Losing the love of your beloved and knowing it is your own fault does not mean life has ended. An ending means a new begining follows. Sometimes a loss is just what you need to start a new and better course.

The answers to life's big decisions are rarely on a billboard. Through prayer, Christians ask the Lord for obvious answers that they hope will make it easier, but sometimes God's will is not all peaches and cream. After loyally following His will, it can be even more challenging for believers to then trust the outcome. In a recollection of her journey through a major decision in 2005, Rose Marie Martin offers inspirational insight into her family's dilemma whether to relocate to her husband's dream location or remain in a cushy comfort zone that was not as perfect as it appeared. As she details their eventual move and subsequent hiccups, Rose Marie reveals an unexpected twist that upset the family for months (and years to come). Did they misinterpret God's will, and would the damaging effects have been thwarted if they had not taken a leap of faith? The conclusion is a hindsight reflection determined nearly two decades later. To Stay or Go chronicles a couple's leap of faith as they attempted to discern whether God was prompting a big decision or if they were fulfilling a selfish longing.

"Showered By God's Love" details my trek through a spiritual wilderness that at times proved to be physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausting. When people and circumstances changed around me, affecting my peace and my steps, blessings and love from heaven sustained me, strengthened me, and renewed my focus. The Holy Spirit enabled me to continue one more day after one more day, culminating in another week, another month, another year. I began to understand how King David wrote the Psalms--soaring in victory and praising the Lord of the Battle for victories one day, and then seemingly crying from the depths of despair the next. Traveling through these pages, you may recognize a similar yo-yo pattern in your journey for more of Jesus. I share the steps I have traveled as encouragement from a co-laborer in seeking Christlikeness. I believe this is an ongoing goal in the lives of believers until we enter eternity.

For centuries one of the most debated topics in Christianity has been that of the Trinity. Entire denominations have been founded based on this subject alone. The only correct way to address the Trinity is that by the scripture itself, rather than the opinions of men. This book does exactly that. We validate the Trinity using the scripture to tackle the topic! More than 900 passages of scripture are reference in this book to confirm the doctrine of the Triune Godhead! Both the Old and New Testaments abound with plenty of scripture to substantiate that there are three that bear witness in heaven. In this book we find the answers in the entirety of the Word of God, beginning in Genesis and continuing to Revelation. Unlike many books which periodically touch the subject, this book is dedicated to the doctrine of the Trinity! - 33 Chapters! - May be used as a teaching series. - Organized by books of the Bible. - Explore the Trinity in both the Old and New Testaments. - Addresses arguments of the Trinity scripturally. - Learn Trinitarian Definitions and Terminology. - Sound Doctrinal Teaching. - Written in Layman's Terminology while the avid bible scholar will notice the "deep dive."

The book discusses concepts of constructive workplace dissent, psychological safety and joy at work. These concepts are supported by real workplace voices from Christian leaders who are trailblazing transformational leadership in their lives. Certain parts of the book use illustrations to emphasize key concepts covered herein. There is frequently a gap between the need for feedback and how to foster it constructively. Ideas make organizations thrive, but employees are frequently unable to communicate these ideas in ways that the leadership finds palatable. Management and leadership need to acquire the requisite skills to facilitate the entrenchment of constructive workplace criticism in their organizational cultures. The book proposes an EHIP framework leadership model for flourishing employee talents, whilst uncovering issues of Emotional well-being, Goodwill dissent and Human flourishing (EGH) in the workplace. Leadership models such as calling-based leadership, incarnational leadership, contextual leadership, shalom leadership, servant leadership, appreciative inquiry, and assets-based community development are covered, all anchored in the biblical verse Philippians 4: 8 - 9.

