Blong Kworom blong Olgeta Twelef Aposol.

Nomata long ol nogud jalenj we yumi gat long laef, yumi mas mekem taem blong oltaem, praktisim strong fet blong yumi.

Taem Adam mo Iv, tufala i bin stap long Garen blong Iden, evri samting we tufala i nidim blong evri dei, tufala i kasem fulwan. Tufala i no bin gat ol hadtaem, ol jalenj, o harem nogud. From tufala i neva bin fesem ol hadtaem, tufala i no bin save se tufala i save stap hapi. Tufala i neva filim ol samting i muvmuv olbaot, mekem se tufala i no bin save filim pis.

Afta, Adam mo Iv tufala i brekem komanmen ia blong no kakae frut blong tri blong save gud mo nogud. From se tufala i mekem hemia, tufala i nomo stap long wan ples we i klin mo gud. Tufala i stat blong eksperiensem ol prinsipol blong fasin blong go agens. Tufala i stat blong kasem sik we i mekem tufala i nomo helti mo nomo strong. Tufala i stat blong filim sore mo filim glad tu.

Tru long Adam mo Iv we tufala i bin tekem frut we i no blong kakae, save blong gud mo nogud i bin kam long wol. Joes blong tufala i mekem se wanwan long yumi i save kam long wol blong Lod i traem mo testem yumi.¹ Lod i bin blesem yumi wetem fridom blong mekem joes we i givim raet ia blong yumi mekem ol desisen mo blong ansa long ol desisen blong yumi. Foldaon ia i mekem se yumi save gat tugeta filing ia blong filim hapi mo filim sore long ol laef blong yumi. Yumi save kam blong andastanem pis from yumi filim ol samting i muvmuv olbaot.²

Papa blong yumi long Heven i save se hemia bae i hapen long yumi. Evri samting ia, i pat long plan blong Hem we i stret gud evriwan. Hem i mekem rere wan wei tru long laef blong Pikinini blong Hem, Jisas Kraes, Sevya blong yumi, we i obei fulwan long hem, blong Atonmen blong Hem i winim evri hat taem we yumi save gotru long hem long laef long wol ia.

Yumi laef long ol taem blong oli traem yumi. Mi no nidim blong listim evri ples we ivel i kamaot long hem long wol. I no nid blong listim ol jalenj mo ol harem nogud we i no kam long ivel, be long wan Papa long Heven we i gat lav, we i stap blesem yumi taem Hem i givim long yumi janis blong kasem jalenj mo gro. Wanwan long yumi i save gud long ol hadtaem blong yumiwan wetem soa mo harem nogud.

Lod i bin tijim yumi long laef bifo laef long wol ia, se stamba tingting blong yumi blong kam long wol ia, i blong kasem tes, oli traem yumi, mo kasem jalenj.³ Yumi save se bae yumi fesem ol spia blong ivel. Samtaem yumi save moa long ol nogud samting blong wol ia bitim ol gud samting. Profet Lihae i tijim, “From i mas nid i stap, se i mas gat wan fasin blong go agens long evri samting.”⁴ Nomata long ol nogud jalenj we yumi gat long laef, yumi mas mekem taem blong oltaem, praktisim strong fet blong yumi. Kaen praktis ia, i invaetem ol gud samting we i fulap long fet mo paoa blong Atonmen blong Jisas Kraes i kam insaed long laef blong yumi.

Papa blong yumi long Heven i bin givim ol tul blong helpem yumi kam long Kraes mo praktisim fet long Atonmen blong Hem. Taem ol tul ia oli kam stamba fasin blong yumi, oli givim wan isi wei blong faenem pis long ol jalenj long laef long wol ia. Tete mi bin jusum blong tokbaot fo long olgeta tul ia. Taem mi stap toktok, tingting long olsem wanem, yu stap yusum wanwan long ol tul ia, mo afta lukaotem help long Lod blong luksave olsem wanem yu save yusum gud moa wanwan long olgeta.

Hem i intres long moa impotem samting, mo tu, ol samting we i stap hapen oltaem long laef blong yu. Serem wetem Hem evri kaen filing mo eksperiens blong yu.

Ol pikinini oli kasem evri dei, ol atak blong ivel blong hanggri from samting we i no blong olgeta, hae tingting, mo plante nara fasin blong sin. Protektem ol pikinini long ol nogud samting blong wol taem yumi mekem oli kam strong wetem bigfala blesing we i risal blong stap gat famle prea. Famle prea i mas stap olsem wan fas samting long evri dei laef blong yumi.

Stadi long Ol Skripja

Nambatu tul, i blong stadi long ol toktok blong God insaed long ol skripja mo ol toktok blong profet we i laef. Yumi toktok long God tru long prea.

