Résultats pour "Normal!" dans Religion et spiritualité

Jesus and the Book of Acts are the standard of Normal Christianity. Remember the fad a few years ago when people wore bracelets reminding them, "What Would Jesus Do?" Christians state that Jesus is the example of how to live, yet this has been limited in many cases to how we view our moral character. When Christians tell me that they want to live like Jesus, I like to ask if they have multiplied food, healed the sick, walked on water, raised the dead, paid their taxes with fish money, calmed storms, and so forth. I typically receive bewildered looks, but that's what it is like to live like Jesus!

An unforgettable true story of a life-altering incident and the ensuing emotional cycles colliding with the Peacegiver, who unveils acceptance, balance, and love--piece by piece. Just shy of twenty-five, Teresa Brunsting had everything she thought she needed for a good life--a great job, loyal friends, and a boyfriend. She dreamed of a more lasting "normal": marriage, family, and stability. Beneath the surface, however, was an unpredictable anger and shame that sent her on harmful detours. When her emotions finally overwhelmed her, life was never the same.

Jonah’s encounter with a big fish is one of the most widely recognized—and misunderstood—stories in the Bible. In this highly accessible guide to the book of Jonah, Jared Byas invites modern-day listeners to explore the context behind the story and consider the questions Jonah’s early audience faced: questions about the relationship between justice and mercy, what it means to be a worshipper of Yahweh (and who gets to be one), and what happens when God doesn’t act how we would like.

Normal is a myth—and recognizing that truth can free us all. In a world obsessed with fitting in, Better Than Normal dares to ask a revolutionary question: What if the problem isn’t people who don’t conform, but the idea of “normal” itself?

In today's world, the common has become the norm. Just take a glance at any social media platform--everyone seems to be following the same trends.

God is shaping you through your current situation, not to be average but to be extraordinary--someone ready to be used for His glory.

The truth is far too many of us visit the land of God’s blessing but never live there. We spend much of our lives feeling like we are on the outside of his blessing looking in, but never knowing a sustained experience of God’s best. This book explores the pathway into the Promised Land that Joshua and the people of Israel trekked and provides spiritual principles for fighting the spiritual battles that unlock a life of walking in God’s best.

Are you facing natural “impossibilities”? Are you waiting on God to break through for you? Do you sometimes have the sense that you were created for more than the temporal illusion surrounding you? This book, birthed in the counsel rooms of heaven, will provide a “you are here” on your spiritual map and will answer questions about your life and situation that you may have found perplexing. The wisdom of heaven paired with simple and practical action steps will bring you into alignment and will usher you into the dimension where miracles are your norm.

Do you feel that your life is pleasing to God - almost? When you hear about pastors, missionaries, and popular speakers, do you feel just a bit second-class, as if your life appears lukewarm and not as radical as theirs? You're not alone. A vague sense of guilt is common in the church. We know God's grace is the key to eternal life, but it's so much more than that - it's the key to a joy-filled walk with him every moment. Josh Kelley shows why you don't have to give away everything you own to be a fully committed follower of Jesus Christ.

It's unnerving, isn't it? When our faith feels ungrounded, untethered . . . unreal. When our certainty is adrift, as though an undercurrent has pulled us away from shore into the deep, into the darkness. And if this is you—if you're in a dark night of the soul—please know that you are not alone. (And you are not as far away from safety as you may feel or fear.) The night is not your enemy. In fact, the night is necessary. Revered author, speaker, and mentor Dr. Alicia Britt Chole offers a groundbreaking perspective that reveals spiritual disillusionment as an unexpected friend.

This comprehensive guide is designed to help you and your church enter a lifestyle where the supernatural becomes normal—a lifestyle in which God’s perfect will breaks into this world, and Jesus is glorified.

Behind the scenes of movies like The Ten Commandments, The Prince of Egypt, or Exodus: Gods and Kings is a complicated, and at times, messy biblical story. In this short guide to the book of Exodus, Biblical scholar Peter Enns doesn't just break down the story for the average person to understand but takes us behind the story - to the history and traditions that led us to the story as we have it today. By asking the important questions, and taking us along Moses's and the Israelite journey, Enns brings the best in biblical scholarship to us everyday people.
