When people become Christian, their lives will reflect the salvation they possess. Certainly the Bible doesnt teach otherwise. The reason we dont see new life reflected in the lives of so many professing Christians is that they dont have it! But how could one know? The apostle Paul wrote: Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you-unless, of course, you fail the test (2 Corinthians 13:5). So there must be some sort of a test, something to look at in the life of a professing Christian that would give some evidence as to whether or not he or she is a genuine or counterfeit believer. What is it? Are we going to talk about works for salvation? Of course not! But God is about giving us the confidence that Christ is in us. God is not suggesting that we examine ourselves to see if we can pass a test for salvation, but rather, God has us look at the evidence in our lives of salvation. Is there any in your life? If you were accused of being a Christian in a land where it was illegal and you were brought to trial, would there be enough evidence to find you guilty as charged! or would you be acquitted? Think about it. Is there anything unique about you that looks Christian? What might that look like? Thats what this book is about. Therefore, it seems it would behoove every professing Christian to give some thought to what Ive written in this book.

Commonly, previous generations of Christian culture emphasize issues that were pertinent to them, and they teach key doctrinal concepts while neglecting that which is essential to the healthy development of a Christian teen. In his book, Bird encourages a balanced approach while exploring faith issues most relevant to teens as they approach the years when theyre forced to grapple with enormous decisions. More specifically, he uncovers an innovative way to think about Gods purpose for an individuals life (which has the potential to not only affect the way teens approach life, but may also challenge parents and leaders to re-prioritize their own schedules), and then goes on to uncover a biblically based model for understanding Gods will, which happens to be conveniently situated at the center of his purpose for humanity. At a time when its more common for a teen to walk away from the faith than it is for them to remain engaged, Lost Teens, Lost Faith provides relevant dialogue generated out of Birds experience and his deep desire to see the reversal of this tragic trend. What he uncovers and passes along provides parents with the necessary foundation to lead their children through some of lifes greatest challenges. Birds scripturally inspired ideas give parents and teens a framework to begin a conversation of eternal importance.

Meghan Martins walked into the cosmetology school and straight into the path of Becky Ellingson, her husbands ex-girlfriend.

He had a son, a bank account, and jobs to provide child support, which she knew nothing about. Meghan thought shed find clarity by running away, but she found the truth to be far more distorted than shed imagined. Everyone was hiding something. And everyone, it seemed, was struggling to maintain the notion that he or she was somehow better than someone else. It would take counseling, a good Bible study, and a whole lot of tea to get Meghan Martins and her husband, Ben, back on the same page. Meghan would come to realize she was hiding just as much as her husband and that she was equally capable of creating damage. Tragedy, controversy, and a new understanding of the human condition await Meghan in the tiny town of Oronoco, Minnesota, but so do adventure, hope, and witty friends who bring meaning back to her life.

An assassin? In Devanville? Who would ever believe that anyone in Devanville would hire a hitman? Daniel found it hard to believe that someone in this quiet, peaceful town that he had come to love so much would actually do such a thing, much less even know how. Yes, there were the routine murders that had increased in the past year that he attributed to the stress that the foreclosures had put on so many families when the Denim Company outsourced to another country, but to actually hire an assassin?Daniel could hardly believe what the evidence was showing them, but it was clear. He usually worked alone but was glad to have Gavin for a partner on this one as there were occasions that required a second officer, and Gavin was proving to be a good detective. Daniel barely has time to sleep before a call comes in sending him out to another crime scene. Who is this assassin that stays one step ahead of Devanvilles finest, and why is he staying in this small, tight knit community?

Sometimes, though, there are no words to capture the pain, loneliness, and at times, desperation when finding yourself without your life mate.

This devotional offers the widows aching heart a way to pray circles from widowhood, when the words just dont come because of the heavy grief.

In this eye-opening commentary, Paul Winkler unlocks the Scriptures to reveal the mystery of God and how it was fulfilled, just as Jesus promised, within one generation of Christs time on earth.

This book contains a selection of inspirational poems written over a period of forty years. Its Just Impossible was her first poem/song and came one dark, dreadful day when the author doubted she could go on. The poem was a miracle that took the sting out of the emotional pain she experienced and turned her weeping into joy. This collection of poems covers many topics: self-worth, hope, grace, encouragement, laughter, gratitude, praise, and glory to our Creator and Redeemer. Apart from Him, not one poem would have been written, because the author was simply not capable.

Many Christian churches teach that salvation is as easy as acknowledging to God that you are a sinner and then saying a beautiful prayer about your belief in Jesus Christ. They say at that moment you will receive the Holy Spirit, be born again, and become a new creation. After completing this, they also say you are now in the Christian family and will live with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit in heaven for all of eternity, regardless of how you live your life from that point on.For author Marty Vanderzanden, this teaching never sat well in his heart. He has always wondered if there was more to gaining entrance to heaven than just saying a prayer. In They Say You Are Saved, Vanderzanden examines and highlights what Jesus says about our entrance into heaven.A series of short stories and lessons delivered by God, They Say You Are Saved discusses the importance of developing an intimate bond with and having faith in Jesus Christ, as well as living your life as if you believe. Including a short Bible study, Vanderzanden encourages you to make your relationship with Jesus Christ a top priority.

Sanctification Renovation was inspired by my own journey through the Bible. I have considered myself a Christian for many years, and approximately five years ago, I decided I should know what the Holy Book says. Thus, I read my New International Student Version of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. I did not understand every word, story or situation, nor could I pronounce all the names, but I did manage to get a good general sense of the Word of God. From my studies, I discovered how God has been reaching out to His people from day one. He has used and continues to use many ways to display His authority, power, and grace. The fundamental principles of the Bible are timeless and transforming. No other book can compare to the Bible and no other being can compare to God, His Word, His Spirit, and His Son. The Christian experience is filled with ups and downs but how glorious to know He will ultimately prevail. Good will triumph evil!My challenge to anyone who reads this is to test your beliefs and examine what you live for. What would you be willing to die for? Ask deep questionstest your limits, get out of your comfort zone, and open your mind. If you are already a believer in Jesus Christ, I would challenge you to find your unique way to honor your faith and spread Godly characteristics. If you want to know more about the King of Kings, maybe you should pick up a Bibleit could change your life, death, and eternal fate.

The heart of God is for us to understand the book of Revelation. PREPARE was written for that purpose. Beginning with an eye-opening foundation in Daniel, PREPARE unveils the end times in a riveting chapter-by-chapter walk-through of the book of Revelation. You will have a clear understanding of the timeline, events, and their significance for the end times when you finish this book. And you will see just how close we are to Christs return! In PREPARE, you will learn: the proper sequence of events in the book of Revelation; the three conditions necessary to automatically trigger the end times (two are in place, and the third is ready to go); about the rapture: is it pretrib? midtrib? posttrib?or something else?; the riddle unveiling Antichrists identity; the necessary conditions for the second coming of Christ and the onset of Gods wrath. PREPARE is for: pastors who have been afraid to teach Revelation until now; the average Christian who is grasping to understand what is happening in this world, and how it relates to Biblical prophecy.
