How To Share Your Faith With Your Friends

Leave a comment

Do you really love your friends if you don’t tell them about Jesus?

So I tell you today that I am not guilty if any of you don’t believe. I haven’t let anyone keep me from telling you everything God wants you to do.

Acts 20:26-27
My little daughter’s friend was playing at our home one day. Suddenly, I shouted “no!” and she burst into tears. Why? She was about to put a fork into a nearby electrical outlet. I hated to upset her, but her little life was too precious to risk, and her parents trusted me to protect her.

Are your friends precious to you? Do you know that God holds us responsible for one another? He tells us, “If I warn the wicked, saying, ‘You are under the penalty of death,’ but you fail to deliver the warning, they will die in their sins. And I will hold you responsible for their deaths.” (Ezekiel 3:18) If worries are keeping you from sharing your faith with your friends, these simple ideas can help overcome those fears:

Be Prepared
Think about how a discussion might go. You can’t expect to agree on everything, can you? A former U.S. President said, “If two men agree on everything, you may be sure that one of them is doing the thinking.” Don't be afraid to disagree sometimes, especially about important things. Be ready to share hope with others. (1 Peter 3:15) God tells us to make a stand, “having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace;” (Ephesians 6:15). Valuing friends means even more than this…

Be Compelling
It is good to memorize a gospel presentation, so that you include all the main points. But don't just repeat the words. Tell your friend that this news is too good to keep to yourself. Jesus said, “go out to the highways and hedges and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled.” (Luke 14:23). Don’t give up easily – and don’t be afraid to let your urgency show.

Be Creative
A standard approach may help with a stranger. But if you know someone well, share in a way that will relate best to them. “And have mercy on those who are wavering—save them by snatching them out of the fire; but on others have mercy with fear—hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.” (Jude 1:22-23). Starting gently works best for some, while a warning about judgment works better for others.

Sharing Jesus with your friends can bring discomfort for a moment. But don’t let it keep you from telling them about God's love for them. Imagine the joy of seeing them embrace Jesus – or the regret of knowing you kept your hope a secret, locked behind silent lips.

Pray this week:
Lord Jesus, the love that sent you to the cross for my friend is the only hope he or she has. Please prepare me to bring that message, and prepare him or her to hear and receive it.

If a building was on fire, would anything keep you from warning those within? If a cure for a deadly disease was available, would you keep it secret? What keeps you from speaking to others about Jesus?

Bitcoin won’t Break 9000 this year says Mike Novogratz

Bitcoin won’t Break $9000 this year says Mike Novogratz

One of the most prominent Bitcoin bull, Billionaire and CEO of Galaxy Digital Firm Mike Novogratz has turned short-term bearish, suggesting that Bitcoin will not break $9000 by this year end.

Speaking at Economist’s Finance Disrupted 2018 conference in Manhattan, 3rd October Novogratz suggested that he doesn’t see much chances of Bitcoin breaking the current ‘slump’ CNBC Reports.

He said:

“I don’t think it breaks $9,000 this year”

 

Novogratz had told that Bitcoin had bottomed in September when it was in the range of $6300-$6400, however, he still does not see Bitcoin breaking the $10000 mark by the end of this year.

The hedge fund Titan has always been bullish on Bitcoin, even before the bull run in 2017. At the time he had predicted that Bitcoin could hit $40000 easily by the end of 2018.

He expects the FOMO rally to happen anytime after the second quarter of 2019 driven by institutional investors this time instead of retail investors. We know that products like Bakkt are going to launch this year end which will make it easier for institutions to set foot in this industry.

 

one Vays criticized Novogratz for creating unrealistic expectations, Vays Tweeted:

Soooo, this is interesting, I have been going against @novogratz everytime he was in the news pumping #Bitcoin but how to be contrarian now?

My Take: "He is under pressure from investors on his losing $BTCUSD / #crypto position & needs to now creat 'realistic' expectations" pic.twitter.com/oDusRDcoPd

 

— Tone Vays [@Bitcoin] (@ToneVays) October 3, 2018

Novogratz has been actively working on building the infrastructure in the Crypto ecosystem, Novogratz’s Galaxy Digital management partnered with Bloomberg earlier this year to create a Cryptocurrency index benchmark.

