108:1 Cap. 106 - Economie si generozitate 108:2 Multi dispretuiesc economia confundand-o cu zgarcenia si ingustimea de caracter. Insa economia se armonizeaza cu cea mai mare generozitate. Intr-adevar, fara economie nu poate exista o darnicie veritabila. Avem datoria de a economisi pentru a putea darui. 108:3 Nimeni nu poate da dovada de o bunavointa reala fara tagaduire de sine. Numai printr-o viata caracterizata prin simplitate, tagaduire de sine si economie stricta ne va fi cu putinta sa implinim lucrarea ce ne-a fost incredintata ca reprezentanti ai lui Hristos. Mandria si ambitia lumeasca trebuie alungate din inimile noastre. In toata lucrarea noastra, trebuie pus in practica principiul altruismului descoperit in viata lui Hristos. Pe peretii caminelor noastre, pe tablouri si pe mobilier trebuie sa citim:"Si adu in casa ta pe nenorocitii fara adapost". Trebuie sa vedem scris pe garderoba noastra ca si cu degetul lui Dumnezeu, "imbraca-i pe cei goi". In sufragerie, pe masa incarcata cu mancare imbelsugata, ar trebui sa vedem inscris: "Imparte-ti painea cu cel flamand!" 108:4 Usi deschise pentru a fi de folos 108:5 Inaintea noastra se afla o mie de usi prin care putem fi de folos. Adesea noi ne plangem de resursele sarace de care dispunem, dar, daca ar fi cu adevarat sinceri, crestinii si-ar putea inmulti mijloacele de o mie de ori. Egoismul, ingaduinta de sine sunt cele care stau in calea folosului pe care l-am putea aduce. 108:6 Cat de multe cheltuieli se fac pentru lucruri care nu sunt altceva decat idoli care ne acapareaza gandurile, timpul 108:7 si taria ce ar trebui folosite pentru un scop mai inalt! Cat de multi bani sunt irositi pe case si mobilier scump, pe placeri egoiste, pe o hrana sofisticata si daunatoare, pe ingaduinte vatamatoare! Cat de mult se arunca in vant pe daruri care nu sunt de folos nimanui! Cei care marturisesc ca sunt crestini cheltuiesc pe lucruri inutile, adesea vatamatoare, mai mult, de multe ori mai mult decat cheltuiesc pentru salvarea de suflete din mana ispititorului. 108:8 Multi care marturisesc ca sunt crestini cheltuiesc atat de mult pe imbracaminte, incat nu le mai ramane nimic pentru nevoile altora. Ei cred ca trebuie sa aiba podoabe costisitoare, indiferent de nevoile acelora care-si pot procura cu greutate chiar si cea mai simpla imbracaminte. 108:9 Strangeti firimiturile 108:10 Surorile mele, daca veti face in asa fel incat modul vostru de a va imbraca sa fie conform cu regulile date in Biblie, veti avea din belsug cu ce sa le ajutati pe surorile voastre mai sarace. Nu veti avea numai mijloace, ci si timp. Adesea acesta este cel mai necesar. Sunt multi pe care i-ati putea ajuta cu sugestiile, tactul si priceperea voastra. Ara-tati-le cum sa se imbrace simplu si totusi cu gust. Multe femei nu calca in casa lui Dumnezeu pentru ca hainele lor saracacioase, croite prost sunt intr-un contrast izbitor cu imbracamintea altora. Multe suflete sensibile nutresc un simtamant de umilinta amara si nedreptatire din pricina acestui contrast. Si din aceasta cauza, multi ajung sa se indoiasca de adevarul religiei si sa-si impietreasca inimile fata de Evanghelie. 108:11 Hristos ne indeamna: "Adunati firimiturile care 108:12 raman, ca sa nu se piarda nimic". In vreme ce mii de oameni pier in fiecare zi de foame, din pricina varsarii de sange, incendiilor si molimelor, este potrivit ca oricine gandeste la fel ca Isus sa aiba grija sa nu se piarda nimic, sa nu se cheltuiasca nimic in mod inutil, nimic din ceea ce ar putea fi de folos unei fiinte omenesti. 108:13 Este rau sa ne irosim timpul, est rau sa ne irosim gandurile. Fiecare moment pe care-l consacram lacomiei este pierdut. Daca fiecare clipa ar fi pretuita si folosita corect, ar trebui sa avem timp pentru tot ceea ce este nevoie sa facem pentru noi sau pentru lume. Cand cheltuieste bani, cand foloseste timpul, taria, ocaziile, fiecare crestin sa priveasca spre Dumnezeu dupa calauzire. "Daca vreunuia dintre voi ii lipseste intelepciunea, s-o ceara de la Dumnezeu, care da tuturor cu mana larga si fara mustrare, si ea ii va fi data." - MH 206-208 108:14 _________ 108:15 Cum sa economisim 108:16 Nu este necesar sa specificam aici cum poate fi pusa practica economisirea in fiecare caz particular. Cei ale caror inimi sunt pe deplin predate lui Dumnezeu si care fac din Cuvantul Sau o calauza pentru viata lor vor sti ce atitudine sa adopte in toate indatoririle pe care viata li le pune inainte. Ei vor invata de la Isus care are o inima milostiva si plina de umilinta si cultivand aceasta bunatate a lui Hristos ei vor inchide usa ispitelor fara numar ale lui Satana. - FE 152 108:17 SECTIUNEA a XI-a 108:18 Viata de familie 108:19 Refacerea si inaltarea omenirii incep in camin. Lucrarea parintilor sta la temelia oricarei alte lucrari. Societatea este formata din familii si ceea ce fac capii de familii din ea, aceea este. Din inima "ies izvoarele vietii"; iar inima societatii, a bisericii si a natiunii este caminul. Bunastarea societatii, succesul bisericii, prosperitatea natiunii depind de influentele caminului. -MH 349 |

Special note for ANDROID SmartPhones
I recommend to download PhoneMe emulator for Android from here.
