Do you want your life to really count? If so, you must learn to
make the right choices because the choices you make turn around to
make you. The way you choose has the potential of increasing or
decreasing your joy in life. Making a quality choice between
several alternatives is tough. To ease the path and alleviate the
problem of making wrong choices, this book presents twelve major
criteria you should consider in making choices. These criteria
include: The Greatest Tragedy The Greatest Mistake The Greatest
Priority The Greatest Knowledge The Greatest Pursuit The Greatest
Motive The Greatest Motivation The Greatest Influence The Greatest
Enemy The Greatest Friend The Greatest Helper The Greatest Power
These criteria affect our personal, social, and spiritual life.
Choosing the best involves making choices in view of the criteria.
It involves having priorities and being focused in life. Choosing
the best is knowing what God wants you to accomplish in life and
investing your resources-time, talent, and treasure-on just that.
In short, it is to live for the things that really matter in the
long run.
The spirit of depression does not need an invitation to dinner
because it just shows up unexpectedly and brings nothing but
turmoil and self-destruction. One never knows when the spirit of
depression will visit, but it is my hope this book will prepare you
through awareness, worship and the power of our Lord and
Savior.
If the devil wrote a book, it would be Murder He Wrote, because
he comes to kill, steal, and destroy our hopes and dreams. I
believe God has used me as a vehicle to write this book, so that we
can make this declaration together: "I will rise above it " This is
not your end, but only your beginning. Let's get started.
For centuries scientists and theologians have argued about the
origin, structure, function, and purpose of the universe, with no
end in sight. In the meantime, the average human being, when not
overwhelmed by activities needed for mere survival, has wondered
who we are, where we came from, and why we're here. Dr. Michael
Bohley believes that the answers we seek are hiding in plain sight,
available to anyone with a healthy brain, regardless of level of
education or specialization in certain obscure fields of science,
theology, or philosophy. The answers are to be found within the
sphere of our beliefs and how they help to shape the world around
us.
This book is dedicated to the unrelenting pursuit of Biblical truth
concerning our apostolic founders' vision of Christ's interactive,
maturing church. As the early apostles were committed to the
growing-up of each individual disciple of the Body of Christ, so
this book is written to challenge and exhort all believers and
followers of Christ to not settle for the same-old predictable
church style of stale hierarchal leadership with mediocre followers
and results. If the reader would be willing to humble oneself and
dare to become boldly unchained and unafraid of embracing what is
presented in this book, through scriptural truth, then a much
greater understanding of the goals of early Christian discipleship
could be greatly realized for the full stature and steely strength
of united saints in these most desperate of latter times.
"I would love to look more like Jesus. But I just can't . . . "
Many Christians are longing for change. They make an intentional
effort, but when they realize they are not making any progress,
they become frustrated. In this book, the author uses 2 Corinthians
3:18 to point us to a way to expect everything from Jesus and his
Spirit. You only need to do one thing: Look to Jesus in faith and
enjoy his glorious radiation Then the Spirit will increasingly
reproduce Jesus' own glorious beauty in your life. Via this new
approach, Jos Douma knows how to touch and articulate the core of
the Christian faith. In doing so, he shows how the Christian life
is really worthy living.