This book is about the TRUTH, the WAY and the LIFE for all who are weary and heavily burdened needing rest. It tells the truth about who we are in Jesus Christ regardless of what we are. This new discovery of who we are brings new light on our past, present and future. We all seek the truth about who we are, the world, suffering and happiness. We all seek to find the best way to live our lives to the fullest. Regardless of what we are, we are all seekers of the same things. We think there are different ways and answers to what we seek because we are different. Jesus Christ says there is One Truth, One Way, One Life: Jesus Christ Himself. The Truth in Jesus Christ is we are dead in Christ, and Christ lives in us. The Way in Jesus Christ is for our souls to go in every breath to Jesus who dwells in us. The Life in Jesus Christ is to live as a new creation. Being a new creation is to experience a new mind, emotion, and body. Being a new creation is to have an undivided heart. Being a new creation is to live in the eternal time of God. To live in the eternal time of God is to be free from our past, present and future. To live in the eternal time of God is for our soul and our spirit to be in union with Christ; no longer confined to the body and to the visible things of this world. But it is to live in heaven where there is perfect rest, here and now. And we enjoy to the fullest this perfect rest as God's holy, blameless and righteous children in the present in the presence of God.

Hacer discípulos es el corazón de lo que consideramos como la gran comisión que como pueblo de Dios se nos asignó. Este material contiene principios que pueden efectivamente desarrollar la identidad de lo que fuimos llamados a ser: discípulos de Jesucristo. No se trata de mera educación teórica, sino de instrucciones para ser aplicadas de modo que podamos vivir y compartir vida abundante. El conocimiento de Dios de forma que afecte nuestro diario vivir, el descubrimiento de la naturaleza de la fe genuina y su aplicación para producir frutos, cómo comportarnos mientras atravesamos por pruebas y tentaciones, son varios de los temas que te enriquecerán mientras atraviesas la jornada de discipulado que este libro comparte. Si Dios es el mismo ayer, hoy, y siempre, la misma plenitud que se manifestó en los primeros seguidores de Cristo ha de manifestarse hoy en nosotros.

In Acts we see the harrowing exploits of Peter and Paul. The book itself was penned by a Gentile physician by the name of Luke. It is of interest to note that Paul and Luke, two of the most articulate, intelligent and highly educated men of their time, together account for 60% of the New Testament. In these pages we clearly see the coming and indwelling of the Holy Spirt as well as the explosive power and influence of the Gospel. Gordon Haresign, internationally known author, professor, speaker, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Scripture Union, speaking about the Dynamic Bible Studies series produced by Scheeren, has said, "These are among the finest, if not the finest, inductive Bible studies available today. I strongly endorse them." This sentiment was echoed by Dr. Dilo Paul, a materials scientist, who said, "I love these studies as they guide me through finding the answers to questions that arise during Bible study from the Bible itself." Dr. Richard Freeman, Vice President of Chosen People Ministries, said, "I have found Fred Scheeren's Bible study material to be quite thorough as well as extremely insightful. I have used it as a resource myself in preparing Bible studies for group study and for my own personal study of the Bible. I recommend it highly to others." Steve White, Ph.D., author and International Director of 21C International, said, "Fred hits a great blend of commentary, historical context, and practical application. The study questions are clear, thought-provoking and relevant. I could easily recommend this for either individual or group study." Robert T. Mason, former executive at an international firm and in his second career as a pastor said, "Fred has done it again!! He has a great way of opening up and explaining the Word of God."

Have you ever wondered what God may be saying to you on any given day. When we experience life God can help grow us spiritually if we will just take a moment to "Think!" This book is all about applying Godly principals to everyday happenings. Take a few moments and "Think on these things..."

This book is written in a theistic context; that, I believe God is in control. It is not an easy proposition to intelligent, technical and scientifically thinking AI Robotic brains. Existence itself is the Love-Truth that infill and surrounds all that exist, It is The all-inclusive - 'IS'. Existence itself is a present- continuous-ongoing-event that can only be represented by 'IS' or the present-continuous- state-of-being. The idea of meta-love counseling or 'beyond' counseling is, being-in-the- moment-that-reveals-itself to the one who is ready in sensitive alertness to receive whatever IS. This book maintains that none is entitled to alter the perpetual 'IS" The 'Counselor' as Jesus meant will lead you into situations that redeem and heal. The idea is very simple. In that particular state-of-being the counselor whom we refer to as the Christian-Meta-Love -Counselor or a Healing Presence, functions as a conduit of healing in the confused, suffering, broken, desperate, defeated, self-centered, unforgiving individuals to gain freedom from their private bondage to experience Healing. It is not as much as what the Meta-Love-Counselor does but who she or he is within the glorious presence of Jesus who in fills the Meta-love-counselor to function as an agent of the healing in and through the Meta-love-counselor only acts as a channel of healing. The Holy Spirit; source of all comfort and healing begins flowing to the person in need, through you, who functions as a genuine conduit for the happening, healing process. The dynamics of such happenings is not explainable technically; as it is there for anyone in the Spirit to experience it and for those outside it to reject outright. Without love, the counselee will only be influenced to believe everything is fine. Love-Truth makes all things possible including all comforting, healing and wholeness. Surrounded by Love-Truth, all things become possible. Surrender in Love-Truth to sense the magic of love.

