Download or read book Stand written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2008-08-27 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Contributions by John Piper, John MacArthur, Jerry Bridges, Randy Alcorn, and Helen Roseveare These powerful calls to godly perseverance from four admired Christians elevate the value and necessity of lifelong faithfulness in the lives of God's people. Many people seek to better their lives by leaving, changing, swapping, or modifying their commitments. But God's Word holds up a beautiful value that, while difficult, leads to deep satisfaction and great reward: endurance. Such long, steady, hold-the-course perseverance is especially needed within our vacillating generation. This thoughtful book thus not only elevates the virtue of godly endurance but bears witness to its power in the Christian life through the exhortations of John Piper-who provides the context and overview for the entire book-John MacArthur, Jerry Bridges, Randy Alcorn, and Helen Roseveare. Each contributor represents a different kind of endurance: from MacArthur's longtime, faithful shepherding of a church to Alcorn's radical obedience in the culture wars, from Bridges' unswerving patience through suffering to Roseveare's courageous constancy on the war-torn mission field. Stand will awaken and solidify rugged, Christ-exalting endurance in people who are weary in their faith journey or who simply long to remain firm to the end. And for everyone who dreams of a Christian culture-shift from brief trial runs to lifelong commitments, John Piper and Justin Taylor's latest offering is a watershed that will serve to seal that vision in people's minds and hearts.

Download or read book Standing on God s Promises Not Sitting on His Premises written by Michael Rucker and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The culture in which we live is an infectious and polarizing wilderness. Facing the challenges of society will require strength outside of us to be successful. It will require faith in God, through His Son Jesus Christ, to address hate, injustice, implicit bias, division, poverty, anti-Semitism, etc. Now more than ever, we must stand on the promises of God through obedience to His Word and not sit on His premises if positive change is to take place in our culture through Christianity. As the scriptures tell us, “For unto us a Child was born, a Son was given, and the government is on His shoulders; and His name is called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6). God promises victory to those who believe, obey His Word, and stand on His promises.

Download or read book Trusting God s Timing written by Steven Stoffelsen and published by Word Alive Press. This book was released on 2017-01-17 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many times Christians excitedly receive a promise or vision from God. From that moment forward, they want to tell the whole world what God is going to do in and through them. It’s so exciting to have a promise from God. The Bible says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18). But when God gives us a promise or vision, it takes time to see it fulfilled. Rarely is the vision for tomorrow or even the next year. It’s for a certain time set by God. He shows it to you early, but He still wants to prepare you for the journey ahead. Many Christians get discouraged during this process and walk away from God. But so many people in the Bible—like Abraham, Joseph, and David—had to go through years of preparation before they saw their visions fulfilled. They waited a long time, probably longer than most of us. Be encouraged and don’t let a thing called time destroy you before you even start. God is for you, and what He’s promised He will bring to pass.

Download or read book Unfailing written by Rob Renfroe and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We've all experienced the pain of broken promises. When those we love fail to keep their commitment to us, we feel betrayed and hurt, less likely to trust again. People fail us. Plans fail. But there is one who is unfailing, who always keeps his word. In Unfailing, pastor and teacher Rob Renfroe reminds us that because God is faithful to his Word we can base our lives on what he has said. And though hard times may follow where we experience confusion, loss, and pain--feeling overwhelmed--if we stand on the promises of God we, too, will not fail. Jesus promised that everyone who hears his words and puts them into practice is like a wise man who builds his house on a rock. Though the storms blow and the streams rise, the house does not fail because it is built on the rock. Renfroe unpacks seven key ways in which God will not fail you, looking at God's promises, grace, peace, presence, guidance, power, strength, and love. Each of these is an important and essential aspect of God's trustworthy and unfailing character, reflecting his faithfulness to you. Each chapter includes a sample prayer as well as personal reflection questions that help you to further apply these truths to your life.

Download or read book Standing for God in a Perverse Generation written by Rev. Dr. Chris Okeke and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2023-06-08 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the primary reasons God elected and kept you alive today is for you to stand for Him in a times of affliction, war, famine, in the time of plenty and in a time lack when people refuse to acknowledge Him as Lord and Savior. God wants you to stand for Him in FAITH, BELIEF, TRUST, OBEDIENCE, AND WORSHIP. There has never been a time in the history of the church that God needed His elect to stand in obedience to all His commandments such as it is now. There’s a sudden, mysterious wave of evil occurrences chiefly trying to undermine the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus which the church represents. Apostle Paul in Ephesians 6:11, said, “Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to STAND against the wiles of the devil.” This book, “Standing for God,” is one of the desired Christian classics which reminds the church to stand solidly in obedience to God’s commandments as we pass through sets of turbulent periods in our lives. Beloved, let us take the word of Moses to the Jews for our comfort: ”Fear ye not, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord which He will accomplish for you today, for the Egyptians whom you see today you shall see again no more.” Exodus 14:13 As you go through this book, may the Holy Spirit help in your wilderness experience to stand and proclaim the salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ. Rev. Dr. Chris Okeke March 15, 2023

Download or read book Standing for God s Ideal written by Randy Langham and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2019-08-28 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The libraries, counseling offices, and even pastors have a variety of viewpoints on divorce and remarriage. When you study these sources, you may discover two common approaches they give for deriving their conclusions. One popular approach comes from the personal experiences of the authors or from the experiences of those close to them. For many authors who are Christians, additional scientific research and Bible verses are added. Another popular approach comes from ministers and/or biblical scholars who evaluate the dozen or so scripture passages directly related to divorce. The authors suggest a biblical understanding of marriage and divorce, which comes from the study of these selected passages. Then you come across this book. The approach of this book is very different. The first part of the book pursues where truth originates. This becomes the foundation for building any faith structure. The next phase of the book looks at the big picture of truth and how it relates to life and, eventually, to aspects of marriage. After presenting the big picture, the book moves to the third phase, which looks at the details of some related passages. In addition to a focus on the true source of truth and a focus on the macroscopic in balance with the microscopic, the book adds another unique feature—fallacies. Thirty-four fallacies expose many false beliefs that are common today. May you look beyond the black-and-white perspectives of dos and don’ts and move to the life of living color, which God makes available to each of us when we put our trust in him and choose to stand for God’s ideal. His principles for life are practical and not a bunch of rigid rules. His truths lead us to an abundant life filled with relevance.
