“Saved?” A Tract By PCAF Author for ICEA.


ICEA – Tract…Free for Your Use

 

Saved (Generic Tract)This user-friendly tract is created for PCAF members. The tract is inexpensive to have printed.  Customize this tract on the back page with your church name, address, pastor’s name, order of services, etc. You may print out the master tract, place your information on the back page (inside the blank box), and then scan into your computer. (Please do not alter any other contents in the tract.) Once you have scanned the tract into your computer, you may print out copies on your local computer or have copies made at your print shop.

Here are the following steps to print, let’s say, 100 tracts on your local printer. The master has two tracts set up on an 8.5 x 11 page, so you will print 50 tracts from page 1. Then, place your pages back into your printer the correct way in order to print an additional 50 pages on the opposite side, using page 2. Once you have the printing done, simply cut the pages in two to have a quantity of 100 tracts.

PLEASE CLICK ON THE TEXT BELOW TO
VIEW AND PRINT OUT THE TRACT:
Saved (Generic Tract II)

NOTE: The masters (page 1 and 2) have
two tracts printed on the same page.
Print them the way they are, on both sides,
then cut the 8.5 x 11 page in half
to give you double the quantity.

The Gateway to Humility


brown wooden door

TRANSFER TO HUMILITY
Many had confidence in their natural abilities as youth — who, years later — had found that their abilities is a gift from God (Judges 15:16; 16:25-30). Over the years, God makes them aware that He uses their gifts to His purpose and glory. God hones our skills. He teaches us how to transfer self-confidence in our innate abilities to a humble trust in Him.

EXAMPLES OF HUMILITY
Peter was a boisterous complicated leader of men, but God changed this author’s leadership style to one that resembled Christ’s (I Peter 2:21-23). According to tradition, Peter would display great humility toward the end of his life (John 21:18-19).

Moses was a young eloquent and confident individual (Acts 7:22), but when he became old he was the meekest man who claimed to have speech problems. God used him mightily in that state!

David was a great warrior who overthrew other nations, and yet he humbly confessed his need for God by looking to the hills (Ps. 121:1-2).

Christ was born in humble surroundings and in a little obscure town. He thought it not robbery to be equal with God, yet He humbled himself even to the cruel death on a cross (Phil. 2:7-9)!

John the Baptist was a bold, yet righteous man who never took honor for himself, but always sincerely pointed others to Christ (John 3:30).

The apostle Paul, with all his knowledge of the law and powerful intellectual abilities, went from a persecutor of Christians to a slave for God. He stated his ability to humble himself and trust in the strength of Christ (Phil. 4:5, 12-13).

TIME AND HUMILITY
It’s a fact that time should teach us humility! It’s unfortunate that so many don’t learn the lesson that both God and time continually present to us.
The whole concept of humility is easy for followers of Christ to understand, but can be hard to put into practice: “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” (Mt. 23:12 – Berean Study Bible). What a great promise for those who go through the time-tested gateway of humility!

Researching Our Pentecostal Apostolic History


Finding out where we have come from as Apostolics (outside of the bible) is not an easy task.

Have you ever wanted to know more about the history of Pentecostal revivals, former organizations, pioneers of Pentecost, materials and writings of founding fathers, and other questions about our past? Do you know why we are not only Pentecostal, but are Apostolic, as well?

There is a website that has answers and resources to many questions about who we are and where we have come from.

Check it out at http://www.apostolicarchives.com

(As with any source, we suggest you research and check with other
sources to verify the accuracy of the information on any website.)

PCAF – ETA Graduates from Michigan Who Couldn’t Make the National 2018


IMG_1860

Director Dea. Gene Claxton and The International Christian Education Auxiliary staff (ICEA) shared a wonderful dinner with ETA students from Michigan who were not able to make the national convention in Phoenix, AZ. (Three of the students were not able to attend.)

Dea. Claxton led the ceremony at the restaurant, which included the graduation song, processional, brief speech, and students receiving their certificates.

One of the students commented: “this study and certificate means more to me than the PhD I received!”
