Download or read book Starting All Over Again written by E. F. Grey and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-12-20 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The entire idea of this book is to provide a very clear and concise explanation of how to follow the path to obtaining a victorious walk in the Lord by utilizing His instruction outlined in the Book of Life, the Bible. If you are a parent, the concept is equally observed. Parents want the best for their children, they want to protect them from all harm and danger, they want to provide for them, comfort them when they are hurting, build them up when they are weakened, and they love them unconditionally. Why do we as parents have a desire to perform all these acts toward our children? The only reason is because they came from us and there is a strong bond that has been created between the unions, therefore, regardless of the obstacles that attempt to break that union, we find ourselves continuously reaching out to reconcile. Our love will not allow us to simply let it go. Well, that is the way God is. He is the ultimate parent and desires the same for us, His creation but on a larger scale. God created us so He can take care of us, protect us, provide for us, comfort us, strengthen us, and most of all love us unconditionally even when we mess up over and over again; He is still right there waiting for His children to come back to Him.

Download or read book Beginning Again Against All Odds written by Servant CJ Clark Evangelist and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-12-06 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we get closer to the end of times aka last days, we observe more Christians embracing the trends and traps of this world rather than upholding Gods standards of a more excellent way (1 Corinthians 12:31). After teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ for about forty years, it is evident to me that the spiritual fruit manifested through every believer begins at the root (formative years) of their spiritual foundation. If Christians have been taught to live life with one foot resting on Old Testament practices of the Law and legalism, and the other foot resting on the New Testament principles of grace and liberty, their lives will reflect frustration and ultimate confusion, because double-doctrine teaching neutralizes the effectiveness of the Word of God. Consequently, many Christians continue to struggle with surrendering to the plain, profound, and sound truth that Salvation is based on faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 10:9), alone. It is not earned through academic or theological education, social status, good behavior, penance, or ones financial portfolio! Thus, it is the responsibility of every Gospel Leader to mentor, model, preach and teach the gospel of Jesus Christ without compromise, diminish or downplay the role of the Holy Spirit, nor attempting to dilute Gods pure, potent, powerful and soul-saving Word through personal interpretation! This book is written to encourage new Christians of the importance in remaining faithful to God throughout their life, as well as inspire those who have become frustrated, living a double-minded lifestyle to re-launch their journey in Christ with a renewed mindset, understanding that the Saints are called to standup and standout for the cause of Christ, against all odds!

Download or read book The Christian Journey written by Jason Pfledderer and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-03-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: hips of your life. Placing your trust in Jesus as your Savior is a huge turning point in life, but it does not mean that suffering and trials are over. Becoming a Christian starts a journey; the Christian journey begins the moment you are born again and lasts until the day you die. Some people think, "I made my decision. Jesus is my Savior." However, when you look at their lives, you do not see any change even though they claim to be Christians. If that is the case, then you can be very sure that they were not truly regenerated by the Holy Spirit. The Bible says that the Christian is a "new creation." That means that there will be change in a person who has been regenerated by the Holy Spirit. This book's purpose is to help God's people understand and stick with the Christian journey. You are saved by faith alone, but the Christian journey doesn't stop when you're saved-it's just the beginning.

Download or read book The Beginning of the Journey written by Todd Taylor and published by . This book was released on 2016-05-20 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So many people who give their hearts to Christ today are left to find their own way in their new life. What is the next step and what do we do from here? The Beginning of the Journey will give the footing that is needed for new converts to get stabilized in their new life. This book will take you through those things that are needed in every Christian's life every day that he or she lives in this world. Before a person can really start the journey, they must get their salvation nailed down. Those who do not have the assurance of their salvation struggle to grow in the Lord. They find it hard to be productive and fruitful in the Christian walk because they are always struggling with the question "Am I truly saved?" Every trouble and trial that comes along brings them back to this question. Many say they do not "feel" saved and wonder if they have truly been born again. Their feelings will deceive them until they get complete assurance of their eternal salvation. It is not based upon how we feel; it is based upon what we believe about the Word of God. You must study the Word of God to show yourself approved unto God. It is a very profitable book, and it should be the center of the Christian's life in this world. As a Christian, you must have a consistent fervent prayer life if you are going to be able to finish your journey with honor. This book will equip you with the things that you will need to live a life that is pleasing to God. You can see how to know and contend for the faith while being equipped with the whole armor of God to withstand the enemy. You will be victorious in your Christian life, and you can have a positive and powerful impact on the world around you. I pray this book will help you get the footing you need in your journey.

Download or read book The Expulsive Power of a New Affection written by Thomas Chalmers and published by Gideon House Books. This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” — 1 John 2:15 Those who struggle with habitual sin are keenly aware of the despair and fatigue that comes from trying harder and harder to control the desire to do what is wrong in the eyes of God. For this person, there be times of limited success in overcoming sin, but eventually he/she falls back again into unhealthy patterns. In "The Expulsive Power of a New Affection", Thomas Chalmers argues that no matter how hard we may try, we’ll never overcome habitual sin in our lives unless we switch our affections from the world to Jesus Christ. Thankfully Christ loved us first and is more than willing to set us free if we’d only realize the true Gospel power that we can all have in our lives today.

