Download or read book Living in Victory written by Joel Comiskey and published by CCS Publishing. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians desire to grow in their relationship with God. They want to flourish, to experience victory in their Christian lives. They want to live in the overcoming power that the cross provides. But they are stuck. They are like my friend, John, who works sixty hours per week, sits in two hours of traffic each day and carries the burdens of the world on his shoulders. He and his wife, Jenny, love each other, or at least they used to. They now spend their time together carting their kids to activities after driving through Taco Bell for dinner. Every week, John sits in the second row at church, listening to the pastor, and he and Jenny volunteer in the children’s church. But he told me last week that he is exhausted. On the surface, he has a good life, but deep down he is drowning. He has no real victory. How does someone like John stem the tide? How does he start living the victorious lifestyle Jesus came to offer? Many find the answer in promises of a magic pill, something that provides a quick fix. But such fixes don’t exist. The victory of God is an ongoing lifestyle while adopting and applying certain priorities that prepare and equip us for life. True victory comes in heaven and not on earth. And only the Spirit of God living through the believer based on God’s Word can give true victory. But there are basic principles that God has used throughout the centuries to encourage believers and give them victory. In this book, I’ve pinpointed nine principles and priorities that will help a believer live a victorious Christian life. They are: -victory in preparing for eternity -victory in experiencing God's love -victory in God's grace -victory in God’s sovereignty -victory in spending time with Jesus -victory in close relationships -victory in the local church -victory in rest -victory in healthy living These nine priorities will help you understand and apply principles that are simple, biblical, and time-tested to produce spiritual, emotional, and physical benefits. My aim is to stimulate you to live these biblical truths while allowing the Holy Spirit to transform you.

Download or read book The Liturgy of Creation written by Michael LeFebvre and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2019-08-06 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How were holidays chosen and taught in biblical Israel, and what did they have to do with the creation narrative? Michael LeFebvre considers the calendars of the Pentateuch, arguing that dates were added to Old Testament narratives not as journalistic details but to teach sacred rhythms of labor and worship. LeFebvre then applies this insight to the creation week, finding that the days of creation also serve a liturgical purpose.

Download or read book Jerusalem s Daughter written by Jenna Van Mourik and published by Nowgo Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03-14 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EXPERIENCE THE PASSION WEEK Having grown up in the impoverished lower city of Jerusalem, Shamira is no stranger to injustice at the hands of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Her family is shunned by many in the Jewish community who believe that their misfortune in life is the result of a secret sin. Rumors are spreading of a nearby healer with incredible abilities; if the stories are true, then the Messiah may be near, and Shamira will stop at nothing in the pursuit of a miracle. Asa spends every day at the temple under the tutelage of his strict father, an elite Levite priest who enforces the laws without mercy. Between the growing demands of the Roman government and the threats of the Zealots, tensions are high. When Shamira, the girl who stole his heart years ago, asks him to help her find the healer called Jesus, he must choose to either follow in his father's footsteps or forge his own path. Shamira knows that both her life and the lives of her loved ones could be changed forever, but only if she can find a way to speak to the man called Jesus of Nazareth before it's too late.

Download or read book We Aren t Broke written by Mark Elsdon and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if everything you need is already there? Many Christian churches and related institutions in the United States are struggling or, in some cases, facing imminent crisis, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Attendance is down. Funding is harder to come by. People are no longer drawn to traditional church services and programming in the ways that they once were. Often, we feel broke and powerless to do much about it. We settle for doing more with less: Less money. Fewer people. Fewer churches. But if we reexamine our perceived limits and our assumptions about how resources are supposed to be used, then something remarkable and beautiful comes into view: we aren’t broke at all but have enormous resources at our disposal. Church and missional organizations nationwide own billions of dollars of prime property and investment assets, which, when combined with social enterprise and new expressions of mission, can be put to work for innovation and transformation. And these resources are often available to us right now. This book is an invitation to envision a different way of putting God’s gifts to work in the world. It draws upon a remarkable story of rebirth at a Presbyterian affiliated campus ministry center at the University of Wisconsin, along with profiles of other creative social enterprises, to describe how church property and investment assets can be put to work for innovation, transformation, and financial sustainability. Theologically rooted but practically minded, it provides guidance and tools for church and nonprofit leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors of all kinds who are seeking new ways to fund and participate in God’s work in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. 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 The Five Books of Moses NUMBERS written by Jeanne Gossett Halsey and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moses the great Law-Giver wrote five golden books for the whole world to know what Jehovah God - the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - had done, from the (literal) Beginning (when the Earth was created), until the day His people entered their Promised Land. From these books - even those that seem to be all about rules and regulations, long lists of names and places - we have the foundation for civilization. Humanity is supposed to live by the Word of God, by the Laws of God, under the guidance and teaching of God Himself. Every chapter of the book of Numbers has relevance to the 21st century.

Download or read book The Historical Books SECOND KINGS written by Jeanne Gossett Halsey and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-09-20 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Would that we were a "Battalion of Praying Elishas"! Praying against the attacks of the Enemy, asking God for His supernatural intervention, trusting in His promises to deploy His Heavenly Soldiers to fight on our behalf. People who do not hesitate to join our faith with God's Holy Army and do spiritual warfare that results in tangible change. We may not get to climb into Chariots of Fire and ride into battle, but the fuel for those Heavenly Horses is filled by our prayers with faith, our impossible prayers for His miraculous answers. Are you "feeling militant" today?

