Download or read book Tough Truths for Tough Times written by Saundra L. Washington D.D. and published by Saundra L Washington. This book was released on 2011-04-25 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today we do not experience great manifestations of God as Moses did many years ago. God has not spoken to us out of a burning bush and neither have we heard His voice as He walked in the cool of the day in the Garden of Eden. We have not looked up over our house of worship and seen the Shekinah glory of God in a visible way. But God does reach into our hearts and into our life and speak to us through His holy Word.One of the outstanding characteristics of Jesus while on earth was His keen skills of observation. He possessed what we sometimes refer to as a “homiletic mind†and saw sermon illustrations at every turn. As He lifts up some simple happening and draws insights from it, we feel refreshed by His words and they speak directly to our own condition.The twenty-one tough truths for these troubled times that furnish the content of this book do not originate with the author, but extracted from the storehouse of God’s inexhaustible truth found in both Old and New Testaments. The insights speak to the soul with urgings to rise above the petty to the significant, the secular to the sacred, and the finite to the infinite.

And yet, as you’ll see firsthand in this compelling Bible study, the journey to that goal was filled with dangers, delays, and difficulties. Just like David, every man has a dream of who he wants to become. But getting there is a different story. Hardships and losses can destroy the faith–and even the life–of a lesser man. Many men fail to realize their dreams because they choose comfort over character, image over substance, and escape over endurance. But a man who knows how to embrace hardship and learn to mine it for God’s purposes will see his godly dreams come true. Hardships are inevitable. Embracing them is a choice. God’s dream for you is at stake. And Being God’s Man…in Tough Times will equip you to overcome life’s difficulties in the power and wisdom of God.

Download or read book Hard Truths written by Congressman Mike Waltz and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2024-10-22 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congressman and retired Green Beret Mike Waltz shares how the mindset he honed in military service can help anyone—in politics, in business or in life—conquer everyday challenges. Up in the mountains of Afghanistan, one of Mike Waltz's snipers watched through his scope as a young boy acted as a spotter for the Taliban mortars attacking a Green Beret position. The sniper requested permission to fire. Waltz refused, insisting on restraint. The child was spared, and the position was held. Later that same day, Waltz visited a nearby Afghan village and discovered the Taliban had hanged a boy in front of his family—because the child wasn't willing to fight for them. Restraint is a trait common to Green Berets, but rare on the battlefield—and even rarer in today's national political discourse. Now, Mike Waltz is a retired Colonel and a U.S. Representative from Florida, the first Green Beret ever to be elected to Congress. After twenty-seven years in the Army, nearly all of them in the elite Special Forces where he fought America's enemies around the world, he has developed a perspective distinct from most—probably all—of his colleagues in politics today.
