Richard Rohr is one of the great spiritual writers of our time, and
he believes this is the most important book he's ever written
Many of us have felt the temptation to opt for a domesticated
version of the gospel. We want enough to make us happy and secure,
but not so much that it really affects our lives. We want ecstasy
not repentance, security not selfless love and service. We may not
like to admit it, but the temptation is there. It is nothing new,
but perhaps it is especially strong today. Many changes in society
and increasing self-indulgence all put pressure on believers to
water down the gospel and its impact on our lives. The apostle Paul
saw the insidious evil of similar influences in the Roman Empire of
his day, and recognized that these pressures could harm the
fledgling Christian community in Philippi. He couldn't visit them,
but he wrote to encourage them to maintain basic Christian
commitments and to be on guard against an array of dangers:
temptations from within and seduction and opposition from without.
In 'Basics for Believers', Don Carson opens up the
life-transforming lessons of Philippians, showing us how we can put
the whole gospel first, learn to live as disciples of Christ, and
never give up the Christian walk.

As a human, you have the absolute right to your beliefs. No one has the
moral authority to impose their views on you by force or by the threat
of eternal torture in hell.
God made you free.
Your beliefs influence your attitude, which affects your behavior. And
your attitude and behavior determine whether you find meaning and joy
in life.
This is Jesus Christ respects your mastery over your own mind. Instead
of telling you what to believe, this interactive book simply provides
information about Jesus Christ so that you can make an informed
decision. You decide what to believe. You write down your own thoughts
and independently grow to appreciate yourself.
As we mature, we increasingly value having a life of meaning. We want
our existence to mean something. We want to have joy, especially when
our lives are full of suffering, evil, pain, fear, and unfairness.
Among all the things Jesus taught, none is more tangibly valuable than
the secret to having a life of meaning. If you follow it, you are
guaranteed a joyful and meaningful life regardless of how awful life
treats you. All you must do is to:
- Love God
- Love your neighbor
- Love yourself
- Keep God's commandments
Our God is a God of love. If your attitude is love and your behavior
aligns with his will, then you can unite with him and share in his very
nature and glory. You will leave this world with joy, for as he is, so
are you.
This is Jesus Christ is a tool to help solidify your understanding of
the most influential person in history so that you can leverage that
knowledge into having a life of meaning and joy. Use it to your
advantage. You are worth it.
In the Lord I Take Refuge invites readers to experience the Psalms
in a new and refreshing way, featuring devotional content written
by Dane Ortlund.
Jamie Winship spent nearly 30 years living and working in conflict
zones, and during that time he has learned an important truth: all
human conflict originates from fear, and fear originates from a
false view of God, ourselves, and others. Until we exchange what's
false for what's real, we will never experience being fully alive,
fully human, and fully free. Unpacking the power of knowing our
true identity in Christ, Winship takes us on a journey of telling
ourselves the truth, changing our mindsets, and experiencing actual
life transformation that leads to radical courage in the face of
all that life throws at us. With humor, clarity, and real-life
practicality, Living Fearless is your invitation to listen closely
to what God is trying to say to you about himself, about the person
he created you to be--and also about all those other people he
created and loves. If you want to discover the incredible
difference abiding in Christ will make in your life and faith, get
ready to do "a new thing" with God.
We are living in the Business Age. The historic role of nation states is rapidly being replaced by the corporation. Like never before, Christian business leaders have the chance to play a pivotal role in transforming society and spreading the gospel. But seizing this opportunity requires thinking differently about God, about his kingdom, about his purposes in the world, and about business.
While some Christian professionals dream of being “freed from business” to go into the ministry or see business as enemy territory to be invaded for Christ, others are convinced that Christian principles simply don’t work in the “real world.” In Business as Mission, Michael Baer challenges each of these positions.
He rejects the unbiblical thinking that ministry and business are by definition separate activities — that our lives can be compartmentalized into the sacred and secular. Instead he guides business leaders in developing the vital characteristics of a kingdom business — the kind of business that will free them to live fully integrated lives and lead organizations that significantly impact the world.

realm.

Courts of Heaven activation prayers that will close the enemy’s gates

you. Take hold of your own deliverance and walk in freedom today!
God wants your heart. The whole Bible teaches truth and awakens
emotions, but the Psalms are in a category of their own. They do not
just awaken the heart; they put it in the foreground. They do not
merely invite our emotions to respond to God’s truth; they put our
emotions on display.
The Psalms are more than commanding—they are contagious. We are not
just listening to profound ideas and feelings. We are living among them
in their overflow. We touch pillows wet with tears. We hear and feel
the unabashed cries of affliction, shame, regret, grief, anger,
discouragement, and turmoil. But what makes all this stunningly
different from the sorrows of the world is that all of it—absolutely
all of it—is experienced in relation to the totally sovereign God.
Shaped by God is an invitation. God wants our hearts. He will take them
as he finds them. And then, with the healing contagion of the Psalms,
he will shape them. Accept his invitation to come.
