Carta
ao
Leitor

Let’s
worship
Him
in
spirit
and
in
truth.
 
 To
Our
Readers
 
 omething
that
has
been
on
my
mind
lately,
a
question
I
have
been
 pondering
in
my
heart:
Do
I
truly
worship
or
just
love
God?
Oh!
Please
 don’t
take
me
the
wrong
way,
yes,
I
must
love
Him
with
all
my
heart,
all
my
 strength,
all
my
mind…(Deut.
6:5),
but
worship
is
a
deeper
state
of
the
soul.

 
 Worship
is
to
be
totally
devoted
to
Him,
to
empty
myself
and
be
filled
with
Him
 alone.
Worship
is
when
my
eyes
are
fixed
on
Him
in
such
way
that
nothing
else
 matters;
noise
becomes
a
whisper
before
the
majesty
of
His
presence.
Worship
 is
to
contemplate
the
One
who
is
all
I
need,
when
all
I
need
is
to
be
in
the
Holy
of
 holies.
Seeing
Him
leads
me
to
cease
seeing
my
own
self,
my
troubles,
my
 circumstances.
My
eyes
are
now
glued
to
the
Master
and
I
am
satisfied
by
Him.
 My
ears
then
cease
to
hear
the
surrounding
noises
and
I
am
ready
to
follow
His
 lead,
ready
to
hear
what
is
God’s
will
for
my
life.

 
 Oh!
May
this
be
the
desire
of
your
souls
and
may
we
worship
Him
in
spirit
and
 in
truth
(John
4:23).
God
is
inviting
you
and
me
to
a
complete
and
true
 surrender
until
our
hearts
are
fully
His!

What
does
God
see
when
He
looks
into
your
heart?


 Does
your
innermost

being
shine
with
the
joy
of
true
 surrender?

 “For
the
eyes
of
the
Lord
move
to
and
fro
throughout
the
earth
that
He
may
 strongly

support
those
whose
hearts
aret
truly
His....”
(2
Chronicles

16:9)

G

od
 is
 looking
 for
 hearts
 that
 are
 fully
 His,
 totally
 dependent
on
Him,
relying
 on
nothing
but
His
power.
Hearts
 that
 are
 humbled
 by
 thorns
 and
 made
strong
in
His
grace.
 
 And
 how
 do
 we
 keep
 our
 hearts
 like
 this?
 We
 guard
 our
 time
 of
 quiet,
 of
 being
 alone
 in
 His
 presence,
 reading
 and
 meditating
 on
 His
 Word
 and
 then
 talking
 with
 Him
 about
 all
 issues
of
life.
I
cannot
stress
this
 enough.
When
we
get
in
a
hurry,
 when
 we’re
 so
 pressured,
 so
 stressed
 out,
 so
 preoccupied
 by
 the
affairs
of
daily
living
that
we
 cannot
 have
 leisure
 in
 His
 presence
 and
 in
 His
 Word,
 then
 we’re
 in
 grave
 danger
 of
 succumbing
 to
 temptation
 and
 pride.

The
 Lord’s
 eyes
 are
 running
 to
 and
 fro
 across
 the
 earth.
 When
 He
 sees
 you
 meditating
 on
 His
 Word,
 taking
 time
 to
 commune
 with
 Him
 in
 prayer
 –
 He
 stops.
 He
 has
 found
 what
 He’s
 looking
 for:
a
heart
that’s
fully
His.
 Oh,
 precious
 one,
 do
 His
 eyes
 rest
on
you?
 
 Lord,
 I
 long
 to
 have
 a
 heart
 that
 is
 wholly
 devoted
 to
 You.
 I
 surrender
 every
 corner
 of
 my
 life,
 every
 moment
 of
 my
 day
 to
 Your
 service.
 I
 choose
 to
 live
 in
 dependence
 on
 You
 and
 Your
 Word.

to

lives”

I

n
 November
 2008
 we
 received
 an
 email
 from
 a
 Marcos
 Schirm
 who
 had
 found
 our
 Portuguese
 website.
Since
that
communication
he
has
shown
 a
deep,
abiding
interest
in
training
and
materials
for
 his
 hometown
 of
 Belo
 Horizonte,
 Minas
 Gerais
 state
 (Brazil).
Here’s
his
first
email:
 
