6 Page 6 Introduction objective: to provide a school to mentor students to be spiritual leaders serving God in church and para-church ministry. The program includes 16 months of study, practical experience and personal discipleship. This spiritual leadership program can be implemented in churches of any size. purpose: There is a great need for Christ-like leaders. The school of ministry program is intended to train Christian leaders through personal discipleship, study, and practical experience. Our desire is to equip believers for the work that God has called them to [Eph. 4:11-13]. Jesus spent time with the disciples and put them in situations where they had to apply what they were learning. The disciples learned from Jesus teaching and example, and sought to replicate His ministry as they followed Him. This is our model for ministry. When we consider the men and women used by God, we are impressed with the diversity of people that God uses to accomplish His purposes. Abraham was the father of the faith. Joseph was a gifted administrator. Moses was a prince and shepherd, and he spoke with God as to a man. He was the great lawgiver. Joshua was a courageous and brilliant military leader, and man of faith above his countrymen. David was a poet, shepherd, and Israel s greatest king. Solomon was the wisest man to walk the earth, besides our Lord Jesus. Ezra brought the Word of God to the life of the people to bring God into the people s lives. Jeremiah wept for the people when they refused to yield to God. Jonah rebelled, and fulfilled his calling with the wrong attitude. Esther received courage, when she thought she had none, and helped deliver her people. Peter was impulsive and acted first and thought later. John was a poet who never forgot that Jesus loved him. Paul was brilliant in his logic and understanding of God s Word and persuasive and bold in declaring the truth. How would your life be impacted if you were motivated to serve God; and you learned to serve Him effectively? How would your family, church and community be changed if you learned to serve God and His people? If communities of believers are stirred to effective ministry our world will be radically changed. overview: the program requires one hour of class time per week, one to two hours of lifework [homework] per week, and approximately one to two hours of practical service per week. The school of ministry will provide approximately 16 months of personal disciple training. enrollment: an application form is provided in the appendix. Students can enter the program at any module. In other words, module 4 is not dependent upon completing modules 1-3. This creates great flexibility regarding enrollment. Nevertheless, I recommend enrolling students as a group in the spring and fall; and promoting the enrollment 4-6 weeks in advance. what s expected of the students [disciples]: 1. ministry involvement: be regularly involved in an area of ministry where you can apply the lessons that you are learning in order to become a more effective spiritual leader. Each student must serve at least 4 hours per month [average 1 hour per week]. 2. ministry report form: each month you will complete a ministry report form that describes your ministry involvement in the preceding month, and what you learned about God, ministry, and yourself. Students are required to serve an average of at least one hour per week [four hours per month].
7 3. reading assignments: every two months, students will be assigned a book that focuses on Christian living, spiritual leadership, or church history/biography themes. The books are approximately 200 pages, and will cost about $ Students will submit a book report describing what they learned about God, the ministry, and themselves from the book. Thus, eight books shall be read, and reported upon during the program. 4. lifework: homework, including reading assignments, will average one to two hours per week. Assignments are graded, and must be submitted in a timely manner. Late work will result in a diminished grade, and patterns of neglect may result in removal from the program. 5. attendance: classes typically meet once a week, and last 75 minutes. Students are expected to arrive on time, and are allowed 6 absences during the sixteen-month SoM program. Students are expected to bring their Bible, and to take notes during class. what s expected of the mentors [teachers]: 1. preparation: review the lessons and be prepared to teach each class [estimated minute prep.]. The lessons contain questions that can be used for class discussion or presented as rhetorical questions at the leader s discretion. 2. student growth plans: as you review the student ministry report forms, prepare a personal spiritual growth plan to help the student grow as a leader. The plan will be designed to intentionally expand the student s sphere of influence every 3 months. There will generally be 5 distinct steps during the sixteen-month program. For example, if a student is an usher on a team of four ushers, step 1 will be to become an assistant on the team during the next three months. Step 2 might be to become the leader of the team during the next three-month interval. Step 3 could be to train an assistant. Step 4 could be to appoint the assistant to a lead position on the team, and help to identify and train a new assistant. Step 5 would be for the student to now oversee two teams of ushers. 3. review and grade papers: each lifework assignment should be reviewed and graded, and students provided encouragement and insight to help them grow. 4. bibliography: a list of required and recommended books are described in the bibliography. The mentor must ensure the students have the assigned book available every two months. Also, encourage students to read the recommended books. Consider ordering copies for the students at a discounted price and pass the savings along to the students. Also, don t hesitate to coordinate with students who prefer to obtain e-copies of the books. 5. holiday schedule: plan to give students approximately four holiday/vacation days during the year. This will likely result in the 15 modules being completed in 16 months. 6. assistants: it may be helpful to recruit an assistant to review and grade papers. SoM graduates may be excellent future assistants. 7. graduation ceremony: coordinate a graduation ceremony to acknowledge the past accomplishments, and celebrate the commencement for future ministry. Provide a certificate of completion. Consider a group photo, commencement message, and valedictorian address as part of the event. Page 7
