FIGHT! They say anything worth having is worth waiting for. True. It's also worth fighting for. Your marriage is no different. So why start and not finish? Why get in and not see it through? Why give up on something that you were always going to have to fight for anyway? Your marriage is perfect. There are very few situations in which we find ourselves in that we can say that about. Why not embrace this perfect place? Surely, there are times where, as imperfect beings, we struggle to see the wonderful situation we're in. We're still growing as individuals. We're still learning. We're individuals with unique responsibilities, unique roles, and unique personal experiences that somehow have to work together. It's tough. With a committed mindset, it's a little easier to make this work. I've decided to share some real occurrences from my relationship that are common to us all. While, obviously, the way these points were highlighted in my relationship will be different from the way they show up in yours, there are common resolutions we all have to get to. With proper perspective we see the perfection in our union, and we fight to do just that. Here's a piece of my fight. I pray it'll help you through yours.
Connection to God and understanding His great love and care for us is foundational to all of life. He is the substance of all we hope for and the answer to all we need. No matter the pit or the prison you find yourself in-in spite of the pain of the past or the fear of the future-there is an unbreakable promise for you. Better days are ahead. Richer and fuller than you could possibly imagine. Journey into the depth of God's heart and find out why, and how, this is true. Come and sit at His table of grace. Discover the incredible difference this revelation will make, in this safe and secret place. You are most welcome here. Love will lead the way. M.S. Curtis-Gerlach is a fellow traveller on the road of life and one who has learned, in the midst of joys and sorrows, that God is forever faithful, kind, and true.

We try so hard to make life simple; check a box - good or bad, black or white, even faith or no faith. Perhaps, life, especially a life with faith, just isn't that simple. Especially, when it hasn't turned out how we hoped, dreamed, and planned. The Complicated Gray is my story of a mighty faith wrestle and of a life that hasn't turned out how I hoped. It's a hard story. We all have them. Mine, probably much like yours, is a story that left me bruised, feeling never enough, and really mad at God. It's also a big story that led me to Him. This book is filled with stories that will make you yearn and think and cringe and laugh. It is a messy story because I am not sure faith can be any other way. Most of all, it is a story full of ands. I am a forever grieving mother and a woman who does the work to see the gifts in everything. When we give ourselves permission to walk into the mess of our story, the permission to feel more than one thing, even at the same time, we will find our clarity, magic, and healing. It has only been in giving myself permission to embrace this And, feeling my grief and making it a gift, that I have met this incredible Jesus. The Complicated Gray is the story of my wrestle into His unending grace and love. No longer a hard story, it is my big story of resilient redemption. And, I pray it will help you see your own big story, and meet my Jesus.

"A wise man will hear and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: " Proverbs 1:5 KJV LITERALLY EVERYTHING YOU HAVE LEARNED ABOUT OUR ORIGINS IS WRONG AND IS A DELIBERTATE LIE TOLD TO KEEP YOU IN MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL BONDAGE TO AN AGENDA BY THOSE RULING OVER US Prior to the twentieth century, and some time before, there was an abrupt change in Western culture. Mankind progressed from 4000 years of horseback transport to space travel within the span of only fifty years. The very last of the horse drawn carriages in New York City disappeared circa 1920 and technology advanced during the half century proceeding to land a man on the moon. What happened? It was a most rapid changing of our world as mankind suddenly saw himself part of an endless evolution of all things. It was the result of an age of enlightenment as he found himself part of a natural progression that would take him to the outer reaches of the galaxies. He and his world were evolving. It was a great opportunity for a man named Charles Darwin to introduce his ideas about the origin of mankind and it seemed the world had been waiting for such an idea. It would be the doing away with God and the Bible. God was no longer needed as man's new understanding indicated that he had come from literally nothing after a big bang occurred and our planet was seen as, not a glorious creation of God but a chance evolution of elements. However, does the evidence prove the theory? We will examine in detail, how this theory about our origins has affected trends in our society and culture in every way imaginable. The evidence against Darwinism far exceeds the evidence presented in favor of it. Learn how they protect this enormous lie and how it affects the decisions of every person on earth. Learn how each of us are part of an agenda so powerful and far reaching that it has trapped billions of us in its Godless worldview and is by far the greatest attack against Biblical Christianity in history.
What would you do if your whole life changed drastically in an instant and it appeared as though you were totally out of control? What would you do if you felt like you were living your worst nightmare? What would you do in a seemingly hopeless situation? Grateful is an inspiring, enlightening, and genuine response to those questions and more! It is a collection of thoughts and comments from the author and several of her family members (biological and spiritual), friends, and coworkers concerning their encounter with autoimmune encephalitis: a devastating, mind-boggling, life-threatening illness. The author asked that they respond to the following inquiries and they did in their own, unique way: Please tell about your experience with autoimmune encephalitis. What life lessons did you learn from watching your loved one go through such a devastating and life-threatening illness? What advice would you like to give to others? Grateful was written to testify of the miraculous things God did and increase awareness about this so-called "rare" and "mysterious" illness. To God be the glory!
Justice @ The Cross is a ten-page poetry book that depicts the potential perspective of Jesus Christ and the audience, and the such in His last hours of life. The author, Jamahl Pettaway, attempts to bring the audience of all ages to the foot of the cross as Jesus suffered for all humanity.Minister Jamahl Pettaway was born on December 28, 1985 at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore Maryland. In 2011, Jamahl received his Bachelors of Science Degree in Business Administration from Morgan State University. As Jamahl became increasingly concerned about his soul, he began reading books such as Left Behind by Tim Lahaye & Jerry B. Jenkins. As a result, at age 12 Minister Pettaway gave his life to the Lord by accepting Christ as his personal savior. At age 13, Jamahl and family became members of The Church of the Redeemed of the Lord (CRL), which is under the leadership of Bishop Jerome Stokes. Jamahl has been an active member of CRL for over 20 years. Jamahl answered the call to ministry at the age of 17 years old, after being filled with the Holy Ghost in his room one day. Jamahl began to write sermons as the Spirit of the Lord lead him. In 2009 Jamahl became ordained as one of the youngest associate ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ at CRL
"One of the primary directives of a Christian is to share Christ with the world. Often used is the term "evangelism", and rightly so, which causes some to think it is for a specific anointed group to handle the task. In his book Show and Tell, Don Simpson explains that all Christians are called and anointed to share Christ with others. He encourages and equips the Body of Christ for this important process explaining how our lifestyle and personal stories are really the ingredients to being successful. He explains how sharing one''s faith in Jesus takes some training and development, yet all have the ability to do their part by simply taking an interest in those around us. If you are challenged in sharing the Savior of the world with the people you meet every day, Show and Tell will give you the encouragement needed and build your confidence to not just tell, but show, others what Jesus has done for you, He will do for them."Jay M. Scienza, author of the award winning book ''Joseph: Beyond the Coat

