Discipleship Developing a Heart for God by Paul Perkins Pdf

Discipleship is a process that begins at a person's profession of faith in Jesus and ends when he/she enters into the gates of heaven. It is a journey that takes the disciple through peaks and valleys, joys and struggles, all for the end of becoming complete in Christ.The Apostle Paul said that we get to know Christ through the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His suffering. The disciple rejoices in the power that has conquered sin and death, as his faith is deepened as he/she learns to depend on God through the pain of life. It isn't an easy path and the way is narrow. God seldom leads in a straight line. What the disciple thinks his future will be is more often than not completely different than he could have ever imagined. Yet, that is the richness of faith. The disciple walks in the Spirit and depends on His strength and wisdom."I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year, 'give me a lamp that I might find my way.' And he replied. 'Put your hand in the hand of God. He is better than a lamp, and safer than a known way;" (author unknown).As you work through this manual my prayer is that you will search the Scriptures and develop a heart for God. To that end, enjoy the journey.

Hope for the Hurting by Tony Evans Pdf

Life is painful. Everyone's story comes with unique challenges, difficulties, bumps, and bruises that leave you lost and drowning in their wake. It could be a financial disaster, a health issue, a broken relationship, or the loss of a loved one. Dr. Tony Evans, bestselling author and pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship, understands life's hardships firsthand. In a span of less than two years, he lost his brother, sister, brother-in-law, two nieces, father, and wife. At the same time, both of his daughters received cancer diagnoses. In the wake of all this pain, Dr. Evans had to put into practice, at the deepest levels, the truths he has preached about God for more than forty years. God's Word doesn't promise us a life free from pain and trouble. It promises us something else—Someone else. Someone who will walk with us through all of life's trials and troubles. There is hope for the hurting: His name is Jesus.

Renovation of the Heart by Dallas Willard Pdf

As Christians, we know that we are new creations in Jesus. So we try to act differently, hoping this will make us more like Him. But changing our outward behavior doesn’t change our hearts. Only by God’s grace can we be transformed internally. Renovation of the Heart lays a biblical foundation for understanding what best-selling author Dallas Willard calls the “transformation of the spirit”—a divine process that “brings every element in our being, working from inside out, into harmony with the will of God.” This fresh approach to spiritual growth explains the biblical reasons why Christians need to undergo change in six aspects of life: thought, feeling, will, body, social context, and soul. Willard also outlines a general pattern of transformation in each area, not as a sterile formula but as a practical process that you can follow without the guilt or perfectionism so many Christians wrestle with. Don’t settle for complacency. Accept the challenge Renovation of the Heart offers to become an intentional apprentice of Jesus Christ, changing daily as you walk with Him.
