Why is it so difficult to live in the reality of the New Creation revealed in the Pauline epistles? If you have ever experienced this quandary, you will welcome the eye salve found in this book and the illumination of many of the cleverly disguised snares present in the average believers life. Pastor Alyce Tallman tackles an often neglected topic in Christian circles. The Carnal Mind endeavors to outline several keys every child of God needs to identify in their daily walk with the Lord: • Understanding what Paul meant when he told the gifted Corinthians they were yet carnal • Recognizing the fuller meaning of carnal from the scriptures • Distinguishing spiritual gifts from spiritual maturity • Discovering that the glass ceiling of spiritual maturity is not bulletproof • Becoming fully persuaded of the growth potential resident in your born again spirit

The Church of God is more then Organizations. The Church is the Reflection of Christ in this world. Christ was separate, Powerful and distinguishable. The True Church must be the Same. This cannot be done by compromising, nor by guilt, fear and traditions of man. This can only be done by the power of his spirit.

The Bible teaches that the church is the fullness of Christ on earth (Eph. 1:23) and that God is able to do abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within the church (Eph. 3:20). So why are so many people disappointed with their church experiences? Why do so many outsiders view the church as irrelevant? Why do so many hop from one church to the next looking for fulfillment? Why are so many professing Christians seeking a form of Christian experience that no longer needs any connection with the organized church?The truth is that we have collectively drifted away from Gods blueprint for growing the body of Christ up into full maturity and attaining the fullness that he designed. We have inherited a leadership model that is more influenced by pagan practices, pragmatism, and capitalism than by the Scriptures. This cultural inheritance is extremely powerful, and it has resulted in a contemporary blind spot on a biblical truth of critical importance. It has led to our modern failure to properly recognize and appreciate a gift given by Jesus to his bride! This is the bad news.The good news is that reform is possible.Learn what has been forgotten, and rediscover the fullness of Gods design for his church!

Davids life teaches us how to press forward when the battle looks overwhelming, when the circumstances appear defeating, when life, family, friends and even God Himself seems to have left us in a state of utter darkness. David teaches us how to completely trust in the Lord with all of our heart, how to look past the temporary and see Gods plans and purposes in your life. The life of David guides us in how to walk by faith, to keep believing and how to never give up hope. David was a man after Gods own heart, yet he committed sin. I believe God has anointed this book and message, that we may glean from Davids life a treasure of wisdom and humility as well as strength and diligence, determination and destiny, thus giving us purpose and continuous progress. Heart of a Warrior is intended to open eyes. Transform hearts. And lead any and all into a deeper understanding and relationship with the King of kings and the Lord of lords. It is the very essence of the heart of God. Heart of a Warrior will guide you into all truth and empower you to overcome the darkness.

This book is the story of being married to an unbeliever. It is the story of a wifes forty-year prayer journey, praying for her husbands salvation, her lifelong struggles in the marriage, and remaining faithful in prayer. It is the story of Gods faithfulness to hear and answer prayer in His time. It is the story of a God who loves without measure and walks with us when in the furnace of affliction. It is the story of an ordinary woman with a tenacious determination to not give up on her God-given assignment to pray. It is the story of faith rewarded, missions accomplished, and the power of prayer. It is the story of how God gives joy for our journeys and grace as we wait upon Him. The vision is yet for the appointed time: It hastens towards the goal, and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it. Habakkuk 2:3

And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in my infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christs sake: for when I am weak, then I am strong.2 Corinthians 12:910It is through many years of personal experiences, struggles, and sufferings that God has brought forth this collection of writings. These are His words, not mine. Our sufferings are never wasted. Our weaknesses do become our strengths through His help. My prayer is that His words will encourage you, that He will reveal to you the times of weakness that made you strong, that you will see His presence with you as He carries you from your weaknesses to strength. May you experience His faithfulness to His words in 2 Corinthians 12:910.

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger Luke 2:7Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith: who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.Hebrews 12:2When we see the wooden manger, we see the birth of the Savior of the world. It was the beginning of the way of salvationanother display of Gods great love for mankind. Then when we see the wooden cross, we see the death of the Savior of the world. His death on that cross was to pay the sin debt of mankind, which was accomplished through the shedding of His blood. In the years in between, He went about revealing His God and our God. He taught the truths of His Father and our Father. This collection of writings comes from some of those truths He has taught me. My prayer is that as you read these He will reveal Himself to you in a fresh new way. May He be glorified in all these words!Alleluia!

Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son: in whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins.Colossians 1:1214Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.Psalm 51:7The purpose of this collection of writings is to show each of us our need for a Savior. And that Savior is Jesus Christ. He alone is the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father but by Him. Through these words God shows us the blackness of our sins. Then He shows us the forgiveness and cleansing of our sins through the shed blood of His Son, Jesus Christ. When we come to Christ, confessing our sins and asking for forgiveness, He covers us with His blood. The result of this is that we are made white as snow! My prayer for those who are already His is that we all continue seeking cleansing when we fall back into sin. He loves us too much to let us walk in darkness. As we do this we will walk in the light, and that light is white! My prayer for those who read these words and have not come to Jesus for forgiveness and cleansing through His shed blood is that you would hear God calling you to His way of salvation, only through the shed blood of His Son. Hear His heart as He yearns to save you from your sins. Today is the day of salvation! Heed His call. Give Him your heart. If you do, you will no longer walk in darkness. You will walk in the Light. You will walk in freedom, for whom the Son sets free is free indeed! As a result, your journey with Jesus will have begun. Your life will never be the same again! O, taste and see that the Lord is good!Psalm 34:8

In Ephesians, Paul said, And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers (Eph. 4:11). From this verse we understand that being a pastor and teacher is a gift from God. Becoming a pastor is not done when a person so desires, but when he is given the Gift of the Pastorate. This book is being written especially for those who are being called into the pastorate. I hope that this book will benefit young pastors, or even experienced pastors, who may not have had the benefit of a wise counselor. The basic purpose of the book is to explain the calling, preparation, and role of a pastor. I also think that this book could help church members understand the role of a pastor and what being a pastor entails.

This prince was rich. He wore the finest clothes, and his kingdom stretched as far as the eye could see. He thought he had no need of anything. Well he did, right until a strange old man showed up. This old man told the prince about the great king across the sea, who gives without merit whenever there is need. He told the prince that, in reality, he was blind, naked, and poor, and unless he ventured out to see this king, his wealth, his clothes, and his kingdom amounted to nothing. With a fierce pride, the prince ignored the old man. He ventured out to hunt only to find himself lost in the great kings woods. There, he found himself lost, blind, alone, cold, and hungry. But he remembered the old mans words. He began to learn the true cost of wealth, the value of learning to see, and what it means to be truly clothed. And he also began to learn of the goodness of the great king across the sea.

People are often caught at crossroads in matters of what is right and what is wrong. When is it right to strictly follow manmade rules and when is it right to balk at red tapes? Decisions are not always clear-cut black and white. The heart should sometimes be allowed to rule the head. After all, is it not love that makes the world keep going round? And yet rules are made for some very good reasons.

The question, "e;Who am I"e;, is one of humanitys most asked questions, but it is a profound question that we have done so little to address. Identity touches and colors every facet of living.

The Craigsfield Community Church stands amid the scenic hills just outside of a small Vermont town. It has been a source of history, beauty, and nostalgia to area residents for over a century. To passersby, the church appears to have changed little over the years. But if one could look beyond the white clapboard exterior and through the ornate stained glass windows, he or she would see the real changes that have occurred over timethose that lay hidden in the hearts and lives of the church members.Alone with his thoughts as he worked at the church one Sunday afternoon, lifelong member and caretaker, Stan Williams, has a startling encounter with an unusual stranger. The visitor reveals important information to him about the history of the church, along with a warning about the direction the church is now taking. Stan is shone evidence of the strong moral convictions once held by the founding members, along with their vision for the church, all of which have been forgotten over the years by its congregation. His remarkable experience becomes the catalyst for a chain of events that could greatly impact his future and the future of the church. He will soon find, however, that there are challenges and obstacles to be faced as he reveals what he had learned to the congregation. In time Stan will also come to discover other important information about his own ancestry.

The contention of this book is that the church is not being what it should be to the world as a result of tolerating false or misleading teachings. We need to examine what we have absorbed and get back to the basics of our faith, if we are to live right and be a stronger, more powerful influence in this world. Twelve fundamental topics are discussed with review questions for personal contemplation or for group discussion.My prayer is that the Holy Spirit will help us see the truth through the scriptures that we examine, and that we will understand things the way they were meant to be understood. There is no guarantee that everyone will come to the same conclusions as a result of the scriptures and arguments presented in this book. But this book would achieve its purpose if it results in some serious discussion and questioning of our current understanding and results in some positive changes.

Our God Is Able bears witness to the marvelous miracle: mighty signs and great wonders and gifts of and through the Holy Spirit in accordance with Gods will made manifest even in these end times, as it was when Jesus the Lord walked the shores of Galilee. The Lord our God is the only true and living God! He exercises dominion over all His works. He is eternally unchangeable in His nature and character, love, grace, and power to save, heal, and deliver. His Word is true, all-powerful, and does what it says. The Holy Bible is filled with amazing revelations about the kingdom of God with its transforming power: therein Jesus preached, taught, healed diverse sickness and diseases, saved, delivered, set the captives free, broke social barriers, and raised the dead! Alleluia! These things were written for our example and application by the power and authority in His holy name! Come what may, it is not over until God says it is over! The greatest miracle, however, is healing and wholeness of a sin-sicked soul! It is by, with, and through the Spirit of grace and truth that our lives were spared, and we overcame various captivitiespersonal challenges, the bloody (un)civil war, and most especially, a life-threatening situation. If the Lord God Almighty hadnt sent us help from above, it would have all been long over.
