DAILY WISDOM
“[If] thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength [is] small.” [Proverbs 24:10]
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
DO NOT DENY JESUS
Luke 22:39-62; Mark 8:38
There was three mistakes made by Peter:
1. Peter followed Christ afar off. We need to be close to Jesus in our daily walk.
2. Peter sat down among them. He had no business sitting with the Devil’s crowd. We need to stand up for Jesus and to live separated lives.
3. Peter denied Christ three times. Each time got easier. We need to proclaim Jesus [Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8].
If you deny Christ, you will have to face Him for your denial.
If one denies Christ, it is a terrible sin and it should break your heart.
If we constantly deny Christ before men, how can we hope to win the world to Christ?
Romans 10:11-13
RELIGIOUS AWARENESS
Zoroastrian
Zoroastrianism is the religion and philosophy based on the teachings ascribed to the prophet Zoroaster (Zarathustra, Zartosht). Mazdaism is the religion that acknowledges the divine authority of Ahura Mazda, proclaimed by Zoroaster to be the one uncreated Creator of all (God).
As demonstrated by Zoroastrian creed and articles of faith, the two terms are effectively synonymous. In a declaration of the creed — the Fravarânç — the adherent states: "…I profess myself a devotee of Mazda, a follower of Zarathustra." (Yasna 12.2, 12.8)
While Zoroastrianism was once the dominant religion of much of Greater Iran, the number of adherents has dwindled to not more than 200,000 worldwide, with concentrations in India and Iran..
