90 Days with the Savior
by William Bill Mole Rp Ccac Camsii90 Days with the Saviour is a God inspired journey of transformation from addictive and destructive behaviours. In the book of Matthew Jesus instruct us to, seek first the kingdom of God, or as the Message versions says, steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative and God-provision (6:33), from the first to last exercise, 90 Days with the Saviour was designed to keep you seeking God from the start of your day to the end of your day. Throughout scripture we are told to examine ourselves, to test ourselves, to pray always, to be watchful, to be thankful, to meditate on His word, and to know that God is always with us. 90 Days with the Saviour takes you on that journey each day. Romans 12:2 says …. Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think (NLT). 90 Days with the Saviour was designed to keep you focused on that journey of transformation, not on your problem but on the only one who can help you overcome the torment and despair. Jesus says in Matthew 11:28, … “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest” this book is intended to bring you into that rest, to give you that new life in Christ, “This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” (2 Cor. 5:17). 90 Days with the Saviour is intended to help you shed the old you and put on the new you, “ throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God truly righteous and holy.” (Ephesians 4:22-24). Are you ready for a new life? Then you are ready for this book!

95 Theses: Sermon On Indulgences And Grace, 95 Theses (Treasures Of The Taylorian: Reformation Pamphlets Ser. #Vol. 2)
by Martin LutherThe sixteenth-century document that changed the course of Christianity. Monk and theology professor Martin Luther found himself in disagreement with the Roman Catholic Church on the subject of indulgences—certificates sold by the Church that promised to spare their owners from punishment for their sins. With his 95 Theses, Luther proposed a debate on the subject, but ultimately, he was excommunicated and the Protestant Reformation began. This is both a religious document and a historical one—a turning point that marked a challenge to papal authority, set off political conflicts and bloody war in Europe, and led to the remarkable variety of Christian denominations and sects that exist in the world today.
950 oraciones para sobreponerse al espiritu de las bendiciones retrasadas

Más vale que se les llame último hermano o última hermana. Siempre son los últimos en lograr un gran avance en la vida. Este libro contiene 950 poderosas oraciones que pondrán fin a las bendiciones retrasadas y detenidas en su vida. Si puede responder afirmativamente a una o todas las preguntas siguientes, entonces este libro es para usted. ¿Está esperando un ascenso en su oficina, pero aún no ha llegado? ¿Es usted lo suficientemente maduro como para casarse, pero aún no ha encontrado la pareja adecuada? ¿Está buscando admisión a la universidad o colegio, pero su solicitud está siendo rechazada, a pesar de que este es su quinto intento? ¿Le está tomando 20 años completar o comprar la casa de sus sueños, a pesar del hecho de que usted está poniendo más esfuerzos? ¿Esperas un milagro o un gran avance en cualquier área de tu vida pero no se está manifestando? ¿Está esperando un contrato pero la aprobación ha sido rechazada varias veces y se da cuenta de que a sus colegas que no son lo suficientemente buenos en el trabajo se les están adjudicando los contratos destinados a usted? ¿Su negocio se está arrastrando: más de 20 años lo ha establecido, pero aún no es una mejora? ¿Está gestionando una empresa de la Agencia, por ejemplo, una agencia inmobiliaria, un agente de compensación y expedición, etc., pero en lugar de que los clientes se acerquen por negocios, están pasando lo que les pertenece a sus colegas? Quiero que sepan que el espíritu de la bendición retrasada y detenida no elimina la bendición, sino que simplemente los frustra al hacerla avanzar. ¿Tiene sentido si un gran avance que los

@ Worship: Liturgical Practices in Digital Worlds (Liturgy, Worship and Society Series)
by Teresa BergerA host of both very old and entirely new liturgical practices have arisen in digital mediation, from the live-streaming of worship services and "pray-as-you-go" apps, to digital prayer chapels, virtual choirs and online pilgrimages. Cyberspace now even hosts communities of faith that exist entirely online. These digitally mediated liturgical practices raise challenging questions: Are worshippers in an online chapel really a community at prayer? Do avatars that receive digital bread and wine receive communion? @ Worship proposes a nuanced response to these sometimes contentious issues, rooted in familiarity with, and sustained attention to, actual online practices. Four major thematic lines of inquiry form the structure of the book. After an introductory chapter the following chapters look at digital presence, virtual bodies, and online participation; ecclesial communities in cyberspace; digital materiality, visuality, and soundscapes; and finally the issues of sacramental mediation online. A concluding chapter brings together the insights from the previous chapters and maps a way forward for reflections on digitally mediated liturgical practices. @ Worship is the first monograph dedicated to exploring online liturgical practices that have emerged since the introduction of Web 2.0. Bringing together the scholarly tools and insights of liturgical studies, constructive theology and digital media theories, it is vital reading for scholars of Theology and Religion with as well as Sociology and Digital Culture more generally.
