The lives of our children are being destroyed by drugs, gangs, and so often the loneliness of growing up without a mom or a dad. Many moms and dads have given up all hope of a better life for their families. People all over our world, are hungry not only for food, but also for a stabilizing force in their lives. Our mission as Christians is to bring the love, mercy, and saving grace of Christ to the hurting, the hungry, the thirsty, and the helpless, on planet earth. To impact the world in which we live, we must first focus our faith firmly on God, who created our world. When our lives are focused on Christ's example, and we accept the great mission that He gave us, the world will become a better place for everyone. My dear brothers and sisters, dare to reach out and become the hands and arms of Jesus, and to embrace the hurting and brokenhearted of this world with His love. There are people dying every day all over the earth without Christ's saving grace or mercy. We have Christ's love living within us. Brothers and sisters, we must dare to give it away.

FOCUS IS IMPORTANT. The better your focus, the more clearly you can see. But it is important that your focus be on the right thing because your direction will follow your focus. When your focus is clear and on the right thing, then you will be heading in the right direction. The gospel of our faith is the good news that the kingdom of God has come and Jesus is the Messiah, God’s anointed King. He is the focus of our faith — not only the One upon whom we fix our attention but also the One through whom we view the whole world, to see more clearly and understand God’s purpose with greater wisdom. That is what Paul’s letter to the Jesus believers at Colosse is about. This book is a study of that letter. In it you will learn about: • The blessing and inheritance God has for you • The divine power trio: faith, hope and love • A walk that is worthy, a life that is pleasing and fruitful • Knowing God more and more • How all things hold together • Where all divine fullness dwells • The reconciliation of heaven and earth • The good news of God’s pleasure • The revelation of divine glory in you • Being rooted and built up in Jesus • The powers that have been disarmed • Living from a higher realm • The Word that qualifies us • Clothes for your new life • New life at home and in the community of faith • The spiral of watchful, thankful prayer • Walking in wisdom… and more These are “bite-size” studies to help guide you through Paul’s letter, a little at a time. At the end of each study are focus questions to help you think further about the truths Paul brings. They are open-ended questions to allow for maximum personal reflection and group discussion.

"Ehrlich’s insightful self-help guide will resonate with Christians wishing to streamline an overstuffed life."—Publishers Weekly Logically, we all know our purpose in life is not wrapped up in accumulating possessions, wealth, power, and prestige—Jesus is very clear about that—but society tells us otherwise. Christian Minimalism attempts to cut through our assumptions and society’s lies about what life should look like and invites readers into a life that Jesus calls us to live: one lived intentionally, free of physical, spiritual, and emotional clutter. Written by a woman who simplified her own life and practices these principles daily, this book gives readers a fresh perspective on how to live out God’s grace for us in new and exciting ways and live out our faith in a way that is deeply satisfying.

Have you ever wondered why Christianity is declining in America? Since the 1980's, many American congregations have been very focused on "doing church" better. A lot of effort and resources have been poured into worship and ministry programs, and they have significantly improved yet Christianity has been steadily declining. Could it be that "doing church better" is not the answer to stop the decline of Christianity in America? Could it be that we have paid too much attention to what's happening at church and not enough attention to what's happening at home? Do we care that many church goers are living, acting, dressing, behaving one way at church and a complete different way at home and as a result, children raised in those environments are later leaving the church at an all time high rate? In The Faith@Home Focused Church Pastor Holmen is going to challenge church leaders to consider three very important questions; Do we want the home to be the primary place where faith is lived and nurtured?

When you open this book, you will find and discover that you aren’t just reading, but you’re on a lifetime journey with God, through his Son Jesus Christ! You are walking out your Christian faith through the eyes of an everyday believer. You will discover how he responded to the various trials of everyday life, which affect us all. You will also discover how through the Bible, applied to everyday struggles, can change how you perceive a situation and also change your situation. The Bible declares in John chapter 1 verses 1–5, “In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him nothing was made that was made. In him was life and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not comprehend it.” This scripture simply means that when you apply scripture to your everyday problems, through prayer, then you’re putting God in your situation because he is his word. Hopefully, while reading this book, you will be inspired to walk with faith and not by sight.

The concept of My One Word is simple. Lose the long list of resolutions—all your sweeping promises to change—and do something about one thing this year instead of nothing about everything. Choose just one word that represents what you most hope God will do in you, and focus on it for an entire year. This single act will force clarity and concentrate your efforts. As you focus on your word over an extended period of time, you position yourself for God to form your character at a deep, sustainable level. Growth and change will result. Author Mike Ashcraft, who has led his megachurch through this My One Word project for more than five years, and Proverbs 31 Ministries author and speaker Rachel Olsen, who has lived it, are encouraging, insightful, good-humored, yet realistic in this enjoyable read. Their stories of growth and change through My One Word will keep you motivated. Throughout the book you'll also find words and stories of people just like you who have joined the My One Word movement and discovered the power of just one word. Includes discussion questions for use with the small-group video curriculum, My One Word: A DVD Study (sold separately).

What transformation would happen if we could combine the best of liberal politics with psychology? Awakening our Faith in the Future investigates the avenues for creating a new branch of psychology, a transformative political psychology. In the past, political psychology has focused directly on analysis and knowledge acquisition, rather than on interventions that transform self and culture. A transformative political psychology combines the best of traditional social science with the transformative intent of clinical psychology in order to create a new political culture. Peter T. Dunlap suggests that while liberals focus intently outside of themselves on changing the world, those with psychological interests focus much more internally on changing themselves. In this book, he argues that by combining political liberalism and psychology, and encouraging psychologists to develop cultural learning practices based on ideas of self-knowledge, there is opportunity to transform our political culture. Divided into five parts, this book explores: stories of political destiny questions of development opportunities for political development a speculative theory of cultural evolution practices of a political psychologist. This scholarly text uses personal experiences and the stories of progressive political leaders as pathways for addressing political problems, making it ideal reading for professionals and students in the fields of both politics and psychology as well as for activists interested in the future of liberalism.

This volume is a biblical theological critique of the Apostles' Creed and a development of the role of the Holy Spirit in the church, the world, and the personal experience of Christian faith. It addresses the creed as a historic document, an artifact of early Christian theological development, and a long-standing guide for the form and content of that faith tradition. This book is an appreciation of the Apostles' Creed in terms of its persistent pastoral effect in the church. It is also a criticism of aspects of the creed that are unbiblical and crafted for political or extraneous theological reasons by the bishops of the ancient ecumenical councils.

In Luke 17 the apostles asked Jesus, "Increase our faith." He answered that if they had faith like a mustard seed, then a tree would obey them. This verse is often misunderstood. As this book shows, the Bible's 5 verses about a mustard seed emphasize its growth from a tiny seed into a large plant that provides for others. These verses do not teach that a tiny amount of faith does miracles: they show faith that grows greatly from its seed-like start, and show the great growth of the Kingdom of God from its tiny start. Faith is a trusting relationship with God that includes His miracles and much more. Little faith is being more like a mustard seed than its tree. In Luke the apostles had mustard seed faith. In Acts they had mustard tree faith. This book shows from Luke how God worked to transform their faith into mustard tree faith. Faithful believers in Jesus can see how God works to transform their own faith in the same way, and can see how to work with Him for this blessing.