Blong save se voes blong Hem we I Tabu, i saon mo i filim olsem wanem, ridim ol toktok blong Hem, stadi long ol skripja mo tingting hevi long olgeta.⁵ Mekem i kam wan impotem pat blong evri dei laef blong yu. Sapos yu wantem ol pikinini blong yu oli luksave, andastanem, mo tekem aksen folem voes blong Spirit, yu mas stadi long olgeta skripja wetem olgeta.

Yu no mas mekem folem giaman blong Setan se yu no gat taem blong stadi long ol skripja. Jusum blong tekem taem blong stadi long olgeta. Kakae ol toktok blong God evri dei i moa impoten bitim silip, skul, wok, televisen, ol vidio gem, o sosol media. Ating bae yu nidim blong putum gud bakegen wanem yu nidim blong mekem fastaem, blong yu save givim taem blong stadi long toktok blong God. Sapos i olsem, !mekem!

I gat plante promes blong ol profet long saed blong ol blesing blong stadi long ol skripja evri dei.⁶

Mi ademap voes blong mi wetem promes ia: taem yu givim taem evri dei, blong yuwan mo wetem famle blong yu, blong stadi long toktok blong God, pis bae i stap long laef blong yu. Pis ia bae i no save kam long wol. Pis bae i kam long insaed long hom, insaed long famle, insaed long hat blong yuwan i go aot. Bae i wan presen blong Spirit.

Tingbaot taem Adam mo Iv i bin stap long garen, oli bin fri long ol jalenj, yet oli no bin save wanem i hapines, glad mo pis.⁷ Ol jalenj oli impoten pat long laef long wol ia. Tru long evri dei skripja stadi, bae yu faenem pis long ol konfusen we i stap raon long yu mo gat paoa blong stanap agensem temtesen. Bae yu bildimap wan strong fet long fasin blong gladhat blong God mo save se tru long Atonmen blong Jisas Kraes evri man bae i kam stret folem taem blong God.

Taem yu stap wok blong mekem famle blong yu i kam strong mo mekem pis i gro, tingbaot nambatri tul ia: famle haos naet evri wik. Lukaot blong no mekem famle haos naet blong yu i no wan las minit samting afta long wan bisi dei. Disaed se long Mandei naet, famle blong yu bae i stap tugeta long haos blong naet ia. No mas letem ol tingting blong wok, ol spot, ol nara aktiviti, homwok o eni nara samting i kam moa impoten bitim taem ia blong spendem tugeta long hom wetem famle blong yu.

Wanem we bae i hapen long naet blong yu i no impoten tumas bitim taem we yu stap spendem. Oli mas tijim gospel tru long wan stadi o tru long wan aktiviti. Mekem i wan eksperiens we i gat mining blong wanwan memba blong famle.

Oli ol tru praktis we i tekemaot taed, givim daereksen long laef blong yumi, mo ademap proteksen long ol haos blong yumi.”⁸ Sista Rivs i wan waes woman.

Sapos yu nogat wan tempol rekomen, mekem yuwan i rere blong kasem wan. Taem yu gat wan rekomen, yusum oltaem.⁹ Putum wan taem blong stap insaed long tempol. No letem eniwan o eni samting i stopem yu blong stap longwe.

Taem yu stap insaed long tempol, lisin long ol toktok blong ol odinens, tingting hevi long olgeta, prea abaot olgeta mo lukaotem blong andastanem mining blong olgeta. Tempol i wan long ol top ples blong kam blong andastanem paoa blong Atonmen blong Jisas Kraes. Lukaotem Hem long tempol. Tingbaot se plante moa blesing oli kam taem yu stap putum nem blong famle blong yumi insaed long tempol.

Olgeta fofala tul ia, oli ol stamba fasin blong sevem laef blong yu wetem paoa blong Atonmen blong Jisas Kraes. Tingbaot Sevya i Prins blong Pis. Pis long laef ia i kam long sakrifaes blong Hem we i pem praes from sin. Taem yu stap prea oltaem, moning mo naet, stadi long skripja blong yumi evri dei, gat famle haos naet evri wik, mo go long tempol oltaem, yumi stap ansa long invitesen blong Hem blong “kam long Hem.” Moa yumi developem olgeta fasin ia blong mekem oltaem, moa Setan i wantem blong mekem yumi harem nogud, be hem i no gat inaf paoa blong mekem. Taem yumi yusum olgeta tul ia, yumi praktisim fridom blong joes blong yumi blong akseptem ful presen blong sakrifaes blong Hem we i pem praes from sin.
