56:1 Cap. 54 - Pregatiti-va pentru slujire 56:2 Avand in vedere lumina pe care ne-a dat-o Dumnezeu, este uimitor ca nu sunt initiative ale tinerilor care sa intrebe: "Doamne, ce ai vrea sa fac?" Este o greseala periculoasa sa ne imaginam ca, in cazul in care un tanar se hotaraste sa se dedice pastoratiei, nu este necesar nici un efort special pentru ca el sa fie potrivit pentru lucrarea lui Dumnezeu. Oricare ar fi chemarea voastra, este esential sa va dezvoltati calitatile prin studiu sarguincios. Tinerii si tinerele ar trebui indemnati sa aprecieze ocaziile binecuvantate trimise de cer pentru a deveni disciplinati si inteligenti. Ei ar trebui sa beneficiieze de avantajul scolilor care au fost infiintate avand ca scop suprem dobandirea celor mai bune cunostinte. Este considerat pacat sa fii indolent si neglijent cu privire la educatie. Timpul este scurt si, pentru ca Domnul este aproape sa vina pentru a trage cortina peste scena istoriei acestui pamant, este atat de necesar sa imbunatatiti si sa valorificati socaziile si privilegiile prezente. 56:3 Consacra-ti abilitatea lui Dumnezeu 56:4 Tinerii si tinerele ar trebui sa mearga la scolile noastre, acolo unde pot dobandi cunostinte si unde pot invata sa fie disciplinati. Ar trebui sa-si consacre abilitatile lui Dumnezeu, sa devina cercetatori sarguinciosi ai Bibliei, pentru a nu fi dusi in eroare de cei nelegiuiti; pentru ca, numai printr-o studiere staruitoare a Bibliei, vor dobandi cunostinta 56:5 adevarului. Prin practicarea adevarului deja cunoscut, o lumina mai mare va straluci asupra noastra din Sfintele Scripturi... 56:6 Cei care sunt cu adevarat consacrati lui Dumnezeu nu vor intra in lucrare animati de aceleasi motive pentru care oamenii se angajeaza intr-o afacere lumeasca doar de dragul de a-si castiga existenta, ci, dimpotriva, nepermitand nici unei consideratii lumesti sa-i controleze, vor intra in lucrare sfintenia cauzei lui Dumnezeu. 56:7 Pregatirea pentru ceea ce va veni 56:8 Lumea trebuie avertizata si nici un suflet nu ar trebui sa se multumeasca cu o cunoastere superficiala a adevarului. Nu stiti la ce responsabilitate veti fi chemati. Nu stiti unde ati putea fi chemati sa depuneti marturie despre adevar. Multi vor trebui sa depuna marturie in tribunale, altii vor trebui sa stea in fata regilor sau in fata invatatilor acestui pamant si sa raspunda pentru credinta lor. 56:9 Cei care au doar o intelegere superficiala a adevarului nu vor fi capabili sa expuna cu claritate Scripturile si sa poata oferi motive clare pentru credinta lor. Vor deveni confuzi si nu vor fi lucratori care nu au de ce sa le fie rusine. Nimeni sa nu-si imagineze ca nu are nevoie de studiu, pentru ca nu trebuie sa predice de la amvon. Nu stiti ce ar putea cere Dumnezeu de la voi. 56:10 Este trist faptul ca inaintarea cauzei lui Dumnezeu este franata de lipsa de lucratori educati, care sa corespunda pentru pozitii de incredere. Domnul va accepta mii care sa lucreze in marele Sau seceris, dar multi au esuat in a se pregati pentru lucrare. Dar toti cei care s-au consacrat 56:11 cauzei lui Hristos, care s-au oferit voluntari ca soldati in ostirea lui Hristos, ar trebui sa se angajeze in lucrarea la care sunt cel mai bine pregatiti. Religia a insemnat prea putin pentru urmasii declarati ai lui Hristos. Dar nu este dorinta lui Dumnezeu ca cineva sa ramana ignorant, cand intelepciunea si cunostinta au fost date din belsug. - FE 216,217 56:12 ___________ 56:13 Echilibrati de principii corecte 56:14 Nu este adevarat ca intotdeauna tinerii sclipitori au succese marete. Cat de adesea oameni talentati si educati, plasati in pozitii de incredere, nu s-au dovedit necorespunzatori si au esuat. Stralucirea lor avea aparenta aurului, dar, cand a fost incercat, s-a dovedit a fi doar tinichea si zgura. Prin lipsa de credinciosie, ei au contribuit la propria cadere. Ei nu au fost harnici si perseverenti si nu s-au indreptat spre esenta lucrurilor. Nu au fost dispusi sa inceapa de la baza scarii si, cu rabdare si truda, sa urce treapta dupa treapta, pana vor ajunge in varf. Ei au umblat dupa bunul lor plac. Nu au depins de intelepciunea pe care numai Dumnezeu o poate da. Esecul lor nu s-a datorat faptului ca nu au avut nici o sansa, ci pentru ca nu au fost echilibrati. Ei nu au simtit ca avantajele educatiei erau valoroase pentru ei, astfel ca nu au avansat asa cum ar fi putut in cunoasterea religiei si a stiintei. Mintea si caracterul lor nu au fost echilibrate de inaltele principii ale binelui. - FE 193 |

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).
