A summary of this book is hard to nail down. It is a collage of life experiences and memories from an old man's complicated life. The happenings described herein come from random memories and thoughts over many years--memories that were turned into thoughts that ended up being written down in no certain order of events or of time.The main idea in this tome is to inspire the reader to read the Bible for himself with the help of the Holy Ghost to guide the reader's understanding. If the reader was marooned on an uninhabited island and a Bible washed ashore with him, it would give the reader a great chance to meet Jesus Christ and develop a personal relationship with Him.Nevertheless, if the reader wants to be entertained, the poetry and thoughts herein will give a glimpse into an old man's soul.
There is a prison that houses most of the people in this world, including those who call themselves Christians. Its invisible walls leave individuals unaware of their own captivity and separation from God. They feel the effects of this prison and are deceived into thinking they can fix it on their own. Wasting time, energy, and money, they struggle to free themselves from the feelings of defeat, desolation, and despair. But the Good News proclaims there is freedom available to all. This book is a guide to deconstructing the four walls of anger, fear, shame, and guilt, leading the reader to freedom and fellowship with God. There is a pardon with your name on it, and if you choose to accept it, you can walk out of this prison and be relinquished of your suffering. The choice is up to you.

We can learn to prepare for life's storms and brace for the impact. We can stand guard with spiritual armor on and utilize battle strategies to withstand the attack and weather the storm. Even in the aftermath, when we are filled with questions and trying to sort out the next steps, we can have confidence in the Lord who is mightier than any storm we face. We will make it through the storm, whether a pandemic, temptations, or general life stressors. Accepting God and his aid is the best decision one could ever make. Storms have a way of sensitizing us to the struggles of others. Together we can weather life's storms. We are in a race--on your mark, get set, go. Let us continue in this Christian race, our personal stormathon to run.

This is a nine-week precept Bible study specifically written for home groups and contains deep theological doctrine and practical application for everyday living. Paul wrote Ephesians about five years after he completed his third missionary journey. It is one of four letters he wrote while imprisoned in Rome for a crime he did not commit. This study will guide your home group through Ephesians, and contains in-depth commentary as well as practical application questions and answers. Any believer at any level can benefit from this study.Ephesians tackles difficult topics such as the Trinity, adoption, predestination, prophecy, the rapture, the second coming, the mystery of God's plan, spiritual warfare, and much more. Ephesians is considered a how-to manual for Christian living and encourages believers to walk in a manner worthy of being called children of God. A main theme throughout Paul's letter is unity among believers.Paul planted the Ephesian church during his second missionary journey and knew the Ephesians very well. Near the end of his letter, Paul warned believers to prepare for war. He called this war a spiritual battle between God and Satan. Paul even used military terms to describe this spiritual battle; for example, he told Christians to "put on the full armor of God, so that [they] will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil" (Ephesians 6:11 NASB).Get ready to take another adventure with the Apostle Paul as he reconnects with the believers in Ephesus to remind them of their Christian duty and encourage them to keep the faith. The Christian life is meant to have an impact on the world and should not be lived in secret. Not only should the believer's life be evident to all, but their lives should be a spiritual light that leads others to Christ. As Paul said, "Awaken sleeper, and arise from the dead" (Ephesians 5:14 NASB). That's what Christians are called to do today, arise and make a difference in their home, at work, and in their community. Enjoy this journey with the Apostle Paul as he encourages his friends in Ephesus to keep the faith.Here are some other precept Bible study's written specifically for home groups.Acts: The Birth of the Church (12 weeks)Acts: Paul's Three Missionary Journeys (10 weeks)Acts: Paul's Arrest, Trial and Imprisonment (8 weeks)Galatians: Oh, You Foolish Galatians (8 weeks)Ephesians: Queen of the Epistles (9 weeks)

This is an eight-week Precept Bible Study written specifically for Home Groups on the Apostle Paul's letter to the churches in Galatia. The book is designed to challenge your home group with in-depth, thought-provoking commentaries and real-world application questions.Galatians is one of the oldest letters in the New Testament and was written to encourage the believers and address a problem with some false teachers called Judaizers. The problem was the Judaizers were telling the Gentiles they must obey the Jewish laws and traditions in order to be saved. In other words, the Judaizers were putting pressure on the Gentiles to become Jews before they could become Christians. Another problem was these false teachers were questioning the Apostle Paul's authority by saying he was not a real apostle. In today's world, Christians are being tempted daily to compromise their faith through peer pressure from friends, family, and co-workers, and are tempted by movies, television, commercials, and social media. The pressure to compromise and be more like the world has intensified by the current cancel culture which is pushing an anti-Christian message. The Galatian believers were up against similar pressures. What can we learn from Paul's letter to the early churches in Galatia, and what does it mean for Christians to be in the world but not of the world? Buckle up and get ready to go on a journey with Paul as we take an in-depth look at the problems facing the early church and compare them to the issues facing Christians today.Here are some other precept Bible study's for home groups.Acts: The Birth of the Church (12 weeks)Acts: Paul's Three Missionary Journeys (10 weeks)Acts: Paul's Arrest, Trial and Imprisonment (8 weeks)Galatians: Oh, You Foolish Galatians (8 weeks)Ephesians: Queen of the Epistles (9 weeks)Page 2

After growing up in the Episcopal church while always dabbling in the occult and witchcraft, Jeremy had a world-shaking terminal diagnosis of cancer. Upon a miraculous intervention by God Almighty and a painful surgical experience, Jeremy began a deep dive into Christianity and his faith. Along with his wife, Buffy, they have been a part of charismatic, nondenominational, Baptist, and evangelical churches. As a result, this book has been written to help the everyday Christians.It has been written to debunk bad doctrines/heresies and demystify the faith. This book flies in the face of those would-be "prophets" and "preachers" who espouse how everything relies on your faith or spout generic "Christian horoscopes" of "favor," "new seasons," and the ever-elusive "next level."These bad and horrific "teachings" are dangerous and painful especially when you pray for loved ones who still die or when you suffer setbacks at work, homelife, marriage, dating, schooling, vocation, etc. because it leaves you beating up yourself wondering why "your faith" wasn't enough for a miracle, etc.This book lays out plainly how we are to operate in the everyday grind of our lives and how God is there every step of the way even when we don't "feel" it or perform some crazy miracle.You can be a janitor at a school cleaning children's vomit off the lunchroom floor or be a world-renowned heart surgeon saving the life of a political world leader, and this book will help both of you and everyone in between to grow in their faith and reliance on the one true God who is sovereign when we don't understand, compassionate when we hurt, and guiding us back when we wander.Use this book to return to the Bible and more importantly return to God the Father and Jesus the Christ and be indwelt with the Holy Spirit.

While working with students, their parents, and with colleagues, I noticed God is always at work. In many casual conversations, I was encouraged by the number of colleagues that stated their dependence on God for guidance.