Download or read book A Christian Journey written by Amelia D Kumar and published by Notion Press. This book was released on with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Christian Journey with Faith and Fortitude is a collection of three enduring messages to the present world torn in fear and despair. Here the author explains how faith becomes the first step in our journey with God. It offers consolation for broken and contrite hearts. The author combines scripture with practical guidance to inspire her readers. Sharing her own faith in God, Amelia D Kumar narrates the challenges from scoffing sceptics, and proves the power of the risen Lord. She asserts that God sends a host of angels to assist those who take a resolution to live by faith. This little book is an earnest attempt to explore and unravel the mystery of pain. No pain is sent without a purpose; it is confidential, she writes. With several Biblical references, the author’s style of writing is fascinatingly simple and it fits the grand theme of God and man. The reader is invited to wear the armour of faith and join the great journey with Christ. In his foreword, Rt. Rev. D Pothirajulu writes, “all the Biblical heroes of faith come alive.”

Download or read book Begin Again written by Leeana Tankersley and published by Revell. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when life begins to trip us up and failure starts creeping in? Many of us just keep on doing the same thing, hoping for different results. Some of us look for escape, to find a way out of the mess we feel that we've created. But neither enduring nor escaping is ultimately what we need. The answer is to allow ourselves to begin again, every day, in every part of our lives. Through engaging, lyrical prose, Leeana Tankersley shows women how to forgive themselves, develop new and healthier patterns of living, and do away with resentment and regret. Her life-giving words will free women who are feeling stuck and allow them to clear out the debris to make room for what God wants to do in their lives. To begin again is to open the window, even a crack, to let the breeze of grace come in. It is a call to stop running from our fears. To take one small step toward becoming the brave women we were made to be.

Download or read book Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time written by Marcus J. Borg and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the many recent books on the historical Jesus, none has explored what the latest biblical scholarship means for personal faith. Now, in Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time, Marcus Borg addresses the yearnings of those who want a fully contemporary faith that welcomes rather than oppresses our critical intelligence and openness to the best of historical scholarship. Borg shows how a rigorous examination of historical findings can lead to a new faith in Christ, one that is critical and, at the same time, sustaining. "Believing in Jesus does not mean believing doctrines about him," Borg writes. "Rather, it means to give one's heart, one's self at its deepest level, to . . . the living Lord." Drawing on his own journey from a naive, unquestioning belief in Christ through collegiate skepticism to a mature and contemporary Christian faith, Borg illustrates how an understanding of the historical Jesus can actually lead to a more authentic Christian life—one not rooted in creeds or dogma, but in a life of spiritual challenge, compassion, and community. In straightforward, accessible prose, Borg looks at the major findings of modern Jesus scholarship from the perspective of faith, bringing alive the many levels of Jesus' character: spirit person, teacher of alternative wisdom, social prophet, and movement founder. He also reexamines the major stories of the Old Testament vital to an authentic understanding of Jesus, showing how an enriched understanding of these stories can uncover new truths and new pathways to faith. For questioning believers, doubters, and reluctant unbelievers alike, Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time frees our understanding of Jesus' life and message from popular misconceptions and outlines the way to a sound and contemporary faith: "For ultimately, Jesus is not simply a figure of the past, but a figure of the present. Meeting that Jesus—the living one who comes to us even now—will be like meeting Jesus again for the first time."

Download or read book What If Jesus Was Serious written by Skye Jethani and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daily Devotions for People Who Hate Daily Devotions Let’s face it. A lot of Christian resources can feel cheesy, out-of-touch, and a little boring. But when Skye Jethani started doodling and writing up some of his thoughts about God, his Twitter and email list blew up. What If Jesus Was Serious? is a compilation of all-new reflections (and hand-drawn doodles) from Skye. He takes a look at some of Jesus’ most demanding teachings in the Sermon on the Mount and pushes us to ask whether we’re really hearing what Christ is saying. The visual component of the book makes it memorable and enjoyable to read, and Skye’s incisive reflections make it worthwhile for any Christian. If you’ve traditionally been dissatisfied with Christian devotional resources but love to learn about Jesus and think deeply, this book was written for you.

Download or read book The Journey written by Rev. Nelson Brenner and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-10-14 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PrefaceThe Journey is a Christian perspective on life's journey from earth to glory. In The Journey, Reverend Brenner describes the Christian life in three aspects--past, present, and future or beginning, continuing, and finishing the journey of faith.He shows that the Christian life is analogous to the history of Israel in the Old Testament. Broadly speaking, Israel's history could be summed up in three stages--deliverance from Egypt, the wilderness sojourn, and possessing Canaan, the promised land.The author shows how the Christian's life similarly may be viewed in three stages--redemption from sin's bondage, living for Christ in a sinful world, and reaching our goal, which is heaven, the hope of all believers.His main emphasis is on the second stage, appropriately entitled the pilgrimage, which is obviously the present time of our journey--of living our Christian life now in this present evil world.Reflecting again on Israel's history, he shows how happy they were to escape Egypt but how discouraged and defeated they became during their wilderness journey because of hardships and trials and failed to reach their goal.So the author reminds readers who are on this journey of faith that it's not how you start but how you finish--and finish depending on what you do and how you do after your start and going forward. "So run, that ye may obtain," as 1 Corinthians 9:27 says.So many other words of admonition are given to remind the Christian that he must remain dedicated and determined throughout his journey to reach the goal. Again, listen to the apostle Paul in Philippians 3:12-14: "I follow after; this one thing I do, reaching forth, I press toward the mark for the prize." He is focused.Making the journey is a collaborative effort between the believers and God, our faith and his faithfulness.The author's aim for this book is to encourage you as you continue on in your journey toward heaven.
