| 18 Words: The Most Important Words You Will Ever Know By J.I. Packer / Christian Focus Sanctification, election, sin, faith, and 14 other words that might be hard to define or else have other more common definitions in today's world are given free rein to be biblically defined by a master theologian. This classic by J. I. Packer takes a careful look, one at a time, at words and terms that even Christians sometimes struggle with. By simply covering one word in each chapter ('holiness' and 'sanctification' are taken in a single chapter), Packer slowly unfolds the intricacies of Scripture while pacing the reader at a comfortable clip. Packer has long been ahead of the curve in solid Biblical teaching and exegesis, and in this book, 25 years after it's initial publication, it is clear that his writings have stood the test of time to remain a useful tool for all Christians today. |
I have used this book so much for reference that my copy is well worn. | Knowing God By J.I. Packer / Inter-varsity Press J. I. Packer's Knowing God has become a classic of the Christian faith. Why? While it gives us information about God with clarity and grace, it does much more---it aids us in actually knowing him, in building our relationship with him, and helps draw us closer to him in love and worship. This 20th anniversary edition of Packer's classic has new Americanized text, reader-friendly type, and a new preface. Study guide not included. |

 | The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism By Timothy Keller / Dutton How could a loving God send people to hell? Why does he allow suffering? Can one religion be "right" and the others "wrong"?

 | Heaven By Randy Alcorn / Tyndale House As the years pass and we watch more and more of our family, friends and mentors pass away, it is only natural to ask questions about heaven. However, our understanding of heaven is often limited to a few half-forgotten Sunday school lessons and the insubstantial images provided by popular movies and T.V. Fortunately, in Heaven Randy Alcorn provides us with a thoroughly researched and biblically definitive description of heaven. As Alcorn addresses our most serious questions about heaven, including the nature of judgment, and answers a few of our less serious questions as well, including the accessibility of cafe mochas the sweet by and by, we will develop a deeper understanding of our eternal destination and will find the courage to strive for heaven while we're living on earth. |

 | Has Christianity Failed You? |
HERE IS BOTH WIT AND WISDOM
SOME SILLY THOUGHTS
SOME SERIOUS THOUGHTS
THINK ON THESE:
. "I feel good all over more than any other place."
. " I feel more like I do now than I ever have before."
. When it comes to your relationship with God there is no in between,
no fencing, no hedging, luke warm won't do - "Either you is in or you
is out - either you is or you ain't."
. Scripture says: Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
In other words, when you are over confident about your place be aware
that you might not be what you think you are.
"When you thinks you is, you ain't."
. WOULD YOU BELIEVE THIS: I was born at an early age, yes,
I was born young. Sound silly? You know it is a fact.
Here is another: I was born twice. That is just as much a fact.
Jesus said in John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
That's twice. Once a natural birth and then as we make it right
with Jesus Christ, repenting of our sins & turning our life over
to Him, a miracle happens, a spiritual birth - we are born again.
Read more about it in John chapter three.
. DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE RESURRECTION?
In my previous work place a sign hung over a water cooler that said:
"If you don't believe in the resurrection, be around here when the
four o'clock whistle blows."
FEAR False Evidence Appearing Real
Ephesians 2:14 For He is our peace, Who hath made both one, & hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
SOME GOOD MATH EQUATIONS: Jesus = peace No Jesus = no peace
THIS IS A CERTAINTY: You can count how many seeds are in an apple but you cannot calculate how many apples are in a seed.
So, when you become dissappointed that your gift to the Lord or your effort for the Lord's work might be too small - think about seeds, trees, orchards.
HOW ABOUT THIS: Where you go, that is where you will be. You will then be where you are. You cannot get away from yourself. Sooooooooooo, you have self to put up with. Love self? Well, not overmuch. However, if you don't properly maintain self physically and spiritually, you will be weak. And if you are weak in either area you are not much good to anyone else. Just a thought.
REAL LIFE: Certainly we cannot buy or earn our way to heaven with our good works. We do know that a true Christian will have good works because of his new nature and because of his love for God. But know that real life does not come as result of works that you do for God but real life is because of the work God does in you. And Heaven for you is the result only of God's grace and what Jesus did on the Cross.
HEY! Saying a prayer (reading, reciting) is not the same as PRAYING.
OLD AGE: When I bend over to get something I look all around and make sure that there is nothing else I need to get while I am down there. One trip is enough.
AGAIN: YOU NEED JESUS.
