Download or read book Hymns for a Kid s Heart written by Bobbie Wolgemuth and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2004 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Jewish religious leader named Nicodemus once visited Jesus. Like many people, Nicodemus expected that his good life would earn him a home in Heaven when he died. Imagine how he felt when Jesus said to him, "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3).Jesus explained to Nicodemus that the new birth is a spiritual change that can only be brought about by God. The moment a lost sinner repents of his sins and trusts Jesus as the only One who can save him, he is born again. God gives him a spiritual nature through which he can understand and enjoy the things of God.What Jesus told Nicodemus 2,000 years ago is just as true today. We may try to live a good life, go to church or engage in other commendable activities, but we still must be "born again" in order to be a member of God's family.Haveyoubeen born again? This is life's most important question, because your answer will affect all of your eternity.How do we know that we have been born again? The Bible lists six characteristics in the book of 1 John. These are not requirements in order to be born again, but the results of God working in our lives. No Habitual SinningFirst: "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin" (1 John 3:9).The true Christian does not habitually sin because he wants to please his Lord. Although he is far from perfect, he knows that "if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17). If he does sin, he can confess and "the Lord is faithful and just to forgive" (1 John 1:9). Believing in ChristSecond: "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God" (1 John 5:1).Someone who is born again believes that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. He is the One sent by God the Father to pay the penalty for man's sin by His death on the Cross. His resurrection from the dead on the third day is proof that He is able to forgive us and bring us into fellowship with the Father. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father but by Me" (John 14:6).A born-again Christian does not merelyknowthe facts about Jesus Christ, but he has committed his life to Him as Savior and Lord.The child of God does not depend upon his church, his good deeds or his pastor to bring him eternal life. The Bible says, "For as many as received Him (Jesus Christ), to them gave He power to become the children of God, even to them that believe on His name" (John 1:12). Practicing RighteousnessThird: "Everyone that doeth righteousness is born of Him" (1 John 2:29).Christ is the Christian's example as well as his Savior. Jesus told His disciples, "If ye love Me, keep My commandments" and "ye are My friends, if ye do whatever I command you" (John 14:15; John 15:14).The true Christian lives to please his heavenly Father and tries to avoid those things God hates. Loving Other ChristiansFourth: "We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren" (1 John 3:14).Like Jesus, the child of God loves even his enemies; but he has a special love for those who are also believers. They may be different from him in race, personality and denomination, but they are all members of the same family. "This is the message that ye have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another" (1 John 3:11). Overcoming the WorldFifth, "Whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world" (1 John 5:4).Someone who is born again does not follow the world's ever-changing standard of right and wrong. He does not mind opposing the world's ways, because he seeks God's praise more than man's and fears offending God more than offending man. Keeping Oneself PureSixth, &q

Download or read book Green Street Kid written by Ricardo D. Palacios and published by ArchwayPublishing. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up on Green Street in Laredo, Texas, Ricardo Palacios made the wilderness his playground. The woods, the nearby creek, and the vastness of Chacon Creek Canyon transported him and his young friends away from the strife and poverty of the barrio and into the splendor of nature. Looking back on his life, Palacios reflects on seventy years of memories—from his birth through his days at the all-male St. Joseph’s Academy Catholic school, capturing the powerful camaraderie he shared with his classmates and his experiences playing high school football. He next takes a hard look at his college years, during which he flunked out twice before finally making the commitment to graduate with honors and obtain a law degree. Palacios places his life experiences under a microscope, sharing periods of heavy alcohol use, very stressful years as a rookie attorney, and tales from the trenches about the pitfalls, successes, and failures of his legal practice. He describes his twenty-eight-year marriage, pondering how and why it failed, and tells of wonderful years raising his children on a cattle ranch, with plenty of opportunities for hunting and camping. Green Street Kid is more than the story of one man’s life. It is a portrait of the life and culture of South Texas, where the majority of the population is Hispanic and conflicts sometimes develop between Hispanics and Anglos. It is a story of falling down and rising up again.