 I
visited
your
whole
site,
including
the
one
in
English.
I
 love
 it
 and
 completely
 identified
 with
 your
 mission
 to
 help
 people
 study
 and
 apply
 the
 Word
 of
 God
 to
 their
 lives.
 I’ve
 been
 a
 Sunday
 school
 teacher
 for
 about
 fifteen
 years
 and
 this
 tool
 called
 “inductive
 study”
 is
 fantastic!
 In
 fact
 Precept’s
 inductive
 study
 method
 is
 the
expression
of
my
highest
dream—what
I
had
been
 looking
for
to
work
with
my
whole
life.
 
 I
 want
 to
 become
 involved
 with
 every
 level
 of
 this
 ministry
to
lead
people
to
clear
understanding
of
God’s
 Word.
 
 
 With
 each
 subsequent
 email
 we
 saw
 the
 Lord
 developing
him
and
raising
his
interest:
 
 God
 has
 done
 a
 great
 restoration
 and
 reorganization
 of
my
life—a
tsunami
of
preparation
to
serve
Precept.

After
 you
 trained
 me
 and
 my
 dream
 started
 taking
 shape,
 I
 prayed
 that
 He
 would
 make
 me
 worthy
 to
 teach
Precept’s
courses.
 
 After
 some
 more
 training
 Marcos
 became
 our
 regional
 leader,
 serving
 with
 his
 wife
 Késsia.
 Supported
by
his
pastor,
his
40M
class
Living
a
Life
of
 True
 Worship
 is
 thriving.
 Students
 see
 the
 inductive
 method
 as
 innovative
 and
 exactly
 what
 they
 need.
 Their
perspective
on
true
worship
and
their
worship
 itself
are
both
deepening
 
 The
 class
 has
 learned
 that
 praise
 and
 worship
 are
 two
 of
 Satan’s
 prime
 targets,
 so
 it’s
 important
 to
 apply
 this
 perspective
 to
 their
 lives
 every
 day.
 The
 study
has
motivated
and
encouraged
them
to
achieve
 this
high
level
of
whole‐hearted
worship.
Before
this
 study
 many
 of
 them
 did
 not
 attend
 Sunday
 school,
 but
now
they
see
the
value
of
regularly
participating
 in
 a
 systematic
 inductive
 study
 of
 the
 whole
 counsel
 of
God.
This
class
will
be
the
launching
pad
to
expand
 to
 the
 whole
 region
 of
 the
 Foursquare
 Church
 in
 the
 Minas
Gerais
state
of
Brazil.

Testimonies

O

ne
 of
 the
 ways
 I
 worship
 God
 is
 through
 choreographic
 dancing.
 I
 have
 been
 part
 of
 this
 ministry
 for
 quite
 some
 time,
 but
 only
 after
 studying
 the
 book
 “Living
 a
 Life
 of
 True
 Worship”,
did
I
realize
the
importance
of
living
totally
 surrendered
to
God.
I
thought
that
to
be
a
Levite
was
 to
have
a
prominent
position
in
the
service
of
God
but
 after
 studying
 I
 understood
 that
 even
 someone
 cleaning
 the
 temple
 can
 be
 a
 Levite.
 I
 thank
 God
 for
 this
 opportunity,
 I
 want
 to
 continue
 to
 learn
 how
 to
 live
a
life
of
true
worship.

 
 Priscila Nunes Souza

This
 class
 was
 very
 important
 for
 my
 ministry,
 personal
 and
 daily
 life.
 Through
 this
 class
 I
 could
 better
 understand
 what
 it
 is
 to
 praise
 and
 worship;
 not
only
this,
but
what
God
wants
from
me
and
what
I
 am
supposed
to
do.
This
study
taught
me
to
live
a
life
 of
true
worship
to
God;
it
increased
and
is
increasing
 more
 and
 more
 my
 intimacy
 and
 love
 for
 the
 Father
 each
day.
Now,
I
know
and
can
understand
the
call
of
 God
in
my
life.
I
praise
the
Lord
for
the
opportunity
to
 be
part
of
this
class
and
the
inductive
study.

