Prayer and Fasting
Prayer..a way to communicate with God. A way to let Him know our trials, to ask Him for help, to thank Him, knowing by faith that He has heard our supplications. But what about fasting? In the Old Testament they fasted, in the New Testament we recall Jesus' disciples being asked why they don't fast and we recall that His answer was that He-the bridegroom-was still with them. Is He physically with us today? Is fasting still necessary or relevant to us in our day? This study will open our eyes so we can prayerfully decide for ourselves if we need to fast, if we are fasting for the right reasons and why it helps.
The Later Rain
This study talks about a topic that many who have been in the church have heard about, been urged to pray for and are eagerly awaiting. Who doesn't look forward to that time when something mighty is prophesied to happen? In this study is revealed what this latter rain is, why we are to await it, how it affects us as individuals and how its falling will impact the world. If we have stopped praying for it, maybe this study will re-inspire us to pray for the times of 'refreshing.'
Health Reform's Missing Leg
Often when we think of, or talk about health reform, what comes to mind? It's usually what we eat, how much sunshine, exercise, water we get. But there are other aspects that don't often get much attention. Interestingly enough, some who are not of the Christian faith have found out some aspects of the truth, some new discoveries, and some truths have been lived as if they knew what was contained in this study. Somehow, our clothing is linked to our physical health, something we may very well know from scientific research and common sense. Find more light from inspired writings to encourage you to think deeper about your most important asset-your health.
Sports
Sports! Ah the thrill of excitement that grips the world when the World Cup is on. Oh cricket fans erupt into loud claps when a 50, then a century is reached by even the opposing team's player. Sports-teaching children sportmanship. We like to say that it's not about winning, it's about teamwork. Is this really true? Is competitive sports all it's presumed to be? Is it harmless? Does the word of God have anything to say about this harmless fun? Read and discover...
Drama
Acting, drama, plays, skits, pretending, acting...All these that have added extra emphasis to a message since they existed. Yes, the Bible writers never made use of these methods. Were they just old-fashioned? Is there are reason they didn't? And what about drama in general? Is God silent about these things or does He have a message for us? Are there biblical principles to adhere to when considering how to present God's word and also what we ought to do for recreation? This study might have the answers to those- and other-questions.
