Count Zinzendorf

"I have but one passion - it is He, it is He alone. The world is the field and the field is the world; and henceforth that country shall be my home where I can be most used in winning souls for Christ." - Count Zinzendorf

The Moravian Brethren were responsible for some of the most inspiring and sacrificial stories of missions history. Lead by Count Zinzendorf, one of every sixty Moravians went as cross-cultural missionaries, planting mission stations in the Virgin Islands, Greenland, North America, South America, South Africa, and Labrador. Count Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf was born in 1700 into wealth and a noble family. Raised by grandmother and Aunt, in an atmosphere of evangelical Pietism, and during his study at Halle as a young man, Nicolaus developed a dedication to Jesus Christ and a passion for spreading the gospel. Zinzendorf attended Wittenberg University with the aim of earning a law degree and following in his family's expectations of him as a nobleman. There was a constant dissonance in his heart between the pressure of his family and the responsibility that he felt toward serving the Lord in ministry, and giving his life to the one who gave His life for all. Even though his future as a nobleman and in state service would be full of success and approval, he found no joy in the idea of spending his life as a follower of Jesus in comfort and ease. Then in 1719 Zinzendorf was powerfully impacted by a painting of Christ enduring the crown of thorns. An inscription below the painting read, "All this I did for you, what are you doing for me?" This was a decisive moment in his life, moving him to finally choose against the life as a nobleman and enter Christian ministry.

Several years later, in 1727,during a communion service, the Holy Spirit moved powerfully on all that were there and Zinzendorf lead the others in beginning a prayer meeting. Beginning with a deep conviction for the evangelization of the world, the prayer meeting continued and deepened in passion for the lost both near and far. This prayer movement that began that night of Aug 13th continued through the Moravians around the clock, without interruption, for more than one hundred years. This was undeniably the force behind the great Moravian missions movements that would follow during the 18th century.

The Moravian Brotherhood was a result of the missions mobilization and passion of Zinzendorf. They had a seal that represented and reminded them of their devotion to the Lord. It contained a lamb on a crimson ground, with the cross and a banner representing the triumph of the resurrection with the motto; "Our Lamb has conquered, let us follow Him."

The Moravians beautifully explain their motivation for missions in the following 1791 evangelical report. "The simple motive of the brethren for sending missionaries to distant nations was and is an ardent desire to promote the salvation of their fellow men, by making known to them the gospel of our Savior Jesus Christ. It grieved them to hear of so many thousands and millions of the human race sitting in darkness and groaning beneath the yoke of sin and the tyranny of Satan; and remembering the glorious promises given in the Word of God, that the heathen also should be the reward of the sufferings and death of Jesus; and considering His commandment to His followers, to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, they were filled with confident hopes that if they went forth in obedience unto, and believing in His word, their labor would not be in vain in the Lord. They were not dismayed in reflecting on the smallness of their means and abilities, and that they hardly knew their way to the heathen whose salvation they so ardently longed for, nor by the prospect of enduring hardships of every kind and even perhaps the loss of their lives in the attempt. Yet their love to their Savior and their fellow sinners for whom He shed His blood, far outweighed all these considerations. They went forth in the strength of their God and He has wrought wonders in their behalf."

The two first Moravian missionaries, on October 8,1732, set sail from Copenhagen for the West Indies. On board were John Leonard Dober, a potter, and David Nitschman, a carpenter. Their purpose was to follow Jesus' command, "As the father has sent me so send I you." Jesus, in incarnating His life into humanity, had left all. Paul said, "For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, so that I may win more. I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some (1 Cor. 9:19-22)." The only way to reach the slaves of the West Indies was to become incarnated into their lives. These two men set sail with the objective of selling themselves into slavery to reach the slaves if they must.

What they called out to the shore from the boat would become the rally of all future Moravian missionaries. Taken from Revelation 5:9 they pointed their mission to the worthiness of the glory of God saying, "May the Lamb that was slain receive the reward of His suffering." Upon arriving at the shores of their destinations, the Moravians would unload their few belongings and then burn the ships. It was a refusal to look back to that country from which they went out. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one (Heb 11:15-16). The Moravian's passion for missions was great, because their passion for God was great.

For I am NOT ASHAMED of the gospel...