8 Lesson 1 - Prayer Matt. 6:5-9 Intro Discussion: Why should we pray? Module I: Leaders Devotions As the disciples saw Jesus pray, they saw intimate communication with God. Who wouldn t want to speak with God as Jesus did. The disciples urgently asked Jesus to teach them to pray. There is no record of them asking Him to teach them to preach, teach, or evangelize. They wanted to speak with God as Jesus did. Jesus gave them a model prayer, Our Father The disciples were devout men versed in the prayers of the Hebrews, but their experience with Jesus made them want to go deeper in their communication with God. Prayer is the means to an intimate relationship with God. note: failing to pray to the true and living God is just as futile as praying fervently to a false god. Almost everyone prays to some degree to some perceived god, but few find fulfillment, satisfaction or transformation. the problem: we often approach prayer as a means to get something good or avoid something bad, rather than to develop an intimate relationship with God. note: relationships require time. Our priorities are reflected by how we allocate time. Oswald Chambers observed, Prayer is the vital breath of Christians. Not the thing that makes us alive, but the evidence we are alive. What would happen if no one prayed? Would the world be different? Would events and circumstances be changed? Would the hearts of people be impacted? Our answers reflect our attitude about the effectiveness of prayer. In Judaism and Christianity, prayer is rooted in a biblical understanding of God as a personal being who hears and responds to His people. The earliest prayers in the Bible are intimate dialogues: Adam speaking with God in the Garden of Eden, Abraham surprised by God s promise that he would be the father of a great nation despite his advanced age, Moses called by God from the burning bush to lead God s people out of bondage in Egypt and responding with obedience. In the N.T. Jesus teaches us to pray not only did He observe the traditional custom of praying at the Temple, but His prayer is intimate communication with God. Subject: The invitation to pray Object: Intimate communication with God Outline: 1. God s invitation, 2. The example of Jesus, 3. Tips for praying 1. The invitation to pray: Theme - God has invited us to pray v. 9 In this manner therefore, pray He presumes we will pray, because we have been invited by God to pray. -3x proceeding four verses, Jesus declares, when not if, you pray [v.5,6,7]. note: prayer is a normal Christian attitude and behavior, not something reserved for prayer warriors. -Jesus emphasized prayer is all about intimate communication with God. He contrasts the prayers of the religious leaders and His model for prayer.v.5-6 Page 8
9 a. Pray for God s approval. Cf. prayers of religious leaders sought approval and recognition from men. 2. Prayer shall be rewarded: v.5 misthos e.g. wages, payment for service, ref physical, Re approval of men. v.6 apodidomi to give away, restore, ref spiritual Discussion: What are some of the benefits of prayer? Some rewards: if we pray per His will we receive our requests; life transforming intimate communication with God v. 8 Since the Father knows our needs before we ask, why do we need to ask? 5 Reasons 1. He is the source of blessing: by asking, we are reminded that He is the source of blessing. 2. We get to know the need as He does 3. Affirms our dependence. Acknowledges the father as God 4. God delights to hear His kids ask. E.g. earthly parents 5. We have been invited to pray. God wants intimate communication with us. a. access: veil [Matt.27:51] torn from top to bottom. One of the great mysteries of heaven is that men have been invited by God to pray and we neglect the invitation. b. Robt. Boy Munger, My Heart Christ s Home study time and prayer is not only for our growth, but to bless God, He wants to be with us. c. One of the great mysteries of heaven is that we have been invited by God to pray and we neglect the invitation. 2. The example of Jesus - Pray with intimacy and intensity Discussion: What have you learned about prayer from Jesus? -19x times in gospels we are told Jesus prayed. more than 25x in brief gospel record we see words pray and prayer assoc. with Jesus. What about Jesus prayers distinguished Him from Hebrew religious leaders who prayed? a. intimacy: contrast relationship vs. religion and ritual. Jesus prayers are fresh, not rote. He avoids vain repetitions [v.6-7]. Jesus prays as one who knows God intimately. b. intensity: Jesus prayers are passionate, zealous, expressions of a heart that cries out of God. Matt.21:13 Jesus cleanses the temple, My house shall be called a house of prayer. Purpose of the church is to be a house of prayer. Luke 22:44 In the garden of Gethsemane Jesus agonized in prayer until His sweat became like great drops of blood falling to the crowd. Jesus performed miracles without effort, but He agonized in prayer. Agony speaks of struggle, and He prayed fervently without ceasing, straining in His appeal. Hebrews 7:25 He always lives to make intercession for us. Jesus is in heaven 24/7 interceding for His Church. 3. Tips for prayer [practical pointers for prayer] a. schedule a time for prayer: e.g. a.m./p.m., lunch, cf. extend time b. set aside c. a place for prayer: when you pray go into your room Jesus went to a solitary place to pray. Have a place you associate with prayer. Page 9
10 d. verbalize prayer: Luke 11:2 when you pray, say God doesn t need to hear us speak, but for our benefit, cf. God knows need e. prayers can be simple: don t let someone else s eloquence be a standard f. expect God to speak: as well as listen to you [ e.g. Samuel, 1Sam 3] g. maintain a journal: list your requests, and God s responses h. just do it! Discussion: What are some practical tips you have learned about prayer? LIFEWORK Pray this week and write a 1-page [3 paragraphs] report what did you learn about: prayer, God, and self? Page 10
11 Lesson 2: Personal Bible Study Intro. Discussion: why should we study the Bible? 1. Reasons why leaders need to study the Bible: a. essential to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus [2Pet.3:18] b. essential for spiritual maturity [Heb.5:11-14] c. essential for spiritual effectiveness [2 Tim.3:16-17] 2.The example of Ezra: Ezra 7:10 For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the Law of the Lord, and do it, and to teach statutes and ordinances in Israel. a. study b. apply c. teach 3. The example of Joshua: Joshua 1:8 This book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. a. meditate: lit. chew [e.g. cud] b. do it: apply c. success: promised blessing 4. Keys to personal bible study: a. what is your objective [i.e. why are you reading the bible]? b. establish bible reading as a priority i. establish a schedule daily/regular ii. discipline > guard your bible study time against interruptions iii. consider a plan to study the OT and NT 5. Some helpful tools: a. study bibles: i. wide margins for notes ii. subheadings: can be helpful to find info but can bias reader iii. cross references iv. concordance v. topical index vi. binding, paper, quality vii. maps b. additional resources: i. bible dictionary ii. commentaries [e.g. Haley s bible handbook] iii. online study sites Page 11
