1 Thing : Developing A Passion For The Beauty Of God

The goal of our creation was not simply that we might be happy, but happy in appreciating God's own glory. Not in reviewing our own accomplishments or in the enjoyment of our own sensual appetites. Not in the development of a healthy self-esteem or in the acquisition of a four-bedroom home with a three-car garage. We were made to glorify God and enjoy him forever. Nothing is more important than understanding this truth. This inspiring work helps us see that beauty has the power to convince the inquiring mind of truth. The soul's contact with God's beauty elicits love and forges in us a new affection that no earthly power can overcome. Enjoying God in the revelation of his beauty is the solution to our struggle with sin, the catalyst for substantive and lasting change and is the soul's satisfaction, with which no rival pleasure can hope to compete. So what is it about God that when known and seen and experienced empowers the human soul to feel sickened in the presence of sin and satisfied in the divine embrace? That word again: Beauty Apatheism affects not just those outside the church but those inside the church who can't be bothered with their own religion let alone someone else's.

101 Ways To Help People In Need

In 101 Ways to Help People in Need, Steve and Janie Sjogren present practical and creative ways for you and your church to reach out to people with physical, emotional, and relational needs-in your neighborhood, your community, your country, and your world.

12 Steps For The Recovering Pharisee Like Me

You can count on John Fischer for an honest exploration of the Christian life. In 12 Steps for the Recovering Pharisee, he shows us how we continually practice measuring our spirituality by the "outside of the cup." In his passion to be honest with God, Fischer has discovered insights into how to bring God's enabling grace into our lives to help us change.By using compelling examples and his own personal experiences, Fischer shows that it is in our human nature to take pleasure in judging others and in measuring everyone else according to a list of "do's" and "don'ts." We wear masks of adequacy and self-righteousness, attempting to hide our own sinful lives in a shroud of silence. We do not interact honestly with other believers or the outside world and this affects the church profoundly. Fischer says, "Welcome to the club," for the first freedom comes in acknowledging the problem deep inside us. From this step, he leads us through a life-changing set of insights to help us break free from self-righteousness. Using his own struggles as examples, he explores how we need to let God remove our defects of attitude and character. As well, he encourages us to see how righteousness and humility come from the inside and are bestowed by God rather than the result of our own effort. Most of all, Fischer takes us back to the sufficiency and fulfillment of God's grace. It is not an easy journey, but one with eternal rewards.

1st Steps For The New Christian

Following God: First Steps for the New Christian is all about having a firm foundation for our walk with the Lord. This study takes believers through the kinds of topics that will be relevant the rest of their Christian lives. These are the kinds of practical issues that we apply on a consistent, day-in and day-out basis in our relationship with Christ. In John 15:7-8 Jesus said that we could "prove" to be disciples if we abide in Him, His words abide in us, we ask and He answers, we glorify God, and we bear much fruit. Paul said that three things would last: faith, hope and love. Using these two Biblical guidelines, the book covers each of those key areas of the Christian life. For example, two weeks are spent on abiding in Christ. The first week focuses on how to abide, and the second on dealing with sin to get back to abiding. In addressing having "His words abiding in us", one week teaches Bible study methods. This is followed by a lesson on personal devotions, which bridges between "His words abiding in us" and the next topic in Jesus' list - prayer. The goal is that by the time someone finishes this book, they have the practical tools to keep growing and maturing as a Christian.
