No hay manera de tener éxito en la vida sin que haya un patrón o modelo que te guíe. Ya sea que esté hablando en términos de política, deportes, educación, negocios o cualquier otra esfera, encontrará un patrón / modelo que sirve como un mapa o receta para el éxito. No es diferente en el Evangelio. Dios estableció un modelo para la iglesia antes de la creación misma, y ese modelo es Jesucristo Su Hijo unigénito. Cristo ha sido su modelo para la Iglesia de todas las edades, y nuestro único propósito como Iglesia no es sólo hablar de El, sino también reflejarlo. El ingrediente principal necesario para esta tarea tan importante es el Espíritu Santo, que ha sido dado a la Iglesia para formar la mente, el corazón, el carácter, las palabras y las obras de Cristo en nosotros. Ven y tome un viaje en el tiempo, de eternidad a eternidad, a través de las Escrituras mientras leemos, analizamos y absorbemos la vida de Cristo. Este libro no sólo le bendecirá personalmente como creyente, sino que también servirá como guía para el evangelismo y el ministerio de la iglesia, y cualquier otra tarea espiritual que emprenda.

SEVENTY STEPS UPON MOUNT GRACE is an inspired treatise from an adult mind. In it, the author looks back on a journey that has spanned some momentous decades of his life. From a life lived majorly under the tropical sun of Africa, it all started through a sublime one-man one-wife setting as the author relives his parental history and that of his late siblings that were once his co-travelers. Copiously recounted are the adventure of youth, his early education years and the fond memories of Christ's school - a unique institution of learning founded by missionaries from England. At middle age, higher local and foreign educational pursuits combined with work life to launch him towards a career pathway within the Water Resources engineering sector. There were dark clouds that literally hovered around his 'mountains' and inexplicably tampered with the door to glory. Then came Grace. Its ample dose couldn't be lost on the author. This was the springboard he needed to unwrap the story of a blessed life and his hope to humbly give something back to his community.

Reminders are essential aids to our safety. They often support us in being present in the moment. We have several ways of reminding ourselves from the use of a timer or our "to-do lists", or alarms. Reminders are essential reinforcements in how we should treat others - kindness nor patience is never overrated - Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares (Heb. 13:2 KJV).The Bible is a book of hope for people of faith in Jesus. It serves as the most prominent and permanent of reminders that we serve an incredibly awesome God who secured personal salvation for us through the sacrificial offering of His Son Jesus when we were enemies of God. Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our LORD Jesus Christ, 6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly (Rom. 5:1,6 NIV). Scriptural reminders bolster our faith that we serve a risen Savior who loves us and one day we'll live with Him forever. Some trials can lead to spiritual amnesia but - remember; He is also present in our darkest times.Always remember we are His children: Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, Abba, Father (Gal. 4:6); Always remember we are created by Him for good works: For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them (Eph. 2:10); And always remember we are created in His image: So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them (Gen. 1:27).

What do you do when what you see does not look anything like what God said? You might be tempted to give up. Life seldom goes the way that we have planned. Often God gives us a picture or snapshot of what He desires to do with our lives, yet the road to destiny is paved with detours. Living on the Edge takes a look at the life of Joseph and highlights principles and lessons that we can learn on the road to fulfilling God's unique purpose for our lives. As you look at Joseph's journey, you will be encouraged to stay the course, fulfill your purpose, and finish strong.

This is an exceptional piece of literature that begins when he was a small child. He had a good start in life, with a good foundation to grow on, until things became a state of KAOS and turmoil. Struggling to understand what his purpose in life was, his life became a living nightmare. He had no way to understand why he was in a state of abandonment at such a young age, but it was real. He learned to take care of himself and deal with life in a way that would lead him in many directions. Being more street-raised and hardened, he fell into a life of drugs, women, and money. These were now his path to dealing with life and the consequences thereafter. Twists and turns were a new way of life for Scott. He found an escape through music, but it brought him to a heightened state of desire for drugs, women, and money. Stardom was in his grasp, but it was really an apple dangling in front of him. Things in life got harder because of the decisions he made and brought him to a point of becoming an eyesore to the public and legal authorities. The consequences were severe and getting worse; incarceration at many levels was now quickly becoming his lifestyle. He soon found himself with walls that were too high to scale. In Waiting, author Scott Troske writes about his experiences serving time in prison and his journey to Christ, showing how God used him to make a difference behind bars and help bring others to know the Lord.

