Through out the years I have developed a hunger for God's Word and a hunger to know God in all His fullness. I have experienced the power of Jesus Christ, and no one can tell me that Jesus can't perform miracles because I have seen the power of Jesus Christ do miracles. I watched Jesus Christ heal my daughter from Lymphoma cancer, when others said she wouldn't make it. Today my daughter is alive and well and I know it was a miracle from God. I watched Jesus Christ heal myself from drugs, alcohol and cigarettes when others said I wouldn't make it. Once you experienced the power of God and His Son Jesus Christ. There is no other life, but life with Jesus Christ.I pray that the readers of this book will greatly benefit from the truth for deliverance and preservation that comes from Salvation through Jesus Christ. Father, I know that your purpose is not to leave anyone behind, I thank you for using me as a vessel to share my faith and teaching to Christians as well as non-believers, to trust and believe the truth. "That God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, [Jesus Christ], that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16 NKJV)." Amen.We can't earn salvation; we are saved by God's grace when we have faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. All you have to do is believe you are a sinner that Christ died for your sins, and ask His forgiveness. Then turn from your sins, that's called repentance. Jesus Christ knows you and loves you. What matters to Him is the attitude of your heart, your honesty. If you repeat after me you can be saved by God's grace. "Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe you died for my sins and rose from the dead. I trust and follow you as my Lord and Savior. Guide my life and help me to do your will in your name. Amen. Now you are a Christian saved by God grace. And guest what? There is know other Christ Believer better then you. The Bible says, "For there is no partiality with God (Romans 2:11 NKJV)." We are all the same in God's eyes. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold all things have become new (2 Cor. 5:17NKJV).""Trust in the lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and he shall direct your paths (Prov. 3:5-6 NKJV)." Thank you, Author: Samuel L. Lockhart

Download or read book Sailboat Church written by Joan S. Gray and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is your church a rowboat church or a sailboat church? Rowboat churches depend largely on human effort. In a time of often shrinking budgets and membership, rowboat churches frantically row harder against a current, often frustrated and disappointed at their efforts. Sailboat churches, on the other hand, take up the oars, hoist sales, and rely on the Holy Spirit to guide them. Arguing that churches should be “sailboats,” author Joan S. Gray encourages readers to shift concern from the many daily, practical concerns of their local church to consider how new directions might be found by allowing the Holy Spirit to provide fresh ideas. The book includes four days of sailing prayers, quotes from Scripture, brief reflection questions, and an extensive bibliography that is arranged by theme. Perfect for groups to read together, this book will help leaders reframe their church’s mission and practice with the Holy Spirit as their guide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author takes us back through the portals to the past, to glimpse the pioneer spirit of his grandparents who settled in Oklahoma Territory in 1893. He tells of the German/Irish influence on his family and the cultural changes over the years. He interprets his experience from a conservative perspective and encourages us to follow the Constitution. He tells of the war years in the 40’s in Oklahoma, and his teen experience in the late 50’s in Florida. He talks about his family, football, and marriage, his children and his vocation. We learn about his love for adventure, free-diving, and spearfishing in Florida and the Bahamas. In the midst of material success, he recognized there was something missing in his life. During this period, he had a spiritual encounter with the Lord. He received Jesus Christ, as Lord and Savior, and his life direction changed. He tells how he continued his education as he pastored churches in Texas and Florida. He tells of the crisis when his wife of 20 years left the family and filed for divorce. He talks about the pain of rejection for him and his children, and the challenges of raising children in a one parent home. Nine years later, the Lord brought a wonderful, godly woman into his life. They have ministered together for over thirty years and plan to continue as God leads. The author takes us on a pictorial journey that includes educational trips to the Holy Land and mission trips to South Africa. As he closes the portal, he reminds us that we are all “Sailing Toward The Son.” Our final destination, The New Jerusalem, will be ours if we place our faith in our ship’s “Captain.”
Download or read book Sailing Home written by Norman Fischer and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2011-07-05 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homer’s Odyssey holds a timeless allure. It is an ancient story for every generation: the struggle of a man on a long and difficult voyage longing to return to love and family. Odysseus’s strivings to overcome both divine and earthly obstacles and to control his own impulsive nature hold valuable lessons for us as we confront the challenges of daily life. Sailing Home breathes fresh air into a classic we thought we knew, revealing its profound guidance for the modern seeker. Dividing the book into three parts—“Setting Forth,” “Disaster,” and “Return”—Fischer charts the course of Odysseus’s familiar wanderings. Readers come to see this ancient hero as a flawed human being who shares their own struggles and temptations, such as yielding to desire or fear or greed, and making peace with family. Featuring thoughtful meditations, illuminating anecdotes from Fischer’s and his students’ lives, and stories from many wisdom traditions including Buddhist, Judaic, and Christian, Sailing Home shows the way to greater purpose in our own lives. The book’s literary dimension expands its appeal beyond the Buddhist market to a wider spiritual audience and to anyone interested in the teachings of myth and story.
