I think there is a resistance within me when it comes to giving God my all, even when I know that is the right thing to do. Since the error of my way is comfortable and familiar, even when God’s blessing is withheld, I want to pretend it is for reasons other than me. In order to break this same type of resistance by the nation Israel, God uses two men to speak to the nation on His behalf. They were the prophets Haggai and Zechariah. I wonder if these two prophets can’t light our own path back to where God wants us to be in life, to understand what He wants us to do here and now. If you ...

"Everything great in history has been built by people who dreamed of a bigger future. I loved reading Go Forth with Hearts on Fire. It is profound and practical. I hope the whole diocese gathers around Bishop Loverde to bring this bold vision to life." -- Matthew Kelly, founder of DynamicCatholic.com In Go Forth with Hearts on Fire, Bishop Paul S. Loverde challenges all of us to realize that we are meant to be evangelists, no matter what our state in life or profession may be. This compelling pastoral letter invites us to refocus our lives on Christ. In deepening our relationship with Him, ...

Yehovah told Daniel that the words where closed and sealed until the Time of the End. Now that the Time has come the words are being opened and Yehovah is revealing things about the Time of the End that have previously been closed.

Follow along in this End Time Bible Study and see what the Church has been missing all these years since the Messiah's First Coming. Now that the Time has come, there is no time to lose...

Todd Wilson’s church was devoted to the gospel and had long aspired to be the kind of city on a hill Jesus talks about in the Sermon on the Mount. They wanted their hurting neighbors to see the light of Christ and be drawn to meet Jesus, and they found the answers they were looking for in Titus. In that often-overlooked book of the Bible, they discovered a call to be zealous for good works. Zealous for Good Works is an exposition of Titus with a particular focus on mobilizing the church towards acting in kindness and goodness toward her neighbors.

This book is for parents or carers, those with faith or no faith, to share with their children. This is the second book in the series. The first was about how Nathaniel's parents, Michelle and Jason, prayed for a son. That book ended with a celebration after Nathaniel was dedicated to God on his first visit to church. This book picks up the theme of the dedication and then journeys with the parents through Nathaniel's first year in church. It looks at how his parents manage the transition from a couple to a family with a young baby in church.

GOD wants our lives to be bright. He wants them to shine like lamps in the darkness. The world needs nothing so much as light — not light blazing in the far-off sky, but light pouring out softly, low down, close to the earth, from human lives which have been kindled at the heart of God. The aim of the gospel of Christ is to make human lives bright with the brightness of God's own holiness. There is a word in one of St. Paul's letters which puts this truth in the form of an exhortation. "Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind." The word "transformed" suggests a change from dulness ...

Dear Children, I should like you all to be very wise. Wisdom is far better than money, or fine clothes, or grand houses, or horses and carriages. People who are not wise seldom get on well; they are seldom happy. My best wish for any dear boys and girls that I love is, that they may grow up very wise. But how are we to be wise? Some of you will ask. What are we to do in order to get this wisdom, which you tell us is such a good thing? Dear children, if you would be wise, you must pray to God to put his Holy Spirit in your hearts, and give yon wisdom. This is one thing. Besides this, you ...

In a day of religious controversy, no one is so useful to his generation as the man who contributes a little “light.” Amidst the din and strife of ecclesiastical warfare, amidst the fog and dust stirred up by excited disputants, amidst assertions and counter-assertions, a thinking man will often cry with the dying philosopher,—“I want more light: give me more light.” He that can make two ears of corn grow where one grew before, has been rightly called a benefactor to mankind. He that can throw a few rays of fresh light on the theological questions of the day, is surely doing a ...

I do not know into whose hands this tract may fall. But I know there is no living soul, who ought not to feel an interest in its subject. Young men or maidens, old men or children, married or single, gentle or simple, listen to a question;—Shall you be saved? Reader, I entreat you in all affection, to examine the question I put before you. I address you as a dying creature,—an immortal creature,—a creature going to be judged before the bar of God. As ever you would die in peace, rise again with hope, be acquitted in the day of judgment, and live for ever in glory,—give me a hearing ...

THE messages for young lives "which compose this little volume are found in the book of Jeremiah. They spoke strongly to my own heart during a long and lonely voyage on a tropic sea, and I wrote them down more for my own instruction and inspiration than with the thought of publishing them for others. But whatever reaches one heart is apt to reach another. Whatever helps one life is pretty sure to help another. Hoping that this little book may not prove to be an exception to this nearly universal rule, I send it on its way. May it speak some word of counsel to many a modest youth who like ...

THE great fact of the Old Testament is the fact of God. Amid all life's uncertainties He was to the devout Hebrew the supreme certainty, the great Person with whom one had always to reckon. His presence might be radiantly manifested in the material blessings of this life — in the grain, the wine, and the oil, in peace and prosperity, and other such things dear to the ancient Hebrew heart; or He might seem to stand afar off and hide His face. But always He was felt to be somewhere; happiness lay in being near Him, and His friendship was the most precious thing in the world. Thus nothing ...

In this non-fiction departure, Donley makes her somewhat reluctant debut as Hadassah, an end-times prophet with a message from God for modern believers past, present, and future. In this laid-back yet detailed first-person account, Donley details her call to the ministry by God in 2024— with God Himself as her special interview guest. In this compelling account, packed with unexpected humor, depth, irreverence, and spiritual wrestling, Donley invites you to take her as seriously as you can manage. Her brash, bold brand of spiritual authenticity and urgency, cultivated by a lifelong ...
