I hope this book helps to enhance your alone time with God. Remember a conversation is two ways- talking and listening. Pour out your heart to God, but also listen to hear his voice. Study God's word. Remember any devotional book should be used with your Bible, not as a replacement for it. Now, find a quiet place. "Be still and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth." - Psalms 46:10

Welcome the Adversary¿¿As pastor and author Mike Robertson writes, the people around you are either making you better or they are pulling you backward. If you want to become all God has in mind for you, you will find yourself in life-giving relationships-and that will include some difficult people, like it or not. In his new book, Dealing With Difficult People, Robertson explores how we can learn from the ones who cause us the most trouble. With transparency and humor, he draws insight from his own journey and guides readers toward a deeper understanding of:When to fight for a relationship, and when to let it dieThe rhythms and rules that define healthy relationshipsHow to deal with offenseOvercoming the wounds of betrayal and broken trustRobertson uncovers biblical relationship principles reflected in the lives of David, Paul and even Jesus, as they navigated the challenges of relating to the broken people around them.Ultimately, Robertson encourages readers to take a look inward and identify self-defeating patterns that may sabotage their own relationships. After all, the most difficult person we will ever have to deal with in our lives may well be ourselves.

This collection of forty short inspirational devotionals by the author provides thought-provoking reflections on what made Jesus tick. It answers two important questions:What was Jesus' worldview and how did it shape His ministry?In what ways can we share the eternal truths that motivated and directed Him and how will they affect our everyday Christian lives?The goal of Christian spiritual discipleship is transformation into Christlike maturity. For us to live more like Jesus, we must start from the inside and work outwards. That means examining the life of Jesus in the Bible to see how His divinity and humanity interacted and how He thought. The author filters out aspects of our individual personalities that will and should always remain, and Jesus' pure divinity, which we can never share. What's left are ways in which we can become more like Jesus. From His incarnation to His crucifixion and ascension Jesus is presented as the Son of God. His faith in that fact and His relationship with the Father inspired everything He did and spoke. This book is not primarily about how to be like Jesus. Rather, it reflects on who He is. But don't miss a key point-contemplating and imitating the inner life of the Who is the how. Each piece can be used for daily reading, meditation, and reflection. Most of the pieces are just two pages long and focus on New Testament Scriptures from the Gospel accounts and the Acts of the Apostles. They provide a thought-provoking commentary on Jesus' worldview, teachings, miracles, parables, ministry, and what He taught His disciples.This book can also be used as a pastoral resource for teaching ministry and discipleship in churches as well as for personal spiritual growth in the Christian life. The author assumes that being like Jesus in the way we listen to God in prayer, dodge the world's distractions, resist Satan, and make disciples results in confidence and fruitfulness in His kingdom work. We will only escape the impotence and irrelevance of superficial religion to the extent that we make Christlikeness our goal.

This book explores the true identity and deity of Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus Christ). According to revealed knowledge by the Spirit of God, Jesus who is one of the distinct Spirits of God manifested in the flesh as human being so that he can save humanity and the world from our sins. By God's predeterminate redemption plan the death of Yeshua (Jesus Christ) is to appease God and reconcile creation with God. In order to understand the true divinity of the man Jesus and the deity of the spirit of Jesus, the book revealed the composition of the one and true GOD and His ability to proceed forth out of self. This book will enlighten your understanding of the distinct Spirits of GOD and Yeshua (Jesus Christ) as one of the distinct Spirits (logos) of GOD.

"Freedom" is at the heart of the life and messageof Jesus Christ and the mission of His followers.Jesus said, "If you abide in My Word, and My Word abides in you, then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. . . if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed" (John 8:32). That is what this book is all about: to help you identify where, why, and how you live in bondages and slavery instead of in freedom and hope.Foundations of Freedom is a five-session experience of the larger Living Set Free in Christ course (which is 12 one-hour sessions), and is suitable for use in workshops, small-groups, and one-on-one discipleship settings, as well as for personal devotional use. It provides a primer on starting on a path to freedom in Jesus Christ, equipping you with the biblical truth you need in your pursuit of living the abundant life Jesus promised for His disciples (John 10:10), including:· Understanding God's original design for Creation and for you· Recognizing the two-realm nature of our world· Learning how to use the power and authority that are yours in Christ· Being aware of how strongholds are built in your life, and how to tear them down· Continuing on in a life of freedom with an undivided heart for GodYou'll also discover how to use the divinely powerful weapons God has given you to break free-and live free-of the obstacles that hold you back from experiencing abundant life. In this book, you'll learn and apply the "4R" prayer model to stronghold issues in your life like insignificance, fear, passivity, "open doors" and injustices from your past, and unforgiveness.Through Christ's power and authority, you can break out of those bondages to live in the freedom Jesus purchased for you!

This book is about Bible stories, so whoever read them will read these stories of the Bible the right way, and learn them all the right way, and will be absolutely sure that it is the right way, and that way you won't never ever have to take no one else's words for it again, and have no doubt because it is completely undeniable unto you, and you can finally say that you know that Bible, that you have learned the Bible, that the Bible is not confusing to you anymore, it is not no parable and no mystery no more, and the whole entire Bible is true after all.These books are my notebooks from over the last sixteen years, and therefore, all of my books are only my notebooks, and so far as of now, I have written about ninety-five subject notebook tablets of many, many, many books of the Bible stories, like this one. And therefore, I have over thirty thousand pages of books upon books, and more than the world can contain, and way more than enough, more than any average person will read.

