Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Study and review of our COLLECTIVE EVOLUTION has resulted in * Our scientific discoveries * Our current technology * Our knowledge regarding our origin, development and current existence. All of which tends to dismiss belief in the existence of a God who created us and our entire reality, its easy to conclude that. WE ARE ON OUR OWN and that EVERYTHING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED are but FLUKY, CHANCE, RANDOM OCCURRENCES STILL WE MARVEL at the incredible glory, beauty, majesty, awesome power, complexity, magnificent design and wonder in our observed reality of both our world and our universe. We reflect on GOODNESS and EVIL in our world and realise that EVOLUTION really has NO STANDARDS regarding good and evil. These only exist in our minds and are judgements of what happens in our lives and our relationships with others. Our history however shows us that this concept is very important in our lives and that our ancestors believed in and developed systems incorporating good and evil resulting in worship of a God or Gods that existed and controlled all humanity. WERE THEY ALL WRONG? I don't think so, this book acclaims with joy God's existence, His love for us and His desire to help each of us to find our path back to Him. So that we can share Eternity with Him.

Download or read book The Hope Joy That Discovering God Gives Our Lives written by Anthony Lambert and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2018-01-15 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you stopped to wonder what your life is all about, why youre here, and where youre going as your life is timing out? You can claim youre far too busy trying hard to reach your goal. Now is the time to stop, reflect, and think about your soul. We are constantly amazed and dazzled by discoveries made in our world and universe. We marvel at what is being discovered, invented, and achieved by our fellow man. Very little, however, is related back to God. His existence and presence in our world is seldom acknowledged or thought about. It is easy to conclude that we are on our own and that there is no God. Still we marvel at the incredible glory, beauty, majesty, awesome power, and wonder of our observed world and universe. Could a god be possible? Yes. Yes, not only is it possible, but he is there for us and drawing us to him.

Baker, Ph.D. Co-founder and Executive Chairman of the Board, Iris Global"The joy of knowing Jesus and the privilege that we have to share the good news with others at times is breathtaking. "Discovering the Joy" by Andrew Chalmers will point you to the source of all true Joy and that is Jesus.

Download or read book Open Hands Willing Heart written by Vivian Mabuni and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2019-07-09 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover how yielding ourselves wholly to God, especially in the midst of challenging circumstances, lends new purpose to our lives. “Vivian Mabuni is a kind and trustworthy guide through one of adulthood’s secrets: life doesn’t go like you thought it would.”—Jen Hatmaker, New York Times best-selling author of For the Love and Of Mess and Moxie As women after God’s heart, we honestly desire to please God. We want to be used by Him and to experience the peace and fulfillment He wants for us. Yet it’s all too easy to fall into living mechanically, with a rule-based approach to the Christian life, or to focus on getting what we want when we want it. Even when we want to be willing, saying yes to whatever God asks often feels scary, and the distractions of this world get in the way. Vivian Mabuni knows this all too well, but she’s discovered that open-handed living starts with an intentional posture of the heart. Through surrender to His will, we draw closer to God in a way that makes our day-to-day lives more purposeful, powerful, and pleasing to Him. With Vivian’s warm encouragement in Open Hands, Willing Heart, you’ll learn how to step out in courageous trust as you invite God to give and take—and move and work—in your life as He sees fit. Along the way you’ll discover true joy and serenity that will carry you through every circumstance.
Download or read book Why I Love the Apostle Paul written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2019-01-17 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Besides Jesus, no one has kept me from despair, or taken me deeper into the mysteries of the gospel, than the apostle Paul." —John Piper No one has had a greater impact on the world for eternal good than the apostle Paul—except Jesus himself. For John Piper, this impact is very personal. He does not just admire and trust Paul. He loves him. Piper gives us thirty glimpses into why his heart and mind respond this way. Can a Christian-killer really endure 195 lashes from a heart of love? Can a mystic who thinks he was caught up into heaven be a model of lucid rationality? Can an ethnocentric Jew write the most beautiful call to reconciliation? Can a person who lives with the unceasing anguish of empathy be always rejoicing? Can a man's description of the horrors of human sin be exceeded by his delight in human splendor? Can a man with a backbone of steel be as tender as a nursing mother? If we know this man—if we see what Piper sees—we too will love him. Paul's testimony is a matter of life and death. Piper invites you into his relationship with Paul in the hope that you will know life, forever.
