Turning Toward Integrity

The book you hold in your hands is about integrity … the integrity of faith. It’s about the kind of faith that perseveres in persecution, resists temptation, responds obediently to God’s Word, overcomes prejudice, produces good works, controls the tongue, follows God’s wisdom, considers God in all its plans, depends on God rather than wealth, waits patiently for the return of the Lord, and makes prayer, not personal effort, its spiritual resource.

According to James, genuine faith should make a genuine difference in the way a person lives. One’s creed should determine his conduct! And those who knew James considered him qualified to address this subject. Because of his righteous life, they called him “James the Just.” The words of this letter reflect his righteous standards and echo the high and lofty principles of his Brother. In the book of James, there are at least fifteen allusions to Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount.

Purpose Awakening

Chances are if you picked up this book based on the title and are reading these words, you’re likely someone who has already begun to question what the purpose of your life is. You’ve probably read books, been to seminars, and even had someone stand in front of you—all smiles—making purpose-finding seem so easy. But even after you’ve tried those things, you’re more than likely still in the same place at the end of the day, saying, “When is it really going to happen for me?” You’re serious about doing whatever it takes to find your purpose, but up to this point you haven’t discovered the meaning of your life.

Waiting And Dating

Young people all over the world, regardless of culture, share at least one thing in common: the challenge of growing into successful adults. Every society has its own customs in this regard, certain rites of passage through which its youth must navigate successfully in order to be recognized as mature, responsible men and women. In Western countries, one of the most common and socially significant of these customs is dating. The word “dating” comes from the idea of “setting a date,” where two people (or more, if on a group date) agree to get together at a certain time and place for recreation and fellowship. Dating is an important vehicle in our culture for giving young men and women the opportunity to get to know one another in a socially acceptable manner. Click Here To Download The Book

101 Ways To Market Your Business

People generally start a small business or buy a small business for different reasons. Sometimes it is because they are good at their chosen profession and feel that they can make a better living working for themselves, sometimes it is a lifestyle change and sometimes it is simply a lifelong dream. With the advent of retrenchment and redundancy packages or early retirement payouts there are many more people facing retirement long before they are actually ready. They have cash and they have the energy and enthusiasm to start their own business. The problem is that they rarely have the experience required to run their new venture and to make money. Running a business requires many skills that take time to develop. The question is how much time do you have to develop them? Click Here To Download The Book

The Pursuit Of Purpose

“Let me go. Please let me die,” sobbed the frail, old gentleman as the strong young swimmer struggled against the boisterous waves of the open ocean. “Just a few more minutes, sir, and I will have you safely to shore,” replied the young man, gasping for every breath. Finally they made it to the beach and both fell, desperately exhausted, onto the sand. “Why did you save me?” cried the angry seventy-six-year-old man. “Why didn’t you let me die? Your good deed is the curse of my existence.” Startled by these words, the young man looked down at the older man who had nearly drowned. As he panted from the heroic effort of rescuing the victim from the violent waves, he shook his head, revealing the shock and the mystification that filled his mind. Click Here To Download The Book

God's Pursuit Of Man

The unconditioned priority of God in His universe is a truth celebrated both in the Old Testament and in the New. The prophet Habakkuk sang it in ecstatic language, “Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One?” (1:12). The Apostle John set it forth in careful words deep with meaning, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made” (1:1-3). This truth is so necessary to right thoughts about God and ourselves that it can hardly be too strongly emphasized. It is a truth known to everyone, a kind of common property of all religious persons, but for the very reason that it is so common it now has but little meaning for any of us. It has suffered the fate of which Coleridge writes: Truths, of all others the most awful and interesting, are too often considered as so true that they lose all the power of truth and lie bed-ri...

Broken For A Purpose

As we walk through this life on earth, we are faced outwardly with many hardships, difficulties, sometimes poverty and even persecution. Yet there are other struggles and battles that are often much more intense, much more painful and much more severe than these. These are the battles we face on the inside, the ones that take place in our hearts. So often no one knows about them and no one cares. At times, we are not able to share them with anyone. We fight lonely, frightened and desperate. The Lord's answers and interventions seem so far away. We know that the outcome of some of these battles will determine if we make it or break under them. Yet when victory arrives and we have overcome, the effect on our own life and the lives of others is tremendous: We have been broken for a purpose! This book talks about some of these inward struggles. As you read it, may the Lord encourage you to trust Him as He leads you through your "valleys of the shadow of death" to victory. Cli...
