Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For all of the talk about "peace on earth" at Christmas, you probably wish you could have more of it. Christmas celebrations, even at their best, only temporarily take our minds off our problems. Wouldn't you like more peace of mind untainted by guilt, bitterness, or conflict? God has a plan for real personal peace that lasts a lifetime, no matter what your past has been or what your present problems are. When Jesus was miraculously born that first Christmas, the plan was set in motion. God's love for you as an individual was revealed through Jesus Christ's coming into the world, living among people like you and me, and his dying on the cross then rising from the dead. Through Christ's death God offers you forgiveness for your sins, and through his resurrection the promise of eternal life. Christ died and rose again for the whole world, but the only way for you to establish a personal relationship with him is to accept God's offer of forgiveness and eternal life. God can give you a new start--the following Bible verses will show you how. Read each verse and believe what it says, for it is the Word of God. God's Love Is Revealed "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." ( John 3:16) God loves you and all of humankind. He wants to bless your life and make it full and complete. He offers you not only an abundant life here and now, but also a life that is eternal. Humans Are Sinful "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) The saying, "We are just human; nobody is perfect," is biblically sound. When we acknowledge this truth, we can see our separation from God, for he is holy. Sin Has a Penalty "The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23) To continue in sin will result in spiritual death, which is separation from God forever. The alternative is to personally receive God's free gift: Pardon for sin and the provision of eternity with God in the new heavens and new earth. Christ Paid the Penalty "God shows his love for us in that while we were sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) You may think you must lead a "good" life and do charitable acts before God will love you. This is not true. God loves you even in your sin. He sent Christ to die in your place and to pay the penalty for your sin so that you can be reconciled to him. Salvation Is a Free Gift "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9) Grace means undeserved favor. God graciously offers you what you could never do for yourself. His gift is free--you do not, and cannot, work for a gift. You may think that you are a Christian because you are a faithful member of a church or have always tried to be a good person. But you could never do enough to deserve God's gift. All you need to do is receive it. Believe with all your heart that Jesus died for you to provide deliverance from your sins. We Must Receive Christ "To all who did receive him [Jesus Christ], who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God." (John 1:12) When you receive Jesus--when you accept what he has done for you--you become a child of God. Picture Jesus standing at the door of your life. He is waiting for you to let him in. Receive Christ Now You can invite Jesus Christ into your life right now by praying to God a prayer like this: "Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that I need your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus died in my place to pay the penalty for my sin and that he rose from the dead. I now invite Jesus to come into my life as my Savior. Thank you for making me your child. Help me learn to please you in every part of my life." Promises From the Word of God "Everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:13) If you've received Jesus Christ by calling upon his name in prayer, the following took place: - Your sins were forgiven (Colossians 1:14), - You became a child of God (John 1:12), - You were made heir to all of God's blessings(Romans 8:16,17), - You received everlasting life (1 John 5:11-13). You became a Christian the moment that you received Christ. Don't trust your feelings, for they will change. Instead, take God at his Word and believe his promises. Review the Bible verses you've just read whenever doubts arise. You should be able to say with assurance, "I have received Jesus Christ, and on the authority of God's Word, I have eternal life." May God grant you joy and peace in believing.

Book Synopsis The Trumpet of Conscience by : Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Download or read book The Trumpet of Conscience written by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2010-10-13 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In November and December 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered five lectures for the renowned Massey Lecture Series of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. The collection was immediately released as a book under the title Conscience for Change, but after King’s assassination in 1968, it was republished as The Trumpet of Conscience. The collection sums up his lasting creed and is his final testament on racism, poverty, and war. Each oration in this volume encompasses a distinct theme and speaks prophetically to today’s perils, addressing issues of equality, conscience and war, the mobilization of young people, and nonviolence. Collectively, they reveal some of King’s most introspective reflections and final impressions of the movement while illustrating how he never lost sight of our shared goals for justice. The book concludes with “A Christmas Sermon on Peace”—a powerful lecture that was broadcast live from Ebenezer Baptist Church on Christmas Eve in 1967. In it King articulates his long-term vision of nonviolence as a path to world peace.

