The Share Community, Statement of Beliefs and Guidelines

-


Hello and Welcome,

I am excited to introduce the Share community over on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/groups/thesharecommunity/.

Share is a platform for preaching the gospel of Christ and a community where believers all over the world can grow and make meaningful connections by sharing lessons, insights, knowledge, revelations, etc. from God’s word with each other.

Below is our statement of beliefs and community guidelines

STATEMENT OF BELIEFS

1.
We believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

2.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God and that He is verily God, God the Son.

3.
We believe that God was made manifest in the flesh; Christ was born of a virgin as a man, died for our sins according to the Scriptures, was buried, and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.

4.
We believe in the Bible (also referred to as the 'Scriptures') as the inspired word of God.

5.
We believe in marriage as a union between one man and one woman.

6.
We believe that the infilling/baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues is for every believer in Christ.

7.
On the issue of giving, tithes, first-fruits etc. we believe that as each one has purposed in his heart so let him give.

8.
On the doctrine of eternal salvation, we affirm that He “is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. And that “if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”

GROUP GUIDELINES

There are also a few guidelines to moderate discussions and posts in the Group (All posts will generally be moderated by the Admins):

1.
There will be no derogatory comments or posts about any government, religion, race, country and or ethnic group.

2.
Insults and abusive words will certainly NOT be tolerated against anyone no matter who they are or what they do.

3.
Impersonation is a serious no-no here.

4.
Copyright is a serious issue so please ensure you have permission before posting stuff other people create.

5.
Motivational posts that are not rooted in God's Word are NOT allowed here.

6.
Memes that tell people to "type amen", "share if you love Jesus", may be allowed but are generally not preferred.

7.
ALL posts must be native. In other words, except for Youtube videos, posts and comments with links to other sites are not welcome.

Finally, the only goal here is to edify ourselves in love, so if someone posts something or makes a comment that you don't agree with, simply try to correct in love or better still pray for the person.

Don't engage anyone in a war of words or unnecessary back and forth.  These are quite distasteful and frankly, ineffective. Even where posts seem to derogate from the Statement of Beliefs your best course is to report the incident to the admin (and of course pray for such a one).

We hope you enjoy an enriching and fulfilling life here.

Once again, Welcome!

Watch and pray! 
Mat 26:41: Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
In St. Luke's account of the incident where this Scripture occurs we read that when Jesus saw them sleeping, He said unto them
“... Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.” Luk 22:46
Comparing this with what’s recorded in St. Matthew and Mark's Gospels, it means Jesus was simply saying
“stay/keep awake and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing but the flesh is weak.”
In other words, the Lord Jesus was simply admonishing His disciples not to slack off or be lazy but to be prayerful.
From this portion of Scripture, we understand that prayer or being prayerful is how we keep ourselves vigilant and diligent as saints, it is how we keep ourselves from entering into temptation; it is what enables us to give expression to the desires of our recreated human spirits.
It is also how we walk in the Spirit for by so…

How We See Ourselves

Numbers 13:33 KJV: And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. How we see ourselves matters a LOT. Often times, it influences how others see us and ultimately, it affects the quality of life that we experience. In the Scripture above, 10 of the spies sent out to scope the Promised Land came back with a negative but interesting report. Part of their report stated that when they saw the inhabitants of the land who were literally giants, in their own eyes they became like grasshoppers and then they became like grasshoppers in the sight of the giants. This is really interesting stuff. They were first grasshoppers in their own sight and then they became as such in the eyes of the giants. Their perception of themselves influenced the way others saw them. Note that it was not that the 10 spies were grasshoppers or like one; weak, cowardly, puny, defenseless, etc. nor was it that the gian…
