Impacting Lives for Christ: Serving for His Glory and the Edification of Others

Christian service and ministry should glorify God and edify others. Glorifying God means our words and actions reflect positively on Him (1 Cor 10:31). Edifying others means we help and encourage them in their growth and development as Christian disciples (1 Th 5:11). Because we cannot live what we do not know, it’s imperative that we study the Bible for ourselves (2 Tim 2:15), and also benefit…

Crossroads of Calling: A Purposeful Return to Writing

There I was—at a crossroads. Do I shut down my blog? Repurpose it? Or keep going—how should I proceed? At the beginning of the year, I told my wife, Laura, “If I catch myself doom-scrolling or stumbling into impurity through the social media platforms where I share these posts, I’ll shut it all down.” I meant it. Before rejoining social media, I intentionally took time to examine my heart and…

The Systematic Theology of Eli of Kittim

Systematic theology is a discipline within Christian theology that attempts to synthesize a coherent account of the various doctrines of the Christian faith. It addresses what the Bible teaches about certain doctrines, such as the Word of God, Salvation, and Jesus Christ. Systematic theology is essentially trying to find the “truths” that were laid down in Scripture and to unify the different doctrines under these common truths or “facts.” The Bible urges all Christians to search the Scriptures (Acts 17:11) and to rightly handle the Word of truth (2 Tim. 2:15).

The study of systematic theology offsets our natural tendency to impose our own ideas on Scripture. And it gives us a deeper understanding of what we believe and why we believe it. So it helps us with doctrinal controversies, debates, and apologetics.

However, there are also potential confounds related to such studies because, in trying to formulate a system of theology, certain components may be "forced" into a structure, or even eliminated, in an attempt to maintain the coherence of the system. For example, the role of theology and bias in Bible translation has been addressed in numerous books and discussions. That’s why it is extremely important to get our Christology right! The doctrine of Christ is the beginning and the end of Christian systematic theology. If we don’t have a firm understanding of who Jesus is (i.e. his identity, as well as the timing of his coming), then we will inevitably misinterpret the rest of the Scriptures, and our systematic theology will ultimately be based on confirmation bias rather than objective “truth.”

In this regard, Eli of Kittim’s special revelation and biblical scholarship help us to understand the Scriptural teachings with regard to the person of Christ. The most significant aspects of the doctrine of Christ are his origin and timing. That is to say, Kittim focuses on two key questions. Who is Jesus? And when is the timing of his coming? The answers to these questions inform the rest of Kittim’s systematic theology.

Although Eli of Kittim specializes in Eschatology, he has written on various topics related to Systematic theology, such as Bibliology, Hamartiology, Christology, Soteriology, and Theology proper. But his greatest contribution is his translation and exegesis of Biblical Greek, as well as his emphasis on the Priority of the Epistles. That’s because Kittim’s research has unravelled the mystery of Jesus’ story by focusing exclusively on the Greek New Testament Epistles. According to Kittim, the epistles give us the real Jesus. If you follow the epistles, you'll piece together the whole story!

These concepts were originally communicated to him via special revelation! His is the only view that appropriately combines the end-time messianic expectations of the Jews with Christian scripture! Remarkably, both the Biblical and extrabiblical data support his conclusions. Eli of Kittim himself has done extensive scholarly research to confirm his views. His translation work is especially noteworthy. This new hermeneutic is worthy of serious academic consideration.

In his work, Kittim shows the scriptural basis for each doctrine. He uses a translation and exegesis approach, while taking into account the full scope of biblical scholarship. Thus, he combines special revelation with Scripture! Kittimism, therefore, is a systematic theology and a belief in the Bible as it is interpreted and understood by Eli Kittim!

If you want to explore these themes in greater detail, I highly recommend reading The Little Book of Revelation, which covers all these topics and more: https://www.xlibris.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/597424-the-little-book-of-revelation

Readers are also advised to read Eli of Kittim’s official blog, which acts as a companion study-guide to The Little Book: https://www.tumblr.com/eli-kittim

Doll Mindset!! How To Achieve It 🎀

“Imagination and love can change the world.” - Barbie (Rapunzel)

Stay Positive!! One of the biggest parts of becoming a doll, is a positive mindset. Some of our favorite dolls (EX: Barbie) always stay positive. If something goes wrong, try looking for the positive. It’s always best to look on the bright side, rather than the dark. To stay positive, try practice talking highly of yourself. Not only you, but others too. Try encouraging those around you!! Life becomes a lot more fun when you uplift others. Trust me!

Dream big!! One thing about dolls is that they know how to use their imagination. They always shoot for the stars when it comes to their goals and dreams. Also they all truly believe that if they work hard, they can achieve anything. And you should believe the same as well!! If you want to become a lawyer, work hard for it. If you want to become a nurse, work hard for it. All you need is, some imagination, ambition, hard work, and dedication. You can do it, if you put your mind to it! 

Don’t be afraid to be yourself!! The Bratz rarely care if someone disliked their fashion sense. They liked their fashion sense and that’s only what mattered. Not if some stranger gives them a weird look. So, be confident in who you are. If you like something someone else doesn’t, so what?!?! Everyone has their own preferences. We can’t all like the same thing. If we all did, what’s the fun in that?

Take care of yourself!! I will never stop mentioning that everyone should be taking care of themselves. Always, always, always invest in yourself. If you have the time to do a full on spa day for yourself, DO IT!! Because taking anytime to care for yourself, will always be worth it.

Always be up for a challenge!! The Winx Club fairies were never afraid of a challenge. Whatever came at them, they remained fearless and positive. So, when your studies get challenging remain positive. Never let the challenge bring you down!! Instead be ready for the challenge and use it to grow.

Motivate others!! Encourage & compliment others around you. Once I started complimenting people more often, my life changed. I felt more positive and I was able to make others smile. Now, it’s a daily practice in my life to motivate others!

“That’s so weird. Fashion’s like your superpower. You shouldn’t have to hide it.” - Yasmin

Love you dolls!! Remember to stay positive and pretty 💋🎀

Xoxo, Arielleslipgloss
