As a man thinks, so is he. This is a fact we do well to heed. -For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace- (Rom. 8:6-9) In Mind Frames, the author shares six scriptural exercises to strengthen the mind's ability to focus Godward and then presents a dozen Christlike attitudes -mind frames- to guard our thoughts in challenging circumstances. These mind frames are used by the spirit to bring our thoughts into alignment with the ways of God. -And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus- (Phil....

From Scripture, we will learn of God's holy anger, then commence upon the difficult task of aligning our selfish anger and unrighteous behavior with His righteousness. This task will require each of us to honestly evaluate our anger tendencies, to remove internal conditions that frequently induce angry feelings, and to learn techniques to mange our anger in a God-honoring way. If you mismanage anger, this book will guide you into better self-control. Be Angry And Sin Not tackles such questions as, Why am I angry? Should I be angry? How do I control my angry feelings? How can my anger benefit...

The Fruitful Vine contains six sections. The first, The Marital Union, supplies the biblical foundation for the remainder of the book: Why was marriage instituted, and what was God's best plan for marriage? The chapter "To Marry or Not?" offers guidance and encouragement to unmarried women, both those called to "singleness" and those "maids in waiting." The following three sections pertain to the natural roles a married woman will find the most joy in fulfilling - namely, being a companion to her husband, bearing and nurturing children, and keeping an ordered home. The fifth section, The...

It was refreshing and encouraging to read a book, that did not focus on man's needs or a "how to" method for success. Behold the Saviour focuses on the Lord Jesus: His Godhood, human goodness and glories as revealed in the multi-faceted presentation of Holy Scriptures. For when we behold Him in His glory we are "changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord" (2 Cor. 3:18). -Anonymous Pre-Publication Reviewer (to Christ be the glory ) Charles Haddon Spurgeon once said, "The more you know about Christ, the less you will be satisfied with superficial views of...

Is scriptural terminology important? Does wrong terminology tend to lead to erroneous Church practices? Do I ignorantly show disdain for the Lord's name by the way in which I address Him or speak of Him to others? What is the sin of blasphemy? Can a Christian blaspheme God today? These are some of the questions Hallowed Be Thy Name examines in detail. Our speech and behaviour reflect our heart's adoration for the Lord Jesus and, thus, directly affect our testimony of Him to the world. May God bestow us grace to "buy the truth, and sell it not" (Prov. 23:23), and may each one be subject to the...

The greatest benefits God has conferred on
human life, fatherhood, motherhood, childhood,
home, become the greatest curse if
Jesus Christ is not the head. - Oswald Chambers

Most of the Christian childrens ministry today is aimed at raising "moral" children. The teaching of right and wrong is necessary, but this agenda will fall pitifully short of producing "spiritual" children. Children must develop morally, physically, spiritually, emotionally, and academically, to really thrive and reach Gods full potential for their lives. When children have a balanced development they lay hold of...

In Moses' day the Israelites failed to obtain God's rest in Canaan because of disbelief (Heb. 4:4-6). Under Joshua's leadership, the Israelites did enter the land and after seven years of conquest obtained God's rest, but then failed to secure their inheritance in faith after receiving it. Consequently, the rest Jehovah had for them was never fully realized and, in time, was lost. The writer of Hebrews uses their failure as an exhortation, "Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience" (Heb. 4:11-12). The matter of victorious...

Many Christians have read the books of Jeremiah and Lamentations, but few (including myself, until recently) have made these a topic of thorough study. Some contend that the prophetic narrative of Jeremiah and its epilogue, Lamentations, have Jewish historical significance only and no application for the Church today. Others choose to merely skim these texts because their -doom and gloom- format is distressing; they may glean little from these books other than gratitude to God that they did not have Jeremiah's calling. Others might lack the discipline to stick with the topic to the end; after...