As you open the first page of this book you will find that my heart is after God and He is the Supreme Source in my life! This devotional is by no means structural and or formed as what society or the world see book writing to be. This is intentional! The reason for this is because I did not go to God with structure and format. I have always approached our Abba Father from the core of my imperfect heart. Pouring out my need and want of Him. Understanding He is the answer to my life and all things in it. My prayer as you read is for the spirit of the Lord behind the prayer to connect to the spirit of the Lord in you drawing you closer to Him. Understanding He desires the truth of our heart no matter how ugly it maybe at times, and no matter what that truth maybe in each moment. He is the God of the great exchange! He alone; is the fixer of all things. These are some moments and prayers I've released to God over the years of my life. Please note that no two days are the same, and through out the day we are praying for different things at different times depending on the flow of the day; what has been presented to us and the challenges and or victories. If I can encourage you on anything, I encourage you to "Rejoice Evermore, pray with out ceasing, in everything give thanks for this is the Will of God in Christ Jesus" "Quench not the spirit, despise not prophesyings, prove all things, hold fast to that which is good. Abstain from all appearances of evil. And the God of peace sanctify you wholly. May you be kept blameless. India Faith She is a single mother of three who has a passion to follow Christ at all cost.

Everyone wants to be loved. From TV shows to songs on the radio to the latest celebrity news of who's dating who, finding true love is always on our minds. As Christians, however, we sometimes struggle in the search for a love that honors God. How do we find the person the Lord has for us, and how will we know when we've found them? Behold the Man! by Viola J. Horton discusses what Christians should consider when seeking God-ordained relationships but ultimately focuses on the One True Love we must seek first and foremost-the Lord. Using the story of the Samaritan woman at the well whose life was transformed when she met Jesus, Viola shows how finding our meaning and purpose in the Lord is the only way to quench the longing and desire in our hearts. And with the Lord's timing and direction, we will meet the person He has for us and will be ready for that new adventure. After all, who knows better about love than the One who is love? This book is a must-read for single Christians who are looking for the right partner for godly marriages. Based on true stories from the Word of God, personal observations, and real-life experiences, Behold the Man! contains biblical wisdom and insightful commentary that will be very valuable to those who desire to be equally yoked. Stop wasting time, good years, and energy pursuing relationships that the Lord does not have for you. Before you can make a love connection, you must make the God connection. It's time to turn to the only One who can fill the void of loneliness inside you. And once He transforms you, your life will never be the same. Hi, I'm Pastor/Prophetess Viola J.

God has a daily plan for His children. Psalm 68:19 KJV says, He "...daily loadeth us with benefits..." Yet, to unravel the benefits for each day, we need a daily manual that we can read and apply, and this is where the Grace Daily Devotional comes in. The Grace Daily Devotional serves as an operational manual for us each day. The wisdom and instructions contained in this devotional are the out-breathing of the Holy Ghost. They are the answers to prayers. Each devotional is inundated with the power of the Holy Ghost to heal the sick, dissolve doubts, and to set you on course for a victorious day. However, to maximize its benefits, you must read it, declare out loud the faith-filled confessions, and walk in the light of wisdom that it delivers.

Love Is the Answer! We need to remember our children are watching what we are doing. They are going to base their future relationships on how we handle ours. Mothers and fathers, we need to love each other first and fill our homes with that love so it surrounds our children and makes them feel safe and secure in that love. Our family members are the ones who will give us the grades on our life's report card. It is how they "grade" us that is important. We do not want to fail when it comes to our family relationships. Our job as parents is to make life explainable to them by example so they can function the right way when they are grown and have their own families and children. That means you need to do things with the proper life rules. Love is the answer. When you learn to love your family as God intended, you will make things run smoothly for everyone around you. My goal is for this book to give you the tools to help you achieve this in your family.

