Experiencing Joy is another delightful, powerful, and inspirational devotional that follows Ruth's previous devotionals-Pursuing Patience, Pursuing Peace, Choosing Love, Choosing Kindness, and Cultivating Faith. Each relatable five-minute lesson is born out of a decision to choose authentic joy, no matter the circumstance. Ruth's contributors share their joy struggles and victories as well, always beginning with a life-giving scripture and ending with a prayer that will connect you to your Heavenly Father, the source of true joy. Suitable for personal, small group, and corporate use.

For many people, heaven is the place "up there" where we go after death. My Father's House will challenge this traditional thinking about life after death with biblical truth. It will also answer many questions! Where is heaven for the spirit prior to the resurrection? What is the Holy City? Who will inhabit the new heaven and the new earth of Revelation 21-22?

The heart of the Father is woven throughout. More than once I was brought to tears. -Penny LaneBiblical and personal heartfelt stories that will inspire and challenge you to put God's amazing, limitless love into action. -Gloria WilloughbySkillfully drawing from scriptural accounts and personal reflections, Ruth and contributors call us to greater faith. Keep a pen nearby. There's lots you'll want to note! -Susan WellsBiblically sound, encouraging, and inspirational. The author writes as a true example of the believers as she invites us to choose love. -Shirley Ratcliff, Major (R) Choosing Love is an invitation to explore the narratives of some biblical characters and some ordinary women who have been transformed by God's unfailing love. The testimonies are unique, genuine, and vulnerable, demonstrating a divine, sacrificial, limitless love. You will be both summoned and inspired to draw closer to God, grow in this fruit of the Spirit, and develop a passion to receive His love and express it to others. Choosing Love includes small group helps and will make a valuable addition to both church and personal libraries.

La promesse de Dieu est comme une semence donnée à un fermier. Elle doit être plantée dans une bonne terre, et bien entretenue. Courageusement et patiemment, très dévoué, ce fermier attendra avec vigilance, observant sa récolte jour après jour sans se distraire, jusqu'à ce que vienne la moisson.Nous ne croyons pas en Dieu pour la simple raison que tout a l'air bien, mais parce que nous devons mettre toute notre confiance en l'Éternel, quelles que soient les circonstances. Cependant, ce que certains ont oublié, c'est que si la présence de l'Éternel n'est pas avec Son peuple, l'Arche de l'Alliance parmi eux n'est rien de plus qu'une pièce d'Équipement.Marcher dans l'obéissance à l'Éternel est une opportunité pour ceux qui lui sont dévoués, afin de se positionner pour la victoire. Attendre le Seigneur, espérer en l'Éternel, c'est connaître le Dieu qui nous donne la compréhension de nous mettre en position pour recevoir l'accomplissement de Ses promesses.

<p>Life is full of big questions. Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? Where do the universe, earth, and humans come from? Do humans have free will? What is the meaning of life and death? Do humans and animals have souls and spirits? Where do good and evil come from? Who is Satan? What was his original offense? Why does the devil tempt humans? Why is there pain and suffering? Can the nefarious attitudes in human spirits change for the better? </p><p><i>Before the Beginning to Beyond the End</i> clearly presents answers to the above questions based in Scripture. The book seeks to unpack the creation of the world and its implications for mankind through the lens of the Bible. Furthermore, it expounds on the cause for human''s fall, God''s redemption plan, Jesus''s fulfillment of Messianic prophecies, future events in the world, and what will happen to us beyond the end of time.</p>

"Why don't these bums just get a job?!" For a long time, that was my sentiment about people I saw begging on the street for money. Without compassion, I was convinced that if I did give them money, they would just use it for booze or drugs. So instead I just shook my head in disgust and walked on by.After many years of this unkind, uncaring attitude, I found myself working in a large inner-city church and having to meet with people on the streets every day as they dropped by to have their various needs met. Eventually I found that by getting to know them and their often tragic stories-many of which are included in this memoir-they ministered to me as much as I ministered to them, changing my heart.

This devotional will guide you into a deeper prayer life that will make your relationship with God grow, and bring joy and victory over the mountains in your life.

Olusola Olufemi uses scriptures to discuss the power and importance of words in everyday life, including our spiritual walk with God, relationships, and self-awareness. The book guides the reader through the many facets of words in the context of guarding the mouth, keeping words far from sin, and equipping our words to be a blessing through wisdom gained from God's word. "Rejoice in God's word or promise like one who finds great spoil" (Psalm 119:162). Win your battles with God's word. The theme of Words: Guard the Door of My Lips is poignant because the lips are the outer extremity or a doorway to the tongue, and the power of life rests in the tongue. There is wisdom in guarding your lips to ensure you speak life, encouragement, and blessing to others. Psalm 55:21 reads, "His talk is smooth as butter, yet war is in his heart; his words are more soothing than oil, yet they are drawn swords." Examine the words that flow from your thoughts, from your heart-are they smooth as butter, soothing as oil? Or like daggers drawn and ready for war and turmoil? Spoken words are like eggs. When dropped, they are difficult to scoop back. Words are a Wellspring Of Restoration and Divine Sanctification (WORDS). Use your words wisely. Let your words divinely sanctify others.