12 6. How to study the Bible [overview] a. observation: what do I see? b. interpretation: what does it mean? c. application: how can I apply this to my life? LIFEWORK Read Joshua 1:1-9 and record only observations. Page 12
13 Lessons 3 & 4: Inductive Bible Study Method Scripture: Joshua 1:1-9 Subject: [what is the theme of the passage?] Objective: [how does God want His people to apply this passage?] note: perspective [forest v. trees, wide v. zoom angle] Lifework: lesson 3 observations & interpretation questions Lifework: lesson 4 interpretation & application observation interpretation application Teacher s note: lead the students through an inductive Bible study exercise using Josh 1:1-9 or any other text you choose. Consider having the students work in class as a group on the exercise Sample: Josh1:1 observation and interpretation after the death of Moses: how long after? Who is Moses? the servant of the Lord: if Moses is the leader why is he called, servant? It came to pass that the Lord spoke to Joshua: how did God speak? the son of Nun: who is Nun? Moses assistant: how did Joshua assist Moses? Page 13
14 Module II: Worship Lesson 5: Worship - Purpose and Person 1. Purpose: John 4:1-38 what is worship, and why should we worship? Worship is a life transformed by an intimate relationship with God. Worship is demonstrated in song, prayer, lifestyle, by individuals and an assembly, spontaneously and prearranged. Worship is the stirring by God s Spirit of our spirit, emotion and will. It is a response of the whole person to God. true worship is a life characterized by devotion and allegiance to God. the English word worship is derived from the Old English word worthship, a word reflecting the worthiness of one receiving honor and devotion. Fundamentally, worship is about God, and for God. Worship is what God desires, and what He is worthy of. Our motive is to please God and glorify Him. discussion: [v.23] what are some things that are not true worship? we go through life with a thirst that only God can satisfy. The relationship between this unquenchable thirst and the satisfaction of worshipping God, is seen in the account of Jesus interaction with a Samaritan woman at the well as recorded in Jn. 4 characteristics of true worship: a. satisfies: i. us: living water: satisfies -> no thirst; v.28 woman left pot content/satisifed ii. God: v.4 needed to go; v.23 God is seeking; v.32-4 satisfies Jesus the Greek term proskuneo, that we translate worship, can be defined as a kiss toward one in a token of reverence. True worship is a reverent kiss toward God. God desires, requires & is seeking that relationship. b. spiritual [23-4]: cf. emotion, intellect. Are we seeking to draw close to God? c. lifestyle [20-21]: worship is not limited to a particular site d. truth: [23-4] i. we need to know truth about God, ii. approach without hypocrisy e. sin [15-18]: sin is an obstacle to worship f. evangelism [35-38] [Mt.9-10] true worship attracts others to Jesus discussion: how can your culture be an obstacle to true worship? 2. Person: a. who God is: What are the attributes/characteristics of God that are worthy of worship? note: we become like what we worship [Psalm 115:3-8] discussion: how can your knowledge of God impact your worship of Him? b. who we are: i. relationship issue: Worship is always personal. The Father seeks worshippers, not worship. God never separates worship from the worshipper. Worship is based on a relationship, not a ritual. Page 14
15 ii. cloth issue: desire to worship is manifest in different personalities [the type of cloth that you are cut from]. Some are more demonstrative and they may seek to stand, kneel, weep, sing loudly, or raise their hands [see, 1Timothy 2:8, Psalm134:2]. Others may be more reserved in their expression of worship. iii. vacuum issue: Worship does not occur in a vacuum. We are real people, with real emotions, seeking to worship a real God. Circumstances impact our worship. Typically, it is much easier to praise God when you have just received a promotion than when you ve just lost your job. In both instances we cry out to God, but in a completely different way. The Psalms reveal human emotion expressed. David radiates with rejoicing in one song, and declares his despair in the next. Worshippers are not freeze dried, and then brought to the church so we can add water and worship. I believe it is a blessing to see a full range of emotion expressed in worship. It is good to worship God with the emotions that we are experiencing today. Accordingly, we see that our worship to God is impacted by who we are generally, as well as who we are at any particular time. LIFEWORK Make a list of 25 or more reasons why God is worthy of worship. Page 15
16 Lesson 6: Worship - Preparation 1. Preparation a. the need to prepare your heart [Gen.4:1-6] theme: not all worship is acceptable to God Cain: farmer - offered fruit of ground, Abel: rancher offered firstborn of his flock to God. The LORD received Abel and his offering, but did not respect Cain and his. Why? Either it was the wrong offering, or the right offering with the wrong heart, or possibly the wrong offering and the wrong heart. Even before the provisions of the Mosaic law, we discover that not all worship is acceptable to God. Perhaps it was the wrong offering, as the Mosaic system required the shedding of blood to provide a covering for sin; and the whole sacrificial system pointed to the ministry of Jesus. Since Abel offered an animal, and Cain offered produce, it might alert us that there was a problem with the offering. But, most likely it was the problem of the heart. Abel offered the firstborn of the flock, which shows that he was placing God in the place of priority, and giving God his best. God respected Abel and His offering, which shows that Abel offered with the right heart. For without faith it is impossible to please God [Hebrews 11:6]. Cain s heart was wrong, as shown by his response to God s correction. Cain was very angry and upset. God urged Cain that if he did well he would be accepted, but Cain refused, despite the urging and despite the warnings. And Cain continued to refuse