  There are a whole lot of us, who secretly wonder as to why GOD doesn’t say yes more often. Statistically, it seems that there are some people, who seem to have their prayers answered a lot more often than others. While for others, heaven seems to be awfully silent towards their hard-pressed requests. By logical deduction you cannot help but wonder, “Does Prayer make any difference, does it change things? if so when, or how?”The answer is an overwhelming yes! Yes, Prayer does change things but it might not always bring about the changes we are expecting. GOD does not say “YES” to our every request, but desiring that HIS will be done before our own, changes us. Which is the most important change of all.

  Encouragement - The Supportive...

  Words have an undeniable power to shape our reality, influence our thoughts, and impact our emotional well-being. Every word we speak carries with it the potential to either lift someone up or bring them down. Whether we realize it or not, our words have the ability to build bridges, create connections, and offer encouragement. In the context of affirmation, words are tools of empowerment. When used intentionally and thoughtfully, they can become a source of strength, especially for those who are struggling. 
  The impact of affirmations extends far beyond simple compliments or casual praise. Words of affirmation have the capacity to change the way people see themselves, boosting their confidence and reinforcing their sense of worth. For many individuals, the difference between success and failure can often be traced back to the encouragement they receive from others. A kind word can motivate someone to keep going, to try again, or to believe in their abilities when they feel overwhelmed or defeated. 
  Research has shown that positive reinforcement—such as words of encouragement—activates the brain's reward system, releasing feel-good chemicals like dopamine and serotonin. This not only creates a sense of joy but also strengthens an individual’s belief in their own potential. In turn, this builds resilience and helps individuals navigate life's challenges with greater ease.

  For many Christians, our understanding of the history of the church universal jumps straight from what we read in the New Testament to a basic understanding of the Reformation. We're missing more than a millennium! And it was a busy, fascinating, tumultuous thousand-or-so years during which Christianity spread across three continents.

  In this inspiring book, you'll learn about 30 key moments in the history of Christianity that illuminate the incredible diversity and unity of the faith. Combining a global scope with intimate storytelling, professor Mark W. Graham challenges you to expand your knowledge of Christian history and your appreciation for cultural and political differences among believers. The result will be a wider view of the church, a deeper understanding of other expressions of the faith around the world, and a greater connection to the cloud of witnesses who have gone before us.

  Christianity Today 2024 Award of Merit (Missions/Global Church) 
   
  Christian theologians and students are aware that evangelicals in the Majority World now outnumber those in North America and Europe, and many want to know more about emerging voices in the global church. At the same time, these voices are largely absent from Western evangelical theology. 
   
  Stephen Pardue seeks to bridge this divide by arguing, biblically and theologically, that it is imperative for Western evangelical theology to engage with the global church, and he provides examples of how this can be done. Case studies throughout the book illustrate opportunities for fruitful engagement with non-Western theology in various areas of Christian doctrine. 
   
  Readers will be given an introduction to the riches available within the worldwide body of Christ and learn how to engage productively with the global church.

  Christianity Today Book Award winner
  Publishers Weekly's best books
  The only way to change culture is to create culture.
  Most of the time, we just consume or copy culture. But that is not enough. We must also do more than condemn or critique it. The only way to change it is to create it.
  For too long, Christians have had an insufficient view of culture and have waged misguided "culture wars." But Andy Crouch says we must reclaim the cultural mandate to be the creative cultivators God designed us to be. Culture is what we make of the world, both in making cultural artifacts as well as in making sense of the world around us.
  In this expanded edition of his award-winning book Crouch unpacks the complexities of how culture works, the dynamics of cultural change, and tools for cultivating culture. Keen biblical exposition demonstrates that creating culture is central to the whole scriptural narrative, the ministry of Jesus, and the call to the church. With a conversation between Crouch and Tish Harrison Warren as the new afterword, this expanded edition addresses the current landscape and forges a way for the future of culture making. Enter into it with guided questions for reflection and discussion for a deeper experience.
