Download or read book Radical written by David Platt and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.

To find a sense of soul-steadying peace? To develop emotional strength? Then you will need to pause long enough to be still and know He is God. Trusted Pastor Robert Morgan leads us through a journey into biblical meditation, which, he says, is thinking Scripture—not just reading Scripture or studying Scripture or even thinking about Scripture—but thinking Scripture, contemplating, visualizing, and personifying the precious truths God has given us. The practice is as easy and portable as your brain, as available as your imagination, as near as your Bible, and the benefits are immediate. As you ponder, picture, and personalize God’s Word, you begin looking at life through His lens, viewing the world from His perspective. And as your thoughts become happier and holier and brighter, so do you.

Download or read book Vibrant written by Carol Burton McLeod and published by Whitaker House. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever met someone who possessed a quiet radiance so rich, so dynamic, that you ached for more, someone whose presence is so compelling you feel refreshed by a single conversation with them? If you know someone like this, you anticipate your times together. You realize their joy is contagious, their peace is deep, and their compassion is engaging. Such people are “vibrant.” Regardless of their socioeconomic status, their education, their marital status, or their health, these people are determined to live joyfully, seeing each obstacle as an opportunity for growth. The vibrant individual’s persona is attached to their convictions rather than their circumstances. Author Carol Burton McLeod believes everyone can choose to be Vibrant: Developing a Deep and Abiding Joy for All Seasons—and such a life begins by emulating Jesus. His life was filled with challenges and yet people were drawn to Him. Every character trait that we are called to embrace, every action of kindness or love, and each word of compassion or tenderness is a telling reflection of Christ within us. We are called to be a vibrant show-and-tell of what God is able to accomplish through one ordinary person. Carol explores what it means to follow Jesus in a world filled with disappointment, rejection, and discouragement. And she provides gentle encouragement and suggestions from Scripture to help us do just that.

Download or read book The Flourishing Soul written by Kevin Gephart and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2019-10-30 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon." Psalm 92:12 This is more than just a verse of Scripture. These words come from the mouth and heart of Almighty God and contain two great promises explained in two grand creation masterpieces: the palm tree and the great cedar of Lebanon. The growth of palms and cedars may not be rapid, but the picture of strength, endurance and resilience cannot be missed or lightly gone over. As we gaze on the palm standing tall and straight, even after a terrific storm battered it, we are to be quick to recognize the comparison the Lord is making in this single verse. And when we pause and reflect the mighty cedar, a tree that was used to bolster the structure of God's Temple in Jerusalem, we have to take a long look at what our God is telling us in this key passage. The palm grows slowly, steadily, untouched by the many challenges and seasons that directly affect other trees. "The Flourishing Soul" focuses on the biblical fact that the righteous will flourish in all places. The palm does so in the valley, while the cedar thrives on the mountain. Both trees are evergreens, implying that the righteous will remain fruitful and useful even "in old age." No matter what the righteous man may encounter, the palm and cedar teach us that flourishing will take place under all circumstances; the palm does so in drought and dreadful storms, while the cedar continues to thrive through harsh, winter storms and frost. Flourishing like the palm tree and growing as strong and tall as a cedar in Lebanon is God's awesome destination for all His children! Throughout "The Flourishing Soul," you'll be taken on a journey of all the places God's Word references the steady and sturdy palm tree. You'll discover how our Christian life is reflected in those many passages and given practical guidelines to help you become that righteous person to flourish as the palm and grow as the cedar!