 

Blockmanity’s Take

Bitcoin had an insane rally back in December-January which was clearly driven by a lot of speculation and the market has undergone a correction of over 70% after that which is only natural. It is not easy for anyone to predict the exact timing of these market cycle and how exactly it will play out. One should do their own due diligence and have a basic understanding of the asset class before investing and not take any one person’s word to determine how the markets will play out.

Are You Ready to Share Your Faith?

Don't let the moment pass you by.

Written by GodLife on 25/09/2018

…, pray also for us that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ…

Colossians 4:3
Following the Spirit of God includes having conversations about Jesus. How do we go about having a conversation about spiritual matters with someone we do not know? When we bring up the subject, we are using a bridge to open that door. Have you ever missed an opportunity?

One summer at my teenage son’s ball game, I noticed a friend I had not seen since college. As we sat together and visited, I was urged in my spirit to bring up the subject of Christ and to present the Gospel to her, but fear of rejection kept me silent. Later that winter, she was involved in an unfortunate accident that resulted in the death of her and her daughter. 

Are you willing?
In Acts 8:26-40, Philip was instructed by an angel to go south on the road from Jerusalem to Gaza in the desert. As he traveled, the Spirit told Philip to approach an Ethiopian Eunuch who was reading. Philip obeyed and asked the Eunuch a question: “Do you understand what you are reading?” The Eunuch replied, “How can I, but that some man should guide me.” Philip was then invited to attempt to guide him. Philip was willing, following, trusting, and ready. He already knew the subject, and he didn’t go in his own power. Finally, he had a divine appointment. If God used Philip, it makes sense that Jesus would use you too and empower you.

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:9)

In our daily interactions with strangers we should be willing to follow the Spirit, who will lead us into situations to share our faith. Are you willing? 

How can I do this? 
How can you move into a conversation about Jesus? A good start is by being helpful to others. Make their job easier and be appreciative. Be friendly. Reaching out to people in the service industry that help us or that check us out at the store can be very easy! But first we must pray.

“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:34-35)

Why not ask questions or make comments with a smile? For example: 

How can I pray for you today? Or If there was one thing I could pray for you, what would it be? 
I was wondering when you attend church, where do you attend? 
The Bible says a workman is worth his hire. You have done a great job. 
You are an answer to prayer (if they really were). I believe in prayer. What about you?
I can only find peace in one place when I am stressed out. 
Be ready and be on mission like Philip wanting all to be saved and none to be lost. Jesus prayed for us that the love the Father had for Him would be in us (John 17:26), and we must allow it to propel us out of ourselves and our fears to be spent on others. We must remember that hell and the wrath of God are real, and Jesus is the only way to escape. Love like Jesus. 

Dealing with Rejection
If your words are rejected – it’s not you who were rejected, but Christ (Luke 10:16). Either way, you have been obedient. The results of your efforts are up to the Lord! He alone gives the increase, but he tells us all to plant and to reap. Do not forget to thank the Lord for the opportunity to be used, pray for that person and thank Him for more to come. 

“And have mercy on those who doubt; save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear; hating even the garment stained by the flesh.” (Jude 1:22-23)

I encourage you to love others more than yourself and be obedient to the leading of the Spirit. Pray to be bold and to be filled with love for the souls of others.

Pray this week:
Lord, Please, guide me and use me. I will love, and I will go, and I will speak. Amen.

God loves you. Are you ready to love others? How can you do this?

Bitcoin BTCUSD Long-Term Triangle Break Soon

Leave a comment

Bitcoin BTC/USD Long-Term Triangle Break Soon

Bitcoin BTC/USD Long-Term Triangle Break Soon

 

Bitcoin has tumbled back to the bottom of its triangle consolidation pattern visible on the daily time frame but might be due for a break soon. The price is near the peak of its triangle after all, so it would need to pick a longer-term direction from here.

The 100 SMA is below the longer-term 200 SMA on this daily time frame to hint that the path of least resistance is to the downside. In other words, a break lower is more likely to happen than an upside breakout. In that case, Bitcoin could slump by the same height as the chart pattern, which spans $5,800 to $10,000.

Stochastic is pointing down, also indicating that sellers have the upper hand. This oscillator is just making its way out of the overbought zone, which means that there’s plenty of time for bears to stay in control. RSI appears to be treading sideways, reflecting current range-bound conditions and barely offering directional clues.

Bitcoin appears to have shed its gains on reports that the only Bitcoin investment trust is deeply in the red. Shares of Grayscale Bitcoin Investment Trust (GBTC) are down roughly 80% since price peaked late last year, hardly encouraging news for new investors.

