If the sin of one man, Adam, has been passed on to the entire human race, how does this happen? Is it passed on biologically or spiritually? And if it is passed on spiritually, what is the conduit through which it passes from one man to another? All Christians assume that man is born with a fallen body and soul, but is man born with a fallen spirit as well? In The Triune Nature of Man, Reverend Terenyi explores what the Bible says on these subjects and compares this with observations that have been made in the fields of psychology and the occult. Many will be surprised at how much agreement can be found among these fields, even while they are at odds as to how this information should be used. His thoughts on these subjects could have major ramifications for everyone from theologians to therapists. Reverend John Terenyi is an avid reader with eclectic tastes and a diverse background. He has earned Certificates of Bible Studies from Philadelphia College of Bible and Emmanuel College, a certificate from the American Association of Christian Counselors, and has also received training from Liberty Home Bible Institute and Shepherds Seminary. He pastored for seven years at Baptist churches and still speaks occasionally while maintaining an online ministry. In his preaching and teaching, Reverend Terenyi attempts to show the supernatural character of the Bible as a miracle which can be seen in our day. While he touches on topics that are often considered antithetical to Christian teaching, he considers himself a Classic Dispensationalist and backs each of his opinions with solid Biblical support.

When we speak or hear the word "worship" we immediately relate the word to spiritual, religious, or Biblical connotations. We would be correct. The Bible is the only foundational teaching that gives us proof, truth, understanding, revelation, and knowledge regarding worship. For many years I thought I knew the meaning of worship. I even thought I had all the answers and why God created worship. It wasn't until COVID-19 invaded the earth, I began to understand that God wants us to worship Him according to His Word and not man's word! An Audience of One is a book, given to me by the Holy Spirit to have us exhaustively examine our worship toward Him. I was seven years old when my parents introduced me to the church and worship. I am fifty-nine years old and there are times I don't understand worship nor do I understand what God desires of my worship. When I walked away from man's opinions, ideas, and interpretations of what we call worship, I was able to understand that God wants us to worship Him according to His Spirit and His Truth! We're living in evil, uncertain, and perilous times. Diseases, famines, devastations, and all sorts of destructions are plaguing the earth. God is speaking and we're not listening nor are we responding. This is all due to our lack, deficient, incorrect, and unbiblical "worship." We can no longer afford to execute worship according to our opinions. There's a book filled with God's desires concerning how we must worship Him. It's time we open it, read it, study it, and apply it, the way God commands. In Spirit and in Truth!

This is a scriptural story narrated by a young child who shares her idyllic family life with the reader that is centered on Christ. Lots of lovable and nurturing interactions take place between her and her parents that create an environment and atmosphere that is charged with the beauty of heaven. Behold her innocent and tender heart open like a rare flower to receive Him. Daddy is an architect. He draws buildings and houses on paper from high up on his chair and big drawing table. He drew our house too. Our house is a country cottage with lots of rooms. When I drew a picture of our house I showed it to him and asked, "Does Jesus have a house like we do? Daddy, where is Jesus's house? Where does Jesus live?" Daddy answered, "Jesus's house is in my heart. He lives in Daddy's heart. It is a grand house!" Wow! I looked at Daddy and saw a great, big house sitting in his heart. I asked, "Is Mommy's heart Jesus's house too?" Daddy replied, "Yes, Jesus lives in Mommy's heart too." "Daddy," I said, "I want Jesus to make His house in my heart just like you and Mommy! Will Jesus come to live in my heart?" Daddy smiled. "Yes, He will! Just ask Him." "Jesus," I whispered. Here is Your new house, my heart. Please come and live in my heart just like Mommy and Daddy. Thank you, Jesus. I hope You will like Your new house." This story was written to reveal the act of simple acceptance a child demonstrates when receiving Christ as their Personal Savior and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Jesus did say that we all must change and become like little children to enter into the kingdom of heaven...(Matthew 18:1-5)

