Social media was made to bring us together. But few things have driven us further apart. Sadly, many Christians are fueling online incivility. Others, exhausted by perpetual outrage and shame-filled from constant comparison, are leaving social media altogether. So, how should Christians behave in this digital age? Is there a better way? Daniel Darling believes we need an approach that applies biblical wisdom to our engagement with social media, an approach that neither retreats from modern technology nor ignores the harmful ways in which Christians often engage publicly. In short, he believes that we can and should use our online conversations for good.

Since the early centuries, Christians have held up the saints as models of living the Gospel of Jesus Christ. While the church officially recognizes a relatively small number of saints, the actual roster is infinitely wider. Blessed Among Us explores this eclectic “cloud of witnesses”—lay and religious, single and married, canonized and not, and even non-Christians whose faith and wisdom may illuminate our path. Brought to life in the evocative storytelling of Robert Ellsberg, they inspire the moral imagination and give witness to the myriad ways of holiness. In two stories per day for a full calendar year, Ellsberg sketches figures from biblical times to the present age and from all corners of this world—ordinary figures whose extraordinary lives point to the new age in the world to come. Blessed Among Us is drawn from Ellsberg’s acclaimed column of the same name in Give Us This Day, a monthly resource for daily prayer published by Liturgical Press.

The story of Jesus Christ goes much deeper than His crucifixion and resurrection. Few will dispute that a man named Jesus Christ lived 2,000 years ago and that He was a great teacher who impacted the world. Christ made a controversial claim—that He was the very Son of God, the long-prophesied Messiah—causing religious authorities in Jerusalem to reject Him, hate Him and eventually succeeded in having Him put to death. Likewise, the local Roman civil authorities also saw Him as a threat and became complicit in His execution. The religions of His day, both Judaism and paganism, opposed the growth of His teachings and used unlawful and violent means to try to destroy the Church He founded. The government of Rome also came to vigorously persecute the followers of this Jewish teacher from Galilee. Today, there is much confusion and questions concerning this controversial figure. Where can you go for the answers? The Bible. This Bible Study aid booklet, "Jesus Christ: The Real Story" will help explain what is written in the Bible about Jesus Christ. You can discover the answers to these questions and more: Who was Jesus Christ of Nazareth? Where did He come from? When was Jesus Christ born? What did Jesus teach? Was He God in the flesh? What did Jesus look like? Was He only a man? Why did He die? Discover the true, fascinating story that so few understand. The story of the greatest Man who ever lived and the misunderstood message He preached—the gospel (good news) of the coming Kingdom of God!

Inside this Bible Study Aid ebook: "Perhaps the boldest claim Jesus made about His identity was the statement, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM” (John:8:58)...What was going on here? Jesus was revealing His identity as the actual One whom the Jews knew as God in the Old Testament." "The New Testament writers cite messianic prophecies from the Old Testament more than 130 times. By some estimates the Old Testament contains 300 prophetic passages that describe who the Messiah is and what He will do. Of these, 60 are major prophecies. What are the chances of these prophecies being fulfilled in one person?" "A careful analysis of Scripture, however, clearly indicates that December 25 is an unlikely date for Christ’s birth. Here are two primary reasons..." "How can we fit “three days and three nights” between a Friday-afternoon crucifixion and a Sunday-morning resurrection?"

I was awakened up this morning out of sleep, when I looked at the clock; it said three, in the morning. As I began to say this, I Heard softly this is one of Gods perfect numbers.I went up into the loft and as I was looking around, I saw my rocker in the corner of the loft, where I used to pray; now this is three o clock in the morning. I Heard the Spirit of God speak unto me so softly and say these Words, why don't you go over there and pray, because I was going to go down stairs and pray on the couch, when I got done, up In the loft, this was just my thoughts that I had earlier. So when I Heard the Spirit speak unto me, He was actually leading me to go over there in the rocker and for me to pray there. It is always important to obey the Voice of God and do everything that He tells you to do and Follow His leadings as He gives then unto you, for the reason that the Spirit of God spoke unto you in the first place, because God always has a reason, for speaking unto us, we must realize these things, all through our walk with God, all of the days of our life.I obeyed the Voice of the Lord and took the gloves off of the rocker and sit down to pray. Then I began to pray softly and to begin to sing and worship. However though, I was only in prayer and worship, approximately, three minutes and I Heard these Words spoken unto me, so softly, give us thy daily food, as I pondered on what I just Heard, thoughts come to me, in the Lord's prayer, there is a portion of it that says, give us our daily bread.You see when I went to bed earlier that night, I just wanted to sleep long enough, to get my rest and my plans were to get up in the middle of the night and pray for the leading of the Holy Ghost, for the next book that God wanted to write, because God is the writer, I am just His Servant, wanting to please God and always be led by the Spirit, to minister unto me, what to write, every time I write anything for God. This is just the way that God taught me to write Christian books. This is how that God gave me the leading of hid Spirit today, for my daily bread. (FOOD) I have been taught by the Holy Ghost, my teacher, to always be led by Him, to do many things, when it comes to God and especially to walk in the Anointing, being led by the Spirit is a way of life for me to always live and many people tell me, I never knew that you were a writer, well I am a Servant of the Lord, I just allow Him to lead and guide me to pray for the Anointing, on a regular basis and I just obey His Voice and His Leadings as He always gives them unto me.I am ask things a lot of times about, how did you get your land, and how can you afford to build a new home, on one income, because I am not working. This opens up a door, for me to witness, about everything that God has blessed me and my wife with. When I tell these people, Christians and sinners alike, how God gave us our land from one short heart felt prayer, they are always amazed, and usually, in wow and wonder. God is a good God, if His Children could learn how to pray and live for God and learn to live Holy, as the Word of God tell you to live, then you too can be given, your daily bread (FOOD) FROM THE LORD, to experience Gods Love on a higher level than fleshly thinking and become lead by the Spirit of God, to draw you unto a higher way of living in life. As a Son or a Daughter that is led by the Spirit of God and allow this to become a way of life for you, you also Will experience, God's grace giving you hidden daily bread, not just once in a while, Being a partaker of the table of God, in this life, in the natural and in the Spiritual. Your mind needs to be renewed to be taught these things, from your Spiritual teacher, the Holy Ghost. for all the reasons that God baptized you, with His baptism.Gods Will for every Child of God is, to receive your daily bread in life, if you ever get a revelation, on how to serve God, with all of your heart, mind, and Soul, YOU WILL BE taught.