"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile" Romans 1:16

The paradox of our time/ Парадокс нашего времени


The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less. We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too seldom, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; We've added years to life, not life to years.
We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space; We've done larger things, but not better things;
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; We've split the atom, but not our prejudice; We write more, but learn less; We plan more, but accomplish less.
We've learned to rush, but not to wait; We have higher incomes, but lower morals; We have more food, but less appeasement; We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; We've become long on quantity, but short on quality.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men, and short character; steep profits, and shallow relationships. These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition. These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes.
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom; a time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to make a difference, or to just hit delete...

Когда жена Джорджа Карлина умерла, Карлин, известный острослов и сатирик 70-80-ых годов, написал эту невероятно выразительную статью, уместную и сегодня.

«Парадоксом нашего времени является то, что мы имеем высокие строения, но низкую терпимость, широкие магистрали, но узкие взгляды.

Тратим больше, но имеем меньше, покупаем больше, но радуемся меньше.
Имеем большие дома, но меньшие семьи, лучшие удобства, но меньше времени.
Имеем лучшее образование, но меньше разума, лучшие знания, но хуже оцениваем ситуацию, имеем больше экспертов, но и больше проблем, лучшую медицину, но хуже здоровье.

Пьем слишком много, курим слишком много, тратим слишком безответственно,смеемся слишком мало, ездим слишком быстро, гневаемся слишком легко, спать ложимся слишком поздно, просыпаемся слишком усталыми, читаем слишком мало,слишком много смотрим телевидение и молимся слишком редко.
Увеличили свои притязания, но сократили ценности.

Говорим слишком много, любим слишком редко и ненавидим слишком часто. Знаем, как выжить, но не знаем, как жить. Добавляем года к человеческой жизни, но не добавляем жизни к годам.

Достигли Луны и вернулись, но с трудом переходим улицу и знакомимся с новым соседом.
Покоряем космические пространства, но не душевные.
Делаем большие, но не лучшие дела.

Очищаем воздух, но загрязняем душу.
Подчинили себе атом, но не свои предрассудки.
Пишем больше, но узнаем меньше.
Планируем больше, но добиваемся меньшего.
Научились спешить, но не ждать.
Создаем новые компьютеры, которые хранят больше информации и извергают потоки копий, чем раньше, но общаемся все меньше.

Это время быстрого питания и плохого пищеварения, больших людей и мелких душ,быстрой прибыли и трудных взаимоотношений.
Время роста семейных доходов и роста числа разводов, красивых домов и разрушенных домашних очагов.

Время коротких расстояний, одноразовых подгузников, разовой морали, связей на одну ночь; лишнего веса и таблеток, которые делают все: возбуждают нас,успокаивают нас, убивают наc.
Время заполненных витрин и пустых складов.
Время, когда технологии позволяют этому письму попасть к вам, в то же время позволяют вам поделиться им или просто нажать "Delete".

Запомните, уделяйте больше времени тем, кого любите, потому что они с вами не навсегда.

Запомните и горячо прижмите близкого человека к себе, потому что это единственное сокровище, которое можете отдать от сердца, и оно не стоит ни копейки.

Запомните и говорите "люблю тебя" своим любимым, но сначала действительно это почувствуйте.
Поцелуй и объятия могут поправить любую неприятность, когда идут от сердца.

Запомните и держитесь за руки и цените моменты, когда вы вместе, потому что однажды этого человека не будет рядом с вами.

Найдите время для любви, найдите время для общения и найдите время для возможности поделиться всем, что имеете сказать.
Потому что жизнь измеряется не числом вдохов-выдохов, а моментами, когда захватывает дух!»

О чем думали великие люди перед лицом смерти?


