Book excerpt: An invitation for overachievers to discover what it means to rest as God's daughters without compromising their God-given design as doers. Are you a Martha who feels guilty for not being a Mary? Do you want to sit at Jesus’s feet as Mary did—but you feel the need to get things done? In Made Like Martha, Katie M. Reid invites you to exchange try-hard striving for hope-filled freedom without abandoning your doer’s heart in the process. Through her own story and rich biblical illustrations, Katie reminds you that it’s not important whether you sit and listen or stand and work. What matters is that your spiritual posture is one of a beloved daughter who knows she doesn’t need to earn God’s love. Your desire to get things done is not something to temper but something to embrace as you serve from a place of strength and peace—knowing Christ already did His most important work for you on the cross. With “It Is Finished” activities at the end of each chapter and a fiveweek Bible study included, Made Like Martha helps you find rest from striving even as you celebrate your God-given design to “do.” “Made Like Martha will infuse your life with a fresh perspective as you learn both to embrace your God-given personality and also discover how—and when—to rest and retreat.” —Karen Ehman, Proverbs 31 Ministries speaker and New York Times bestselling author of Keep It Shut

Download or read book The Milkman Story written by Paul Robbins and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-09-12 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Milkman Story is an invitation to explore or re-explore the Gospel message. It is told through the eyes of a Jewish carpenter who comes under the mentoring of a Gentile milkman. From their lives we see the milkman as a picture of Jesus who lived and worked amidst the people. Like a milkman, He delivered a wholesome product wherever He went. We also see Him as a Carpenter building a vibrant congregation of lively stones. His message was always fresh from the source and His structure strong, enduring, and splendid in stature. Though history has not always seen “Christians” in that light, it should be the mission and lifestyle of all who follow Him. "I have always been challenged by Paul Robbins' teaching - he speaks with a soft voice but rich wisdom born of his heritage. In this book he brings a fresh perspective to the age-old existential questions we all ask and arrives at undeniable, practical truth." Ruth Graham, author of best-selling In Every Pew Sits a Broken Heart ”The Milkman Story is a trove of treasures. Through Paul's amazing life-story and the impact of one authentic Shepherd, it offers simple, ordinary life moments in which we can reflect and discover the profound Kingdom of God transforming the ordinary, not through man's wisdom or skills or strength but through God's love. This is a riveting journey for the heart, mind, and soul.” Weyman Howard, Author, International Speaker and Founder of LOVEWORKS

Download or read book Comfort for Christians written by Arthur Pink and published by Sovereign Grace Publishers,. This book was released on 2007-01-25 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work unto which the servant of Christ is called is many sided. Not only is he to preach the Gospel to the unsaved, to feed God's people with knowledge and understanding (Jer. 3:15), and to take up the stumbling stone out of their way (Isa. 57:14), but he is also charged to "cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show My people their transgression" (Isa. 58:1 and cf. 1 Tim. 4:2). While another important part of his commission is stated in, "Comfort ye, My people, said your God" (Isa. 40:1). What an honorable title, "My people!" What an assuring relationship: "your God!" What a pleasant task: "comfort ye My people!" A threefold reason may be suggested for the duplicating of the charge. First, because sometimes the souls of believers refuse to be comforted (Psa. 77:2), and the consolation needs to be repeated. Second, to press this duty the more emphatically upon the preacher's heart, that he need not be sparing in administering cheer. Third, to assure us how heartily desirous God himself is that His people should be of good cheer (Phil. 4:4). God has a "people," the objects of His special favor: a company whom He has taken into such intimate relationship unto Himself that He calls them "My people." Often they are disconsolate: because of their natural corruption's, the temptations of Satan, the cruel treatment of the world, the low state of Christ's cause upon earth. The "God of all comfort" (2 Cor. 1:3) is very tender of them, and it is His revealed will that His servants should bind up the brokenhearted and pour the balm of Gilead into their wounds. What cause have we to exclaim "Who is a God like unto Thee!" (Micah 7:18), who has provided for the comfort of those who were rebels against His government and transgressors of His Law. The contents of this little volume have appeared from time to time in our monthly magazine during the last thirty years. They were, previously, sermons which we preached long ago in the U.S.A. and Australia. Here and there is an expression (especially where Prophecy is touched upon) that we would not use today; but since the Lord was pleased to bless them in their original form to not a few of His distressed people, we have not revised them. May it please Him to speak peace by them to afflicted souls today, and the glory shall be His alone. Pink (1890-1953) was a Baptist Preacher in England, Australia, and the United States. He is most famous for his book The Sovereignty of God. After its advent, he, assisted by his editor Mr. I. Herendeen, launched his yearly publication, Studies in the Scriptures in 1921. These continued until his death, totaling altogether 33 volumes of 288 pp. each. Most of Pink's books are taken from these yearly volumes (written monthly in 24 page format).

Download or read book The Comfort of People written by Daniel Miller and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of life, our comfort lies mainly in relationships. In this book, Daniel Miller, one of the world's leading anthropologists, examines the social worlds of people suffering from terminal or long-term illness. Threading together a series of personal stories, based on interviews conducted with patients of an English hospice, Miller draws out the implications of these narratives for our understanding of community, friendship, and kinship, but also loneliness and isolation. This is a book about people's lives, not their deaths: about the hospice patients rather than the hospice. It focuses on the comfort given by friends, carers and relatives through both face-to-face relations and, increasingly, online communication. Miller asks whether the loneliness and isolation he uncovers is the result of a decline of English patterns of socialising, or their continuation. This moving and deeply humane book combines warmth and sharp observation with anthropological insight and practical suggestions for the use of media by the hospice. It will be of interest not only to students and scholars of anthropology, sociology, social policy and media and cultural studies, but also to healthcare professionals and, indeed, to anyone who would like to know more about the role of relationships in the final stage of our lives.

Download or read book Comfort Ye My People a Compilation of Inspirational Works Including Essays Expository Writing Poetry Wisdom Affirmations and Faith Confessions written by Lionel Foster Sr. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-03-06 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comfort Ye My People is born of the authors endeavor, to portray the sentiments of the Living God, towards His people (Jew and Gentile) and to lift, thanks and praise to Jehovah God Almighty, in gratitude for His love towards us. Both title and content were inspired by the Spirit of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The new testament account of Gods dealing with the descendants of Abraham reveals Jesus Christ as the Messiah of both natural Israel (the Jewish nation) and the spiritual Israel (the Gentile believers). The spirit of Christ spoke by the prophet Isaiah in the Book of Isaiah. chapter 40 verse 1 and 2 concerning Israels warfare and comfort. He is the same Spirit who indwells the true believer, and who ministers comfort through and by the ministry gifts, for the strength, peace and prosperity of his people--both Jew and Gentile. Our prayers are for the peace of Jerusalem and for the prosperity of those who love her. So we, as the prophet proclaimed, endeavor to carry out the command. "Comfort Ye My People: Saith your God: Speak Ye Comfortably to Jerusalem and cry unto her that her warfare is accomplished and that her iniquity is pardoned: for she has received of the Lords hand double for all her sins". Isaiah 40:1-2.
