The Servant Attitude, The Power of Working Together, Walking Worthy, and more

Filled With Blessings and Encouragement 

Danny Dodson’s book gives us a collection of his own life experiences that offer “lessons learned” insight to uplift the spiritual condition of readers while giving them a bit of entertainment along the way. Some of the stories are humorous, and some are nostalgic, as the author points out. However, all involve the application of life experiences that teach us valuable principles we need to learn from the Holy Scriptures. We travel along our earthly journeys in preparation for an eternal home; but, in the meantime, while on Earth, our earthly stories can have deep spiritual significance. This is the purpose of the book – to teach some spiritual lessons learned from real-life events, and to give readers a deeper understanding of their own walk with God.

Deeply insightful, the author starts off with the book’s first section being entitled “Walking Worthy.”  Does this not say it all?  Then he delves into chapters that offer really wonderful insights with teachings that one cannot lay aside. Chapters within Section 1: “Walking Worthy” include: How’s Your Eyesight? The Servant Attitude, The Power of Working Together, and Lacing Up Your Gospel Shoes.  Section 2: “Overcoming Satan” includes: The Devil Sounds A Lot Like God, Unable to Walk, The Jericho Road, and Christian Superpowers and Kryptonite. Section 3: “Looking to the Goal” includes: Heaven Will Surely Be Worth It All, Keeping Your Eyes on Jesus, and Christ and the Church. And Section 4: “Final Thoughts” includes: Uncomfortable Joy, and Mother’s Last Message.  All these chapters give deep meaning and understanding to the valleys and mountaintops we all experience.

I find his book a fantastic read to help understand that there is victory on the other side. His teachings are truly invaluable, life-changing, and a blessing to read. As a long-time Bible student, teacher, and preacher, his writings are sermons that one will not forget.

Filled with Scriptural insight and much teaching, this book comes as highly recommended to those in need of spiritual direction, Biblical encouragement, and inspiration!

Author James Collins takes readers through the 23rd Psalm – giving readers the experience of one of the most popular Psalms in the Bible. 

He describes Psalm 23 as a psalm for all of life. When faced with trials, tribulation, sorrow, and death – the Psalm gives comfort to all. When in need of hope – Psalm 23 gives comfort and courage to all who would seek to understand that we are His chosen people and we are the sheep of His (Christ’s) pasture. And He is the Good Shepherd, the Shepherd who cares for the sheep. There is no other Psalm like the 23rd Psalm to help one understand the care that the Shepherd gives to His sheep.

Within that the author endeavors to help readers understand the deeper meaning of the contrast between saying that Jesus is My Shepherd. The line that struck me was there are no wild sheep. If sheep run they will die in the wild. As such, he defines the absolute care and protection that the Shepherd brings to His flock. The Shepherd cares for each and every one, as a shepherd in the field cares for the sheep. He also mentions that even though Psalm 23 is often read at funerals, Psalm 23 is a psalm for all the days of our lives – to give life and hope.

With such chapters as: That’s Enough, The Right Path, Through the Valley, Behind Enemy Lines, The Best is Yet to Come, I Am the Good Shepherd, Shepherds and the Lamb with a chapter on How to Receive Christ – making this book an experience of Psalm 23 and a life-changing Psalm.

I love the interludes, the thought-provoking stories, and the way he summarizes what he writes in a simplistic way without too much theology or long-winded preaching. The author speaks from the heart as a Biblical counselor and pastor that comforts.

Wonderful insight and Biblical integrity envelope the book, giving readers hope, inspiration, comfort, courage, and hope. All will see that walking with the Lamb of God as the Good Shepherd is the way to peace, contentment, and hope in this dark world. It is the Good Shepherd who gave His life for the sheep. 

Experiencing this book brings a deeper appreciation for the Cross and a greater understanding of Psalms 22, 23, and Psalm 24 as well. It was David who penned these psalms, which are still incredibly relevant for today. They also reveal the magnificence of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, who came to save the world and to die on a Cross for all who would receive Him. This is an exemplary book!

A highly recommended read for those looking for hope and encouragement amid fear, anxiety, worry, and depression – Psalm 23 is a lifetime Psalm for all.

THE MARK

Salvation - Gospel Basics

 

“If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised Him from death, you will be saved.” (Romans 10: 9-10)

 

Salvation is the deliverance from sin and its consequences.  It is an internal transformation given to us from God alone, in which He washes away your sin, gives you a new heart, and plants His Spirit within you.  This act of regeneration gives us assurance of heaven.

​

The only way to be sure of heaven is to have the righteousness of Christ imputed into you through faith, alone, in Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior.  There are no works or good deeds anyone can do to earn a spot in heaven!  Eternal salvation is given by grace alone as a free gift from God as a result of your faith in Jesus’s atonement on the cross.  Jesus took our sins upon Himself and gave us His righteousness in return!  It’s that easy! 

​

We need to look at salvation as a saving act done once, by Jesus, but lasting for eternity. 

​

In the past, we have been saved from the penalty of sin.  Since the “wages of sin” is death (Romans 6:23), Jesus set us free from the eternal penalty (hell) of sin.  This is our justification.

