Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus is coming for His Church-without spot or wrinkle! God thought of you in a personal, saving relationship from the foundation of the world. Your personal salvation was not only well planned but demonstrates God's abiding faithfulness, as He prepares the consummation of His great plan for His Bride (the church). Spiritually speaking, the church is called the bride of Christ. Up to now the bride of Christ is simply betrothed or engaged, much like Joseph was to Mary before the birth of Jesus (Matthew 1:18-20). The wedding day waits. John saw a vision of the end of time, "Let us rejoice and be exceedingly glad, and let us give the glory unto Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife has made herself ready" (Revelation 19:7). The bride's splendid clothing was then described as "the righteous acts of the saints" (v. 8). When Jesus comes again, He will come "to present the church to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish" (Ephesians 5:27). In this book, you will discover how to personally and within a church to become part of His pure, spotless and wrinkle-free Bride. Are you preparing for His return? This book will help you prepare for His coming! Don't delay. Read every page and implement every teaching. Dr. Patricia Venegas along with her husband Reverend Benjamin Venegas founded Without Spot or Wrinkle Ministries International in 1998. In November of 2007, they launched their first church plant in La Verne, California. She is Senior Pastor and CEO. The congregation of Without Spot or Wrinkle Ministries International is Judeo-Christian, founded and grounded on scripture and the word of God.

Download or read book Without Spot or Wrinkle written by Karl Koop and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-06-18 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On February 5, 2000, the Institute of Mennonite Studies held a conference at Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary entitled "Without Spot or Wrinkle: Reflecting Theologically on the Nature of the Church." This conference gave attention to ecclesiology, in direct response to challenges that Mennonite church bodies in Canada and the United States have been facing in recent times. The phrase "without spot or wrinkle" comes from Ephesians 5:27, a text addressing relationships between husbands and wives within the Christian household. Historically it has also come to symbolize what Mennonites have sometimes believed about the nature of the church. Anabaptists, and Mennonites who came after them, have often maintained that the true church is a gathering of reborn and spiritually regenerated Christians called to be a community free from moral failure. At present, however, some Mennonites are questioning elements of this conceptual legacy, and, in light of personal failings and hurtful church schisms, are expressing doubts about its practical adequacy and theological tenability. The essays in this book do not provide a unified argument. What the authors have in common is concern for the church and commitment to faithfulness. Readers are invited to reflect on the issues and make their own assessments.

Download or read book Witthout Spot or Blemish 2nd Edition written by Kevin Airrington and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-04-16 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can someone continue to say that they love Jesus when they do not do the things He asks us to do? "That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it should be holy and without blemish." Ephesians 5:27 Today the church is in great peril. Preachers are preaching a watered down gospel and as a result people are living contrary to the Word of God. Does your lifestyle say that you love Jesus? I mean when people look at you do they KNOW that you are a Christian? "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man..." Ecc. 12:13-14 Our life choices boil down to just a very few significant issues. Are your priorities straight? As my daddy used to say, "Is your head screwed on straight or do you have water on the brain?" We must completely surrender to God and obey Him. When your feet hit the floor in the morning, you should be full on for God.
Download or read book Sex and the Supremacy of Christ written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2005-06-14 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible has a way of shocking us. If Americans could still blush, we might blush at the words, "Rejoice in the wife of your youth, a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love" (Proverbs 5:18-19). But, of course, sin always tries to trash God's gifts. So we can't just celebrate sex for what God made it to be; we have to fight what sin turned it into. The contributors to this unique volume encourage you to do both: celebrate and struggle. This book has something for all-men and women, married and single-from contributors like John Piper, C. J. and Carolyn Mahaney, Mark Dever, Al Mohler, Carolyn McCulley, and others.
Download or read book A Place to Belong written by Megan Hill and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2020-04-16 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians know church is important, but sometimes it doesn't seem worth it. An eclectic assortment of people with differing personalities, political views, and parenting styles can make for awkward interactions and difficult connections. What’s the point of putting in the tough work to build relationships? But the Bible says God’s people ought to be bound together. It uses words like beloved, brothers and sisters, saints, and fellow laborers to describe their mutual relationship in the church. In this book, Megan Hill answers a common question of churchgoers: What’s so great about the church? With rich theology, practical direction, and study questions for group use, Hill encourages and equips both first-time visitors and regular members to delight in being a part of the local church—no matter how messy and ordinary it seems today. It is only when God’s people begin to see one another as the Lord sees them that they will truly find a place to belong.

Book excerpt: Satan's desire has always been to be God. Because he will never hold that position he comes to steal, kill and destroy God's own. Gossip is one of his tools. It may even be the most effective tool to use against The Church. Would our Savior be here sooner if we didn't allow Satan to keep us separated and continue to divide the Body of Christ through gossip? No one knows the time of Christ's return but the scripture is clear about the condition His Bride is to be in when He comes to get her.

Download or read book The Hole in Our Holiness written by Kevin DeYoung and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2014-01-31 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hole in our holiness is that we don't care much about holiness. Or, at the very least, we don't understand it. And we all have our reasons too: Maybe the pursuit of holiness seems legalistic. Maybe it feels like one more thing to worry about in your already overwhelming life. Maybe the emphasis on effort in the Christian life appears unspiritual. Or maybe you've been trying really hard to be holy and it's just not working! Whatever the case, the problem is clear: too few Christians look like Christ and too many don't seem all that concerned about it. This is a book for those of us who are ready to take holiness seriously, ready to be more like Jesus, ready to live in light of the grace that produces godliness. This is a book about God's power to help us grow in personal holiness and to enjoy the process of transformation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We will never be short on fears. Failure, rejection, sickness, losing a loved one, being alone—the fears we carry are many and heavy. Fear can be a tyrant, a bully we can’t hide from. It can paralyze our spirit, damage our relationships, and hinder our faith. Trillia is no stranger to fear. She has known its harsh grip on her life, but she has also known the gentle hand of God, a peace and a faith from the One who conquers fears. In Fear and Faith, Trillia will encourage you as she reflects on Scripture and her own story. She will show you Jesus, who was tempted like you in every way. She will show you the character of God and how it inspires faith. And she will show you real women who have walked the road of fear—or are still walking it—and how they have found security in the Lord to be their strength. Whatever your fear, you are not alone, nor are you without hope. You have the One who can replace your fear with faith.
