Hi, Welcome to our club!

Please scroll to the bottom for the update

Feel free to note me for a Join, and if you have any submissions I'll get them posted as soon as I can :3

Any and all Christians are welcome here- and of course friends who are not of the same faith! This is deffinantly an all around Christian club! I would just as soon affiliate with Baptists, catholics, adventists, Protestants, any Christian clubs, and even non-Christian if they are so inclined (so long as they were not in opposition to Christians, or have come to degrade or be cruel toward them)

I'd like for all of God's children, in their many different understandings and beliefs to be able to talk, not debate, and be able to learn from each other, about one another, and study if they like. Also, to enjoy each other's artistic gifts. A place where people can enjoy art work of good subject matter, as opposed to alot of the evil you see in day to day life.
I wanted a place where people could have a more indepth study together. Alot of public groupings of christians seemed a bit vague. They mostly talked about their love, which is wonderful, but not really the word-- which is very important to God.

PRAYER WARRIOR

Please read this. I'm really desperate to get help for my friend. Most of this may sound very strange or disturbing, but I have to get help for this person.

This is what's been happening:

One of my best friends on DA has had some really bad things going on through his entire life. It says in the Bible that demons are real, but I never thought I'd talk to one... twice.

I've been IMing him on Yahoo for quite a while now and we usually have a great time. We even talk about God and what he does for us. But, at one time, just out of no where he started cursing me and cursing me. (I will leave those details out, for they are very disturbing... to me, at least, to see my friend do that to me.) I called on the name of God and he came back to life, so to speak.

A month or two has passed and now, he has done it again. But, each time he has said that it wasn't him, but a demon. This time, he didn't snap out of it. Now, I'm greatly worried... My prayer alone is good, but I remembered the Christian clubs and memebers here on DA and how the Bible says prayer in numbers is much more powerful. Now I'm calling out to you all, please pray for him.

I haven't enclosed his name to protect his name, but if you must know, I will tell you who it is. Please, I beg of you all, pray for his freedom to whatever may be causing him to act in such a way.

Thank You

~Takineko would like to thank you for praying for her friend's mother who had ovarian cancer, SHE'S WELL NOW! At least doing well. Thank you and please continue to pray.


has the following request:
A friend mine's sister was recently in an accident. She is currently in the hospital on life support. She's doing a little better than she was, and the doctors say that if she keeps improving at this rate, she could make a recovery. So far the prayers are doing wonderful things! She's only 17, so please, keep her in your prayers, thanks!

UPDATE:
I haven't updated this club in nearly a year and I feel I've done a disservice to you. Perhaps I should acquire some admins to help keep it running. I've been moving around and trying to get a house etc, and let myself ignore my clubs. But this club is meant for Christians to study and come together so I feel it was shameful to ignore it. If you noted me to join months ago, you're now a member. If I let this place slip again and you really want me to update [urgent prayer requests especially] please note me at ~Takineko . I'm not really sure where the book is that I was using for the Bible studies so you don't get a daily study today, sorry for that too.

Today's study: Further Study
(please review the past 6 lessons)

1) The concept of identity is powerful. Human beings want to belong to something. Unfortunatley, there is a natural tendency to deem one's group, be it racial, national, religious (or any combination thereof) as superior to others. This, of course, can lead to bigotry and even subtle forms of prejudice. The earlier followers of Jesus weren't immune to this problem. We, no doubt, aren't either. What can we learn from Jesus that can change this sinful trait, which, unless checked, manifests itself in all of us?

Summary: It is easier to believe in a Messiah who will lead a vitorious army and bring freedom and full stomachs than one whose path leads to Calvary. Jesus was not the Messiah of popular expectation. His badge was a cross, not a crown. And He was God's Messiah for everybody, not just for the Jews. The disciples had much to learn and a great deal to unlearn. We see Jesus patiently attempting to set their thinking straight, as the shadow of the Cross begins to loom.

Today's study: The Transfiguration
(Mark9:2-13)

Read the account in Mark 9:2-13 and in Luke 9:28-36 about the Transfiguratin.
1) Who was involved in this incredible scene?
2) Who benefited from it, and why?
3) Why do you believe this happened when it did?

How fascinating that the voice of the Father from heaven should say to the disciples, “This is my beloved Son: hear him” (Mark 9:7). Though they certainly had so many reasons to believe in Jesus and His authority, they had a hard time with Him talking about being rejected and dying, even the point where Peter rebuked Jesus for talking that way (Mark 8:32). Thus, the Voice from heaven, whatever else it might have accomplished, certainly gave them more impetus to, indeed, “hear him.”