​

In the present, we are being saved from the power of sin.  Since all sinners are “slaves to sin” (John 8:34), Jesus set us free from Satan’s grip on our sinfulness.  As we walk with the Spirit’s guidance, we become more like Jesus every day.  This is our sanctification.

​

In the future, we will be saved from the presence of sin.  Jesus will eternally eliminate sin and we will share His glory in heaven. (Romans 8:30).  Christians live each day with this hope in a future without sin and its consequences.  This is our glorification.

With our salvation being a loving act (dying and rising) by Jesus that makes us righteous in God’s eyes in the past, present, and future, we as Christians can BE SURE that we will never lose our eternal destiny.

CBM Christian Book Review - Home Before Dark

Highly Recommended Reading - Kim Vogler’s Newest Edition of her book Home After Dark (Volume 2) presents her life’s memoir. Growing up in an idyllic setting in the 40’s and 50’s of suburban Idaho, her title, Home Before Dark, speaks of a time of innocence, as mother’s would say to their children to “be home before dark.” This era was encapsulated by tradition and routines wherein families could thrive. Dad worked; mom ran the house. Kim writes to reveal her childhood years, growing up loving writing and poems passed on by her father’s love of poetic writing, as she writes of the often challenging and confusing times through young adulthood into college, on to career, a failed marriage heartbreak to finding true love and success. She resoundingly states that God got her through it all! 

Revealing a young woman’s hopes to find life unfold into an adventure for self-discovery during the turbulent 60’s and finding new beginnings after heartbreak. Her resilient nature and faith in God reveal a book that wants readers to know that yes, the devil is alive and active, yet God is the One Who will get one through it all!   

As a talented author and writer, her love for writing is revealed in this book as well, professionally done, she offers hope to readers while bringing an entertaining read to the table for all that need encouragement, hope, and understanding. 

With a vibrant heart and a spirit-filled with tenacity, Kim writes to help readers understand the grace of God around every corner that not only helped her through really difficult times in her life, but points readers to the only One who can get us through difficult seasons of life.  

A Must Read!

For New Believers, Long Time Christians, Former Christians and Teenagers

Filled with Inspirational Scriptures, Powerful Prayers, Meaningful Positive Affirmations, and Dynamic Images to get your days starting joyfully and your nights ending serenely.Each morning and night contain a scripture, a prayer, a positive affirmation, and an image. Each page also has a place to write the date as you read and a place to write notes.

This is the all-in-one devotion that you need. It is the most complete and comprehensive devotion written, from my point of view. No scripture, prayer or positive affirmation is repeated. All the prayers and positive affirmations are unique to the scriptures that they’re with. You will not be bored reading this devotion. It’s different from any other devotion that you’ve read before. This is written in an interesting and engaging style to get you reading each morning and night without skipping a day.

This devotion starts from Day 1 and goes to Day 365. This means that you can start using this book at any time during the year. It’s not based on calendar year but rather YOUR year. This devotion will give you the chance to somewhat read the entire Bible, or at least get you close to doing that in 365 days.

This devotion tells the story of God and His agape love for His most beloved creation…us. This devotion is written to be read over the course of a year. However, if you find that you can’t wait to complete it over a year’s time, then go right ahead and read it how you want to read it. This devotion was written to assist you in living the best spiritual and temporal lives that you can. It was also written to make you enjoy reading the Bible and understand what it is about. This devotion is intriguing, fascinating, and a page-turner.

Once you’ve finished reading this devotion, you should understand who God is, why He did what He did for humanity, and what we need to do to be saved. Also, it tells what will happen to the heavens, to Earth and everything in it once God makes His appearance again to us.

This devotion is chronologically done, from before the beginning of creation unto the end of it. The entire story of the children of Israel is chronologically told from all the books of the Old Testament. The chronological story of Jesus Christ is also told. It also tells of the apostles who took over spreading the Gospel after Jesus left Earth. All the books of the New Testament are used to write about Jesus and His apostles. To make reading this devotion more interesting, suspenseful, and exciting, the story of the Israelites and the story of Jesus Christ are intertwined. However, they are still easy to follow.

It also has Important Scriptures and Powerful Prayers to deal with major life problems like racism and environmental issues.

This devotion is good for:

• Women who want to improve and be a better version of themselves.
• Women who are looking for a fun way of reading the Bible.
• Women who are looking for a new devotion.
• New believers.
• Long-time Christians.
• Former Christians.
• Teenagers.

Life Sometimes Comes With Dark Skies

He had a beautiful, loving wife and four small children. His life could not have been better. It was nothing but blue skies. Then, the unthinkable hit. He was struck with a devastating illness. The skies of his once-wonderful life became dark, very dark.

Dr. Laurie has been battling illness for nearly two decades. He has now courageously shared his story with you. Relying on nearly thirty years of medical practice and over twenty years in the ministry, Dr. Laurie has written prescriptions for you to find hope, strength, contentment, joy, and even victory when the struggles of life have darkened your blue skies.
