Download or read book God Focus written by Walter Price and published by Cross Books Pub. This book was released on 2009 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prophet Isaiah's life was forever changed through his vision of the holy God. In this God-focused moment, Isaiah also saw the sinfulness of his own life in a startling new way. It was a moment that would constrain and impel Isaiah all the days of his life. Like Isaiah, we need a fresh view of God. We need to see God as He truly is absolutely holy. We need to see our sin as God sees it. And we need to realize that while God demands holiness, He cleanses and uses imperfect people. When we come into the presence of almighty God, and we catch a glimpse of Him as He really is, we are driven to worship him in his absolute holiness. Is it still possible to encounter the living God today? Although we are prone to think of important people as unapproachable, the God of the universe not only has made it possible for us to know Him, but it is His deep desire that we do so. God Focus will lead you on an encounter with the living word behind the written word. Discover what was meant by the superlative song of the seraphim, the three-fold repetition of "holy, holy, holy," and learn simple biblical truths that will help you become more like Christ. By examining God's awesome holiness, as seen through Isaiah's eyes, you may get a fresh glimpse of the holiness of God in your own life. Perhaps you, too, will never be the same.

Download or read book Majesty and Mercy written by Bill Bagents and published by Heritage Christian University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-29 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isaiah saw the glory and greatness of God with remarkable clarity. He saw God's heartbroken disappointment as Israel rejected God. But prophetically, he saw God's passionate pursuit of God's people as God constantly called them back to grace. He saw God's judgment and holiness, but he reveled in God's majesty and mercy. Majesty and Mercy: God Through the Eyes of Isaiah invites us to see what Isaiah saw. The colossal establishment of the Lord's house at the top of the mountains. The wondrous suffering servant sent to reconcile the people to God. The rule of righteousness in the hearts of those who believe. The construction of a highway of holiness. Today, God's people remain a light to the nations, comforted, sustained, and empowered by the Father who loves us intensely. With the voice of a prophet and the heart of a poet, Isaiah calls us to lift our eyes in faith so we can see what he saw.

Download or read book Radical written by David Platt and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.

Book excerpt: For many people, remaining optimistic and feeling positive about themselves and their lives is a constant battle—especially when circumstances are difficult and life is hard. For others, negativity is something that only sneaks up from time to time, yet still wreaks havoc in their hearts. Regardless of the root causes, once pessimistic thoughts permeate our minds, our feelings and emotions begin to control us instead of us controlling them. Eventually it doesn’t seem possible to stay positive, happy, and full of joy, and negative thought patterns shake our faith, causing us to sink emotionally, mentally, and spiritually over time. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Despite what storms roll in, hearts anchored in God don’t sink. When we change the way we think, we can change the way we feel and live, even if our circumstances remain the same. Intentionally embracing the opportunity to experience a transformed heart and a renewed mind opens the door for a changed life, because a positive mind will always lead to a more positive life. In Unsinkable Faith, author and Proverbs 31 Ministries speaker Tracie Miles offers hope for women who struggle with negativity. Each chapter explores Tracie’s and other women’s personal stories, showing how they rose above their circumstances by transforming and renewing their minds. Unsinkable Faith is a breath of fresh air for anyone longing for a heart full of joy, an unbreakable smile, and a new, more optimistic perspective on life. This book will equip you to: Replace pessimism with positive thinking by becoming the captain of your thoughts; Learn how true joy and happiness are based on choice, not circumstances; Overcome unhealthy habits of negative thinking by intentionally implementing three easy mind-renewing steps; Stop feeling hopeless and pitiful, and start feeling hope-filled and powerful instead; and Discover that when you change the way you think, you change the way feel, and in turn you can change your life completely.

Book excerpt: Does God exist? How can a good God allow pain and suffering? Can we trust the Bible? Is Jesus a copy of earlier pagan gods? Is Jesus the only way to God? What does the Bible actually say about homosexuality, transgenderism, and abortion? Did Jesus actually rise from the dead? After living as a strong Christian for most of his life, Caleb Eissler began to seriously doubt the very beliefs he had so tightly held to. When he entered college, he began wrestling with these very questions. Eissler realized that Christianity had to answer these questions and more if it was to be taken seriously. Ready to walk away from his faith if Christianity was found to be false, he embarked on a journey to find the truth. After years of research, Eisslers faith wasnt just sustained, but transformed. He not only found the claims of Christianity to be true, but also to be even more amazing than he had ever imagined. Eisslers doubt, research, and soul-searching fueled a new passion to help others rationally think through the same questions he had encountered. Unchaining the Lion is the culmination of Eisslers research and passion. Unchaining the Lion sets out to bridge the gap of misunderstanding between Christianity and secular culture by laying out the claims and evidence for Christianity, while addressing countless objections and questions along the way. To non-believers, Eissler provides a coherent and easy-to-follow explanation of the beliefs and the defenses of Christianity, while challenging them on their presuppositions about the world, the Bible, and God. To Christians, he provides a solid and deep defense of the claims of their faith that will surely help any believer. Unchain yourself from the shackles of doubt towards Christianity as Eissler shares a truth that the world must hear.

Download or read book James written by Greg Gilbert and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Knowing the Bible series is a new resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply God’s Word. Each 12-week study leads participants through one book of the Bible and is made up of four basic components: (1) Reflection questions designed to help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) “Gospel Glimpses” highlighting the gospel of grace throughout the book; (3) “Whole-Bible Connections” showing how any given passage connects to the Bible’s overarching story of redemption culminating in Christ; and (4) “Theological Soundings” identifying how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture. With contributions from a wide array of influential pastors and church leaders, these gospel-centered studies will help Christians see and cherish the message of God’s grace on each and every page of the Bible. In this accessible study, pastor and author Greg Gilbert examines the message of James, exploring the book’s difficult teachings on wealth, anointing with oil, prayer, healing, and the relationship between faith and works. Through clear exposition of the biblical text and challenging application questions, Gilbert helps readers rightly understand James as a stirring exhortation to fruitfulness, ultimately written to remind Christians of the necessary connection between genuine faith and heartfelt obedience.
