Download or read book God s Love Affair with the Guilty written by J. W. Lehman and published by Health Ministry Foundation, Incorporated. This book was released on 2014-05-30 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guilt is a major problem in the world today, even among Christians. Much guilt is the result of a misunderstanding of God's true character of love. In this world, we come to expect punishment when we do wrong things. In order to avoid punishment and guilt from unacceptable behavior, many people will lie, excuse, deny, and fall victim to depression. This book reveals to those bearing a heavy burden of guilt a loving Savior who knew the fallen condition of mankind before He came to this earth to lay down His life as aransom for guilty sinners. If we view the law of God simply as a set of rules that, if broken, will condemn us in the judgment, we easily fall into a form of guilt that can leave us devastated. This book presents the law of God in a light that draws the guilty to a God who loves sinners so much that He gave us the Ten Commandments, not as something restrictive, but as wedding vows between Himself and His bride-the church. We can only remain on a continuous guilt trip if we do not understand thatChrist has already taken our sins and guilt upon Himself when He died on the cross. The penalty for our sins has been exhausted by His death, burial, and resurrection. God does not treat weak, erring sinners as they deserve, but with a grace that is greater than all our sins."

A tenth generation descendant of a royal African Tribe and the Jamieson’s leading genealogy sleuth, Cameron is accustomed to being the brains of a close-knit family. He’s multi-degreed from MIT in Boston, jaw-dropping fine, and financially secure. In his mind, Cameron’s got it all.

One by one, Cameron witnesses the men in his family submit to repentance and righteous living. He is absolutely determined not to go down without a fight.

Book excerpt: Do you long for something more in your relationship with God? The good news is that “something more” does not mean “doing more.” God is not waiting for you to get your spiritual life “right.” He wants to be with you right where you are. The real question is not “What does God want from you?” but “What does God want for you?” Sharon Jaynes understands what it’s like to have a “glory ache”—a longing to experience God’s presence on a daily basis. She also knows how easily working for God can get in the way of intimacy with God. And she’s discovered that we tend to make our faith journey much too hard. In A Sudden Glory, Sharon uses Scripture and story to help you erase the line between your “spiritual life” and your “daily life” as you enter the sanctuary of God’s presence even in the middle of your busy, messy day. Here you will find your eyes opened to moments of sudden glory in which the Creator assures you of His love as you live and move and have your being in Him. Here you will discover true freedom—the freedom of experiencing God in a deeper and more intimate way than ever before. Includes Bible study and discussion guide.
Download or read book Man Has Put God on Trial and Found Him Guilty written by E. C. Moses Jr and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-05-04 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people are taught that calamities of nature are caused by God. There are businesses that exist to replace property deemed destroyed by an act of God. We feel that loved ones are taken by God through some disease or tragedy before we are ready for them to go. We learn growing up that God controls everything about our lives and we are to fear Him. We are told that if we dont straighten up and act correctly, God will punish us. But without God and His moral righteousness, how can we know what is the correct manner of conducting our lives? None of these statements made, that God is to blame, are true and there is proof that He really does love us more than we can imagine and He wants to give us every good thing that we desire. Since the fall of Adam from grace, God the Father has been executing His plan to redeem us back to a right relationship with Him. His desire is for us to experience His pure, unending and unconditional love. The decision to take part in that love is found in our free will to make up our own minds. He honors that because He wants us to respond freely to His love. Like presenting evidence in court to defend the accused, this book determines to show His innocence of guilt.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I used to be a lesbian.” In Gay Girl, Good God, author Jackie Hill Perry shares her own story, offering practical tools that helped her in the process of finding wholeness. Jackie grew up fatherless and experienced gender confusion. She embraced masculinity and homosexuality with every fiber of her being. She knew that Christians had a lot to say about all of the above. But was she supposed to change herself? How was she supposed to stop loving women, when homosexuality felt more natural to her than heterosexuality ever could? At age nineteen, Jackie came face-to-face with what it meant to be made new. And not in a church, or through contact with Christians. God broke in and turned her heart toward Him right in her own bedroom in light of His gospel. Read in order to understand. Read in order to hope. Or read in order, like Jackie, to be made new.
