258154: What Does God Want from Me? Understanding God"s  Desire for Your LifeWhat Does God Want from Me? Understanding God's Desire for Your Life

By Mark Matlock / Zondervan Youth Specialties


Many people think being a Christian means doing the right thing. But what exactly is the "right thing"? We've probably all wondered things like:
  • Does what I wear to church on Sunday matter to God?
  • Will God be upset if I don't read the Bile every day?
  • Is being a missionary or pastor a higher calling then being a plumber or a doctor?
  • Do I have to tell everyone I meet about Jesus?
  • What is okay for Christians to do?
  • Will God disown me if I do something I'm not supposed to do?
The question we should ask is, "Who came up with this list of things that God supposedly wants from us?" The reality is that the Bible tells us what God wants from us. In this book, Mark Matlock will lead you through the important messages God has given us in his Word--messages that reveal what God actually wants from us so we don't have to wonder anymore.

Joseph The Carpenter

Who is sainth Joseph?

He can Install hardwood floor. He can make a good cabinet. He can do heaps of wood works. He is a carpenter.

He is also a good model of faith. He obeyed God's command without any objection. He simply did as told.

He was a man who respect human dignity. He did not questions Mary's purity and intention to marry him. When he learned that she had a child, he planned to divorce her without putting her to shame.

He was a good father to the man God Jesus. He was privileged to train the man Jesus from a young boy growing up into an adult. He could have taught hi8m how to use a hammer, paint a woodwork, or how to grow up as a man how knows how to face the challenges of the world.

He was a good husband. A good protector of his family. Without any complaints he brought his family to Egypt to protect from Herod's threat. He helped Mary deliver Jesus safely despite the hazardous situation they found themselves in.

He is indeed a saint. a silent saint, a silent worker, a man of faith and a God.

Hewre is a guide question when meditating on the Word of God:

What does the text tell me:

What is a Christian Sin

Sin seems to be too easy to comprehend but in complicated circumstances one will find it hard to know whether an act is sinful.

The magic word in understanding sin is RELATIONSHIP. In fact the word sin in it.

Here is a typical example. A young couple got married because of the pressure from their families for the woman has gotten pregnant. Both of them were not yet ready emotionally and financially but to protect the dignity of the woman's family the couple was forced to enter into marriage.

As expected, their marriage failed and eventually they separated. Having a life of their own now, and has grown more maturely they found new loves and are now emotionally ready to take the responsibility of husband and wife and as parents. But since their previous marriage was valid then civil and canon law wise, they are not eligible to marry. Result, both were living with their respective partners without the blessing of the sacrament of matrimony.

Question, are their acts sinful or not?

Conventionally it sinful but for the persons involved, they can rationalize that they are not doing anything evil. All they knew is that they truly love and that loving is itself good. Had it not been to their families pressure, then perhaps they did not marry in the first place.

To resolve the issue, the question that needed to be asked is: Is the act breaking relationship or not. if it does, then it is sin if not then it is not sin.

If you read closely, the ten commandments are all about relationship. Relationship to God, parents and neighbours.

Christian Logo

Any Christian logo should depict one or more conventional Christian symbols. The following are among some of the more popular Christian symbols.

The Cross

The cross symbolizes our salvation, Christians and non Christian alike. It also symbolizes Jesus sufferings, thus we find deeper meaning on our own personal sufferings.

The Fish

This is the early Christian password. They can easily identify other Christians by discreetly showing a simple drawing of a fish. In Hebrew, the word fish is an acronym of Jesus Son of God Saviour, or Icthys – Iesous Christos Theos Yios Soter.

Gabled House plus Cross on the ridge.

General symbol for a place of worship or a Church building

Dove

This is the symbol of the Holy Spirit. It also symbolizes peace.

Lamb

Symbolizes Jesus being the lamb of God who took away the sins of the world.

Rainbow

This symbolizes God’s promise that there will never be flood as the in Noah’s time.
Three intersecting Circles

This symbolizes the Holy Trinity. Three divine Persons in one God.

One or a combination of this plus a symbol that is typical of a particular organizations or Christian groups is ideal as a Christian logo.

A typical Custom Logo Design would be like a group of Christian youth united together for a Christian cause can have a simple logo like stick people joining hands forming a circle and with a cross or fish in the middle.
