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.

In every generation, when dangers gather, there is a group of men
and women courageous enough to confront evil and inform the
populace.Sometimes unpleasant truths need to be presented; most of
us would rather stand back and kick a toe in the dirt. You know,
let someone else do it. Someone else is courageous enough to tell
us the truth. Tom Horn & Friends research, publish, and speak
about some of the most important topics of our time. Pandemonium?'s
Engine is the vehicle through which Tom and an elite team of
commentators are informing a still-sleeping public about radical
changes coming to our culture very soon.In particular, the
technological advances that have brought us to the doorstep of
life-altering realities are such that the man-on-the-street is
struggling to make sense of our world. The book you are about to
read is a landmark offering, making such issues as transhumanism
compelling reading. A shadowy world of intrigue, power-grabs, and
seismic changes in daily life is the stuff of sci-fi movies. Yet
the authors contributing to Pandemonium?'s Engine show us in
disturbing detail that these mind-blowing technologies are quite
real.For example, Cris D. Putnam writes in Christian Transhumanism:
Pandemonium?'s Latest Ploy: Transhumanism is a transnational
technocratic trend that promises to break through human biological
limitations by radically redesigning humanity. Sound like a campy
Star Trek episode, or a movie plot from Stanley Kubrick?As a matter
of fact, they are, but rooted in present reality. Change agents in
our world are working feverishly to harness the powers of human
ingenuity, to wreak havoc on our way of life. Chuck Missler writes
in Pandora?'s Box for the 21st Century? The Sorcerer?'s Apprentice
that the seductiveness of medical advances mask a diabolical
agenda. For example, he mentions that the drive to, among other
things, develop receptors that could impinge the constriction of
blood vessels and thus the scourge of hypertension is a source of
optimism. As are drugs that inhibit damage from brain trauma, or
genetic research that could cure diabetes.But Chuck knows that some
researchers would trample over ethical boundaries and move past
such positive research into frontiers humans were not meant to
go.Frederick Meekins chapter, Examples of Transhumanism in Popular
Culture identifies how we have been brought along to accept
technologies. We ve been conditioned, by popular television series
like Star Trek, and films like Spiderman, to subtly be prepared for
radical, sweeping tampering with the human mind and body.John
McTernan writes about embodied intelligence robots, biocomputers,
and other space-age technologies many of us have made the mistake
of believing lie in the realm of fiction. Providing perspective is
Noah Hutchings, who traces advances in technology from the time of
another Noah, to the present time.All these authors, and several
more, provide a searing report on just how ambitious the builders
of the New Babel really are. Pandemonium?'s Engine will stun
you.That?'s good. You need to wake up. History shows that those who
make reasonable preparations are much better equipped to deal with
colossal changes than those who prefer to fully trust their
handlers.I well remember the days when my uncle was on the ground
floor of computer technology, tinkering with those machines the
size of refrigerators. I remember reading George Orwell?'s 1984 and
laughing that such a far-in-the-future could actually arrive. We
are well past 1984, figuratively and literally. Pandemonium?'s
Engine will show you just how far past. Read and prepare.
Counseling someone who is dying or consoling a family who has
suffered a death is one of the hardest parts of ministry. In times
like these it's important for pastors to know what to say and how
best to offer their support. Pastoral Care in Times of Death and
Dying is a practical guide that offers step-by-step direction and
solid advice for handling the difficult responsibility of
ministering to others in situations surrounding death. From
visiting and shepherding the terminally ill to overseeing funeral
arrangements and comforting grieving families, Danny Goddard helps
pastors, chaplains, and lay leaders understand their roles and
bereavement responsibilities so they ll know the best way to offer
compassion, love, and support to those who need it most.
In this updated version of his best-selling book, Swindoll
poignantly and honestly portrays the need for authentic love and
transparency.
In a world that focuses on images, sound bites, and quick
impressions, we have forgotten how to really know one another. Many
of us recoil from true intimacy. Author Charles Swindollw
writes,"Full self-disclosure is something we tend to avoid at all
costs. In fact, we are prone to keep people out of our private
worlds by wearing masks―not physical masks―but psychological ones."
For example . . .
- The "I'm tough" mask hides weakness and fear.
- The "I'm holy" mask hides our struggle with temptation.
- The "I can handle it" mask hides bewilderment and hurt.
Removing your masks and relinquishing your defenses are
essential aspects of the Christian experience. And "Dropping Your
Guard" portrays Bible teacher Chuck Swindoll at his best, delving
into the treasures of God's Word to reveal strategic principles for
building open and genuine relationships.
Chuck Swindoll says,"My desire is that our Lord will open your
eyes to the value of authentic relationships, and that His Spirit
will free you to be vulnerable as you drop your guard with others
in the family of God. I assure you, the result is worth the
effort."
In his clear and accessible signature style, Derek Prince employs
his extraordinary understanding of Scripture to lay out the depth
of Jesus's great love for individuals and to help them discover
their worth. Using powerful biblical teachings on the parables of
the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl of Great Price, Prince helps free
readers from guilt, insecurity, fear, and shame, in order to help
them realize how incredibly loved they are.
In hierdie praktiese, toeganklike en lekkerlees-dagstukkieboek
is daar elke dag ’n nuwe bruistablet om in afsondering te lees,
te absorbeer en toe te pas in jou lewe – om jou innerlik te
versterk as mens. Dit is ’n reis na groter egtheid en verdieping
as kinders van die Here sodat jy (en ek) meer kan bruis en
minder kan brul te midde van ons realiteit en probleme.

