Do you desire to be what God intended? Do you desire to have the life Jesus died and lives to give you? Have you given up with the traditional forms of a programmed approach to Christian growth? Jesus' call of the Gospel is to follow him and as we follow, to invite others to follow him with us. Gospelling Life Together is intentionally involving and learning the Gospel Story and one another's gospel story through focused discussions about each other's Relational, Personal, Missional, and Spiritual life, in the context of regular, ongoing friendship, for a joyful, personal revolution that leads to deeper community and a God honoring, Jesus glorifying mission in this runaway world.
Los lectores del Nuevo Testamento pueden encontrar su trato a la tradición de una forma confusa. Muchas de las costumbres en los pasajes son Judías, por lo tanto extrañas a los creyentes no-Judíos. Yeshua (Jesús) algunas veces corrigió estas costumbres religiosas observantes, sin embargo otras veces él dijo que debían ser observadas. Pablo hace lo mismo en sus cartas, y dos veces el instruye a los creyentes no-Judíos de guardar las costumbres Judías que él les paso a ellos. Dentro de los creyentes en Yeshua hoy en día, algunos disfrutan haber incorporado la tradición en su alabanza. Otros han desechado todas las costumbres por considerarlas "hechas por el hombre," por lo tanto completamente extrañas para ellos o peor vistas como el pecado de "añadir" a la Palabra escrita. Hay una forma de determinar la relación entre la Palabra y la tradición, porque la Palabra no nos dejara sin alivio en tal pregunta tan importante. Nuestro Padre quiere que Sus hijos crezcan en sabiduría, madurez y favor delante de El al igual que dentro de sus comunidades. Los métodos usados por los profetas del Antiguo Testamento (TANAK) como también los escritores del Nuevo Testamento (Brit HaJadashah) dejaron pautas para dividir la Semilla de verdad de la tradición, para luego separar una tradición que creció de la verdad de la que creció de una diferente semilla.

Common to people of every time and place is a longing for the truth. We want to know!

The Bible tells us that the last enemy that shall be subdued and abolished is death (1 Corinthians 15:26). This book has been written to bring into the light the truth that, for everyone in Christ, death has no authority over us. Christian Faith is a covenant of longevity. Satan and its agents has no authority over the truly born again Children of The Almighty God. We must not at any point enter into agreement with death or satan about anything to advance its kingdom, especially after we have confessed Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour. The Readers of this book will understand fully The Covenant of Longevity They Have in Christ.
A Definitive Look at the New Creation Realities That Have Become Established Since the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ of NazarethFrom the Spiritual and Physical Dead
As we begin this study of Paul's letter to Titus, we should think through why we are studying the Bible. Why not read some other book? Or why not just get together with some other women and chat? Well, have you heard the story about the kindergarten teacher who had her class paint pictures of anything they chose? After observing a little girl who was working very intently on her painting, the teacher asked, "What are you painting?" The girl answered, "It's a picture of God." Amused, the teacher informed her, "No one knows what God looks like." Without looking up from her painting, the little girl responded, "They will in a minute!" This might be a cute example of a precocious child, but many people paint pictures of God in their own minds. They "know" that God is a certain way, because they want him to be that way. However, the one true God is transcendent. He is beyond our capacity to know. First Timothy 6:16 describes God, "[W]ho alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see." God existed before time. He is the Creator, and we are his creatures. Sinful man cannot approach the holy God.How can we know this God if we cannot approach him? He has to approach us. The only way to truly know God is for him to reveal himself to us. He reveals his existence and power in creation. (See Psalm 19 and Romans 1:18""21.) However, if we want to truly know God in a personal way, it must be through his Word. And God wants us, his creatures, to know him. Jeremiah 10:23""24 says:Thus says the Lord: "Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth."
Faithful and fun retelling of the story of Noah and the flood for children 2-4 years old, showing how God saves his people and always keeps his promises.
Indulgences are one of the great misunderstood mercy's available to us from God. Unlocking Indulgences is a doctrinal work on indulgences. It follows closely the teachings of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Manual of Indulgences, Norms and Grants (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Washington, DC, 1999), and various papal documents on the subject.This book has received an imprimatur (March 2019) from the Catholic Church."Indulgences opens a special door to this treasury for all the faithful." (Manual of Indulgences, Norms and Grants, USCCB)"It is a sensitive subject, which has suffered historical misunderstandings that have had a negative impact on communion between Christians. In the present ecumenical context, the Church is aware of the need for this ancient practice to be properly understood and accepted as a significant expression of God's mercy." (John Paul II (1999), Indulgences are Expression of God's Mercy) "The Christian who seeks to purify himself of his sin and to become holy with the help of God's grace is not alone." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1474 on Indulgences and the Communion of Saints.)What is this Treasury of the Church? Why are indulgences a "sensitive subject," rarely talked about within the Church? Did you know that the Catechism of the Catholic Church states that sin has a "double consequence"? What are these double consequences and how are indulgences used to remove part of this consequence?Bringing together the various Catholic Church's doctrines on Indulgences along with the writings of Saint John Paul II, Pope Paul VI, and Pope Francis, Unlocking Indulgences: A Treasury for All the Faithful takes a step-by-step look at what indulgences are, how to obtain an indulgence, and how indulgences are meant to lead us into a closer relationship with God. If you are unfamiliar with indulgences or haven't taken a thoughtful look at indulgences as a daily devotional walk with Christ and the saints, "to become holy with the help of God's grace," then this book will reveal another dimension of God's mercy available to you.

You probably have read many books and obviously enjoyed some and did not enjoy some, but this book, The Ultimate Plan For Success is a book that you will live to remember every day of your life. If you have ever heard of people put on a life support machine, then I think this book is the most recommended life support material for your life. It cuts across growth in your spiritual life, business, career, health, marriage, family life and all areas of your life. This book does not only teach you to succeed in life, but it also teaches you to take over and dominate everything under your responsibility and within your territories. It is a book that will teach you step by step how to walk out of poverty, how to build your spiritual life, how to develop an intimacy with God and tap into the supernatural, how to develop yourself, how to overcome daily challenges, how to rise from zero to hero, how to overcome certain limitations in your life and get out of the rat race, how to become resourceful to your community, country and the world at large, and how to transform the world as a Christian. I strongly believe that every individual has a moral obligation to make a positive contribution to their nation and the world at large, though only a few individuals pursue this course and the majority concentrates on their careers and family only. It is not enough to be born into this world, grow in this world, acquire all the things you need in this world to succeed in life, depart from this world and yet contribute nothing measurable to transform your community, nation or the world at large.God has endowed every individual (including you) with extraordinary abilities to transform the world and bring it under our control. This book will, therefore, help you to live up to your potentials as a child of God. It is a book that reveals deep mysteries about the things of God and how God handed over the keys of this world to us in order to rule and overcome the world. It is a practical book that interprets Scripture in a very simple and systematic manner. Reading through this book as an author has transformed my life and it has turned into a major addiction in my life, where I'll have to read through the whole book at least once every week. It is a book written through a direct revelation from the Holy Spirit about major keys in life that can unlock and deliver millions of people from every unpleasant situation.I, therefore, recommend this book not only to you but to your family, loved ones and any person that is looking for answers in life. It will teach you how to overcome every situation using Biblical principles.
