Download or read book Lord Give Me Patience and Give It to Me Right Now written by Rev. James W. Moore and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2010-05-01 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are an impatient people who want everything done in a hurry. But God refuses to be rushed. In the words of author James W. Moore: We love instant results. We want everything done in a hurry these days. We don’t want to wait for anything. We are so different from the earlier generations who ordered things from the Sears catalog and waited with great anticipation for weeks or even months for the items to arrive. We want to pay a little down now (even if we can’t really afford it) and get it today. We are impatient people looking for immediate action and instant gratification, so much so that God’s patient ways sometimes confuse, perplex, and bother us. We are impatient, but God is deliberate, steady, and long-suffering. We look for the speedy way, the shortcut, the instant answer, the immediate solution. But God takes the long way ’round. God refuses to be rushed. The way to become a spiritually mature Christian is to spend so much time with Christ that we begin to think and act like him, to spend so much time with him that we take on what the apostle Paul called “the mind of Christ.” It just takes time and effort and commitment. There are no easy, instant solutions. What we need to remember is that the things that matter most take time, effort, commitment, discipline, lots of practice, lots of hard work . . . and lots of patience. Working chapter titles include, “Lord, Give Me Patience, and Give it to Me Right Now”; “Lord, Give Me Perseverance”; “ Lord, Give Me Faith”; “Lord, Give Me Forgiveness”; “Lord, Give Me Love”; “Lord, Give Me Childlikeness”; “Lord, Give Me Life”; “Lord, Give Me Grace”; and others. This book includes twelve chapters and a discussion guide.

Download or read book Conversion and Discipleship written by Bill Hull and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discipleship occurs when someone answers the call to learn from Jesus how to live his or her life as though Jesus were living it. The end result is that the disciple becomes the kind of person who naturally does what Jesus did. How the church understands salvation and the gospel is the key to recovering a biblical theology of discipleship. Our doctrines of grace and salvation, in some cases, actually prevent us from creating an expectation that we are to be disciples of Jesus. A person can profess to be a Christian and yet still live under the impression that they don’t need to actually follow Jesus. Being a follower is seen as an optional add-on, not a requirement. It is a choice, not a demand. Being a Christian today has no connection with the biblical idea that we are formed into the image of Christ. In this ground-breaking new book, pastor and author Bill Hull shows why our existing models of evangelism and discipleship fail to actually produce followers of Jesus. He looks at the importance of recovering a robust view of the gospel and taking seriously the connection between conversion—answering the call to follow Jesus—and discipleship—living like the one we claim to follow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will hurt me until the day I die. I dedicate this work to the clients of my forty-six years of therapy and pastoral work who have shared their pain and sorrow inflicted by words. No wound is more difficult to overcome than the wound caused by words. Love is destroyed by words. Families are separated by words. Young lives are placed on roads that lead to dead-ends and destructions by words. Careers are ended, reputations are lost and wars are begun all because of words. To the many who have suffered so greatly I pray this book will help others understand your pain. Like apples of gold in settings of silver is a word spoken in right circumstances. (Proverbs 23:11 New American Standard Bible)

Download or read book The Missing Link written by Henry Hall Powell and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-04 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There appears to be a distinct lack of God's power and presence in the lives of most Christians and their churches. Many are not experiencing the joy and peace that God offers to His children. The normal Christian life is meant to be one that expresses daily the reality of the life of Jesus Christ in and through followers of Christ - lives exhibiting His power and presence in all circumstances. This book examines a Missing Link in the lives of many Christians that will explain the lack of power and victory. The reader will be challenged to search Scripture and his or her own life and relationship with God to understand the important teachings of this book. Henry Hall Powell, Jr. is an ordained Christian minister and has served as an expository preacher and teacher since 1974. The Missing Link is Mr. Powell's first book and reflects his ongoing commitment to provide insight into the practical application of biblical truths for those who seek true spirituality. Mr. Powell received an A.B. Degree in Philosophy and Religion from Guilford College, attended Columbia Graduate School of Bible and Theology, and earned a M.B.A. degree from Winthrop University. He lives with his wife Melinda in Kure Beach, North Carolina and they have three married daughters and eight grandchildren.

Download or read book Life S a Bitch written by Gary B. Boyd and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trey Managuas and Polly Anne Dodgems dreams were not the same, but they were compatible. Trey was unemployed at the age of sixty, the victim of a factory closure. He was too young to retire and too old to attract an employer. His dream was to work until he was sixty-six and retire with a comfortable nest egg for his golden years. Polly Anne was an innovator and entrepreneur. After years of research, she had finally developed a process by which she could regenerate usable cotton fiber from textile scraps. By regenerating the fiber from scraps, her black box process would easily reduce the use of landfill space used for untold tons of textile waste. More importantly, her use of regenerated fiber would reduce the number of acres of land required to grow cotton, which in turn would reduce the volume of chemicals and amount of water used to make that cotton grow. Her dream was to make a difference in peoples lives. She only needed a manufacturing facility and skilled workers to commercialize her process. Treys recently shuttered nonwovens factory offered the opportunity for Polly Anne to engage in manufacturing products using her regenerated cotton fiber. It was a match made in heaven. Praise the Lord!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grace’s world crumbled when Ben, her young husband, passed away unexpectedly. Just when the grief seemed too much to bear, an advertisement caught her eye: a quaint inn for sale in picturesque Cornwall. Though the price was daunting, the dream was within reach—fulfilling her late husband’s aspiration of owning a pub. But could she, a novice, manage such a venture? Reaching out to her eldest son, Brian, for advice, his skepticism became the unexpected spark that ignited her determination. ‘Running a pub isn’t as simple as shopping for shoes,’ he warned. Yet, when he offered to discuss it further with his brother, John, Grace’s resolve was set. She was claiming the Sea Drift Arms for herself, along with its intriguingly stubborn caretaker, Arnold Tresider. With Arnold’s guidance and a few inevitable missteps, Grace transformed the inn, navigating the nuances of her new world. The courage to dive into the unknown brought unexpected rewards and a renewed zest for life. However, renovating the inn’s dilapidated snug into a dining space pits Grace against the formidable local landowner, Nicholas Penrudock. Their previous run-in— a near-collision on the roads — was just the beginning of their tumultuous relationship. As tensions rise, Grace must navigate her newfound life, determining whether this Indian summer has room for love, conflict, or a fresh start.
