Lo! is the third published nonfiction work of the author Charles Fort. In it he details a wide range of unusual phenomena. In the final chapter of the book he proposes a new cosmology that the earth is stationary in space and surrounded by a solid shell which is "not unthinkably far away". In this book Fort coined the now-popular term "teleportation" for the first time.
Even though we have confessed our sins unto the Lord and started to walk Him in our everyday life, we experience His love, grace and mercy, we are richly blessed by God. We shall not neglect the importance of praying the blood of Jesus to cover and protect us. We need to learn the importance of the blood and so we will apply the blood of Jesus unto our circumstances, places, friends and families for His divine protection and covering. The Bible did say that Jesus has defeated the world by His death, by His shed blood up on the Cross. As we trusted in His sacrifice (of His precious blood), we are saved by His shed blood. Without acknowledging His shed blood for us, we are not saved! His blood purchased our lives! His blood has covered us from all the darts from the enemies. Amen! No matter how victorious your walk with the Lord already is. Declare and Proclaim His blood is essential for Christians all over the world. His blood secured our redemption, His blood has purchased us! We are His because of His shed blood. Glory be to our God!! For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, Jesus Christ…. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ. - Ephesians 2:13Show book
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. In the mists of antiquity, before the great flood that would cleanse the earth of corruption, there existed beings of immense power and knowledge who walked between the realms of heaven and earth. These were the Watchers, divine messengers tasked with observing humanity's early development. Yet their story, preserved in the ancient text known as the Book of Enoch, tells not of faithful guardianship but of cosmic rebellion that would forever alter the course of human history. The Book of Enoch, though excluded from the canonical Bible, held profound influence over Jewish and early Christian thought for centuries. This pseudepigraphal work, attributed to the antediluvian patriarch Enoch who "walked with God," provides an elaborate narrative explaining the origin of evil, the nature of divine judgment, and the mysterious references to giants found in Genesis. According to the Enochic tradition, the corruption that necessitated the flood began not with human sin alone, but with the transgression of heavenly beings who abandoned their ordained stations. The narrative begins with two hundred angels, led by their chief Semjaza, who descended to Mount Hermon during the days of Jared, Enoch's father. These Watchers, originally appointed to observe and guide humanity, became enamored with the daughters of men. Their desire transcended mere attraction; it represented a fundamental violation of the cosmic order established by the Divine. The text describes how these beings, seeing the beauty of mortal women, conspired among themselves to take wives from among humanity, knowing full well that such unions were forbidden.Show book
As we have been welcomed by Jesus, Christians are called to welcome others. But what does this look like in practice? Walking into church can be intimidating, whether for the first time or after a period of absence, whether you are a non-believer or a believer. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if your church was a place where everyone received a warm welcome? A place where newcomers can quickly feel at home and where non-believers receive the welcome of God’s people alongside the welcome of Jesus? This warm, practical book by Jen Oshman explores what the Bible says to help readers discover how to make space for others, however different they are to them, in their church and in their lives. She also gives practical advice, drawing on good practice from churches around the world in a range of situations. In a world of division, individualism, and isolation, readers will see that their church can witness to Christ by being a place of welcome, community, and connection. Chapters include how Jesus welcomes us, the impact of welcoming in the early church, the effect of being siblings in Christ, how to welcome beyond Sunday, helpful systems and strategies, how our joy in Christ causes us to be outward-looking, and mirroring the glorious vision set out in Revelation. Whether you’re a pastor looking to encourage your congregation to welcome others or a church member wanting to see unbelievers come to faith and help everyone feel part of the family, this book is for you.Show book