The peace, in a small urban Catholic parish, was shattered by the presence of an alcoholic pedophile Pastor. When the Author became aware of the harm being done he was pressed into a war with his Archdiocese in trying to remove the predator. The lack of courage and candor of the bureaucracy to remove a threat to the flock pressed this lifelong Catholic to reevaluate the process of leadership selection, from the towers of the Vatican to the basements of every parish, throughout the world. The Author concludes that Bishops, the world over, have become addicted to their own power and have often ignored the real Mission Statement; that of the Gospel of Jesus. With in-depth Scriptural research, the Author analyzes how Bishops are selected and how involvement of the faithful in the Apostolic Church was taken away and placed in perpetual control of an elite - now very much out of touch with their flocks and in some cases actually harming lambs. The Author suggests some solutions that can help the Church regain its accountability and credibility, avoiding the sacrifice of children to the Moloch of addiction and regain its focus on true ministry. A cradle Catholic, David Tracy attended an Archdiocesan elementary school and a Jesuit High School. After graduating, he was a Journalist for his local Archdiocesan newspaper. Eventually, he moved on to work for the Rocky Mountain News. Now retired, Tracy enjoys gardening, reading and has been a Lector and Cantor in his beloved parish for over 30 years. During the writing of this book Tracy became aware, through DNA testing, that his ancestry is Ashkenazi Jewish. This revelation has brought renewed interest in his Christianity by enhancing his study of Scripture, especially the Psalms. The Author wrote this book as a result of his efforts (eventually but not initially) to remove an alcoholic pedophile Pastor from his parish. The result required a reevaluation of how a Church, whose Mission Statement is the Gospel of Jesus, can perform just the opposite. Tracy believes the Bishops are so out of touch with their flocks that their selection process must be returned to the Apostolic norms where the faithful had a hand in their selection. While not perfect, a return to the origins could not be any worse than the current state of excess and debauchery. Tracy maintains that the Leadership of the Church has become addicted to their own power. The results are obvious with millions of Catholics leaving and very few young people seeking its graces. Enough is enough.

This highly Christocentric work concerns the fullness of deity and tremendous majesty of our Lord Jesus Christ. Readers will be awe-inspired by the joyful wonders of His infinite glory and everlasting reign, His incarnation of the One who inhabits eternity, and His fulfillment of Old Testament types of kingship and priesthood. We stand in awe of the universal miracle of redemption in His cross and historical resurrection, the exaltation of the Name above all names, and His return in power and great glory. As the One through whom the universe was created, the Archetype from heaven has generated a pervasively transformative impact upon the human image of God. He is the foundation for understanding our identity as men and women equally composing the royal priesthood in His likeness, together with our purpose, dignity, faith and reason, living for His glory, longing for eternal life, and our dreams of dwelling in and beholding His heavenly glory forevermore. While persevering in faith and withstanding competing ideologies, believers and truth-seekers of all backgrounds will be encouraged to refocus their eyes upon the Way, the Truth, and the Life, the Resurrection and the Life, the Lord of Glory and "The Joy of Our Desiring."

It's widely known that dogs are man's best friend. But did you know that they can be one of man's greatest teachers? There are many lessons about life we can learn from dogs, and in this inspiring book, author Debbie L. Cole presents some of them to you. Made For A Purpose Lessons: From My Sheepdogs by Debbie L. Cole shares the author's experience of raising sheepdogs and discusses how the relationship between a sheepdog and its master relates well to people's relationship with God, the Master. Told from the master's perspective in working with sheepdogs, it explains the tasks and skills required to herd sheep and bring them to the shepherd and uses Scripture passages to draw parallels between dogs made for the purpose of herding sheep and Christians made for the purpose of bringing lost sheep to the Master and Good Shepherd. As Debbie discusses several experiences with her three sheepdogs, she shows how the lessons she learned from them taught her more of how to live life as a follower of Christ. Each of her dogs had the skills and talents to be successful at herding sheep and serving their master, but each approached the work differently. Tux decided to be disobedient and ignore the master; Junebug chose to be as obedient as possible, always willing to serve and looking for opportunities to do so; and Rascal didn't want to work but would rather play. Including questions at the end of chapters to encourage introspection and thought, readers will be able to learn from each dog's responses and realize that in many ways, when it comes to our walk with God, we've done the same. Debbie Cole draws from her experience as a shepherd, sheep owner, dog handler, and devoted Christian to shed light on how our relationship with Jesus parallels His love for the sheep of this world. She has valuable experience in tending sheep and competing in sheep dog trials and thus possesses deep insight into their nature and tendencies. She is a skilled sign language interpreter and has presented many classes and lectures on this relationship to both Deaf and Hearing audiences. For many years she has spread the love she received from Christ with her husband, two daughters, eleven grandchildren, and all who know her.