God, and he acted out in his anger and he killed his brother. b. price of preparation theme: real worship requires sacrifice True worship comes with a price tag, the price of preparation. Warren Wiersbe asks, Am I willing to pay the price in my own home and church so that I might have a worship experience that will please God, and accomplish His purpose in my life? King David understood that worship involved sacrifice: 1 Chron.21:18-25 David had been guilty of self-reliance in numbering the people to determine the strength of his army, rather than relying upon God. God judged the nation for David s census, and David confessed his wrong to God and sought to intercede for the people. God restrained judgment, and instructed David to build an altar and worship. King David comes to Ornan and requests to buy the threshing floor at full price. Ornan graciously offers to give the property to the king along with his livestock and wheat as a sacrificial offering, and the wooden implements for the fire. The threshing floor was a valuable piece of property near the top of Mount Moriah. There, the warm winds would rise up the mountain, and the grain would be tossed up into the air and the winds would separate the chaff from the good grain. Yet, David declines the generous offer, and insists on paying full price. David says, I will not take what is yours for the Lord, nor offer burnt offerings with that which costs me nothing. David understood that true worship involves sacrifice, and he was willing to pay the price. Saying yes to God often requires us to say no to our own desires this is the price tag of preparation. Page 16
17 David s life reveals several shortcomings, but David is without doubt a true worshipper. remarkably, despite some horrific lapses, God consistently speaks of David in a favorable tone, because David was a man after God s own heart [1 Samuel13:14]. God recognizes the heart of a true worshiper, one that is willing to pay the price of preparation. So David was recognized as the Sweet psalmist of Israel [2 Samuel 23:1]. Many of the psalms in the Book of Psalms were penned by David; and are psalms of rejoicing, psalms of lament, psalms of confession, and psalms of adoration. These are the expressions that can be described as the dividends of paying the price of preparation. c. the benefits of preparation As David came to the threshing floor, he had merely been instructed to build an altar there. David had not been told that he needed to purchase the land. Yet, David desires to obtain the land and dedicate the property to God; and David desires to pay the price. David is not looking to make a sharp real estate investment, but he is investing in eternal things. The payment of the price of preparation will always pay tremendous dividends sometimes in ways that we don t anticipate. note: worship links us with present worshipers, past and future worshipers, and most importantly with Jesus Consider the significance of this threshing floor in the spiritual life of Israel. It was at the sight of the threshing floor that God restrained His punishment during David s lifetime. Furthermore, this site is located on the same ridge where Abraham ascended with Isaac to worship the Lord. Abraham demonstrated the depth of his love for God there [Genesis 22]. Abraham prepared to ascend that mountain with his son, and demonstrate his devotion to God even if it meant giving God his son. Yet Abraham s confidence and love for God are seen in his parting words to his servants. This is the first time that we see the term worship used in the Bible. God had promised descendants to Abraham through Isaac, and they had not yet been born. Abraham believed God s promise and was confident that he and Isaac would both return. Abraham realized that God did not want his son as a human sacrifice, as much as he wanted Abraham s heart as a better sacrifice of worship. Nevertheless, Abraham was prepared to pay the price to demonstrate his devotion with action. The threshing floor later became the location of the Temple [2 Chronicles 3:1], and became the center of worship of the Hebrew people. The ridge where the threshing floor was located would also later be the site where Jesus would be crucified. The principle is that David reaped tremendous dividends in ways that he could not have foreseen. The moral of the story is that if we are willing to pay the price of preparation there will be an abundant harvest of fruitful worship. discussion: what are some other benefits of paying the price of preparation? LIFEWORK Make a list of ways that you have made sacrifices to worship God in the last year. Describe how you would like to make sacrifices of your time, talent, and treasure in this coming season of your life. Page 17
18 Lesson 7: Worship Passion and Power 1. Passion: Matt. 26:6-13 There are two great passions in the universe: God s passion to be glorified and man s passion to be satisfied. However, these two do not need to be in conflict. They can come to simultaneous fulfillment in worship, because God is most glorified in me when I am most satisfied in Him alone. [John Piper] there are typically 3 attitudes in response to God: wrath, worship waste a. wrath: Mt.26:1-5, religious leaders, hostile opposition to Jesus b. worship: Matt. 26:6-13, Mary, the sister of Lazarus and Martha. In considering Mary s anointing of Jesus in preparation for His burial we discover six keys to passionate worship: i. ministers to Jesus: In verse 10, Jesus observed that what Mary had done was a good work for Him. Passionate worship always seeks to minister to the Lord [Acts 13:2 ] ii. involves voluntary costly sacrifice: Jn.12:3 - very costly; Jn.12:5-300 denarii [a typical worker s annual salary]. Mary poured out the costly oil as a sacrifice to Jesus. She volunteered to worship Jesus without having to be compelled, because she loved her Lord. Similarly, we saw how David made a costly voluntary sacrifice to purchase the threshing floor of Araunah [2Sam. 24]. iii. requires breaking: Passionate worship involves breaking. Mary had to break the alabaster flask to pour out the costly oil [Mk.12:3]. Similarly, the Holy Spirit that God imparts to believers cannot pour out until we humble ourselves and break before Him. iv. is extravagant: As Mary poured out the costly oil she was extravagant in her worship. Mk.12:3 anointed head, Jn.12:3 anointed feet and wiped His feet with her hair [i.e. head to toe]. Passionate worshippers delight to be extravagant. King David displayed extravagant worship when the ark was being transported to Jerusalem. David danced before the Lord with all his might. The Scriptures tell us that David was dancing in a linen