Ministry Time

Along the way, and with an entertaining teacher’s clarity, Mabry recounts the stories of many Christian mystics in a simple way and aptly relates them to modern times. He also enriches each chapter with questions and answers to simplify points, as well as experiential practices to help listeners embark upon the mystical journey themselves. In Growing into God, listeners will learn the discipline of growing the soul into God - shedding illusory identities, deepening prayer, seeing God in all things and acting as Christ in the world.

It's not what I lost. It's what I've found. I was only 17, just a girl, when God asked me for everything I had...my health, my hopes, my independence, my dreams, my freedom, and my mobility. He took it all. I was so angry with him that I tried to push him away. God relentlessly held me more closely. Looking back, 40 years later, I understand that God has changed and healed me - my heart and my mind - in the most unexpected ways, giving me rubies of his wisdom about an unbending faith and an experience of his mercy I can now tell you about.

Like so many saints before him, Samuel Rutherford did his best work while he was imprisoned for the gospel. While in exile from his hometown, he wrote hundreds of letters to his friends and members of his congregation. Christians of all walks have drawn strength from Rutherford's letters, which were printed several years after his death in 1661 and have been called “the most remarkable series of devotional letters that the literature of the Reformed churches can show.” The Loveliness of Christ is a collection of short excerpts from these letters.

The Book of Revelation is probably the most frightening and perplexing book of the New Testament. Full of signs and symbols, predictions and warnings, it speaks of extraordinary times marked by falling stars, a bloodcovered moon, the collapse of empires, and widespread havoc.

He gives you three keys to understanding the Book of Revelation.

Most pastors pray for a healthy and vibrant church, but many find themselves frustrated because they lack direction and feel as though they are spinning their wheels. They struggle to correct unhealthy patterns or do not have fresh vision for their ministry. John K. Jenkins can relate. The first church he attended is best described as a shack with a bell and a steeple. When he accepted his first senior pastoral role, he ministered to 35 people on a good Sunday. Today, Pastor Jenkins welcomes more than 11,000 worshipers to Sunday services, and thousands more participate virtually.

You have superpowers. It’s time to change the world. Yes, I know, that sounds quite sensationalistic and like unrealistic hype. How sad that is! You may not feel like you have such awesome power burning through you. That’s OK. It’s how you handle that power that matters. Too many resort to living a life that looks little different than that which atheists live. They presume themselves to be limited by their human strength and ability—and sadly, so do many Christians. Others are quite different. They are determined to let the fire of God blast through them in the midst of their frail...

At first, Ken Abraham wrote off his mother’s changes in behavior as quirks that just come with old age. There was memory loss, physical decline, hygiene issues, paranoia, and uncharacteristic attitudes. He soon realized that dementia had changed her life - and his family’s - forever. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, an estimated 5.4 million Americans of all ages have Alzheimer’s disease. That’s one in eight older Americans. More than likely, that figure includes someone you know and love.

This book contains six of Charles Finney's sermons. Each one powerful and sharp and truly deadly to the flesh. He was an amazing preacher and his legacy lives on. May this book encourage you onward to holiness and fervent passion for Jesus Christ, for why else listen to this book? We should desire more of god and each bit of food we take in from the great men of god of old should only stir us to greater spiritual maturity.

Jesus’ death paid for our sins – the guilt, the death, and the punishment. Jesus does not repay the man who got ripped off when we stole from him. According to the Bible, the person who comes to the Lord in repentance is to pay the one he stole from the value of the stolen goods plus one fifth of the value. But what if it is a candy bar you took twenty years ago? The amount stolen and the time since the theft do not make it yours.

There are many times in life you can lose your way, your faith weakens, and you can’t put your finger on why? You're a gentle, loving person and don't deserve life to pass you by.

These messages were recorded by Anne, a lay apostle in May through September 2004. They contain messages from Jesus and also Anne's recordings of mystical experiences she was given. In this volume Jesus seeks to pull us close to his heart. But in this time, Jesus is suffering with so many souls living their lives far away from him, so those close to him will suffer as well with Jesus. He invites us to rest in his heart so that he may show us his pain and his joy. He does this through his messages in this volume.
