Purity

Author: Lydia Brownback

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 138

Book Description
The Christian community often thinks of purity only as it relates to issues of sexuality, but the term encompasses much more than that. We need to look closely at all it means to be pure as God intended. So what does purity mean? As modern women, how can we follow Paul's command in Colossians to "put to death" impurity? How does purity adorn a godly woman? Lydia Brownback looks to Scripture to answer these questions as she engages an issue faced by all women. The newest in a series of compact devotional books for women, Purity guides us to understand that our hearts are purified as we lean on the purity of Christ and his perfect work for us. These devotionals are a daily reminder to women that putting Christ first takes care of everything else.

Book Description
The Missional Life is not another book looking to give you a new program or model. It is a book with a biblical message aimed at one greater purpose: To encourage the body of Christ to live the mission of Christ. I like the idea of living life on mission. It reminds me that I am not to get too comfortable or feel too at home while I live on this earth. One profound truth about being a sent one is that there is usually a clear reason for being sent]a purpose. What strikes me about The Missional Life, written by my friend Joe Waresak, is the challenge to live life intentionally, according to the deepest purpose in life, which is the glory of God. Dr. Jeffrey A. Gill, Dean-School of Ministry Studies of Grace Theological Seminary The sensitive, personal, and timely manner in which Joe calls men to action is obviously a gift from God. Joe and his family show genuine concern for people and are constantly involved in the lives of others. Our family and ministry have been blessed and impacted by Joes passion and drive to see the Word of God change lives and ultimately the church permanently.

Book Description
God's Word tells us of all that is ours through his Son. Our security is guaranteed, our provision is sure. In the face of such abundant life, why is our joy so often stolen from us? Undoubtedly we pass through seasons of difficulty, sorrow, and uncertainty. But real joy isn't conditional on circumstances, is it? How are we to pursue joy in seasons of both plenty and need? This newest addition to a series of small devotional books for women teaches that we will only find perpetual joy when we pursue Christ. Brownback helps women understand that their joy is not circumstantial, but built on the promises of God and the work of Jesus. Forty-two short devotionals look to Scripture for words of encouragement, correction, wisdom, and guidance to help women adorn themselves with joy. Part of the On-the-Go Devotionals series.
