Book Description
In our culture today, Christians all around America are finding it hard to battle the spiritual warfare that is all around us. We find ourselves busy, tired, frustrated, and to the point of burning out. Our tendency as humans is to fight our battles with our own strength. Like King Saul, we don't wait on the Lord. We rush into battle before God arrives, because we believe our gifts and talents are enough. This has become a common reaction in life until we are confronted with a storm so great that it reminds us of our need and dependence on Christ to intervene on our behalf. The purpose of Abide: Forty Days to Abounding Freedom in Christ is to remind us that we are to remain in Christ at all times. Jesus clearly told us in John 15 that He is the vine and we are the branches. The branches by themselves will not produce fruit. Only when we are connected to the vine will we be able to endure life's most difficult challenges. Even when we engage in the most mundane things in life, it is important that we learn abide and lean on Christ. Like Mary, who sat at the feet of Jesus, we must remain in Him so that His Spirit will exude from us and produce the good fruit. Abide is a forty-day devotional that teaches what it means to remain in Christ by highlighting eight different areas of practice. These areas include abiding in Christ, the Word, prayer, fire, suffering, hope, rest, and love.

Abide

Publisher: Liturgical Press
ISBN: 0814639585
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
In the Gospel of John Jesus directs us, Abide in me, as I abide in you. This book is an invitation to make the Word of God your home through the practice of lectio divina .Macrina Wiederkehr, OSB, encourages you to turn the words of Scripture over in your heart as a plough turns over the soil to welcome the seed. In these scriptural meditations, the piercing reflective questions and personal prayers lead the reader into a deeper relationship with the Divine. Aware that drawing near the Word of God requires a special kind of presence, the author invites you to breathe in the Word, wait before the Word, walk through the pages of Scripture as a pilgrim, and, finally, abide in an intimate and transforming communion with God. The format of the book lends itself not only to daily personal prayer and reflection, but to group faith sharing as well. Macrina Wiederkehr, OSB, (1939-2020), author of the popular A Tree Full of Angels (HarperCollins) and Seven Sacred Pauses (Ave Maria), was well known for her creative spiritual writings and retreat ministry. She was also a regular columnist for Stepping Stones, the Little Rock Scripture Study newsletter. She lived a monastic life for fifty years and made her home with the Sisters of St. Scholastica, a Benedictine monastery in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Writing and retreat ministry were a part of her evolving call. Visit her personal blog at http://macrina-underthesycamoretree.blogspot.com/.

A Study Guide for Andrew Murray's Abide in Christ (Leader's Guide)
Author: Stanford Murrell
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781542328456
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
Many Christians long for a successful ministry, a higher spiritual life, and a closer personal relationship with the living Lord. The secret to such an abundant life is to abide in Christ. While the concept might sound mystical, it is really very practical in application, when rightly understood. Andrew Murray amplifies the words of Jesus regarding His commandment to abide in Him. The reader is taken deeper into the mysteries of the soul and communion with Jesus. The objective of abiding in Christ is to bring glory to God the Father-and then for the believer to bear much spiritual fruit for the cause and Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ. Come, then, and study some grand thoughts on the blessed life of fellowship with the Son of God. In this Guide, you will encounter "Review," "Reflection," and "Memorization" sections, which are designed for evaluation and discussion with a student by the Leader (or Mentor). The "Heart Work" and "Personal Application" sections are designed for personal honesty and self-analysis. After all, as the apostle Paul reminds us, "For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged" (1 Cor. 11:31). By the end of this study both the Leader and the Student should be familiar with no less than six basic Bible doctrines, three spiritual laws, and nine spiritual secrets. If you want to know what it means to abide in Christ, this is a must-have book.

Book Description
On August 14, 2011, when I was in Kandergrund in the Bernese Highlands in Switzerland an important connection became very clear to me. I recognized a spiritual cause for why we are losing part of our youth. I was very shocked. I thought of my children and grandchildren. Since then I have been intensively occupied with this subject.Now I believe that the same spiritual cause is behind many of our problems; specifically the personal problems, in the local churches and the world-wide church. It is the lack of the Holy Spirit. If this is the cause, then we should urgently address this issue. If the cause can be eliminated or considerably reduced, then many problems will become superfluous or will be resolved.