Nonetheless, analysts believe that a big rally might be in order as the Lightning Network shows more signs of growth. This allows a layer to be built on top of the blockchain in order to process smaller transactions. This also speeds up processing while maintaining network security. For many, this could aid in the mainstream adoption of Bitcoin, thereby shoring up volumes and activity in the long run.

However, investors appear to be holding out for an actual positive development to break price out of its long-term consolidation and sustain any potential gains. Many had hoped it would be the SEC decision on Bitcoin ETF applications but the regulator has simply extended the comment period so far.

Investing in NagriTech

NagriTech had a successful initial token sale until the start of September 2018. The token representing the company (NagriCoin), will be traded on free markets with the requirements of KYC/AML.

Jesus calls us to be different from the world while making a difference in the world

Jesus calls us to be different from the world, while making a difference in the world.

Written by Joy on 15/08/2015
Series: Weekly Devotional
“(Jesus praying) My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one….As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.’” John 17:15,18

How can we make a difference in our culture today? Jesus says He is sending us into the world, as He himself was sent. What are we being sent to do? What was Jesus’ mission?

To Seek and Save the Lost (Luke 19:10)
Jesus came for one reason: to provide salvation through His death and resurrection. He did not come to give political freedom and rights, but spiritual freedom from sin. He came to give us spiritual victory over death and the treasure of Eternal Life with God, not to give financial success or health in this life. He did not come for only those religious people who follow the rules, but he was known for spending time with "sinners." “But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” (Matthew 9:13).

This means we too must go out looking for sinners (Ecclesiastes 7:20) who need to hear about the love and mercy of Jesus.

To Save, Not to Condemn (John 3:17)
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works so that no one can boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9). When we boast, we make ourselves seem superior because of our morals. Unbelievers only see someone who is acting holy and judging them; caring only about rules and details. They don't see Jesus. Jesus commanded us to preach the Gospel, (Mark 16:15, Romans 1:16-17) not just to get sinners to change their moral behavior.

To Show God’s Love (John 3:16)
“This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” (1 John 4:9, 11).

This is the only message that has the power to change our culture: Love. Our prophecy, teaching and good works are worthless without love (1 Corinthians 13). “True love Is patient, and kind, not boastful, proud or rude…not rejoicing in wrong-doing, but rejoicing in the truth.” (1 Corinthians 13:4-6). Beware, of the world's definition of love: extreme tolerance. “Instead, we speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ…” (Ephesians 4:15)

Pray this week:
God, help me stay on your mission of love and salvation through Jesus Christ; help me to change my culture by changing lives through the Gospel. Give me chances to share your truth in love.

What kind of freedom does God wnat you to have?

Bitcoin BTC Still Stuck in Consolidation Breakout Soon?

Leave a comment

Bitcoin (BTC) Still Stuck in Consolidation, Breakout Soon?

Bitcoin (BTC) Still Stuck in Consolidation, Breakout Soon?
 

Bitcoin Price Key Highlights

  • Bitcoin price is still stuck inside its triangle consolidation pattern on the 1-hour time frame.

  • Price is nearing the peak of its formation so a breakout could take place soon.

  • Technical indicators are still giving mixed signals on which direction the breakout might go.

Bitcoin price is nearing the peak of its consolidation pattern, which means that a breakout is bound to happen soon.
 

Technical Indicators Signals

The 100 SMA is above the longer-term 200 SMA for now to indicate that the path of least resistance is to the upside. In other words, support is more likely to hold than to break or an upside break might be more likely than a breakdown. In that case, bitcoin price could be looking at a rally that’s at least the same height as the chart formation, which spans $6,100 to $7,300.

Stochastic is heading higher so bitcoin price could also follow suit while buyers have the upper hand. However, the oscillator is nearing overbought levels to indicate bullish exhaustion and a possible return in selling pressure. RSI, meanwhile, is cruising sideways to reflect consolidation. The moving averages have also been consolidating to signal range-bound conditions.

Bitcoin (BTC) Still Stuck in Consolidation, Breakout Soon?

Bitcoin price has had a slew of positive developments in the previous week to keep it supported but investors seem to be holding out for more catalysts to sustain a climb this time. Momentum has been on bitcoin’s side but it would still need a few more positive developments to draw more buyers in.