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.
The conflict between a mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law has
existed throughout all of history. In the Old Testament, Rebekah
complained that her daughters-in-law were making her so miserable,
she'd rather be dead. Now, thousands of years later, we're still
complaining about our in-laws, often even hoping they really won't
ever come visit.In Mothers-in-Law vs. Daughters-in-Law, author
Elisabeth Graham examines this in-law conflict with aims to draw
readers into a different perspective: that women will learn to
recognize their in-laws as a beneficial relationship--a gift--to
and for the entire family.With sound biblical wisdom and clever
insights, Graham teaches women to find peace in all aspects of
their relationships with their in-laws.
Nina Smit help elke vrou om opnuut te ontdek wie die God is wat ‘n verhouding met jou begeer, hoe kosbaar jy as vrou vir Hom is en wat jou roeping en identiteit in Hom moet wees.

There are a lot of personality and intelligence tests out there designed to label you and put you in a particular box. But Dr. Caroline Leaf says there's much more to you than a personality profile can capture. In fact, you cannot be categorized!
In this fascinating book, she takes readers through seven steps to rediscover and unlock their unique design--the brilliantly original way each person thinks, feels, relates, and makes choices--freeing them from comparison, envy, and jealousy, which destroy brain tissue. Readers learn to be aware of what's going on in their own minds and bodies, to lean in to their own experience rather than trying to forcefully change it, and to redefine what success means to them. Released from the suffocating box of expectations, they'll embrace their true identity and develop a clear sense of divine purpose in their lives.
Knowing and understanding our identity empowers our choices. Unlocking one's you quotient is not optional--it is essential.
Christians are engaged in the ultimate battle-the battle for the
heart. The overwhelming influences of the media, materialism, and
selfish ambition threaten to decay even the most tender of hearts.
While the world screams to the contrary, every Christian must fight
to maintain a clear conscience and discover what it really means to
have the heart of God. On the heels of his New York Times
bestseller "Mind Siege," Tim LaHaye, with Ed Hindson, equip readers
with armor to guard their hearts and draw nearer to God. Some
chapter titles include: The Battle for the Heart The Ultimate
Deception The Erosion of Trust A Prescription for the Heart Finding
God's Heart