Wow! The title of this book is not what I expected. This book will make you think of how little we actually appreciate what we already have. If you do not walk away with a diamond nugget that will affect your life, I advise a reread.

Lo que tienes ante ti es una joya reformacional del reformador español Cipriano de Valera (1531-1602). En su Tratado (1594), originalmente escrito para aquellos creyentes protestantes esclavizados por los piratas o corsarios de Berbería, Valera conforta, exhorta y edifica magistralmente, al tiempo que proporciona una deconstrucción del catolicismo romano, el judaísmo y el islam. Quizás lo más notable es su ánimo a aquellos fieles cautivos de dar testimonio a sus captores, tanto en palabra como en acción de vida, albergando en lo profundo la esperanza de que la semilla del evangelio plantada por los cautivos produciría fruto transformador de vida en sus captores. Valera tuvo la audacia de creer, como todos deberíamos, que el evangelio puede transformar los corazones de aquellos a quienes podríamos percibir como nuestros enemigos más acérrimos. Eso debería provocarnos a tener una fe igual o mayor en lo que el evangelio puede lograr por el poder del Espíritu de Dios.

Dr. Johnson Ambrose Afrane-Twum explores the history of African immigrant churches in the UK, offering suggestions for how black-led churches can partner with white-majority churches for greater impact in urban ministry and evangelism

See how the thread of orthodoxy runs throughout the history of the church - even in the thousand years known as the "Dark Ages". If you study church history closely, you will see that there is a continuous thread of faithful, glorifying theology that gives God due honour, that takes Scripture as the principal authority over life and faith, and that nourishes our wonder and worship. Despite its somewhat derogatory name, we can see that the light of the gospel was by no means extinguished in the millennium between 500 and 1500. Iain Wright and Yannick Imbert outline the story of this time through the lives of ten key figures of the Medieval Church: Leo the Great (400-461) Boethius (476-524) Alcuin (735-804) Gottschalk (814-868) Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109) Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153) Peter Waldo (1140-1205) Bonaventure(1221-1274) John Wycliffe (1320-1384) Jan Hus(1372-1415) Chronicles 1,000 Years of Orthodox Theology see God's providence in the faithful teaching of truth throughout history Meet Key Historical Figures: some well-known, some less so, all in their place and time Written for a wide audience non-academic writing style makes this a great read for anyone interested in history

If you're wondering where God is and whether He's real, consider the obvious. If He is real, wouldn't He reveal Himself and give us the answers we're looking for? Surely, those answers should be right in front of us.Even though God has given us nine witnesses of His existence, the world seems to have come up with alternative explanations. How would you interpret these witnesses? Will you follow what the world says or instead acknowledge what each witness says about God?God revealed Himself to me face to face, although I didn't realize it right away. I saw how genuine God is, how pure His heart is and how transparent His message is. When I had my God-moment, everything got set into motion-and that's why I wrote this book.You are precious to God, and you are precious to me. God will reveal Himself to you throughout your life, and hopefully this book will help you to more clearly understand Him.

[a.d. 200-232-245.] In a former volume, strengthened by a word from Archbishop Usher, I have not hesitated to claim for Theophilus of Antioch a primary place among Christian chronologists. It is no detraction from the fame of our author to admit this, and truth requires it. But the great Alexandrian school must again come into view when we speak of any considerable achievements, among early Christian writers, in this important element of all biblical, in fact, all historical, science. Africanus was a pupil of Heraclas, and we must therefore date his pupilage in Alexandria before a.d. 232, when Dionysius succeeded Heraclas in the presidency of that school. It appears that in a.d. 226 he was performing some duty on behalf of Emmaus (Nicopolis) in Palestine; but Heraclas, who had acted subordinately as Origen's assistant as early as a.d. 218, could not have become the head of the school, even provisionally, till after Origen's unhappy ordination. Let us assume the period of our author's attending the school under Heraclas to be between a.d. 228 and a.d. 232, however. We may then venture to reckon his birth as circa a.d. 200. And, if he became "bishop of Emmaus," it could hardly have been before the year 240, when he was of ripe age and experience. He adds additional luster to the age of Gregory Thaumaturgus and Dionysius, as well as to that of their common mother in letters and theology, the already ancient academy of Pantænus and of Clement.

Facing slanderous attacks in 2013 and 2014 over the internet, it seemed unreal at first but soon became very apparent after reading comments about myself on the web. My life felt shattered and my success seemed foggy. I had numerous thoughts of writing this book, in hopes that it would reach those who may be dealing with the same type of experience. I am still haunted by the fact that temptation is still knocking at my door. I am a blessed man who has overcome significant tests of this persecution. My mission now is to help youth and adults to not be discouraged into the trials I faced. We all face challenges in our lives. My story is more dramatic than the average person. It is a true testament of how I have struggled in the suffering of many attacks and adversity. I realize my circumstances were the best for me because it made me a stronger person for having gone through them. My hope and desire is to encourage all readers to live their best life, and to appreciate who you are no matter what anyone says about you.www.halftimehustler.com
