In life, we often look for fulfillment in our performance. We try to
earn our way to happiness by achieving goals and meeting obligations.
We try everything we can to earn favor with God. But what we find
instead is disappointment, fear, and weariness.
In Grace, Period., Pastor Robert Morris shows that we don’t need to
live this way. What we truly want has already been given to us—we
simply need to receive it!
Looking in-depth at the life and teachings of Jesus, Pastor Morris
reveals the beauty and perfection of God’s amazing grace. He uncovers
its sheer abundance, lavishness, and extravagance, and explains what
happens in our day-to-day lives when we fully accept it. Exploring the
blessings we have now—access to God’s love, favor, and approval—Pastor
Morris teaches us how to find rest, gratitude, fruitfulness,
confidence, joy, and the list goes on.
In other words, Grace, Period. is a clear and compelling roadmap for
arriving at an end to striving and shame. It’s a guide for finding and
enjoying the abundant life God sent Jesus to purchase for us. A life
given to us by grace—only grace.
Explore significantbut often-overlookedaspects of aging policy!
This unique addition to the literature on aging policy will help
you understand devolutionthe decentralizing of service provisionand
the roles that state/local government and private organizations now
play in addressing the needs of our aging population. It will show
you how to initiate innovations and make positive changes in aging
policy through state and local initiatives, collaborations between
the federal government and other government agencies,
public/private collaboration, and strictly private initiatives.
From the editors: Around the world, the ground rules are being
questioned about the role of national governments in addressing
domestic needs. During the twentieth century in countries
throughout the world, central governments assumed major
responsibilities for a wide variety of human needs. Whether the
concern was income security, health, housing, or education,
interventions were premised upon convictions that a strong public
sector role was essential and that major involvement of national
governments was needed. More recently, a significant pattern
[devolution] has emerged in many countries wherein these
responsibilities have shifted away from national governments to
regional and local governments as well as from the public to the
private sector. Thoughtfully divided into five sections that
illustrate distinctly different forms of devolution, this book
first provides an essential overview of devolution and then
examines its implications for vital aspects of service provision to
the elderly. In the United States in recent years, the single
greatest focus for devolution has been the transformation of income
security protections for poor families. The federal Aid to Families
With Dependent Children program has been replaced by the Temporary
Assistance to Needy Families program. Devolution and Aging Policy
examines that change and other important facets of the current
climate of devolution, including: Medicaid-financed long-term care
state sponsorship of services in retirement communities the
implications of the Workforce Investment Act for the access of
older workers to training at a state level to upgrade their work
skills public/private sector collaboration in long-term care
insurance long-term care ombudsman programs what state governments
can do to help elders make use of information technology property
tax credits for seniors that are given in exchange for volunteering
on the municipal level how an HMO can encourage and stimulate
service coordination and more!

Thirty years ago, when compared to the U.S., England, France, and
Sweden, Japan had the lowest life expectancy for males and females.
Today, Japan has the highest life expectancy and is the world's
most rapidly aging society. Public Policy and the Old Age
Revolution in Japan captures the vitality of Japanese policymakers
and the challenges they face in shaping a modern society responding
to its changing needs. The rapid transition to an aging society
poses a set of complex policy and resource dilemmas; the responses
taken in Japan are of great value to policymakers, professionals,
and students in the fields of gerontology, Asian and Japanese
studies, sociology, public policy, administration and management,
and anthropology in other industrial aging societies. Readers of
Public Policy and the Old Age Revolution in Japan will discover the
array of social and economic implications that comes with an
increasingly aged society. Such a change in demographics affects
pension expenditures and pension contributions, capital formation
and savings rates, health costs, service systems, tax bases, labor
pools, career counseling, training, advertising, and marketing.
This book does not stop with these topics, however. Readers also
learn about: how older Japanese workers are staying employed and
employable policies in Japan for a smooth transition from work to
retirement Japan's Silver Human Resource Centers the new direction
of health services in Japan the Japanese financing system for
elderly health care the expansion of formalized in-home services
for Japan's aged Japanese housing policy and the concept of
universal design the Gold Plan, a comprehensive ten-year plan to
promote health care and welfare for the aged the concept of
ikigai--promoting feelings of purpose and self-worth in the
agedPublic Policy and the Old Age Revolution in Japan is one of
only a handful of books prepared in English by American and
Japanese authors for an international audience about aging and
social policy in Japan. The book's recent collection of articles by
leading scholars on the subject makes it a unique and timely source
of information. Above all, Public Policy and the Old Age Revolution
in Japan makes it clear that the rest of the world has many
valuable lessons to learn by studying Japan's approach to its
rapidly aging society.

