The and Spiritual Vital Signs of a Christian Life by Jr. Jimmie Hicks Pdf

"The format is simple, direct, full of supporting scripture and easy to read. I like the way Jimmie approached the Fruit of the Spirit as the primary responsibility of the believer to be aware of, check and make adjustments to his own vital signs. I think he has a winner here. It's a great personal or group teaching tool."Bishop Edward T. CookChurch of God In ChristOhio North First Ecclesiastical JurisdictionThis was very easy reading. I am a Visual Learner and the Biblical principles associated with life applications as Christians was vividly portrayed as I read. I envision your book as a 'must" for a new converts/new members class assignment.Mother Thelma H. Giles-ButtsJurisdictional Supervisor of WomenOhio North First Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction"For those times when we need a spiritual "check-up" "Vital Signs" is the perfect remedy. It dispenses prescriptions from the biblical pharmacy that are guaranteed to heal the sin sick soul."Loretta McKinleyMusic Director, Mt Zion of OakwoodPastor Jimmie Hicks, Jr. gives us in this book the Biblical tools to diagnosis and maintain a healthy spiritual life, it's a must read.Cecil Gamble, Jr.Pastor.Greater Mt. Calvary C.O.G.I.C.Just as maintaining good physical health requires periodic monitoring of vital signs, maintaining spiritual health requires monitoring of spiritual vital signs. This very sound book by Pastor Jimmie Hicks, Jr., reveals the heart of true pastor. It unpacks the word in Gal 5:22-23 on the "fruit of the Spirit" to be used as a practical tool for periodically assessing one's spiritual well-being and growth.

The Spiritual Vital Signs of a Christian Marriage by Rev Jimmie Hicks Pdf

When we begin to discuss Vital signs, we are referring to the designated standards for a healthy life. In the Medical profession, there are numeric standards for the vital signs of a healthy person. Doctors are able to use these vital signs to diagnosis if something is wrong with our physical bodies. If a health issue is discovered, the doctor will locate an appropriate prescription that is designed to improve the performance of the weak vital sign.Just like for our physical vital signs, there are standards that demonstrate a healthy spiritual life.We find in Galatians 5:22-23 the spiritual vital signs of a Christian life are the fruit of the Spirit.Galatians 5:22-23 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such, there is no law.As we begin to discuss the Christian marriage, we begin with the assumption that we have all read ¿the Spiritual Vital Signs of a Christian Life¿ We further assume that the values discussed in that book, are important to us and that we are seeking to cultivate the fruit of the spirit in our personal lives.MARRIAGE VITAL SIGNSThe process for identifying ¿the Spiritual Vital Signs of a Christian Marriage¿ deals with revealing and understanding the legitimate power needed in every marriage that will make it a success.Once a Christian marriage is created, it also needs to be nurtured by constantly checking the spiritual vital sign of LOVE.Most people don¿t know what to accept as love or even how to love according to the word of God. This is why we compensate for our spouse and use the phrase ¿(s)he loves me in their own way¿. As Christians however, there is only one way.

Eternal Life Vital Signs by Calvin Partain Pdf

"Test yourselves to make sure you are solid in the faith. Don't drift along taking everything for granted. Give yourselves regular checkups. You need firsthand evidence, not mere hearsay, that Jesus Christ is in you. Test it out. If you fail the test, do something about it." (2 Cor.13:5, The Message Bible) "My purpose in writing is simply this: that you who believe in God's Son will know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you have eternal life, the reality and not the illusion." (1Jo 5:13, The Message Bible) The epistle of 1 John identifies the vital signs of eternal life. They provide a diagnostic tool that will reveal our true spiritual condition. We can accurately test ourselves for the presence, or absence, of eternal life. Also, the strength, or weakness, of each vital sign reveals the quality of our spiritual health and where we need to take emergency action. Calvin Partain was born to parents who were devout believers in Jesus Christ. He was saved in his childhood years. When a senior in high school God made it clear to him that his calling in life was to be a pastor-teacher. His formal training includes the normal College, Seminary, and countless seminars and conferences. But his main preparation for writing this book has come through more than fifty years of serving people as their pastor. Calvin is theologically conservative. His conviction is that the Bible is God's inerrant revelation of Himself to man, written by divinely inspired men. Calvin has been married to his high school sweetheart for over fifty years. God gave Calvin and his wife Marion two sons and a daughter, two grand-daughters and three grand-sons. One son and a grand-daughter are in heaven. "This book is essential for anyone that wants to inventory their own spiritual health, grow greatly in Christ, or nurture others in doing all of the above." Dr. Keith E. Eitel Dean of the Roy Fish School of Evangelism and Missions Professor of Missions Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

Vital Signs by Ken Benjamin Pdf

Everyone knows disciplemaking in churches is important - vital, even. But how do we move from good intentions to real transformation? Drawing on LICC's engagement with thousands of UK churches and his decades of experience as a church leader, Ken Benjamin offers 20 ways to put whole-life discipleship at the heart of our churches - 20 vital signs of disciplemaking life. Together, they'll help you grow a culture that equips people to live out their faith in every part of life, not just through church activities. The key is not to add to our stretched to-do lists, but to permeate everything we already do with new, refreshing perspective. Whole-life disciplemaking should be embedded rather than added, built in rather than bolted on. When this happens, the effect is life-changing - not only for congregations and church leaders but for the individuals, organisations and places they seek to serve. Vital Signs works in tandem with LICC's online assessment tool, training videos and resources to help leadership teams assess, embed and maintain whole-life discipleship in the churches they serve.

Your Church Can Grow by C. Peter Wagner Pdf

Is your church healthy and growing or stagnant and dying? If your church is afflicted with remnant theology, spiritual naval gazing, pastoral timidity, hyper-cooperativism, or terminal ethnikitis, changes are it's already dying on the vine. On the other hand, if your church is growing it's probably ad healthy church. "Healthy churches, like healthy people," says the author, "exhibit certain vital signs." Wagner has his own list of 7 "signs" that lead can be taken as leading to good health and gives many illustrations of churches that exhibit and/or don't exhibit those signs. - Back cover.

Where’S Your Focus? by Joseph W. Segree Pdf

In a society consumed with materialistic indulgence and a relentless quest for contentment, Wheres Your Focus? reminds us that God does indeed have a purpose for each of our lives. Wheres Your Focus? has a threefold premise: Much of the busyness and activity of the Christian community may be without relevance or eternal significance. All ministry, indeed all activity in the church, must be evaluated in light of the biblical mandate to bear fruit for the kingdom of God. The church must never lose sight of the essentials: salvation of the lost, training of disciples, and building up of the body of Christ. A properly focused life is one that invests in the lives of people while maintaining a consistent walk with Jesus Christ through prayer and the application of Gods word. Wheres Your Focus? comes from the life and ministry of one who, for forty years, has traveled the parallel paths of Christian ministry and the practice of optometry. The inspiration and authority of the Bible, the lordship of Jesus Christ, and the reality of eternal life come through loud and clear. Where s Your Focus? is a welcomed resource for anyone who wants to live a life properly focused.
