|  | | IMPACT - NOW (I Must Put Away Childish Things - No Other Way)
With 1 Corinthians 13:11 as a starting point, this book establishes a standard process within a biblical context for helping the transition from youth to adulthood. It is especially designed to help parents and young men who are struggling and need to see and face the reality of growing up. It encourages young men to step up, put away childish things, take responsibility for their lives, and understand God's definition of manhood.
What is Abandonment?
Something dreadfully subtle has happened to us during the last half century, and this time we did it to ourselves. You see, when I was young, you could always trust your parents. However, from my generation on, this assurance has steadily grown weaker. I recall the decline in the attention my generation gave to children. We became too busy when we should have been bonding with our children in their early years. We were preoccupied and we pushed them away. Can you imagine how our babies must have felt?
When they were babies, it was pacifiers to keep them q | |  | | The Kingdom of God Passport
Salvation brings you to your rightful place in god. You are then in a place to do exactly what you were created to do. This is your real purpose in life. Jesus saved you to allow you to become a true Worshipper of the Father.
John 4:23-24; But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
In Mark 16:15 -18, Jesus tells His disciples to go out into the world and preach the gospel. This call to be witnesses of the Gospel of Jesus continues to all believers today. However, in order to leave our borders and become witnesses to other nations, we must have a passport. The Kingdom of God Passport serves as a practical reminder for all believers to get busy, get out, and witness as commanded. It also contains valuable information to help the believer in his/her witness. Because believers are citizens of another kingdom, we should carry our Kingdom of God Passport at all times.
br | |  | | The Money Tree - Good & Evil Roots
Money can be a blessing or a challenge to our faith. Having wealth, (an abundance of money) presents a subtle temptation to our real faith in God. Underneath wealth is a dependency, which opens the door to fear and greed. On the other hand, poverty (a shortage of money) comes with serious problems too. Inside poverty is a dangerous illusion about money, which breeds covetousness. In each case, the core adversary is the “love of money”.
Money is eating away at the core of our Christian, moral and American values. It seems that many are succumbing to the money trap. The poor gets poorer while the rich gets greedier. Both ends lead to the love of money. You cannot serve both God and money. The love of money is the root of all evil. God's Word provides an answer. This is the core of the message presented by Pastor Thornton Bell in his thoughtful treatise, The Money Tree - Good and Evil Roots. Using current events, biblical history and specific scripture, Pastor Bell explains the dilemma facing America and some of today's biggest | |  | | Zipporah (Secrets from the Backside of the Desert - Guide for Gifted Women
This book explores Zipporah (Moses' Ethiopian, Black, Midianite wife who was the daughter of Jethro [Raguel]and the sister of Hobab) as the heroine who God chose to assist Moses' efforts to lead his people from Egypt to the promise land. Few realize that she actually saved Moses' life. The book points to many other actions of women such as Abraham's wife, Keturah, where God has chosen Black women to step up to and meet the challenges in accomplishing His will. It shows that although God created races and kindred, He also expects us to look beyond the differences, reach for the gifts that each has to offer and work in love and unity on one accord.
It seems we no longer look beneath the surface of a person’s skin anymore, seemingly unable to get beyond the wrappings, ribbons, and box to see the gifts within each person. Instead of letting love teach us to see, we are letting hate blind us to the potentials and possibilities each one of our brothers and sisters in humanity has to offer, if only we ware willing to open our hearts and minds and receive.