Read 2 Peter 1:16-21, Peter’s later account of the Transfiguration.
4) What point was he making by talking about this event?

At the same time, too, there’s no doubt this experience was a blessing to Jesus, as well, a reffirmation of the Father’s love as Jesus, now in human form, would soon set His face to go to Jerusalem and certain death. Three times the Father audibly declared the divine identity of Jesus Christ (Mark 1:11, 9:7, John 12:28), and each occasion marked a turning point in Jesus’ ministry, a time when Jesus, in His humanity, was to face a great trial.

No matter who we are or at what stage we are in our walk with the Lord, we all face moments of discouragement, moments in anticipation of an upcoming trial.
5) What does it say to us that even Jesus, the Lord Himself, benefited from an encouraging word?
6) How have you been benefited by someone who spoke words of encouragement?
7) If you know people who are going through a hard time, consider what you could say to help them in the same way that the voice of the Father helped Jesus and the disciples.

Today's study: The Cross, Jesus’ and Ours
(Mark 8:31 - 9:1).

For us, long centuries after the Cross, the idea of Christ, the Messiah, suffereing and dying is fundamental to our faith. Yet, imagine yourself in the role of Peter and the disciples, who have a whole other conception of what they believe the Messiah would do.
1) How did Peter and the disciples react to the idea that Jesus must suffer? (Mark 8:31 - 33).
2) Why do you think they reacted as they did? Might there have been some personal, even selfish reasons, for their reaction?

“The very vehemence of their opposition is meant to suggest that it is more than a matter of the intellect, more than a simple failure to understand what Jesus meant; the disciples did not want Jesus to suffer. And that was because it goes against the grain to be the followers of a Messiah who sufferes instead of producing spectacular victories by an effortless excersize of power; it brings no kudos, and offends the pride of the natural man. And judged by ordinary standards, there seems no point in the suffering and death of the Messiah. What is more, if it is the will of God that the Messiah should suffer, it might well be his will that the Messiah’s disciples should suffer a similar fate; from that again the natural man shrinks. So by their reaction to Jesus’ prophecy the disciples reveal even more clearly than before the truth about themselves, that their minds and wills are governed by the standards of this world, of the unredeemed, natural man--’ “they think as men think”’ (v.33)” --D.E. Nineham, “The Gospel of St. Mark (England: Penguin Books, Ltd., 1963), p.226.

3) What does it mean to “take up the cross” and follow Jesus?
4) What does Jesus mean by our need to deny self and by losing our lives?
5) Most of us find these notions rather unpleasant. Why?

In this context, read Galatians 2:19,20.
6) How have you (if you have professed Christ) experienced what Paul is talking about here?
7) If someone were to look at your life, what examples would they see of this principle?
8) If none, what does that tell you about your walk with the Lord?

Today's study: The World’s Greatest Question

“Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, ‘Who do people say I am?’
“They replied, ‘Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, on of the prophets.’
“But what about you?’ he asked. ‘Who do you say I am?’”
“eter answered, ‘you are the Christ.’
“Jesus Warned them not to tell anyone about him” (Mark 8:27 - 30, NIV).

1) Why is Jesus’ question, “Who do you say I am?”(Mark 8:29) the most important question in the world?
2) What’s wrong with the logic of those who give the following answers to this question?
a)Jesus was just a good man; b) Jesus was just a wonderful teacher; 3) Jesus was just the greatest person who ever lived. [See Matt. 18:20, 26:64; also John 8:58; 10:30; 11:25; 14:6.]

Notice how C.S. Lewis deals with all such answers:
I am trying here to revent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: ‘I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept His claim to be God.’ That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic--on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg-- or else he would be the devil of hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us.”--C.S. Lewis, “Mere Christianity” (New York: Simon & Shuster, Inc., 1996), p.56.
In verse 29 the “you” is emphatic in the original text. Jesus asked the question in such a way that the disciples were forced to give a personal answer. The question comes to every person today with just the same force, challenging us all to search our hearts and give and honest response. Every one’s eternal destiny hangs on the answer he or she gives; for if, like Peter, they acknowledge Jesus to be the Messiah, their lives cannot stay the same.

Many people speak highly of Jesus. They take offense at those who assert that Jesus is the only way of salvation.
3) How shall we help such people to confront the searching question: “Who do you say I am?”
