The Art Of Abiding

Experience fruitful life with fullness of Joy. The secret is "Abiding in Christ" based on Gospel of John chapter 15. This is not a one-time activity but a daily discipline. This 30 day devotion helps you deepen your desire to experience God and inspire you to develop disciplined time with God. When our connections can do great things in our life, imagine what your connection with God can do for you.

The Art Of Abiding is a well-documented reality, but a road rarely taken.Our oneness with Jesus through Holy Spirit is not just sound doctrine, it is aninvitation into what the modern church gave up imagining or believing even possible!66 times the Apostle whom Jesus loved, John, the beloved, used the word Greekword "meno" to describe our relationship with Jesus. To abide is to stay, to remain, tocome in and never leave, to be enduringly present.At best abiding is typically taught as a high and vague ideal. It is rather anACTUAL PLACE within you who have been born into spirit! The PLACE of abidingis your spirit which has been made ONE with Holy Spirit!It is not designed for the occassional visit!It is not intended as a road that is crossed on occasion, by accident.It is Our House Of Prayer to which we are called to come in and be ever present in!Every moment of every day can be lived here in the very Presence of Holy, woveninto the very fabric of Holy Spirit!NOT JUST A "WHAT IF"IT IS OUR DESTINY

Post-war, post-industrialism, post-religion, post-truth, post-biological, post-human, post-modern. What succeeds the post- age? Mark C. Taylor returns here to some of his central philosophical preoccupations and asks: What comes after the end? Abiding Grace navigates the competing Hegelian and Kierkegaardian trajectories born out of the Reformation and finds Taylor arguing from spaces in between, showing how both narratives have shaped recent philosophy and culture. For Hegel, Luther’s internalization of faith anticipated the modern principle of autonomy, which reached its fullest expression in speculative philosophy. The closure of the Hegelian system still endures in the twenty-first century in consumer society, financial capitalism, and virtual culture. For Kierkegaard, by contrast, Luther’s God remains radically transcendent, while finite human beings and their world remain fully dependent. From this insight, Heidegger and Derrida developed an alternative view of time in which a radically open future breaks into the present to transform the past, demonstrating that, far from autonomous, life is a gift from an Other that can never be known. Offering an alternative genealogy of deconstruction that traces its pedigree back to readings of Paul by way of Luther, Abiding Grace presents a thoroughgoing critique of modernity and postmodernity’s will to power and mastery. In this new philosophical and theological vision, history is not over and the future remains endlessly open.

Abide in me as I abide in you. As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love.

A Timeless Guide to the Art of Abiding Many a faithful Christian has pondered over Jesus' command in John 15: "abide in me." Compelled by the invitation but baffled by how to practically achieve it, they fail to grasp the power and promise within the Savior’s most important command. South African pastor, teacher, and writer, Andrew Murray, (1828-1917) believed that abiding was the highest call for every Christian; the key to pressing beyond the mere threshold of salvation into the fullness of all that Jesus’s death & resurrection secured. Arguably the finest of Murray’s extensive works, Abide in Christ is a 31-day devotional suffused with glory; a direct invitation to learn and walk in the power of abiding.
