Download or read book The Right Fight written by John Kennedy Vaughan and published by BrownBooks.ORM. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of Shields of Strength, “a gift that could radically change every interaction and relationship you have” (Reg Lloyd, Pastor, Praise Church, Beaumont TX). What is the opposite of love? Many would say hate, but studying the Bible reveals that it is actually fear. Fear leads us to make harmful decisions and live unproductive, unhappy, and unfruitful lives. Love is the key to a fruitful life, but love must be more than a feeling. Love must be an action, a choice. Choosing love over fear is the most powerful choice we can make. Kenny Vaughan brings this timeless discussion back to the forefront of our spiritual exploration by teaching us to view life as a fruit-bearing tree. When we feed the roots with love, the tree flourishes, and we enjoy the blessings that grow upon it. If we deprive our roots, however—if we allow fear to cut us off from love—then the whole tree withers and dies. Utilizing both Scripture and anecdotes from modern life, The Right Fight teaches us how to tend our roots, grow our fruit, and, through the grace of God, cast fear out for good. “The Right Fight will hold your attention and challenge your perspective and application of love.”—Reg Lloyd, Pastor, Praise Church, Beaumont TX
Download or read book Fighting Cross Border Cartels written by Pierre Horna and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03-19 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first detailed treatment of the approaches taken to enforce competition laws against cross-border cartels (CBCs) from the perspective of young and small competition authorities (more than 70% of the total number of authorities worldwide). No other legal or inter-disciplinary scholarship exists in the market that deals with the issue of a taxonomy of CBCs combined with young/small competition authorities' problems. The book looks at the extent of the harms caused by CBCs and issues associated with tackling them at a transnational level. It explains why past solutions to problems with cooperation have failed and proposes novel ideas on how to improve cooperation and coordination in certain types of CBC investigations (transnational and regional CBCs). The proposals are based on primary-source information and observations made by the author as part of his work in the UN, and interviews with leading enforcers from young, small, old and large jurisdictions. Young/small competition authorities, competition lawyers and economists, scholars and students within the fields of competition law and international law, and those interested in international cooperation and coordination in the area of cartel enforcement in emerging markets will greatly benefit from this book. It is clearly structured and extensively referenced, providing a valuable guide to the topic.
Download or read book The Battle of The Cross written by Apostle Professor Jerry Makananisa and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-24 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The battle of the cross is a book that will help you to understand more about our battles in life. There are things that are there to separate us from the love of God, when they happen they make us not to be aware of His love upon our lives. Persecution will come but you as a Child of God must not leave the Lord for you know where He took you from. You need to know that you were transferred from the kingdom of darkness to the light. What are you facing that makes you to forget the love of the living God upon your life? Many Christians think that they do not have demons; we are in a Church whereby people no longer believe in deliverance or in the power of God. Usually we preach the gospel not knowing that it brings power to bless, to deliver and to multiply. Temptation does not come in twos; it is only one temptation that comes in different formulas. You are failing to overcome that temptation because you are not discerning. If you fall because of adultery then know that tomorrow it will be the same cause that will make you to fall again; you just need to know what makes you to fall and see the solution for it. As you discern you will be able to move forward.

Book excerpt: When women understand how God has empowered them, they can "wield the sword" of feminine strength against any evil that threatens them and those they love. What if you discovered you have been entrusted with an invisible, invincible, and incorruptible weapon? Would you use it? In a day of worldwide trafficking, gendercide, discrimination, and other hostility against women, Lisa Bevere points to a biblical foundation to present a model of feminine strength that will empower women to live confidently. Drawing on the many references to swords throughout Scripture, the author constructs a revealing and compelling female paradigm that will impact every area of a woman's self identity, spiritual awareness, relationships, and life vision and mission. Long known for her passionate and articulate expression of biblical womanhood, Bevere presents fresh imagery--as enticing and strong as polished steel--to prepare women boldly for the challenges they face in today's world. It's not enough to just be wise and strong: Now a woman must know how to wield her sword. Creatively forging the imagery of swords, the Word of God, and the Cross, Girls with Swords will teach you: • How to speak the language of heaven on earth • What it means to intercede • What it means to carry your cross • What it means to be discerning • How to disarm the enemy • Why women are the enemy’s target—and why God needs them to be heroes It’s time to take up your sword and be a hero.

Download or read book Not My Fight written by Brian V. Wieck and published by . This book was released on 2022-05-24 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Brian V. Wieck wrote the papers that became the basis for his debut book, The War Within, he learned to forgive his offenders of their trespasses as well as himself of the sins he had committed against God. As Brian continued to write, he began to feel guilty and unworthy to be loved by God after so many years of anger and depression blamed directly on God. "How could God still love a long-term sinner such as I?" he asked. As Brian digs deeper into his spiritual needs, he learns the role Jesus Christ plays in the forgiveness of sins. It's the blood of Jesus that washes away our sins and makes us worthy to stand before God. Bent, but not broken. Dinged, but not destroyed. Accepted, loved, and forgiven.

Download or read book Fighting for Holiness written by J. C. Ryle and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2022-04-29 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Put on the Armor of God in Your Daily Battle Against Sin "True Christianity is a fight," wrote J. C. Ryle in 1877. He argued that from the day of their conversion until the day they die, Christians are called to be soldiers for Christ in a war for their holiness. This inspiring call to action written more than 100 years ago continues to be a source of great encouragement and inspiration for believers today. In this addition to the Crossway Short Classics series, Ryle explains why the fight for holiness is one of absolute necessity for Christians. Identifying the three main enemies of every believer—the world, the flesh, and the devil—he emboldens them to "either fight or be lost" in their daily battle and offers biblical and historical examples of notable Christian "soldiers." Fighting for Holiness is a bold reminder for believers to daily put on the whole armor of God and train their eyes on Christ. Spiritually Challenging and Inspiring: Helps believers identify and overcome 3 enemies: the world, the flesh, and the devil A Christian Classic: Content adapted from J. C. Ryle's classic book Holiness Part of the Crossway Short Classics series

Download or read book The Flag the Cross and the Station Wagon written by Bill McKibben and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the New Yorker's Best Books of 2022 Bill McKibben—award-winning author, activist, educator—is fiercely curious. “I’m curious about what went so suddenly sour with American patriotism, American faith, and American prosperity.” Like so many of us, McKibben grew up believing—knowing—that the United States was the greatest country on earth. As a teenager, he cheerfully led American Revolution tours in Lexington, Massachusetts. He sang “Kumbaya” at church. And with the remarkable rise of suburbia, he assumed that all Americans would share in the wealth. But fifty years later, he finds himself in an increasingly doubtful nation strained by bleak racial and economic inequality, on a planet whose future is in peril. And he is curious: What the hell happened? In this revelatory cri de coeur, McKibben digs deep into our history (and his own well-meaning but not all-seeing past) and into the latest scholarship on race and inequality in America, on the rise of the religious right, and on our environmental crisis to explain how we got to this point. He finds that he is not without hope. And he wonders if any of that trinity of his youth—The Flag, the Cross, and the Station Wagon—could, or should, be reclaimed in the fight for a fairer future.