ephod. Essentially, David was dancing in his undergarments [see, 2Samuel 6:14]. v. gives our best: Mary gave Jesus her very best. The costly oil was precious, and Mary was saving it for herself, probably for her wedding day. vi. fills the house with fragrance: John tells us that the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil [Jn.12:3]. Not only did the perfumed oil provide the pleasant aroma, but it also removed unpleasant odors. Finally, the same aroma that was upon Jesus was upon Mary true worship! c. waste: the attitude of indifference [Judas and the disciples] the attitude that assumes worship is a waste quenches the God-given passion to worship Him. note: worship/sacrifice to God is never waste! i. contagious: worship in community is contagious whether passionate or quenching. Unfortunately, the cry from Judas [Jn.12:4], that Mary s worship was waste, was contagious. Soon other disciples echoed in agreement [v.8]. how do we know if our attitude is passionate or waste? [3 tests] Page 18
19 ii. combustion: disciples on the road to Emmaus, Luke 24:13-35 hearts burned as they heard Jesus teach and understood His words. A fire in the physical realm needs three elements for combustion: heat, oxygen, fuel. Heat= believing hearts, oxygen= work of HS, fuel=word iii. consumption: Passionate worship is demonstrated when zeal for God eats us up. John 2:13-18 cleansing of the Temple Charles Wesley wrote over six thousand praise songs or hymns in a period of approximately fifty years. As he approached the first anniversary of his faith he wrote, O for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer s praise. Wesley was not looking for a thousand people to praise God rather he wanted a thousand tongues of his own to praise God. This is a picture of consuming worship. iv. compulsion: Sometimes we are so moved in our lives that we are compelled to respond despite a natural desire to restrain ourselves. 2. Power 2Tim.3:1-5 a. the problem: spirituality without worship of God In Paul s second letter to Timothy, a young pastor, he warned that in the days before Jesus return there would be troubled times and troubled people. Paul explained that one of the characteristics of the times would be that people would have a form of godliness but deny its power [see, 2 Timothy 3:5]. In other words, there would be spiritual people believing in many different philosophies, as well as professing Christians, who lack the power for godliness. Often people go through the motions of going to church and singing, but in effect they are playing church. Instead of appropriating the power of God they are willing to accept a counterfeit. b. what s the power? The power for godliness is made available to us through the Holy Spirit of God. Without the Spirit there is nothing pleasing to God and there is no power. The power of God is manifest in worship by the Spirit of God. The power is made available to please God, defeat the enemy, and deliver God s people. In places of worship throughout the world today there are worshippers with power, and there are unfortunately people with a form of godliness but lacking the power. Similarly, in churches throughout the world today there are congregations of people who worship God in power and some that lack the power. People can come to church and sing songs during a church worship service, but never experience the power of God in worship. c. is it real or a counterfeit? Page 19
20 On the other hand, when the power of God is manifest, there is an awareness of entering the presence of God, and lives are changed. The resulting fruit is Christ-like character, or godliness [see, Galatians 5:22-23]. Transformed lives reveal the power. d. the problem of counterfeits: Paul warned Timothy that the people who had a form of godliness, but denied its power, resisted or opposed the truth as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses. Who are Jannes and Jambres, and how did they resist Moses? And what does their opposition have to do with the power of God and worship? Jannes and Jambres are presumed to be magicians of Pharaoh s court at the time of the Exodus. In Exodus 5:1we read that Moses and his brother Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, Thus says the LORD God of Israel: Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness. note: God wanted His people to be free to worship Him. Pharaoh solicited his magicians to oppose God, and keep the Hebrews in bondage. As Moses and Aaron spoke to Pharaoh, Aaron threw down his rod and it turned into a serpent. When Pharaoh s magicians appeared to demonstrate equal power and their rods turned into serpents, Aaron s rod swallowed up the magicians rods. Then the power of God was manifest as the plagues were visited upon Egypt. As the plagues of blood and frogs were manifest, Pharaoh s magicians seemed to duplicate this power. But when the plague of lice and the remaining plagues were poured out, the magicians were unable to demonstrate/ imitate the power. God s power was manifest, the enemy was defeated, and God s people were delivered and set free to worship Him. How did the magicians seem to duplicate the power of God? Either they were simply magicians tricks or they were displaying demonic power. In either scenario, the key principle is that the opposition to the power of God was to produce a counterfeit or imitation of the power of God. The enemy of men s souls continues to oppose worship of God by offering a counterfeit or imitation that appears to be real but lacks the power of God. for example, people can be moved by emotion at a ballgame, concert, or at church it may not e the power of God. Emotions can t produce life transformation apart from the power of God. Nevertheless, in the Exodus, God s power was manifest and ultimately was clearly distinguishable from the imitation. Similarly, Paul encouraged Timothy that as the magicians imitation was exposed, so too the form of godliness that lacked the true power of God would be manifest [2 Tim.3:1-9]. Ultimately, power is distinguished form the counterfeit. LIFEWORK Make a list of ways that you have experienced change/transformation in your spiritual life in the last year. Page 20

is it still open?
yes and yes ;-)
Still open and from my view still one of the top recommendations in Pudong district, so as long as you are not willing to come over to Puxi (where they are much more choices), than check out this sauna.
Is this place still open and is still good recommendation?
First sauna experience last week. Picked 569, petite, from Hunan, nicely proportioned. English reasonable so communication was not a problem. Agreed that she could bring in her "assistant" too.
