God Is Calling You to Something Big! Are You Ready for It? Have you set limits on what you “think” God can do in your life? It’s often easier to believe God has big things in mind for other people than to imagine He has great plans and bountiful blessings for us. Why is that? Usually, it’s a result of limited thinking. All around us, we encounter limitations. Some are imposed on us by other people and society; others are inflicted on us by our own damaged mind-set and behavior. We believe, “I’m not qualified,” “My resources aren’t sufficient,” “I’m all alone in this,” or “I’m not anointed.” God wants to completely turn your outlook around. He is a big God who majors in the miraculous, and He wants to help you develop limitless thinking that will enable you to fulfill a God-sized vision. Our God-given potential, our zeal for advancing His kingdom, our divine dreams--these areas of our lives are meant to be without limitation. But most of us haven't prepared for living a limitless life. Having overcome challenging personal, emotional, and financial limitations, Danette Crawford takes you through each step of the process of removing hindrances, enlarging your vision, and increasing your expectations of the big things God wants to do in you, through you, and for you. Thoroughly biblical and practical, Danette shows you how to adopt and maintain limitless thinking for a lifetime of limitless living. Get ready, because your life without limits is about to begin!

All have sinned and all stand at a guilty distance from God. It was God who initiated “come out.” Everyone has to come out from the darkness and into the light of Jesus Christ. Come out and separate yourself from evil deeds and worldly lust and walk in the newness of life in Jesus Christ. In I Was Born Gay, author JonPual McLurék presents a discussion of what gay people say and what the Bible states of marriage and being born gay. She provides Biblical proof of God’s expectations. This discussion: - challenges people to examine what is being asked of them by the LGBT community; - helps believers and non-believers realize the numerous scriptures that support God’s view of the matter and none for the effeminate; - shows it’s not a question of freedom and rights already freely given by God to every man, but it’s a battle of good versus evil; and - provides an understanding that the real problem is not homosexuality, but the ones who allow it to permeate society. I Was Born Gay challenges judges, religious leaders, politicians, effeminates, atheists, and this nation of God-fearing citizens to make a change for the better. The Sanctity of Marriage “Activist judges, however, have begun redefining marriage by court order, without regard for the will of the people and their elected representatives. On an issue of such great consequence, the people’s voice must be heard. If judges insist on forcing their arbitrary will upon the people, the only alternative left to the people would be the constitutional process. Our nation must defend the sanctity of marriage.” –President George W. Bush (January 20, 2004) LifeSiteNews.com

This is a book about the struggle of Orthodox Christianity to establish a clear identity and mission within modernity--Western modernity in particular. As such, it offers penetrating insight into the heart and soul of Orthodoxy. Yet it also lends unusual, unexpected insight into the struggle of all the churches to engage modernity with conviction and integrity. Written by one of the leading voices of contemporary Orthodox theology, The Orthodox Reality is a treasury of the Orthodox response to the challenges of Western culture in order to answer secularism, act ecumenically, and articulate an ethics of the family that is both faithful to tradition and relevant to our day. The author honestly addresses Orthodoxy's strengths and shortcomings as he introduces readers to Orthodoxy as a living presence in the modern world.

This book is a collection of scholarly essays that place Dietrich Bonhoeffer in conversation with the Dutch Neo-Calvinist tradition of Abraham Kuyper and Herman Bavinck. The essays engage in theological ethics and historical theology in an effort to frame ongoing dialogue in relation to issues of public theology. While Bonhoeffer and Neo-Calvinism represent distinct theological traditions, there is value in placing their respective ideas in conversation for the purposes of creative insight, theological understanding, and practical application. Contributors represent perspectives from North America and the Netherlands. Taken together, the essays offer an important contribution to this unique field of theological inquiry.

Children's ministry is being pushed and pulled by education models, statistical analysis, growth techniques, cultural change, and technological advancements. But with the weight of all these influences, little attention is given to what ought to be the most important influence in molding the shape of children's ministry: the Word of God. Whether your children's ministry is in your home or in your church, the purpose of this book is to enable you to build a children's ministry that is rock-solid, modeled on scriptural teachings. Each chapter of this book starts with a Scripture passage--a "rock" for your foundation. The Scripture passage specifically refers to children or ministering to them. Each chapter contains a thorough discussion of implications and applications.
