Christ came not only so that we can be declared righteous before God in our justification but also so that we can be set apart from the world unto God's service in our sanctification. In this message, Dr. Michael Reeves looks at the Westminster Confession's chapter on sanctification, noting how the confession points us to a biblical understanding of God's conforming us to the image of His Son.

One of the foundational truths of the Christian faith is that God has adopted us as children by grace and through faith. In this message, Dr. Michael Reeves considers how the Apostles' Creed points to God as “the Father Almighty” and how this is based on the Bible's teaching about God.

Assine o Café Brasil em https://canalcafebrasil.com.br  Em 2018 estive nos Estados Unidos participando da Winter Conference da National Speakers Association, sobre o futuro das palestras. Assisti dezenas de apresentações, ávido para compreender a visão de futuro que os norte-americanos têm do segmento no qual atuo. Os Estados Unidos estão 10, 20 anos à frente do Brasil no segmento das palestras. São mais organizados, mais comprometidos, mais antenados. E lá pelo meio do evento, ficou claro para mim que as dificuldades que separam o Brasil dos Estados Unidos nesse segmento, não são técnicas, não são formais. Nós temos as mesmas tecnologias que eles, contamos histórias até melhor que muitos deles, somos mais verdadeiros no palco, sabemos como combinar emoção com conteúdo igual ou até melhor que eles. Mas o fosso cultural que nos separa é quase intransponível. Esse fosso não é uma questão de educação formal. Em muitos momentos me vi viajando em meio à discussão, que falavam de proposta de valor, discutiam detalhes de como incorporar mais conteúdo, como criar momentos excepcionais, como entregar mais valor. E quando os clientes, os contratadores de palestras se apresentaram, deixaram claro o que buscavam: profissionais capazes não só de informar, educar e entreter audiências, mas de levar o evento do contratador para suas próprias audiências, de combinar mídias sociais próprias com o evento… eles querem muito mais que uma palestra. Eu ouvindo aquilo tudo e comparando com o Brasil, cara. O que é que a gente discute aqui, hein? Bom. É preço, né?Vendemos e contratamos palestras pelo preço. E só pagamos o preço alto se o palestrante for uma celebridade… Conteúdo? Ah, se for uma celebridade isso nem importa! Em nenhum, eu repito, NENHUM segundo daquele evento de três dias o assunto “preço de palestras” foi mencionado.Aí eu vou alugar um carro e a relação com a empresa está anos luz à frente da nossa relação aqui no Brasil. Vou fechar a conta no hotel. O que eu disse que eu consumi no quarto é o que vale, eles não mandam a camareira verificar. Vou no Museu. Segunda feira. Lotado de estudantes, jovens estudantes. Fui em três museus e vi o mesmo. Um deles, o Museu do Holocausto, numa cidade chamada Richmond, na Virgínia, que tem cerca de 230 mil habitantes. Eu não sei se o Brasil tem quatro museus que possam se comparar àquele da pequena cidade. Construído e mantido por sobreviventes dos Campos de Concentração, que doaram tempo e dinheiro para aquela sociedade.Você percebe a diferença?Sim, eu sei que existem problemas nos Estados Unidos, sim eu encontrei miseráveis, os sem teto pedindo esmolas nas ruas de Baltimore, sim, aquilo não é um paraíso, sim, sim, eu sei… Mas se é só isso que você consegue compreender de tudo que estou dizendo aqui, por favor comece de novo. Dispa-se de sua mistura de inveja com frustração e ódio. Pratique a empatia positiva com os norte-americanos. Transforme essa sua dor de cotovelo em curiosidade, meu… o que é que aqueles caras fazem de tão bom que a gente deveria copiar?Aquela sociedade sabe o que quer. Define regras. E cumpre. E os indivíduos que a compõem sabem disso. Quem quebra regras sabe que sofrerá consequências.Cara, como é óbvio isso...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
