Monday Blues to Sunday Pews

Are today's times of uncertainty causing stress beyond all measures? Are the worries and anxieties of today consuming life to its breaking point? With the constant battles daily confronting all people, how should these ongoing barriers be combatted? Readers must ask if they are seeking more inner peace and strength to cope with the unknown--if they truly desire more confidence and enthusiasm in their Christian walk. Bottom line, are they yearning to grow and mature in their spiritual life to help them overcome all of life's tribulations on this side of heaven? If this is their genuine search as a follower of Jesus Christ, one crucial component may be missing in life, which will help to stay focused and grounded on the path to the future kingdom: "Trusting God." This book will challenge followers of Christ to ensure that their complete trust in God is reflected in daily life. If believers have genuinely been saved, the evidence of their trust and obedience to biblical truths should be displayed, especially during the most intense trials. This journey will help Christians become more accountable in their walk with the Lord by applying the truths of Scripture in their everyday lives.

Today more than ever, Christians are overwhelmed and oversaturated with the accelerated negative news and society craze, and it's leading them into a spiritual rut. Studies show alarming statistics on why people are falling into this rut of complacency, and it's one of the critical areas where the enemy attacks us the most-doubt. Are the teachings from God's word sustaining our life throughout the week? If we're to be God's hands, mouth, and feet in this world, something must change within each one of us individually! There's a power source that's available for each one of us to tap into daily. This Christian-living book will take us on a journey. It will show us the importance of applying God's word and living out the example of Christ starting on Monday and sustaining us to our battleground in the Sunday pew. And what better place to begin than Genesis-taking those first steps with God! God values our daily walk with the Greatest Guide because it can impact our lives so powerfully-for His glory. But only if we live and breathe it daily. Our wholehearted commitment starts now.

In a society where so many people feel helpless and hopeless, they need to grasp onto someone who will release them from the bondage preventing them from attaining the beautiful things God has in store. So often, we don't know how to fight our spiritual battles, leading to a weakened and defeated spirit. This state of delusion and confusion is only the work of a dark force that's keeping people shackled in chains and suppressing their glorious life of liberty in Jesus Christ. We all long for a life full of peace, purpose, and a plan that will lead to a glorious journey with the presence of our Lord every step of the way. The reality of believing in Jesus, obeying his word, and knowing the truth brings spiritual freedom. And such a privilege includes freedom from the bondage of falsehood! "For his truth sets us free!" This forty-day devotional guide through Exodus will show us times of being in bondage-to a stage of deliverance-to wandering in the wilderness-and how to rely on the strength and guidance of an Almighty God. And that's where spiritual freedom comes to the surface in our "intentional" lives!

We are undoubtedly living in a society and culture that is growing stranger by the day--creating more distance between others, minute by minute. It seems that people are living in their own little bubbles and silos more than ever--with no interest in connecting with people effectively. And it is evident that the rise of the digital age is affecting people mentally and emotionally, leading to voidness and isolation and a sense of hopelessness and helplessness. Billions of people are connecting with an unproductive device in their hands when it should be the word of God! There is no spiritual value when we allow the things of this world to consume our lives more than God's divine nature. Do we really think anything will improve in our homes, communities, churches, schools, country, and globally if we're not grounded and connected in the Truths of his word? We must realize that connecting with humans physically, emotionally, and spiritually is how God designed us. Just like our Creator wants a relationship with you and me, he wants us to bond with others so they can also see the experience of his abundant blessings and goodness in our lives. We cannot afford to be on the sidelines because it's all about cultivating genuine care for God's creation and putting it into practice for the sake of ourselves and others, now more than ever.

"We will always obey our Lord at all costs." This is the opposite of the spirit of lawlessness, which despises authority and cultivates chaos, division, and destruction. And there is no doubt that lawless and unrighteous acts are on the rise throughout this country. In a time when unholiness is rampant in our homes, schools, communities, churches, and abroad, there are alarming concerns about these escalating acts. If we're not students of God's word, growing in his grace and love as believers, we can find ourselves vulnerable to the rise of unholiness because it can distort our minds, heart, and attitude. It's important that God's children are on the front line in pursuing God's most divine nature of holiness and living as intentional followers of Christ. Because make no mistake: God the Father, Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit are not pleased with all the unholy practices saturating our lives. They are calling believers to intercede in the gap and bridge God's holiness in people's lives! As devout Christians, we are needed more than ever because an intense battle of spiritual warfare is spreading where evil is trying to take over, and we cannot allow this to happen.

In a day and age where society and culture are veering further away from the teachings of God's word in homes globally, it is becoming more and more evident that there is a breakdown within the walls of family homes across this great land. Undoubtedly, these times of confusion in the home, schools, and communities are escalating each passing day, creating more division and disheartenment. With all the spiritual threats robbing people's children of Hope, something within the walls of the home must change for the well-being of these young ones, today more than ever. If parents and family leaders don't engage with their children and rein in these apparent issues, they will continue to see a generation of people spiraling out of control. This book, God's Generation of Hope, is going to reveal some heart-wrenching and eye-opening facts about how external forces are creeping inside the lives of families and creating a distance between the household and Almighty God. Someone must take ownership immediately for the children's state of spiritual survival. Parents, action is needed today to instill the Living Hope in the lives of the younger generation like never before!