I have written this book in response to the Journey which took me through many different stages of life. For growing up as the son of a share cropper in a very small town in North Alabama known as Falkville, we were very poor which carried with it a very low self-esteem. Living in an age of segregation it was very difficult to even imagine being able to rise from the poverty that existed. But God! It was following my graduation from high school that God's providence was upon me. I lived a ruthless life for about three years and at the age of twenty-one I received Jesus as my Savior. What a change came in my life. Following my salvation experience, I began to discover who I was in Christ, what I have and what I could do in Christ and my low self-esteem became a vibrant God-esteem which led me to attend Bible College. I received a BA and BTH Degree from Birmingham Baptist Bible College and a Masters of Divinity Degree from Birmingham Theology Seminary and in the process, I have Pastored forty-three years which involved three churches with me Pastoring thirty-seven years at Mount Pleasant Missionary Baptist Church, where I presently preside. This Book is the results of My Journey which attempted to detail what brought me from a life of low self-esteem, poverty and a ruthless lifestyle to a life of a rich God-esteem and a supporter of the Kingdom of God in every way. {For God has blessed me to preach the Gospel internationally in Albania and Uganda, Africa, where I am the overseer of a church that our church has established in Gulu and its sole supporter. I have been traveling there for the past five years overseeing and preaching the Gospel. My destiny is in the process of being fulfilled.} I believe the concepts and principles in this Book will truly be a help in you coming into and fulfilling Your Destiny. My prayer is that The Fulfillment of God Given Destiny will become your road map on Your Journey.

As COVID restrictions begin to lessen, recently widowed D travels to Calgary, Alberta, to present a workshop at a pastors' conference. But as conference activities wind down, the Anti-Christian Coalition attacks churches in North America, killing thousands. As part of their attack on Christians, the ACC tries to kidnap her and six of her co-presenters in an attempt to silence her and the podcasts she broadcasts on a regular basis.

In the process of evading the ACC, D works though the process of grieving and stagnation and recovers the vibrant faith she once enjoyed when her husband was with her.

What we have seen is that the power to avoid tragedy is far beyond us. No amount of wishful thinking can keep us away from being a partaker. You may work hard, prepare for a good life but unable to prepare for misfortune that drops down on you like a hot cake. Pain caused by the passing of a love one hurts beyond anything imaginable! Who wants pain and suffering? We all will do everything in our reach to cast lot against it. Some people think otherwise. One of those is Philip Yancy. He writes: "my discussion of pain, then must begin with a look at the human body, why do I need pain? When I hurt what is my body telling me? I begin here with the close-up view, because that perspective is one most often overlooked by people fumbling with the question, Where Is God When It Hurts?" Harmon D.

Rowdy Long, a retired rodeo cowboy has his hands full raising his teen-aged daughter, Charlotte on the shores of nearby Lost Lake. Charlotte has a talent for art and a knack for picking losers for friends. The old mill has caught Rowdy's eye, too. If he had his way, he'd retore the idle paddle wheel, paint it bright red and turn the old mill into a burger joint with an old-fashioned soda fountain along the back wall. Wishful thinking for an old cowboy. Sheriff Buck suspects foul play when the orphaned boy, Max gets mixed up with a skeleton in a cellar and Kyle meets the woman of his dreams, only to have her job with the EPA turn into his worst nightmare?

