Therefore, having the asterisk before "his" indicates that the correct way to refer to God the Father is with an uppercase letter. This concept came about by coming to the realization that God, at times, is not first in our lives and that we need to give Him His throne back in our lives.You will know that you are His and He is yours.

Have you wrestled with the complexity of classroom teaching? Have you often wondered what might be impeding your performance in the classroom? Parker J. Palmer's exploration into teaching and the problems that teachers encounter offers practical theories that address the questions one has or perhaps might not have thought to ask. This book is about Parker J. Palmer's theories of education interwoven with his spiritual vision of education. Undergirding the spiritual aspect of his vision is his theory about the significance of the teacher's authentic self. Within the narrative is the personal story of one teacher's daunting experiences as she ventured into the field of teaching after a career in the corporate world. Meeting Palmer while in graduate school, and closely studying his work, served to modify her perspective about teaching for the better. This ultimately changed her as a teacher in ways that could not have occurred had she not had this encounter. This book aims to inform as well as to help transform the experience of teaching for both teacher and student.

The revelations on this subject of "Church" in this book: HOW TO EXAMINE PASTORS: WHAT IS THE CHURCH AND WHY DOES IT MATTER?, have been deep, especially, its educational simplicity in showing, according to the Word of God, what a Church is and should be, the specific teachings that people can and should expect from a Church, the specific activities and behaviors that people can and should expect from Church Leaders!Quite simply, this is a Pastoral Verification Book that anyone who can read and write should acquire, and use it this way:1. Check all the Pastors whether they are truly called by God Almighty or by Satan!2. You simply have to read this book, and then,3. Hear your Pastor's teaching and preaching, and then,4. Compare his teachings to what I have exposed here in this book, and then,5. Decide for yourself whether your Pastor is strictly following the LORD Jesus Christ in the Holy Bible, or, whether he gets his doctrines from Satan!If the answer is, yes, then, stay with your Pastor!

The Bible teaches us that we live in a fallen world. In this imperfect world we must learn to cope with bitter disappointments, terrible tragedies, heartrending circumstances, and many hard providences from God that we may never be able to understand this side of eternity. There are many tears that seem impossible to wipe away from those with a broken heart. But I have found over the years that the Word of God is the best comfort to God's children who are going through times of sorrow and suffering. Once we pass through the fire and the water we come out with a wealth of treasures.

Dear Readers of the Holy Bible:1. When I read the Book of Jeremiah, how am I supposed to understand it?2. How does the Book relate to me today, and what lessons am I to take away from it?3. There are 640 study topics in the Book of Jeremiah, which translate to some 640 hours of Bible lessons.4. Some of the lessons in Jeremiah that relate to you today center on the decadence in all the churches: the rottenness, the fraud, the thievery, the deceptions, the robbery, the lying, the fornications and adulteries, the false doctrines, and the occultic practices in the churches, all of which the LORD God Almighty blames on the Church Leaders! There is no evil deed in a nation that did not originate and spread forth from Pastors, Bishops, Church Leaders, and the Clergy! Jeremiah 50:6 (KJV), Jeremiah 23:15 (KJV).5. Therefore, the doctrine of Clergy Peer Control is the most stupid proposal that the most foolish and the worst educated men ever put on the table!6. The LORD God says it very plainly in the Holy Bible that congregations are being devoured by errant evil Pastors and incompetent uneducated Clergy, so, if God Almighty Himself has told you who the evil doers are and who the lions are, then, how deep is your stupidity as a Government to relinquish the control and oversight of the sheep to the very lions who devour them? Jeremiah 50:7 (KJV).7. Solution?8. Find out from this Book!+ + + + + + +Rev. Prof. PETER PRYCE,DSEF, BA, MA, B.Soc.Sc Pol Sci, IBA, PhDA Scribe of the Law of the God of Heaven

Praise God I was born and raised in a place and time which my extended family had little. There was never enough food, and clothing was sparse. I grew up without a father, though notwithstanding, having many females in the family, there were always men around. In this continual scenario, I was able to see what sin really is and how it takes advantage of the deceived, eventually taking their lives.I completed an online seminary course and improved my knowledge of God's Word. I held church services in my home weekly, for over ten years. I have led many people to Christ and counseled them concerning how the deceiver was trying to rob them. I pray that God remembers that I shared the love he shares with me.

