Download or read book An Acceptable Sacrifice written by Jeffery Deaver and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pair of federal agents from either side of the US–Mexico border target a cartel kingpin. They call him “Cuchillo,” the Knife. Not because he kills with a blade—he has plenty of men to do that kind of work for him—but because his mind is so sharp. As Mexico’s government wages war on the drug cartels, it takes brains to survive, and Cuchillo has not just survived—he has prospered. But when Cuchillo begins to cut too deeply, the federal police of both the United States and Mexico step in to dull his blade. P. Z. Evans and Alejo Díaz know the Hermosillo cartel is planning an attack on a tourist bus in Sonora, and they know they will have to capture or kill Cuchillo to stop it. The cartel leader has one weakness: rare, old books. To destroy the intellectual’s evil empire, this unlikely pair of international police will have to appeal to his inner bibliophile. The Bibliomysteries are a series of short tales about deadly books, by top mystery authors.

Download or read book Sex Sacrifice Shame and Smiting written by Donald Kraus and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible presents us with difficult statements about money and finance, social justice, marriage and divorce, sex, religion and politics, and other areas of life. Many of us pick and choose among them, feeling free to treat some of the Bible's moral rulings as absolutes but ignoring those we find unacceptable. Are there areas where we can ignore what the Bible says? Is the Bible is simply wrong about some things? Are we free to argue that we understand things better than the biblical writers did an so can disregard them? Or must we accept what the Bible tells us, no matter how difficult it might be to put into practice? Kraus explores questions of prosperity, treatment of enemies, the death penalty, economics, social justice, sexual behavior, and others.

Download or read book The Pleasures of God written by John Piper and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2012-01-17 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Desiring God reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Includes a study guide for individual and small-group use. Isn’t it true—we really don’t know someone until we understand what makes that person happy? And so it is with God! What does bring delight to the happiest Being in the universe? John Piper writes, that it’s only when we know what makes God glad that we’ll know the greatness of His glory. Therefore, we must comprehend “the pleasures of God.” Unlike so much of what is written today, this is not a book about us. It is about the One we were made for—God Himself. In this theological masterpiece—chosen by World Magazine as one of the 20th Century’s top 100 books, John Piper reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Then we will be able to drink deeply—and satisfyingly—from the only well that offers living water. What followers of Jesus need now, more than anything else, is to know and love—behold and embrace—the great, glorious, sovereign, happy God of the Bible. “This is a unique and precious book that everybody should read more than once.” —J.I. PACKER, Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia

Download or read book Acceptable Offering written by Kyan Swift and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-16 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is an acceptable sacrifice before God? If we do the right thing but with the wrong motive, or a sour attitude, is that good enough? Not according to the Bible. An acceptable sacrifice is the right thing done with the right attitude.In the Old Testament, all sacrifices had to be unblemished. The prophet Malachi condemned the people for not offering God their best. "When you offer blind animals in sacrifice, is that not wrong? And when you offer those that are lame or sick, is that not wrong? Try presenting that to your governor; will he be pleased with you or show you favor?" (Malachi 1:8) The point of requiring unblemished animals was that God deserved the people's best.We make many offerings to God. We come to worship; we serve the church in some way; we reach out to the needy; we gather for study; we give our tithes; we try to do the right thing. The question is, what is our attitude? It is possible to do the right thing with the wrong attitude.Moses is a good example. At the end of Moses' life the Bible gives this evaluation of him. "Never since has there arisen a prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face. He was unequalled for all the signs and wonders that the Lord sent him to perform in the land of Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants and his entire land, and for all the mighty deeds and all the terrifying displays of power that Moses performed in the sight of all Israel." (Deuteronomy 34:10-12) Moses was about as close to God as anyone has ever been.Yet Moses was not able to enter the Promised Land because he failed in his attitude. On one occasion, when the people were in need of water, God told him to speak to the rock that water might flow from it. Instead Moses berated the people and struck the rock in anger. Water flowed from the rock, but God was displeased. Moses did not keep a close watch on his attitude and it cost him dearly. His story is a warning to us.Jesus instructs us to, "Beware, keep alert." (Mark 13:33) This is an instruction about attitude. If we are to present God acceptable offerings, we should seek to do the right thing for the right reason and with the right attitude.Sometimes we do the right thing from a sense of duty. We know it needs to be done but we would rather not. These are the moments in which we need to heed Jesus' words. Pay attention to our attitudes and seek to give God our best. It is not hard to serve God when it's easy. It is more noble and praiseworthy to serve God with a good heart, when we are tired, when it costs us something, and when the service is difficult.The difference between Abel's acceptable sacrifice and Cain's rejected one was certainly attitude. Hebrews says that it was Abel's faith that made his offering acceptable. Let's work this week to do the right thing with a good heart, and thus give our best to God.
