True to the Word

If you are listening to this review on the Sabbath, then I would like to wish you a Sabbath filled with this reminder from Matthew 19:26 “...with God all things are possible.”

This week’s review is for the short documentary, Breaking the Rules.

Description

Mark van Rensburg is a self-made businessman with two companies, a commercial fishing boat and many medals and awards as a judo champion. His aggressive approach towards life, however, was fueled by a deep anger towards God. A turning point came when he was tragically paralyzed from the neck down as the result of an auto accident. Doctors were surprised he survived at all and gave him less than six months to live. But Mark, as strong-willed as ever, vowed he would walk again.

Scripture References:
Matthew 19:26 (with God all things are possible)

Description

This documentary reveals the story of John Bunyan's life, his personal struggles, his triumphs, and his remarkable legacy. Join us as we follow the well-trod path of John Bunyan from the "Slough of Despond" through the narrow gate and on to the "Celestial City."

The Pilgrim's Progress, by John Bunyan, is one of the most famous and influential works of English literature.  Since its first publication in 1678, it has never been out of print and is reported to have sold more copies than any other book except for the Bible.  But who was the man behind this great work? This documentary reveals the story of John Bunyan's life, his personal struggles, his triumphs, and his remarkable legacy. The uneducated son of a tinker, Bunyan survived the horrific English Civil War only to be jailed during an era of great religious persecution.  From his jail cell Bunyan wrote his great allegory of the Christian life.

Hello everyone, welcome to our monthly book review for, The Names of God, by Marilyn Hickey.

Part of the book description says, “Tapping into God’s Infinite Supply”.  The book description goes on to say that God’s names reveal a different aspect of His nature. As God is so vast - one name cannot adequately describe Him.  Throughout the Bible, God revealed Himself to His people through His various names.

The book lists nineteen different names of God. So unlike our previous book review, this book will take us well over a year to go through, as I review what Marilyn has written for each name, one month at a time. Our review for November is the name Elohim.

Scripture References
Isaiah 33:6 - wisdom and knowledge
James 4:8  - draw near to God
Genesis 1:1 - creation
Genesis 1:26-27, Colossians 1:16 and Genesis 1:2-3 (The Godhead)
Romans 8:31 (God is for us - who can be against us?)