What is the future of America? With an overwhelming national debt, political unrest, and disregard of its biblical foundations, many would say that the decline of America can easily be attributed to America''s disobedience to God. Author Roderick Black, confident in his assessments of the United States today, offers his sermon-turned-book Our Crumbling Empire in efforts to awaken readers to the need for change to receive God''s redemption. Roderick begins with an engaging comparison between the histories of America and Israel, showing how disobedience caused both to go through avoidable consequences. A further examination into America discusses the country''s determination of separation of church and state and Satan''s deceptions in the Church today. Within the book, Roderick alerts readers to the reality of the wrath of God and how we as individuals, as well as a nation, need to be prepared in order to escape the soon-coming devastation.
We have all encountered liars, and perhaps even been "burned" by one or two, but, other than "thou shalt not bear false witness" (Ex. 20:16), what does the Bible have to say about lying?Starting with the first lie that Satan told Eve in the Garden of Eden to the last lie told in the Bible by Ananias and Sapphira that resulted in their deaths, Twelve Liars in the Bible (and the Lives They Ruined) by author Steve Saunders, brings biblical liars and the destruction they brought upon themselves and the persons about whom they lied to the forefront for readers. While the biblical stories inside are well known by many, (included are the lies illustrated in the stories of Sarah and Abraham, Jacob and Esau, Samson and Delilah, and more), the author''s focus on the biblical viewpoint of the lies will give the reader new and unique insight on the harm caused by lying. Practically every day we hear about professional athletes who have lied about doping, politicians who have lied to cover-up misdeeds, or well-known people who have lied about their sexual indiscretions. Let''s face it; we too have told lies at some point in our lives. Hopefully, our errant ways were quickly corrected, but the question still remains: what consequences do our lies create?There has never been a more appropriate time than the present for Twelve Liars in the Bible (and the Lives They Ruined). The author''s biblical research and personal stories combined with current events will be remembered by readers for the insight they gain. After growing up in Wichita, Kansas, Steve Saunders attended and graduated from what is now the Arlington Baptist University in Arlington, Texas. Arlington is also where he met and married his wife Patty. They have three sons, two of whom are married, and three grandchildren. Steve is retired from pastoring, after planting churches and pastoring in large cities, small towns, and rural areas for more than forty years. Steve''s present ministry is writing, recording and publishing gospel music.
What would you do if you were part of a local church that was aging, in an undesirable location, and occupied a building that lacked some of what could be considered modern essentials? What''s more, your church is ethnically different than the surrounding community, and there is a lack of resources available to relocate. In response, it will require a fundamental change in church culture.. "A Church without Walls" has been taught in the local church, the resulting cultural shift helped to transform an invitational church philosophy, to that of a community embedded ministry. It has also been taught to pastors and leaders in developing countries who struggled with raising funds for building projects to support their expanding ministries. By creating a first century culture, the result has been a series of spiritual, financial, and ministry blessings that enable even a tiny church to make an impact for Christ on a global scale as well their local, regional, and national communities despite cultural differences. When we follow God''s first century blueprint, He opens doors and creates opportunities that could not have been experienced otherwise.
Raising a godly generation in the midst of a perverse generation is the most challenging task in the 21st century. There is no doubt that there is a spiritual war happening now between the godly and secular cultures. What should be our strategy for this war? The solution is looking at the word of God for our strategy. From Genesis to Revelation there are lessons for us to learn how to deal with the evil surrounding our generation. Azael Nu├▒ez provides us with a battle plan to fight spiritual and physical forces attacking the core values of the Christian faith. The Civil War Generation will challenge you to discover the root of the problem by taking hold of the weapons God has given us to use as believers. As we look through the examples of the many generations in the bible, this book will equip us to understand our calling and our God-given assignment. The author encourages us to fight and learn how to shape the next generation by providing powerful insights into the lives of the heroes of the faith. Most importantly, emphasizing on how to establish a legacy and standing firm to biblical values in a tough time. Azael Nu├▒ez has been preaching the gospel all over the nation as well as overseas. He and his wife currently reside in Phoenix, Arizona.

