  Retirement. Downsizing. Selling your business. Children leaving the nest. Layoffs. A major health event. Losing a loved one. Important life transitions remind us of what once “was,” leaving large gaps of free time and less to look forward to in the future. Afterwork acknowledges these tectonic shifts and offers revealing insights, powerful disciplines, and practical applications to help you step forward into a new and remarkably fulfilling season―regardless of how you’ve defined “work.”Afterwork is a healthy and hopeful approach to retirement, and it may be different than the conventional wisdom you’ve been sold. It’s an honest discussion about the retirement lie we’ve bought into: A self-focused, uber-comfortable, and vacation-minded retirement is what we want. But such thinking is a down payment toward purposelessness. The truth is that you’re more than the assets in your retirement account; you’re a person with incredible talent and value, and you’re more resourced than ever to leave your mark on the world!Practical, trustworthy, encouraging, and accessible, Afterwork explores 10 key disciplines that will steer you away from the destiny of disillusionment and open you to a life filled with confidence, joy, and peace: Purpose, Calendar, Movement, Journaling, Faith, Connection, Learning, Awareness, Generosity, and Awe. Most retirement resources tell us, “You’ve earned this; now here’s how to make life all about you.” Afterwork reveals the fallacy of viewing the coming years as nothing more than cashing in on the money you’ve squirreled away, hoping it doesn’t run out before you die. Instead, experience greater satisfaction by living with an outward focus that can help you escape the retirement lie.

  Do Christians choose to have faith, or is faith a supernatural work of God? Far from an abstract intellectual exercise, this question has vast implications for the hope, joy, and assurance of the Christian life. When the truth of God’s sovereign grace breaks into our minds and hearts, it changes everything.  In What’s So Great about the Doctrines of Grace? Dr. Richard D. Phillips takes us on a tour of the doctrines of grace, also known as the five points of Calvinism. With clear biblical exposition, he helps us to see the extent of our corruption in sin, to anchor our faith in the fullness of grace, and to trust in God’s promise to finish what He started—the salvation of His people. When we rely on God’s all-sufficient grace, we can truly live for His all-consuming glory.

  Redeemed Earth The: Healing The...

  The curse came through a government called, "the knowledge of good and evil". Man's knowledge of good and evil resulted in a curse upon the very ground of the earth. In this book we will look at seven things that happened in the fall of man. There were seven curses that came into the earth as a result of Adam's fall. Those curses affect our everyday lives. We even take some of those curses as being normal, everyday life. Jesus Christ came to the world as the Son of Man to break the power of those curses in the earth for all of mankind. He came to restore men to a relationship with God as their Father.? The earth itself was made subject to futility in the hope of the manifestation of God's sons in the earth.? It is the curse that holds the earth to the bondage of futility in the hope of the manifestation of God's sons.? Christianity has to do with coming to the place where the curse of the fall of man is broken. It is about bringing God's life to our lives and changing the world in which we live.? God wants to break every curse in the earth. ?God's light is greater than the darkness of the world. God's life is greater than the power of death.? Jesus came to bring us into a new government. It is not a government of the knowledge of good and evil, but a government of love and life. It is a government of grace and peace and it is found in Christ.? God doesn't desire to change the world though revelation knowledge. He desires to change the world through a revealing intimacy with God as our Father through the Tree of Life in Christ.? God wants to change the earth. It takes a different government to change a world suffering the ill effects of a death producing one? God wants us to come into the administration that is suitable for the fullness of times. It's an administration of grace!

  The Issue is Not the Issue -...

  The issue is not the issue. What does that mean? Here is an illustration. This is the scenario. Your vehicle is not running smoothly and you realize something is wrong. You wonder if the issue is an electrical issue or could it be a fuel issue. You assume that it is an electrical issue but it turns out that the “real” issue is a fuel issue. So, the electrical issue is not the issue. Conversely, you assumed it was a fuel issue but it turns out the “real” was an electrical issue. The assumed issue was not the issue. 
  This book is divided into three parts and each part is presented with an issue is not the issue format. I seek to identify the assumed or presented issue and then through exploration of Scripture discover the "real" issue. Part 1 concerns issues involving the supernatural. Part 2 looks at issues concerning the process that God uses to grow believers in Christ-likeness. Part 3 explores the issue of leadership in the church of Jesus Christ and who is in charge. 
  Often there can be tension between the assumed issue and the “real” issue. We look at this tension and some of the reasons for it. The readers are invited to evaluate and contemplate about the issue is not the issue. 
  At the beginning of each part of the book, I have given what I have called a preamble. My purpose in doing this is to reveal to the reader the basic principles upon which I have sought to base my writing. These are personal principles and guidance for me. I heard or read this saying, "We have our beliefs but are convictions have us." This preamble is my conviction and it has me.