No matter our beliefs or denomination, we all have the capacity to learn more about the love of God through His only begotten son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. When we give Him our hearts, we are better able to express our gratitude to Him for all He has done and continues to do for us, our families, and everyone we love. In a biblically sound presentation, senior pastor Peter Hamilton provides valuable advice on how it means to be a true anointed servant of God. As he leads believers to understand the love of God through Jesus Christ our Savior and the full purpose He gave his Son as a ransom in order to redeem the entire human race, he explores the current state of the church, asks questions that encourage reflection, interprets the Bible, and provides the reason why all spiritual seekers should invest and grow in their daily walks with the Lord Jesus in faith and obedience. Anointed but Illegal! is an inspiring spiritual companion for believers wishing to develop a better relationship with God and uplift His kingdom.

This book explores fundamental principles of the Christian faith through the use of letters of the alphabet and vibrant illustrations. Each letter invites discussion from young and old readers alike, while also depicting God's love for His creation now and in ages past.

This book is an inspiration to many who may have lost their way. Are you searching for absolute, truth for a foundation to live your life? Sometimes it takes a tragedy, or a personal lose, a changing event that brings you to your knees. Are you searching for someone far greater than yourself? Search no longer come back to the one who can save you from sin and walk in the way of the Lord. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life.; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6. The uncertainties I face at this time deepened my increasing closeness with God. The Bible Verses that kept catching my attention, now comforts me, "For ye shall go out in joy and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands." Isaiah 55:12; "Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." Psalm 119:105. And in the same way, let your light shine before men, that they can see your good works and give glory to your Father in Heaven. Matthew 5:16. There is a tugging at my heart to write this book. As my journey comes closer to God in Heaven I lean on Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit within me.

God is interested in everything about us. He knows each of us deeply and loves each of us dearly. He wants to entice us into a relationship with Him: He wants us to know Him more deeply and love Him more dearly every day. This series of drawing books serves as an invitation to start a new relationship with the Lord, to kickstart a stalled relationship, or to make a strong connection even stronger. In this book, the author explains how when we encounter Jesus, everything changes. In his case, along a road in September 1995, everything he ever wanted, all the places he thought he wanted to go, and all his past wants for his life just faded. On that day, God used one of the talents that He had given the author to reveal something new. This book will help you grow closer to Jesus, so that you can enjoy the greatest relationship you will ever have in this life or the next.

We all have problems, though the specifics vary from person to person. The obstacles that author Leila Hayes faced changed her life-but they did not shake her faith. Courage for Today and Hope for Tomorrow tells of the struggles that Hayes had after having a stroke on November 25, 2016. Following her initial hospitalization, she was transported to Burke Rehabilitation, the facility she would call home for the next three months.

Now she shares her experiences in the hope that others may benefit from her journey; she also offers a testimony of her faith interspersed with her story. This personal narrative presents one woman's challenges in dealing with three successive strokes, struggling through recovery, and continuing onward with God's help.

