From: Into Thy Word http://www.intothyword.org 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 Are you willing to take an honest look at some of the reasons why people are not coming to your church?1,103 churches surveyed and tracked for 12-plus years http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=35969&view=post&blogid= Fri, 6 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0400 Introduction to the Book of Revelation and Background Material.Have you ever wondered what the book of Revelation is all about?

But, it does have honest, truthful, and... http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=33337&view=post&blogid= Fri, 20 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0400 How can we restrain our desires to manipulate, control, and to be aggressive, and repair relationships instead? Simply by realizing whom we are before a Holy God and the undeserving gift that is ours!

You probably say no way! But do you live your life that way. That is having a "me first" identity, always placing the emphases on the "I" and "Me". If only I...

There are times when we as Christians are called to arms, as the song goes, "onward Christian solders."

You certainly can't do that alone. You'll need God, a strong desire to abstain from sex, and friends who will support your decision. The people who've told you it's OK to sleep around are not that kind of friends, and they're not people you should be listening to. There's a great life ahead of you if you go in the right direction. And you need to make sure the people around you want to go that direction, too. http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=32693&view=post&blogid= Tue, 3 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0400 The capable Bible student is rooted and grounded in the spiritual disciplines of the faith, whose drive is their passionate love relationship to the Lordship of Christ.

A lot of people are unreasonable-even Christians. We will run into people who will just not get it; they will not listen, deal, resolve, or handle things God's way. They only want their way or the highway. http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=33174&view=post&blogid= Sat, 14 Apr 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!
