Showing results for "Everyday Life" in Christian Living

In The Hidden Art of Homemaking, Edith Schaeffer masterfully uncovers the profound yet often overlooked influence that creativity and artistry can have in the sanctuary of our homes.

Christians know that daily Scripture reading is an essential spiritual discipline. But sometimes opening the Bible day in and day out can feel like a burden rather than the joy and gift that it is. Spending even a few minutes reflecting on the truths found within God's word can strengthen your faith, help you resist sin, and inspire you to live for the eternal, unshakable kingdom of God. In the Everyday Gospel devotional, Paul David Tripp provides a roadmap for listeners who want to spend a full year in God's word.

In the overlooked moments and routines of our day, we can become aware of God's presence in surprising ways. How do we embrace the sacred in the ordinary and the ordinary in the sacred? Framed around one ordinary day, this book explores daily life through the lens of liturgy, small practices, and habits that form us. Each chapter looks at something - making the bed, brushing her teeth, losing her keys - that the author does every day. Come and discover the holiness of your every day.

As listeners explore topics such as the doctrine of God, the holiness of God, and the doctrine of Scripture, they will be fueled to fall deeper in love with and stand in awe of their Creator and Father—putting the truths of God’s word on display for all the world to see.

While Scripture is full of wisdom and advice, it isn’t always easy to know how the Bible’s words—written thousands of years ago—should apply to our lives now. As a result, many Christians wrestle with questions like these: Where is God leading me personally? How do I live out my faith when others disagree? How can I share the gospel … without being weird or pushy? How do I keep going when life gets hard? With just the right mix of Scripture, personal stories, real-life examples, and practical, encouraging advice, Follow God’s Will gives us guidance.

He looks at how Jesus relates to us in the same way now, by his Spirit. Listeners will be helped to understand how they can enjoy a close relationship with Jesus in their everyday lives.

At the core of Christianity is belief in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. But how should the Gospel affect our lives after we believe? And how can we speak Gospel truths into everyday issues of life? In this book, experienced pastor and speaker Jeff Vanderstelt shows how all people - Christians and non-Christians alike - need to hear the Gospel on a regular basis.

How would your world change if you regularly experienced the miraculous? And what if this happened everywhere you went - in a way that attracted people to Jesus? It wouldn't just make a difference in your world...it would make the world different.

Cynthia Yanof knows how sloppy, slippery, and downright hard life can be. But as she reminds us through her laugh-out-loud stories and heartfelt companionship, God’s not surprised when we drop the ball, lose our cool, or struggle to put our Spanx on in the morning. He can use our ridiculous messes and even the really difficult I-didn’t-sign-up-for-this losses to shape us. In Life Is Messy, God Is Good, Cynthia invites us to reframe our perspective on the challenges we face so we can see God at work—and laugh more along the way.
