Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When abuse happens, it is easy to place blame. I placed most of the blame on GOD. I found out GOD was not responsible for my pain or for what happened to me, because God is Love. (I John 4:16) Love doesn't hurt. I harbored so much unforgiveness and anger in my heart. Holding on to the anger did not stop the people who hurt me from going on with their lives. It hindered me from living mine. I had to pardon them and myself and without GOD'S LOVE, it would not have happened.
Download or read book Unashamed written by Christine Caine and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2016-05-10 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author, speaker, and activist Christine Caine helps you overcome past guilt and live an unashamed life. Shame can take on many forms. It hides in the shadows of the most successful, confident and high-achieving woman who struggles with balancing her work and children, as well as in the heart of the broken, abused and downtrodden woman who has been told that she will never amount to anything. Shame hides in plain sight and can hold us back in ways we do not realize. But Christine Caine wants readers to know something: we can all be free. “I know. I’ve been there,” writes Christine. “I was schooled in shame. It has been my constant companion from my very earliest memories. I see shame everywhere I look in the world, including in the church. It creeps from heart to heart, growing in shadowy places, feeding on itself so that those struggling with it are too shamed to seek help from shame itself.” In Unashamed, Christine reveals the often-hidden consequences of shame—in her own life and the lives of so many Christian women—and invites you to join her in moving from a shame-filled to a shame-free life. In her passionate and candid style, Christine leads you into God’s Word where you will see for yourself how to believe that God is bigger than your mistakes, your inadequacies, your past, and your limitations. He is not only more powerful than anything you’ve done but also stronger than anything ever done to you. You can deal with your yesterday today, so that you can move on to what God has in store for you tomorrow—a powerful purpose and destiny he wants you to fulfill. Join the journey. Lay ahold of the power of Jesus Christ today and step into the future—his future for you—a beautiful, full, life-giving future, where you can even become a shame-lifter to others. Live unashamed! Dive deeper into the Unashamed message with the Unashamed video study and study guide. Available now.
Book Synopsis In the Way of Jesus by : Paul D. Kroeker
Download or read book In the Way of Jesus written by Paul D. Kroeker and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2017-03-05 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revolutionary love movement is circling the globe. Broken lives are being transformed and the love of Jesus is being gossiped into the most remote regions of the planet. However, in the West, the church is in decline. The brand image is broken. Christianity is not seen as radical or revolutionary and some of those who claim to be “Christian,” seem to bear little resemblance to the life and teachings of Jesus. Through national and international engagement in Christian ministry, Paul Kroeker has witnessed this development firsthand. He has come to realize that “Though we thought we were rich, we are really poor, and though we thought they were poor, the international church has the riches we need to live the abundant life Jesus describes” (inspired by Revelation 3:14-22). In the Way of Jesus takes readers on a journey of renewed hope found in the person of Jesus Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit. Through personal anecdotes and biblical insights, Kroeker lays out the path of discipleship that leads to an intimate relationship with Jesus: “When someone has been with Jesus, their love becomes authentic and compelling. They eagerly share what Jesus has done for them. Their joy is infectious. They are an open book—evidence of God’s love and forgiveness. Their love for one another becomes extraordinary and reveals the good news of the Kingdom of God. Brand image and reality are one and the same. This alone will lead to the awakening of the church in the West, allowing for a new tide of God’s redeeming love to move across our nation and heal our land.” In the way of Jesus you become a disciple who will love, live and serve like him. Love, Live, Serve like Jesus.

