This book explores some key biblical principles of the kingdom of
God and relates them to some (very) basic math. It draws on
geometry and divinity to come up with some innovative practical
theorems that are sure to titillate your mind and spirit. Put your
thinking hat on Once you are born again, you are expected to grow
through: faithfulness, obedience, observing, and doing God's Word.
I call it "FOOD for growth," "GrowthFOOD," or simply "GFOOD." Eat,
and live The book teaches that everyone has a life cycle. We all
have shelf lives, use-by dates, and best-before dates. Are you past
your use-by date? Furthermore, this book unveils a secret hidden in
1 Corinthians 12:31. Having church on the basis of spiritual gifts
is excellent, but God expects his children to put into practice the
agape love in its unconditional sense-the same way God loves us:
the more excellent way. Ever heard of the Pythagoras theorem?
Unveiling the connection between the Triune God and the tripartite
man (both 3 in 1), the book takes you through what I call the
intricacies of divine geometry, some interesting mental and
spiritual gymnastics. Every human being is a triangle, the
equilateral triangle being the standard of all shapes. Moving from
Pythagoras theorem to what I call masochagoras theorems, you are
sure to find out what type of triangle you are The book also
explores the meaning of numbers. Discover their significance in
your life. Some masochagoras theorems to do with numbers are
proposed. Enjoy the intricacies of divine algebra. True worship
happens when the human equilateral triangle connects in agape love
with the divine equilateral triangle. Let God's kingdom come in
your life. Apply the proposed masochagoras theorems and enjoy life
in the kingdom-forever
Our Hope is meant to be easily understood by anyone, Christian
or non-Christian. It can be read cover to cover, used as a
reference, or used as a group Bible study guide. Over 1,200
scripture verses from the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE(R) are
included, so references can be read as part of the text without
interrupting your reading to consult a Bible.
While the Kingdom of God is a mainstream Christian doctrine,
very few lay people understand it. To the majority of people, the
afterlife is a great mystery. However, the Bible clearly lays out
what the hope is of those who enter into a relationship with Jesus
Christ. He is the Messiah and will return as King to set up His
Kingdom. He is also our Savior, and, 2,000 years ago, He died to
cleanse us all from all sins. Our Hope explains how the Kingdom is
the thread that ties all of the books of the Bible together.
Our Hope covers the importance of the covenants, how the
conscience can interfere with your daily walk, how communion is to
remind us of the Kingdom, and when and how we will be judged. It
also discusses important concepts like salvation, judgment, outer
darkness, and much more.
So many various doctrines revolve around salvation, mainly
because the hope of the Kingdom is misunderstood. No matter where
you stand doctrinally, this informative guide will help you
understand the Gospel more clearly.
Growing up in the Midwest in the tumultuous 60s and 70s, the
author witnessed a foundational shift in American love and sex.
While traditional families showed us daily trials with characters
on black and white TV sitcoms, the country swirled with the
confusion of rapidly changing social norms. Relationships became
more experimental, and even those rooted in love for God were
caught up in trying to make this new life fit with what God defines
for us in the Bible.
For more than twenty years she hid her own life of substance
abuse, promiscuity, and same-sex relationships from family,
friends, and colleagues. She married, watched her marriage
disintegrate, and then despaired. As she finally found her
relationship with God, she found both the joy and the peace she had
been seeking. In this quest to share love as God intends and to
know family as he designed, she transparently offers her story so
others struggling with similar life decisions may find their
way.
"For a man's ways are in full view of the Lord - He examines all
his paths." (Proverbs 5:21)
One of the foundational Christian beliefs is that God has
spoken. Most of the time in the Bible, God makes statements. At
other times, rather than making statements, God asks questions. And
God's questions provoke serious thought. Many people have questions
they would love to ask God. Many more have questions about God. But
the most important questions are the ones God is asking us. The God
Questions explores these and other questions God asked people in
the Bible:
- Where are you? - Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? -
Why are you so angry? - Where have you come, from and where are you
going? - Why are you so afraid? - Why do you call me "Lord, Lord,"
and do not do what I say? - Who do you say that I am? - When the
Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?
The questions God asked people of ancient times are the same
questions God is asking us today. Discover the questions God is
asking you, and in doing so, find out what God has in mind for your
life.
