What Is Quiet Time?

A Quiet Time (QT) or sometimes we called it devotional time is a time of quietness and devotion you spend with God. It usually begins in a private place by asking God to make Himself known to you as a Friend and Father.

During QT you read the Bible slowly and think about what you have read and then ask God to show Himself to you through the Bible. And finally you pray over the verses you have read asking yourself. "what do I learn from it?"

It is good to do QT every morning when you wake up as this will help you through the day. Find a quiet corner and read your Bible. After reading, pray for yourself, friends and family. Sometimes you may want to read a Christian story book or listen to Christian music. Or you may just want to sing songs or write a letter to God.

Having a regular Quiet Time is like taking your food regularly and it will make you grow strong in God.

What Is Tithing?

Psalms 24:1 "The earth is the Lord''s, and all it contains"

As Christians, we believe that God owns everything and all things were given by Him. The Bible teaches us to be good stewards that means good managers of the many things that God has given to us.

As a believer, money isn't our possession, it's God's possession, which we hold in trust.

Tithing is an act we do to show that God is owner of what we have. Tithing is one of the first rule of giving found in the Bible – Abraham tithed before the Law was given to Moses.

Under the law in the Old Testament, giving a tithe was required. God's people in the Old Testament were asked to give one tenth of their income.

Tithing is an act of our trust and thanksgiving to the Lord.

Save Mother Earth

You would probably have heard from the news that climate change is affecting everyone. All of us should be concerned. The news are flooded with bad news of:

• rising sea level
• hotter days and nights
• higher food prices due to poor harvest
• change in weather pattern
• spread of infectious diseases

Why is the weather changing? Carbon dioxide. Yes, it is carbon dioxide. Every time we turn on the TV, computer, playstation, light, in fact when you turn on all electrical appliances, we use electricity. And electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels which produces carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a gas and excess carbon dioxide traps heat from the sun causing climate change.

The more electricity we use, the more carbon dioxide is generated. Love Mother Earth, help reduce CO2 (CO2 is the chemical name for carbon dioxide). T

he Bible teaches us to take care of Earth. "The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it" (Genesis 2:15).

Be careful to turn off the lights when you leave the room.

What Is Holy Communion?

Moriah AG celebrates Holy Communion on the first Sunday of each month. This is one way to remember our Lord Jesus' death on the cross for us. The Lord Jesus instructed his followers to remember him through the symbols of bread and wine. This act of remembrance is called Holy Communion or the Lord's Supper.

Christians who believe in Jesus Christ participate in Holy Communion. Holy Communion is a sacred time for reflection and prayer that nourishes our souls by faith.

1 Corinthians 11:24-26 says
"For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, 'This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.' In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.' For whenever you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes."

In Holy Communion, we remember who Jesus is. When we take the bread and drink from the cup we remember He is God's Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.

We remember who we are We are sinners in need of forgiveness. It's important to take some quiet moment to confess our sins to God and ask Him for forgiveness.

We remember what He did Holy Communion helps us to remember that Christ died for our sins. Christ loves us so much that He died for our sins so that we would no longer be separated from God.

Holy Communion reminds us that Jesus gave His life, represented by the bread on the cross for our sins. Jesus also bled on the cross, the cup represents his blood. He died and was buried but He rose from the grave to live again so that we could with God forever in heaven.

We remember that He is coming back One day Jesus is coming back in a wonderful way, we do not know the exact time when He will return. While we wait, we remember Him through Holy Communion.