Book Synopsis The Path: Breaking the Chains of Resentment: The Power of Forgiveness in the Church by : Sharon L. Cooper-Jones
Download or read book The Path: Breaking the Chains of Resentment: The Power of Forgiveness in the Church written by Sharon L. Cooper-Jones and published by Sharon L. Cooper-Jones. This book was released on 2024-01-15 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preface: Welcome to Chapter 1: "The Power of Forgiveness." Within these pages, we embark on a profound exploration into the dynamics of forgiveness and its transformative potential within the church community. This chapter serves as a gateway to understanding a critical aspect of spiritual growth and unity—the impact of resentment and the essential journey toward embracing forgiveness. Resentment, a formidable emotion, has the potential to cast shadows within the sacred walls of a church. Its insidious presence can sow divisions, impede spiritual development, and obstruct the very essence of forgiveness. As we delve into this sub-chapter, our focus is on comprehending "Understanding Resentment in the Church." By unraveling the layers of resentment and acknowledging its detrimental effects, we aim to pave the way for the restoration of love, compassion, and unity within the church. Resentment often arises from a myriad of sources—unmet expectations, perceived injustices, or unresolved conflicts. These emotions can be rooted in disagreements over leadership, differences in theological interpretations, or personal grievances among members. Left unaddressed, resentment becomes a corrosive force, eroding the foundations of trust and unity that are vital for a thriving church community. As we navigate the intricate web of resentment, we confront the consequences it imposes on the church. The erosion of trust, breakdown in communication, and the emergence of gossip create an environment that is antithetical to the teachings of grace, love, and forgiveness. In understanding the root causes and consequences of resentment, we lay the groundwork for breaking free from its chains and unlocking the true power of forgiveness. This chapter invites you to reflect on the transformative journey from resentment to forgiveness—a journey that holds the promise of renewed unity, spiritual growth, and a flourishing church community. May these pages serve as a guide on the path towards embracing forgiveness, unlocking the profound power it holds within the sacred spaces of the church.

Download or read book Broken Chains written by Randy Nurmi and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2011-01-14 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Broken Chains: Principle to Overcoming Addiction is written for the individual who is caught in a lifestyle of bondage to sin and fear. It is also designed for anyone who has a loved one struggling with sins of this type and have a desire to educate, assist, and support him according to Gods Word. This book does not focus on motivational methods, but instead focuses on the foundational truths of Gods Word and its total sufficiency for solving all the problems facing man. This books purpose is to build hope for both the struggling addict and those who desire to help him through practical principles of faith, hope, and love through Jesus Christ. Individuals who are lost in the valley of addiction frequently ask God to remove the painful trial and its consequences for selfish reasons. Nevertheless, this time of trial, tribulation, and revelation of their true nature and character can be grasped as an opportunity to explore and expand their newfound faith and freedom in Christ. The hope for these lessons would be to build an understanding and confidence for tackling everyday issues and provide encouragement to persevere as trials are overcome and victories are achieved on an every day basis. Success in overcoming the battle of addiction will depend on the individual acknowledging Christs ability alone to set him free from bondage to sin and fear, thereby breaking the chains of addictions. After 20 years of suffering, being full of pride and arrogance, lost in a dark and lonely world, and having the experience of trying time and time again to change myself through people, places, and things, I finally had a solitary but failed attempt at suicide. Christ Jesus was finally allowed to pour down His Mercy upon me and I was given the gifts of His Grace, Faith, Repentance, and Redemption and I was changed into a new man that was created according to God in true righteousness and holiness. It was after this event that I received my calling from the Lord and He gifted me with a tremendous healing of the mind and the ability to remember His Holy Scriptures. I have sought to make Christ Jesus my Lord known to all men as I have come to know Him ever since. I have had the privilege of having the Lord educate and equip me for the last 25 years as a Pastor. The Lord has used numerous individuals, various Biblical courses and trainings, drug and alcohol education, and time of my own suffering in Christ to expand His purpose and plan for my life. Psalm 12:6-7: The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. You shall keep them, O Lord, You shall preserve them from this generation forever.
Book Synopsis God Is Not Mad at You by : Joyce Meyer
Download or read book God Is Not Mad at You written by Joyce Meyer and published by FaithWords. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When bestselling author Joyce Meyer posted "God's not mad at you" on Facebook, she didn't anticipate that her words would trigger thousands of responses of gratitude and relief. Apparently many Christians struggle to reconcile their perception of God as both a loving parent and a stern judge. In GOD IS NOT MAD AT YOU, Joyce will help those who haven't truly received God's love because they are afraid of His anger and disapproval. She explores the source of this confusion, so His genuine character can be better understood and His love can be experienced on an entirely new level. Chapter titles include: * Perfectionism and Approval * The Pain of Rejection * Guilt and Shame * Developing Your Potential * Run to God, Not from Him * Getting Comfortable with God "It is important for us to remember that God's anger is directed toward our sinful behavior rather than toward us. If you feel guilty right now and are afraid that God is mad at you, then you are miserable. But your misery can be immediately changed to peace and joy by simply believing God's Word. Believe that God loves you and that He is ready to show you mercy and forgive you completely. Believe that God has a good plan for your life. Believe that God is not mad at you!" --Joyce Meyer
