Mas a hora vem, e agora é, em que os verdadeiros adoradores adorarão o Pai em espírito e em verdade;
porque o Pai procura a tais que assim o adorem. João 4:23

A Adoração Agradável a Deus



Sabe... não sei o que você pensa sobre adoração. Ao ler um versículo na Bíblia passei a refletir aquilo que, em mim, agradava a Deus. Em Efésios 5:1 encontramos a expressão de que a vida de Jesus foi aceita por Deus como “oferta e sacrifício de aroma agradável.” Antigamente, quando era oferecido um sacrifício a Deus, o animal era morto, o seu sangue derramado e o sacrifício era queimado. Enquanto o sacrifício se queimava, o cheiro que exalava agradava a Deus porque o aroma era gostoso. A carne do animal não era podre e não cheirava mal.

Você já sentiu o cheiro de uma carne estragada, podre? O cheiro não é horrível? Você não tem o desejo de tampar o nariz e passar longe dela? Já reparou na feição do seu rosto, como fica contorcido como reação de desprezo e de não aceitação? Creio que podemos concordar que não é nada agradável passar perto e sentir o cheiro de uma carne estragada.

À luz desse versículo, que adoração, então, agrada a Deus? Será aquela em que a preocupação primária é somente com a excelência e a perfeição de uma boa apresentação de uma música ou banda? Se pensarmos que é isso, estamos longe de agradar a Deus com nossa adoração.

Mais do que músicas, danças e instrumentos, Ele está interessado na vida; o cheiro que a vida pode exalar.A vida de Jesus era pura, santa, ou seja, não havia pecado, nada que pudesse estragar o bom perfume. Se Jesus não falasse, e de seus lábios nunca tivesse saído um cântico, Ele ainda conseguiria adorar a Deus. Isso por causa de Sua vida.

Sua vida hoje agrada a Deus? Que tipo de sacrifício você tem oferecido ao Pai?

Não quero citar nenhum caso específico, mas, como existem casos de pessoas que se apresentam como adoradores, tendo a prática do pecado de adultério, fornicação (quantos casais de namorados que hoje estão ministrando em muitas igrejas que estão tendo relações sexuais); sensualidade; linguajar obsceno; pecado oculto!

Se uma pessoa dessa apresentar adoração a Deus vai mais parecer com uma carne podre que exala mau cheiro. O que mais agrada a Deus é uma vida pura, separada do pecado, pois este estraga a vida. Em particular, eu não gostaria de ver Deus retorcendo o Seu nariz e virando o rosto para não sentir o mau cheiro de minha vida por causa do pecado. Prefiro me esforçar em imitar a Cristo para que Deus aceite a minha vida como adoração com cheiro agradável. E você? Se Deus hoje inspirar a sua vida, qual o cheiro que Ele irá sentir?

Não permita que o pecado venha estragar a sua vida; não viva em pecado oculto. Tome hoje uma decisão. Busque a santificação, se arrependa de seus pecados para que a sua vida possa ser oferecida como sacrifício e aroma agradável a Deus.Se você hoje já tem vivido em santidade, sem a prática de pecado, nunca deixe se enganar, nem se levar pelas tentações da carne, pois o pecado só estraga e faz apodrecer.

“Portanto, sejam imitadores de Deus, como filhos amados, e vivam em amor, como também Cristo nos amou e se entregou por nós como oferta e sacrifício de aroma agradável a Deus.” (Ef. 5:1-2)

Finding the right sports books and bookmakers to use for your arbitrage sports betting can be a daunting task with the internet now they are everywhere. The list of crooked bookmaking sites that have helped part people with their money and robbed them of their winnings grows longer every day. Being enlightened about this all sports bettors should do their due diligence before signing up with any bookmaker and be sure of their reputation as well as their guarantees on return of winnings. Almost all sports betting sites will have reviews so read them before making your decision on which one you go with.

One key thing to remember when you are seeking out the best sports betting odds is that the best odds and the best sports bookmaker are not necessarily one and the same.

On the other hand if you were to lose then you would wager twice what your original bet was. According to proponents of the system, this strategy will eventually enable you to win the bets you place and when you win you would recover all your lost bets plus one unit profit against your initial wager.

The second group fares a lot worse because, unfortunately for them, the variance in the "value" range will be different for each of them, and it will also vary considerably from bet to bet, making the concept of value mere words (and therefore meaningless). he reality is that the majority of people do not have any means whatsoever of identifying "true" value bets.

