Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to "In His Time: Trusting God Beyond Our Timetables," a journey into understanding and embracing the divine timing of God. In our fast-paced world, where immediacy is often prized over patience, and results are demanded on tight schedules, the concept of waiting on God’s timing can be both challenging and counterintuitive. Yet, the Bible repeatedly shows us that God does not operate according to human schedules. His ways and thoughts are higher than ours, and His timing is always perfect, though often mysterious from our limited perspective. This book explores why God's timing often diverges so significantly from our own expectations and how this reality calls us to deeper faith and trust in Him. Through 20 chapters, we delve into biblical stories, contemporary testimonies, and practical guidance to uncover the richness of waiting on God and the profound spiritual growth that comes from trusting in His timeline. Each chapter is designed to offer insights into different aspects of God's timing: We begin by examining biblical narratives that highlight God's impeccable timing in the lives of His people. We explore the spiritual discipline of patience and how it is cultivated in the believer's life. We consider the challenges and rewards of waiting, including how delays can serve as periods of preparation for future blessings. We discuss practical ways to foster a community that supports one another during times of waiting. Finally, we learn to recognize and celebrate God's timing, encouraging a culture of testimony that affirms His faithfulness. "In His Time: Trusting God Beyond Our Timetables" is not just about waiting; it's about understanding the purpose behind the wait and the transformation that occurs within us as we learn to align our lives with God's sovereign plans. Whether you find yourself in a season of waiting, seeking answers, or simply desiring a deeper understanding of God's ways, this book is intended to guide, encourage, and inspire you to trust in the One who created time yet is not bound by it. Let us embark on this journey together, with open hearts and minds ready to receive what God has in store for us, in His perfect timing.

If you need answers NOW, start with this book. Robert Stofel will show you how to get beyond the pain and struggle of waiting to that perfect place of peace and trust in God’s timetable. Soon you’ll stop asking, “God, how much longer?” and you’ll be able to truly sit back and enjoy the ride! Readers’ Guide included for group study or personal reflection.

Download or read book Foundations of our Faith written by B. Lightsey and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-08-14 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am part of a vast ocean of Christians that view the Word of God through a different set of eyes than those of many pastors, professors, and church staff members. I have interest in the deep theology of scripture and recognize my need to be exposed to and covered by the Word of God similar to that of my "called" brothers in Christ. Yet I want it delivered to me in a simple "worker's language." Recent translations have strived toward this end and have made headway. Yet the finished product is still from scholars that often describe the original transcripts from a theological standpoint rather than a worker's standpoint. The Eastern Standard Version (ESV) published in 2001 was written to carefully weigh accuracy against the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek scrolls. It stands as one of the better accepted of sound English Bible Translations. Because of its wide acceptance, I have used this translation for my resource. I have certainly considered a host of opinions and writings of a host of scholars but my source of authenticity has always been God's Word. In writing this book, I strongly encourage our religious leaders to go back to the reading, writing, and arithmetic basics of God's Word. Just as I believe, we need to get back to the basics in educating our children in school in reading, writing, and arithmetic, we also need to get back to the reading, writing, and arithmetic basics in educating God's people in church. Perhaps such consideration is "out of touch" with the advanced theology of today. As a layman, not an ordained or seminary graduate, I might be considered a "doctrine dummy." This book, entitled "Doctrine for Dummies" is written for this vast ocean of people. We are not dummy people, but we are somewhat hindered in our study by deep theological doctrine. This book tries to take us back to reading, writing, and arithmetic doctrine.

Download or read book Finding Jesus in His Prayers written by Dr. H. Stephen Shoemaker and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this brief but substantive examination of the prayers Jesus prayed, Stephen Shoemaker offers helpful applications of Jesus’ prayers as both a way to better understand Jesus and as a way to use his prayers as a model for our own prayer lives. The book addresses our twin hungers for spirituality and for a deeper grasp of who Jesus was. The author takes seriously the way Jesus prayed and how his prayers open a window to our own experience of God. Included are discussions of: the Lord’s Prayer (Matt. 6:9-13), the Prayer of Thanksgiving amid Life’s Reversals (Matt.11:25-26), the Gethsemane Prayer (Mark 14:36), the Prayers from the Cross (Luke 23:34; Matt. 27:46; Luke 23:46), and prayers from John's Gospel (11:41-42, 12:27, 17:11). The author stays close to the text of the prayers (sometimes including his own translations) but explores their meaning in our lives. He uses Abba rather than the English translation “Father” in order to bring the reader closer to Jesus as he spoke the words of each prayer. A study guide is included to assist leaders in using the book with small groups. “Jesus’ prayers are a challenge and a scandal to the ways our culture wants to pray. His spirituality, found in his prayers, is a profound guide to the soul and a remedy to a culture in search of a soul.” --H. Stephen Shoemaker

Download or read book Emotionally Healthy Spirituality written by Peter Scazzero and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2014-08-12 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Scazzero learned the hard way: you can't be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature. Even though he was a pastor of a growing church, he did what most people do: Avoid conflict in the name of Christianity Ignore his anger, sadness, and fear Use God to run from God Live without boundaries Eventually God awakened him to a biblical integration of emotional health, a relationship with Jesus, and the classic practices of contemplative spirituality. It created nothing short of a spiritual revolution, utterly transforming him and his church. In this best-selling book Scazzero outlines his journey and the signs of emotionally unhealthy spirituality. Then he provides seven biblical, reality-tested ways to break through to the revolutionary life Christ meant for you. “The combination of emotional health and contemplative spirituality,” he says, “unleashes the Holy Spirit inside us so that we might experientially know the power of an authentic life in Christ.”

Download or read book Everyday Encounters with the Lord written by Tony Elder and published by Elm Hill. This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 772 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This inspiring daily devotional will challenge you to grow in your relationship with the Lord while allowing Him to transform you into the Christlike person He calls you to be. Enhance your personal moments with God each day by being reminded of vital biblical truths which can be found imbedded in our everyday experiences. Hear God speaking through interactions with grandchildren, nature, the day’s headlines, holiday gatherings, and all the other common occurrences in life. Let these readings point you to further study in God’s Word, lead you to seeking God in prayer, and guide you into greater service for His kingdom. Here’s an excerpt from one of those daily messages: “Last weekend when I first saw a news report about a missing husband and wife, I thought it was an unfortunate and potentially tragic situation. But when I realized I actually knew the couple – that we had been fellow church members with this nice lady many years ago - the story really hit home. So I kept checking the news throughout the day to receive updates on the search for these missing persons. Isn’t that the way it often goes? We may hear about certain people, their situations and predicaments. We may respond with some degree of slight interest to genuine concern. But when it involves somebody we know, our own family, or ourselves, it really gets our attention and has a bigger impact on us. It reminds me of the time the prophet Nathan told King David about a man who had a great number of flocks and herds...Once David realized this story was about him, it deeply affected him, leading to heartfelt confession and repentance. Maybe there are some stories, facts, and truths in the Bible which we need to take more personally than we do. The general statements may affect us to some degree, but not as much as they should. In many cases we need to realize it’s talking about me and you. When the Bible declares that God so loved the world that He sent His Son, we should take it personally. God loves you. God cared enough about you to take such action. You are the one... When God’s Word calls believers to love others and be holy, He’s talking to you. When He commissions His followers to be His witnesses, to be lights in a dark world, and to share the gospel, He is sending you. You are the one. If God’s Word isn’t moving us and affecting us very deeply, maybe it’s because we’re looking at it as more of a textbook to be studied rather than as a personal letter to be received. Read the Bible, see yourself in its truths, and seek to hear what God wants to say to you.”
