From: Into Thy Word http://www.intothyword.org If you are a pastor you must ask yourself this question, am I running on fumes, is my tank empty? I found several diseases among pastors and Christian workers that I have worked with and observed over the years; and each disease I have personally felt when I have gone unchecked. http://www.intothyword.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=39272&columnid= Wed, 31 Oct 2007 00:00:00 -0400 God's Word will never pass away, but looking back to the Old Testament and since the time of Christ, with tears we must say that because of lack of fortitude and faithfulness on the part of God's people, God's Word has many times been allowed to be bent, to conform to the surrounding, passing, changing culture of that moment rather than to stand as the inerrant Word of God judging the form of the world spirit and the surrounding culture of that moment. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, may our children and grandchildren not say that such can be said about us. http://www.intothyword.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=36258&columnid= Tue, 17 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0400 Estudio Inductivo del Libro de Juan Capítulo 13 http://www.intothyword.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=36162&columnid= Fri, 13 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0400 “How to Destroy a Relationship!?” Why would we want to talk about this? This may sound like it is way out in left field. Why talk about how to destroy a relationship? Are we not already pretty good at this? Does this subject fit in to how to find and build a better relationship? The answer is, yes. Because, if we know what destroys our relationships, we can be on guard to prevent it, just as we need to know how Satan operates so we can buffet an attack and go through Spiritual Warfare unscarred. http://www.intothyword.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=32520&columnid= Fri, 30 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0400 False Teachers Will be Judged and Destroyed! http://www.intothyword.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=36069&columnid= Tue, 10 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0400 The Church exists by what Christ has done for us in and for His glory and the production of His work. The church exists for us to be in Christ our Lord, to be His people, and His hands and feet.

This is the process of further interpretation, which is determining the meaning of the text. Not just what it says, but what we do with it: to determine how it’s going to effect and fit into our life. It is not enough to just know it. It must be rooted in our very hearts, minds and soul! http://www.intothyword.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=31563&columnid= Wed, 21 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0400 Estudio Inductivo: Capítulo 12 del Libro de San Juan http://www.intothyword.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=36161&columnid= Fri, 13 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0400 Out of learning why churches fail, we also learned why they succeeded. The churches that were healthy, growing spiritually, and socially vibrant have significant aspects that set them apart from the failing churches. These factors are displayed in order of relevance and importance. Each one of these factors creates a harmony, contentment, and atmosphere for a churchgoer to come to church services and fellowship, and then to invite others. http://www.intothyword.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=35972&columnid= Fri, 6 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0400 Managing the Pastor’s to maximize results.

We all have different personalities, habits, desires, experiences, and expectations, all converging and conflicting, and the water cooler area becomes a gathering place for hearing the latest gossip, a hotbed of conflict and chaos. Somehow, in the midst of all this, we, as Christians, are called to distinction. This rubs us against the grain of our coworkers and employers, who have conflicting ideas. The Christian enters into... http://www.intothyword.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=32519&columnid= Fri, 30 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0400 The Problem of False Teachers! http://www.intothyword.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=36068&columnid= Tue, 10 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0400 We all desire to have our churches growing. If not, there is something wrong. Your call and profession might need a review. Growing a church is Biblical, and an imperative from our Lord.

They go back and mine out additional precepts, and that is why they get more so they can teach more. They seek out what they missed by interviewing the text and they look for what can additionally be learned. And you can do this too! This step is designed for you to do just that, get more out of the Bible. http://www.intothyword.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=31562&columnid= Wed, 21 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0400 Estudio Inductivo del Libro de Juan Capítulo 11 http://www.intothyword.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=36160&columnid= Fri, 13 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0400 Are you crying out to God asking why things are not going right in your church? Dealing with apathy and ineptitude? Is your church on the path of self-destruction and ineffectiveness? Are people lining up for war in various factions and sides while conflict and discontent are running amok? Are some people gossiping while others are being ignored? Is Christ outside knocking on your door, but not getting in? Instead, have you replaced Him with what you think is relevance and attractiveness to the Gospel but in fact, http://www.intothyword.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=35971&columnid= Fri, 6 Jul 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!

So how should we do them? Some are formal. Others are leisurely and informal. Some are very skilled, with strict rules of order and procedures laid out so specifically that the meeting is the ministry. http://www.intothyword.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=32790&columnid= Wed, 4 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0400 The Forth Step of Inductive Bible Study is Asking, "What Does This Passage Mean?"Inductive Bible Study helps us study with a plan: consecutive reading, book study, topical study, and verse-by-verse. When observing we first ask what it says, then and only then can we examine what it means. This is the crucial step we have to undertake before we apply it to our lives. There are no easy ways out, or shortcuts to understanding any great works of literature, especially God’s Word! http://www.intothyword.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=31561&columnid= Wed, 21 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0400 Estudio Inductivo del Libro de Juan Capítulo 10 http://www.intothyword.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=36159&columnid= Fri, 13 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0400 The problems of Church can be solved and used for His glory!