parallels
between
everything
that
was
in
the
 tabernacle
with
the
coming
of
Jesus
and
His
works;
 what
a
beautiful
and
perfect
revelation!
This
study
 has
helped
me
much
in
understanding
the
value
of
 prayer
and
dedication
in
my
daily
life,
leading
me
to
 actually
practice
what
I
have
learned
in
my
everyday
 life.
I
give
glory
to
God
for
having
had
this
wonderful
 experience.
May
God
bless
this

“The
privilege
of
being
a
 worshiper
is
not
to
be
noticed,
 but
to
be
a
servant”

Our
study
in
the
Worshipers
class
has
been
very
 important
to
my
spiritual
life.
It
has
shown
me
that
 worship
goes
beyond
singing
or
dancing
it
is
a
way
of
 life,
living
for
the
purpose
of
glorifying
God.
I
learned
 that
to
be
a
Levite
is
above
all
to
serve
and
sacrifice
 my
desires
and
serve
Him
who
has
called
me!
 
 Fabiana Jesus Figueiredo 

 I
have
witnessed
to
several
people
about
the
things
 that
I
have
experienced
in
the
Worshippers
class.
The
 phrase
I
always
use
is:
‘It
has
been
a
pleasure!’
For
 me,
that
is
what
best
reflects
my
experience.

 Beyond
learning
the
theory
of
how
God
wants
to
be
 adored,
I've
experienced
real
moments
of
worship,
 where
the
presence
of
God
has
manifested
in
our
 midst.
I
am
being
sincere
when
I
say
that
out
of
all
the
 activities
that
I
have
participated
in
this
church,
 being

a
part
of
this
class
is
what
has
fulfilled
me
the
 most.
Glory
to
God
for
this
opportunity!

 
 Iara de Jesus Pinheiro 

 By
studying
the
book
“Living
A
Life
of
Real
Worship,
 I've
seen
how
wonderful
God's
plan
was
in
regards
to
 the
tabernacle
and
how
even
today
it
has
meaning
in
 our
lives.
I
am
loving
this
study,
this
journey
inside
 the
tabernacle
and
inside
my
own
life
as
well.
 I
have
seen
how
God
is
perfect
in
everything
and
how
 He
wants
us
to
be
so
for
Him,
as
well,
by
living
a
life
 of
holiness
and
worship.
I
have
also
been
noticing
the

There
are
not
many
words
to
describe
this
study,
but
 I
think
that
startling
and
supernatural
may
define
a
 little
of
what
it
has
been.
Through
this
class
we
 have
grown
in
knowledge
by
recognizing
 the
responsibility
and
value
of
being
a
Levite.
We
 have
learned
that
the
privilege
of
being
a
worshiper
 is
not
to
be
noticed,
but
to
be
a
servant,
faithful,
 obedient,
dedicated,
committed
and
passionate
about
 living
the
Word
of
God.
I
received
a
very
precious
gift
 of
God
through
this
study:
a
heart
motivated
to
be
a
 true
worshiper.
It
is
inexplicable
the
experiences
we
 have
lived
in
this
class,
a
real
moving
of
the
Holy
 Spirit;
classes
where
all
the
students
have
become
 prostrate
with
truth,
healing,
dreams
planted
in
 hearts
...I
have
also
had
the
privilege
of
being
called
 to
be
a
part
of
the
Praise
team
of
this
church,
and
I
 glorify
God
for
it
having
been
through
this
class
 because
I
do
not
see
myself
as
a
fully
prepared
 musician,
because
of
my
own
limitations,
but
I
can
 see
it
as
a
gift,
a
gift
from
God.
I
thank
the
Father
 for
the
opportunity
to
be
part
of
this
class,
and
for
all
 those
who
have
blessed
us
with
this
study.

Workshop

ARARAS
São
Paulo

G

od
 is
 always
 surprising
 us
 
with
blessings
that
we
never
 expected,
the
places
which
seem
 impossible
 and
 unfruitful
 He
 makes
 them
 to
 yield
 even
 more
 fruits
for
His
glory.
 
