What a joy to be allowed to bring this book on 1st and 2nd Corinthians to the Church. These two books have at times been misused and misinterpreted.What great truth these Epistles give us as they probably have more to offer this generation of churches than any previous generation.It is my hope that it will be an encouragement and help to every reader!

Samuel Clemens, better known as Mark Twain was one that knew how to use words. He said, in his The Wit and Wisdom of Mark Twain, "The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter. 'tis the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.'" Faith is the right word but it must be used correctly.Faith as a subject has been generalized to the degree of unrecognizably fostering a disconnect to its Biblical foundation. There is a Biblical context that has been skewed by modern attitudes accommodating the emotionally felt, favored over the spiritually received.There has been coming a resurgent demand for clear correspondence concerning the question, "What is faith?" A generalized answer will not suffice. Anchored by Faith will provide that correspondence:• It is informative, it encourages, it teaches, and it provides insight into the Biblical concept of faith• It is written for those spirited secular seekers; energized to investigate.• It's written for that confused Christian community puzzled by an inward question of their faith and their desire for answers.Anchored by Faith introduces the reader to an insightful and Biblical understanding of God, His love, and faith in action.
We live in a day when manhood is under attack. To be manly is disparaged. The world seems to be diminishing men, while God calls on them to be strong godly leaders in every area of society. To watch certain ads might suggest a man is incapable of purchasing a car, investing for the future, evaluating an insurance plan or even knowing how to read properly.No Man should succumb to such ideas or recoil from his God given role. In creation, God gave Adam the position of leader, while Eve was created to be his helper. The woman is by no means a second class citizen or second class Christian, but her highest calling is to stand by a man, walk by his side and encourage him to live a life and testimony worthy of her support and assistance.A man needs to know God, love God, serve God and seek the will of God for his earthly life. God looks for such men and is pleased to use them for His glory. Nothing is more exciting for a Christian man than to sense that God has a specific purpose for his life and then surrender his own will in search of that plan. Who knows what God might do with a life fully yielded to Him? -- E. Allen Griffith
Prayer - we all need to pray more and we need more people to pray for us, God can help us do this.1 Thessalonians 5:17, "pray without ceasing." This seems to be an impossible task when you are trying to go from little or no prayer to praying all the time. We need to start small and end up big. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.I pray that you will be superabundantly blessed!Ephesians 3:20, "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us."In Jesus Precious Holy Name,
Al comenzar esta "defensa del Evangelio" necesitamos conocer bien lo que es el Evangelio, y por qué necesitamos defenderlo. El Apóstol Pablo creía que en su día era necesario defender el Evangelio. Él escribió:Como me es justo sentir esto de todos vosotros, por cuanto os tengo en el corazón; y en mis prisiones, y en la defensa y confirmación del evangelio, todos vosotros sois participantes conmigo de la gracia.Y otra vez escribió diciendo:Pero los otros por amor, sabiendo que estoy puesto para la defensa del evangelio.Para poder defender el Evangelio, necesitamos ser salvos personalmente, y conocer profundamente la doctrina de la salvación. Debemos ser bien enseñados y aprender en todo aspecto del Evangelio. Debemos ser expertos en el tema de lo que Dios hizo para salvar a nuestras almas, como también lo que el hombre debe hacer para ser salvo.Al estudiar la doctrina de la salvación, que es el significado de la palabra soteriología, debemos entender que un conocimiento de esta doctrina nos definirá cómo predicamos el Evangelio.

God's design for the family is the ultimate good, and as mortals submit to God's plan for humanity, they will find that His plan is best. The frustration that is frequently expressed in our world, in various ways, is a not-so-silent testimony of the fact that man's way does not work….Godly, manly leadership…is what our world needs, today.This series of Bible studies will point out principles that ought to be applied in every man's life.
Historically, Christians have wondered what God's Holy Word, the Bible, is saying, when it says in Ephesians 1:4-5a, …he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world… Having predestinated us… Many have said that this means God exclusively chose and predestinated certain people to be saved and all others would be lost and go to hell. This has upset many, many Christians. Often, in frustration, they have said, "How can God be a loving God and create only some people to be predestinated to go to Heaven?" Others have said, "Well I read in 2 Peter 3:9, The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to usward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. When we don't understand the Word of God, it is not the Bible that has the problem, it is us. If we keep searching and praying, God can and will clear it up. You will see Predestination, Chosen, and Whosoever Will as one clearly taught doctrine.

There are an estimated 4,200 religions in the world. Many believe religion is the source of more conflict than any other element of society. Religionists have persecuted and killed millions of human beings using religion as both motivation and justification for their actions. However, religion will never die. It exists, because there is an emptiness in men's souls that cries out for meaning in life. There is frustration within the human condition that can only find hope in someone or something outside of itself. Some have described religion as man's effort to search for and find God. It has failed. Why? The failure is due to man forming a god of his own imagination, rather than submitting to his Creator.There is a true and living God. He transcends the world He created. He is distinct from it, but He is intimately involved with it. He cannot be found through the notions and conceptions of men, because they form their gods to their own liking. The true God has made Himself known through various revelations including prophesies found in the Ancient Scriptures. Those revelations have verified themselves in timely fulfillment of the promises made. Of greatest significance is the promise of one who would come to offer redemption to the world and hope for time and eternity for every individual. Each person must come to know The Promised One.
Proverbs 20:11 says, "Even a child is known by his doings." I became a Christian when I was six years old. In Sunday School I was taught to be kind, tenderhearted, friendly, helpful, thankful and to forgive. When we put God and others first we can serve God all of our life. We can be an encouragement to others and live with much joy in our heart.

From the days of Moses to the present, the Master Plan of God has always been the same; He gives the power of God to His prophets, a seemingly foolproof plan. But history shows that His plan is not complete with these alone. Something else is needed. The prophet Moses held the rod of God in his hands on the mountain top in Exodus chapter 17. He had the power of God as represented by the rod, but the hands of the solitary prophet lowered because of his weakness. He couldn't do it alone. Aaron and Hur saw his dilemma and held his hands steady and the victory was won! The plan of God was complete; the power of God plus the prophet of God plus the people of God! This book is about the people of God and their role; the Aarons and Hurs which come alongside their preacher and hold his hands steady. This book is about a plan of teamwork which has worked for the ages and still works today.Written by a veteran pastor and seasoned counselor of pastors it provides needed wisdom and practical biblical counseling for both pastor and church members. Addressing the almost forgotten needs of the pastor, it raises awareness of the shepherd-sheep relationship to a new level. Even the weakest of hands and the most frail of prophets see miracles happen when they have an Aaron and Hur beside them.
WORLD PEACE: Though it means different things to different people, it is a concept that man has strived for since history began. The WORLD AT PEACE in the not so distant future attempts to answer such questions as… What is peace? How is it defined? And most importantly, how is it obtained? By examining different political and religious philosophies through history, science, and especially the Holy Scriptures, Richard Milligan provides the only possible hope for this universal goal.
TEENAGERS CAN BE VERY HARD TO WORK WITH!In the time where teens are transitioning from childhood to adulthood, they can be one of the hardest people to work with. It is my prayer that this book would help youth directors, counselors, parents, or adults that simply have a passion and desire to work with teens.

They are rules for us to follow and live by in peace and harmony. We are to respect and love each other as Jesus teaches us.
