Jackson examines the underlying motivations behind why people attend church, including self-interest, personal gain, recognition, and a hope of heaven. (Social Issues)
A Pew Warmer is someone who attends church regularly, gets their praise and worship on every Sunday, but lives a life of sin Monday through Saturday. Some of them even call themselves Christians. This book shows the drama filled life of five individuals, Dexter, Deon & Jasmine, Jacqueline and Melanie. Dexter loves going to church to find women to play around with temporarily . Deon & Jasmine look good at church and in public, but there's all kinds of hell going on in private. Jacqueline has a heart of stone and will knock you upside the head with it. And Melanie, well she may be drunk when she steps inside the church, but she never misses a Sunday, hangover and all. They attend church practically every Sunday, but not to hear or apply the word of God to their lives, but for no other reason then to keep the pews warm.
On the night of Matt Fleming’s twenty-first birthday, his friends take him to New Orleans and arrange a date with a prostitute. The night ends in drunken violence, and the prostitute is beaten and left for dead. After thirty years of addiction, Matt finally finds recovery and freedom in a faith-based treatment program. However, even though his old life seems to be behind him, as he has adventure after adventure traveling the country on God’s seek-and-save missions, the incident from his twenty-first birthday proves to be a cause of constant anxiety and regret. Did the prostitute die? Will he one day be arrested and tried for murder? Should he turn himself in and face the consequences? Why is God silent when it comes to the heartrending remorse he carries for the incident? Matt’s travels eventually lead him back to New Orleans, where a special seek-and-save mission demonstrates that his heavenly father has been listening all along. However, this mission may prove to be his last. Even though No Road for Cowards is a novel, it is filled with timeless truths about addiction, recovery, and redemption. It is a story of hope and restoration for those suffering from addiction as well as those who love them. Read it, and be encouraged.
The NIV Application Commentary helps you communicate and apply biblical text effectively in today's context. The book of Joshua recounts major transitions in the lives of God's chosen people and speaks of subjects that are difficult to comprehend, such as war and ethnic cleansing. Robert Hubbard navigates through these chapters, probing beneath the surface of the biblical text to apply the timeless themes of the book of Joshua to our lives in the twenty-first century. To bring the ancient messages of the Bible into today's context, each passage is treated in three sections: Original Meaning. Concise exegesis to help the reader understand the original meaning of the biblical text in its historical, literary, and cultural context. Bridging Contexts. A bridge between the world of the Bible and the world of today, between the original context and the contemporary context, built by discerning what is timeless in the timely pages of the Bible. Contemporary Significance. This section identifies situations that are comparable to those faced by the original audience and explores personal, cultural, and societal applications of the passage to those situations. The author also alerts the reader to problems they may encounter when seeking to apply the passage and helps them think through the issues involved. This unique, award-winning commentary is the ideal resource for today's preachers, teachers, and serious students of the Bible, giving them the tools, ideas, and insights, they need to communicate God's Word with the same powerful impact it had when it was first written.
If you grew up in the country, you may have once or twice seen a turtle perched atop a fence post. The first thought to cross your mind upon seeing this unusual sight would probably be that the turtle did not get on top of that fence post by itself; it had help. This analogy is meant to represent just that - something accomplished that would not normally be possible without the assistance of someone or something more capable. That is the message of this book: how to accomplish more with less; how to go higher financially (and in other areas of life) than your talents and abilities would otherwise take you; how to position yourself to be propelled by God Himself to heights you may have never thought possible; and why God wants to prosper the people who attend their ears to His methods. Andrew G. Robbins has been in different facets of ministry since 1993, mostly in the areas of worship and teaching. An active writer, Mr. Robbins has authored numerous books, articles, and blogs. For the last two decades he has been a successful businessman and entrepreneur. In January 2010, Andrew and his wife, Donna, launched Blessed Life Fellowship (www.BlessedLifeFellowship.org), a church and ministry devoted to teaching God's people about the goodness of God and His Kingdom principles for living and experiencing God's abundance. Andrew and Donna reside in central Indiana and have three children - Hannah, Luke, and Drew.
Why do some believers experience genuine, life-changing, personal revival while others don't? In The God Catchers, the sequel to the phenomenal The God Chasers, Tommy explains the difference: "God in a sense plays hide and seek. But like a loving parent, He always makes sure He can be found by those who take the time to look." Simply put, those who earnestly seek God rather than wait for something to happen find Him. Full of biblical and contemporary accounts of believers who chased God and caught Him, The God Catchers will motivate readers to discover the joy of finding God and having a loving relationship with Him.
Prayer releases the atmosphere of heaven into the earth.If prayer can alter the course of history and reshape the world, then why don’t believers pray more? Prophetic prayer is so much deeper than a religious exercise; it is actually the supernatural catalyst that enables us to experience the power and presence of God in every area of our lives. If believers only knew the power of prophetic prayer, they wouldn’t struggle to bend the knee. Through biblical study and practical questions,The Power of Prophetic Prayer will take readers on a spiritual discovery of the unique words, convictions, and declarations God is longing to hear from each one of His followers. “We are not victims! God hasn’t called us to sit back and watch life happen. Instead, He has called us to partner with the Holy Spirit in prophetic prayer.”

For decades, or maybe centuries, the Church has ignored some of the most crucial truths found in God's word. The author has been shown these truths over a long period of time, resulting in an incredible transformation of his life. For any person who is serious about his/her walk with Christ, these truths are absolutely essential in order to grow in grace and the knowledge of the truth. The author's lament is, 'If only I had been taught these truths decades ago, I may well have enjoyed life to the fullest, and experienced the joy of His salvation many years ago.' Sadly he is close to his life's expected time span and will not have the time to enjoy such a life for very long. But his desire is that many people who believe they are Christians will read this book with hungry, open hearts, ready to hear from God, accept the truth, be set free, and experience the joy of His salvation far earlier in life than the author. The United States of America is spiritually sick, in desperate need of healing. The author offers some very wise advice to the Church in America which would change the direction of this nation if accepted and applied to the lives of those who profess to know Christ. The teaching found in this book is not the author's opinion, but rather the exposition of scripture in a clear and concise manner. He believes that his doctrinal stance, ideology or opinions are worth nothing, so he simply and clearly brings to light the teaching of God's word, much of which has been ignored for far too long.
The parable in Luke 15:17 can be seen from three angles. The dilemma of the shepherd is whether or not to leave the ninety-nine and go in search of the one lost sheep. It may not make sense economically and rationally, but he leaves them anyway and begins his search. The poor sheep has wandered away and is lostnot hopelessly so, but lost. The sheep does have hope, and it rests with the shepherd whose love for her is so vast and so relentless that he wont rest until he finds the sheep. And then theres the ninety-nine. Their attitude and behavior toward the lost sheep is paramount in the story. Will they join in the search? Will they celebrate with the shepherd once the sheep is returned? Or will they criticize and whine about how the shepherd spends all his time searching for the one who is lost? The One explores the foundational nature of this parable and how important its implications are for the church and ones own walk with the Lord. The value that God places on the one is life-changing for those who come to understand it. An intense and powerful vision shared through the lens of author Ronny Russells personal and professional spiritual journey. Authenticity is found in every paragraph that rings with empowering truth, inspiration, and encouragement for the one. I have watched Ronnys journey for decades and found his passion to be deep, contagious, and transformational for the one and the remnant who seek meaning in our fast-paced world filled with churches that often miss the one to preserve the institution. Ronny serves Christ above all and finds hope in Gods calling and gifting as a member of the body of Christ. Truly a worthy and engaging read!