В ситуации, когда дело касается жизни и смерти, все люди становятся серьезнее и честнее. Действительность становится важнее, чем собственная гордыня и жизненные принципы. Многие атеисты и диктаторы перед смертью вдруг начинали внутренне осознавать, что им придется предстать пред Богом.
ЭНГЕЛЬС,
главный пропагандист атеизма, в старческом возрасте вновь обратился к Богу:
"Мы должны возвратить свою жизнь Тому, Кто умер за всех нас на Кресте".
ЛЕНИН,
просил в конце своей жизни прощения даже у столов и у стульев.
"Мы шли ложным путем, России нужен был подвиг десяти Франциссков Асизских. Лишь сейчас начинается кровопролитие".
ЗИНОВЬЕВ,
президент коммунистического Интернационала, соратник Ленина.
“Господь Бог наш - Бог вечный”.
Ганс ФРАНК,
немецкий нац.-соц. рейх министр. Его последние слова перед повешением:
"Эту смерть я принимаю как расплату за те злодеяния, которые свершились через нас. Но у меня есть доверие к Богу и Его милосердию, которое, может быть, нас спасет".
Генрих ГЕЙНЕ (1797-1856)
великий насмешник, друг Маркса и Гесса, признаётся перед смертью:
“Разбита старая лира о скалу, которая зовется Христос. Лира злого праздника и злого духа. Лира, призывавшая к бунту, воспевавшая сомнение, насмешку, отступление. О Господь, Господь! Я падаю на колени, прости, прости мне мои песни!”
Карл МАРКС.
И для него потусторонний мир был реальностью. Вот что сообщает его служанка после его смерти:
"Он был богобоязненным человеком. Когда он очень болел, он молился один в своей комнате перед зажженными свечами и перевязывал свой лоб повязкой".
Мао ДЗЕ-ДУН.
В интервью английскому журналу "Сноу" (1971) Мао сказал: "Скоро я предстану перед Богом".
В 1936г. Мао тяжело заболел. Он попросил крещения и был крещен католической монахиней.
РИББЕНТРОП,
нац.-соц. министр.
Перед смертью сказал: "Я надеюсь, что жертва Христа спасет и меня".
ЯРОСЛАВСКИЙ (псевдоним),
президент Интернационала безбожников. Перед смертью обратился с просьбой к Сталину:
"Сожгите все мои книги! Видите святого, Он уже давно ждет меня. Он здесь. Сожгите мои книги!"
ВОЛЬТЕР,
великий насмешник, перед смертью требовал священника. Медсестра, присутствовавшая при этом, сказала:
"За все богатство Европы не согласилась бы я еще раз увидеть, как умирает безбожник".
Людек ПАХМАН, чех, убежденный марксист. В 1969г. арестован.
"За те дни, которые я провел в тюрьме между жизнью и смертью, мне была дарована вера в Бога".