Especially I recommend phoneME Advanced - Foundation Profile + MIDP High Resolution b168 rev20547 from here, or from here.
Then you have to build your application, to transfer the .jar and .jad files on your mobile phone and run using this nice emulator.
1. Install a Zip Utility from Android Market.
2. Install a File Manager from Android Market.
3. Download and install PhoneMe, as mentioned above.
4. Build your application by using Download Multilingual Service or Dynamic Download (zip).
5. Copy the zip file into your Android Phone and unzip the content in a folder, and then write down the path to the unzipped files and the name of the .jad file.
6. Launch PhoneMe from your smartphone.
7. Inside PhoneMe, write to the main window the path and the name to the .jad file, above mentioned. Will look something like: file:///mnt/sd/download/BiblePhone.jad and then press enter.
8. The application will be installed, and next a hyperlink will be available below the above mentioned textbox. On this way you can install as many of MIDP application you like on your Android Phone.
How to install the application in Java Mobile enabled phones
It is possible now to have the Holy Scriptures on your mobile phone and to read
it wherever you are due to the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP)
technology in 1.0 and 2.0 versions, developed for Java applications.
A good advice is to try in the beginning the MIDP 1.0 / 128 Kbytes version, and
progressively to advance to MIDP 2.0 and larger volumes (512 Kbytes or more).
The application is available for MIDP 2.0, MIDP 1.0. You have only to select one
table on the field MIDP2.0 or MIDP1.0, according to the desired Bible version.
Then, you shall make a click on the JAR (Java Archive) file in order to obtain
the software to be installed on your mobile phone.
I recommend you to start with STARTER(MIDP1.0old) edition, then to continue with
INTERMEDIATE(MIDP1.0), and in the end, if the mobile phone supports this thing,
to try to install the ADVANCED (MIDP2.0) edition. Also, start with 128 kbytes
volumes, continue with 512 kbytes, and at the end try the version in one file.
There are cases where the mobile phone requires so called JAD (Java Descriptor)
files. These JAD files has to be
uploaded, on this case, together with the desired JAR files(s).
There are different methods to download the applications in your mobile phone as
follows:
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
5. If none from the above cases are valid
Next, we shall examine each case in order to have a successfully installation of
the software.
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
If your have Internet access on your mobile phone (e.g. WAP or GPRS), it is
enough to access
https://biblephone.intercer.net/wap/ from the browser of the mobile phone,
and to access the desired Bible version, and then to make an option about
MIDP1.0 or MIDP2.0, and finally to select the desired module (e.g. one or more).
After the last selection, the desired version will be downloaded on your mobile
phone.
Many phones have only this option for installing JAVA appplications.
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
If you don't have access to Internet directly from your mobile phone, then you
shall have to pass to this step requiring to have infrared ports on your mobile
phone and on the computer.
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to activate the infrared port on the mobile phone and align it with the infrared
port of the computer (preferable laptop).
c. Then a window will appear asking what file you want to send to the mobile
phone. Next, you will select the downloaded JAR file, and after OK, the mobile
phone will ask you if you want to load that file. You say YES and the
application will be downloaded on your mobile phone.
d. Probably, you will be asked by the mobile phone where you want to save it (e.g.
on the games or applications directories). After you made this selection, the
file will be ready to be loaded for run.
The displaying preference can be set inside the application in order to have
larger fonts, full screen display etc.
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
This situation is similar with the infrared case. You have only to activate
Bluetooth access on your mobile phone (check if exists) and on the computer (check
if exists).
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific
mobile phones.
On this case the steps are as follows:
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to set up the wired connection between the mobile phone and the computer. Next,
you will start the synchronization / data transfer application and download the
JAR file in your mobile phone. Surely, you will have to consult the CD of your
mobile phone.
c. By this application you shall transfer into your mobile phone the JAR file in
the games or applications directories. Next, you will have to select for run the
JAR desired file.
5. If none from the above cases are valid
On this unhappy case, I recommend you to find a friend with a laptop having
infrared / Bluetooth capabilities, or to buy a data link cable, or to change
your current model of mobile phone.
Unfortunately, some models of mobile phones require only WAP/GPRS in order to
download and run Java applications.
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones. Therefore check the documentation of them and also the page for specific
models.
Why so many versions? Simple, because not all the mobile phones support the
Bible in one file with MIDP 2.0 (the most advanced for the time being).
