Are You In Or Out (Gems of Truth)

English
Season 02 Episode 08 of Gems of Truth. When you need answers where do you search? Who or what do you look to for the answers to life's greatest questions? Many New Age teachers profess that the answers can be found by looking inside yourself. However, what does the Bible teach? Does God truly dwell inside of every person? How does one gain access to the Holy Spirit? The popular deception that God dwells in every person is debunked in this episode, while providing seekers with a better alternative for hope!

Ever-Present: Does God Have A Soul Mate Just For Me? (Part 2)

This week we continue the exploration of Isaac and Rebecca's love story in hopes to understand how God introduces us to the right person to fall in love with. How should a person's ministry play a role in whether or not someone is right for them? To what extent does family play a positive and negative role in godly relationships? Should the right partner take you away from the path God has you on or the ministry God has chosen for you? Can we trust God to be part of the process? What are the four facets to a Christian relationship and how do they relate to us today?

Education: The Christian and Work
How is the institution of work intended as a blessing to humanity? How did work change from before the Fall to afterwards? How can the work we do be a blessing to others and to ourselves? What is the balance between work, faith, family, and leisure time? How should faith inform our work experience? What should be the mindset we have while working?
Church In The Community: Jesus Bade Them Follow Me

How did Jesus lead people to follow Him? How can we do the same today? Does God use flawed people to draw people to Jesus? What role does the church play in bridging the gap between humanity and God? How does God speak to people today? How can we discern the voice of God amid all the other voices which compete for our attention? How does the story of Zacchaeus show that God is often seeking out us when we think it’s difficult for us to seek him? Is God still reaching out to people today? Should we be passive or active in reaching people?

Rise Up And Walk
You can claim God’s forgiveness and rise up and walk. Rise up and walk away from guilt and shame, from the enemy’s constant reminder of what you did. Yes, in faith, reach out to Jesus. Your sins are forgiven. It’s time you get past your past, and rise up and walk. Do not let guilt and shame hold you captive any longer. Close out the critical eyes and lips of the Pharisees and teachers of the law around you and focus only on Jesus’ pardoning grace. Then, in faith, rise up and walk.
Beware of Covetousness
Like Judas, Balaam’s covetousness led him down the path of no return. Even after returning home, discontent filled his heart on the riches he could have gained, hadn’t God controlled his speech. He was bent on having the riches he so desires – even if it meant going against God’s will. You see friend, when we are bent on sinning, God will step aside and allow you to do as you please. The Spirit of God does not always strive with man. To his own eternal loss, Balaam, once a prophet of God, is forever loss to the riches of eternity. Don’t be like Balaam or Judas. Beware of covetousness!
We Wish To See Jesus
am reminded of other instances when persons from foreign lands came to God’s people desiring to learn more about Him but were deprived. King Hezekiah had visitors from Babylon. Instead of showing them the God of Heaven, who delivered him from his enemies, he showed them the riches of Israel. Perhaps in a bragging attitude, he showed them everything in his house. He got the opportunity to introduce God to these people; but instead, he showed them material wealth.
