Download or read book Who Am I And Who Says I Am Who I Am written by Pastor Albert J. Harris Jr. and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once again, God continues to remind me that my life is a lifetime of untold stories that I must share with the world. It is God who inspires the stories for me to tell to the world. As God was preparing my mind to write this story, I personally had experience many of the things that I talk about in this book. There is one thing that I have accepted as I wrote this book, and that is, "For in God we live, and move, and have our being" (Acts 17:28). I'm just saying that God is the source of our very existence. This is why, I practice believing "that I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me" (Phil. 4:13). I want you to know that what God does for one person, he can do the same for you. That is the purpose of this book: to give hope to those who are hopeless and helpless. I believe that we need to get to know ourselves because we don't know ourselves as well as we think we do. But I know someone who knows all of us better than we know ourselves (Jer. 1:5). Let me encourage and inspire someone that the one who knows you better that you know yourselves is Jesus. He also has your best interest at heart. I recommend that we consider submitting, and surrendering to him because he is the life that we've all been searching for (John 1:1–14).So it is, my brothers and my sisters, when you come to know who Jesus is, you will also come to know who you are. When God made you, he made the best you there is. So it is up to you not to lose hope nor your self-esteem, but you ought to continue your pursuit of being the best that you can be with God's help. Jesus gives this hope to all those who will believe and trust him. In John 10:10b, Jesus says, "I come that you have life, and have life more abundantly." My brothers and my sisters, it is my prayer that you be the best that you can be with the resources that God provides, for all of us. Every day that you wake up, it is another for improvement in your life. Please don't let life's opportunities pass you by, but start taking advantage of every opportunity that comes your way because life is too short to pass it up.Stop underestimating your worth. God said that everything that he made was good and very good that includes you and me, amen (Gen. 1:31).With much love, I send these pages of my life out into the world with the hope that someone's life will be the better. Also, I want to remind someone that their life also is a book, whether it's open are closed, it can be shared with the world. It's a wonderful thing to know that we reap what we sow. In other words, what goes around comes around. Amen. When we invest in others, we also invest in ourselves (Gal. 6:7–8).May God always bless and keep you.
Download or read book But Who Do You Say That I Am written by William Stewart Whittemore and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009-08 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stewart Whittemore asks the most penetrating question of our age. "Who is this Jesus whom we serve?" "Who do you say that He is?" Stu brings a fresh perspective of Jesus, the Messiah in the Hebrew Scriptures, the Lord of Hosts, the prophetic teacher who met the disciples on the Road to Emmaus, and whose presence extends before and beyond the order of Melchizedek. I guarantee you will be blessed by reading "But who do you say that I am?" Chaplain Sandi Richard', M.Div., BCC The Bible just did not make sense to me! So I was surprised when Stewart Whittemore sent me a draft copy of (his) latest book and asked me to review and edit his writings. I began the task, looking at grammar, spelling and sentence structure. Soon, I comprehended a clear view into God's story and how life in the Old Testament foretold future events that would take place in the New Testament, at the coming of His Son, Jesus of Nazareth. Stewart's clear writing with biblical references, comparing the old and new testaments, allowed me to finally gain an understanding and appreciation into the meaning, content and truth in God's Holy Bible: It is "HIS Story" to us, HIS children! Bette Jo Martinoli Ultimately, we must all decide who the Christ is, and that decision will set the course of our lives for all eternity. Join Stewart in a walk through God's ancient word to his chosen people. Your heart will burn at revelations of His work to save those who believe in the One and Only God and His Son whom he would send. Please, don't miss this intimate offer to walk, learn, and choose life. Dave Wright, author of "Not Enough Tears."
Download or read book Echoes of a Prophet written by Gary T. Manning Jr. and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2004-12-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Echoes of a Prophet examines intertextual connections to Ezekiel found in John and in Second Temple literature. The Dead Sea Scrolls contain many allusions to a number of Ezekiel's oracles, while other Second Temple works refer to only a few of Ezekiel's oracles, and those only rarely. In each case, Manning examines the evidence for the presence of the allusions, studies the implied interpretational methods, and comments on the function of the allusion in advancing the author's ideas. He also analyzes John's allusions to Ezekiel: the good shepherd, the vine, the opened heavens, imagery from the "dry bones" vision, and water symbolism. He observes that John has a few unique tendencies: he alludes to all five of Ezekiel's "oracles of hope" and primarily uses that imagery to describe the giving of the Holy Spirit and new life through Jesus.
