Download or read book Kill the Noise written by Ryan Ries and published by Faithwords. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It doesn't matter who you are or what you've done, God wants a relationship with you. When we turn to the Lord, He is there waiting to forgive us and give us a purpose for our lives. Unfortunately, teens and adults are surrounded by so much noise from social media, the entertainment industry, drugs, pornography, the occult, bullying, and social expectations that it is nearly impossible to hear the truth of a God who will take them as they are. This book is written to help this generation kill that noise, so that teens and adults can hear the voice of God telling them they are loved, they are wanted, and they are His. Ryan Ries is living proof of this truth. Growing up in Los Angeles, California as the son of a mega-church pastor, but surrounded by the music, skate, and snowboard industries, Ryan felt a tug-of-war between the church and the world. It was in the skate and music culture that he found his passion and his identity. So he walked away from God and dove head first into the world, losing his way in alcohol, drugs, and sex, which lead to anxiety, brokenness, and emptiness. Kill the Noise is his story about finding God in the messiness of life, even though it seemed impossible, and will help readers find Him too.
Download or read book The Reason written by Lacey Sturm and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The day Lacey Sturm planned to kill herself was the day her grandmother forced her to go to church, a place Lacey thought was filled with hypocrites, fakers, and simpletons. The screaming match she had with her grandmother was the reason she went to church. What she found there was the Reason she is alive today. With raw vulnerability, this hard rock princess tells her own story of physical abuse, drug use, suicide attempts, and more--and her ultimate salvation. She asks the hard questions so many young people are asking--Why am I here? Why am I empty? Why should I go on living?--showing readers that beyond the temporary highs and the soul-crushing lows there is a reason they exist and a purpose for their lives. She not only gives readers a peek down the rocky path that led her to become a vocalist in a popular hardcore band, but she shows them that the same God is guiding their steps today.
Download or read book With My Eyes Wide Open written by Brian "Head" Welch and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2016-05-17 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He left KoRn to help himself. He went back to help others. And along the way, he nearly lost everything. A life-changing spiritual awakening freed Brian “Head” Welch from a stranglehold of drugs and alcohol and prompted him to leave the highly successful nu-metal band KoRn in 2005. What followed was a decade-long trial by fire, from the perils of fathering a teen lost in depression and self-mutilation to the harsh realities of playing solo and surviving the shattering betrayal of a trusted friend. In this intensely inspiring redemption saga, perhaps most inspiring is Brian’s radical decision to rejoin KoRn and reconcile with the tribe of people he once considered family in the metal music scene. Brian returned to his musical roots with a clear head and a devoted heart. Though his story is wild, hilarious, and deeply poignant, the message is simple: God will love you into the freedom of being yourself, as long as you keep the relationship going and never, ever quit.

Download or read book A Pastor s Story written by Pastor Dave and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-01-23 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes an ordinary man, husband, coach, or restaurant owner suddenly wake up one morning and wonder about God. David Stevens was just a regular guy making a living and providing for his wife and family and who loved to spend his weekends with friends having drinks, dancing, and sleeping in on Sunday morning. Dave figured he had plenty of time left to get things right, until the night he had the dream that made him realize that his life could end at any moment before he got things right with God. Daves search brought him to the realization that his life was not about Dave, but it was about God. Dave discovered that God had not just a plan for him but a calling on Daves life to go and tell people about the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Dave went from just an ordinary man to an extraordinary man of God who preaches and teaches about the salvation we can all receive through Jesus Christ. Through the incredible teachings of Christ in the Bible and the testimonies of other godly men, Daves life was transformed from a man centered on what the world said was acceptable to a man who desired on what God said was acceptable. He met men and women whose lives had been changed because of their interaction with Christ through dreams, through life experiences, or through the revelation of Christ. Pastor Dave, as he is now known, shares his journey of coming to Christ through his own experience of meeting the Savior. As he was mentored by other men of God, Pastor Dave began to see the urgent need to share the love, mercy, and grace of surrendering ones life to Christ and sharing that message with his friends and family and finally to others. Minister Bonetta J. Hutson

