Donate Bibles

Anyone who wants to donate Bibles can be a part of the Great Commission to spread God's love to the entire world. Jesus told His people, "Go into all the world and preach the Good News to all creation" (Mark 16:15). There is no better way to do that than to give to donate Bible programs that help spread God's Word throughout the world. Here in the United States, people do not see or suffer the persecution that many Christians do in other parts of the world. In order for Christians to be prepared to lead others to God, many organizations and churches must provide Bibles to them. To help share God's word with those living in spiritual darkness, there are organizations that will offer services free of charge. Some organizations ask for financial donations so that they can donate Bible literature throughout the world. Others will accept donations regardless of the condition or version of the Bible. The hunger for God throughout the world is so strong that many are needed to help donate Bibles in order to further the Kingdom of God.
Getting involved in donating God's Word to others is as easy as taking used or new copies to a local collection center or church. In many programs, a person can donate Bibles to be delivered by missionaries to those in other countries. To donate Bible literature, a visit to the many online sites can direct an individual to the site of their choice. Many of the organizations that will provide these services charge a small fee for this work. One Christian site just asks for a person's desire to make donations. The individual must simply click on the spot and a Bible is donated, with no cost whatsoever.
Many people want to help share the word of God, but just don't know how. To donate Bibles or literature is the perfect solution. It takes very little effort, little or no money, and the reward for the individual will be knowing they have participated in spreading God's word. Getting involved is easy, especially with the organizations that donate Bible literature here in America, like the Gideon Organization. As a Christian, it is important to understand the need for the Word of God to be available to people throughout the world, whether by donating Bibles or money to this cause. "Freely we have received, freely give." (Matthew 10:8)

Benevolence

Benevolence is defined as the disposition to do good; good will; charitableness; love of mankind accompanied with the desire to promote man's happiness. Church benevolence is no different; in fact, this characteristic should exude from the members of the church (followers of Christ) on a daily basis wherever they go. The church is a collection of followers of Christ that hold dear the beliefs and commandments He taught as an example of the way to live according to God. To be benevolent is an outward action of following in Christ's footsteps. This characteristic itself is the action of doing good deeds for one another on a regular basis. In times past the word and especially church benevolence were meant to include the good things a church (as a body of believers in one location) could do to help those in their community and surrounding areas. Examples would include opening soup kitchens for the hungry, offering shelter for the homeless, donating Christmas presents for those that would not otherwise be able to celebrate Christmas (with gifts) for their children. Benevolence funds are raised, sometimes separately on a monthly basis, to finance these community good deeds. "He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression" (Job 36:15).
People have always felt that when they were in need, they could come to the local church for help. Now, churches are starting to feel the pinch of a wavering economy and can no longer afford to help the entire community without first helping those within their congregation. Many skeptics feel that the church is here to help everyone, but the Bible speaks a different truth. The church was established not to save the lost, but to encourage and edify the believers. In times of old, Christians had nowhere to turn for support and assurance of their faith.
Persecution of Christians was happening in many places, and it was dangerous to have faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Christians needed church benevolence to help each other. Today, some churches have been blessed enough to offer outside benevolence to non believers, to promote missions trips to spread God's word, and to create shelters and soup kitchens, etc. It should be noted however, that benevolence in it's truest form, should first be bestowed upon members of God's family for edification of the church and encouragement to continue to use it to spread the word of God through fruits in everyday life situations.

The ActiveHybrid 5 is a puzzling vehicle. Based on BMW's 535i midsize luxury sedan, the ActiveHybrid 5 adds a costly gas-electric powertrain but offers barely any fuel economy or performance benefits.
To create the ActiveHybrid 5, BMW took the 300 horsepower, 300 lb-ft of torque 3.0-liter TwinPower turbocharged inline-six cylinder from the 535, along with its eight-speed automatic transmission and then added a 55 horsepower, 155 lb-ft or torque electric drive system. The result is a combined peak 335 horsepower (hybrids requite some fuzzy math) and the ability to drive up to 37 miles per hour on electric power alone. The electric power for the motor is provided from a lithium-ion battery with 96 cells and a usable capacity of 675 watt hours. BMW says the ActiveHybrid used both a 14.6 volt power supply and a 317 volt supply, with the two systems linked together through a voltage transformer.

The Acura ILX is an entry-level compact luxury sedan intended to serve as a gateway car to draw in Generation Y buyers looking to move up to a premium brand. Though based on the Honda Civic, the ILX distances itself from its plebeian roots with distinct styling, additional tech and convenience features and a more coddling cabin.
The ILX's front end is unmistakably an Acura design, though the controversial "beak" grille is more gracefully incorporated than in some of the brand's other vehicles. The sides of the ILX feature a pair of eye-catching character lines: one runs relatively straight from the front headlight to the back of the rear window, while the other starts aft of the front wheel and sweeps up to create a "hip" above the rear wheel were the two meet. Around back, the taillights are reminiscent of the units on the brand's crossover vehicles.

2013 Bentley Continental Flying Spur

Bentley recently gave its Continental Flying Spur a modest exterior refresh, with changes to the front and rear of this large ultra-luxury sedan. The automaker also extended the 600-horsepower 'Speed' treatment to the four-door car, after first debuting the high-performance edition for the GT coupe.
The Flying Spur was introduced for the 2006 model year. A direct result of Bentley's then-new owners, the Volkswagen Auto Group, the sedan shares its basic underpinnings and some mechanical bits with VW's late Phaeton. As one would expect of a Bentley, it boasts a capacious interior trimmed in the some of the softest leather and highest quality wood imaginable.

The latest Flying Spur features a more upright grille and bolder lower air intake, while the revised rear bumper delivers a more aggressive and sleek appearance.
Bentley also decided to update the Flying Spur's electronic stability program and offer optional carbon ceramic brakes should owners try and test that 195 mph top speed. An optional three-spoke steering wheel along with improved Bluetooth capability round out the changes.
