Making your Tithing Count for your Growth in Christ Your Tithing to
Grow in Christ is more than a book. It is your devotional guide
designed to practically assist you in spiritually relating to God
personally in your tithing. As you use this devotional guide, you
will soon find yourself experiencing seven things. These seven
things are as follows: Getting you closer to God Thinking about God
Praying to God Reading about God Honoring God Giving to God Hearing
from God Next to the Bible, the Tithing to Grow in Christ is what
you and every local church member must have. It is the devotional
guide book that you need in order to tithe by the principle of
knowing and relating to God personally. That was the principle of
tithing God established with Abraham when he was made to tithe to
Melchizedek in Genesis chapter 14. Your spiritual growth in Christ
in the areas of trusting, loving, and being holy to God is
guaranteed with your use of the Tithing to Grow in Christ. It
situates you into building a strong personal relationship with God
and to nurture the integrity of the personal presence of God in
your life. The integrity of the personal presence of God is what
you need to be certain about the personal influence of God in your
life. Having the certainty concerning the personal influence of God
in your life puts you above, calms your anxieties, reduces your
stress, and gives you the peace and boldness to face any
challenging situation, as it was the case with David in going out
to fight with Goliath. A Groundbreaking Devotional Guide for A
Strong Personal Relationship with God
In the book, God and His Coexistent Relations to the Universe, the
author is rejecting the universe that Judaism, Christianity, Islam,
Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein have accepted for a long period.
To replace this old universe, an improved universe appeared from
the thoughts of Confucius, Anaxagoras, Plato, and Jesus, who taught
the death of our sun in Ch. 24 of Matthew. Unfortunately, this
teaching by Jesus was quieted for fifteen centuries by Irenaeus,
until Copernicus stood up and said that earth is not the center of
the universe. So, an improved universe was becoming very
interesting to many scientists.. This improved universe of
Copernicus would expand when Kepler found that our sun has a system
of eight precise planets. Slowly, the improved universe would
become very clear when Leibniz found the immortal human souls and
when Galileo found the bodies are made by these immortal souls. In
1766, Ben Franklin went to Germany in order to learn the immortal
souls of Leibniz. In the next ten years, Americans would separate
America from England, which still accepts the old universe. After
this separation, more discoveries would come to the USA from German
and Chinese thoughts. For example, Riemann would tell the world
that the relationships of bodies in the universe can be determined
only by our senses and measurements. With Riemann s statement, the
author concluded that God is always active. The author also found
that God and the bodies in the universe come together with
co-existent concepts. With these advances, the author rejects the
old universe and says that the people of many nations will form a
new religion under an active God."
In this classic, Augustine of Hippo describes how to interpret and
teach the Scriptures. Although written 1600 years ago, it considers
the role literal and allegorical interpreation of scripture, and is
particularly relevant today. A valuable, and readable resource for
preachers and teachers.
Do you find it more difficult to think of Jesus Christ as a human,
like you, than to think of him as God? You may believe in God, and
you may believe Jesus is God, but many Christians find it difficult
to think of him as a real person--fully human as he was fully
divine. Award-winning author Max Lucado reveals in this video Bible
study (DVD/streaming video sold separately) that in order to really
know God and understand the Gospel, it's essential that we take a
closer look at Jesus' humanity. The concept of Jesus' human and
heavenly nature is difficult to wrap our minds around. He's the God
who formed the universe and, at the same time, knows your personal
struggles...because he went through the same things. For
thirty-three years, Jesus felt everything you have ever felt.
Weakness. Weariness. Sadness. Rejection. His feet got tired. His
head ached. He was tempted and his strength was tested. The purpose
of this study is simple: by journeying through these six lessons
with a small group, you will get to know Jesus-and, therefore,
God-like you never have before. And by learning more about the
person Jesus was and is, we come to understand more clearly the
people we were created to be. The Jesus Study Guide includes: Video
teaching notes Group discussion questions and activities Bible
exploration and prayers Weekly personal study and reflection
materials. Get ready to study who Jesus was while he walked this
earth and what that means for your life today. In doing this, you
will get to know God, his purpose for you, and his love for you
like you never have before. *Designed for use with the Jesus: The
God Who Knows Your Name Video Study, available on DVD or streaming
video, sold separately.
