Would you like to be happier? Would you like to have a stronger marriage? Would you enjoy having a better relationship with your children? Your parents? Your siblings? Wouldn't we all.In a world where we have everything at our fingertips, have more wealth than can be imagined, and are protected by many devices, God has been replaced. People are experiencing loneliness, stress, depression, and a host of many other mental illnesses. The temperature of the world continues to rise as people try to figure out what to do about climate change. Crime continues to rise as people spread further and further apart to keep themselves from harm. What if the answer to all these concerns is God? Join me as I journey through a passage that has shaped the life my wife and I have built--Psalm 127. This passage holds the keys to what ails the world unless the Lord takes you through these five verses by using the author's personal stories and some great stories in the Bible to drive a point home. That point? That "unless the Lord."Unless the Lord is a book about how culture teaches us that we can do it all on our own and that we have control; this book goes through the process of showing us that God is completely in control and that if we lived our lives that way, it would be easier; it would be more enjoyable. We would see more people living longer, healthier lives.Unless the Lord doesn't make any promises, but Psalm 127 does, and a life built on those promises could be an amazingly blessed life. Come and take the journey to freedom from the stresses of the world and enjoy "unless the Lord."

If you have ever questioned the decisions in your life from your past that you have thought harmed your future, this is the book to read. You have so many regrets, such as a choice you made in an abusive relationship, your choice of friends, and even discovering things of your past that led to future hurts. This is the book for you! I'm not the one to judge you, but I know we have a lot of similarities. Now let me prepare you for the journey I went through that helped me discover my healing.

As a Christian, have you ever been asked questions about your faith and were stumped without an answer? How can you prove that God exists without using the Bible as a reference? If you're a non-Christian and in pursuit of knowing the truth, wouldn't you like to know if there is proof of God's existence? Stand for God is an introduction into Christian apologetics. Christian apologetics is where an apologist gives evidence for Christianity, defends God's existence, and provides evidence that Jesus of Nazareth was the Son of God. We tackle some of the world's hardest questions, such as the following:- Where did the universe come from?- Where do humans come from?- How can we know Jesus was who He claimed to be?- Do miracles exist?- How old is the universe?- Does evil disprove God?- Why do bad things happen to good people?- Did Jesus really rise from the dead?- Does evolution disprove God?Paul the Apostle says,But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense (apologia) to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is within you: yet do it with gentleness and respect. (1 Peter 3:15) Apologetics is derived from apologia, which is Greek for "to give a defense." Are you ready to be able to defend your faith? God Exists. Prove Me Wrong.

Earflaps on kneecaps? What a design flaw that would be! The designer of our bodies knew just how to build our bodies perfectly. He gave us five senses so we could explore the world around us. We use our senses every day as we smell, taste, hear, see, and touch our amazing world; and he put them in the right place on our bodies so they will work well. What a disaster it would be to have your senses in the wrong places!

Have you ever wondered... What does the Bible say about your eyes? How do screens affect my child with autism? How does blue light affect my prefrontal cortex? Does screen time increase anxiety?

The Holy Spirit Journal is about taking the time to mentally acknowledge and allow the Holy Spirit to lead the documentation of what God is doing and has done (always praying before anything is written and preserved). Being habitually focused on understanding who God is, what He is saying, and who we are in our God-given identity. You are covered in God's grace and peace! Chosen, destined, and adopted! Redeemed, forgiven, and free from sin! Rich with an inheritance of fruitfulness, abundance, and eternalness! Equipped with boundless power, strength, and capabilities in Jesus! You are covered in the wisdom of the Holy Spirit that lives within you! The beauty in our identity should be the foundation leading how we pray, speak to ourselves, hear God's voice, live out God's eternal purpose for our lives, disciple with others, and journal for preservation. Remembering who God is and who we are as believers, strengthens our relationship with God which results in an understanding that aligns our identity and God's will for us with actionable living. Preserving God's activity through the Holy Spirit's guidance will help us remember the things God has done and seek the gift of His presence, character, promises, and salvation in all we do. A completed journal is considered a book of remembrance to reflect and share God's goodness with future generations.

"I am still learning" is a phrase to always keep in your mind. Difficulties you deal with usually provide learning opportunities. You may have figured out how to solve a problem that you hadn't seen before, or maybe you learned what caused the difficulty in the first place, and now you can prevent it from happening again. Going a little further, if you can learn from other people's difficulties, you are two steps ahead. Learning what they did to solve the problem may help you with the same problem, and if you are lucky, learning what caused their problem in the first place may enable you to avoid it happening to you.I am now well into my eighth decade of life. Some days I think I've seen/solved most of the problems that may yet come up; other days, new problems come as unwanted surprises, so I am still learning too. I thought it was about time to share some of my experiences in the hope that what I've learned will help you. There are few guarantees in life, but with a little planning and forethought, you can often tip the scales in your favor, or you can change the odds a little more to your benefit. As a result, hopefully you will be able to avoid most major problems and minimize the impact caused by the others.The "trip" you are about to take will highlight many experiences from my life, some of which (hopefully) will stay with you, and you will benefit from what I learned without pain to yourself. I've always tried to see the fun parts of everything, whenever the situation permits. I also try to share what I've learned, in appreciation to all those before me that shared with me what they learned.Enjoy the "trip." I hope you will find many sections that you will pass along with your own experiences to benefit others. We all are still learning.

