The Battleground of Rational Fear
by Joe-Paul Swinski
This refrain plays through my mind as I encounter struggles in my own life and see them in the life of so many Christians who are near and dear to me. We all took that step of faith where we proclaimed we were helplessly dead in our sins and could do nothing but call out to the God of Heaven and Earth to save us and bring us into an eternal relationship with Him. We took that step of faith and maybe we thought that everything else would fall into place. The growing pains I experienced when I realized that God would neither remove me from the battle that is life, nor give me the victory over every struggle I faced the first day I was saved is still fresh in my mind. Listening to a respected leader in our church who I go to for advice and encouragement, I was sternly reminded that the road of faith and dependence on God does not end with salvation. “How were you saved,” he asked. “By faith,” I replied. “And do you think we no longer live by faith now that we are saved?” “No, I guess not.” This book is a collection of the lessons I learned as I came to realize this most basic truth. — from the Preface
Heart Warming Truths
Drew Craig
“The first meditation, ‘A Caring Creator,’ captured my attention, and warmed my heart, but that was just the beginning. Every page is exciting and enriching reading, as the author exalts our beloved Lord. He does so as he dwells on ‘Constraining Love,’ ‘God’s Pleasure in His Son,’ who ‘Demonstrated His Grace.’ ‘Moral Excellence’ and other great attributes of God and His Son, will encourage you in ‘Serving Our Own Generation,’ and ‘The Kind of People God Uses’—such as ‘A Man With Fear in His Heart,’ ‘A Man with Fountains in His Eyes,’ ‘A Man with Fire in His Bones.’
Sit back, relax, and meditate on these soul-thrilling themes.” —Arnot McIntee, from the forward
