You can unleash the power of your faith as your greatest professional advantage and use the compass of God’s Word to guide you to your true passion and purpose in life. In this informative, inspiring book, DeVon reveals the secrets to maintaining your faith while advancing in your career.

When you step out in faith, he will open doors and bring you opportunities that will surpass even your wildest expectations. . . . If I have learned anything, it’s this: to get where you want to go, you first have to become the person God wants you to be.”

Download or read book Dynamic Faith written by Bishop Alexander Phillips and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concepts of "dynamic faith" and "the gift of faith" are illustrated best where the power works at deep levels, accomplishing what it is trying to bring to pass. Faith is action. It is doing what has to be done. When we see faith, it is work that was done to accomplish what it is desired to do. SUCCESS If you want to do the incredible, you must dream the impossible! The key to success is to dream big dreams and then go after those dreams with all that is within you, understanding that if you want to bring your dream to life, the problems don't matter. CHOICES It is not so much what happens to you but rather what happens in you! You have a choice in life. You can choose to be happy, choose to be healthy, choose to be wealthy. Success is a choice, not a chance! PERSISTENCE Life is going to say No! People are going to say No! But if you persist, then life will eventually have to say Yes! Persistence breaks down resistance. People are not finished when they are defeated, they are finished when they quit! Therefore, never give up! Persist! See your dreams turn into reality.
Download or read book The Other Half of Church written by Jim Wilder and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Could brain science be the key to spiritual formation? Why does true Christian transformation seem fleeting? And why does church often feel lonely, Christian community shallow, and leaders untrustworthy? For many Christians, the delight of encountering Christ eventually dwindles—and disappointment sets in. Is lasting joy possible? These are some of the questions Michel Hendricks has considered both in his experience as a spiritual formation pastor and in his lifetime as a Christian. He began to find answers when he met Jim Wilder—a neurotheologian. Using brain science, Wilder identified that there are two halves of the church: the rational half and the relational half. And when Christians only embrace the rational half, churches become unhealthy places where transformation doesn’t last and narcissistic leaders flourish. In The Other Half of Church, join Michel and Jim's journey as they couple brain science with the Bible to identify how to overcome spiritual stagnation by living a full-brained faith. You'll also learn the four ingredients necessary to develop and maintain a vibrant transformational community where spiritual formation occurs, relationships flourish, and the toxic spread of narcissism is eradicated.

Download or read book Irresistible written by Andy Stanley and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh look at the earliest Christian movement reveals what made the new faith so compelling...and what we need to change today to make it so again. Once upon a time there was a version of the Christian faith that was practically irresistible. After all, what could be more so than the gospel that Jesus ushered in? Why, then, isn't it the same with Christianity today? Author and pastor Andy Stanley is deeply concerned with the present-day church and its future. He believes that many of the solutions to our issues can be found by investigating our roots. In Irresistible, Andy chronicles what made the early Jesus Movement so compelling, resilient, and irresistible by answering these questions: What did first-century Christians know that we don't—about God's Word, about their lives, about love? What did they do that we're not doing? What makes Christianity so resistible in today's culture? What needs to change in order to repeat the growth our faith had at its beginning? Many people who leave or disparage the faith cite reasons that have less to do with Jesus than with the conduct of his followers. It's time to hit pause and consider the faith modeled by our first-century brothers and sisters who had no official Bible, no status, and little chance of survival. It's time to embrace the version of faith that initiated—against all human odds—a chain of events resulting in the most significant and extensive cultural transformation the world has ever seen. This is a version of Christianity we must remember and re-embrace if we want to be salt and light in an increasingly savorless and dark world.

Download or read book Assured written by Greg Gilbert and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite our professions of belief, our baptisms, and our membership in the church, many of us secretly wonder, Am I truly saved? We worry that our love for Jesus isn't fervent enough (or isn't as fervent as someone else's). We worry that our faith isn't strong enough. We struggle through the continuing presence of sin in our lives. All this steals the joy of our salvation and can lead us into a life characterized by legalism, perfectionism, and works righteousness--the very life Jesus freed us from at the cross! But Greg Gilbert has a message for the anxious believer--be assured. Assured that your salvation experience was real. Assured that your sins--past, present, and future--are forgiven. Assured that everyone stumbles. Assured that Jesus is not your judge but your advocate. With deep compassion, Gilbert comforts readers, encouraging them to release their guilt, shame, and anxiety to rejoice in and follow hard after the One who set them free.

Download or read book Foundations written by Casey M Sabella and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-04-22 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there a secret to growing strong in faith? Yes. Are you troubled by Christians who preach one way but live another? Does the Bible contain simple principles to ensure your life never collapses under the strains of everyday life? Author and pastor Casey Sabella has served in pastoral ministry for over forty years, knowing fellow believers' heartache who start strong but end poorly. Casey has condensed the principles of Hebrews 6:1,2 into a guide that will help you understand and become grounded in the same faith possessed by first-century believers. You'll discover why so many mistake mental assent for genuine repentance. What does it mean to have faith in God? Most confuse faith with hope and become disappointed. Is water baptism essential to salvation? What about infant baptism? Is it valid? Does belonging to a church matter, or can we serve God without joining a local gathering of believers? What is the baptism with the Holy Spirit? Are all Christians baptized with the Holy Spirit? Is speaking with tongues for today? What about physical healing? Why is laying on of hands a foundation stone? Is there a real hell? What about the resurrection? These are many of the questions Casey asks and answers while inviting you to investigate these truths yourself. Drawing from over four decades in pastoral ministry, Casey will help you take crucial steps towards lifelong spiritual transformation. Building on the foundation laid out for us in scripture, you will be empowered to meet any challenge life throws your way. Foundations is designed for individuals or groups who want to get serious about their relationship with God. Each chapter is followed by practical questions to increase understanding and use individually or in a small group study. God destines every Christ-follower to become a spiritual powerhouse and resource to others. If you're tired of a life governed by circumstances, I can help you experience lasting change.