Book excerpt: With the same straightforward honesty that made her one of country’s top-selling female recording artists, Reba McEntire tells her phenomenal story. From her childhood in Oklahoma working cattle with her ranching family to her days on the rodeo competition circuit, from her early days as a performer in honky-tonks to her many awards and a sold-out appearance at Carnegie Hall, Reba relates her experiences with heartfelt emotion and down-to-earth humor. With the same warmth and generous spirit that infuses her music, she introduces us to the most important people in her life: the family and friends who sustain her and the musicians and producers who have inspired her and helped her realize her artistic vision. With great poignancy, she also recounts the lowest points of her life, the breakup of her first marriage and the plane crash that took the lives of eight of her band members; and the highest, her remarriage and the birth of her son Shelby. Her story is not only a chronicle of a remarkable life but a vivid testament of unshakable determination and faith in God. Reba: My Story is an intimate portrait of one of America’s most beloved and successful entertainers. NOTE: This edition does not include a photo insert.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Con todo lo que se habla de "paz en la tierra" durante la Navidad, probablemente deseas poder tener un poco mAs de ella en tu vida. Aun las celebraciones navideNas nos distraen de nuestros problemas sOlo temporalmente, cuando mucho. No te gustarIa tener mAs paz mental sin un sentido de culpabilidad, amargura o conflicto? Dios tiene un plan para obtener una paz personal real que dura toda la vida, sin importar cuAl ha sido tu pasado o cuAles son tus problemas actuales. Cuando ocurriO el nacimiento milagroso de JesUs aquella primera Navidad, el plan se puso en marcha. El amor de Dios por ti como individuo se revelO por medio de la venida de Jesucristo al mundo, su vida entre gente como tU y yo, su muerte en la cruz, y luego su resurrecciOn de entre los muertos. Por la muerte de Cristo, Dios te ofrece el perdOn de tus pecados, y por su resurrecciOn, la promesa de vida eterna. Cristo muriO y resucitO de nuevo para todo el mundo, pero la Unica manera en que tU puedes establecer una relaciOn personal con El es por aceptar el ofrecimiento de Dios de perdOn y vida eterna. Dios te puede dar un nuevo comienzo! Los siguientes versIculos de la Biblia te muestran cOmo. Lee cada versIculo y cree lo que dice, pues es la Palabra de Dios. El amor de Dios se revelO "Porque de tal manera amO Dios al mundo, que dio a su Hijo unigEnito, para que todo aquel que cree en El, no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna" ( Juan 3:16). Dios te ama a ti y a toda la humanidad. El quiere bendecir tu vida y darte una vida llena y completa. El te ofrece no sOlo una vida abundante aquI y ahora, sino tambiEn una vida que es eterna. La humanidad es pecadora "Por cuanto todos pecaron y no alcanzan la gloria de Dios," (Romanos 3:23). El dicho, "SOlo somos humanos, nadie es perfecto," va de acuerdo con la Biblia. Cuando reconocemos esta verdad, podemos ver nuestra separaciOn de Dios, pues El es santo. El pecado tiene un castigo "Porque la paga del pecado es muerte, pero la dAdiva de Dios es vida eterna en Cristo JesUs SeNor nuestro" (Romanos 6:23). Continuar en el pecado resultarA en una muerte espiritual, lo que significa separaciOn de Dios por siempre. La alternativa es recibir personalmente el obsequio gratuito de Dios: el perdOn de los pecados y la provisiOn de la vida eterna con Dios en los cielos nuevos y la tierra nueva. Cristo pagO el castigo "Pero Dios demuestra su amor para con nosotros, en que siendo aUn pecadores, Cristo muriO por nosotros" (Romanos 5:8). Es posible que pienses