Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'End Time Prophecy' focuses on the core messages of the books of Daniel and Revelation, which are enshrined in the Holy Bible. Although they were written hundreds of years apart, these two books chronicle events that should characterize socio-political, economic and religious life on this planet-earth. While history proves that several of the prophetic messages in both books have already been fulfilled, we are all witnesses of the current world order that synchronizes with some of these revelations. This gives credence to the authenticity of the books of Daniel and Revelation so that there is every reason to believe that the future of our world is already determined and encoded in these prophecies. In 'End Time Prophecy' Dr. Fred Opoku-Gyimah the author, unveils the hidden truths behind these prophetic scriptures that often pose a challenge to Christians as well as Bible Scholars alike. He carefully analyses each of these prophecies by invoking relevant scriptural principles as well as significant historical and current affairs to bring clarity to the reader. Rev.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In this book we will be looking mostly at the institutional church, the relationship that believers have with it and its compatibility with the Kingdom of God. We will be asking if, over the past 1700 years, the traditions of men have gradually usurped the authority of the Bible. We will try to identify some of Satan's tactics for deceiving believers, and ask if indeed much of what passes as the Christian Church is in fact a subtle counterfeit engineered by the Prince of Lies. 'I have just read your book on my computer and I am breathing air that is purer and fresher than it has been in a long time. Praise God for your fearless approach to this very important topic. Jesus is indeed coming back for a spotless Church. May God bless you as you seek to shed light on these dormant truths! Truly we are witnessing the reformation of the Church in our generation' Ray H.

In a sincere, street smart and 'real' manner Dr. Ralph P. Kerr, a retired public school administrator identifies many of the 'enemies' of public education.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - If you read but one book this year, see that to it that this is it. For 2000 years the Christian Church has debated the relationship between predestination and a freed will. It is quite possible that this small book will end the debate. You will be humbled and overwhelmed by the greatness of God's sovereignty as well as energized and motivated by our freedom. It is in understanding what God has done and is doing, as well as our part in His-Story, that we find our greatest peace and our greatest success. Read this book. Hi. I'm Phil Mathis. I'm 48, and I live in Colorado Springs with my wife, Dana. We've been quite happily married since 1985 and have four kids and two dogs. Actually they are no longer kids: our oldest is 20 and the others range in age to 13. After graduating from ORU and Fuller Seminary I 'planted' 3 new churches and served as a pastor for 24 years. I also learned how to sell and placed in the top 1% of the worldwide insurance industry for 5 years in a row. There's no way to write this without sounding like I'm bragging, but since I want you to open the book and learn all about success in life they told me I had to say some of why you should listen to me.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book is about Jesus and His love for His children. It attempts to look at who we are, and how Christ relates to us in spite of who we are. Using the proper light of Scripture to view and expose ourselves, we are then enabled to see the glorious nature of His unconditional love for us. Thomas Watson rightly said, 'Till sin be bitter, Christ will not be sweet.' My desire is that each of us would expand our view of Christ's love for us. We have but a partial view of His incredible love, and so each of us needs to grow in our knowledge of it. This will be an eternal endeavor, and so I can think of very little that is more exciting than striving together to grow in the knowledge of the love of Christ. 'Nothing binds me to my Lord like a strong belief in His changeless love.' - C.H. Spurgeon 'We are never nearer Christ than when we find ourselves lost in a holy amazement at His unspeakable love.' - John Owen 'Our Lord God must be a pious man to be able to love rascals.' - Martin Luther 'He loved us not because we are lovable, but because He is love.' - C.S.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Churches of Christ and Christian Churches comprise two of the principle fellowships to evolve from the American Restoration Movement-a movement fueled by the desire to abolish denominational borders and boundaries that have long divided the Christian community in hopes of building a brotherhood inclusive of all genuine followers of Jesus Christ. Nearly two centuries later, however, many within these two fellowships have abandoned the work of restoration and the hope of a united Christian fellowship. In Restoring the Restoration Movement, authors N.R. Kehn and Scott Bayles, with clever insight and a conversational tone, take a look 'under the hood' at many of the doctrines that have divided the Churches of Christ and Christian Churches from each other and from mainstream evangelical Christianity in general-all in hopes of returning to the on-going work of restoration and to the original ideals of the Restoration Movement and true Biblical Christianity. N.R. Kehn has been a longtime member of Churches of Christ.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'The Sin That Will Keep Many Church Members Out of Heaven' gives some often overlooked insights into the sin Jesus said in Matthew at the end of the Sermon on the Mount will keep many praying church members and great church workers out of heaven. This sin is the core sin for which Jesus died and is very often overlooked or lightly regarded as just another sin or seen simply as gross sin. This sin drives every other sin that can be found in man. It is the mother and father of all sins and often, according to Jesus, remains in the lives of many who have united with the church and are very active in the works and ministries of the church. This sin is very subtle and is the most devastating sin of all because it can be very easily overlooked. William A.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The church today is in the midst of an identity crisis. Many members of the body of Christ do not yet know who they really are. Heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, they nevertheless live defeated lives as spiritual paupers, unaware of their legacy: to be born in His image and birthed in His likeness. God's desire is to mold each of His children into masterpieces of His grace, to transform them into the likeness of His Son. A new heart is the key to this transformation. Our hearts must be pure and perfect if we hope to see God, and we receive a new heart only by putting on Christ and allowing Him to transform us into new creatures in His likeness. Our destiny as believers is to be like Him, but we must be totally committed to Him in our heart.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Washed by Fire is the third part of a 4-part bibliotherapy series. It follows Prelude to Holy Ghost Fire, and In the Fire. It is a true story of this Christian woman's struggle to overcome her past through the blood of the lamb of Jesus Christ, to stand forgiven by Him and to worship the LORD Jesus Christ alone. After being deluded into thinking that she had to serve the god of Molech through abortion as a newborn church member in her second marriage, she found herself in the grip of Satan. She had to fight with all her might to stop serving the god of Baal Peor (pornography and domestic violence). The God of the Bible, the LORD Jesus Christ, seemed so far away. She could proclaim Him to others, but struggled to walk with Him herself. Not knowing the God of the scriptures, for years she served religious people who claimed to be Christians. When the blinders fell off her eyes and she 'woke up,' she found that Jesus Christ really did love her, that Jesus Christ really did accept her back to the fold. She embraced her healing journey. Stopping to serve the god of experience and feelings and those who manipulated her was a fight. Satan doesn't let go of his prizes easily. The losses in this life of hers have been tremendous. But she has found Christ. It is a story of hope, faith and salvation. Since the writing of this book, her beloved cat, Queen Esther Ebbie Puff Tail has passed away from cancer. Obadiah remains with her. Patricia has begun the Interphase One diet by Doug Kaufman, which is a no grains, sugar or caffeine diet as part of her healing journey.

Yet for twenty faithful years God has used the fledgling ministry of Restoration Academy in Fairfield, Alabama to ADDRESS THE URBAN CRISIS.
