ASSUMPTIONS OF BIBLICAL COMMUNICATION

ASSUMPTIONS OF BIBLICAL COMMUNICATION

Speaking at the maiden batch of the School of Purpose and Relationships, PDS opens his class on Communication Skills with this interesting subject which can be termed as a pre-communication. He lays the foundation for Christian or Biblical communication and declares that all communication skill is subject to the Biblical standard of communication, especially when we are speaking about preaching of God's Word.

He shares encouragement from Gideon's call and calls on all to be truly unleashed for God's course. The message takes about 40 minutes while the remaining time is spent in prayer. Whatever year it is, it is your year to possess territories for God. And He promises you victory, for His glory. Amen.

TACKLING THE "GOD HAS NO WRATH" HERESY

TACKLING THE "GOD HAS NO WRATH" HERESY

In this episode, I summarize a series of Facebook posts made in rebuttal of false teaching that God cannot be angry. The posts are on my Facebook timeline under the name Pious D. Serwonu and the hashtag #CanLoveGetAngry. May we all accept God's truth over lies from respected men.

TO ANSWER A FOOL OR NOT

TO ANSWER A FOOL OR NOT

Pious looks into the seemingly contradicting counsels of Proverbs 26:4-5 on how to respond to folly from fools. Does the Bible command us to be silent and never mind fools? Or does the Bible permit us to take them boot for boot?

IT IS WORKING

IT IS WORKING

What do you do when those who helped you start now need you to stop as you properly and passionately pursue Jesus? Is it time to stop and quarrel? Is it time rather to continue to pray the LORD for mercy?

HELP MY UNBELIEF

HELP MY UNBELIEF

Many times faith is the first miracle we need in a dead situation. If Jesus will give us the miracle, who gives us the faith? Can He not help us believe?

STAYING GLORIOUS

STAYING GLORIOUS

Many times, we lost sight of the purpose of our lives when we get self-centered and compare ourselves with ungodly standards. In this episode, we learn how such false comparisons can be depressing. Then, we learn how to always reset and find true pleasure in fellowship with the LORD our Creator.

GLORY FROM THE GORY

GLORY FROM THE GORY

Last week we mentioned that the purpose of our existence is to bring glory to God. More importantly, for believers, we are recreated to declare God’s excellence and walk in good works that He predestined for us (1 Peter 2:9, Ephesians 2:10). God has decreed in advance that His chosen ones will be an expression of His greatness in many ways including miracles and character. While the glory of God comes through our agreeably good conditions, God’s thoughts are higher than that.

In John 9:1-12, Jesus met a man who was blind from birth. His disciples asked whether the man was blind because of some sin. But Jesus’ answer tells us something. Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.” (John 9:3, ESV)

There is someone reading this now whose glorification of God will not come from the perfections of health but from restoration and healing. Someone’s glorification of God will come through the darkness of their sins because they will be forgiven greatly and they will be evidence of God’s display of mercy. Someone’s glory to God will come from their gloomy days and dark lives because they will see God’s great light.

The context of your situation is that God has an opportunity to display His glory. Your life is for God’s glory, and so is your death. Your health is for God’s glory, and so is your healing. Your sight is for God’s glory, and so is your blindness. Jesus’ answer tells us that God can still get glory from the gory. God does not enjoy our glory, He creates His own glory from our humus. He manufactures His praise. You are blessed if you are not offended in God’s judgment, because He is the context overall. And it’s all about Him. Hallelujah!

ASSIGNED

ASSIGNED

Your life is for God's glory. Satan doesn't get the glory. Nothing else gets the glory. Nothing else gets your attention, nothing else gets your effort. Nothing else gets your dedication. What you should dedicate your whole life to, no matter what you are doing, no matter what job you are doing, no matter where you are situated is that your life should bring glory to God. No matter what you are going through you need to premise in your mind that "my life is for God's glory". Your life indeed is for God's glory. That is the context of your existence and that is what you should be doing - giving glory to God. I pray that this year your life will bring glory to God's name. God bless you. Amen.

NOT AN ACCIDENT

NOT AN ACCIDENT

We exist because God decided to make us and the rest of the Universe exist. Some people believe they evolved from apes or some accidental collision of dusts. If that is you, then your context is different. An accident of existence can only accidentally make any meaning. And I wonder how an unintelligent and unintentional existence can make any sense. If you are just some product of chemical of no source, then there is no real need for a meaning to your life. You are just happening.

But we believe that humans were created by God. He is a wise and intentional God, so our lives are meaningful.

Jan 10, 202303:20
CONTEXT OF LIFE

CONTEXT OF LIFE

The meaning of a word or phrase is largely determined by its context, not just how it’s pronounced or who says it. Context provides cues into intentions and meanings that would have been hard to define. Isolating a word or sentence from its context is a recipe to confusion and chaos. Similarly, our existence will be soaked in confusion if we don’t appreciate the context in which we exist. Unless we put our individual selves in the overall context, life is just a puzzle for our confusion.
Our years can be meaningless circles around the clock and our activities can seem never to add up, even our wealth and family; unless we appreciate the context in which we exist. Meaning is found in context.
The context of human existence is found in God, and meaning comes from Him. (Acts 17:28)

NO GOD, NO LAW

NO GOD, NO LAW

There is a such a thing as a godless people, and they are lawless people. The idea of laws and rules is ultimately sourced from the authority of God. Though liberals and subjectivists say that people are free to live as they please and by their own minds, we experience across diverse societies that humans are governed by laws, and not just their minds. PDS espouses in this episode that humans have laws because there is an ultimate Lawgiver who is God. Any society that rejects God, will become increasingly lawless. #God #theism #atheism #thereisGod #GodIs #GodLives #Laws #Legal #Moral #Religion

GOD REVEALS HIMSELF (I)

God reveals Himself beyond what we can learn of Him in creation. He reveals Himself more personally through the patriarchs, the Law, the prophets, Jesus Christ, and summarily through the Bible by His Spirit.

NATURAL KNOWLEDGE OF GOD

NATURAL KNOWLEDGE OF GOD

We seek to understand why teachings and teachers are important. But first, we explain the basic universal access to some truth about God. Do men and women naturally know God, or must they be taught to know Him? This is the first part of a message originally titled THE NEED FOR TEACHERS.

By grace are we saved, it is not of works that anyone should boast. There's a grace to this Christian race. It is not of him who wills or runs but God who shows mercy.

DANGEROUS HILARITY

DANGEROUS HILARITY

Believers are initially tormented by the sins of the world. They may however begin to acclimatize as a way of dealing with the torture of their soft God-loving hearts. But sin must remain unbearable and evil to the righteous man who will endure to the end and be saved.

WHAT'S FUNNY

WHAT'S FUNNY

Lot's sons-in-law laugh at his warning to them instead of heeding and leaving Sodom. They burned with the rest of Sodom despite receiving God's warning because they rejected it, treating it as a joke. It's a dangerous thing to laugh at the wrong side of your mouth.
