In Church as It Is In Heaven -...

Jamaal E. Williams, Timothy Paul...

Heaven is multiethnic. Are you ready for that? 
 
 
 
The Bible tells us that the congregation gathered around God's heavenly throne will be "a vast multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language," all singing the praises of the Lamb. God's intention has always been to delight for all eternity in a redeemed community of ethnic diversity. 
 
 
 
But this diverse community shouldn't have to wait until eternity to begin! It can be a reality in our own local churches here and now. Patterned after a worship service, In Church as It Is in Heaven gives biblical warrant for such a community and shows how multiethnic churches provide a unique apologetic for the gospel. Along the way, the authors tell the story of their own church—a majority-white congregation which is being transformed into a family that reflects the diversity of heaven. 
 
 
 
The multiethnic kingdom is not just a nice idea, or an abstract theory. It's a reality—one we can enter into today.

Gratitude - The Joyful Heart -...

Esther Jameson

Gratitude is one of the most powerful emotions a person can experience. It has the ability to shift our focus, change our perspective, and even improve our overall well-being. At its core, gratitude is the simple act of recognizing and appreciating the blessings, both big and small, that we encounter in our lives. When we focus on what we are grateful for, we begin to experience a greater sense of happiness and contentment. 
Research has shown that gratitude is linked to numerous benefits, including better mental health, stronger relationships, and improved physical health. The practice of gratitude can lower stress levels, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, and increase overall life satisfaction. This is because when we focus on the positive aspects of our lives, we train our brains to look for the good rather than dwelling on what is lacking or going wrong. 
The impact of gratitude on our lives is not just emotional. It also has profound physical effects. Studies have demonstrated that practicing gratitude can help boost the immune system, improve sleep quality, and lower blood pressure. When we are in a state of gratitude, our bodies release feel-good hormones such as dopamine and serotonin, which contribute to an overall sense of well-being and relaxation.

English History - The Cathars...

Kelly Mass

This is a compilation of 2 different titles, which are about the following topics:
1: The Cathars were different from the mainstream Catholic church in the 13th century. They openly rebelled against some of the hypocritical behavior by priests and leaders, and they established their own deviant beliefs according to the best ability of their conscience.
But when it all came down to it, what did this mean? What were those belief systems? How did they look at God, Satan, the purpose of life, or equality between the sexes, sexuality itself, or any other principle they embraced? What did they think of the crusades in the Middle East? And how did it all end for them?
Learn more about the Cathars, a community that made a significant impact during a time of dictatorships, massacres, and persecution of supposed heretics.
2: Horatio Nelson can be seen as one of the most courageous, strategic, valiant British generals in history. His tactics in the navy have led their empire to glorious victories in the 18th and beginning of the 19th century. During the wars against Napoleon, the Scandinavians, and in the West Indies, he was an exemplary leader, strategists, and combatant. The British Empire stretched all the way from the Caribbean to Egypt and beyond. Needless to say, much help was needed in various areas in the world.
Learn more about this brave warrior, someone who fit exactly into that time frame to keep their empire afloat, through their navy ships, their battles, and their victories.