Didn't get her number but of similar build.
Overall, great GFE, but much of the action was somewhat clinical.
Total damage 1400, for 2 girls which is less than one massage shop in JingQiao tried (and failed) to charge for a happy ending a few weeks ago.
1st of all a shout out to Steven and his Team, I ended up chatting with him online. Laid out my plans, and without hesitation he gave me some constructive thoughts. Great resource and I urge anyone
to contribute however they can.
My first ever sauna experience. Peabody (Bodhi) Sauna was super easy to find. Unmarked entrance, within the compound but well to the left of the Bodhi Boutique Hotel entrance. Change into bathrobe almost immediately upon entering and then escorted to a personal lounge waiting room. Waited maybe 5 minutes, maybe... and then taken to a lineup (one other guy was choosing, i was there at 7:30 at it was pretty deserted, action going on but not a ton of people. When I left at 8:45 there were a TON more guys (highly recommend you try the 6-7:30pm dinner slowtime if possible)). I'd guess 35 girls, great variety, Tall, Skinny, Short, plump, one petite, I mean petite!@! really caught my eye, but was just too small for my first experience. Plenty of girls smiling, eye contact, but just as many eyes down. Very pleased with selection, didn't really see any 11s but plenty of sexy girls of all types. Picked 651 even though no eye contact, what I wanted, skinny, smaller up top, but really tight body. Selected the girl and walked around the corner of the hallway, waited 2 minutes for her to emerge. Any worries she was going to be a bust disappeared as soon as she came out the side door, smiling, eye contact, took my arm, really welcoming.
Took me to wetroom/dryroom. Bed on one side, "leather" bed in wet shower room. Did some prep work, but got me naked in the shower room. Nuru was interesting, it was hot, rubbed all of her business all over me. Didn't really get me rock hard, but was really nice. Chatted in beginner Chinese a little. 20-25 Minutes in the wetroom, Didn't get to try the cutout chair... Next time... But I was Clean... Really Clean.
Then to the bed. Fire/Ice bubbling tricks... (nice, something my wife would never do, but wasn't my thing.) She did kiss and use her teeth on my calves and thighs that was a nice thrill. Got down to business when I flipped over and was pleasantly surprised how much touching she allowed, but she was admit that we couldn't 69 or go down on her. I brought it up 3 times and then let it go.
Kinda running out of time ( i didn't mind that each step was taken in its own time, wasn't in a rush) so instead of finishing with BBBJ she covered me and invited me to missionary, very hot. Instigated some doggie when I was starting to get close and then back to Missionary with legs in the air to finish. Don't believe it was real, but she moved, moaned and talked like she was right there with me. She washed me up in shower when done.
Paid 900. Mentioned that I had seen 780 online and they immediately said no, old prices. Didn't force the issue. They called me a cab and was on my way. Will definitely go back. Enjoyed myself, feel equipped now to say i can do with less bubbly back kisses and want an oral pop early with the hopes of another pop before the 1 hour is up.
Definitely plenty of girls, but was really happy with my #651 choice. Took my Chinese fumbling in stride, was pretty proficient with her routine, but made sure I was enjoying myself.
I almost skipped Bodhi/Peabody Sauna cause there weren't many comments. Steven told me to try it and I did. I'm writing this lengthy review so others don't pass it by. Its in PuDong, its nice, and i'm sure other Sauna's have hotter girls, but I didn't miss them for a second.
Is the place closed?
Last time I went there was a sign that said closed for rennovation.
The Sauna is not finally closed, but these days no sauna open for customers because of the "yellow alert" in preperation for the official goverment meeting on 21th this month.
Friday,09 June 2014
Tried to find the Peabody Sauna but no luck. I found the Boti Hotel but no indication of where the sauna is. Any hints, and yes I am a paid member.
Yeah, I imagine just about anyone would be terrified of a 75 inch cock. I mean you're coming at them with something larger than most people... that's gotta hurt.
Just been there, service is good and nice place but at night time is not ideal cz a lot of ppl there!! better to go on day time and it's closed to the hotel!! plus there are parking lot there if you be there by drive it's also ok
I have been there several times in the past and was always treated very well inspite of my size (192 cm) which might scare some of the girls. They never told me to go away and the girls in the lineup were always friendly. I never asked for a menu though. All I did was just follow the directions of the attendants at the door. I never saw a menu nor was there any talk about price beforehand.
@ admin...yeah i think it was a little too early,but i am pretty sure that they where definately avoiding westerner, as they where quite rude in asking me to go away...of course i didn't pay anything and i think that my mistake was to ask if they had a "massage menu" in english as the only thing i could understand in the chinese one was the 880 RMB on top, identified by the mamasan as a special massage...anyway i will be in shanghai next week and will try some other addresses..
Hi admin, Thanks fot your help, it was my mistake. by the way , many thanks for your soon reply,
And about vip-area , I already submit the form and send an email as well, but no reply.
Hi Srs, I think you did not check our vip-Area. The sauna don`t belong to the hotel, only nearby, so this is why it is named like that. So the sauna is not closed and also they did not fooled you. I only think they where not very helpfull, because they should have known the sauna.
I just come back from the Peabody hotel, the reception told me that there is no sauna in the hotel, do they cloed the suana or just fooled me?
@ big_caesar: better don`t show up before 3 pm, because a lot of girls start to work that time. Could be they had not enough girls willing to play with a "big_ceasar didi" that time? Otherwise no idea what was the problem, because they definitly serve western customers.
