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.

"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.

The Heart Surgery of the Potential Minister of the Gospel presents a series of lectures by Professor Zacharias Tanee Fomum to Missionaries and would-be missionaries at the School of Knowing and Serving God (SKSG)-The Missionary Training Academy of Christian Missionary Fellowship International, Yaounde, Cameroon.Drawing from his own life experience and spiritual history with God, Professor Fomum, addressing specific co-workers, explained the kind of life and heart God desires and approves in a minister of the Gospel. He emphasized that God is primarily concerned about 'Who' the Gospel Minister is than what he actually does.In The Heart Surgery of the Potential Minister of the Gospel, the author emphasised the fact that the work of the Gospel requires a certain kind of worker-the right kind of worker in order to please and satisfy the Lord of the harvest. It is only work and service from such a heart that can meet God's approval. He taught extensively on the fact that the content and quality of the heart and life of a Minister of the Gospel is a determinant factor of his acceptance, usefulness, and impact in the service of God. Holiness, radical repentance, and the forsaking of all sins are the expedient attributes and qualifications of a competent minister of the gospel.This book is a must-read for every Minister and would-be Minister of the Gospel who desires that the Lord-the great Physician, should work through the Holy Spirit in him/her to perform the needed surgery that would produce a useful vessel whose life and work can find acceptance before God, bring joy to His heart and receive His approval and commendation.

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.

What makes this such a stellar read is not only is Marla aware of who she is, but she's finally got to the point where she's unabashedly ready to tell us as well!" -Tyler Merritt, author of I Take My Coffee Black and Creator of The Tyler Merritt ProjectWhen you've spent your entire life defined by your faith, who are you when that faith shatters, leaving you to pick up broken pieces, wondering if anything can be saved? Marla Taviano--author, single mom, and former Christian--set out on a journey to find out. What she uncovered was that, after deconstructing a toxic belief system and working to dismantle systems of injustice, some things hadn't changed. She still loved people and wanted them to be free and whole--and she wanted that for herself too. It just looked different now. So whole: poems on reclaiming the pieces of ourselves and creating something new talks about looking back to move forward, new thoughts on god, our inner lives, embodied living, and books, books, books. If you long for the freedom to be your true self, if you ache for healing and wholeness for yourself and a broken world, if you need some lighthearted fun amid all the hard, Marla's got you. This book is a collection of mini-love letter poems to herself and all of us.

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.

My purpose for writing a book of Genesis commentary for all readers is to help kids and grown-ups understand the stories in the Bible better. Genesis is a very important book that tells us about the beginning of the world and the first people. The commentary will explain the stories in Genesis in a way that is easy to understand, using simple words and examples that a ten-year-old can grasp.By writing this commentary, the author wants to show how the stories in Genesis can teach important lessons and help you think about big questions. You can learn about things like how the world was created, why there is good and evil, and how we all should treat one another. The commentary will help everyone see the true meaning behind the stories and how they can be relevant to our lives today.This commentary was written to encourage conversation and discussion among readers. It helps to create a space where kids and grown-ups can talk about the stories, ask questions, and share their own thoughts and ideas. By doing this, the author hope to make Genesis more engaging and enjoyable for everyone, fostering a deeper understanding of the Bible and its teachings.