Download or read book The Historial Books FIRST CHRONICLES written by Jeanne Gossett Halsey and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-10-04 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dialogue in 1st Chronicles 17:15-27, between David and God, is one of the most pure and genuine displays of a humble heart we are going to read in the entire Bible. David loved God ... and God loved David. David was utterly committed to the Father/son relationship he enjoyed with God. He constantly looked for God's presence in every situation of life - and this attitude was reiterated throughout his life; including those fiercely intense times on the battlefield when he was swinging his sword with all his might, stabbing into another human's body or hacking off the head of his enemy (see 1 Samuel 17:37, 45-47). Both the verses in 1st Samuel and 1st Chronicles sound like a man who knows that God is with him! Never once did David take credit for defeating his enemies - every time he declared it was God moving through him that won the battle.

Download or read book The Five Books of Moses EXODUS written by Jeanne Gossett Halsey and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-02-07 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Exodus 7: My imagination takes me to Pharaoh's throne-room where his courtiers are pacing around and muttering, ""That Moses needs to go down! Those Hebrews need to be punished again!"" Only a small percentage of the Egyptian population grumbled against Moses; most of them were friendly with their Hebrew counterparts, and willingly shared their silver and gold with them as parting gifts. (My goodness, prosperity in a time when the world is falling apart ? imagine that!) Shows how out-of-touch with the grassroots that politicians can be. Then there's this ""Tweet"" that Moses sends to Pharaoh as a parting shot: ""All these your servants will come down to me and bow themselves before me, saying 'Go out, you and all the people who follow you, ' and after that, I will go out."" And he went out from Pharaoh in hot anger"" (Exodus 11:8). Sounds familiar? I guess people haven't changed that much in 5,000 years.

Download or read book The Digital Factory written by Moritz Altenried and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-01-05 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Digital Factoryreveals the hidden human labor that supports today’s digital capitalism. The workers of today’s digital factory include those in Amazon warehouses, delivery drivers, Chinese gaming workers, Filipino content moderators, and rural American search engine optimizers. Repetitive yet stressful, boring yet often emotionally demanding, these jobs require little formal qualification, but can demand a large degree of skills and knowledge. This work is often hidden behind the supposed magic of algorithms and thought to be automated, but it is in fact highly dependent on human labor. The workers of today’s digital factory are not as far removed from a typical auto assembly line as we might think. Moritz Altenried takes us inside today’s digital factories, showing that they take very different forms, including gig economy platforms, video games, and Amazon warehouses. As Altenried shows, these digital factories often share surprising similarities with factories from the industrial age. As globalized capitalism and digital technology continue to transform labor around the world, Altenried offers a timely and poignant exploration of how these changes are restructuring the social division of labor and its geographies as well as the stratifications and lines of struggle.

Download or read book Historic Firsts in U S Elections written by Evelyn M. Simien and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historic Firsts in U.S. Elections:Trailblazing Candidates in Gubernatorial, Congressional, and Mayoral Campaigns examines barrier-breaking figures across various types of elective offices and constituent groups. The moment in which historic firsts enter the electoral arena, and the unique campaigns that ensue, are shown to be symbolically empowering. These change agents on the campaign trail become lighting rods for more liberal policies, and their candidacies are tied to questions of representation, electability, and performance. The distinctive combinations of race, ethnicity, and gender identities represented here translate into voter excitement to go to the polls and participate in other ways. Original chapters by respected scholars and practitioners consider how recent breakthrough elections are similar to yet different from past elections for gubernatorial, congressional, and mayoral offices. The shadow of Donald Trump’s wildly unconventional U.S. presidency looms over this groundbreaking analysis, linking local to national level politics. For students of politics across the curriculum, this book expands the theoretical capacity of intersectionality research and links it to voter mobilization and electoral success.

Download or read book The Emperor Has No Clothes written by Jeanne Gossett Halsey and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I'm a believer in Absolutes. I believe in the Laws of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geology, Mathematics, Logic, Cosmology, and so on ... and in the Word of God, the Bible. I believe in the Law of Conception: that when a female's egg is united with the male's sperm, a human being is created; and immediately upon fertilization, the gender has been determined by the father's chromosomes. The embryo that grows into a fetus that is delivered as a human baby has been carrying its gender identification from its first moment of existence. The child is either a boy or a girl; no more, no less, and nothing in between. This is more than fact - it is truth. The Final Arbiter of Truth is Jesus Christ.

Download or read book The Five Books of Moses GENESIS written by Jeanne Gossett Halsey and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-01-21 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After completing the "Through the New Testament In A Year" challenge in 2018, and successfully publishing all 12 books that encompass the "New Testament as a multi-volume devotional" ("The Bible According to Jeanne"), I looked at the Old Testament. I realized a thorough examination of these 39 books would take way longer than 12 months to accomplish; so I found a plan that permits chapter-by-chapter reading, plus a few chapters into Matthew to round off the year - over two years.
