From: Into Thy Word http://www.intothyword.org If you are a pastor you must ask yourself this question, am I running on fumes, is my tank empty? I found several diseases among pastors and Christian workers that I have worked with and observed over the years; and each disease I have personally felt when I have gone unchecked. http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=39272&view=post&blogid= Wed, 31 Oct 2007 00:00:00 -0400 I want to say to you, those of you who are Christians or even if you are not a Christian and you are troubled about the direction that our society is going in, that we must not concentrate merely on the bits and pieces. But we must understand that all of these dilemmas come on the basis of moving from the Judeo-Christian world view -- that the final reality is an infinite creator God -- over into this other reality... http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=36268&view=post&blogid= Tue, 17 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0400 The Lamb http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=33363&view=post&blogid= Fri, 20 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0400 ¿Consultas con Dios antes de tomar decisiones?

We do this through learning the tools and skills to help us observe the text, dig out the meaning, and then apply it to our lives. http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=31556&view=post&blogid= Wed, 21 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0400 Why we are called to be A Shepherd? Do you know where you are going? Do you have not just the vision, but the true Truth of His call and Way? We have to know where the well is before leading others to it! Christ and His precepts are the well, and we follow the path by example, nurture and service with faith, fruit, character and maturity so others can partake of His wonders. We have to know, and to do this, we have to grow. If we are not growing in the faith, we are useless and unable to lead or equip others. We will lord over by pride, teach falsely or sloppily and lead others astray; we will dishonor our Lord. http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=79859&view=post&blogid= Fri, 1 Jun 2012 00:00:00 -0400 Our Confession of Faith, Chapter 28, Section 5, makes it very clear that our subordinate standards do not teach Baptismal Regeneration: "Although it be a great sin to condemn or neglect this ordinance, yet grace and salvation are not so inseparably annexed unto it, as that no person can be regenerated or saved without it, or that all that are baptized are undoubtedly regenerated." http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=36267&view=post&blogid= Tue, 17 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0400 The Scroll http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=33362&view=post&blogid= Fri, 20 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0400 PROPOSITO: Aclarar el proposito del Bautismo de acuerdo a la palabra de Dios.

We do this through teaching people tools and skills to help observe the text, dig out the meaning, and then apply it to their lives. Thus, inductive Bible Study enhances the exegesis process by enabling us to read the Bible for more impact, value and significance. In practice, we first examine the ideas and words of the text, then this leads us to the meanings and interpretations, and then we are led to the conclusions and applications. http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=31555&view=post&blogid= Wed, 21 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0400 Do you listen to God? Most would emphatically say yes or at least think they do, pay attention to God. Or do we just listen to ourselves or snoop out the faulty trends? Consider these questions, why do you study the Bible? Why do you pray? Why and how do you worship? Is it a two-way communication? Or is it just you dictating to God? Now, consider one of the essential inductive questions that help us know and grow in the Word: what is in the way of my listening to God? http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=67090&view=post&blogid= Mon, 31 May 2010 00:00:00 -0400 Jesus is God! http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=64309&view=post&blogid= Mon, 8 Feb 2010 00:00:00 -0400 Too often they have failed to show the beauty of love, the beauty of Christ,the Holiness of God, and the world has turned away.Is there no way to make the world look again -this time at true Christianity.

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, may our children and grandchildren not say that such can be said about us. http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=36258&view=post&blogid= Tue, 17 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0400 One of the primary purposes and call of Into Thy Word Ministries is to research, develop and provide Pastoral Training Curriculum!