The launch of bitcoin futures on ICE could bring volumes in, but keep in mind that CME futures were being blamed for the drop in bitcoin price late last year. After all it would allow investors to take short bets on the digital asset, possibly taking it for a break below consolidation onto new lows.

Bitcoin BTC Price Analysis – Bulls Stay In Control

Leave a comment

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis - Bulls Stay In Control

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis – Bulls Stay In Control

Bitcoin is still inside its symmetrical triangle but continues to trend higher short-term.

BITCOIN PRICE ANALYSIS

Bitcoin still seems to be stuck inside its symmetrical triangle consolidation on the 4-hour chart but continues to climb inside a rising channel on the shorter-term time frames. Price is pulling back to the channel support and a bounce could take it up to the resistance.

The 100 SMA is below the longer-term 200 SMA, though, so the path of least resistance is to the downside. In other words, the selloff is more likely to resume than to reverse. Then again, the gap between the two is narrowing to signal that bearish pressure is slowing and that an upward crossover could be due.

In that case, bullish momentum could pick up and take price past the top of the channel and triangle around $6,800. Note that the triangle spans around $2,500 in height so the resulting uptrend could be of at least the same size.

Stochastic is pointing back up to indicate the return of bullish momentum without even seeing oversold conditions. RSI is treading sideways to signal consolidation but seems to be crawling slightly higher as well. If resistance holds, however, bitcoin could slump back to the triangle bottom at $6,200.

Bitcoin Price Starting to Reverse 2 Catalysts Will Drive it Higher in 2018

Bitcoin Price Starting to Reverse, 2 Catalysts Will Drive it Higher in 2018

Bitcoin Price Starting to Reverse, 2 Catalysts Will Drive it Higher in 2018

Throughout 2018, Bitcoin has continued to record lower highs, testing major resistance levels at $10,000, $8,000 and $7,000. According to Fundstrat’s Tom Lee, the stability of Bitcoin at $6,000 regardless of its lower highs is optimistic.

In early 2018, Fundstrat emphasized in a report that the $6,000 level will likely be held by Bitcoin in the mid-term because it is the breakeven point for miners. That means, miners that utilize electricity and mining equipment to verify transactions on the Bitcoin network can still generate some profit if the price of Bitcoin stays above the $6,000 level.

Lee explained on Bloomberg that the stability of BTC at the $6,000 mark and two major catalysts awaiting BTC in the year end could push the price of BTC up substantially within the next two months.

Bitcoin daily price chart on September 30, provided by Coincap.io

“$6,000 is a level that is more important than we realized. Earlier this year, we were pointing $6,000 as breakeven for Bitcoin mining so that level should hold. The fact Bitcoin is holding here is very good news. I think there are catalysts in the year end so I think despite the lower highs we’ve seen I think we’re starting to reverse,” Lee said.
 

What are the Two Catalysts?

According to Lee, two major factors will contribute to the increase in the price of BTC by the end of the year: strengthening infrastructure of the cryptocurrency exchange market and fear of missing out (FOMO) amongst institutional investors.

Over the past few months, Bakkt, a cryptocurrency exchange created by ICE, Starbucks, and Microsoft, has been building the first regulation-focused platform that primarily aims to operate as a trusted custodian and brokerage for large-scale investors.

Eventually, with the entrance of major investment banks and solid products offered by Bakkt, Lee stated that institutions will have the ability to enter the market.

But, echoing the sentiment of billionaire investor Mike Novogratz who previously stated that institutions will likely not commit to the crypto market until Bitcoin surpasses major resistance levels at $8,800 and $10,000, Lee emphasized that Bitcoin will have to show some recovery in its price before it appeals to many institutions.

“I think there is a few. One, this new exchange called ICE Bakkt will be launched. It is going to be really one of the first regulated exchanges. I think around that, there is working being done by these major investment banks to build products to support it or work with it. I think institutions are waiting to be involved,” he said.

How Will Bitcoin End 2018?

In early 2018, Lee reaffirmed his price target of $25,000 per BTC. The cryptocurrency market is quickly approaching the end of 2018 and it is becoming increasing unlikely for the dominant cryptocurrency to reach an all-time high by the end of the year.

Still, given the stability of BTC at $6,000 since late July, it is possible for the asset to show strength and momentum by November and December, a period in which the cryptocurrency market historically tend to record large gains.
