How do I stay spirtually hungry

1. Remind Myself how much God loves me ( filling with the fullness of  life and the power that comes from God.) Ephesians 3:19
2. Stop filling up on junk food (The Load says "Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And delight yourself in abundance") Isaiah 55:2
3. Make knowing God my number one goal ("Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.") Matthew 6:33
4. Get into God's word every day ("you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment like a baby cries for milk") 1 Peter 2:2
5. Joining small bible study group for support ("follow the way of good people, and keep to the paths of the righteous") Proverb 2:20

عید قیام مسیح مبارک باد

گفت که پسر انسان باید به دست گناهکاران تسلیم شده، بر صلیب کشیده شود و در روز سوم برخیزد. ( لوقا 24:7 )

محبت به دشمنان

عیسی مسیح فرمود:
شنیده ا ید که گفته شده، همسایه ات را محبت نما و با دشمنت دشمنی کن. اما من به شما میگویم دشمنان خود را محبت نمایید و برای آنها که به شما آزار می رسانند، دعای خیر کنید تا پدر خود را که در آسمان است فرزندان باشید. زیرا او آفتاب خود را بر بدان و نیکان میتاباند و باران خود را بر پارسایان و بدکاران میباراند. (انجیل متی باب 5 آیه 43-45 )

جلوه های محبت

مغلوب بدی مشو، بلکه بدی را با نیکویی مغلوب ساز. ( رومیان باب 12 آیه 21) 

تظاهر به دینداری

عیسی مسیح در انجیل لوقا باب 20 آیه 46 فرمود:

از این علمای متظاهر دوری کنید که دوست دارند با قباهای بلند خودنمایی کنند و به هنگام عبور از کوچه و بازار مردم به ایشان تعظیم کنند و چقدر دوست دارند که در عبادتگاهها و جشنهای مذهبی بالای مجلس بنشینند. اما وقتی دعاهای طولانی میکنند و تظاهر به دینداری مینمایند تمام هوش و حواسشان به اینست که چگونه اموال بیوه زنان را تصاحب نمایند. از اینرو مجازات آنان بسیار شدید خواهد بود.

Whom Do You Serve

Here's the secret to serving with  the light attitude: take your eyes off the physical people you are serving, and place your eyes solely on the One whom you must ultimately serve

It's workday at your church, and you're assigned the lowliest, most unpleasant job on the list,  deep  clean the bathrooms. Not very glamorous

The chemical small is only a little worse than, well, the typical bathroom smells. Dirt is ground in. You can't imagine how any place could get so dirty. In the middle of wiping around the third toilet, you realize that this is just going to get dirty again (quickly) and no one is going to notice or recognize your hand work

And then, by the fourth toilet, Jesus has let you know that it's not about you, it's not about toilets, and it's not about the rest of the church members. It's about serving. And it's about him. God is pleased when we consider our service for others as a service to him. Even when it includes cleaning bathrooms

In the end, serving him is what matters most

Ephesians 6:7
