'God doesn't demand hectic church programs and frenetic schedules:
he only wants his people to know him more intimately,' says D. A.
Carson. 'If we are to make any headway in reforming our personal
and corporate praying, then we shall have to begin by listening
afresh to Scripture and seeking God's help in understanding how to
apply Scripture to our lives, our homes and our churches.' In this
widely appreciated exposition, Carson works through several of the
apostle Paul's prayers in such a way that we hear God speak to us
today, and find strength and direction to improve our praying, both
for God's glory and for our good.
The Sacraments of baptism and confirmation are called the
sacraments of enlightenment. They are called this because they
illuminate the Christian heart and invite us into a community of
enlightenment and wisdom. They are the essential passages through
which Christians pass in their progressive understanding of the
divine. In Come to the Light, Richard Fragomeni meditates on the
meaning of the elements that make up baptism and confirmation:
water, fire, and oil. Water is the wave into which we are plunged
that brings both life and death, that draws us down deep into God.
Fire is the refining purity and the passion for God that transforms
our souls. The oil is the balm that soothes us and anoints us as we
move to a different state in our relationship with God.
In this book, you will find encouragement and a stirring deep in
your spirit that will help you press deep into prayer until prayer
becomes a part of your daily life. In this book believers will
learn the many ways of approaching the throne of Grace and
obtaining mercy in all areas of their lives. God gave us the power
of prayer; He wants us to use prayer as a daily part of our lives.
We must call on Him and communicate with Him in everything we are
going through; He is waiting to hear from us. He is our Heavenly
Father; no one has ever loved or cared for us like Him. This
step-by-step guide will encourage and teach you to make prayer a
part of your very existence. It will empower you to call upon your
Heavenly Father in the precious name of Jesus with regards to your
every need. This book will provide you with the tools to live a
victorious life through prayer and answered prayer.
