Book excerpt: Are you walking wisely? Dr. Charles Stanley cuts through the mystique of wisdom and presents God's simple plan to bless those who walk in His ways. In Walking Wisely, best-selling author Dr. Charles Stanley reveals this simple fact: there are only two ways to journey through life . . . wisely or unwisely.

To live wisely is to live with God's point of view constantly in mind. Come to the pages of Walking Wisely and discover the secret of looking at life's circumstances from God's perspective and responding to those circumstances according to biblical principles. Reap the rewards of walking wisely and resting in God's purposes for you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Apostle Paul leaves no stone, teaching, or truth untouched as he continues developing a pathway for each of us built upon the foundation of the Triune God. He has carefully and prayer-fully utilized the words in this magnificent letter to clearly, concisely, and forcefully relate the truths revealed to him by the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Paul, in this illuminating sixth chapter of Ephesians, weaves together enlightening commands and counsel that will enhance the lives of people Walking With Jesus. He tells the believers what to do and what not to do in simple, straightforward language. He succinctly describes Christlike conduct, before expounding upon the lifestyles of those who will have no inheritance in the Kingdom of God and Christ. These tough words make one stop and think. At least, they should. The Apostle continues Walking With Jesus by urging Christ's followers to walk wisely and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise. After building this part of God's pathway, Paul focuses our attention on the two most important relationships in one's life: (i) marriage; and (ii) Christ and His church. The truths presented by the Apostle provide Christ's companions, as the walk together, with an increasing faith plus joy, knowledge, love, strength, and wisdom. May we ask for nothing more, nothing less, and nothing else.

Download or read book The Christian s Duty to Walk Wisely written by Matthew Mead and published by Puritan Publications. This book was released on 2015-07-31 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God commands that all Christians are to walk wisely while they live in the world. This command is taken from Ephesians 5:15-16, “…walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise.” Here, Matthew Mead delivers an unparalleled work on wise walking, specifically during times of temptation since, “the days are evil.” His main doctrine is that it is the Christian’s duty to walk wisely in times of temptation. He then gives 7 main points, and 13 particular points to show the wisdom of walking wisely in any time of temptation. This is a rare puritan gem that should be in the hands of every believer that he might be armed against the attacks of Satan's temptations. In the second half of this volume is Mead’s sermon, “The Power of Grace in Weaning the Heart from the World,” taken from Psalm 131:2, “My soul is even as a weaned child.” Here Mead shows the Christian how to die daily to the world, and where the grace of God takes hold of the soul, it makes it as a weaned child to all worldly things. The Christian finds more of Christ which makes him detest the ways of the world day by day.

Download or read book Wandering Or Pondering The Path Of Life written by Douglas Terrill and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our society reveres education. Teaching the mechanics of knowledge, like math, English, and science occupies much of the public schools teaching time. But life is not about earning all the money you possibly can. How do you measure success? What is the purpose of life? These questions must be pondered before one stops wandering through life, and starts walking the path of life which leads to the greatest reward a person can possibly receive, the gift of eternal life. Matthew 6:19-21 is a directive of the Creator of life pointing us to the path of life we should be walking, and working for the treasure that will last for all eternity, laying up treasure in heaven. For where our treasure is, there will be our heart. Can you think of a greater reward in heaven, after meeting your Savior, than to welcome each member of your family into heaven when time on earth ends for each?

Book excerpt: This 10-week study of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon mines the Wisdom Literature not only for wise principles for living, but also for the wise person these books point to through their drama, poetry, proverb, and song. In her accessible and authentic style, Nancy Guthrie focuses on seeing Jesus in the Old Testament instead of emphasizing works-based moralism. She presents clear commentary and contemporary application of gospel truths, speaking directly to issues such as repentance, submission, happiness, and sexuality. Each weekly lesson includes questions for personal study, a contemporary teaching chapter that emphasizes how the passage fits into the bigger story of redemptive history, a brief section on how the passage uniquely points to what is yet to come at the consummation of Christ's kingdom, and a leader's guide for group discussion.

Download or read book Jesus Outside the Lines written by Scott Sauls and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2015-03-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether the issue of the day on Twitter, Facebook, or cable news is our sexuality, political divides, or the perceived conflict between faith and science, today’s media pushes each one of us into a frustrating clash between two opposing sides. Polarizing, us-against-them discussions divide us and distract us from thinking clearly and communicating lovingly with others. Scott Sauls, like many of us, is weary of the bickering and is seeking a way of truth and beauty through the conflicts. Jesus Outside the Lines presents Jesus as this way. Scott shows us how the words and actions of Jesus reveal a response that does not perpetuate the destructive fray. Jesus offers us a way forward—away from harshness, caricatures, and stereotypes. In Jesus Outside the Lines, you will experience a fresh perspective of Jesus, who will not (and should not) fit into the sides.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
