Moving on is not a one-time decision. It's a way of living.
There are times in life when we look back and feel desperate to make time stand still, particularly when we get blindsided by unexpected changes. But we can't stop the flow of life, and we can't stop time. What's more, looking back doesn't enable us to go back. More often than not, it just makes us stuck. In a place. In a space. In a memory. In a mindset. In a habit.
In Luke 17:32, Jesus drops three little words: "Remember Lot's wife." We don’t know her name, history, or story. All we know is that when she was fleeing Sodom and Gomorrah, she was told not to look back, and she did the one thing she was asked not to do. She looked back and turned into a pillar of salt. And out of the 170 women referred to in the Scriptures, she's the only one Jesus told us to remember.
With a rallying cry to "Remember Lot's wife," Bible teacher, international speaker, activist, and bestselling author Christine Caine motivates us to stop looking back, to get unstuck and to keep moving forward into God's promises and purpose for our lives.
We may not know all God's plans for us. We may not know where we are going, how long it will take us, or what we will encounter along the way, but with the strategies Christine Caine gives, we can move on from where we are to where God wants us to be.
40 Days with the Holy Spirit will inspire you to encounter God in
fresh and surprising ways. You'll develop stronger spiritual
muscles as you breathe, read, reflect, and pray-all with an eye to
cultivating a relationship with the least familiar member of the
Trinity. The book is interactive, offering the opportunity to write
and pray each day; intelligent, rooted in a rigorous study of
scripture, from Genesis to Revelation; and inviting, with 40
insightful, well-planned 20-30 minute daily exercises; and
prayerful, with 40 original prayers that capture each day's insight
into the deep, spiritual work of the Holy Spirit.
This is a wake up call and vivid warning to readers through a
vision of an avalanche that God gave Steve Hill, which represents
the false and heretical teachings from pastors and teachers that
are spreading to Christians worldwide. Hill shares how every aspect
of his vision relates to Christians today. The snow represents the
false teaching that is steadily falling on the ears of many Christ
followers, covering with many layers the solid foundational truth
of Christ. Heresies including universalism, the deification of man,
overemphasized grace, and many more that will ultimately destroy
the spiritual lives of many.What happens when snow keeps falling,
creating the dangerous threat of an avalanche? Those who heed the
warnings are saved, but those who fail to listen are caught in a
deadly trap.Readers will be challenged to understand these dangers
and what they can do to help tear down these false teachings in
order to secure a layer of solid, biblical instruction that will
establish "truth" in the work of the Gospel, and help us avoid
spiritual destruction.
Is popular culture sinful or an imperfect reflection of God's
creativity? Turnau helps us understand popular culture from a
biblical perspective; why Christian approaches often fail; and how
to engage its challenges.
