Practical Ministry

Are you called to full-time ministry? Did you go to seminary, but they did not teach you how to start a 501(c)(3). Do you want to make a difference in this world, but don’t know how? The original version of this book was released in 2012, successfully helping many ministries, churches, and non-profit organizations. The tremendous impact of social media and the COVID-19 global pandemic on our world prompted me to make this 2020 revised edition.

"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. With penetrating wisdom, good humor, and common sense, Peter Kreeft draws a map through the everyday jungle of moral choices, one simple enough for the believer and convincing enough for the skeptic.

Although he holds a doctorate in depression, author Greg L. Russ chose to create this audiobook from a patient's point of view.

Every Christian who has believed in Christ and received him as lord and savior, must enroll and make progress in the school of the one in whom he has believed and who is "the way, the truth, and the life". Genuine conversion should lead to a radical end to sin and a radical commitment to the truth. In this audiobook, Z.T. Formum shows us how he himself cooperated with God to root out all lies and falsehoods from his life. It exposes, through characters from the Old and New Testaments, the manifestations of lying in many practical aspects of life.

This booklet is of vital necessity. You cannot ignore it if you want to live the Spirit-filled life. You will find the description of the condition of the human heart. God desires and expects to fill with His Spirit and power each person who is saved. This expectation of the Lord must meet the cooperation of the believer to remove from his heart and from his life all the things that fill his heart and his life preventing him from being filled with the Holy Spirit. You will find in this booklet a list of these things. Go through them and let God find a path into your heart.

I wrote this book because of the need I saw in the Body of Christ for simplistic, practical prophetic teaching that could easily be applied. The prophetic ministry is a very powerful ministry when we use it for its God-given purpose. There are also, unfortunately, false prophetic ministries who abuse the ministry. I endeavor in this manual to show the difference between the true and the false. The real and the fake. The authentic and the phony.

Outreach to those who struggle with same-sex attraction is severely lacking in most churches. As a result, most Christians learn more about homosexuality from movies, the internet, television, and so-called diversity training than they learn in their own congregations. Many people who struggle with same-sex attraction are torn by the debate while yearning to hear the redemptive truth of the Bible and be touched by the unyielding love of Christ. Author Bill Campbell believes that Christians can have a significant positive influence on how the larger culture frames the issue of same-sex attraction. He combines twenty years of study with current surveys and research by national leaders of ministries to homosexuals.

L’auteur, Z.T. Fomum apporte une réponse aux nombreuses interrogations que se posent souvent les chrétiens, concernant soit leur propre progrès spirituel, soit le progrès spirituel des autres croyants. L’auteur nous invite, en guise de réponse à ces nombreuses questions, à expérimenter une vie de retraites spirituelles, prélude à la grande retraite finale que le Seigneur prendra bientôt avec son église.