This book details the struggles of a woman who ultimately defied incurability and the medically unknown for the most part. After being diagnosed with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) in 1999, Glenda fought to overcome bedridden and regain her place in society. Despite the nature of the incurable disease, Glenda realized without medical provision, she was in for a battle that could ultimately mean doom. In 2004 she began her journey by combing home remedies, trial and error, and prayer. However, instead of continually bowing to debilitating symptoms, Glenda had to exchange blows "the beast verses the remedy." Over time, she regained her sense of freedom. Glenda found that homeopathic remedies were the "life changers," so she has embarked on a mission to educate and encourage others to utilize health solutions that promotes quality of life.

People have an innate desire for a defined identity and a sense of belonging. This project began as a way for the author to explore his personal search for identity and perhaps find some value in the experiences, good and bad, which have shaped him. What he found was a story that is not simply personal but universal, a story which he believes the Lord has given him to tell those who have ears to hear it.For those of us who have come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, we understand that the Lord has the power to take even the darkest of times and use them for our good. We might not see the purpose and value of those times while we are in them, particularly when we survey our pre-salvation history, but nothing we have experienced has been an inconsequential matter of chance. Every smile, every tear, every victory, and every loss has brought each of us to where we are today by his design. These are the pieces that come together to create each of our unique mosaics.This is the story of a man who has come to realize that his identity is not defined by a profession, a title, a dark family legacy, or even the sins that tempt him. His is the story of a child of God who understands the power of redemption not only to address the shadows of the past but also to shape and drive his hope for the future. This call from God for a man to understand his identity and purpose in Christ is a foretaste of the greater call for the Church to gain the same wisdom and to understand who she was designed and destined to be.

It was the year 2027 when the world was going through horrible times, and Jesus was observing everything from heaven. He came up with a perfect solution to fix it. Jesus turns to the Father and he says, "Father the world's problems are escalating and the people are more coldhearted. They are loving evil and hurting others because their love has diminished from their hearts. Many of them are committing heinous crimes and others are taking their lives because of the dilemmas of life pressure. The governments are becoming more corrupted. Do you see what the leader of Iran is planning to do? We must come up with an answer to the circumstances. We should select three souls to do our bidding on earth? What about these three?" "Yes, Son, let us select them. Matter of fact, we will call them the Renegades for Jesus." Meanwhile, the devil was observing everything that was happening on the earth, for people's hearts were wicked. Mother Nature was getting worse; therefore, he decides to come up with a plan of his own. His, son, Adam Bismarck was nearby him when he shares the plan. "You will disguise yourself as the savior of the world and make sure that everyone in the world takes the Mark of the Beast. I will assist you with the agenda.

Life is a journey. There have been plenty of times in our own lives where we have felt the need to give up because we have nothing pushing us to continue.

Everyone loves a captivating story, but seldom do we recognize God calling us to live one! Especially while wading through the floodwaters. The Gospels reveal the real cost of following Jesus. It cost the disciples dearly to follow Him--cost in terms of their families, jobs and livelihoods, their fortunes, securities in the familiar, even their lives...When Sudie Gal was reborn in the Holy Spirit in July of 1977, she never could have imagined then the painful cost of following Jesus the rest of her days. He would eventually ask nearly everything of her as she found herself caregiving for her defiant, elderly mother in her dementia.God may call you to one day leave all the people and things you love most. Perhaps He already has. If so, possibly He's guiding you to be the character that overcomes in the great story of your life! Just remember, you are never alone! He is with you always! Let Jesus be your Rock! He is available. Able. And amazingly, all that you need!Here now in this testimony of joyously surviving by His Divine Guidance, Sudie shows us through her torturous trials, the tremendous cost of her faith walk--even carried by Jesus, on His great shoulders through the floodwaters to high ground. Rescued, released, redeemed!"Godspeed!" ("Prosperous journey!") is this author's prayer for you! By our trials and scars we become most assuredly one of His Overcomers! Hallelujah!"Dollars to donuts"--an old-world expression meaning a certainty, a pseudo-betting term. "I'll bet my dollars to your donuts (or buttons, cobwebs--whatever you have of no value) that I'm right!" was one of her mother's favorite sayings--as she was always "right," and everyone else could just go, well, they could just go.
