Christian pamphlets, etc. part 7

You should be able to click on each picture, or open it in a new tab, to read it better, but please let me know if that doesn't work.

First, a list of colors associated with Jesus and the disciples, and the ways they died. Let these remind us how much the cost of discipleship is. We live in a wicked world that will resist our efforts, even if those efforts are genuinely based in Christ, or based in a simple desire to help and care for others. Not every Christian will face the death penalty for their faith and their actions, but almost every one of us, if not possibly every single one, WILL face resistance in this world, and that resistance will sometimes be unduly harsh.

Next, another booklet about Lent. The booklet arrived in the mail from a church I used to belong to, and the adhesive from the envelope stuck to the front of the booklet. Excuse that. It's supposed to say, "Preparation, Prayer & Daily Action for Teens and Young Adults".

There are a few typos that are noted:
page 5:
"[. . .] love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord."

page 7:
"[. . .] tell that person why you are glad to visit."

 

 

 
page 28:
"[. . .] better way to get what you want; how about offering"

Christian pamphlets, etc. part 6

Oddly, it's copyrighted this year, but I don't remember where I got it from. Anyway, I should note, I don't agree with every single thing written here. For example, I sometimes worry about literature that discourages "judgment" too much. I fear that if we don't judge at all, then we won't be able to discern goodness from wickedness. Overall, though, this contains a lot of important things worth considering in daily life, and has given me some pause in my own life. Even though it's focused on Lent and I'm posting this during autumn, it still contains a lot of valuable "living water". You should be able to click on each one, or open it in a new tab, to read it better, but please let me know if that doesn't work.
(edit: typo)

 

Christian pamphlets, etc. part 5

A church's address was stamped on the front, so I covered that up.

To the booklet below, I would just add the following:
The world is not the same place it was in 1989 (when this was published). This booklet mentions church a lot. Many churches today preach propaganda instead of the actual word of God. Usually political in nature, but many also teach spiritual heresies. If I put faith in the Christians of today, rather than Christ Himself, I would have fallen away. And I almost did, because of them. If you bring your child or teenager to a church, be certain that the church is dedicated to Christ first and foremost, and not to heresy or to political speeches weaponizing your faith for profit. Satan masquerades as an angel of light.

"About Faith and Your Child (from 6 to 12 Years Old)"
by "Channing L. Bete Co., Inc"

Christian pamphlets, etc. part 4

From a group called "Pocket Testament League". I don't know anything about them, but their theology seems fine.
As always, click on each picture, or open it in a new tab, to read in larger resolution.

May God bless and guide you according to His perfect will! In Jesus' name. Amen.

  

After this, the book of John (KJV translation) is written. I didn't bother scanning it;
you can read it starting from the beginning [here] or [here].