Childhood abuse; sexual trauma; marital strife; broken relationships; crises of faith. Any one of these could devastate even the strongest individual for a lifetime. How, then, did one woman overcome each of these trials and emerge more fortified than ever? For author Christina Orosco-Maxwell, her life's testimony is the answer. Through a series of moving personal accounts, Testimonies of the Lord's Faithfulness Through the Darkness invites readers into the darkest recesses of the author's past-from the assault and neglect she suffered at the hands of her supposed protectors, to personal failings as a wife, to a departure from Christianity, and beyond-to demonstrate how, through it all, God was standing alongside and guiding her steps toward something much greater. Transformed by His love and healed by the Holy Spirit, Maxwell writes to inspire and encourage anyone who has faced similar hardship; to uplift and fortify the broken, the suffering, the wronged, with the knowledge that there is a hope in Christ that surpasses any and every circumstance this life has to offer.

Our team has gathered and packaged information that will give you the guidance you need for success on your visionary journey to your destiny. Up-to-date information has been gathered from religious leaders, secular business owners, vendors, consultants and other experts. Starting a business can be an exciting and rewarding adventure or it can be a devastating venture. Good times or bad, it is the character of the entrepreneur, which guides a business to success or helps it to bounce back from setbacks. To survive as an entrepreneur, you must be willing to sacrifice your time and energy to make your venture work. Unfortunately, many entrepreneurs do not realize how much of themselves they will need to give their business. This partially explains why only a handful of new businesses survive past three years. There has been a substantial amount of professional efforts to complete this Guide. My prayer is that the deposit made, through you reading and using this Guide, will increase your knowledge to develop and operate a successful business, God's way. My final request is that you pay it forward and bless someone else with what you have learned.

After being born again, spiritual growth is God's goal and top priority for every believer (Matthew 6:33). Although God is working tirelessly to bring each believer into maturity (Philippians 1:6), not every believer knows that it is their responsibility to work out what God is working into them (Philippians 2:12). Every believer is required to participate in the process of their perfection. When spiritual growth is neglected, one's spiritual life is affected (2 Corinthians 9:6). We cannot force spiritual growth, but we can facilitate it by making our hearts, heads and habitations fertile. God is growing something great and He has given us tools to aide in this process. Spiritual Growth Plan is one such tool to accomplish just that! Take it up and use it today as a sure guide to help you along the way. God will be pleased, and you will prosper...guaranteed!

Memories are powerful and wonderful. They help us reflect on who we are and how we have gotten to where we are today. They should be shared with others, especially family and friends, to help keep our stories and history alive. Memories can be happy, sad, good, and/or bad. Some are better remembered than others, but they cannot be changed, They are a part of us. Examine and reflect on them from time to time, as I have. Enjoy my memories and remember your own.

To what did your experiences, feelings or spiritual leadership introduce you? Is your spiritual focus being sifted by your feelings based on your experiences? Feelings have a short lifespan, the same as a carnal mind. Your spiritual focus is not designed to get tired when God is your vision. If you are tired, God obviously hasn't happened to you yet. Therefore, when you run out of yourself, you run into God. Life is a curriculum prescribed by God specifically for your flesh to teach you what your spirit already knows through the process of development. Your flesh is not capable of making spiritual decisions, therefore you have no choice but to go to God for the best decisions you will ever make in your life. There is much more joy and praise in you than tears and sorrow, but this happens only when God happens to you. (Pr. 3:5-6; Ps. 23; Mt. 19:23-26; Phil. 4:13; Rom. 8:6-8; Rom. 10:4-13; Is. 26:3; Jn. 10:27-30) This book is taken from a series of sermonettes inspired by my many life experiences when I had no other choice but to use my faith in God through Jesus Christ to overcome them. I wrote this book to share with everyone how God can happen to all of us.

