Download or read book HB 12 1 Run With Endurance the Race God Set Before You written by Julie Wages and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-07-08 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever felt like you were supposed to do something you have never done before or that you feel completely unqualified to do? Maybe this something is so far out of your comfort zone that it seems impossible and WAY too hard? Yes, me too. I was never a runner. I never dreamt of becoming a runner. I never dreamt of becoming a marathoner. And, I certainly never dreamt of becoming a writer. When I felt the Lord nudging me to pursue not only one of those three things but all of them, I wondered why in the world He would choose to use me to carry that out. Certainly, He could find someone better than me. I felt like the most unqualified person for any of it. However, God's plan sometimes doesn't always align with what we believe of ourselves. He sees the potential in us. He has the power and the authority to make what seems impossible, more than possible. I hope this book inspires you to run your race. Where you are and where you're going is beyond what you can imagine.

Download or read book The Race Before Us written by Margaret Armanious and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-04-11 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's a scene of restless energy and anticipation. Moments before the start of a marathon, a sea of runners take their position and wait for their cue. Finally, with one shotgun blast, they jolt past the starting line, full of hope and adrenaline. As the miles wear on, they are left with the task of completing a long and demanding physical challenge. Many may fail, but for those that persevere, the reward is worth all the effort. Using the rich metaphor of a grueling foot race, Hebrews 12:1-3 draws a very descriptive correlation between the commitment of an athletic goal and our own spiritual perseverance in this life: Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance, and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. By comparing our lives to a footrace, this passage encourages us as Christians to prepare and condition our hearts and minds to run a race worthy of God's calling upon our lives. Whether you feel like you are just running in place, or simply desire to build a more focused faith, this study offers a closer look at God's perspective to gain that momentum: -How to identify and cast away the spiritual weights that slacken our pace -How to recognize the entanglements of sin that keep us from moving forward -How to develop a faith that is conditioned to endure throughout the trials of life Written in a verse-by-verse, interactive format, this study will guide the reader from the starting line of their own journey to discover the rich rewards along the way. It is written with the focus on Christ as our one Perfect Example, the Source of our hope and strength to keep the faith and finish strong.

Download or read book Expositions of the Psalms 1 32 Vol 1 written by Saint Augustine (of Hippo) and published by New City Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As the psalms are a microcosm of the Old Testament, so the Expositions of the Psalms can be seen as a microcosm of Augustinian thought. In the Book of Psalms are to be found the history of the people of Israel, the theology and spirituality of the Old Covenant, and a treasury of human experience expressed in prayer and poetry. So too does the work of expounding the psalms recapitulate and focus the experiences of Augustine's personal life, his theological reflections and his pastoral concerns as Bishop of Hippo."--Publisher's website.

Download or read book Sacred Scripture written by Daniel L. Smith-Christopher and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (©2013) The Subcommittee on the Catechism, United States Catholic Bishops, has found that this catechetical high school text is in conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church and fulfills the requirements of Elective Course A of the Doctrinal Elements of a Curriculum Framework for the Development of the Catechetical Materials for Young People of High School Age.Sacred Scripture: A Catholic Study of God's Word presents the Bible to students as a living source of God's Revelation to us. It gathers the two covenants of Scripture and the seventy-two books of the Bible under the umbrella of Church teaching, which holds that in Sacred Scripture, "God speaks only one single Word, his one Utterance in whom he expresses himself completely" (CCC, 102).This introduction to the biblical texts is both a companion for prayerful study and a survey of the context, message, and authorship of each book. It also provides students with a plan for reading and studying the Bible in concert with the Holy Spirit and Church teaching.The text provides historical context for biblical literature and its analysis is mindful that Scripture must be read within the living Tradition of the Church; in so doing, the text examines the relationship between Scripture and the doctrines of the Catholic faith. While modern historical-critical scholarship is not ignored, the text is balanced by emphasis on the multiple senses of Scripture: literal, spiritual, allegorical, moral, and anagogical.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions have been inspired by the Bible’s spiritual lessons. Now, Lorin Woolfe provides a unique way to view the Bible . . . for leadership lessons that can be applied to our modern business world. Consider David’s courage and innovation in slaying Goliath with just a stone and a sling; Moses’ outstanding ""succession planning"" in picking Joshua; Joseph and the political skills that brought him to the seat of power; and of course, Jesus’ compassion, communication skills, and vision that launched Christianity (a long-term success by any measure). These are leaders among leaders. Their achievements -- and their inspired methods of achievement -- offer a wholly different perspective on business leadership. For the dozens of Biblical stories presented, the book provides: * A concise retelling of each story * One (or more) leadership lessons suggested by each story * Examples of contemporary business leaders who exhibit some of the inspired traits of these ancient leaders, including: Fred Smith of FedEx, Howard Shultz of Starbucks, Tom Chappell of Tom’s of Maine (a “toothpaste with a mission”), Roy Vagelos of Merck, and many more. The chapters cover these universal topics: Courage * Purpose * Communication * Honesty and Integrity * Power and Influence * Performance Management * Team Building * Humility * Compassion * Justice * Encouragement and Consequences * Wisdom * Creating the Future Each topic concludes with a list of key points to keep in mind as readers continue on their own leadership journeys.
Download or read book Rethinking Retirement written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2009-03-27 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Piper challenges fellow baby boomers to forego the American dream of retirement and live out their golden years with a far greater purpose in mind. They say it's a person's reward for all those years of labor. "Turn in your time card and trade in your IRAs. Let travel plans and golf-course leisure lead the way." But is retirement really the ideal? Or is it a series of poor options that ignore a greater purpose-and will kill a person more quickly than old age? John Piper responds: "Lord, spare me this curse!" And his resounding message is for anyone who believes there's far more to the golden years than accumulating comforts. It's for readers who long to finish better than they started, persevere for the right reasons (and without fear), experience true security, value what lies beyond their cravings, and live dangerously for the One who gave his life in his prime. With this brief book, Piper is sure to spur fellow baby boomers in their resolve to invest themselves in the sacrifices of love -and to grow old with godly zeal.
