Most of us are regular people who have good days and bad days. Our lives are radically ordinary and unexciting. That means they're the kind of lives God gets excited about. While the world worships beauty and power and wealth, God hides his glory in the simple, the mundane, the foolish, working in unawesome people, things, and places.In our day of celebrity worship and online posturing, this is a refreshing, even transformative way of understanding God and our place in his creation. It urges us to treasure a life of simplicity, to love those whom the world passes by, to work for God's glory rather than our own. And it demonstrates that God has always been the Lord of the cross--a Savior who hides his grace in unattractive, inglorious places.Your God Is Too Glorious reminds readers that while a quiet life may look unimpressive to the world, it's the regular, everyday people that God tends to use to do his most important work.

God's word is a powerful tool. It's a weapon for good and a sword of defense. It's fully alive and breathing in the present. This is why even Jesus, the son of God Himself, used scripture to fight the lies of Satan. While Jesus was fasting in the wilderness for 40 days and nights, the devil tried to tempt Him. Jesus knew exactly which scriptures to use to speak truth over the lies of Satan. He would make a powerful statement in replying to Satan with "It is written" followed by quoting God's truth. This is such a powerful moment because even Jesus faced temptation, but He shows us how to overcome. His example shows us what we need to fight with when attacked with the lies of the enemy. This book is designed to be a quick reference tool that pulls scripture together as it relates to common life experiences and feelings we face. My hope is that you will be able to read the scriptures in each section when you are facing those feelings and understand God's truth. Through understanding God¿s truth, you can begin to overcome the lies of the enemy. I encourage you to find and highlight these scriptures in your Bible as well and speak them over yourself. Whether you are feeling depressed, anxious, overwhelmed or one of the other feelings highlighted in the chapters, use the scriptures to speak truth over the lies.

Readers come away with a better understanding of the six-day creation argument! The framework hypothesis or literary framework view has grown in acceptance as more readers of Scripture place “science” as the authority over the interpretation of God’s Word. By re-interpreting Genesis, this view encourages Christians to disregard the plainly shared timeline of creation and instead consider it as merely figurative or poetic rather than historical and accurate. Kenneth Gentry carefully defines the framework hypothesis, while tracing its historical origins and purpose. This provides a helpful introduction both for those who know the framework hypothesis as well as any hearing the term for the first time.
