The Condition of Our Heart

ryan@stfonline.org (Spirit & Truth Fellowship International) — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 12:00:03 -0500

The Parable of the Sower of Luke 8 is considered by many to be one of the most well known and perhaps the most important parable Jesus spoke. Generally this parable is approached from the perspective of evangelism. However, in this teaching, Mike Patten explores its meaning and how it relates to the hearts of all men. Jesus often spoke in parables, and for us, just like the disciples, “the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God” will be revealed to those who aggressively inquire of Jesus. The parable includes a stern warning to “consider carefully how you listen,” as Jesus reveals four conditions of the heart; the hard-hearted, half-hearted, shallow-hearted, and good-hearted. This teaching concludes with an exhortation to all that the “noble and good-hearted who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering, produce a crop.”

Character Counts

ryan@stfonline.org (Spirit & Truth Fellowship International) — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 12:00:40 -0500

By Dan Gallagher and John Schoenheit

Far too often Christians fail to understand the significant role a person’s character plays in life both now, and as the basis for rewards at the Judgment. God is so concerned about our character that he has filled His Word with character instructions and lessons.

In this teaching Dan Gallagher and John Schoenheit together define character, demonstrate its value, and show why God is concerned about our character. They also illustrate that everyone’s character is under their control, and if we do not like the way we are, we can change. Every Christian has a gifting given by God, but God does not reward us because of our gifts. He rewards us based on what we have done with our gifts, which will depend on our character. In closing, John and Dan provide 4 powerful steps to evaluating and changing our character.

Convicted, but not Condemned

ryan@stfonline.org (Spirit & Truth Fellowship International) — Thu, 21 May 2009 12:00:00 -0500

“How to respond to sin in a godly manner”

Everyone’s life is filled with lots of choices to make. Unfortunately, we often make the wrong choice, which can range from a simple misstep to serious sin. No matter what type of error we make, God has laid out a path that leads us from those times of darkness back to His light. In this teaching, Dan Gallagher explores the roles of reproof, remorse (godly sorrow or worldly sorrow), and repentance, and teaches about their relationship to living in the redemptive reality that God has called us to.

Dan explains the differences between the judicial (legal) and the emotional concepts of conviction and condemnation, and sets forth the biblical understanding of freedom, liberty, and character. When we improperly relate to our sin we move toward one of two extremes, having a seared conscience on the one hand (hardheartedness), or hopelessness (condemnation) on the other. When we are convicted of our wrongdoing without being condemned, we are able to grow past our mistakes both emotionally and spiritually, and live in the full light of God’s high calling.

Prayer Matters

ryan@stfonline.org (Spirit & Truth Fellowship International) — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 11:00:00 -0500

God wants Christians to pray. He urges, even commands us over and over, to pray. We are to pray throughout the day about everything that is happening around us. “Be…faithful in prayer” (Rom. 12:12); “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests” (Eph. 6:18); “…in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God” (Phil. 4:6); “Devote yourselves to prayer…” (Col. 4:2); “Pray continually” (1 Thess. 5:17). God has given us these clear commands, so how did it happen that the average Christian may only pray before a meal, or in an emergency or difficult situation, or perhaps to start a meeting?

In this teaching, John Schoenheit examines how the doctrine that “God is in control” and “everything that happens is God’s will” has undermined prayer. The earth is a war zone, and when we pray we participate in the spiritual battle. Our prayers speak into existence the legal permission for God to act in our lives. Prayer takes time and energy, but it is vital if we are going to live blessed lives, so let’s get started immediately in praying throughout the day.

Living from the Heart of God

ryan@stfonline.org (Spirit & Truth Fellowship International) — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 11:00:58 -0600

This teaching shows that even though salvation is not obtained by keeping the Law, the Law is holy, just, and good (Rom. 7:12). The Law contains God's wisdom and heart for mankind, and some of it does apply to us today. Many of God's commands in the Law help us live lives that are pleasing to God and free from the bondage of sin. Furthermore, they will position us to be richly rewarded in the coming Kingdom of God on earth.