Download or read book The Great I Am written by Ronald J. Lavin and published by CSS Publishing. This book was released on 1995 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who is Jesus Christ? These fourteen chapters answer that question in his own words: I AM the light of the world... I AM the way, the truth and the life... I AM the Good Shepherd... I AM the alpha and the omega... Why a book on the I AM sayings of Jesus? Because so much of our religious emphasis today focuses on "feeling more fulfilled..." or "improving our relationships with others." While these are important and have their place in our discussions, this book puts the emphasis on the place of God in our lives. The questions are practical: What shall I believe? What shall I do? And so Lavin writes for the people in the pews as well as for their pastors. When Ron Lavin preaches it is close to the ground, relevant for the right now, absent of high-sounding theological verbiage, and reveals a big pastor's heart. Read the book for exhilarating ideas for your own preaching, digest the book one chapter at a time to gain a better understanding of what it means to be a follower of Christ in these turbulent, fast changing '90s. Prepare To Be Impressed. Jerry L. Schmalenberger, President Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary Ronald J. Lavin is senior pastor of King of Glory Lutheran Church in Fountain Valley, California: He is an active, dynamic preacher and public speaker, conducting workshops and seminars in the areas of church growth and small group development throughout the western United States. He has served on boards of directors for LCA and ELCA national committees and seminaries. He is well-known for pastoring two congregations that have increased between 1,000 and 2,000 in membership during his tenure. He is the author of ten books (seven published by CSS) and numerous articles.

Download or read book What Does God Say About Me written by Cheryl A. Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2014-10-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee: and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee and I ordained thee..." (Jeremiah 1:5) The Lord declares that before He formed us, He knew us, sanctified us and ordained us to greater destiny. The Lord further decrees that the thoughts He thinks toward us will always have a positive impact on our lives. Yet, we are not experiencing these promises. Rather, we find ourselves living beneath our privilege and accepting defeat. Why? Is it because we have chosen to accept how the world defines us and labels us, instead of proclaiming what God has spoken about us? Does our speech line up and agree with what God says about us? "Our tongue is the pen of a ready writer." (Psalm 45:1) What are our tongues writing? Do we speak defeat or victory? This book has been written to challenge us to find out what God says about us and to apply His Words to our lives. When we speak the promises, proclamation and pronouncements of God into our spirits and out into the atmosphere, we will reach the expected potential that God has preordained for our lives. "Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that precedes out of the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:4)
Download or read book Listen Love Repeat written by Karen Ehman and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our culture is self-obsessed – in our schedules, relationships, and especially online. (Can you say selfie?) But in this near-narcissism, people are less content than in decades past. Why? Because we forgot the joy that comes from putting others first. Doing so requires us to live alert, listening for “heart drops,” hints from those in our lives who need a helping hand or a generous dose of encouragement. Living alert lifts our own spirits, showing us that blessing others blesses us even more. Listen, Love, Repeat offers biblical teaching and suggests doable actions that are simple, heart-tugging, sentimental, even sneaky and hilarious. This message: • Presents scriptural examples of those who lived alert, including Jesus, who noticed those who least expected to be seen. • Explains the role of good works for followers of Christ. They aren’t our ticket to heaven but they are our marching orders on earth. • Gives creative ideas for showing love to friends and family, and suggests practical ways to reach out to the lonely, the marginalized, the outcast, and the odd duck. Additionally, it helps you comfort the grieving, showing what you can do when you don’t know what to say. • Provides inspiration for blessing the “necessary people” in your life, those often-overlooked souls who help you get life done every day, and teaches you how to hug a porcupine by genuinely loving the hard-to-love. As we scatter love, we create a safe space where we can openly share the gospel. We get to see lives changed right before our eyes. Most importantly, Listen, Love, Repeat will enable you to live a life that is full of kind deeds, not to selfishly shout, “Hey! Look at me!” but to humbly implore, “Will you look at Him?”

Download or read book Cold Case Christianity written by J. Warner Wallace and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am who You say I am is a short book written to give inspiration to the youth. It talks about how we subscribe to the set of standards imposed upon us by modern societies. This is a time when challenges are pressing, and the youth frequently find themselves trapped in microcosms of confusion. With all of these in consideration, this book seeks to provide answers to those who are searching, a map to those who are losing their path, a motivation to those who are having a hard time understanding the wisdom veiled in various things. It encourages a search for an identity; for it is only by knowing the “self” that we can move forward to the right destination. This book has two parts that are divided into four chapters. The first part talks about what the world tells us to be, coupled with the things that make us feel lost and confused. The second part on the other hand, echoes spiritual guidance that carefully leads us to our true identity with the help of biblical verses. It emphasizes the paramount importance of shaping a good character. It influences our holistic view of who we should be. This book has poetic parts. All the chapters are interrelated. The author advises the reader to abide by the sequence. Enjoy the book!
