Download or read book Come Lord Jesus Be Our Guest written by Marian Korth and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Come, Lord Jesus, be our guest." And he came-as a homeless man, a stranger, a friend. Marian Korth and her partner, Mim Jacobson, have served breakfast to thousands of overnight guests in their home, but they didn't bother to offer a cup of coffee to a homeless man huddling on their doorstep one cold winter morning. Why didn't they welcome this "Jesus" into their home? Marian has more to learn about hospitality, even after sixty years of adventures in hospitality. She can tell stories about being hospitable (or not) from: - Growing up on a small dairy farm in Wisconsin - Living in Chicago for twenty years - Returning to Wisconsin and turning their farmhouse into a bed and breakfast - Providing end-of-life care for guests who live with Marian and Mim in their home - Transforming their bed and breakfast into a spiritual retreat center Kindness is the common thread that runs through all these adventures in hospitality. The first verse Marian memorized as a child was Ephesians 4:32, "Be ye kind, one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." (She memorized it and still thinks about it in the King James Version.) In these stories, Marian reflects on what God is telling her about being hospitable. She thinks it's pretty exciting to know that God has told us, "Be ready with a meal or a bed when it's needed. Why, some have extended hospitality to angels without ever knowing it!" (Hebrews 13:2 The Message)

Download or read book Authentic Christianity written by Gene Edward Veith (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Burnt-out believers and spiritual secularists have given up any hope that an engaging and meaningful spirituality can be found in a single Christian denomination. So rather than attending worship at a local church, they attend to their spiritual needs elsewhere. Instead of being fed by a single denomination, they feast upon a smorgasbord of spiritual beliefs. And while these disaffected believers have not rejected the existence of God or the need for meaningful spirituality, they have strongly rejected whatever it is they think the church today has to offer.

Download or read book Walking On Water written by Tim Seeber and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2023-12-11 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faith is more than a series of facts or answers. It is a gift that touches each and every part of our lives. A school bus, bird feeder, or even a beagle can become an opportunity for clarity about God’s presence in the ordinary. As he did in his first book "Life Crossings," Seeber takes normal moments of life such as trash, parakeets, or a broken wood carving to unwrap the practical nature and power of faith. Surprises and disappointments can become wonderful moments to feel God’s presence in practical ways. Seeber’s insightful use of such moments encourages his readers to take advantage of similar opportunities in their own lives of faith.
