Download or read book God s Existence Proven in 15 Minutes written by Roger Ball and published by Roger Ball. This book was released on 2023-08-30 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who made who? Did we create God, or did He create us? Can God’s existence really be proven? Could other explanations be equally plausible? In the New Testament, we find the claim that God has clearly made Himself known to mankind through the created order and that all are without excuse (Romans 1:19, 20). But how far can we take this? Has God really proven His own existence? Can we know that He exists with absolute certainty? Does this also mean that no other explanations are possible? In easy-to-understand language, this brief, eye-opening essay demonstrates that the existence of God—the Christian God—can be proven with certainty. If you are a Christian believer and seek unassailable proofs for the existence of God, or are just curious about whether God’s existence can actually be proven, then you’ll love this informative book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be Spirit-led? Does God speak to people as many evangelicals claim? Can His will for our lives be discerned through subjective promptings, leadings, or signs? Many Christians profess that God communicates, or speaks, to them and reveals His will for their choices and actions. But is this experience genuine? Is it biblically sound to pursue this so-called dynamic, personal relationship with God, or to expect such individualized guidance? This book exposes the half-truths of those who believe God has no intention of revealing His hidden will to anyone; instead, they recommend we "just do something." Find out what it really means to live within the spiritual reality, hear God’s voice, and heed His direction in all areas of life.

Download or read book Nurturing the Divine Within Raising Healthy Children through Structure Love and Spiritual Awareness written by Roger Ball and published by Roger Ball. This book was released on 2024-09-30 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raising healthy children requires a multifaceted approach that combines love, structure, values, and preparation for adulthood. By providing a stable home environment, consistent discipline, and opportunities for growth, parents can support their children's development of identity and self-worth while also fostering a "sense of the divine." The sensus divinitatis, a concept introduced by theologian John Calvin, refers to the innate knowledge and awareness of God that all human beings possess. This sense of divinity is not a fully formed theological understanding, but rather an intuitive recognition of the divine orchestration and purpose in life. When children are raised properly, it fosters their natural inclination to perceive this purpose and design in the universe, and to find their places in it. Aside from the salvation of Jesus Christ, proper parenting and healthy children is what this country needs right now more than anything.

Book excerpt: Will the United States destroy itself from within? It’s easy to see how catastrophic war, invasion, natural disasters, economic instability, disease, famine, etc., could destroy a society, or even an entire civilization, but can extending sexual permissiveness do the same? The path to destroying any society, such as ours, as outlined by J.D. Unwin's research and corroborated by modern trends, begins with the erosion of sexual ethics and family structures. This initial breakdown sets off a cascade of psychological, social, and economic consequences that, if left unchecked, can lead to the total collapse of a once-thriving society.