Trust. Humility. Faithfulness. Belief in someone's potential. These are the four essential bricks crucial to growing intimate friendships with people. But there can be more - much more! If we can use these four building bricks in growing intimate friendships with one another, shouldn't we use the same building blocks to grow an intimate friendship with God? This is a question author Tony Gael has asked for many years. Since becoming a Christian at the age of six and with all of the years of spiritually traveling, not to mention the amount of spiritual wrestling, Tony has come to the inescapable belief that yes, we can, and yes, we should. But how? Tony is a self-described Christian adventurer and explorer. He has experienced traversing the high and mighty mountain peaks (oh boy!) and walked through the low and sandy deserts (oh no!). But a Christian needn't experience these things alone. God has not made life in such a way as to go it alone. He has made us experience life through friendships with one another (cool) and with Him (awesome!). So, grab some bricks, some mortar, and a trowel, and let's start building together. Tony is a graduate of Emmaus Bible College and Denver Seminary. He expresses his love for God in poetry, his blog (Trippin with Tony) and in a public speaking ministry, 1U Ministries. He is a grandfather, loves babies (his favorite church ministry, other than teaching, is hanging out in the baby nursery) and Iowa Hawkeye wrestling (the wrestling is more like an addiction).

Deer Stand Revelations is a collection of revelations that God has given me through life events, outdoor excursions and hunting and fishing adventures. Having always had a love for the outdoors, I have spent most of my life working, playing, hunting, fishing, hiking and just spending time outside. That love turned into a passion for God's creation at the moment of my salvation. God began to speak to me when I was in a deer stand or when I was standing beside a body of water with a fishing pole in my hand. God showed me purpose in His creation and taught me lessons through successes and failures afield. Through a gentle whisper in the wind or a beautiful note from a songbird, He gave me hope. In an errant shot or misplaced arrow, He taught me humility. In an amazing sunrise, He sent me back to my childhood and gave meaning to the good and bad things that I have lived and seen. God didn't give me all of this revelation to keep to myself. He called me to share it with the world. Deer Stand Revelations is my answer to that call. My name is Marty Ray Perkins. I was born on July 21, 1961 in Roxboro N.C. I grew up on a small, family owned, tobacco farm. I have always enjoyed hunting, fishing and outdoor adventures. I love to look for Native American artifacts. I am a songwriter and enjoy singing and playing the guitar. Spending time with my family, especially my grandchildren, in the outdoors is my favorite pastime. I teach Sunday School and I am an ordained deacon at my church. Writing Deer Stand Revelations is an answer to God's calling.

Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth" (Genesis 1:26-28). We were created for intimacy, we were created to rule and love with Him. There is more to us than meets the eye. We were meant to live for so much more than we realize. To be able to understand our identity, we need to dig deeper into the beginning. What happened? Where did we come from? We were created in the exact image and likeness of the Ancient of Days. Justin was born in Kuwait several days before Saddam Hussein's invasion in 1990. After escaping to India, they were able to come back to Kuwait a few years later and then moved to the United States after that.

In the process, finished his Bachelors in Christian Studies in Global Ministry at Grand Canyon University.

You will be surprised what you will find there if you join me and learn to Pay Attention. I was an average American living an average life mixed in with an above average appetite for alcohol. Addiction had taken my wife of 24 years and ruined all my hopes and dreams leaving me at the bottom, the very bottom. Then these events cracked the door open to a better way, not knowing what it all meant I took the leap of faith and now I want to share this testimony with you in hopes you will also take the leap and join me.

Being a young Christian, I am constantly reminded that ministerial assignment is not showing and tell adventure. My calling requires training and mentorship in discipleship and leadership. Paul, an Apostle of Christ, recognized that every Timothy must learn the art of becoming a good soldier of Christ. The focus here is to rectify the deceptive mindset prevalent within contemporary Christianity. Young men and women are launching into the vast ocean of ministry life without thorough preparation and consequently making a shipwreck of not only their destiny but also of those who follow in their footsteps. Ministry is not a bed of roses, get rich quick expedition, but a calling fit for a good soldier. God sends us to proclaim liberty to the oppressed and freedom to those in captivity of Satan. A true disciple of Christ is the one whose life's vegetation has been pruned by the cross and mowed clean by training and mentorship of seasoned leaders. It is required that good soldiers of Christ pleases Him who enlisted them. Apostle Paul warned of the consequences of failure to do so. In I Timothy 2:1-4, he reiterated the four cardinal marks of a Good Soldier of Christ. They have been "ENLISTED" as Soldiers of Christ and his kingdom. They must "ENDURE" hardship as a Good Soldier of Christ. They are "ENGAGED" in spiritual warfare-the battle between good and evil, light and darkness. They must not be "ENTANGLED" with the affairs of this world. If they do, the one who enlisted them will not be pleased. A good soldier bears impeccable testimony like Apostle Paul, who said in 2 Timothy 4:7, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."
