This book was released on 2019-10-04 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You Are Chosen! is a challenge-a challenge for Christians to become warriors for Christ. For the second time in history Christianity is the most persecuted religion on Earth. All around the world are church bombings, executions, lawsuits, hostile legislation, incarceration, torture. Today's churches spend precious little time teaching Christians to live in a world that hates and targets them for their faith. Yet the properly trained warrior knows that Christ came to set fire to the Earth and that His Kingdom would suffer both oppression and violence. They know Christ never came to bring world peace, and that they must be prepared for persecution. More than ever, Christians need to be properly trained and equipped. With proper guidance and armor, Christians can become warriors for Christ and confidently sing, "Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered." (Ps. 68:1)' Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword, ' Christ told his disciples. (Matt. 10:34 NASB)Step by step, You Are Chosen! turns the reader into an effective warrior for Christ. From understanding the ways of God's enemies, to knowing how to put on God's full armor, the reader will learn how to become "worthy" to Christ. Jesus said to his disciples, "He who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." (Matt. 10:38) But what does it mean to "take up the cross" and be counted "worthy"? Becoming "worthy" of Christ is vital for every Christian who wants to live under divine protection, especially in an age of persecution. The only way to escape that day of evil is to be counted "worthy." Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. (Luke 21:36, emphasis added) The authors take a hard look at important scriptures almost universally ignored (or grossly misinterpreted) by today's church. What did Christ mean when he said the Kingdom of God would suffer violence? Did Christ really come to bring peace to all? Why did Christ tell his disciples to sell everything and buy a sword? What does it really mean to "turn the other cheek"? Is the Antichrist coming? Is he already here? In a world that increasingly denies the existence of God, the validity of human life at conception, the existence of gender roles or even the fact that God created male and female, Christians must learn to provide their communities with the Salt and Light of scripture: We are the salt of the Earth, meaning we are not only here to give flavor to the world, but to act as a preserver of God's glorious truths. If we fail to do this, we are worthless as a Christian body. Increasingly, the world of non-believers does not shy away from displaying their hatred for Christian soldiers who bring this Salt and Light. They will do whatever they can to shut down God's truths and silence those who dare to enunciate them. Employers are firing Christians over their biblical views. Christians have faced malicious and ruinous lawsuits. Others have gone to jail. Still others have been subjected to violence. Christian businesses have been forced to shut down.Former Arkansas Governor and onetime presidential candidate Mike Huckabee explained it this way on FOX News: 'Today, the new direction of the left is: In the name of tolerance be intolerant. In the name of love, hate people. In the name of diversity, demand conformity. Because that's where we are."Christ did not choose the church for defeat; He chose the church for victory. You Are Chosen! teaches survival skills for the Kingdom of God and how to "crush Satan under your feet." (Ro. 16:20)But it will take the proper training, equipment, scriptural insight and instructions. You Are Chosen! focuses on the tools necessary for every Christian to stand firm and scatter the enemies of Christ. As a Christian warrior you can be triumphant in a fallen world.

This book was released on 2022-02-25 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The times in which we live are often described as “unprecedented.” The word might be overused, yet the last few years have seen exceptional healthcare challenges, loss of human life, economic disruption, and political turmoil. We are now in the second year of novel coronavirus and its global impact. Most people either know someone who died from the virus or have experienced its nefarious effects in other ways—illness, unemployment, school and border closures, shortages, confinement, addiction, fear, anxiety. Families were separated from loved ones who died alone in hospitals and nursing homes. We wait for a return to normal or a new normal and live with the lingering suspicion that life will never be the same. Where do we look for hope? As Christians, our ultimate hope is in God and his promises. Christians have dual citizenship, earthly and heavenly. On earth they want what most people want—security, satisfaction, and significance—and desire a better world. Christians also assert that this world order will pass away and every person will live somewhere forever. These messages from God’s word seek to point Christians and non-Christians to Jesus Christ as the only one who provides genuine, eternal hope.
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.

Download or read book The Joy of the Gospel written by Pope Francis and published by Image. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth. Includes a foreword by Robert Barron, author of Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith and James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage

Download or read book The 48 Laws of Power written by Robert Greene and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2023-10-31 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature. In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum. Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.

Download or read book Above Beyond written by J.A. Landry and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-06-12 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Above Beyond delivers a unique take on the age-old good against evil theme in a very refreshing, surprisingly uncommon, and perhaps controversial way. As the Fallen One uses children as pawns to convert and control perniciousness, the heavenly bodies step in for the first time in 2015 years to interrupt the evil process. Both the angel of evil and God of holiness recruit and show the way. The fray and the sub-plots are stunning, and read as no story ever told or read before. Biblical verse and passage is sensitive and sensible in presentation and prop-up the profound novel throughout.
