Ministry Time

Men were designed, created, and commanded to bear responsibility, but our history of failure in this area stretches all the way back to Adam. Today, irresponsibility is considered normal, even a birthright. Jim Wilson outlines the causes and results of this failure, the biblical principles and characteristics that define a responsible man, and how men can apply them both in their own lives and in raising their sons.

We love our kids, but do we love like God loves…without conditions, reservations, or reluctance? In this excerpt from his popular book How to Be Free from Bitterness, Jim Wilson identifies the troublesome consequences of insufficient parental love and points listeners to the glorious fruit of superabundant kindness, tolerance, and patience. With decades of pastoral wisdom, Wilson helps parents apply the eternal truths of Scripture to grow peace and joy in their homes.

You love God. You love your kids. So why don’t they love Him? God promises lovingkindness to a thousand generations for families who love and obey Him (Deut. 7:9). Why are children who grew up in Christian homes leaving the faith, and how do we get them to come back? No matter how old your children are, there is a solution.

“Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God!” (Rom. 11:33). Our heavenly Father has given us unfathomable blessings, but we often fail to live as if they are truly ours. In Thankfulness and Confession, Brad Scheelke encourages listeners to meditate on and rejoice in the glorious riches of our inheritance in Christ. As we regularly give thanks for what God has given us, our thoughts and actions will begin to change . . . often in surprising ways. Gratitude also changes how we deal with sin.

Ancient Paths: Light and Life from the Scriptures Jesus Read is a series of devotions from both familiar and obscure passages in the Old Testament. Even in the most unusual places, there is light and life from God’s word. You'll enjoy the journey as God speaks to you through the ancient paths of Scripture.

When we see a person of great strength and ability but also with a fatal flaw, it’s often said that they have “feet of clay”. Did you know that expression came from the Bible? The heroes of the Bible had great strengths and abilities and were used by the Lord to do wonderful things, but their stories are not preserved for us without including their struggles and failures.

This book was written for women from all walks of life who are in desperate need of something more, more than what the world could offer. If you have ever hit “rock bottom”, whether it’s spiritual, financial, physical, or emotional, then this book is for you!

Everyone needs advice, and everyone gives advice. In a world of dysfunctional families, churches, and societies, professional counseling is in great demand as a solution to our problems. The weak link in this solution is the inability to determine a counselor’s qualifications apart from his professional accreditation. Academics can give you knowledge, but no learning or books can give you wisdom. There are no graduate degrees in love or compassion. You cannot get a PhD in virtue. However, these things are available to everyone freely through Christ.

Africans, both home, and in the diaspora, handle time. Time is central, critical, and crucial to our human existence. The Creator-God respected time very much in the creation account in Genesis chapters one and two. Maximum utilization of time leads to development and progress. Conversely, the misuse and misappropriation of time are "friendly" to poverty. The 24 hours divided into three segments of discussion and analysis in this audiobook tell the full story. Time is priceless and most valuable. It is key to our survival as a people.

Many, oh! so many of God's dear children are living on the wrong side of Pentecost, living on the same plane as that on which the disciples were living before they were filled with the Holy Ghost; and thus by their lives practically making the sad confession, 'We did not so much as hear whether the Holy Ghost was given, or whether there be any Holy Ghost.' The object of this little work is to call their attention to their Birthright, to the fact that the Fullness of the Spirit is the Birthright of every believer.

There are many temptations to disunity within Christianity - denominational splits, following particular pastors or authors, theological differences - the list goes on. The primary assumption in this book is the authority and inspiration of the Scriptures. There are promises, prayers, and commands in the New Testament concerning the church’s unity in Christ. The Christian church is made up of individual members of the body of Christ. This book is written to those individuals. The church as a whole cannot obey God. Only the parts can.

An insightful study of the end times and the current conditions of the church.

Jesus’ death paid for our sins – the guilt, the death, and the punishment. Jesus does not repay the man who got ripped off when we stole from him. According to the Bible, the person who comes to the Lord in repentance is to pay the one he stole from the value of the stolen goods plus one fifth of the value. But what if it is a candy bar you took twenty years ago? The amount stolen and the time since the theft do not make it yours.

The Right Choice is an efficient, solution-oriented book to give you data, decision points, and details to help shape this life-changing decision by providing a framework to work from. If you or someone you love is choosing a college to attend, it’s important to know the reasons for why to attend a public college vs. a private college vs. a religious college. This book will help you narrow your options by helping you answer these questions:

"Revolutionary love" sounds like an oxymoron. Revolution is usually a negative, violent, and destructive change, while love is positive, peaceful, and contented. But true love always changes people. And Christ’s love brings the most revolutionary change of all. Festo Kivengere (1919 - 88) experienced both kinds of revolution. He escaped Uganda when the brutal regime of Idi Amin seized power. But he could not escape the pursuit of Jesus, who came into his life with radically transformative grace.

Hope is a promise of God. Anxiety is a lie of Satan. When we are anxious, we become immobilized. We cannot make decisions; we cannot get things done; we cannot sleep. What can we do to be free from this constant worry? “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” (Isa. 41:10).

You are uniquely and divinely wired to succeed and prosper. You carried the genes of God. You cannot afford to fail. That is your kingdom identity. Knowing this will reshape your mind about who you are, what you carried, and where you are going. Refuse to settle for nothing but victory in all your endeavors. You can do more than what you are doing now, get more than what you are getting, and give more than you are giving.

Hope and encouragement for the family from Psalm Twenty-Three.

In a world full unpredictable weather and incurable disease, how can anyone help peace and confidence? There is only one way to have peace in all situations and circumstances and that is through the unconditional love and undisturbed supernatural power of knowing God as your daddy.

Christ heals wounds that no one else can heal. The Holy Spirit offers to reconcile us to God and to each other. We don’t think much about sin until the Spirit catches us red-handed. But He is not a policeman; He is the Friend of the guilty. He convicts in order to liberate.
