One Soul

A mathematician said that if a person could bring one soul during the year to the church, and if these two during the second year would bring each a soul, and if these four, during the third year, would bring each one, one more soul to the church: If you continue like this in the same order, for 32 years all souls in the world would be saved.
  
 (...) And he who wins souls is wise. 
                                                                 (Proverbs 11:30)

Things that you did not know about TIME - Bishop Renato Cardoso

Self - righteousness

 

He was not lacking righteousness.
Much less integrity of character.
His faith was enviable; he feared God and avoided evil.
Then what was his problem?
Self-righteousness.
Because his behavior was impeccable, upright, God-fearing and he avoided evil. Apparently, Job was perfect.
God exalted him in front of the devil, when He said: "...there is none like him on earth..." Job 1.8
Nevertheless, there was something excruciating and fundamental about him that subtracted from who he was: he only knew the Lord God from what he heard from others. Job 42.5
That was his big problem – which is also most people’s problem.
They are honest, upright, keep away from sin, have a ruled life, do not hurt anyone, but unfortunately, because of this self-justification, they are not delivered.
Everything leads us to believe that a deceiving spirit convinces them of their "purity and holiness”.

HOW FAST WILL YOU GET UP?

The fact that you’re going to fall at some point in your life is practically guaranteed. It seems to be something that mankind specializes in. Slipping up at work, in a relationship, your spiritual life, your finances, in decisions, business, friendships, opinions, your own expectations… the rocks along the way are by no means in shortage.

But slipping or tripping is not the main problem. The biggest mistake many make is to fall and stay down rolling around in their self-pity. Feeling sorry for oneself, ready to blame anything and anyone for the fall, pity-parties and the victim spirit.

God approves fear!

There are some things written in Scripture that seem strange, others don’t make much sense, but they all lead us to very serious reflections concerning our spirituality.
An example of this is the ‘Subject of Fear'.
How can He tell us, 366 times, "do not fear nothing or anybody," and at the end of the Bible, when He speaks about the salvation of the soul, He approves fear?
Is He contradicting Himself?
Is God confused?

YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS

It has never been so easy to criticize, complain, and point fingers, as it is today. The internet guarantees open leeway for trolls and other notorious critics. But of course that behavior as a whole is nothing new. People were always like that. The only thing is that before they didn’t have the megaphone, which is the Internet today, to announce their thoughts.

Here’s a proposition, a principle that you will probably find much easier to live by: the “you’re responsible for this” principle. It works like this:

Every time you want to complain about a situation or about someone, you will be responsible to fix it. If you don’t want to be responsible in doing anything to fix it, then shut your mouth.

QUIZ: How to know if you're proud

One of the most difficult things for a proud person to do is to recognize that they’re proud. So, we are here to help. It’s a very simple test. Read each number in the column to the left and what corresponds on the right. For example, instead of reading one whole column and then moving on to the other, read number 1 and then read number 1 on the Humble column. Then continue on and on.

In total sincerity, evaluate which of the two describes you best and give a point to that answer. In the end, add up the number of points in each column, then the column with the largest number of points will show you which side you lean towards.

GOD RESPECTS YOUR CHOICE

Bishop, unfortunately my story is very similar to Lucy's. I went through the same process she did.

At the age of 19, my biggest dream was to have the opportunity to serve God, and I was pretty close to being blessed. But, I dropped everything for a man. I even handed him my innocence, thinking that he would stay with me. But, the day I finally gave him what he wanted, while we were still at the hotel, after he finished, he just said: "Finally, I got what I wanted so badly”. His words hit me like a bomb. I was looking at the devil himself talking to me.

I left devastated, wanting to die - not because of him, but because I had just thrown everything down the drain. The Holy Spirit had warned me about what was coming.
