The "Glory" of God represents His divine qualities. They are revealed through His beauty, brightness, splendor, and radiance as well as His visible revelation of Himself. A fundamental belief in God is manifested individually, and corporately, through the local church. The local church represents a gathering place where any number of souls are called together and united in one vow, for divine worship, where the pure Word is preached, Godly living is taught, based upon The Holy Bible, as given by the head of the church - The Lord Jesus Christ. Further, we will discover that the local church serves three primary purposes: (1)It represents the body of believers who are saved by or because of their relationship with Jesus Christ (Body of Christ), (2)It is comprised of those who are assembled together by their bounds of habitation (the local church), and (3)We are the Bride of Christ (the local church is charged to teach its members how to live out the principles contained within the pages of The Holy Bible - God's Word). Kevin Wayne Johnson continues with his simple and systematic writing style to clearly demonstrate The Power in the Local Church within three parts and nine chapters. Part I - What is the Church? - establishes that the local church is revealed in Matthew 16:18 and cannot be destroyed by anyone who chooses to come against its message or existence. Part II - What is My Role in the Local Church? - examines the critical importance of reconciling others to Christ as His ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:18-20). These actions are manifested through service to others and understanding our specific roles within the confines of the local church. Part III - How Do I Glorify God by Fulfilling My Role in the Local Church? - is accomplished through our good works, togetherness (unity), and by "staying in your lane" through the twenty spiritual gifts that God gives us to compliment, in lieu of compete, other gifts within the Body of Christ and in the local church. We are instructed by God's Word to assemble ourselves together (Hebrews 10:24-25) for the purpose of comforting one another, to promote good works, and to demonstrate love and affection to everyone within our sphere of influence. It is through our good works that God is glorified (Matthew 5:16). Then, The Power in the Local Church is personified through us that represent Him in the earth.

Called to be Light in the Workplace - A Workbook is the revised and expanded version of the second book (2003) in this series. This workbook challenges its readers to be 'light' on their respective job(s) in each of the three phases of career progression: (1) Entry-level (trainee or intern), (2) journey-man level (middle manager), and (3) senior level (executive or mentor). God's Word ministers about how to encourage others at work and influence positive change in the midst of dysfunctional places of employment. Through the lives of Jesus, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Evangelist Billy Graham, Dr. Ben Carson, and many other recognizable and unrecognizable names, excellence in their jobs has raised the level of productivity of others. It is systematically divided into three parts, with three chapters each. Supported by the Scriptures throughout, the central theme of each chapter focuses on specific ways to let our 'light' shine and to Give God the Glory while at work each day. As with all books in the Give God the Glory series, it concludes with a family prayer to reinforce the contents within the books' nine chapters. Readers are encouraged to refer to the Give God the Glory series as collections of prayers, daily prayer books, and prayer books. Prayer shall change our lives for the better as we learn how to apply God's Word to our everyday lives. It can be used as a daily prayer book to learn why and how do I pray.
