Book excerpt: Do you long for something more in your relationship with God? The good news is that “something more” does not mean “doing more.” God is not waiting for you to get your spiritual life “right.” He wants to be with you right where you are. The real question is not “What does God want from you?” but “What does God want for you?” Sharon Jaynes understands what it’s like to have a “glory ache”—a longing to experience God’s presence on a daily basis. She also knows how easily working for God can get in the way of intimacy with God. And she’s discovered that we tend to make our faith journey much too hard. In A Sudden Glory, Sharon uses Scripture and story to help you erase the line between your “spiritual life” and your “daily life” as you enter the sanctuary of God’s presence even in the middle of your busy, messy day. Here you will find your eyes opened to moments of sudden glory in which the Creator assures you of His love as you live and move and have your being in Him. Here you will discover true freedom—the freedom of experiencing God in a deeper and more intimate way than ever before. Includes Bible study and discussion guide.

Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church.

Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

Download or read book My Journey to Salvation written by Keith Mitchell and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ARE YOU AWARE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT STATEMENT EVER MADE? "YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN" Why? Because without it you have no hope of enjoying the glories of heaven and escaping the horrors of hell. Are YOU born again? Jesus said "Ye must be born again." John 3: 7 "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3 A very interesting event took place while Jesus walked the earth, many of the religious leaders of his day did not believe or receive him but there were some who due to fear of what people will say though they believed, they did not show publicly what they thought about him then in John chapter 3, one of them came to enquire at night about the kingdom Jesus was talking about. He was curious as to how one can be a part of the kingdom and Jesus said in verse three. "Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God" John 3:3 "Jesus answered him, I assure you most solemnly I tell you, that unless a person is born again (anew, from above), he cannot ever see (know, be acquainted with, and experience) the kingdom of God.' AMP The man must have looked at Jesus to confirm if he was in his right senses for he wondered how an adult would enter into his mother's stomach and be born again and Jesus told him "Except a man be born of the water and the spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God." so we can see that this goes beyond physical birth, this is the work of the spirit of Christ. Many of us who were born into Christian homes automatically believe we are born again or part of the house hold of faith, God forbid that at the end, Jesus tells us to depart because he does not know us. Being part of a Christian home or being part of a church does not equal being born again. You may know a lot about Jesus and God of the Christians, you may even know some verses in the bible and be able to quote them well, you may be able to say a thing or two about Jesus but then do you know him personally. You may say you know the president of your country, you might be able to say a lot of things about him but then the level of knowledge you have cannot be compared to what his wife will say. The wife knows him better, she sleeps with him and shares intimacy with him, and he will tell her things he is too careful not to tell the world, she knows his strengths and his fears. She knows when he is pretending to be okay and smiling when he is dying in silence. Now that is a level, and God desires that, intimacy with God and a relationship with him is the end to which Christ died so that when you die you can share eternity with him in heaven. So it's not about knowing about Jesus, it is about Jesus knowing you. Do you want to make heaven and be part of the kingdom Jesus talked about? Then you must be born again for that is the access, the key to the kingdom that is what entitles you to all that pertains to life and godliness. The son of a prince does not beg for the throne, he knows the throne is his by birth, same thing goes, we are the King's kid and because we are born of God, we have all He has. "But as many as received him, to them gave the power to become sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." John 1:12 So the power we have to be called sons is imparted at new birth, when we receive him into our life. Are you curious to know what this new birth is? Let's continue the ride through the pages of this book.

Download or read book Seeing and savouring Jesus Christ written by JOHN PIPER and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who is Jesus Christ? You've never met Him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ - the divine Person revealed in the Bible - has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet. The depth and complexity of Jesus shatter our simple mental frameworks. He baffled proud scribes with his wisdom but was understood and loved by children. He calmed a raging storm with a word but would not get himself down from the cross. Look at the Jesus of the Bible. Keep your eyes open, and fill them with the portrait of Jesus in God's Word. Jesus said, "If anyone's will is to do God's will, He will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority." Ask God for the grace to do His will, and you will see the truth of His Son. John Piper has written this book in the hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else.

Download or read book Born again Now What Jesus written by Joseph Brice and published by BCMG. This book was released on 2024-07-13 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a person becomes born again or is born of the Spirit, they are in the family of God. You are a child of the Most High God—a child of the king! You become a citizen of the kingdom of God. The kingdom is not a place you can join; you must be born into it. Just as a natural father seeds a newborn in a mother's natural life, so it is in the Spirit that we are the seed of our Heavenly Father, who is Spirit. Your flesh is not born again; your Spirit and soul are. This fleshly body is destined to die once; after death is the judgment. The power of being born again is that we get to judge ourselves when we are filled with God's Spirit; it doesn't matter what people think about us. It's what God knows about you and what you must know about yourself…you are born again! No matter the sins or mistakes you have made in the past, the miracle of being born again is that God no longer remembers them. You are given a new and clean slate in the spirit world. Being born again does not mean you will not make mistakes, but we are no longer reckless, irresponsible, or lawless in doing evil. Understanding you are a new creation, old things are passed away, and all things become new. Here are a few to know as a new Believer: Repenting for your sins means acknowledging your sinful nature and avoiding harmful behaviors and attitudes. Decide to change and make Jesus the Lord of your life. Believe in Jesus Christ— Accept that Jesus died on the cross to pay for your sins and rose again from the dead. Have faith that you can be forgiven and have eternal life through his sacrifice. Confess your faith— Openly declare your belief in Jesus by saying, "I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in my heart that God raised him from the dead. Be baptized—Baptizing by immersion symbolizes your death to sin and new life in Christ. It is an outward expression of your inner commitment. Read and study the Bible— The Bible guides living as a Christian. Set aside time to read it daily and apply its teaching. Worship and fellowship—Find a Bible-Believing Church and attend services to worship God and connect with other believers. Fellowship helps you grow spiritually, and you should never forget to serve others. Pray—Talk to God regularly to develop a consistent prayer life. Pray for guidance and strength, and share the gospel. Witness to others— Tell others about your faith in Jesus, what he has done in your faith in Jesus, and what he has done in your life. Share the good news of salvation and the kingdom. New life in Christ—Experiencing spiritual rebirth and a new relationship with God Seeking to follow Jesus— Living for Christ and His purposes rather than self. Eternal life— Knowing you have the gift of salvation and will spend eternity with God The Born Again experience brings a new spiritual birth and transformed life. It is a lifelong journey of growth in Jesus Christ. Are you ready to tap into the power of the Holy Spirit and become a Born-Again Believer? This book is about those who have taken the step to being a Born Again Christian and even some who have been a Christian for a long time. Discover the revelations of Jesus Christ and who we are in God with "Born Again, Now What Jesus?" This book will empower you to take control of your life and become a ruler of righteousness, not a follower of anything contrary to the will of God. Now that you are Born Again, you become the "What" of God in this world and the kingdom.
