Download or read book The Whole Counsel of God written by Tim Patrick and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2020-02-27 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expository preaching has been on the rise over the last five decades, with more and more pastors preaching through entire books of the Bible systematically. But few, if any, preachers have a long-term plan to teach through every book of the Bible over a lifetime of ministry. Since the whole Bible is God’s Word to his people, all of Scripture is important in order to grow as Christians. Written to make a case for the necessity of a long-term plan for preaching through the entire Bible instead of just through individual books, this is not just a book on how to preach, but also how to plan and prepare long-range preaching programs through the whole counsel of God.

Download or read book The Death of Porn written by Ray Ortlund and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2021-08-19 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ECPA Christian Book Award Finalist Your Battle against Porn Isn't about Porn. It's about Hope. Pornography may seem inescapable, but God can free us from its destructive power. The gospel replaces the dehumanizing lies of pornography with this surprising truth: God created us as royalty. How then can we reclaim our God-given identity to take a stand against—and ultimately starve—the predatory porn industry? In The Death of Porn, Ray Ortlund writes six personal letters, as from a father to his son. Ideal for individuals and small groups, it will give hope to men who have been misled by porn into devaluing themselves and others. Through Scripture and personal stories, Ortlund assures readers that God loves them the most tenderly in their moments of deepest shame. The Death of Porn inspires men to come together in new ways to fight the injustice of porn and build a world of nobility for every man and woman—for the sake of future generations.

Download or read book Deep Waters written by Temitope Siju-alex and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out." Proverbs 20:5 Moses, Elijah and Jesus Christ had 40 days encounters at certain points of their ministries on earth. Moses came back reflecting so much of God's glory that his eyes shone and his leadership took another turn entirely. Elijah was fed with angelic meal twice in one encounter and he went in the strength of the food for forty days and forty nights. The journey culminated in an encounter with God which gave birth to an unprecedented trans-generational succession in his ministry. Jesus came back in the power of The Spirit after overcoming the devil in the wilderness. These 40 counsels were hewed from the heart of God in a secluded place of prayer and a walk with The Master that spanned well over two decades of full time ministry work. Often, it is good to learn from other people's mistakes because we cannot live to make all of them by ourselves. This book will catapult your life and ministry to the next level. These 40+ practical counsels for Pastors and ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ who desire to lead and grow a healthy and vibrant church or ministry for The Lord is a compendium of some of the lessons I have learnt in my twenty three (23) years of full time ministry. Preparation time is not wasted time. A blunt tool makes work more difficult to accomplish. It is therefore important to keep our cutting edge sharp at all times in order to enjoy ease and good speed in our work. Failure to do this turns a simple job into a tough labour. Iron truly sharpens iron, therefore we need to learn from each other. A lot of people in ministry today were once professionals in some other areas of life, where they were taught how to properly do what they were doing and so they knew HOW TO DO whatever they did; but same people got called into ministry and they feel there's no need to acquire knowledge for ministry. All sorts of excuses are given: "All I need to know is The Bible." "The Holy Spirit will teach me all I need to know." "I have learnt enough in the Bible School, Seminary or School of ministry already." Anyone who has been in ministry for a while knows that the ministry work is more than reading only The Bible: A minister of God and every success oriented personality needs to know everything about something (as a point of specialty) and something about everything (as a point of progressive growth in life). I have been around (FULL TIME) for over 2 decades on this job (calling or warfare). Some of what I have enjoyed, endured, suffered... HERE I FREELY SHARE FROM MY HEART IN 'DEEP WATERS'

Book excerpt: Pastors spend much of their time counseling people in crisis—a delicate task that requires one to carefully evaluate each situation, share relevant principles from God’s Word, and offer practical suggestions for moving forward. Too often, however, pastors feel unprepared to effectively shepherd their people through difficult circumstances such as depression, adultery, eating disorders, and suicidal thinking. Written to help pastors and church leaders understand the basics of biblical counseling, this book provides an overview of the counseling process from the initial meeting to the final session. It also includes suggestions for cultivating a culture of discipleship within a church and four appendixes featuring a quick checklist, tips for taking notes, and more.
