Mystery Of The Holy Spirit

Throughout his remarkable ministry, Dr. A.W. Tozer (1897-1963) was recognized as the voice of God while others were mere echoes. His was a clarion call for the church to return to those truths central to her identity in Christ. Thirty-one years of his ministry were spent in Chicago, that “Mecca of Fundamentalists,” as Tozer often refers to it. His was often a lone voice when others were following the latest evangelical trend or fad. What he would think of evangelicals today is anyone’s guess. I think he would not be too impressed with the level of spirituality found across our country. Many of the things he warned about a generation ago have happened. Some of his warnings are found in this sermon collection. At times, it is hard to remember that Tozer preached these sermons over fifty years ago. The freshness of his themes is indicative of his ministry. He never wasted the congregation’s time rehashing the news or the latest fad. His ministry was straight to the heart.

Once he was invited to minister to a group of Brethren in Christ. These people were conservative in their dress and manners, and Tozer was concerned he would not fit in. The Bishop allayed his fears by saying, “Just preach to their hearts, and they will love you.” He did, and they did.

The Laws Of Prosperity

To prosper in your soul, you must be able to control your mind, your will and your emotions. Just because you have accumulated large amounts of knowledge does not mean that your mind is prosperous. Prosperity of the mind comes when you use the knowledge that has been accumulated—when you are controlling your mind instead of your mind controlling you. Second Corinthians 10:5 says we are to cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God (or against the Word of God), bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. The person who does this has control of his mind and is in position to prosper mentally. You cannot control your mind completely without the Word of God being alive and operating inside you.

Spirit Of Leadership

There are many who confuse the position of leadership with the disposition of true leadership. No matter what position one may be given, status in an organization does not automatically create leadership. Genuine leadership is one’s internal disposition, which relates to a sense of purpose, self-worth, and self-concept. Click Here To Download The Book

The Broker

The last friend was Critz, an old fraternity pal from their days at Cornell when Morgan ran the student government while Critz stuffed the ballot boxes. In the past four years, Critz had served as press secretary, chief of staff, national security advisor, and even secretary of state, though that appointment lasted for only three months and was hastily rescinded when Critz's unique style of diplomacy nearly ignited World War III. Critz's last appointment had taken place the previous October, in the final frantic weeks of the reelection onslaught. With the polls showing President Morgan trailing badly in at least forty states, Critz seized control of the campaign and managed to alienate the rest of the country, except, arguably, Alaska. It had been a historic election; never before had an incumbent president received so few electoral votes. Three to be exact, all from Alaska, the only state Morgan had not visited, at Critz's advice. Five hundred and thirty-five for the chal...

The Good News About Marriage

As part of the relationship research that my husband, Jeff, and I have done over the past twelve years, we have interviewed and surveyed thousands of people about their innermost thoughts, needs, and fears. Early on, we began to get a clear window not only into their needs as men and women, which was what we were primarily trying to study, but also into how their relationships worked, what inspired and discouraged them, what they believed about marriage, parenting, the workplace, and culture. Eventually it was clear that there was one common denominator among marriages that survived versus those that failed: hope. There were many different factors that led to either outcome, of course. But underneath it all was this bottom line: Did the couple have a sense of hope … or a sense of futility? Click Here To Download The Book

S.H.A.P.E

In my book, The Purpose Driven® Life, I introduced the concept of S.H.A.P.E., a simple acrostic I created more than twenty years ago to help people remember five factors God uses to prepare and equip us for our purpose in life. These five shaping tools are our Spiritual gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality, and Experiences. You are shaped to serve God by serving others. Now, in this wonderful, long-needed book by Erik Rees, we have a more thorough, in-depth explanation of the implications and applications of S.H.A.P.E. Erik has served at my side at Saddleback Church for ten years. As our pastor of ministry, his job is to help people in our church family discover their S.H.A.P.E., find their niche, and experience the joy of being what God created them to be. He is passionate about helping people unlock their God-given potential, and I can say without any reservation that Erik understands more about helping you discern and develop your S.H.A.P.E. than any other person on the planet.

Fasting And Prayer

When I saw my minister friend I asked himto come and sit next to me at the head table. Leaning over to himas we ate, I asked him, “Did you know your face is illuminated? What have you been doing?” He replied, “I just finished fasting for three days with no food and just water to drink. During the three days I was in prayer.” Since my scheduled speaker was unable to come I asked all of the people there to just have a time of Christian fellowship together as we all enjoyed a great meal. My big mistake was not asking my friend to speak and minister to the people. But we learn as we go, and I catch on real quick and have tried to stay alert to not miss other divine opportunities.
