Spiritual Growth Love

While most of us have the desire to share the gospel, we don’t know how to bring it up. Let’s face it… it’s not easy to go from “How is the weather?” to “Jesus died for you,” and no one is walking up to us on the street asking, “What must I do to be saved?” So what’s a well-intentioned Christian to do?

The manifestation of the Holy Ghost features scenes and personalities of explosion. The prophet Joel compared the explosion of God’s endtime Church with the sound of galloping horses. 4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. 5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. Joel 2:4–5

Knowing God’s love produces wonderful fruit. God takes the initiative to reveal his heart of love and compassion for his children.

Worship and praise are not rituals we perform, they are responses to God's love. The result is seen in heavenly changes in the world around us. Our world changes by His presence. As we worship Him and manifest His life we prophetically destroy the strongholds of every enemy. Love wins! God speaks and life happens! This is the way of worship and praise as God moves among us! Worship is the fruit of experiencing God's presence in our lives. When we see who He is in our lives, we cannot help but worship Him. We love Him because He first loved us.

The world around us is in a constant state of reinvention, from technology, to careers, to family. It's easy to struggle in the midst of change, and each season brings new challenges. But we need reinvention: the kind that leads us to new fulfillment and our calling in Christ. To reinvent ourselves in Christ means a transformation in our hearts, souls, bodies, and minds. And we can achieve this by biblically exploring and answering the questions: What do you want? What do you have? What will you do? and Why will you do it?

My book is about disappointment, love, pain, betrayal, and success. My dream was to finish high school in 1974 and go straight to college. I had a minor setback. My high school sweetheart was pregnant. I had a decision to make, either go to college or find a job. This was the most important decision I had to make in my life. But I chose to take care of my unborn child. I had to put college on hold. So at the age of eighteen, I married her.

“God is love is the radical claim of Christianity,” writes Frederick Bauerschmidt at the beginning of this little meditation on the essentials of Christian faith. In a rich yet accessible style reminiscent of C. S. Lewis and G. K. Chesterton, Bauerschmidt breathes life back into that claim, drawing from Scripture, great Christian and non-Christian writers of the past, and his own lived experience to show just how countercultural and subversive Christianity is actually meant to be.

If you love Jesus but are unhappy, disappointed, frustrated, disillusioned, or just plain burned-out with church or religion, I have good news for you. There is a problem with church, but it’s neither your fault nor God’s fault and you’re not required to “try harder” to fix it. Furthermore, you’re not alone. More and more evangelical Christians sense that church and religion are somehow at odds with a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. God has already given us the “way of escape.” His answer has always been hiding in plain sight in the New Testament.

I confess. I am in a relationship with Jesus. The daily time I share with him in his word, is my lifeline. I don’t think I could make it, in times like these, without a life-application relationship with Jesus.

Alcanzar el conocimiento de lo que somos es reconocer que somos una unidad indivisa con Dios, en Cristo. La reunión de nuestra naturaleza humana con la divina, o mejor dicho el hacernos conscientes de ello, es aceptarnos tal como somos en verdad. Somos una nueva humanidad. Un nuevo ser en el que se reúne lo humano, lo crístico y lo divino en una sola realidad santa. Vivir en armonía con esta verdad nos permite vivir en paz con nosotros mismos, y por ende con los demás y el mundo entero. Somos Cristo humanado.

Lenaburg desperately wanted to be part of a girl tribe in middle school. She wanted to belong, to have friends—to be seen. So the unathletic, gangly sixth-grader tried out for the cheerleading squad. She didn’t have fancy clothes like the other girls, and she noticed that everyone else had “a chest”. So Lenaburg stuffed a pair of her brother’s sweat socks into her bra. You can probably guess the rest: One sock fell out when she started a tumbling routine.

Good Christians are supposedly known for diligently practicing spiritual disciplines like Bible study, prayer, evangelism, and serving God. Disciplines that are expected, through inspired effort, to conquer sin in us and in the world. The tragedy is so few Christians understand that we aren’t just sinful but wounded. We don’t need a list of disciplines. We need a healer, a deliverer to come and set us free. Kevin Butcher points us toward this healing Jesus, who offers us his all-encompassing love.

Invisible realms of angels became visible to Sebastián Blaksley in an extraordinary series of 144 visitations overseen by archangels Raphael and Gabriel.

As we look for the Holy Spirit's activity happening around us, listen for His voice and respond in obedience, we enable others to encounter the love and power of Jesus through us.
