Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spirit of God said to me, Close your eyes, and I did. Then He said, This is why men should always pray; now open your eyes. As I did, the person that had knocked me to the floor jumped back and shouted as loud as she could to her friend that was with her, Look at her! She is crazy! Man, she is crazy! She backed away from me to the door of the room and called the police on her own self. Life can be like a tennis game; it serves you up all kind of unexpected moves. You have to know how to return your play to be a winner. Jesus made it clear, His favor and loving-kindness and mercy are enough for you through any danger. My strength and power will pitch a tent over and dwell upon you.[1 Corinthians 12:9] while walking Gods tightrope to victory in this world.
Download or read book Walking the Tightrope Without a Grace Net written by Brenda M. Myers and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Christian life was meant to be danced but not on your tip toes. A tightrope walk was my spiritual life. One missed step meant you were falling into hell if you didn't repent immediately. I was taught that true Christians never sinned, or if they did, they would have to "get saved" all over again. An unreasonable standard of "holiness" and a constant striving of perfection flowed from this belief. Lists of dos and don'ts were in abundance in an effort to practice the "idol of holiness." Are you walking that tightrope? By understanding God's true character through His saving grace on the cross, you can break free from the bondage of legalism and unholy fear, anxiety, and frustration, into a life of gratefulness for God's love, mercy, and grace. You can begin the balancing act of leaving legalism behind and finding true liberty in Christ.

Book excerpt: 'Groundless Gods: The Theological Prospects of Post-Metaphysical Thought' deals with possible interpretations of an emerging interest in contemporary theology: postmetaphysical theology.

The book asks, for instance, whether this world has any singular definition, and whether God is some being standing apart from the world or an experience within the world.