que tienes que llevar una vida "buena" y realizar actos de caridad antes de que Dios te ame. Pero realmente no es asI. Dios te ama a pesar de tu pecado. El enviO a Cristo a morir en tu lugar y a pagar el castigo de tu pecado para que pudieras reconciliarte con El. La salvaciOn es un obsequio gratuito "Porque por gracia habEis sido salvados por medio de la fe, y esto no de vosotros, sino que es don de Dios; no por obras, para que nadie se glorIe" (Efesios 2:8-9). Es posible que pienses que eres cristiano porque eres un miembro fiel de una iglesia o porque siempre has tratado de ser una buena persona. Pero nunca podrIas hacer lo suficiente para merecer el regalo de Dios. La palabra 'gracia' significa 'un favor no merecido'. Dios en su gracia te ofrece lo que nunca podrIas lograr por ti mismo. Su obsequio es gratuito: no se trabaja, ni se puede trabajar, para obtener un regalo. Todo lo que tienes que hacer es recibirlo. Cree con todo tu corazOn que JesUs muriO por ti para liberarte de tus pecados. Debemos aceptar a Cristo "Pero a todos los que le recibieron, les dio el derecho de llegar a ser hijos de Dios, es decir, a los que creen en su nombre" (Juan 1:12). Cuando recibes a JesUs, cuando aceptas lo que El ha hecho por ti, te conviertes en hijo de Dios. Imagina a JesUs de pie a la puerta de tu vida, esperando que lo recibas. Acepta a Cristo ahora Puedes invitar a Jesucristo a entrar en tu vida ahora mismo al orar a Dios asI "Amado Dios, sE que soy pecador y que necesito tu perdOn. Creo que JesUs muriO en mi lugar para pagar el castigo de mi pecado y que resucitO de los muertos. Ahora invito a JesUs a entrar en mi vida como mi Salvador. Gracias por hacerme tu hijo. AyUdame a aprender a agradarte en cada aspecto de mi vida." Las promesas de la Palabra de Dios "Porque: TODO AQUEL QUE INVOQUE EL NOMBRE DEL SENOR SERA SALVO" (Romanos 10:13). Si acabas de recibir a Jesucristo invocando su nombre en oraciOn, sucediO lo siguiente: - Tus pecados fueron perdonados (Colosenses 1:14). - Te convertiste en hijo de Dios (Juan 1:12). - Fuiste hecho heredero de todas las bendiciones de Dios (Romanos 8:16-17). - Recibiste la vida eterna (1 Juan 5:11-13) En el momento que aceptaste a Cristo, te convertiste en cristiano. No confIes en tus sentimientos, pues ellos cambiarAn. Sino mAs bien recibe la Palabra de Dios y cree en sus promesas. Cuando surjan dudas, revisa los versIculos de la Biblia que acabas de leer. Debes poder decir con seguridad: "He aceptado a Jesucristo y de acuerdo con la autoridad de la Palabra de Dios, tengo vida eterna." Que Dios te conceda gozo y paz al creer.

Book excerpt: It’s Time to Stop Trying to Be the Perfect Mom You long to be the mom your kids need, but often you’re convinced you come up short. The label “not enough” seems to be stamped across everything you do—and yet parenting is the one thing you want most to get right. What if the solution is simply to embrace the truth that you are not enough—but God is? In Gospel-Centered Mom Brooke McGlothlin reveals how our entire approach to motherhood shifts when we stop chasing our vision of a perfect family and start full-out pursuing God. With refreshing candor, Brooke examines the daunting task of raising children in the light of God’s Word and challenges you to: · embrace your moment-by-moment need for Jesus · release the stress of believing everything is your responsibility · learn to fight for rather than against your child · believe that the story God is writing with your life is worth the sacrifice · practice the daily disciplines that lead to Gospel-centered parenting As you learn to anchor your life in the Gospel, you’ll find increased freedom, purpose, and joy in motherhood. And you’ll discover that Jesus is more than capable of meeting every need, for your children and for you.
