Whether you need motivation for a challenging day or comfort during
trying times, All That I Need will provide you with promises and hope
from God’s Word. Written by well-known evangelist Angus Buchan, these
366 devotions aim to make you aware of God’s presence in your life and
that He provides all that you need.
Be encouraged to live out God’s love every day as you take inspiration
from the Scriptures and advice and encouragement from Angus Buchan’s
signature down-to-earth style.
This book is an illuminating guide on critical, sensitive and
salvation-based topics that will intrigue, educate, inspire and
above all promote the doctrine of salvation as the focal point of
the entire Bible. The book highlights the fact that humanity's
greatest need has never been the food that satiates his hunger, the
building that gives him shelter, the status that makes him relevant
or anything that caters to his physical needs, albeit it consists
of topics that discuss humanity's daily needs and how they can be
acquired in line with God's word. It adequately emphasises that the
salvation of souls constitutes the greatest need and should occupy
the top echelon of our priorities. The scripture says that faith
comes by hearing and hearing the word of God (Romans 10:17). But
what happens when the word is not correctly taught, or correctly
taught but not completely broken down and hence not properly
understood? This book breaks down biblical lessons in a manner that
will be easily understood by readers. Many have read the Bible and
taught from it wrongly because they missed the central theme of the
Bible which is the salvation of our souls but the words in this
book have been written to help the reader avoid reading the Bible
amiss and achieve this precious and priceless gift - salvation -
that will make existence in this world a meaningful one. The
lessons readers will learn are drawn from the context of the
scriptures, the express commands of God and from the lives and
experiences of several biblical characters. Readers are made to
examine some biblical characters' strengths and flaws, successes
and failures and extract valuable lessons that will guide them on
the journey through life. While people can scan through the Bible
and get a general understanding of the stories within these
chapters, this book will draw the readers' attention to vital
lessons they may not have noticed.
In this small but masterly-crafted book, Richard Rohr addresses
what Christianity views as the three traditional sources of evil -
the world, the flesh and the devil - to encourage us to look beyond
our personal moral failings and give us principles for resisting
evil on a wider scale. Exploring how Christianity has focused
almost exclusively on individual evil, or the sins of the flesh, he
offers a gripping interpretation of Jesus' teachings and the
writings of Paul the Apostle to show how vital it is that we also
understand the often subtle and well-disguised evil of the world
and the devil. This book offers no easy solutions. Yet, skilfully
distilling half a century of teaching and preaching, The World, the
Flesh and the Devil will leave you with a greater understanding of
evil and its role in the social issues of our time, and better
equipped to recognise and fight it. With his characteristic wisdom
and compassion, Rohr offers us principles for resisting the social
evils pervading our lives, in which we are all complicit, through
Christian contemplation and by reaching out to one another in love.
Celebrating Sundays provides readings from the Christian tradition
that offer commentary on every Sunday Gospel reading in the three
year lectionary. In the middle of the sixth century, St Benedict
wrote 'Let the inspired books of both the Old and the New
Testaments be read at Vigils, as also commentaries on them by the
most eminent orthodox and catholic fathers' (Rule of Benedict, IX)
and this set the pattern for worship and preaching which prevails
today. All the great patristic names are included here: Augustine,
Bede, Ambrose, Gregory the Great, Aelred, John Scotus Erigena,
Origen, Cyril of Alexandria and dozens besides. An invaluable
companion for preachers and for personal reflection on the Sunday
lections, this makes an ideal gift for confirmation, ordination and
anniversaries of priesthood.
Kinders vra soms uitdagende vrae, soos: Wie het vir God geskep? Waar is
die hemel? Hoekom laat God toe dat virusse oorneem? Kan God enigiets
doen? Kan Hy dinosourusse weer laat lewe? As God alles weet, hoekom
moet ek bid?
Dit is soms moeilik om te antwoord op eerlike soos dié. Bybelvrae en
antwoorde vir kinders is ’n handige hulpmiddel vir saamlees of

ervaring in kinderbediening, gee toepaslike Bybelgebaseerde antwoorde
op meer as 80 vrae wat kinders vra oor God, geloof en die Bybel.
Elke vraag bevat genoegsame Skrifverwysings, ʼn kort bespreking asook ʼn
interessante veelkeuse-vraag wat kinders self kan antwoord. Twee
woordraaisels is ingesluit wat kinders uitdaag om al die name van die
boeke in die Ou en Nuwe Testament op te spoor. Daar is ook ’n afdeling
met kort opsommings van elke boek van die Bybel, met sleutelverse uit
die boek wat gememoriseer kan word.
Dit is harde werk om ’n ondersteunende huweliksmaat te wees en jou
huwelik sterk en bevredigend te hou. Dit kan soms voel asof jy en jou

Deur 60 Skrifgebaseerde gebede help topverkoper-outeur Stormie Omartian
jou om:
• God se hulp te vra in 14 kern-areas wat probleme in ’n huwelik kan
veroorsaak, soos kommunikasie, vergifnis, kinders grootmaak en
finansies.
• te ontdek hoe om jou huweliksmaat beter te leer ken, lief te hę en
met hom of haar te kommunikeer.
• vrede te vind waar daar voorheen spanning was, beide in jou hart én
in jou huwelik.
Elke gebed word afgerond deur ’n kernvers wat jou sal leer om jou
huwelik aan jou Vader oor te gee, wetend dat Hy by met jou sal wees,
wat ook al oor jou pad kom.

In 1950, the famous Dominican theologian Yves Congar stated that
there were three kinds of reform in Church history, to cure three
kinds of corruption. Doctrinal orthodoxy was reformed by General
councils. Institutional shortcomings were reformed by
administrative means (like codifying Church law). Moral failings
were remedied best by the preaching of religious orders. He also
added that in the 20th century, since the Church suffered neither
heresy nor moral laxity, the only area was institutional reform. He
died before the sexual abuse of children came to light. If Congar
got it wrong, it suggests that the Church cannot reform itself: or
can it? Michael Winter was ordained priest for the Catholic diocese
of Southwark in 1955. He worked for nine years as curate and parish
priest in a variety of parishes. Later he pursued further studies
in theology at the universities of London, Cambridge and Fribourg
(Switzerland), where he was awarded the Doctorate in Theology in
1977. He resigned from the clergy in 1986 and turned to university
teaching, and writing. Subsequently.

Pastors and leaders of the classical church--such as Augustine,
Calvin, Luther, and Wesley--interpreted the Bible theologically,
believing Scripture as a whole witnessed to the gospel of Jesus
Christ. Modern interpreters of the Bible questioned this premise.
But in recent decades, a critical mass of theologians and biblical
scholars has begun to reassert the priority of a theological
reading of Scripture. The Brazos Theological Commentary on the
Bible enlists leading theologians to read and interpret Scripture
for the twenty-first century, just as the church fathers, the
Reformers, and other orthodox Christians did for their times and
places. In the sixth volume in the series, Phillip Cary presents a
theological exegesis of Jonah.
