Os quatro Evangelhos estão repletos de histórias em que a participação de mulheres se destaca. O que não deixa de ser surpreendente quando olhamos em retrospectiva a pouca importância dada a elas pela sociedade, cultura e religião da época.Nesse aspecto, vale a pena questionar: Se as mulheres que seguiram Jesus pudessem descrevê-lo, o que diriam? Tal pergunta tem seu significado ampliado quando levamos em conta a diversidade de mulheres que se aproximaram de Jesus ao longo de seu curto ministério. Pobres, ricas, enfermas, enlutadas, jovens, idosas, gentias, judias, virgens, viúvas, prostitutas, profetisas, elas se achegaram a Jesus em busca de cura, perdão e respostas, e essas motivações repercutem ainda hoje em nosso coração, inspirando-nos e fortalecendo-nos.Guiados pela escrita sensível de Rebecca McLaughlin, somos convidados a revisitar esses encontros emocionantes com o Filho de Deus e neles refletir: E se fosse eu? Quais seriam as minhas razões para encontrar Jesus ainda hoje?

How often do we get frustrated when someone wrongs us? Sin has a way of entering into our hearts in ways that we may or may not even notice. It is our job to be watchful of those instances. If we can acknowledge and identify those areas, we can be better equipped to stand firm in our faith and our fight against sin.This book dives into what sin is, why we sin, and how sin is effecting our daily living. Corey Meyers dive into both general and specific examples of how we justify our sins to the point where we may feel we are doing the right thing. We may have our own reasons for our actions in this physical world, but we must be aware that sin is still sin. We cannot make sin right. We cannot make sin an acceptable behavior. How can we know what sin is if we are never taught what is right and wrong? Reading the Bible and prayer are essential in our walk with Jesus.This book is by no means the ultimate truth but a guide to help in our understanding of sin and ways we can be mindful of paths we choose to take. There is no question that we are humans full of sin. There is no question that we live in a sinful world that is full of temptation and false truth. We must use Scripture to guide us. If we are not equipped in the spiritual truth, we will fall into temptation and sin.Sin can be defined as anything against God. Sin that is of human nature is our instinctive reactions that go against the Word of God. Sin that is of human intent is our willingness to serve something that is not God. This book contains questions that you may or may not be going through in this very moment, and I believe that alongside the Scriptures, this book can help you understand the sinful world we live in, as well as the sins that are growing in your heart.

A Christian is sent out as an ambassador of Christ. But where? And for what purpose? Live Your Assignment: Being Christ's Ambassador in 7 Spheres of Life unpacks God's highest purpose for the Christian life, which is much more radical and transformative than living a comfortable, spiritual life. This book echoes some of the work of Os Guinness's The Call, and challenges us, as disciple of Jesus, to further awaken ourselves to the tasks as representatives of God himself, and ministers of reconciliation. Phil presents God-given assignments in 7 key spheres of life; the self, creation, household, fellowship, city, nation, and world. It is through these assignments, which God gives to all those who love him, that God is filling the universe with his glory. Phil presents a unique angle on discipleship and life-calling/vocation in this book. He challenges followers of Jesus to apply these principles to their lives, as he has to his own as an individual, son, husband, father, pastor, mission leader, and servant in the wider body of Christ through the EFC and WEA. This book is a great resource for everyone seeking to bring glory to God in the whole of life.

The residue from past relationships, trials, and experiences will leave us with a filthy palate. We can have a lot of life's remaining leftover flavors ruining our present course.
