Book Description
Our Sun is 26,000 light years away from the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, and when we consider the size of the Milky Way Galaxy and view the relative size of the planets, it puts the Earth into true perspective. However, it also magnifies Who, What or Which Presence or Force(s) was/were in the "Beginning", which is responsible for all the celestial bodies and all life of any kind in this, and/or any other universe. -- This book is really about one individual's faith that whoever, whatever or whichever was in the "Beginning" is of a Divine Nature, to which he has assigned the term "God". It is about a Divinity that transcends the limited God as discussed in Romans 1, which was made to resemble the "corruptible man", which displeased God and lead to unseemly punishment for humans. It is about faith in "God" of our, and every, universe. -- The author believed then, and more so now, that everything that happened was exactly as "God" wished it to be. He contends that events were used to encourage man to be innovative, curious, loving, caring, and also the opposites of all these characteristics and others, so that progress of civilization could be accomplished, which would lead to an, eventual, better human to populate the world of the future and, perhaps, to live in harmony with other life forms from other stellar bodies. The book is about a "God" that members of all religions could believe in, and which could be viewed, satisfactorily, even by some disbelievers. -- This is the author's second non-fiction work.

Equipped for Every Good Work
Author: Dan R. Dick
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1610972406
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
All scripture is inspired by God . . . so that everyone who belongs to God may be proficient, equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Equipped for Every Good Work is a four-tool process that can help you discover and develop the spiritual gifts, spirituality types, interaction styles, and working preferences of each person in your congregation. Begun in 1988, the Profile of Congregational Leadership has been used in approximately two hundred different churches of seven denominations in settings of all shapes, sizes, locations, and racial-ethnic backgrounds. Equipped for Every Good Work is not intended as a tool to help congregations assign members to jobs on committees, boards, councils, or task forces. Instead, it is a process of discovery and discussion of the gifts, graces, and abilities of the leadership core of a local congregation. It shifts the attention off of what we do and on to who we are as called, gifted, and empowered people of God. Through self-exploration and discovery, each person can gain new insights about what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, and the entire congregation can grow as a faith-forming spiritual community. Leaders--A special website (equippedforeverygoodwork.wordpress.com) provides access to all the handouts, presentation materials, reference materials, and interpretive aids.

The Voice of Truth
Author: Neville Earl Walker
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1456827189
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
Church fellowship and witnessing are two necessary everyday activities that are practiced by the Church that helps to sustain its existence by perfecting brethren in righteousness and in winning souls for the Lord. These activities were promoted by Jesus Christ for the ongoing work of salvation and for unity of spirit in the bond of peace. Thus fellowship and witnessing are mandatory for spiritual and corporeal growth. The togetherness provides mutual help and mentoring in support of being edified concerning the gospel and in performing the will and work of the Lord. Without this togetherness in working and living for the Lord among the body of Believers, spiritual and corporeal growth would be lacking and there would be a great possibility for the extinction of the Church. Thus, the only wise God instituted fellowship and witnessing to uphold the need for the Church, which is the only vehicle instituted to keep us separated from the world through righteous standards with the intent to transport us into eternity. This association also make it possible with the help of the Holy Spirit, to defeat The gates of hell (evil opposition) by human intensity in the Churchs war against demonic forces (Mat. 11:12).
