Showing results for "Normal!" in Christian Living

Teresa Verdecchio tackles the controversial and much-misunderstood gift of praying in tongues for personal edification. She encourages believers to be unapologetic and intentional about praying in tongues—normalizing it as a regular, “not weird,” biblical, Christian discipline. The Holy Spirit gives us the power to live a transformed life and praying in tongues grants us access to the mysteries of God. He is our helper and has a rich, distinct personality as part of the Godhead.

In the church today, we have everything buttoned up perfectly. The music is flawless, the sermon well-prepared and smoothly delivered, and the grounds meticulously kept. People come on time and go home on time. But a fundamental element is missing. The business of church has undermined the individual's need to truly live for Christ, so much so, that only a limited few are seeing their life impact the world.

It's unnerving, isn't it? When our faith feels ungrounded, untethered . . . unreal. When our certainty is adrift, as though an undercurrent has pulled us away from shore into the deep, into the darkness. And if this is you—if you're in a dark night of the soul—please know that you are not alone. (And you are not as far away from safety as you may feel or fear.) The night is not your enemy. In fact, the night is necessary. Revered author, speaker, and mentor Dr. Alicia Britt Chole offers a groundbreaking perspective that reveals spiritual disillusionment as an unexpected friend.

The supernatural life that Jesus modeled is not reserved for a few "superstar" Christians; it is meant to be the normal life for every believer. All Christians are called and equipped by God to see his Kingdom break in as part of their day-to-day life. Wherever they go, they can see people's lives transformed as they demonstrate God's love outside the four walls of the church.

In today's world, the common has become the norm. Just take a glance at any social media platform--everyone seems to be following the same trends. But imagine if you could break away from the ordinary and lead an extraordinary life. Hebrews 11 holds a powerful but often overlooked message: it reveals the stories of individuals who defied the norm, enduring challenges and living remarkable lives to inspire and empower us to do likewise. God is shaping you through your current situation, not to be average but to be extraordinary--someone ready to be used for His glory.

Jesus and the Book of Acts are the standard of normal Christianity. Remember the fad a few years ago when people wore bracelets reminding them, "What Would Jesus Do?" Christians state that Jesus is the example of how to live, yet this has been limited in many cases to how we view our moral character.

The truth is far too many of us visit the land of God’s blessing but never live there. We spend much of our lives feeling like we are on the outside of his blessing looking in, but never knowing a sustained experience of God’s best. This book explores the pathway into the Promised Land that Joshua and the people of Israel trekked and provides spiritual principles for fighting the spiritual battles that unlock a life of walking in God’s best.

Do you feel that your life is pleasing to God - almost? When you hear about pastors, missionaries, and popular speakers, do you feel just a bit second-class, as if your life appears lukewarm and not as radical as theirs? You're not alone. A vague sense of guilt is common in the church. We know God's grace is the key to eternal life, but it's so much more than that - it's the key to a joy-filled walk with him every moment. Josh Kelley shows why you don't have to give away everything you own to be a fully committed follower of Jesus Christ.

This comprehensive guide is designed to help you and your church enter a lifestyle where the supernatural becomes normal—a lifestyle in which God’s perfect will breaks into this world, and Jesus is glorified.

Being miraculously normal is reflected in a being who is loving, caring, forgiving, enduring, and living in this present world. This book is the third in this series forming a trilogy and expounds on the Lord’s prayer in John 17 for all his people to become one - as one as the father and the son are one. In his prayer, he gave three gifts to accomplish the oneness of his people: eternal life, truth and his glory. When previously divided, even hostile people can become one in this present conflicting and confusing age.