Download or read book The Complete Works of C H Spurgeon Volume 26 written by Spurgeon, Charles H. and published by Delmarva Publications, Inc.. This book was released on with total page 1015 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 26 Sermons 1511-1574 Charles Spurgeon (19 June 1834 – 31 January 1892) is one of the church’s most famous preachers and Christianity’s foremost prolific writers. Called the “Prince of Preachers,” he was one of England's most notable ministers for most of the second half of the nineteenth century, and he still remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations today. His sermons have spread all over the world, and his many printed works have been cherished classics for decades. In his lifetime, Spurgeon preached to more than 10 million people, often up to ten times each week. He was the pastor of the congregation of the New Park Street Chapel (later the Metropolitan Tabernacle) in London for 38 years. He was an inexhaustible author of various kinds of works including sermons, commentaries, an autobiography, as well as books on prayer, devotionals, magazines, poetry, hymns and more. Spurgeon was known to produce powerful sermons of penetrating thought and divine inspiration, and his oratory and writing skills held his audiences spellbound. Many Christians have discovered Spurgeon's messages to be among the best in Christian literature. Edward Walford wrote in Old and New London: Volume 6 (1878) quoting an article from the Times regarding one of Spurgeon’s meetings at Surrey: “Fancy a congregation consisting of 10,000 souls, streaming into the hall, mounting the galleries, humming, buzzing, and swarming—a mighty hive of bees—eager to secure at first the best places, and, at last, any place at all. After waiting more than half an hour—for if you wish to have a seat you must be there at least that space of time in advance—Mr. Spurgeon ascended his tribune. To the hum, and rush, and trampling of men, succeeded a low, concentrated thrill and murmur of devotion, which seemed to run at once, like an electric current, through the breast of every one present, and by this magnetic chain the preacher held us fast bound for about two hours. It is not my purpose to give a summary of his discourse. It is enough to say of his voice, that its power and volume are sufficient to reach every one in that vast assembly; of his language, that it is neither high-flown nor homely; of his style, that it is at times familiar, at times declamatory, but always happy, and often eloquent; of his doctrine, that neither the 'Calvinist' nor the 'Baptist' appears in the forefront of the battle which is waged by Mr. Spurgeon with relentless animosity, and with Gospel weapons, against irreligion, cant, hypocrisy, pride, and those secret bosom-sins which so easily beset a man in daily life; and to sum up all in a word, it is enough to say of the man himself, that he impresses you with a perfect conviction of his sincerity.” More than a hundred years after his death, Charles Spurgeon’s legacy continues to effectively inspire the church around the world. For this reason, Delmarva Publications has chosen to publish the complete works of Charles Spurgeon.

Introduction to Transgender Studies features: -A welcoming approach that creates a safe space for a wide range of students, from those who have never thought about gender issues to those who identify as transgender, trans, nonbinary, agender, and/or gender expansive. -Writings from the Community essays that relate the chapter theme to the lived experiences of trans and LGB people and allies from different parts of the world. -Key concepts, film and media suggestions, topics for discussion, activities, and ideas for writing and research to engage students and serve as a review at exam time. -Instructors’ resources that will be available that include key teaching points with discussion questions, activities, research projects, tips for using the media suggestions, PowerPoint presentations, and sample syllabi for various course configurations. Intended for introductory transgender, LGBTQ+, or gender studies courses through upper-level electives related to the expanding field of transgender studies, this text has been successfully class-tested in community colleges and public and private colleges and universities.
Download or read book The Second Coming of Jesus Think Again written by William H. Hogue and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overarching theme of this book is that the Second Coming of Jesus happened in AD 72, and that therefore Jesus is not coming again to rapture the church. the book lays out a thorough exploration in support of this theme. Daniel's prophecies are foundational, especially his prophecy of the Seventy Weeks in Daniel 9:24-27 and his prophecy of four sequential Fertile-Crescent, Mediterranean empires (see Daniel 7). the Fourth Empire, or the Roman Empire, is the key to understanding my theme, with stress on the meaning of the horns on the head of the Fourth Beast (see Daniel 7:7-8). As proof of my theme, I use the biblical code of "two or three witnesses" (see, e.g., Deuteronomy 19:15, Matthew 18:16, John 8:17, and 1 John 5:8). the three witnesses I give are Daniel, Jesus, and the collective apostles--all of whom taught and agreed that Jesus's Second Coming would take place before Jesus's generation passed away (Matthew 24:34). Furthermore, I show how the epistles of the New Testament reflect this theme by citing scores of passages from them for my readers to consider. Finally, in chapter 5 of the book and in five appendixes, I show how the Book of Revelation, aptly interpreted, fully agrees with this theme.

Book excerpt: Kass is truly on the brink of madness now; she can feel it taking control. She screams as loud as she possibly can, “What do you want from me?” Something touches her ankle, and she shrieks and pulls her leg away. She looks down, or at least what she feels is down. She sees her feet dangling in the black nothingness, and that rush of vertigo hits her once again. She can’t see anything except her own extremities. She is touched again, this time on her right arm. Again, she can see nothing. She feels hot breath on her nape. Her nostrils are infiltrated with that pungent odor of dead, rotting meat. It is the smell of the thing that visited her in that small bedroom in the cabin in the woods. She whirls around—nothing is there. Kass begins to cry out from all the fright that engulfs all her senses. The light above her winks out. Total blackness befalls her. The darkness breathes in, and it breathes out.

Book excerpt: It doesn't matter who you are or what you've done—God wants a relationship with you. Social media, television, video games, drugs, pornography – there is so much noise distracting us from what is important in life that it is nearly impossible to hear God’s truth that He will take you as you are. When we finally kill the noise of the world, we’ll discover in the silence a loving Savior who is waiting to forgive us and offer us a purpose for our lives. Ryan Ries is living proof of this truth.

It was in the skate and music culture that he found his passion and his identity. As a result, he walked away from God and dove head first into the world, losing his way in alcohol, drugs, and sex, which led to anxiety, brokenness, and emptiness.