Have you ever wondered why the Christian life can be so hard sometimes?If this is God''s plan of salvation, why isn''t it easier?The truth is the Christian life doesn''t need to be as hard as we make it.The secret is very simple: All you have to do is die (spiritually speaking).

In every story lies a message to impart to the reader: a message of hope, a message of faith, a message of encouragement to face the day. The nine short, fictional stories that encompass The Inventor''s Gift, the latest book from author Edward J. Campa, are not only stories with messages, but also stories with life-changing truths from God.Defined as "stories of change, hope, and miracles," the collection of short stories blend real-life situations with biblical truth to create engaging, meaningful narratives that will bring readers to tears, to their knees and to surrender for Jesus'' love and peace.Beginning the moving collection is "The Shoe Angel", which centers on a young, successful man with an extensive shoe collection, but a humbled heart. His decision to speak at a sales company gala allows him to reflect on his upbringing in poverty and how a kindly neighbor showed him the value of shoes.Another story, "The Chauffeur", displays the change of path one man, Peter Borjas, experiences after he helps take a slow, young man regularly to church and even to his high school graduation, paving his way to success. Unfortunately, the tragic deaths of Peter''s wife and unborn child cause Peter to spiral into sadness, but God paves the way for him from an unbelievable source.Stories of rectifying life paths ("A Pair of Perspectives"), not giving up on life too soon ("A Plate of Reality") and finding wisdom from the one true Source ("The Inventor''s Gift") bring forth valuable life lessons and observations of life that readers will find motivators for their lives.In each story, the unwavering belief in God and His plan for people''s lives shines through and dictates how each person should see the circumstances he/she is in, or is able to see through the help of another. Just as the title shares, these are stories from the Eternal Inventor (and Re-Inventor) of people''s lives and paths toward success.
Life is not always perfect, but we have a God that can get us through anything if we let Him. Growing up, author Amanda Murry met many challenges.

She grew up selfish, not understanding the importance of money or that some things are out of our control. As Amanda grew to adulthood, she found the trials continued.But despite not knowing God while she was growing up, Amanda did find God. She discovered that though she did not know him and had not been with Him in her life before this, He was with her. God led her when she needed to be led and showed her the error of ways when it was needed. He taught her hard lessons but also gave her people to love. He has been by her side her whole life, whether she knew it or not. God Was There, Even When I Wasn''t was inspired by God. Feeling moved by the Lord, Amanda wanted to share her story. She hopes that by sharing her story, others who have been in a similar situation or those who are struggling in life can see that they too can come out on top. Everyone should understand that they will face struggles in life. But, don''t lose hope. Believe in God, for He is with us always. Author Amanda Murry is wife to a man sent straight to her by God and the mother to two sons. She has always had a passion for animals and barrel racing, which was nurtured by her parents and God. Amanda has been a homemaker for most of her life but is going back to school for phycology and is a life coach. Now she is an author with her debut book God Was There, Even When I Wasn''t.
As if in a hazy dream, I wandered about the place, studying my surroundings. Had I been here before? This place...this unfamiliar yet, familiar place, bore a startling resemblance to somewhere I had been before. Within its walls, was a stern but serene environment. The whole place had a macabre feel to it: Alluring and mesmerizing: yet, frightening at the same time. The question that weighed heavy on my mind was: Do I dare trust this place? Still, I felt as though I needed to escape. I needed an escape, so I ran with all my might to find the way out! I found a door; the only one around and gave it a quick shove. Out I went! I ran from the place with all the energy I could sequester from deep within myself. I hadn''t much energy left, but I just knew I had to escape. But they stopped me and declared: "There is no way out.
Tragedy, bullying and low self esteem...that was Christy''s life until she and a group of her friends decided to turn the tables on the bullies, but neither she nor her friends expected the chain of events that would follow. She just wanted them to leave her alone! Now her world had been turned completely upside down. How could things change so dramatically in a matter of hours?
