Each chapter of A Word from His Word focuses on a single word or phrase from a short biblical passage. By returning to a simple but effective approach to Bible reading, your daily time will be invigorated.Philemon and Titus were written by St. Paul about situations that arose in the churches of Colossae and Crete respectively. Although short, considered too brief by some to hold theological weight, they are in fact packed with practical lessons.Philemon concerns the return of a runaway slave who, after his flight for freedom, became a Christian. This personal letter paints a picture of Paul as a compassionate and gracious apostle, speaks of the slave's courage and calls for honour and integrity from his master.Titus, a letter which contains some similar themes, serves as a primer for young Christian leaders. Titus was to draw out from the Cretan church those who had been stamped by the grace of Christ and had the aura of saltiness that comes from His seasoning.Both letters hold salient lessons for us today. We pray that as you read this edition of A Word from His Word, the readings will inspire you according to their original purpose, enriching you with the fullness of Christ's grace.

The Lord created everything in heaven and on earth - and it was beautiful. The situation only went wrong because of the devil. And our lives will go wrong, too, when we yield to him.But with prayer, all things are possible. In this book, believers will come to the knowledge of the power that Christ gave us through the cross. They will also learn how to wield that power in order for them to live victorious, fruitful Christian lives.

Have you ever felt like laughing at God's words of promise? If so, it is most likely an incredulous laughter. Sarah laughed when she was told, "Next year, at a time like this, you will have a son." Abraham also laughed!To these two people, God asked, "Is anything too hard for me?" He still asks the same question today, to remind us that nothing is impossible to Him. It is not that people forget that God is able, but rather that they need to be reminded that He is God Almighty, with the power to perform miracles beyond human understanding.When we think it is too late for us to receive our miracle, when we believe that God has forgotten about us, or when we no longer feel qualified, God still works. Whatever your story, no matter how hard it is, be assured of this: God can do what He has said He will do.

The terror of the night rages. Arrows fly by day. Pestilence stalks in darkness. Destruction wastes at noonday (Psalm 91:7). It seems hopeless on so many fronts. Fear, loss, anxiety, depression, anger ... these and other emotions seem to be gripping the hearts of believers. Where can I go for refuge and deliverance? Is there a place of safety and hope, and if there is, how do I get there? This book is an invitation to walk through Psalm 91, encounter El Elyon, the Most High, and find the path to dwelling in His presence.

This book presents a collection of true stories from the life of a missionary in Central America. Through these experiences, God used Don Dodsworth to touch the hearts of a people who were extremely poor and plagued by malaria, tuberculosis, a variety of parasites, and a habitual life of drunkenness which led to an extremely low survival rate. It may appear that Don was chosen by God, like he chose the Jewish people in the Bible, to lift these people out of their destitute situation and put their feet on solid ground.

From the onset, Apostle Scantlebury presents the tenets of his tome, by eloquently contrasting the two dimensions of Faith: (1) where we use our Faith to acquire and believe God for new things and victories in Him and (2) where we use that same Faith to resist and battle against all odds that is thrown at us.After defining the elements of faith, Apostle Michael empowers us with the tools to increase our faith: Our knowledge of God and the application of what we know. It's not enough to know what the Word of God says. What produces real faith is displayed when our actions match our belief.Apostle Scantlebury gives us an accurate understanding of the benefits of our trials. Contrary to our Westernized belief, Faith and trials are mutually inclusive. We are encouraged to keep trusting God despite the opposition. Trusting God then becomes the substratum of having a pleasant relationship with Him.

Being separated from my family at the age of five was far more devastating than the disability caused by the injuries at my birth. Most five-year-old children are just learning to read and tie their shoes. However, being deprived of nurturing stability, I became emotionally disconnected. This robbed me of my identity and purpose, and the broken parental bond profoundly affected my personality.If you feel estranged from your social roots because of choices others have made on your behalf, you are not alone. Like many other disabled children of my generation, an institution was the only answer. Others have had similar experiences, like the Indigenous children in Canada who were subjected to residential schools. My story is one of hope. I don't want to undo the injustice but offer hope for emotional wholeness. I have found that true connection is worth every ounce of effort and that social bonding brings true freedom.

Saving Gaia dives into the insights developed over eighty-four years by Gilbert J. Borsa on a wide range of topics, from the creation of our universe, our planet and its species, democratic and non-democratic governments, the economy, taxation, education, war, and even married life. It gives advice to desperate young people on how to climb out of the depths of hell. It describes the existence of the human soul and the moral code embedded in the human brain which governs our actions and creates our sense of self-worth. It encourages organized religious institutions to enhance their moral codes to include behaviours we individually and collectively need to, as the title implies, save our planet, Gaia.

Each chapter of A Word from His Word focuses on a single word or phrase from a short biblical passage. By returning to a simple but effective approach to Bible reading, your daily times will be invigorated.1 and 2 Thessalonians were written by St. Paul, Silas, and Timothy while they were in Corinth on a missionary journey. Paul had briefly visited Thessalonica and was anxious to hear how the church had survived without his presence and teaching. Timothy had recently returned from Thessalonica with positive news: the church was alive, well, and thriving.However, the people's interest in spirituality had clouded the thinking of some and Paul was quick to refocus them on the truth they had originally been taught. Modern society, like that of ancient Thessalonica, is full of many beliefs and abstract spirituality. We can readily be deceived into adopting some of these abstractions into our lives and churches. Paul, Silas, and Timothy would encourage us to hold fast to the truth of the original gospel.We pray that as you read this edition of A Word from His Word, your own experience of Him will be recentred and renewed.

Each chapter of A Word from His Word focuses on a single word or phrase from a short biblical passage. By returning to a simple but effective approach to Bible reading, your daily times will be invigorated.Colossians was written by St. Paul and Timothy during Paul's first imprisonment in Rome. Paul had been locked up with another evangelist called Epaphras, who had brought the gospel to the Colossians. Paul watched Epaphras pray for the young church in Colossae, and decided to write and encourage them.Just as Paul wrote to Colossae, a place where he had not visited nor evangelized, he might as well be writing to our own churches. Churches where modern Christianity is just as vulnerable as the ancient church, to being over sophisticated by religious rules and traditions.Paul's message of encouragement, focus and avoiding distractions remains applicable even through the passage of time. We pray that as you read this edition of A Word from His Word, your own experience of Him will be recentred and renewed.