Why hello there! Yes, that's right, you. Since you're reading this, there's probably some interest to understand what this story is about. Oruaural's scribe Ernest, advised Oruaural that one of the best ways to ginny up interest for a story is an introduction. Of course, Oruaural is breaking the fourth wall with our conversation, and speaking in third person too! But as an incarnation of madness, perhaps that helps us all understand each other better. This story is about how Oruaural became what Oruaural is now. Earth has many odd stories of odd things done by odd people. So are we all, in the telling. Except it's not Earth. Such as how technology meets magic or how even while ruling over the Shifting Stones, Oruaural is also Ekallr's servant. Whether that hurts or helps with generating interest is up to you now. This story has charcoal-eating soldiers made of living bronze, asteroids covered with plants floating in a giant bubble of atmosphere, flying airships that mimic whales streaming lightning, and that's just the Shifting Stones! What Ernest didn't know was how he related to the Prognostication of the Golden Transmogrification. Perhaps we'll figure that out before he did! The prophecy also meant he needed to be flung through space and time at the speed of light. For Ernest to find help for Oruaural. So these agents could take action against evil, where and when Oruaural wasn't. Is that good for a summary? Just remember, moralistic ideals are driven by the deeds and words of our values. So we must never forget what we know of them, nor let them be compromised. Is love a guardian or a treasure? What if it is both?

According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, "On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. During one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men."[i] The number one question most people on the outside looking in ask is, "Why do they stay?" What makes a man or a woman stay with someone who voices their love in one breathe yet destroys their partner's soul through physical, emotional, and psychological abuse in the very next? Jacqualine Boles never considered herself a victim of abuse while she was with her abusive partners. Things were always "just difficult", "not exactly what she had expected", "going to get better one day". These were the lies she told herself just to get through the day. When she finally accepted that things would no longer get better; she left her drug-addict husband for what she thought was a much better man. Her rebound relationship seemed like an excellent catch; he wasn't dabbling in drugs so that was an excellent start. Little did she know she had just stepped into drama that the best daytime soap operas would covet-multiple baby mamas, cheating spouses, noisy in-laws, small-town gossip and even murder! Why She Stayed is just that, a story of why one woman stayed in her awful relationships only to realize later that there was much more she could experience in a relationship.

My Book is about my family moving from New Orleans Louisiana to Compton California doing the Watts Riot with six children. My father was starting a new job. I am the eldest child and I helped raise them while both parents worked. I had a lot of responsibility and I was codependent but over the years with therapy I learned better and had boundaries. But I had a long hard road of learning experiences with family and friends finding out about the wrong and right ways. Thank God for good people and God fearing folks along the way. Some will laugh and some may cry but we will learn how to do and live life better. All I want for all to have is a better quality of life and to enjoy it to the fullest the way God intended. So take this short journey with me and you won't regret it. My hobbies are reading, crocheting, sewing, and ceramics. As a child I received lots of diaries and that got me to writing and it was a way of releasing tensions and frustrations too. I was born Yolanda Marie Thiel, February 22,1955 in New Orleans LA. I lived there until I was seven years old, and the family moved to Compton CA in 1965. My father Rodney Anthony Thiel Sr. started a new job at the Chrysler corporation. My mother is Bonita Lucille Thiel, she currently was a stay-at-home mom. I was the oldest of six children, I had four sisters and two brothers. We attended private school; we went to Saint Albert the great Catholic school in Compton. I started off at pioneer elementary school in Compton and went to Enterprise middle school in Compton from there graduated and went to Regina Calie high school in Compton. I graduated and went to Compton junior college for two years and graduated and went to Cal State Dominguez hills university in Carson graduated and received my bachelor's degree in Human Services major in a minor in arts degree.

I enjoy speaking to people and telling them about Jesus and leading them to salvation currently. I kept a lot of memoirs; I kept a lot of Diaries and began writing even from an early age I always received Diaries. And books so I kept a lot of things that happened in my life. I would always write, so this got me into writing a lot of books and I would keep them and then the Lord put it on my heart this would be something that I can do to earn my keep. I decided I didn't want to work anymore selling my wares because of my health I had different health issues. So, this was another way that I can still earn my key and do an honest day's work. This is how I came about being in writer at this time my hobbies are reading, writing, crocheting, sewing, I have a cat, name Alexander.
