Book Description

Today more than ever, Christians are overwhelmed and oversaturated with the accelerated negative news and society craze, and it's leading them into a spiritual rut. Studies show alarming statistics on why people are falling into this rut of complacency, and it's one of the critical areas where the enemy attacks us the most--doubt. Are the teachings from God's word sustaining our life throughout the week? If we're to be God's hands, mouth, and feet in this world, something must change within each one of us individually! There's a power source that's available for each one of us to tap into daily. This Christian-living book will take us on a journey. It will show us the importance of applying God's word and living out the example of Christ starting on Monday and sustaining us to our battleground in the Sunday pew. And what better place to begin than Genesis--taking those first steps with God! God values our daily walk with the Greatest Guide because it can impact our lives so powerfully--for His glory. But only if we live and breathe it daily. Our wholehearted commitment starts now.

Book Description

The Christian life is built on three seemingly unremarkable practices: reading the Bible, prayer, and fellowship with other believers. However, according to David Mathis, such “habits of grace” are the God-designed channels through which his glorious grace flows—making them life-giving practices for all Christians. Whether it’s hearing God’s voice (the Word), having his ear (prayer), or participating in his body (fellowship), such spiritual rhythms of the Christian life have the power to awaken our souls to God’s glory and stir our hearts for lifelong service in his name. What’s more, these seemingly simple practices grant us access to a host of spiritual blessings that we can only begin to imagine this side of eternity—and the incredible joy that such blessings bring to God’s children today.

Book Description

"We will always obey our Lord at all costs." This is the opposite of the spirit of lawlessness, which despises authority and cultivates chaos, division, and destruction. And there is no doubt that lawless and unrighteous acts are on the rise throughout this country. In a time when unholiness is rampant in our homes, schools, communities, churches, and abroad, there are alarming concerns about these escalating acts. If we're not students of God's word, growing in his grace and love as believers, we can find ourselves vulnerable to the rise of unholiness because it can distort our minds, heart, and attitude. It's important that God's children are on the front line in pursuing God's most divine nature of holiness and living as intentional followers of Christ. Because make no mistake: God the Father, Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit are not pleased with all the unholy practices saturating our lives. They are calling believers to intercede in the gap and bridge God's holiness in people's lives! As devout Christians, we are needed more than ever because an intense battle of spiritual warfare is spreading where evil is trying to take over, and we cannot allow this to happen.

Book Description

We are undoubtedly living in a society and culture that is growing stranger by the day--creating more distance between others, minute by minute. It seems that people are living in their own little bubbles and silos more than ever--with no interest in connecting with people effectively. And it is evident that the rise of the digital age is affecting people mentally and emotionally, leading to voidness and isolation and a sense of hopelessness and helplessness. Billions of people are connecting with an unproductive device in their hands when it should be the word of God! There is no spiritual value when we allow the things of this world to consume our lives more than God's divine nature. Do we really think anything will improve in our homes, communities, churches, schools, country, and globally if we're not grounded and connected in the Truths of his word? We must realize that connecting with humans physically, emotionally, and spiritually is how God designed us. Just like our Creator wants a relationship with you and me, he wants us to bond with others so they can also see the experience of his abundant blessings and goodness in our lives. We cannot afford to be on the sidelines because it's all about cultivating genuine care for God's creation and putting it into practice for the sake of ourselves and others, now more than ever.

Book Description

In a society where so many people feel helpless and hopeless, they need to grasp onto someone who will release them from the bondage preventing them from attaining the beautiful things God has in store. So often, we don’t know how to fight our spiritual battles, leading to a weakened and defeated spirit. This state of delusion and confusion is only the work of a dark force that’s keeping people shackled in chains and suppressing their glorious life of liberty in Jesus Christ. We all long for a life full of peace, purpose, and a plan that will lead to a glorious journey with the presence of our Lord every step of the way. The reality of believing in Jesus, obeying his word, and knowing the truth brings spiritual freedom. And such a privilege includes freedom from the bondage of falsehood! “For his truth sets us free!” This forty-day devotional guide through Exodus will show us times of being in bondage—to a stage of deliverance—to wandering in the wilderness—and how to rely on the strength and guidance of an Almighty God. And that’s where spiritual freedom comes to the surface in our “intentional” lives!

Book Description

Come Matter Here is a call to stop putting your life on hold until "someday" and start digging your heels into the here and now to build the life God has designed for you. Life is scary. Adulting is hard. When faced with the challenges of building a life of your own, it's all too easy to stake your hope and happiness in "someday." But what if the dotted lines on the map at your feet today mattered just as much as the destination you dream of? Hannah Brencher, TED Talk speaker and founder of The World Needs More Love Letters, thought Atlanta was her destination. Yet even after she arrived, she found herself in the same old chase for the next best thing…somewhere else. And it left her in a state of anxiety and deep depression. Our hyper-connected era has led us to believe life should be a highlight reel—where what matters most is perfect beauty, instant success, and ready applause. Yet, as Hannah learned, nothing about faith, relationships, or character is instant. So she took up a new mantra: be where your feet are. Give yourself a permission slip to stop chasing the next big thing, and come matter here. Engage the process as much as you trust the God who lovingly leads you. If you are tired of running away from your life or tired of running ragged toward the next thing you think will make you feel complete, Come Matter Here will help you do whatever it takes to show up for the life God has for you. Whether you need to make a brave U-turn, take a bold step forward, or finish the next lap with fresh courage, find fuel and inspiration for the journey right here.
