Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - There is a lot at stake as it pertains to correctly understanding and teaching God's call to repent.

As you read this book, you'll consider questions such as:Who does the Bible say God is What does God think of you What is the source of our understanding between right and wrong How can we incorporate the majesty of the Creator into daily life Other topics include how we take for granted the relationship God has offered us, why we should embrace a posture of humility, and the meaning of true repentance.The Way Back walks readers through a progression that illuminates why true, biblical repentance is at the heart of what it means to walk with God.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - As a lifetime churchgoer, author Mary E. Smith has seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. Although she's seen mostly God-honoring things, Removing the Dirt in the Church is not about those good, God-honoring things. It's about some things that need to change. It shows areas where we, as God's church, can do better. This is not a church-bashing book. It's a church-loving book for both the individual and the corporate level. Removing the Dirt in the Church offers a timely resource for those who desire to know and please God. Using Biblical characters, godly wisdom, and personal experience, Smith challenges us to see the dirt within our own hearts so we can humbly surrender to the heavenly father for cleansing.
