|
| 0336 Open To God |
The meaning of the word “God” in Hebrew and English. The plural God; other uses for the Hebrew elohim. Was God all alone before project earth? What about “the Word”? “I and my Father are One” yet it is clear they are two. How? Who are the gods in heaven? Jesus is not, and never was, an angel. To be a son of God is to be God; to be sons of God is to become elohim. C.S. Lewis – on man becoming God, and how Jesus was either who He said He was or a lunatic. The “One God” teaching not only denies humans becoming God, but denies the divinity of Jesus Christ. |

| 0347 Thankful for the Hard Times |
Paul was thankful for his conversion experience and thankful even for the thorn in the flesh that he was not delivered from. Mentions of Garner Ted Armstrong, Herbert W Armstrong, Roderick Meredith, Herman Hoeh. The peace of God is tied to being thankful - the Philippian jailer. Story of Dart's childhood difficulties leading to him meeting his wife and subsequently her brother, who was in WCG. We will have persecutions as Jesus did; will we be thankful not only for them, but while in them? |
| 0352 Seven Laws of Prayer |
An excellent guideline to prayer and things to consider when praying:
- It is appointed to man once to die. We should prepare for death and look beyond death.
- Prayer without works is vain. God will not do for us what we can do for ourselves.
- We always need help to pray.
- I am God’s servant, not vice-versa.
- Absolute honesty is required. After all God knows.
- Prayer takes time, attention, and meditation.
- When it comes to words, more is not better.

| 03DGH Does God Heal Today? |
Why does Jesus sometimes heal and sometimes choose not to? How does lack of belief affect healing? Unbelief vs uncertainty. "Faith is placing our trust in Him no matter the outcome." Faith, persistence, arguing with God all made a difference. How does sin tie in with healing? Why Jesus had to suffer. Why do we have to suffer? Our character and our faith is far more important than any suffering we might have to endure. Sickness is the evidence of sin, leading to the ultimate end of sin, death. Healing is the down payment of forgiveness and healing, the ultimate end of which is eternal life. |
| 03RES Respect |
Dart looks at self-esteem, self-respect, thinking too highly of oneself, self-exaltation, disrespect. Self-esteem is destructive; self-respect is constructive. Vanity, esteeming oneself too highly shows a lack of respect for others. Speaking evil of no one. Do not bring a railing accusation. Division is evidence of carnality. Your anchor is in Christ. To follow men in opposition to other men, according to Paul, is vanity, divisive, and carnal. We are not reliable judges of ourselves. What Paul meant by “I am free from all men.” The importance of humility in Paul’s ministry and indeed for all of us in relating to others, and in showing them the proper respect. |

| 03TNP The Next Pentecost |
How might God perform a Pentecost miracle today, especially given our divisions? Story of Ahab and Micaiah and the lying spirit. The gift of tongues on Pentecost resulted in a discernible, understandable gospel message. The importance of maintaining your personal integrity with God,no matter what is going on both in your church and outside. Admonitions for the church from Revelation 2 &3 and Ephesians 4. Tips to building your faith to share with others: 1) Read at least one chapter of the Bible daily; 2) Serious, focused prayer 3 times a day. |
