What does it mean to make Christlike disciples? Discipleship is a common word in churches today. Pastors and leaders are continually looking for resources to help their members develop a deeper understanding of the Christian faith and a closer relationship with Christ. But there's more to discipleship than studying and following Christ's teachings. True discipleship is an invitation to become like Christ; to absorb His passions, behaviors, and wisdom by spending significant time with Him; to engage in a relationship with Him that shapes you into His likeness and in turn, inspires others to do the same. Walk with Me calls pastors, church leaders, teachers, and parents to go beyond basic discipleship and begin to intentionally teach others to be disciplemakers. It explores the importance of teaching mature disciples how their Christ-influenced responses to everyday situations can be used to show others who Jesus is and what it means to be His disciple. With biblical insight, author Hal Perkins explores the call to 'go and make disciples of all nations' and demonstrates how changing the way we act, think, and serve will not only help us fulfill the Great Commission, but also answer the call to love God with all our hearts and minds, and our neighbor as ourselves.

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.

Angels in the Market Place explores the establishment of Christianity in seventh century England. Augustine of Canterbury has received most of the credit, but what of his forerunner, Bishop Liudhard? He was already chaplain of Queen Bertha of Kent, and was honoured at the time with a magnificent gold medalet and a place in the royal mausoleum. This play supposes that Liudhard was exiled from his diocese and almost erased from history because he was married, when clerical marriage was highly repugnant to Pope Gregory the Great. This play is intended for reading, even if rarely performed. As with the historical plays of Shakespeare, events and characters come alive and the issues raised can be explored. The author is a retired Senior Lecturer of the University of London who for fifty years has lived in Wye, a royal vill of the Kingdom of Kent, where a pre-Christian shrine was replaced by a Saxon minster church dedicated to Gregory. He has written a number of books and articles on local history.

You are not an accident. Even before the universe was created, God had you in mind, and he planned you for his purposes. These purposes will extend far beyond the few years you will spend on earth. You were made to last forever! Self-help books often suggest that you try to discover the meaning and purpose of your life by looking within yourself, but Rick Warren says that is the wrong place to start. You must begin with God, your Creator, and his reasons for creating you. You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense. This book will help you understand why you are alive and God's amazing plan for you - both here and now, and for eternity. Rick Warren will guide you through a personal 40-day spiritual journey that will transform your answer to life's most important question: What on earth am I here for? Knowing God's purpose for creating you will reduce your stress, focus your energy, simplify your decisions, give meaning to your life, and, most importantly, prepare you for eternity. The Purpose Driven Life is a blueprint for Christian living in the 21st century - a lifestyle based on God's eternal purposes, not cultural values. Using over 1,200 scriptural quotes and references, it challenges the conventional definitions of worship, fellowship, disciple.

Hierdie boek handel oor die onderstebo koninkryk van God.

Hierdie koninkryk wat op 'n heel anderster manier werk as wat ons mense werk. Jesus se slagspreuk; die koninkryk van die hemel is hier word getakel in hierdie stuk met 'n spesifieke verwysing na vele van sy gelykenisse en aforismes.

Wanneer ons na Jesus se lering en stories, in die maatskaplike en politiese konteks van sy tyd kyk ontbloot dit 'n heel ander perspektief. 'n Perspektief wat ongemaklik, selfs irriterend, tog steeds lewegewend is. Hierdie koninkryk wat alles op sy kop kom draai het, of eintlik weer regop gedraai het, is waar ons, ons menslikheid herontdek.

Die boek is opgedeel in drie dele, drie areas en aspekte van elke mens se lewe wat Jesus op hulle, kop of weer regop, kom draai het. Ek en God, ek en myself, en ek en my dorp.

Hierdie werk se doel is ook om die ‘Liewe Jesus’ beeld te dekonstrueer, en die radikaliteit van Jesus se boodskap en die koninkryk na vore te bring.

Many parents have taken a defeatist approach toward understanding their teens, and not without good reason; it does often seem hopeless, after all. But that's where you, the volunteer youth worker, come in. Mark Oestreicher shows that Understanding Today's Teenager is both possible and rewarding, if one has the right tools. Marko explores the dimensions of nature vs. nurture, brain activity, culture, biology, and emotional development, all of which lead teenagers to do the wacky things they do that adults don't understand and often can't remember having done themselves. Marko also reminds us that adolescent development doesn't end at the age of 18 just because United States law says it does. A Volunteer Youth Worker's Guide to Understanding Today's Teenager uses a combination of science, logic, and compassion to help bring us back from the cliff edge and remember why we started working with teens in the first place. Use this book as a jumping-off point to re-ignite your passion for teens.

Most of this book was at some point or other written as articles which could be read as stand-alone items so one way of reading this book would be to simply read it - a section at a time and hopefully with Bible in hand, looking up the passages I have used. Would that all walked with God and acknowledged his sovereignty! It is one of the great human tragedies that people generally choose to go their own way and that the relationship with their Maker is broken. If we are to 'put the world to rights' we must start with ourselves and ensure that our relationship with God is put right first and then we must continue to search out a path which will keep us in step with Him and ultimately bring us upon a path which will lead to a time and place on earth where all is right with God. First we must get to know God. Second understand the nature we have and how we are separated from Him. Thirdly it is necessary to understand that God has provided a way by which sin's breach has been resolved through the saviour God has provided; Jesus Christ. And finally, we need to know where we are headed. And who is going with us. It is important to acknowledge at this point that the answers to all our questions are in the Bible. How should we regard this book?