I was there today after some shopping at ya tai market, around 1 pm. After 1 hour of hold they told me to go away as the ladies where not there and didn't know what time the all thing was
starting. I think they don't want any western there as i was the only customer not chinese-japanese...
Next week i'll try at Fountain Head Sauna, mabe i'll be lucky enough to enjoy my first nuru massage...
@Behite: great that you enjoyed the place. We also thing, a second girl very often not worth the money. You will (nearly) never get any girl to girl action, so the girls only "share" the job, so one is lazy waiting while the other girl is working. You will find out, the "upselling" to two girls depends on the time. If they are very busy, they will never do it, because they need the girls. Only when the business is quiet, they will act like this.
Very great place! I went there yesterday 7 aug. 2012
Got 2 girls for 1380 yuans, i wanted one at first but they knew how to make me change my mind. Girls are really pretty, really nice, and make really good service. They start with soap massage, until you blow, then classic massage, and after you can fuck them again. The good thing is that you can stay until you have finished, and as i am a bit long to cum, the whole service was about 90mn without more charge (instead of 60mn). But even if i liked it, if i come back, i would only pick one girl, i think it is enough and you can get more close to her, and it is even cheaper ;)
Great service there - even went out to dinner with one of the girls on her off-night. A real sweetheart. Highly recommend the "two-girls-at-one-time" dealio - man, will they work you over. Talk about enthusiasm - they both gave me their phone numbers afterwards. They apparently couldn't get enough of me.
Hi guys, does anyone knows if in Peabody they do Ice & Fire Bj, with hot and cold water?
I was couple of weeks ago in Peabody, the service was much better then in Koyo, maybe becuase in Koyo it was already over midnight.
Dont think all the girls are barbies, most of them are friendly and it is a advantage when you can talk some chinese, the service they give you was very good, BJ and there touch on your body are magnificant, they also offer a second girls, what also has a nice experience, but you can't choice the second one, think it is the friend of the girl you with.
I will say go for it, you will enjoy
Had a good session with 559 last week. Tall girl, sexy body, service also ok. She told me, if you ask for her at the reception, she will get some benefit. Perhaps than she will be more motivated for the session?
hmm, sounds not good. I can´t speak chinese. but i want to have special service anyway. as i know, there is no red rope service at Peabody sauna???
well, it was a very clean and professional place. The service was normal 60min standart, for the price in my mind to less. if you cant speak Chinese it will be hard for you to comunicate with the lady like everywhere and to get special service as well.( red rope etc)
big ben, thank you for the information.
how was the serive? maybe you could explain a litle...
I went there today and it was open and fucking full, needed to wait there one hour before going to the fishbowl with aroun 15-20girls, all between 4/10-7/10, nothing really wow, but maybe best u can find at the moment! 880RM for 60minutes is also quite high and no discount in afternoons (early bird discount)
I heard that the Peabody is closed due to renovation work at the moment. Is this true?
went back to normal business now.
seems at the moment there is a rumor about a upcoming raid, so most sauna locations are very carefull. at least this night Koyo and Dream Water Palace still operating, but also can change every day.
Seems like all places closed
at the moment a lot of the massage Sauna clubs are afraid about getting a raid. normaly they still "serve", but not every customer. at least Surf Club seems to work (even with no advertisment outside). but over all no reason to be unhappy, because if they don`t let you in, it could be because they will know about a upcoming raid, so it should reduce your chance to get trouble in the raid ;-)
No massage today was I told when I showed up. Disapointing
Had a very nice session with 568.
This was my first time in this kind of place.
I went into the selection process ;-) and it was a little bit embarrassing. Between 25 to 30 girls, in a big room, together with some other customers. The place is really clean and all staff very professional.
I went there at 8PM.
I loved the cleaning and body massage with this little naughty girl. She did things with her tong and the rest of her body, that I'll remember.
I got the full service and more and came into her pussy. I'll come back soon...
Still my favorite place, if I want to be sure to get what I am looking for!
Had a great session with #516. if you like deepthroat, than ask for her!
Still one of the best parlors you can find here! Fantastic service for a very reasonable price! The girls change from time to time, so every visit you have no hotties there!
Had a very nice experience at Peabody yesterday afternoon. Very large lineup of girls, clean, good service. Well worth a visit. Will definately come back.
as long as you "keep in time", you can come as often as you like. only time limit. but very often the girls hope after you finished first time, they don`t have to work again. but if you like, they have to.
Im also interested in knowing wether ur allowed to cum twice
During 60min, how many shots would be accepted? If the girl finishes by BJ, may I have another FS?
the session should be only one hour, no 90 minutes sessions any more.
Could you guys please tell me how long is the Full service? 1 hour? 90 minutes?
Went yesterday Friday afternoon about 4pm. Good place friendly service from when you enter and they spoke a small amounts of English. Line-up was amazing with over 30 girls all stunning. Price has however gone up to 880 RMB but I think it is worth it as place is setup well.
Have been to this place last week. Nice place with a good line-up. The staff and the girls are very friendly. Price is 800 RMB
Prices are out of date. It's 800 RMB, with no early-bird discount, and I believe they are due to go up next month. Very clean, new, comfortable facilties. Line-up is amazing with 30+ beautiful girls. Highly recommended.

Mises Wire
What Glitters in India?
A perennial among the nostrums of statist "economists" is complaining about the populace's penchant for buying and holding precious metals, notably gold. The French used to be mentioned frequently in this vein. FDR, of course, just made it illegal for Americans to own gold bullion or coin after 1933.
