Daar woed elke dag, die hele dag lank, ’n onsigbare oorlog om vroue.
Dit kan nie gesien of gehoor word nie, maar dit kan in elke aspek van
’n mens se lewe gevoel word. ’n Onwrikbare, bose vyand wil chaos
veroorsaak in alles wat vir ’n vrou saak maak: haar hart, gedagtes,
huwelik, kinders, verhoudings, drome en toekoms. Maar sy oorlogsplan
behels dat hy haar onverhoeds en ongewapen moet vang.
In die Bybelstudie Die wapenrusting van God, deur New York
Times-topverkoperouteur en motiveringspreker Priscilla Shirer, word
vroue met behulp van Skrifstudie en besprekingsvrae toegerus met die
wapenrusting van God, waarvan gebed die belangrikste is.
Die wapenrusting van God is meer as net ’n Bybelse beskrywing van ’n
gelowige se wapenrusting; dit is ’n 7-week-aksieplan om oorwinning te
behaal in die geestelike stryd.
""'Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be
food in my """house. Test me in this, ' says the Lord Almighty,
'and see if I will not"" """throw open the floodgates of heaven and
pour out so much blessing that""" """"you will not have room enough
for it.'""""" -- Malachi 3:1 0
In these uncertain economic times, does it really make sense to
tithe?
Douglas LeBlanc thinks the answer is clear enough in Malachi 3:10,
where God goes so far as to tell us, "Test me in this." The people
profiled in this book have done exactly that--and the effect on
their lives has been dramatic.
In these intimate journalistic portraits, LeBlanc shows us true
tithing in action. From members of the clergy, to best-selling
authors, to social activists both conservative and liberal, these
are the lives of real people who tithe in joy and plenty, in the
face of poverty and natural disaster, in community and missionally,
and as a spiritual practice commanded by God. They come from
different backgrounds and live in varying degrees of financial
comfort; but they all tithe--and wouldn't have it any other way.
Through their eyes, we come to understand this ancient practice as
God's call to a life of generosity, compassion, and joy.
"""""THE ANCIENT PRACTICES"""""
There is a hunger in every human heart for connection, primitive
and raw, to God. To satisfy it, many are beginning to explore
traditional spiritual disciplines used for centuries. . .everything
from fixed-hour prayer to fasting to sincere observance of the
Sabbath. Compelling and readable, the """"""Ancient Practices""""""
series is for every spiritual sojourner, for every Christian seeker
who wants more.
Have you ever looked back on your life and wondered if there were
situations that God was actively involved with but you didn't even
know it? This book gives principles that will help you recognize
God's presence in your life, guide your relationships, prepare you
for spiritual and emotional success, and motivate you to help
others recognize when God show up. This best-selling author teaches
the life-transforming principles he learned when he encountered God
though an unexpected spiritual experience, providing principles for
learning to receive God's love, face life's trials, cope with
temptation, and face disruptions of every kind.
