River Of God

That old nature which came from Adam and Eve is frequently rebellious toward the things of God. It always wants to have its own way, instead of allowing the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you. When we seek to get even for wrongs done to us, frequent thoughts will come to the person with this nature.

The Bible tells us that vengeance is God’s, and He will repay. The person who has determined to live in righteousness and true holiness will commit his problem to the Lord and allow Him to take care of the results.

The old thoughts will still come, but you don’t need to let them lodge in your mind. God wants to help you, but He is expecting you to use the tools He has given you. One of them is the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.

A book that offers a fresh perspective on the Book of Revelation.

Many desire to understand the Book of Revelation, but become overwhelmed by the nature and content, to include the nature of the many symbolic details that don’t seem to make any sense. It doesn't have to be that way.

In this exciting book, Larry Adams has made it possible to come to understand the Book of Revelation. This is not a hard to understand book, but one that will take dedication and time to digest. The author has put forth an incredible study into this book of the Bible and reveals that it is really an exciting book that we all should put aside time to study. Here and now in our day and time, we may very well being seeing the pages of this book unfold before our very eyes – with that thought in mind - hold on tight, get comfortable and delve into a book that is worth the study and exploration.

The atoning blood of Jesus keeps on flowing to cleanse you all the time because you are His. You are not cleansed just by verbal confession because your lips can say words you don’t mean. Your true confession comes from the heart when your sincere desire is to please Him. God loves you so much that He wants you to know that you don’t have to live in fear of failure in word, thought or deed. When little things divert your attention, a little temper rises or a bad attitude creeps in and you temporarily forget to ask God’s forgiveness for it. He looks at your heart and your intentions. You are justified under the new law because of what Jesus did when He died for you, and that precious blood continues to cleanse as long as you want to stay under the covering God provided.

John 15:3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

Here is a great scripture to meditate on.

And the four beasts had each of them six wings about [him]; and [they were] full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

Basic, Instructions, Before, Leaving Earth.

Simple translation, and in many ways very true. I prefer to call the scriptures God's love letters. Another personal translation of mine is the dos and the dont's. One of my favorite books is the book of Proverbs which is full of instructions that can be applied to everyday life and life's everyday decisions.

It is written that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Truth is, God has it covered, and has given us Godly wisdom through the scriptures.
Here is a great web site and ministry for studying God's Word. I use it daily. Blue Letter Bible.

Best selling Christian Authors use the power of Christian Book Marketing to get the word out.

Award winning author D.A. Winstead has had surprising success in showcasing his faith-based novel, Southern Crosses: An African Ghost Story, in overseas literary markets and recently has received accolades in international fiction competitions. Due to his success, we are re-releasing our review released in 2012.

See what international book lovers are reading about the author's view of grace and the three Fs of Christian life in Africa... faith, fairness, and forgiveness.

A fantastic read. This intriguing novel will keep you engaged until the very end. Traversing the lessons learned from the past, the Bible, a ghost named Mary Margaret, ancient bush rituals, history and human nature, D.A. Winstead has traced the journey of a family impacted by the Sharpeville massacre in 1960. He brilliantly encapsulates the period in South Africa that followed that fatal day many years past. Half a century later, Sarah Johnson takes the forefront as a prominent, black confident female with the American Foreign Service. She is searching for something in her life, but unsure of what that might be.

Although successful, Sarah Johnson, still feels a void within herself, but is not sure exactly what that void is. Upon her travels, she is transferred from the London office to South Africa where she will face many battles between good and evil that will forever change her and her perspective in life. In her search for a meaningful existence and in an effort to fill the void, she gains strong allies in South Africa that impact her life more than she could have imagined. She is changed internally through this alliance and through her adventure into the inner workings and understanding of post-apartheid South Africa.

This novel reads like a post-colonial Southern novel filled with tid-bits of history offering glimpses of life in South Africa while intertwining racism in the United States and comparing South Africa's history with that of the U.S. Through the use of fresh perspectives involving the novel, "To Kill a Mockingbird," readers will find this book not only historically educational, but inspiring as it leads them to the Cross. This work is truly an enchanting novel to be cherished, giving hope and faith.

Beyond his knack for creating supernatural mysteries, D. A. Winstead, who has worked in American embassies around the globe, brings a special realism to his depiction of the Christian expat living abroad, always offering a fascinating and illuminating perspective into U.S. and world politics as well as the culture, traditions, and history of various lands, usually Christian lands stricken with deep sadness in their pasts. He writes with empathy for his characters and offers catharsis to his readers through the difficult journeys of healing that his characters endure. Far beyond being just thrillers, his novels create understanding of the human condition across many times and cultures.

A staunch fiscal conservative and believer in private enterprise, D.A. (Dennis) Winstead, survived working in Washington, DC, for 23 years before calling it quits in 2010. Based in Atlanta now, he plans on releasing this fourth novel in August (Dragon Bones: Two Angels Leave at Sunrise) and his fifth and final novel (Poets Wine) in December 2013. On January 1, 2014, he will officially launch the Color Him Father Foundation, a faith-based nonprofit organization designed to strengthen the father figure in Christian families in Africa.

The Button Legacy Book Description:

"My Dearest Emily...

