Download or read book Fully Known written by Mo Aiken and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We were made for intimacy--spiritual intimacy with God that brings oneness and bears powerful fruit. We were made to know Him and be known by Him, fully. So why do we often feel burnt-out, distant, and disheartened in our journey of faith? How do we cultivate true intimacy with God? And what does His design of physical, sexual intimacy unveil of the full gospel story? Sharing Word-backed, Holy Spirit-breathed revelation with humility and openhanded honesty, New York Times bestselling author Mo Aiken walks alongside us through the beauty and power of life lived in active communion with God, rather than the self-seeking, counterfeit faith we've settled for. Unpacking eternity-defining concepts that have become confusing, offensive, or altogether ignored--like submission, repentance, sanctification, holiness, and discipline--Mo shows us how God has given us a physical model of spiritual intimacy through His design of marriage, sex, and family. Exposing many roots of selfishness and perversion we see so often in our relationships, both human and divine, she invites us to pure-hearted and transformational communion with our Creator. If you've felt far from God, caught in broken relationships, dead in religion, and longing to be fully known, join Mo on this journey of return to right-natured intimacy with our First Love.

Download or read book An Invitation You Cannot Live Without written by Rev. Dr. Stanley Griggs and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Moses conversed with God at the burning bush, he asked God, "Who shall I say sent me?" God replied, "Tell them 'I am' sent me." In our burning bush prayer time when we talk to God will we take time to listen to what he wants to say? When we pray it is also important to listen to what God wants to say to us. There's a saying, "We have two ears and one mouth. We therefore should listen twice as much as we talk." There is purpose in our being. God has a plan for each of us. Prayer time with God is a time for talking and listening. How can we know what God wants us to do if we never take time to listen to what he has to say? If we are about God's business, we should try to find out the what and the why of his business. There is only one way to the Father, through Jesus Christ, and there is only one way we can discover what he wants and expects us to do. And that is through prayer and Scripture. The Scripture says, "This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it." There are twenty-four hours in a day. Can we not spare him time in prayer? Jesus knew what his father wanted him to do because he kept in touch with his Father in prayer. God has called on us and left a message for us to call him (see Jeremiah 33:3) He's waiting to hear from us. This is an invitation we can't live without.

Download or read book An Invitation to Slow written by Mark R. McMinn and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-10-22 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a day of fast information, fast fingers, fast food, fast shipping, fast words, fast anger, and fast judgment. Our fight-or-flight impulses keep us on high alert, aided by mobile devices that vibrate each time another crisis strikes. All this fastness can easily interfere with a slow, intentional life grounded in God’s love. Christian faith has deep treasures and practices to offer us. How will we live, and who will we be in this highly charged era where politics, economics, environment, and social norms are under significant duress? Come explore quieter, more intentional ways of being, and how these might attune us to the slow work of God in order that we might love one another and the world as God does. Our chapters pair a lure to move fast with an invitation to slow. Becoming slow to anger is an invitation to empathy, slow to judge is an invitation to humility, and slow to grasp is an invitation to contentment. Ultimately, each of these invitations is a movement toward God.
