God Focus

The prophet Isaiah's life was forever changed through his vision of the holy God. In this God-focused moment, Isaiah also saw the sinfulness of his own life in a startling new way. It was a moment that would constrain and impel Isaiah all the days of his life. Like Isaiah, we need a fresh view of God. We need to see God as He truly is absolutely holy. We need to see our sin as God sees it. And we need to realize that while God demands holiness, He cleanses and uses imperfect people. When we come into the presence of almighty God, and we catch a glimpse of Him as He really is, we are driven to worship him in his absolute holiness. Is it still possible to encounter the living God today? Although we are prone to think of important people as unapproachable, the God of the universe not only has made it possible for us to know Him, but it is His deep desire that we do so. God Focus will lead you on an encounter with the living word behind the written word. Discover what was meant by the superlative song of the seraphim, the three-fold repetition of "holy, holy, holy," and learn simple biblical truths that will help you become more like Christ. By examining God's awesome holiness, as seen through Isaiah's eyes, you may get a fresh glimpse of the holiness of God in your own life. Perhaps you, too, will never be the same.

God's Focus on the Fatherless is an excellent thematic study guide offering a fresh perspective to leaders of local churches who desire to be in tune with God's heart for the marginalized within our communities.

The principles are timeless and presented in a format accessible to leaders and students of the Bible alike. The fresh perspective is sure to cause a greater ownership of ministry in both the local church and the local community. The "fatherless" principles presented will facilitate positive personal and corporate changes in a church's unique ministry setting.

The study will inspire fervent discussion and then move quickly to practical application.

Focus on God’s Word, and see it come to pass. “And it shall come to pass that when your days are fulfilled to go to be with your fathers, I will raise up your off-spring after you, who will be of your sons, and I will establish his kingdom.” —I Chronicles 17:11 My great-great-grandfather, Elder Aaron Bazemore (in middle); my sister, Angel (far left); and myself, Linda (far right) In Jesus’ name, thank you, Heavenly Father, for answering the prayers of my ancestry and allowing me to see the mantle of God being passed to the next generation and generations to come.

Focus on God is a plea to do just that--focus on God. In recent years, many ministers and priests have lost confidence in the value of their work. Many have wondered whether the clergy still have a role in the life of the community. Here is an exciting picture of the minister as a resource person, able to communicate some of the riches of our theological heritage to the new generation of Christians and able to appropriate some of the rewards of scientific and cultural explorations for the nourishment of the life of the church. The minister is seen as the person who can bring together intellect and imagination to enable and interpret a continuing conversation between tradition and present experience. The task of the minister and priest involves, above all, attention to God, and the attempt to help others think about God for themselves.