Charlie Chaplin letter to his daughter Geraldine



My girl
Now it is night. One Christmas night. All unarmed wars in my little castle slept. Not awake or your brother or your sister. Even your mother now sleeps. Not only woke up zaspalite birds until he came to this polusvetla room.
I am far from you! But let oslepeya if even for a moment your portrait has disappeared from my eyes. It was here – on the table here – to my heart. But where are you? There – prikazniya in Paris, of the magnificent dance theater scene Shan h `Elize. I know that, like in a quiet night you hear footsteps, to see your eyes shining like stars in the winter darkness. I heard that your role in this party and light show is the role of Persian Beauty, captive from Tatar Khan. Be fair and dance. Be a star and siyay. But if vaztorzite and they thanked the audience intoxicated, if the flavor of flowers sent to you, they zamae, you sit in a corner, read my letter and listen to the voice of his father.
I am your father, Zheraldin!
I’m Charlie, Charlie Chaplin!
You know how many nights I sat by your bed for you to tell stories when I was small – the Sleeping Beauty for budniya dragon in the field … And when the dream comes to rest my eyes, I get him and says: “Go! I sleep with dreams of his daughter! “I see these dreams, Zheraldin see your future, today’s your day! I see a girl playing on the stage, a fairy dancing in the sky. I heard the crowd say: “See that girl? It is the daughter of the old fool. Remember how I said – Charlie? ”
Yes! I’m Charlie! I am old fool!
Today is your day. Dance! I dancing in a wide okasan and trousers, and you in silk dress of a princess. These dances and the sound of applause will sometimes rise in the heavens.
Go! Go there! But back on earth! And look at people’s lives, the lives of those street dancers in the final quarters to play hungry and shiver and beggary. I was like them, Zheraldin! In those nights, those Charming nights sleep in my talk, I stay awake. I saw your face, hit felt your heart and ask: “Charlie! Really this kitten will ever know? “You do not know me, Zheraldin … As I talk to razkazval those long nights, its story I never razkazval you … And it is also interesting … Story about a hungry fool who peeshe and dancing in the poor neighborhoods of London, and then … gathering alms … This is my story!
I vkusil hunger, I know what it means to be without a roof! Moreover, I felt pain of the humiliating skitnika poll in whose breasts Ocean raged all of pride, had a coin toss to drain. But nevertheless I am alive and live normally for a little talk.
Better to talk to you!
After your name, Zheraldin is my – Chaplin. It more than forty years I laugh people on earth. But I cried more than they are brave, Zheraldin! In the world in which you live, there is only dance and music!
At midnight, when leaving the great hall you forget richest fans, but do not forget to ask a taxi driver who takes home to his wife … And if brememnna if no money to buy a coat child, you put money in his hand. I told the bank to pay your these costs. But for others – you have to send the correct account! From time to time by subway or bus examine city walk se.Gleday people! And at least once a day said: “I am one of them!” Yes! You are one, my girl. More! Art before a human wings for excursions in visinite usually schupva his legs. And when the moment in which you feel yourself more than the audience, immediately leave the scene! Go with the first charges in the vicinity of Paris. I know them very well! … There you will see many dancers like you – even more beautiful than you, and more proud of you. Glare from the spotlight of your theater no clue! Projector is for them the moon. Look, look good! Do not dance better than you? Admit it, my girl! Always someone who dance better! And know – the family of Charlie no one was so rude to make a hack rugae or podigrae beggar, sitting near the Seine …
I will die, but you will live … I want you never to live in poverty! Along with this letter you send a white check. As you write to it. But when spending two francs, do not forget to say that the third coin is not yours. It must belong to nepoznatiya man who needs one franc. And it you can easily find. I want to see these strangers pauperism, you can find them everywhere. If you talk about money, do this because I know izmamnata force these devils … You know, I spent a long time in the circus. And I always bezpokoyal of twister. But I gotta tell you a true, my girl – making people more easily than solid ground than players of precarious rope. Maybe one night glory of the most expensive diamond will fraud. In the same night that your diamond will be unstable and fall rope you safe. Perhaps one day the beautiful face of a prince will fraud. On the same day you will be unversed twister, a twister neopitnite always fall … Not to sell my heart for gold and jewelry. For the largest diamond is the Sun. Fortunately he shine in the face of every man!
And when one day falling in love with a man, you all be with him. Your mom told you I write about it. She knows better love me, it applicable to her as you talk about it …
Your job is very difficult. I know that. Your body is covered only with a piece of silk. Because art can and will appear naked on stage, but to come back from there in wearing and cleaner …
But nothing and no one else in this world deserves to see even the nails of the feet of a girl. Nakedness is a disease of our time.
I am old and my words might sound funny. But me, your naked body must belong to one who loves Face your soul. It is not scary if your belief that is ten years from the time you go. Fear not – those ten years they will not sastaryat. But as it is, I want you to be the last person who is subject of the island of bare! …
I know that sons and fathers are always bivali in a duel. With me, fight with my thoughts, my girl. I love children subject. And before kapnat tears from my eyes on this letter, I believe – this is Christmas night, night of miracles. I want to become a miracle – you really know you all I want to tell you.
Charlie is already outdated, Zheraldin! Sooner or later, instead of white silk to the scene, you will have to wear black to go to my grave. Now I do not want to bother. Only from time to time look in the mirror, there will see me. My blood runs in your veins. I even when in my veins the blood dried up, not to forget his father – Charlie. I was not an angel, but as far as could be stremyah to be a
man. Try it and you.

Sun is touching mountain top
When you look into my eyes
It will never have to stop

White Preachers and Black Preachers


"Я думаю, что если славянская молодежь совместит живое прославление с вашим молитвенным подходом, то она достигнет образцового служения прославления, которое вызовет даже “зависть” американской молодежи. Когда я так говорю, многие думают, что я приезжаю к ним для того, чтобы менять существующий порядок в их церквах. Но я прямо скажу вам, что вы не сможете удержать вашу молодежь, если только они не будут иметь возможность приходить и свободно исполнять живые песни прославления; если только они не будут полностью вовлечены в служение. Разрешите им поднимать руки, разрешите им рукоплескать, разрешите им прославлять Господа, разрешите им петь с радостью и если необходимо, разрешите им даже танцевать перед Господом. Все это сохранит вашу молодежь в ваших церквях и сбалансирует крепкое молитвенное основание с необходимостью для молодежи свободно выражать себя в прославлении Бога." Девид Вилкерсон 
 Тяжело понять почему так много славянских  пастырей  категорически настроены против живого прославления? Это не соответствует писанию и расходится с логикой: все принимали и уважали Д.Вилкерсона но с его словами не соглашаются. Печально смотреть на то как многие церкви умирают из-за недостатка понимания и нерассудителности. Tрадиции погубили фарисеев и в наше время немало вреда они приносят. Господи дай нам всем мудрости...

гонения на христиан продолжаются или Казахстанский беспредел


“David served the purposes of God in his generation, then he died” (Acts 13:36).