When you were a little girl, a change occurred in you. You lost a piece of yourself somewhere....But when you were here in Plaster Rock, you bloomed. The stories we told with these buttons made you smile. With your smile came hope.

Repeat the stories you've been told to your own children, never forgetting that God was there in every situation, in every story held inside this box..."

Growing up, Emily Evans of Run, River Currents had always shared a special understanding with her grandfather, John Polk, even when she couldn't fully see beyond the darkness of her father's abuse. Yet John looked to the future in faith to what his God could do.

Years after her grandfather's death, the unexpected delivery of the decorated tin, still brimming with odd-colored buttons, unlocks the joyous memories and lets Emily realize she has finally discovered the secret her grandfather promised lay within the stories of the worn button box.

Told through the eyes of a godly grandfather, The Button Legacy laces together a godly heritage and the power of one man's prayers, offering a lesson of how God's grace can be seen even in the simplest thing--a button.

From the Author:

Instructors of Creative Writing said, "The first book any new writer pens is the book that had to be written." I now fully understand those words. For three gut-wrenching years, my debut book, Run, River Currents, begged to be put to paper. My intent was to write a humorous biography about my mother, a woman who raised a boat-load of children on her own. But for some reason, I could not make the stories resonate, so the humor turned to heartbreak as the story was released from me...coaxed by a writer whose own heart somehow understood the story that was within.

The Button Legacy tells the much happier "rest of the story," as well as the background of my godly grandfather, whom God used in Emily's life to ultimately lead her to Himself. Lacing together a godly heritage and the power of one man's prayers, The Button Legacy offers a lesson of how God's grace can be seen even in the simplest thing—a button.

This month's winner is Retha Groenewald for her blog entry introducing the God Speaks Bible

Colorful Voice of God
by Retha Groenewald

"You have one opportunity to prove to me God Speaks to us," the chairman said. "On the table are three different objects you can choose from. These objects are to be used with your Bible. We will convene here, in the boardroom, on Monday morning. Each of you will have 10 minutes to convince me that God speaks. The meeting was adjourned.

John and Peter rushed to the table. John grabbed the laptop, and Peter grabbed the Bible software. Jeremiah was left with a set of colored pens.

The three had a busy weekend with little sleep....and it was Monday. Once again they were sitting around the boardroom table. The chairman looked across the table at the three candidates: "John, you may begin. Your ten minutes starts now. Confidently John stood up and began his presentation using the laptop to present a beautifully, organized slideshow. The chairman clapped his hands after the presentation, and John sat down, satisfied.

"Peter, you are next." Peter stood up, and if possible, he was more confident than John. The chairman also clapped his hands when Peter finished his presentation.

"Jeremiah, it is your turn." When Jeremiah stood up, the other two sniggered when they saw what he had in his hands…colored pens and his Bible.

"Sir," Jeremiah addressed the chairman, "May I ask my colleagues some questions during my presentation?" Surprised and intrigued the chairman agreed.

Jeremiah cleared his throat, and said, "I know God speaks to us. The question I needed to answer was how. How do I prove it? This weekend was probably the greatest adventure of my life. God spoke to me in a new and empowering way. I would like to show you today how God is speaking to you and me, every time we open our Bibles.

"John, do you want to hear God's voice?" "Of course," John replied."What about seeing when God is speaking to us?"

"What," John asked surprised. "God speaks in different ways to us every day, wherever we are. The Bible is full of His words," Jeremiah explained, opening his Bible. His Bible had various colored markings on the pages. John and Peter burst out laughing.

Jeremiah smiled, opening his Bible to Luke 18 verses 16 and 17. "The Bible tells us that we should receive the kingdom of God like a child."

"What does the verse have to do with God speaking to us, and us hearing God's voice," the chairman asked.

"The Bible verse was very relevant to me, because the tools I had in my hand were the tools of a child…coloring pens." Jeremiah replied. "The words are the words Jesus Christ spoke. I marked all His words with the color red."

"So what," Peter said sarcastically. "There are many Bibles with Jesus' words marked in red."

"True," Jeremiah continued calmly. "These words in red prove that Jesus speaks to us. Jeremiah turned to the Old Testament. "I have chosen the color of royalty, purple, to mark where God speaks directly in first person," he continued. "God also speaks to us through visions, dreams and angels. Those words I marked with blue. When somebody speaks on God's behalf in the third person, I marked the words with the color brown, and when a passage refers to God speaking, I marked it with green. God also speaks to us through His miracles. I have chosen the color gold for all God's miracles and different acts of God."

The chairman couldn't contain the excitement anymore. "In other words, this written proof shows us, not only that God speaks to us, but how much He speaks to us. Jeremiah, you have truly proven that God speaks to us. I can see it with my own eyes. You have created a God Speaks Bible. We need to share this."

"What about when you don't have your Bible with you," Peter asked. Jeremiah smiled,

"We develop an app for tablets and phones for people to use."

The alarm went off, waking Jeremiah from his dream. "What a strange dream," Jeremiah thought getting out of the bed. "It would be wonderful to have such a Bible. I wonder if my dream can come true." Jeremiah stepped on something. He looked down. "What is a purple pen doing on the floor?"
