Thoughts Of Christ For Every Day Of The Year 2 Issues

What thoughts come to mind in contemplating or responding to questions and statements such as, "What made God?" "If I'm wrong, God will forgive me because I'm sincere." "All religions are different ways to God." "God keeps telling me to keep searching." "God is nature." "No one knows anything for sure." "God means something different to every person." "Belief is subjective; you can't actually know." "So you can live anyway you want, then on your deathbed, just pray and ask Jesus into your heart and everything's cool? That makes no sense." Hammerud provides biblical insights and answers to such questions and statements along with insights into more than seventy topics from Scripture. Topics that encompass a range of doctrinal issues include the nature of God, Deity of Christ, nature of man, depravity, salvation, election, eternal security, repentance, righteousness, imputation, faith, baptism, prophecy, resurrection, creation, and more. An index links the topics to the relevant calendar dates in the book. "The foundation of our faith is Jesus and the Word of God. Winston Hammerud gives us simple, pointed, and thought-provoking topics for each day. He doesn't preach but compels us to examine the Scripture for foundational truths to make Jesus central to our lives and to get direction from the Word. You will be challenged to think for yourself and to apply truth to life. This is a great start or finish to every day" (Jerry White, PhD, international president emeritus, The Navigators). "Winston Hammerud applies God's Word in Every Day for a Year like an ointment on a troubled soul. Read these encouraging words and study the accompanying scriptures to find hope for your tomorrow" (Lt. Col. Robert L. Maginnis, US Army Retired, advisor to the Pentagon, author and political/military commentator on FOX News, Newsmax, CNN). "Winston Hammerud's book Every Day for a Year is a book that every Christian who loves the Bible will want to read. There is a reflection for each day of the year on some important biblical truth with numerous Scripture references. All who love the Bible will find valuable insights in this book" (Richard Hammerud, PhD, University of California, Berkeley).

Everyone worships. But Jesus tells us that God is seeking a particular kind of worshiper. In True Worshipers, a seasoned pastor and musician guides readers toward a more engaging, transformative, and biblically faithful understanding of the worship God is seeking. True worship is an activity rooted in the grace of the gospel that affects every area of our lives. And while worship is more than just singing, God’s people gathering in his presence to lift their voices in song is an activity that is biblically based, historically rooted, and potentially life-changing. Thoroughly based in Scripture and filled with practical guidance, this book connects Sunday worship to the rest of our lives—helping us live as true worshipers each and every day.

As Christians find themselves trapped in the rhetoric of platform, influence, retweets, and fame, they need a ladder out of the fray. Many of us live in a prison of self-absorption. Shackled with pride and despair, we compare ourselves to others constantly in our frantic, unending pursuit of perfection. Seated with Christ gets to the root of this behavior and charts a path to freedom. Scripture says that God’s beloved are seated with Christ in the heavens (Eph. 2:6), treasured by Him and given a place at His table. Heather Holleman unveils what this means for us. It means we walk out on the fight for acceptance. We quit measuring ourselves to others.We leap free from cycles of shame. Securely-seated people can ask themselves hard questions about their lives; they can deal with sin, grieve their losses, and move forward in hope. From a position of security and self-forgetfulness they can joyfully do the good works prepared for them uniquely. They can even celebrate the successes of others. Seated with Christ is a deeply personal, liberating look at a glorious truth: that we have a place at God's eternal table.
