Practical Ministry

Number one New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer shares powerful, practical ways to experience a new level of joy and excitement about life every day. The traffic is backed up, the kids are screaming, and the car is making a funny noise again. Any one of these challenges can test our temperament and rob us of joy. Our impulse is to write today off and hope for a better tomorrow. However, this creates a hard pattern to break. One terrible day easily turns into many-and soon we're living a life far from what God has in mind for us

Scripture says "be anxious for nothing," yet most of us find ourselves increasingly worried and anxious. We're even worried about our level of anxiety! Integrating both the psychological and spiritual aspects of anxiety, therapist Jean Holthaus offers a research-driven, faith-informed approach to understanding why we experience anxiety and shows us how to effectively manage it by developing three essential skills: living in the present moment, suspending judgment, and believing ourselves to be competent and equipped by God.

The Lord Jesus said, “By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples.” In the heart of every believer, there is the yearning to bear much fruit, to bring many others to the Lord and to present those who are brought to him mature in Christ. Many believers are not bearing fruit as they should. They have therefore decided to be content with the fruit of Christian character. This ought not to be so. The Lord wants character, but he also wants people brought to him in large numbers and built up to be like him in every way.

"It's a moral jungle out there," writes Peter Kreeft. In Making Choices, he describes why we find decision-making so difficult and living with our choices even harder.

Every artist has been given an invitation to co-create with the Creator of the Universe. As we cooperate with him, though the power of the Holy Spirit, we can reveal, reflect, and release his image, nature and presence into the world through our creative expression. It's simply mind-blowing and yet, that's his invitation to us. Art, like any other created means, is a vehicle for the presence of God to move in and through. It functions almost as a stealth language by which God can commune with us as kingdom artists.

As an active member in ministry, writing is usually inevitable. Perhaps you approach these opportunities with excitement - or maybe you procrastinate to avoid the task altogether, your pages remaining forever blank. No matter how you feel about writing, approaching a project can be overwhelming. Knowing what to say can be as confusing as knowing where to begin. Perhaps for you, the first step in the writing process is simply to demystify the writing process, to realize that you are capable of accomplishing your projects. If so, then Writing for Life and Ministry is for you.

Beatrice Bruteau was a philosopher whose vision of life was an inspiration to some of the most influential thinkers of our time. In Radical Optimism she shines new light on the deepest truth we can know about ourselves: each of us is one with God, here and now.

If you are a child of God who still commits sin deliberately, committing the same sin over and over, it is because your eyes have never been opened to see that sin is a knife thrust willingly into God's heart; your eyes have never been opened to see the harm that sin causes in every domain of your life.