Formation of Character is the fifth volume of Charlotte Mason's
Homeschooling series. The chapters stand alone and are valuable to
parents of children of all ages. Part I includes case studies of
children (and adults) who cured themselves of bad habits. Part II
is a series of reflections on subjects including both schooling and
vacations (or "stay-cations" as we now call them). Part III covers
various aspects of home schooling, with a special section detailing
the things that Charlotte Mason thought were important to teach to
girls in particular. Part IV consists of examples of how education
affected outcome of character in famous writers of her day.
Charlotte Mason was a late nineteenth-century British educator
whose ideas were far ahead of her time. She believed that children
are born persons worthy of respect, rather than blank slates, and
that it was better to feed their growing minds with living
literature and vital ideas and knowledge, rather than dry facts and
knowledge filtered and pre-digested by the teacher. Her method of
education, still used by some private schools and many
homeschooling families, is gentle and flexible, especially with
younger children, and includes first-hand exposure to great and
noble ideas through books in each school subject, conveying wonder
and arousing curiosity, and through reflection upon great art,
music, and poetry; nature observation as the primary means of early
science teaching; use of manipulatives and real-life application to
understand mathematical concepts and learning to reason, rather
than rote memorization and working endless sums; and an emphasis on
character and on cultivating and maintaining good personal habits.
Schooling is teacher-directed, not child-led, but school time
should be short enough to allow students free time to play and to
pursue their own worthy interests such as handicrafts. Traditional
Charlotte Mason schooling is firmly based on Christianity, although
the method is also used successfully by secular families and
families of other religions.
The Christian church hides a multitude of secrets; it is, after
all, a mysterious religion. For instance, what if Jesus did not
start Christianity? What if Paul, who knew Jesus only through
visions, created it? In Cover-Up, author and lay minister Lawrence
Goudge disputes the Christian theology that has dominated the world
for millennia. G
oudge, who has spent more than twenty-four years researching the
suppressed history of Jesus's Jewish followers, demonstrates how
the church has corrupted Jesus's message. "Cover-Up "takes an
innovative and investigative approach to Christianity, St. Paul's
credibility, and ways in which theological truths have been
concealed for two thousand years. Goudge's analysis debunks the
myths and provides alternative theories. A
s hatred and heresy haunt Christianity's shadows, this study
addresses the intolerant nature of the Christian church and sets
out to right the wrongs by bringing the truth about the Nazarenes
into the light of day. Goudge's message presents hope for a just
world.
Over the years I have collected and accumulated a number of, what I
call: "Bits and Pieces of Kingdom Wisdom and Revelations." This
book contains some of my favorite, power pack, key words of wisdom
and revelations. As you read you will understand my reason for
using this title. The little bits and pieces in this book will,
either, add too, or change your concept about certain views in
Christendom and kingdom insight. The title of this book is not
mentioned throughout the book; in reading you will, also,
understand why. For instance, this book is not written with much
detail, or with exhaustive information about any particular
subject. Most of my views are short with a proverbial fl avor; this
means, that sometimes it may seem as if you are actually, reading
proverbs. Some of these sayings might be viewed as, idioms, motto
and some, as I said, have the fl avor of a proverb, which from a
kingdom perspective, I believe, fit the messages in this book
perfectly. Most of these proverbial sayings were conceived in my
spirit and were birthed by the Holy Spirit, often times, when I was
in prayer. Many years have passed since I started recording these
sayings. I believe this book of Spirit filled wisdom should've been
blessing people everywhere long ago. My greatest desire for this
book is that every reader will discover a greater passion for
purpose, and a greater desire to grow in kingdom revelation, which
will be beneficial for kingdom living. This book contains a wealth
of, what I believe to be: wise spiritual snacks, lunch and
occasionally, readers might discover a full meal to dine on, which
is-without a doubt-good for the spirit, soul and body.