American culture has failed. We, the people, have gone astray from what we were founded upon. With every decade and generation, we have slipped further away from the truth. A new "truth" has been the driving force, and has destroyed our foundation in God: Humanism. Humanism teaches there is no God. Humanism teaches that humans are the highest authority and that every individual's perceptive truth is correct. Humanism is atheism. But, there is a God. And it can be proven. And if it can be proven, then God's truth is the only one. He is the foundation we need to stand upon.The Foundation We Stand Upon masterfully combines history, science, and God, and provides persuasive arguments for:- the existence of God- the destructive ideology of humanism- the need for a stronger family- the political murder of our culture- the need to return to God

Humility is the greatest virtue in the spiritual life, the virtue which unlocks the graces of the Sacred Heartof Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. It is the virtue by which we reach Heaven. It is the virtueOur Lord prized, for He is the greatest instructor of humility: "Learn of me, because I am meek andhumble of heart" (Matt. 11:29).In this marvelous work, Pope Leo XIII sets forth sixty counsels, little reflections, on how you can strive forthis most glorious virtue. And he concludes this book with some of the most beautiful quotes onhumility from some of the greatest saints. He wrote this powerful little work while serving as the Bishopof Perugia."Let the study of the knowledge of yourself, the fleeing from honors, and the love of humiliations, beyour weapons; and of these you should never divest yourself, no, not even for a single moment," saysPope Leo XIII. The pope further declares, "Holy Communion, by which we receive within our breasts invery substance the God made man and annihilated for love of us, is a wonderful school of humility and amost powerful means of acquiring it."Humility must be practiced daily in order to be acquired. Only a man of humility could write such aprofound work-a work, which will inspire you to battle the vice of pride with renewed vigor.

En este libro complementario de "El cielo y el infi erno", David Pawson continúa con el tema de la vida futura, que, a pesar de ser una parte integral de la fe cristiana, se descuida con demasiada frecuencia. David considera la enseñanza bíblica sobre las últimas cosas (muerte, juicio, cielo e infi erno) y los retos que se le plantean al cristiano en el mundo moderno.

The Bible, Its Author, and the People Within will not only challenge you to take a good hard look at the things you've learned throughout your Christian walk, but will also teach you how to read the Bible. It will then introduce you to the God of creation as well as many of the traditions, customs, and practices of the people dwelling within the ancient world. The subject matter covered within these pages includes Israel's religious festivals; the betrothal and wedding ceremony; the bearing, rearing, and education of children; the various occupations of the day; the mourning, preparation, and burial of the dead, as well as the hereafter.Now you may be thinking: Is this book something I should take the time to read? Well, that depends. If you're someone who's willing to have your presuppositions and dearly held traditions challenged by God's Word, you should read it. If you're someone who's willing to deviate from the beaten path and follow the text of Scripture wherever it leads, you should read it. If you're someone who's willing to consider a perspective other than your own, then yes, you should read it. If not, then quite frankly, you shouldn't. Whether you're a thirty-year-veteran of the faith or a believer of only a few hours, this book can greatly benefit you if you're willing to first read it and then further investigate its claims.Generally speaking, the way you interact with life depends on your perception of the world around you. And as they say, perception is reality. But the problem with that is that a westerner's reality is not the reality of the easterner. As a student of God's Word, the only way you can benefit from what you read is to consider the culture, the rituals, the customs, the traditions, and the practices of those living within the biblical world. Unfortunately, more often than not, this is the exception to the rule. As westerners, our tendency is to impose our worldview on to the text of Scripture. This book will afford you the opportunity to get into the minds of the biblical writers.While this book deals with some of the most common religious and social practices of the Israelites, Building a Framework, the second book, focuses on the establishment of a divine council, the history of creation, the sin of the Watchers, the birth of the giants, Noah's flood, the disinheriting of the inhabitants of the earth, the calling of Abram, the planting of Israel's heavens and earth along with their history, the ministry of Christ, the reclaiming of the nations, and the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in A.D. 70. The third book in this series, Digging Deeper, utilizes a handful of principles needed to accurately interpret the Scriptures.This series of books is very easy to read. These books are written in such a way that you should have no difficulty understanding the message conveyed. Although there are several theological terms sprinkled throughout these works, they are thoroughly explained for a better understanding of the Bible's meaning. Additionally, the majority of the biblical passages utilized within these books are written out for your convenience. The reason for this is simple. First of all, it minimizes the need for having to stop and look up each citation. But more importantly, it presents a biblical case for the assertions and conclusions drawn within each book. I have, to the best of my ability, searched God's Word for the truth. If you find what I have found, then build on it and share it with others. Assume nothing. You have the responsibility to study the Scriptures for yourself and draw your own conclusions.