So it's tiresome and worrisome to see the Christian Science Monitor chiming in with an actual FIGURE for what percentage of economic growth the Indian economy loses each year to the ownership of gold and other such reliable stores of value. Not addressed is the possibility that, if forced to invest money they spend on gold, Indians might choose to invest outside India (that is, as long as they are allowed to do THAT).
Of course, from a different viewpoint, one might ascribe the same or even a greater shortfall of economic growth to the combined effects of the government's suppression of a medium of exchange whose long-term value people could rationally place some faith in, and its oppressive, not to say corrupt, regulation of its financial markets generally. One wonders just what Diana Farrell (quoted in the article) has in mind when she mentions "serious financial reform."
I think we can be pretty sure she has nothing in mind resembling what any Austrian would.

I acquired a free-to-download indicator for MT4 with no src code and no instructions on how to work with it in mql4 and I want to work with its output values in my EA. Although I can see the extern value types from the input tab when I drag it onto a chart, I do not know what the indicator returns.
I suspect that the indicator - which writes Daily, Weekly and Monthly pivot lines on a chart returns three arrays, one value for each period, but I've played around with it and I cannot discover what datatype to assign to the output of the iCustom call.
Obviously the terminal works OK with it, so there is something in the Terminal which knows automatically what types the indicator returns and how to render the lines from the values it spits out but how do I find out?

Bankruptcy Appellate Panel Affirms Relief from Automatic Stay for Payment of Director's Defense Costs
The Bankruptcy Appellate Panel of the Ninth Circuit has affirmed the bankruptcy court's grant of a motion by a debtor's sole director to modify the automatic stay to allow payment of defense costs under the A-side coverage of the debtor's directors and officers liability insurance policy. In re MILA, Inc., 2010 WL 455328 (B.A.P. 9th Cir. Jan. 29, 2010). The panel reasoned that, assuming that the proceeds of the policy were property of the estate, it was proper for the bankruptcy court to balance the harm to the debtor if the stay were modified with the harm to directors and officers if they were prevented from executing their rights to defense costs.
Here, the panel bankruptcy court had rejected the chapter 11 trustee's argument that payment of defense costs under the policy's A-side coverage might exhaust B-side policy limits, potentially jeopardizing the estate's right to be indemnified. Because the insured director was likely to be the only director or officer to receive payments, the bankruptcy court found the possibility that exhaustion would leave insufficient proceeds to pay claims for which the estate might seek B-side coverage to be remote. The panel held that the bankruptcy court's conclusion was not clearly erroneous. The panel stated further that courts consider whether a debtor's indemnification claims under the B-side coverage are "real and actual, or whether the likelihood of any such claims are hypothetical or speculative." Here, the director had not asked the debtor for payments, and the debtor had not made and is unlikely to make any indemnification payments to the director. Neither could the chapter 11 trustee point to anything in the record to support its assertion that other officers may be "out there" with potential indemnification claims. Accordingly, the panel held that the bankruptcy court did not abuse its discretion in granting the insured director relief from the automatic stay.

Obama: Minutes after President Obama finished his birth certificate press conference, White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer tweeted out: "Hope everyone saw POTUS talk about how sideshows are distracting us from the real issues we need to confront as a nation." To which ABC News' Jake Tapper responded: "I did, and now instead of doing a story about Panetta/Petreaus, I'll be covering the birther nonsense! wait, what?"
The White House could have chosen any day to release Obama's birth certificate. It would have been perfect for one of their patented Friday news dumps. Instead, they chose the exact same day news broke about the largest national security shakeup of the Obama administration. Gen. David Petraeus to head up the CIA and Leon Panetta will be named Secretary of Defense. Absent the birther dump, the White House would have been fielding question's about what these moves mean for the wars in Afghanistan and Libya, as well as for defense spending. Instead, Obama got to wag his finger and escape Washington without any questions so he could go hang out with Oprah.
The Fed: Foreign policy is not the only issue Obama managed to kick off the front page today. In the Federal Reserve Chairman's first ever press conference, Ben Bernanke said the Obama recovery was continuing to "moderate" and that "unemployment will remain elevated" for some time.
The American people already knew this though. Gallup reports that more than half of Americans (55%) describe the U.S. economy as being in a recession or depression. And McClatchy reports that 57% of registered voters disapprove of Obama's economic management, while only 40 percent approved, the lowest score of his presidency.
Daniels: The Indiana House of Representatives approved an anti-abortion bill last night, thus forcing Gov. Mitch Daniels to make a decision, which could reveal his White House intentions. The most important part of the bill cuts off funding for Planned Parenthood, a provision which, could open the door for the Obama HHS to cut off Medicaid funds to Indiana entirely. The bill provides Daniels with a golden opportunity to clarify the meaning of his "truce" on social issues comment. Daniels has said that abortion shouldn't "get in the way of the really crucial" objectives he had for Indiana. He has also told Laura Ingraham that "ours has been without question the most pro-life administration in our state's history." And when he walked back his original truce comments, he cast abortion in a fiscal light, telling Michaerl Gerson that promoting abortion with international family planning funds is one of "a thousand things we shouldn't be spending money on." Now we will see if that same fiscal reasoning applies to Planned Parenthood as well.
The imploding liberal welfare states: Yesterday, Massachusetts became the latest state to restrict government union collective bargaining rights as part of an effort to control spending. The state house approved a measure that would strip police officers, teachers, and other municipal employees of most of their leverage to bargain over health care. Meanwhile in Los Angeles, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa ordered his managers to impose furloughs on 6,300 government union workers who voted against a plan to cut that city's budget. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is looking more prophetic everyday.

The motor and transmission are both very strong with no issues