This is the true-life story of a country boy, Reginald Stone, who started his life in a small town in Virginia. After moving to Washington, D.C. with his family, he attended a Billy Graham Crusade with a neighbor where he accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior. Reginald has always said, "he was never the same again." After attending Bible College, Reginald pastored a small church for little pay. It was during this time that God led him to meet his wife, Rose, at a nearby camp meeting. In the beginning of their marriage, he worked both educational and ministerial jobs. It was at his first full-time pastoral position that God began to call both Reginal and Rose to Latin America. When they left the church and headed to Mexico to attend a Spanish school to learn the Spanish language, neither of them realized all that God had in store for them. Just learning the Spanish language took faith for Reginald. The adventures had only begun in Mexico. Uruguay and Peru had so much more in store for them with building new churches, many miracles of God, and even being hunted by terrorists. Every day required trusting God. After leaving South America, the ministry of this couple was not over. God had more churches to be pastored, organizations to be led, and ministry schools to be created and taught at. The Hispanics of United States of America was their new mission field. This book concludes with eleven lessons that Reginald learned while on the mission field. These lessons teach ministers and missionaries valuable lessons to know before entering the mission field which are both practical and thought-provoking. Laugh and shed tears as you walk through the life of Reginald and Rose as they follow God's plan for their lives.

As all of us know, life has its ups and downs. In many ways life truly is a rollercoaster. A rollercoaster goes up, comes down, goes around curves, enters the dark at times, twists, and in some cases, goes backwards. I think that using a rollercoaster is a great example that can describe life perfectly. How is one able to navigate all the ups and downs, twists, and turns, as well as the darkness that is experienced on occasions? The key, I believe, is a faith in a living God. This living God allows Himself to be known through the person of Jesus Christ. This devotional is slightly different than most devotionals. The devotionals contained in this volume were written over a period of time and as the current events were taking place. As you will experience, there are numerous events mentioned that were part of our lives, some that may be distant to you and some that occurred daily that you may have been somewhat close. Since I am a sports junkie, you will find several references in this devotional pertaining to sporting events that have taken place. Most of the sporting events refer to the teams in Philadelphia. Each devotion is two pages in length and is written in a way to help you think about your relationship with God. It is my prayer that after completing the reading of this devotional you will find yourself closer to God and understand who He is clearer.

The Bible says that in later times, believers' hearts will grow cold, and some will even fall away. The storms the church will face in the coming days before Christ's return will be fierce. In A Way in the Wilderness, author Kelley Killian shares the warning signs of what believers should be aware of. She brings her life-changing experiences and perspective from being lost in a spiritual wilderness in this message of hope for fellow believers who may be struggling in their faith. Based upon lessons she learned in her sojourn in the wilderness, Killian also offers practical tips that can be incorporated into your everyday walk with God to keep you on course and out of the wilderness. A Way in the Wildenress helps you dig deep and build a foundation that promotes a turning up of the heat of your heart for Christ. It helps you prepare and be able to withstand the storms that could cause you to stumble or lose your way.

No one wants to be rejected, yet we will all experience rejection at some point in our lives. Rejection is unpleasant and can be extremely painful. Rejection and its companions can rob us of our identity, highjack our confidence, as well as lower our self-esteem. Rejection takes our mind and our emotions down an agonizing path of self -doubt and reasoning that appears to be never ending. It can make us feel worthless and so unloved. However, being rejected can actually be a blessing. What if I told you that being rejected could be the one of the best things that could ever happen to you? What if I told you that something beautiful could come from something so ugly? What if I told you that God could be utilizing rejection to transform your life for the better? Would you believe me...?

Believers all around the world are suffering. Suffering can lead to discouragement and despair. It can bring many questions to the believer's mind. It can be harder to feel God's love and presence during times of suffering. In this devotional, we will explore what God's Word has to say about doubt, depression, anxiety, assurance, disease, and suffering in general. We will be reminded of God's character- His compassion, His grace, and His faithfulness. We will explore some of the reasons for our suffering. And we will be reminded that God is good. We can trust God, no matter how bad our circumstances may seem. God is with us in our suffering. He never leaves our side, and He promises that "all things work together for good to them that love God" (Romans 8:28 KJV).

How can the greatest commandments form the paradigm for our lives? How can these two commandments inform and transform our worldview to help us face the challenges of life? What do these commandments tell us about relationship with God, ourselves, and others? This book studies these questions, arriving at many counterintuitive conclusions.
