Download or read book Marriage The Earthly Heaven written by Bshara Salem and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREFACE This is such a funny world where for everything that we do we need a license, and for each and every license we go to school, spend hours, days and even years of studies, but that is not enough, we have to be subjugated to a test. If we pass this test we will be granted a diploma, a certificate or a license and then we will be qualified to practice whatever we have learned. A food handler is not allowed to work in a kitchen unless he/she passes a test on the rules and regulations of how to handle food and then he/she will be granted a permit to work in the food industry. A lawyer will spend years of intense studies and still would not be permitted to practice law unless he/she passes the bar exam. A physician, a pharmacist, a smog check tester, a hair stylist, a nurse, a dental assistant, a chiropractor, and mostly any kind of job that will affect any other individual would need an intense course of studies and an exam before a license is granted. But the most important of professions, the one on which the future of the country depends on, the one that the future of the society and the future of the family relies on, the one that causes happiness and pleasure or sadness and depression, the one that makes scholars and professionals or drug addicts and prostitutes of the children does not need a course of studies, but anyone can go and get a license, no questions asked. This most important license of them all is the MARRIAGE LICENSE. It does not mean, however, that dooms-day is at the door. It only means that if marriage is not going to be taken seriously, the family as a whole will crumble from all the side effects of divorces, separations, quarrels and lack of communication. And this is why each individual who is married or thinks of marriage should learn its ABC-s regardless of whether the government will mandate a school program in all its high schools for that purpose or offer marriage courses with tests before it grants a marriage license. Until we find other means, marriage will continue to be the only way for the continuance of the human survival as it is known today. There is no doubt that life will continue as long as the powerful among us will not use their ingenuity of mass destruction and turn our little planet into ashes. It is very important to know something about the history of mankind and figure out the truths and the lies that the media showers us with every single day. Once we figure the truth, it will be very easy to handle our lives in a more positive way. History was greatly distorted and this book tackles a few of those distortions so that marriage will be meaningful, significant and rewarding. The book is full of real short stories, about different people and different problems, many people can and will identify with one or more of those real stories, simply because they are common, and each of them happened to too many people. The purpose was to expose those situations anonymously, find solutions and hope that they will benefit others before they fall in the same situation, and not to demote or promote the character of any of the readers. This informative book is for all, married or single, rich or poor, religious or atheists even democrats or republicans, so as to live a very loving, rewarding and pleasant life, and so as to see the hidden problems that might lie ahead, and solve them before they destroy the family structure which is the basic foundation of the whole society and thus the whole country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inside the Gates of Heaven is one of the most compelling accounts of an individuals encounters with God in this generation. Not only does this account take you on a journey through the gates of glory, it answers some of the questions long asked by many about our eternal destination. I have personally read and re-read this account in light of what the Lord is revealing to many of us in this hour and find that Brother Oden was a forerunner for many of us. His words and experiences have been repeated through many others who have had similar experiences. The Lord is truly trying to encourage this generation with the reality that awaits all of us - Heaven, our eternal destiny. Bruce Allen For those unsure of the existence of Heaven, Oden Hetrick’s detailed account of his visits to the place we all long for serves as a true doubt-demolisher and faith-injector. The fact that Oden led an exemplary righteous, Christian life lends further credence to his written testimony. It was my honor both to have known him as a friend and to have been inspired by his great faith. Steve Jones Extra Mile Ministries www.extramileministries.net The Hetrick family is very special to me. They adopted me into their family like a daughter and sister, and have blessed me in many ways. Dad Hetrick was a genuine man of God with a gentle spirit. I trust you will be blessed and edified by what the Lord has revealed to him. I look forward to experiencing the exciting glories of Heaven soon that he has left on record for our encouragement and instruction. Arlene A. Cober

Download or read book A Better Story written by Glynn Harrison and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2017-01-19 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The architects of the sexual revolution won over the popular imagination because they knew the power of story. They drew together radical new ideologies, often complex and hard to grasp, and melded them into the simpler structure of narrative. Crucially, they cast narratives that appealed to the moral instincts of ordinary, decent people. This moral vision overwhelmed the church and silenced its faltering apologists. The author argues that if Christians still believe they have have good news in the sphere of sexual ethics, then two big tasks lie ahead. Our first priority is to work out what has gone so badly wrong, both in our understanding and application of what the Bible teaches and the way we have presented our case to the non-churched. And then we must offer a better story, one that fires the imagination with such force that people will say, 'I want that to be true.' This book offers a confident, biblically rooted moral vision which needs to be shared with prayer and courage.
Download or read book Providence written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New from Best-Selling Author John Piper From Genesis to Revelation, the providence of God directs the entire course of redemptive history. Providence is "God's purposeful sovereignty." Its extent reaches down to the flight of electrons, up to the movements of galaxies, and into the heart of man. Its nature is wise and just and good. And its goal is the Christ-exalting glorification of God through the gladness of a redeemed people in a new world. Drawing on a lifetime of theological reflection, biblical study, and practical ministry, pastor and author John Piper leads us on a stunning tour of the sightings of God's providence—from Genesis to Revelation—to discover the allencompassing reality of God's purposeful sovereignty over all of creation and all of history. Piper invites us to experience the profound effects of knowing the God of all-pervasive providence: the intensifying of true worship, the solidifying of wavering conviction, the strengthening of embattled faith, the toughening of joyful courage, and the advance of God's mission in this world.
Download or read book Against Jovinianus written by St. Jerome and published by Dalcassian Publishing Company. This book was released on 2019-12-07 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jovinianus, about whom little more is known than what is to be found in Jerome's treatise, published a Latin treatise outlining several opinions: That a virgin is no better, as such, than a wife in the sight of God. Abstinence from food is no better than a thankful partaking of food. A person baptized with the Spirit as well as with water cannot sin. All sins are equal. There is but one grade of punishment and one of reward in the future state. In addition to this, he held the birth of Jesus Christ to have been by a "true parturition," and was thus refuting the orthodoxy of the time, according to which, the infant Jesus passed through the walls of the womb as his Resurrection body afterwards did, out of the tomb or through closed doors.
