Back cover message The message in this book is extremely timely. Most readers of this book will do one of two things. They will either throw it away in apparent annoyance at the convicting words embedded in it, or they will seek a place of prayer to cry to God in repentance and to request the baptism of the fruit of the Spirit. In no other generation is the need for Christians to bear fruit in the Spirit as critical as in our present generation. The arrival of the Master is extremely imminent, yet the lives and priorities of most Christians don't reflect this. Our impact in this dark world remains at the mercy of our spiritual fruitfulness. The more spiritually fruitful we are, the greater our impact. God is calling this present generation of believers to shun carnality and profanity and to embrace the real definition of Christianity, which is spiritual fruitfulness.

How do you bear fruit that abides? In this book, Z.T. Fomum answers this crucial question that believers often ask themselves in their walk with the Lord. In fact, they most often ask it from discouragement. The believer must have a heart full of compassion, be aware of the needs of people without Christ, in a world lost in impotent Christianity, religion, and the like. Here, the author provides us with some rather striking and disconcerting statistics of the distribution of populations, by religion. Everyone will need to know that they have what they need, only as long as we surrender ourselves to the Lord for the blessing and multiplication of what we have. This book is to be read in prayer and with faith.

Foundations of Fruitfulness is a compilation of messages shared by Pastor James R. Mosley with the members of Legacy Christian Center. This book is designed to inspire and promote both personal and spiritual growth. These messages have been drawn from Jesus' teachings and illustrations found in John 15 of the Holy Bible. Although this book was written primarily to inspire believers to become more fruitful and productive citizen of the Kingdom of God, I also believe that these truths can help give us a fresh perspective on how to deal with everyday life, family, business and etc... You will discover that each chapter of this book is relatively short. This is intentional in its design. I understand that we all live busy lives and very few people really have the time in their schedule to read a lengthy book. So each chapter is short and straight to the point. It is my hope that within these few pages you will be inspired and encouraged to become more fruitful and productive in life.

Why are so many Christians stagnant in their faith? Why do we often live as though the gospel stops at the moment of conversion? The good news of Jesus doesn’t stop the moment we get saved. In fact, salvation is only the beginning of God’s work in our lives. We often view salvation as the ending point; it’s really the beginning point. The gospel of Jesus doesn’t only justify us; it sanctifies us. When we receive the Holy Spirit at salvation, an incredible work begins to happen in us: we begin to bear fruit. When we are firmly planted in the gospel and committed to growing in Christ, He produces in us the fruits of the Spirit, the marks of a true Christian. In Bearing Fruit, Robby Gallaty walks us through the life of the Christian. Biblical, intentional, and practical, Bearing Fruit points our hearts to the gracious God who called us, justified us, and is now sanctifying us by the work of his Holy Spirit.

For many years, the body of Christ around the world has been subject to criticism owing to many Christians’ attitudes toward finances and the doctrine of financial prosperity. But where have things gone wrong? Many whom God has entrusted with money have used it to advance their selfish interests at the expense of the advancement of the kingdom of God and society at large. While being financially prosperous is not sinful in itself, the motive behind the desire for money and its subsequent use often conflicts with biblical standards. The Bible makes a clear distinction between Mammon and God. Both are spirits, and both influence the motive, source, and use of finances. A new breed of kingdom-minded Christians who can be entrusted with heaven’s resources must emerge. This book will surely uncover the true source and purpose of finances for Christians who desire to extend the kingdom of God on earth. In this book, you will learn: The difference between kingdom-driven prosperity and Mammon-driven prosperity. The perils and dangers of Mammon in the body of Christ. The kingdom-centered financial practices of a twenty-first century church. The blessings of giving and the correct ways to give to God and society. The biblical source of sustainable wealth for a thriving life and ministry.

An in-depth look at what it means to be created in the image of God and how our bodies serve as icons that illuminate God's purposes instead of ours. The human body is an amazing gift, yet today, many people downplay its importance and fail to understand what Christianity teaches about our bodies and their God-given purposes. Many people misunderstand how the body was designed, its role in relating to others; and we lack awareness of the dangers of objectifying the body, divorcing it from its intended purpose. Timothy Tennent covers topics like marriage, family, singleness, and friendship, and he looks at how the human body has been objectified in art and media today. For the Body offers a biblical framework for discipling people today in a Christian theology of the body. Tennent—theologian and president of Asbury Theological Seminary—explores the contours of a robust Christian vision of the body, human sexuality, and the variety of different ways we are called into relationships with others. This book will reveal a theological vision that: Informs our self-understanding of our own bodies. Examines how we treat others. Reevaluates how we engage today's controversial and difficult discussions on human sexuality with grace, wisdom, and confidence. For the Body is a call to a deeper understanding of our bodies and an invitation to recapture the wonder of this amazing gift.

Many believers aren't living an abundant, Christian life because they don't understand their purpose, position or process. These three key ideas are absolutely essential if you want to experience the fullest life possible. Once you understand these basic, yet powerful teachings in Scripture, everything can change for your life. This book explores the theme of "fruit" throughout the Bible in order to help lead you into the most fruitful life possible. God wants to increase your fruitfulness, but it will take some work. Let's get to it. Jason J. Camacho is a preacher and teacher of God's word who seeks to move people towards Jesus. California-raised, but Florida-based, his highest ambition is to teach, train and transform God's people through the power of Scripture. This book was written in response to a spiritual need that Jason recognized throughout his several years of ministry. Too many believers lack the foundational knowledge to effectively live the Christian life well. His desire was to create a resource that would equip new believers with the basic knowledge that many lack. For more information on his ministry, visit abovereproachministry.com
