Десятина и рыночный тест
Рич Хеннон | 12 мая 2023 г. | Давайте посмотрим на разные способы траты наших денег. Самый знакомый нам, потому что он, кроме прочего, и наиболее частый, — это покупка каких-то «товаров». Я взял это слово в кавычки, потому что оно часто используется в экономике как часть фразы «товары и услуги». «Товар» — это какой-то материальный предмет, который вы […] Source: https://atoday.org/%d0%b4%d0%b5%d1%81%d1%8f%d1%82%d0%b8%d0%bd%d0%b0-%d0%b8-%d1%80%d1%8b%d0%bd%d0%be%d1%87%d0%bd%d1%8b%d0%b9-%d1%82%d0%b5%d1%81%d1%82/
¿Estamos llegando a millones de personas con el Conflicto de los siglos?
Si dirigieras una gran empresa, ¿gastarías mil millones de dólares en una campaña publicitaria para la que no existen pruebas de que funcione? La Iglesia Adventista del Séptimo Día está haciendo precisamente eso. Seré más preciso. Nadie sabe en realidad si el envío directo y a ciegas por correo del Conflicto de los siglos […] Source: https://atoday.org/estamos-llegando-a-millones-de-personas-con-el-conflicto-de-los-siglos/
Sabbath: Paul and the Ephesians
Sabbath Afternoon
Image © Pacific Press
Read for This Week’s Study: Acts 18:18-21; Acts 19:13-20:1; Acts 20:17-38; Ephesians 1:1-2; Ephesians 6:21-24; Ephesians 3:13; Ephesians 1:9-10.
Memory Text: “Making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth” (Ephesians 1:9-10, ESV).
When we write something, we have a purpose for doing so, sometimes a weighty one. Abraham Lincoln, for instance, wrote his famous Gettysburg address in 1863, after the terrible devastation in the American Civil War battle there, which left about 7,000 soldiers dead. In that address, invoking the founding fathers, Lincoln expressed his belief that the Civil War was the ultimate test as to whether the nation created in 1776 would endure or would “perish from the earth.”
Paul has a profound purpose that motivates his letter. Partly because of his imprisonment (Ephesians 3:13, Ephesians 6:20), and partly because of ongoing persecution and temptations, the Ephesians are tempted to lose heart. Paul reminds them of what happened when they were converted, accepting Christ as their Savior and becoming part of the church. They have become Christ’s body (Ephesians 1:19-23, Ephesians 4:1-16), the building materials in a temple (Ephesians 2:19-22), the bride of Christ (Ephesians 5:21-33), and a well-equipped army (Ephesians 6:10-20). They play a strategic role in fulfilling God’s grand plan, to unite everything in Christ (Ephesians 1:9-10). Paul writes to awaken the believers in Ephesus to their full identity and privileges as followers of Christ.
Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, July 1.
Amen!
