Wages Following Jesus - Tina Agung Purnomo

Mark 10: 17-22

God does not deal with the good things we've done. God always sees the roots of life that must be pried out of our lives: our attachment, a monster in our lives.

When bad roots removed from our lives, our relationship with God would be amazing, because there is no longer a barrier.

When the light of God down, will be visible dirt should be removed from our lives. Before there was the light of God, we can not see the dirt.

The body is made of: body-mind-spirit. God wants all of them holy and pleasing to God.

We need money in life and ministry, but must not be attached to money. (Matthew 6: 24)

The only additional wealth in our lives. We may be rich, and it is our rations. But we must not love money more than love Jesus.

2 Timothy 3: 1-2 - When a person becomes a slave of money, he would be evil.

If we do not control the money, we would have controlled the money, eventually became a slave to money.

There is a time to work for a living, but there is a time of worship, praise and worship God.

Tithing is one of the ways that are not attached to money. Tithing consecrate 90% of our parts.

Mark 10: 23-30 - People Air-money is hard to enter the kingdom of God. Then it must be trained since not have much money, so when blessings, not attached to money.

Mark 10: 25 - Pinhole: a small hole at the city gate. Camels can still go pinhole, but had to kneel down, and the load is removed first.

Mark 10: 28-31 - What did Jesus say: abandon all for the gospel, not leaving because of conflicts or problems. Not mentioned in the Bible: to leave his / her spouse.

Suppose a rich young man was still following Jesus, he will hear the claims of Jesus and was not disappointed. Do not be afraid of losing anything.


Wages follow Jesus

1. eternal life (Mark 10: 30c)

If you do not have Jesus, then we can not spend eternity.

Tit 2: 11-12 - We must learn to manage your life wisely. We must know Jesus more, live more refined, bad character removed.

When we are called by God, can only bring our heart that loves God. Focus on eternity, not only in the present.


2. There is a price to be paid

The price paid to follow Jesus:

Leave home, family, etc. On the other books say that Peter finally had many spiritual children.

Sometimes people who follow Jesus shunned friends, family, even our bosses. It does not matter, because our life is different.


3. Accept personal wages

Thanks to God not only for others, but also for our personal. Our lives would not be the same as those who live without Jesus. (Col 3: 22-24)

Life is full of fight, let's fight with Jesus. Then the struggle it would generate growing faith in Jesus, victory in Jesus, being a witness, and so on.

Mark 10: 31 - This verse is a warning for us to stay motivated in serving the Lord. This is not a prophecy that will be fulfilled.

God wants all His children to follow Jesus faithfully to the finish line, not loose, and not lost.

10 Ayat di Alkitab yang Ungkapkan Tentang Indahnya Cinta

Hari Valentine merupakan peringatan akan hari cinta kasih yang digelar setiap 14 Februari. Perayaan cinta ini identik sekali dengan hadiah, permen, bunga dan juga cokelat. Hal ini masih sesuai dengan pemahaman kaum awam bahwa hal sederhana yang bisa dilakukan sebagai ungkapan cinta adalah dengan memberikan sesuatu kepada orang yang spesial. Meskipun kebiasaan ini sangat digemari banyak orang, tapi tetap saja kita harus kembali mengingat kalau cinta kepada pasangan atau keluarga adalah model cinta yang harus kita teladani. Sebagaimana Allah yang sudah terlebih dahulu mengasihi kita. Dalam Alkitab juga disebutkan bahwa ‘Allah adalah kasih’. Itu artinya bahwa kasih adalah salah satu karakteristik utama Allah. Karena kita diciptakan menurut gambar Allah, Dia juga menganugerahkan kita kemampuan untuk mencintai. Dalam 1 Korintus 13: 4-8 dijabarkan tentang kasih Allah bagi kita dan memberitahukan kit acara untuk saling mengasihi.  “Kasih itu sabar; kasih itu murah hati; ia tidak cemb...

Warren Mantofa Exactly seven years ago Warren was born with lungs were not fully developed. Once outside the operating room, Prof. Erwin explained that in critical condition and decided to include Warren to the pediatric ICU. Philip tearfully asked for some time to be alone with our baby and said, "Warren, the meaning of your name is General. Daddy know you certainly can fight against it all."

MEMBANGUN MEZBAH DALAM HIDUPKU

POIN YG DI PELAJARI: -PENGERTIAN MEZBAH -CARA MEMBUATNYA DIDALAM HIDUP KITA -AYAT PENDUKUNG EZRA 3:1-7 ILUSTRASI: Pengertian. Pada umumnya ~M adalah sebuah tempat persembahan korban. ~M juga bisa diartikan sebagai sebuah peringatan, artinya: untuk mengingatkan kembali pada suatu pengalaman pertemuan dengan Allah yang luar biasa (~M menandai tempat-tempat pengembaraan para nenek moyang bangsa Isr.:  Kej 12:8; 13:4; 26:25; 33:20 ). Allah mengadakan hubungan dengan umat-Nya. Oleh sebab itu orang berusaha mengadakan sebuah ~M-tunggal, yang dijadikan sumber kekuatan dan gambaran persatuan bangsa Isr. ( 2Taw 3:12 ). ~M mula-mula kehilangan artinya dalam PB, sebab persatuan umat dengan Allah kini terjadi dalam persatuan umat dengan Kristus ( Ibr 13:10 ) barangkali yang dimaksudkan dengan kata ~M adalah Kristus). ~M dalam PL jarang sekali diwujudkan dalam bentuk meja, sehingga nampaknya berlawanan dengan mezbah-mezbah para bangsa Kafir, yang percaya, bahwa para dewa makan di ~M (b...