 Vanessa,
 a
 member
 of
 the
 Pentecostal
 Church
 of
 Christ
 in
 Araras
 city,
 wanted
 a
 more
 in
 depth
 study
 which
 would
 challenge
 her
 students
 to
 be
 in
 the
 Word
 of
 God
 so
 she
 contact
 us
 about
 a
 year
 ago,
 bought
the
“Having
a
Real
Relationship
with
God,”
40
 minutes
 book,
 and
 started
 a
 class
 with
 15
 students.
 She
 was
 so
 pleased
 with
 the
 results
 and
 in
 order
 to
 improve
 their
 studying
 skills
 she
 decided
 to
 go
 deeper
with
the
PUP
series
and
invited
us
to
be
there
 for
the
launch
of
the
class
and
do
a
2
Peter
workshop.

Prayer Requests *new pup class 2 Peter *teen’s class *for the new leaders that God is sure to raise up in Araras, Sp.

According
 to
 our
 recommendation
 she
 set
 up
 a
 date
 before
 the
 workshop
 for
 the
 initial
 markings
 of
 the
 text,
 and
 what
 at
 first
 would
 be
 just
 for
 the
 15
 students
 already
 enrolled
 to
 her
 surprise
 more
 than
 40
people
showed
up
for
this
first
class
including
the
 pastor
 who
 was
 so
 impressed
 that
 he
 asked
 the
 leadership
 of
 the
 satellites
 churches
 to
 come
 for
 the
 date
established
for
the
workshop.
 The
day
of
the
workshop
the
enemy
tried
to
scare
us
 off
 as
 we
 could
 not
 find
 the
 church
 where
 the
 workshop
would
take
place
but
amazingly
in
the
last
 minute
 we
 found
 a
 person
 who
 gave
 an
 exactly
 direction
 and
 we
 arrived
 on
 time
 to
 find
 more
 than
 50
 people
 waiting
 with
 enthusiasm
 to
 learn
 how
 to
 study
their
Bible
inductively.
God
blessed
immensely
 and
 the
 pastor
 and
 other
 leaders
 already
 extended
 the
 opportunity
 to
 the
 teenagers’
 class
 with
 50
 students
 they
 will
 be
 using

Lightning
Study
 What is lightning study? It is the easiest way to start to study inductively. I am sure you will like the studyand if you want to continue, you can study more about worship with our 40 minutes “Living a Life of True Woship,” a short study with great results. 
 After studying it for yourself it would be great to share what you have learned with others so why not start a study 
 group?

Psalms
95:1‐8
and
John
4:20‐24
 God
is
on
His
throne
and
we
as
His
servants
need
to
approach
Him
and
worship.
We
need
to
be
ready
 to
listen,
but
are
willing
to
do
it
His
way?
There
is
an
invitation
to
worship.
Will
you
answer
the
call?
If
 worshipping
God
is
so
important,
how
will
I
worship
God?
Is
it
possible
to
truly
worship
Him?

Follow
the
instructions
below
and
discover
for
yourself:
 
 Marque
Mark
God
and
the
corresponding
pronouns.

 Pense:
What
did
you
learn

marked

What
are
the
characteristics
of
God?
 

 
 Marque
Mark
“Let
us”


 Pense:
What
did
you
learn
as
you
marked
“Let
us”?
We
are
being
called
to
do
what?

 
 
 Marque
Mark
worship
and
worshipers
 Pense:
Who
would
you
worship?
Is
He
worthy
of
worshipping
and
why?

 
 
 
 Marque
What
did
you
learn
as
you
marked
the
phrase
“spirit
and
truth”
 Pense:
Who
should
you
worship
in
this
way?
The
ones
who
worship
in
this
manner
are
called?

 
 
 Now
that
you
know
who
and
how
to
worship
take
some
time,
and
using
the
Psalm
and
the
passage
you
 studied,
and
worship
your
God
who
is
worthy
to
be
worshiped.

O
come,
let

salvation.

Let
us
come
before
His
presence
with
thanksgiving,
Let
us
shout
joyfully
to
 Him
with
psalms.

For
the
Lord
is
a
great
God
and
a
great
King
above
all
gods,
 4
In
whose
hand
are
the
depths
of
the
earth,
the
peaks
of
the
mountains
are
 His
also.