The game began well for Real Madrid, with strong energy in the players. Kaka was the first to make an attempt, but the goal was denied by Lyon goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. Only five minutes later, Cristiano Ronaldo took a pass from Gutis to the left and made a left-footed shot that ended up in Lyon’s net, setting the score 1-0 in the game and 1-1 in the aggregate. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]himno real madrid[/url] Just entering the second half, Raul Gonzalez collected a pass from Ronaldo to finish the play and set up the first goal of the match. Only two minutes after, Matteo Contini saw the red card and Zaragoza was left with 10 players. But far from collapse due to the expulsion, the Zaragoza player Adrian Colunga faced Iker Casillas and got the equalizer at minute 61. Despite this goal, the Whites kept attacking but it was not until minute 82 when Kaka, who came back from injury, picked up a deep pass from Ronaldo and put the final 2-1 for Real Madrid.

Espanyol entered the second half rejuvenated, motivated, enthusiastic, and ready to control the field. Nevertheless, the team was far too inconsistent and never quite managed to threaten Madrid’s area. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]ronaldo goals[/url] Barcelona and Real Madrid can both boast a star-studded cast. Barcelona won on Tuesday against Racing Santander 4-1, with Lionel Messi scoring two of the team’s four goals; Real Madrid did their job on Wednesday, defeating Villareal 2-0 with goals from Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo.

9.) Similarly, chat rooms also offer different incentives. Some chat rooms offer free game for playing and chatting for certain number of hours on their site. Some offer incentives for referring friends to their site. Such incentives offer extra chances to play and therefore, more chances for winning a game of online bingo. You also get to enjoy bingo games for longer periods. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]play online bingo[/url] Card selection for online bingo is on a random basis. Some game sites offer you three or four bingo cards while some offer many more bingo cards. Called numbers appear on the screen and normally at duration of ten seconds apart. You have to locate the numbers accurately within the allotted time and mark on your card before proceeding ahead. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]free bingo cash[/url] With so many different casino and gaming sites on the Internet, it is difficult to know which ones are legitimate and which ones are not. After all, if you want to join the gaming community, you have to decide whether you want to play for money or for fun and prizes. If the former, it is more pertinent to find out what sites are legitimate since you do not want to invest cash into something that is not going to give you a return on your investment.
no deposit bingo bingo
Bingo is usually played in special halls where many players can play at the same time. The actual fun is the tension building up seeing other players closer and closer to the finish line. However, with the advent of the Internet, BINGO has gone online as well. There are many ways to play on the net, though the basics remain the same. You will have to complete a given pattern before anyone else in order to win. Over the net, you need not shout the computer will flash it out for you. Some online games also have chat attached to the games where you can speak with other players online and have fun right from your home, office or any other place where you can get on the net. Chatting is a great way to meet new people and pick up the tips and tricks.

Всем привет!

Недавно перед мной встала задача, куда деть накопишиеся [b]европоддоны[/b], или еще их называют [b]Паллеты[/b],
[b]Поддоны[/b], [b]Европаллет[/b]ы Размеры 800*1200, 1000*1200- Это [u]Тара Пром назначения[/u].
Немного предистории.
Сам я работаю кладовщиком на складе. Нам приходит много продукции на [b]Европоддонах[/b],
товар продаем а поддоны остаются, у нас возник вопрос куда их девать.
Раньше мы их сжигали.
Потом я узнал, что за поддоны можно получить деньги.
Начал звонить по фирмам везде были цены низкие,
потом друзья мне подсказали, что в Челябинске есть такая Фирма "[b]Уралсклад[/b]",
около 10 лет на Рынке Промышленной Тары с хорошей репутацией.
Я нашел их сайт в интернет - [url=http://www.uralsklad.ru]www.uralsklad.ru[/url] и позвонил по тел. +7(351) 233-07-14.
Буквально через час подъехал их представитель, Авто с Логотипом "[url=http://www.uralsklad.ru]Поддоны Челябинск[/url]".
Цены закупочные оказались самые высокие в г. Челябинске.
Все цивилизовано грузчики загрузили [b]Паллеты[/b] ешё и лом поддонов купили, расчитались на месте наличными.
Про другие фирмы я узнавал либо Цены низкие, либо Бракуют много, да и денег от них не дождешься.

Так что если у вас завалялись [b]европоддоны[/b], не торопитесь их выбрасывать, лучше обменяйте их на деньги.
