Book excerpt: Discerning the difference between religion and spirituality provides uncertainty for even the most devoted believer. For a newborn Christian or non-believer, being tossed into the sea of confusion when it comes to the mysteries of God and the 'fleshy' church can be daunting enough to have anyone run the other way. Maybe you are confused by different religions or find hypocrisy in the church. Maybe you find your relationship with God leaves you feeling bored and lifeless, or the hype surrounding the church does not meet your needs. Whatever your reason for lacking a personal relationship with God, you can still learn the tools to strengthen, build, and mend a spiritual union with your Creator. While many straddle the fence between religion and spirituality, author Alexys V. Wolf hopes to guide you in your transition from rigid religion to spiritual intimacy with God. Learn to walk in divine light and authority, grow the courage to live a fulfilled life of peace and understanding without judgment, and develop patience and wisdom with your fellow believers. By creating a private bond with God, you will hunger for the Word and never again get lost in the mundane world of man-made religion. By learning to die to the flesh and accept God's powerful association in your life, you will no longer be lost at the crossroads of religion; rather, you will develop a friendship like none other with the Father and radiate a light that will shine for others. Challenge yourself now to Look for God.

Download or read book Seeking God written by Richard Mayhue and published by Christian Focus. This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you have - Spiritual Progress, Spiritual Power, Spiritual Priorities, Spiritual Passions, Spiritual Pursuits? We would love to see our spiritual intimacy with God improve but an intimate relationship is one marked by close association, contact or familiarity. To expand it involves warmth, tenderness, love, transparency, security, vulnerability, strength, commitment, knowledge and understanding. Doesn't your heart just yearn for a relationship like that? Our chaotic world is characterised by independence, intimacy is in short supply. It breeds a brutal, self-seeking attitude devoid of intimacy. That is why marriages crumble, families disintegrate and friendships fail. Yet, God beckons us to be intimate with him. The barbarity of the secular mindset can only be neutralised by spiritual intimacy with a compassionate God. Someone who is utterly trustworthy and whose plans are unable to be put off course. Therefore, our generation's greatest need is to reclaim a sense of intimacy with God, one that will reshape our souls and redirect our lives.

Book excerpt: A renowned, respected teacher and mentor to thousands, Sobonfu Somi is one of the first and foremost voices of African spirituality to come to the West. Somi was born in Dano, Burkina Faso, a remote West African village with a population of about two hundred people.

Download or read book Fully Known written by Mo Aiken and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We were made for intimacy--spiritual intimacy with God that brings oneness and bears powerful fruit. We were made to know Him and be known by Him, fully. So why do we often feel burnt-out, distant, and disheartened in our journey of faith? How do we cultivate true intimacy with God? And what does His design of physical, sexual intimacy unveil of the full gospel story? Sharing Word-backed, Holy Spirit-breathed revelation with humility and openhanded honesty, New York Times bestselling author Mo Aiken walks alongside us through the beauty and power of life lived in active communion with God, rather than the self-seeking, counterfeit faith we've settled for. Unpacking eternity-defining concepts that have become confusing, offensive, or altogether ignored--like submission, repentance, sanctification, holiness, and discipline--Mo shows us how God has given us a physical model of spiritual intimacy through His design of marriage, sex, and family. Exposing many roots of selfishness and perversion we see so often in our relationships, both human and divine, she invites us to pure-hearted and transformational communion with our Creator. If you've felt far from God, caught in broken relationships, dead in religion, and longing to be fully known, join Mo on this journey of return to right-natured intimacy with our First Love.

Book excerpt: How intentional have you been in participating in your spiritual growth? Have you experienced a spiritual drought? Are you willing to do something new in order to take your relationship with God to another level of intimacy? Have you considered dating God? Relationships are vulnerable to the weights of everyday life - the daily responsibilities, distractions, challenges, and stresses that can take a toll on quality time and intimacy. A season of adversity can reveal neglected bonds at risk of being burned out by love fatigue. Life has a way of testing the depth of love and the commitment you aspire to share with those dearest to your heart. Not only can the time decrease - so does the communication, passion, and attention you seek to give. Your relationship with God is not immune from being at risk and suffering similar complications that manifest in human relationships. Often when this occurs, your intimacy with God is challenged and so is your ability to love yourself and others. The lack of attention, nurturing, and replenishing of love causes a spiritual drought, which can in turn lead to trouble in paradise - complicating every relationship to which you're connected. Your depth of intimacy with God is relational to your ability to persevere in all your interpersonal bonds. Creating time to pursue intimacy with God will equip you with the ability to withstand all who threaten your spiritual fruitfulness in love. As an opportunity to support you in growing and sustaining intimacy with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, A God Date will guide you to a fresh way of engaging your relationship with God. With an open and humble heart, you are invited to experience an intimacy that will root you in Christ and ignite your spiritual formation. A God Date is a lifeline to resuscitate the essence of love God intended to share with humanity since the beginning of creation.