The
sea
is
His,
for
it
was
He
who
made
it,
and
His
hands
formed
the
dry
 land.
 6
Come,
let
us
worship
and
bow
down,
let
us
kneel
before
the
Lord
our
 Maker
 7
For
He
is
our
God,
and
we
are
the
people
of
His
pasture
and
the
sheep
of
 His
hand.
Today,
if
would
hear
His
voice,

Do
not
harden

hearts,

as
in

of
Massah
in

wilderness.
 
 John
4:

 20
Our
fathers
worshipped
in
this
mountain,
and
you
people
say
that
in
 Jerusalem
is
the
place
where
men
ought
to
worship.
 21
Jesus
said
to
her:
“Woman,
believe
Me,
an
hour
is
coming
when
neither
in
 this
mountain
nor
in
Jerusalem
will
you
worship
the
Father.
 22
You
worship
what
you
do
not
know;
we
worship
what
we
know,
for
 salvation
is
from
the
Jews.
 23
But
an
hour
is
coming,
and
now
is,
when
the
true
worshipers
will
 worship
the
Father
in
spirit
and
truth;
for
such
people
the
Father
seeks
to
be
 His
worshipers.
 24
God
is
spirit,
and
those
who
worship
Him
must
worship
in
spirit
and
 truth.”

been
to
one
of
our
many
 workshops
and
have
been
blessed,
share
with
your
 friends
and
think
about
starting
your
own
small
 study
group
that
way
you
will
not
only
be
helping
 us,
but
you
will
also
be
taking
the
Word
of
God
to
 many.
Remember
that
another
way
to
help
us
is
by
 communicating
to
us
any
new
groups
so
that
we
 can
help
guide
others
to
them.

Resource
 for
Teachers
 Book:
James
“Boy,
Have
I
Got
Problems”
 Project:
Newsletter

T

here
 are
 several
 ways
 you
 can
 increase
 the
 learning
 of
 the
 children
 as
 they
 go
 through
 the
 book
 and
 following
 is
 a
 wonderful
example
to
enhance
their
abilities
to
express
themselves
and
also
the
opportunity
to
see
how
does
an
article
 is
built
up
for
a
magazine.
The
process
stimulates
them
also
to
do
better
next
time
in
order
to
participate
and
helps
the
 teacher
to
see
their
main
needs
and
areas
of
improvement.
Below,
our
southern
region
coordinator,
Milton,
gives
details
about
 this
newsletter
project
which
he
implemented.

 
 “The
name
of
this
newsletter
came
from
a
drawing
by
one
of
our
students.
The
students
responded
to
letters
from
others
 needing
advice
by
using
the
book
of
James.
They
wrote
and
drew
out
the
problems
as
a
manner
of
clarifying
the
problem
 to
the
readers.
The
problems
they
received
were
real
or
imaginary,
but
all
of
the
ones
included
in
this
newsletter
are
real
 problems
 brought
 by
 the
 students.
 Many
 of
 the
 problems
 were
 not
 included
 because
 they
 were
 resolved
 during
 the
 execution
 of
 this
 project
 and
 others
 were
 left
 out
 from
 print
 to
 protect
 those
 involved
 in
 the
 dilemmas.
 
 There
 two
 problems
chosen
were
the
most
frequently
cited
(drugs
and
violence).
Because
of
the
quantity
of
letters
collected
during
a
 school‐year,
it
is
impossible
to
include
them
all
without
raising
the
cost
of
production.
The
format
is
a
magazine
format
 where
there
are
editors,
reader
responses
and
illustrations.
The
paper
used
in
printing
was
high
quality,
to
motivate
the
 students
to
produce
better
writing
and
illustrations
for
the
following
editions.
You
can
solicit
the
students
to
keep
their
 writing
to
a
minimum
in
order
to
gain
space
and
reduce
the
size
of
the
magazine,
but
always
ask
them
to
maintain
good
 quality
 writing
 to
 elevate
 the
 quality
 of
 the
 magazine.
 In
 the
 classroom,
 the
 focus
 was,
 be
 it
 written
 or
 drawn,
 asking
 questions
from
the
book
of
James,
the
advice,
the
solution
and
basic
questions.
We
followed
the
sequencing
of
the
book
 “Boy,
Have
I
got
Problems,”
having
it
as
a
constant
guideline.
