Hooray for the 4th….stand up and cheer….be thankful for your freedom….
(this is really about freedom)
What do Charles Stanley, David Jeremiah, Max Lucado, Eugenia Price, and Billy Graham all have in Common? They are AUTHORS…all of which we have in our library. They ALL write about having a Christian Life. They all have a common theme of “Freedom”. Freedom from SIN…our greatest freedom….
Only God can give us this freedom but we must ask to receive it. We often need directions on how to do something.
When all else fails, READ the directions. Our directions are found in our BIBLE. The people I’ve mentioned have written books to help you understand and obey the Bible. If your life is a puzzle; if it is going in the wrong directions; if you need answers to problems you have; try one of these books :
- Charles Stanley’s IN STEP WITH GOD….CONFRONTING CASUAL CHRISTIANITY….
- Max Lucado’s WHEN GOD WHISPERS YOUR NAME…..EYE OF THE STORM
- Charles Swindoll’s IMPROVING YOUR SERVE….MY STORY OF GOD’S WILL
- Eugenia Price’s JUST AS I AM…..LEAVE YOURSELF ALONE
- Billy Graham’s LIVING BEYOND THE LIMITS……SECRET OF HAPPINESS
- David Jeremiah’s WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO……YOU’LL GET THROUGH THIS
This is a powerful list and there is more awaiting, but don’t panic, don’t get overwhelmed. (a quote from our pastor) Just pick out one and with much prayer and time alone with God you will get answers. Try it and enjoy your “freedom”.