Hearing God is not something you do. Hearing God is someone you
are. As believers in Jesus Christ, we naturally want to know how we
can hear God's voice. Does God speak? Is He speaking to me? The
good news is, yes, He is speaking. And like a radio host
broadcasting His voice into the airwaves, God speaks all the time.
The question is, are we tuned into the right frequency? In
Frequency, Robert Morris reveals a groundbreaking, Bible-based
teaching about hearing God's voice. God communicates with us in
multiple ways, whether through the Bible, through circumstances, or
even through a whisper. Robert Morris demonstrates how we can
mature from hearing His voice as sheep to hearing it as His friend
to even hearing it as a prophet. When we begin to understand the
general and specific ways God speaks to us, then we can begin to
cultivate a life of deeper connection with our Creator. In
Frequency, readers will...* Gain a better understanding of how to
recognize God's voice * Value the voice of the Lord * Discern the
general voice of God from the specific voice of God * Grow in their
relationship with the Lord by developing consistent time with His
Word * Enjoy drawing closer to their Creator Frequency will
demystify the process of hearing God and take you to a new level in
your faith. God is speaking. Are you listening?

esperanza para cualquier persona que tenga la audacia de reemplazar

New Look for Landmark Teaching on Living the Spirit-Empowered Life
In our instant-gratification culture, we consume a fleeting,
shallow diet of media, relationships, entertainment, and
spirituality. Our souls go hungry, longing for a fuller, more
satisfying life. Bestselling author and beloved pastor Jack Hayford
shows, in what has become a modern-day classic, how we can feed our
deepest places with the sustaining Bread of Life. With warmth and
wisdom, he reveals how we can link our souls to timeless practices
and principles set forth in Scripture. He invites you to rediscover
the power and blessing of these spiritual disciplines--of true
Spirit-fullness. Even more, he shows how these spiritual
disciplines are relevant for today and how we can practice them in
our quick-paced, surface-level culture. When we take time to fast
and pray, worship daily, feed on God's Word, and more, we fully
enter the rich adventure of becoming an effective disciple of
Christ--ensuring that our souls will never go hungry.

What if your pain and struggles were not punishments to endure--but
opportunities to showcase God's glory? Inspired by the story of the
blind man in John 9, bestselling author and pastor Samuel Rodriguez
shows us that sometimes Jesus makes your situation a muddy mess
first--and out of that mess emerges a miracle. With biblical

audacity to replace fear with faith, wash away the mud of the past
and walk through their mess into God's miracle. "A must-read for

Who is the Holy Spirit, and exactly what does He do?
Many people find the Holy Spirit mysterious and confounding. Why is
the third person in the Godhead--the one Jesus said would be the
believer's ultimate source of truth and comfort--the source of such
confusion?
In "The God I Never Knew," Robert Morris clearly explains that the
Holy Spirit's chief desire is for relationship - to offer us the
encouragement and guidance of a trusted friend. This insightful and
biblically-based book moves beyond theological jargon, religious
tradition, and cultural misconceptions to clarify what the Holy
Spirit promises to do in your life:
- Dwell within you
- Be your helper
- Guide you into all truth
- Comfort you
- Pray for you
- Show you things to come
- Never leave you
It's time to experience the Holy Spirit in a fresh, new way--to
meet the God you may have never known.
" "
""You will find no better person than Robert Morris] to introduce
you to friendship with the Holy Spirit of the living God.""
--Jack W. Hayford, founder and president of The King's
University
""This is one of the most balanced approaches to the role of the
Holy Spirit that I've ever seen.""
--Perry Noble, founding and senior pastor of NewSpring Church and
author of "Unleash "
INCLUDES A SMALL - GROUP STUDY GUIDE
What does it look like when pastors cultivate a culture of
generosity in the church by actively teaching and mentoring people
in the spiritual act of giving? It's generosity that's contagious.
A growing number of leaders are beginning to discover that there
are key factors that make some churches thrive with abundant
resources while others struggle with shrinking budgets. Jim
Sheppard and Chris Willard have spent years consulting with church
leaders across a broad spectrum of church settings and have
gathered their observations into this resource, part of the
Leadership Network Innovations Series. Contagious Generosity
highlights the best practices gleaned from real-life church
leadership situations and shows how church leaders can effectively
cultivate a culture of generous giving in the local church. It
explains why some churches are experiencing unexplainable ministry
growth and unprecedented church funding ... even in the midst of
tough economic times.
