There are a total of 613 commands in the Bible. Many do not apply to the New Testament Church, but many do. Are God's commands unreasonable? Does He really expect us to obey all of His commands? As believers, we can easily become overwhelmed-not only by the sheer number of commands we are to obey, but also by the gravity of small, yet, weighty words like "every" and "all," found in verses such as: "Take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ" (2 Cor. 10:5) or "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength" (Deut. 6:5).When Jesus walked the earth, He showed us that obeying God's commands are not burdensome (1 John 5:3). He proved that they are doable, as we yield to Him and allow His transforming love and resurrection power to work in us. Only as we walk with Him, moment by moment, can we experience the fullness of His blessings and fulfill our life's purpose to glorify Him. Monica Burney is a pastor's wife who has served as a ministry leader in several areas of church life: Women's ministry director, children's ministry director, church secretary, and Bible memory resource consultant. She is an award-winning poet whose works have spanned several genres: author, poet, songwriter, columnist, and free-lance journalist. She resides in Northern California and is the mother of three grown children and grandmother of three grandchildren.

Young people are walking away from the church and those still in the church often struggle with indifference about their faith. But it doesn't have to be this way. It's time for a revolution, a holy uprising. A riot. With passion and authenticity, teen author Sara Barratt calls on her generation to reject apathy and embrace a daring, costly faith. Not content with safe religion that demands nothing of us, Sara shows teens how they can stop giving in to the status quo and devote themselves fully to Christ, following him no matter what their friends do or the culture around them does. She challenges them to give everything over--their comfort zones, their time, their loyalties, their pride--and discover that in losing control they are gaining the life that was meant for them all along. Love Riot is a battle cry from one teen to another to embrace a life of wholehearted commitment and relentless abandon for Christ . . . no matter the cost.

Inability to obey God and respect His arrangements on earth is as a result of ignorance of who God is and the power of His Word. The entrance of the Word of God into our minds would enlighten the ignorant. This first publication in our series on obeying God focuses on the family, being the nucleus of the society. The cliché "charity begins at home" is truer in the issues of this discourse than anywhere else. A disordered family is like a ship whose captain is without honor. The ripples of this disaster affect the whole community. Giving the attributes of honor to our parents and elders is commanded. It must be given to our parents or elders as it would be taken in turns as the children of today become the elders of tomorrow. It is not negotiated with conditions attached and God commands it. In their own interest, elders have the responsibility of forgiving offending young ones unreservedly and should pray for them because of their future. Consider the Benefit of Obeying God 1 explains these scriptural precepts with exquisite examples endued with amazing consistency, simplicity, and clarity. The first step to prevent or mitigate disordered society is to teach order in the family God's own way. Honoring parents is honoring the God that commands it. There are benefits of honoring parents and consequences for refusing to obey this God's command. This book searches the Scripture's balanced doctrine on this issue and presents it for the benefit of all persons that have the opportunity to read it. It also provides a teaching base for those who may wish to use it as a teaching tool with our permission. Hence it is beneficial to teachers, hearers of all age groups, and the society at large.

“A marvel of succinctness, this presentation is one of the best I have seen for initial direction in the faith once delivered to the Fathers.” —Dr. Paige Patterson Ted Rivera unpacks the mystery of God’s will with a simple yet profound look at what Jesus called the two greatest commandments: loving God and loving others. Filled with examples drawn from everyday life, Rivera’s book is practical and wise, a welcome primer for any student of the Bible wanting to deepen their understanding of how to follow Jesus rightly. In the end, Rivera concludes, Jesus isn’t looking merely for consistency in obedience but for obedience in love. Indeed, all our good deeds “are utterly worthless if they are disconnected from a heart that beats not only with love for our God, but also with love for our fellow human beings.” The Heart of Love urges readers toward a deepened faith and a greater imitation of the God who is love.
