The Learned

First of all, focus less on church growth and more on saving souls. There is a huge difference. The priority is not about how big your church is but about caring for the lost and saving them from hell, no matter which church they end up in.  True church growth comes when the church moves in power: healing, deliverance, signs and wonders. That's how Jesus did it and that's what we need to do: healing, deliverance, signs and wonders. So church growth is not something we do -- it's something God does. Matthew 16:18-19 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church , and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Jesus said He will build the church -- not us. Our job is to bind and loose.

Firstly, homeschool all the way. Secondly, have his father be more involved in his life. From conception, it is the man who determines the sex of the child -- X and Y chromosomes. This is why when a man validates the gender of the child, the child believes him -- "You're my little princess," or "That's my boy!" is so important for gender assurance at a young age. Read, "Wild at Heart" by John Eldredge to understand about masculinity and how it works and what to say and not to say to your child for gender assurance. What the mom says somehow has less of an impact than what their dad says. I'm not here to judge but this behaviour is common with single parenting (no father) and absent or disconnected fathers.

Don't shorten it but rather emphasize on the purpose of reading -- not completing the Bible for the sake of completing it. But to receive the Rhema (alive and relevant for the day) word of God, and not just the Logos (unalive). We need to read with revelation but most importantly, we need to read with our hearts, not our head.  The Holy Spirit speaks to us, and He speaks to our hearts, when we read. Ask her to close her eyes and ask God to speak to her about an issue in her life that she needs help with. Then, ask God for a book, chapter and verse. And wait for it. This can take a while the first few times. Patience is key but she'll get the hang of it after a few days. Once she receives that, ask her to read that chapter and ask God to speak to her about it. It's so important not to water down the Word of God. My kindergarten had us all bring our NKJV bibles to class everyday. I was 5+ when I learned to read it. My daughter and I took turns to read that same Bible. She was...

It's like selling your soul to the devil. Big NO  Matthew 16:26-27 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. We can't be unequally yoked with the devil: 2 Corinthians 6 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” 17 Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” 18 “I will be a Father ...

Before you learn to pray, you need to first understand the whole point of praying and to understand that, you need to understand the whole point of Christianity, which I'm hoping you have already figured out by now -- that Christianity is not a religion but a relationship. And if you have ever fallen in love before, you would know how to pray -- praying is simply talking to Jesus -- the Love of your Life, Heart of your Heart and Darling of your soul. There, I just taught you to pray. If you want a book, read "Good Morning, Holy Spirit" by Benny Hinn. Build that intimacy with God. There is no other reason to live. His Word is the food we eat -- He is our Daily Bread. Worship is the water we drink -- it refreshes our soul. Prayer is the air we breathe -- we pray without ceasing. 

Hi there, what sort of questions do you have? Perhaps try handing over one. As far as life is concerned, here is one of the most frequently asked questions: most people ask what our purpose of life is -- why did God create us. Why did God create human beings in the first place? Why did God create Adam and Eve? God created us to first have a relationship with Him. He wanted children, so He created us in His image -- in the image of God. And He would spend time, everyday, with Adam and Eve, chatting with them and building that relationship with them. It was a beautiful time. But as we all know, Adam and Eve disobeyed God when they took of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil which they were told not to take. And their eyes were opened -- their ignorance shattered -- sin entered in. That sin separated them from God because God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. The relationship between man and God has been broken -- the closeness, that beautiful thing they had. But to make ...
