Book Description
As the title states, this is the third book in the Messages series from Christian author David W. Crump. In book 3, the same theme is carried over from books 1 and 2. In this book, David again serves as God's messenger, bringing you thoughts based on biblical scripture to help you find or renew your faith. He writes in easy-to-understand plain language using common symbols and everyday events to bring you God's messages clearly. One example is the message entitled "If You Could Measure the Bible," where it says, "Think of the Bible as a treadmill, no matter how many steps you take, you never reach the end. In other words, the more your eyes are opened by the Scriptures, the more you yearn to see." Another example is the message titled "I Rejoice in His Choice," which says, "By choosing me to be one of His Holy Messengers, God has given me an opportunity to use the gift that I freely received. He blessed me with the skillful use of words. With this gift, I glorify Him. I rejoice in His choice." In Messages from God's Humble Servant, David has written compelling messages. The seeds of which are sent to him from our Father in Heaven to help those who are searching for the road that leads back to God.

Book Description
Some books can, in fact, be judged by their cover. Or at the very least, by their title. One such book is More Messages from God's Humble Servant. The title tells you exactly what you're going to find inside. The author, David W. Crump, has put together another book of messages sent to you from our heavenly father. These messages are meant to spark your faith. They are meant to have the same effect on you as if you poured gasoline on a fire. Take for example "God's Hands" . . . "I am in the palm of God's hands. When the storms of life come upon me, God closes his hands to protect me from the storms." Another example is "The Account" . . . "If you live a very short life but you walk with God every day, your heavenly account will show paid in full." As in his first book Messages from God's Humble Servant, this edition is a continuation of the same theme. It is meant to help those who have somehow lost their way or whose faith has been eroded by the hard knocks of life. In More Messages from God's Humble Servant, David delivers God's messages to you in easy to understand terms to help you find your way back to our heavenly father.

Book Description
This addition to the Messages series is a continuation of the original theme found in the first book. In the Fourth Book of Messages from God's Humble Servant, we are again challenged to examine ourselves. When faced with a fork in the road, the Fourth Book is meant to help us choose the path that God has planned for our lives. One example is the message "The Pathway Home." I have been on my way, walking home, for many years now. The only pathway that will lead me home is the one that is guided by my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. My home is not earthbound. My home is in the kingdom of heaven. The messages act as a mirror and allow us to take a good long look at ourselves...at how we are living. For instance, if we attend a party and see someone we know to be wealthy, we watch that person. We listen to see if we share the same thoughts concerning our finances. The message "Money or Belief" gives us reason to pause. With enough money, you can build the most luxurious mansion ever designed by man. But no amount of money can buy you a pup tent in the kingdom of heaven. The price of admission into heaven is belief in God. While the messages in the Fourth Book of Messages from God's Humble Servant are based on biblical scripture, it is not the Bible. They are simply intended to help believers and nonbelievers who have lost their way get back on the pathway that leads to the kingdom of heaven.

Book Description
“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” —1 Peter 5:5 A battle rages within every one of us every day. It’s the clash between our sense of stubborn self-sufficiency and God’s call to recognize that we’re really nothing without Him. It’s pride versus humility. And it’s a fight we can’t win without looking repeatedly to Christ and the cross. C. J. Mahaney raises a battle cry to daily, diligently, and deliberately weaken our greatest enemy (pride) and cultivate our greatest friend (humility). His thorough examination clarifies misconceptions, revealing the truth about why God detests pride and turns His active attention to the humble. Because pride is never passive, defeating it demands an intentional attack. The blessing that follows is God’s abundant favor. “This is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit.” —Isaiah 66:2, ESV God clearly states that He is drawn to the humble. He’s also clear that He opposes the proud. These two, humility and pride, cannot coexist. Where one is fostered, the other is defeated. Which will you pursue? When you acknowledge the deception of pride and intentionally humble yourself, you become free to savor abundant mercies and unlikely graces. You will find a new life is yours—a life God richly favors. A God-glorifying life you don’t want to miss.

Book Description
The author of Desiring God reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Includes a study guide for individual and small-group use. Isn’t it true—we really don’t know someone until we understand what makes that person happy? And so it is with God! What does bring delight to the happiest Being in the universe? John Piper writes, that it’s only when we know what makes God glad that we’ll know the greatness of His glory. Therefore, we must comprehend “the pleasures of God.” Unlike so much of what is written today, this is not a book about us. It is about the One we were made for—God Himself. In this theological masterpiece—chosen by World Magazine as one of the 20th Century’s top 100 books, John Piper reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Then we will be able to drink deeply—and satisfyingly—from the only well that offers living water. What followers of Jesus need now, more than anything else, is to know and love—behold and embrace—the great, glorious, sovereign, happy God of the Bible. “This is a unique and precious book that everybody should read more than once.” —J.I. PACKER, Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia

Book Description
Profound reflections on the cross that help you to meditate on and marvel at the sacrificial love of Jesus. This book can be used as a devotional, especially during Lent and Easter. These profound reflections on the cross from David Mathis, author of The Christmas We Didn’t Expect, will help you to meditate on and marvel at Jesus’ life, sacrificial death, and spectacular resurrection-enabling you to treasure anew who Jesus is and what he has done. Many of us are so familiar with the Easter story that it becomes easy to miss subtle details and difficult to really enjoy its meaning. This book will help you to pause and marvel at Jesus, whose now-glorified wounds are a sign of his unfailing love and the decisive victory that he has won: “He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) This book can be used as a devotional. The chapters on Holy Week make it especially helpful during the Lent season and at Easter.

Book Description
A COVER-UP OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS... Centuries ago, English translators perpetrated a fraud in the New Testament, and it’s been purposely hidden and covered up ever since. Your own Bible is probably included in the cover-up! In this book, which includes a study guide for personal or group use, John MacArthur unveils the essential and clarifying revelation that may be keeping you from a fulfilling—and correct—relationship with God. It’s powerful. It’s controversial. And with new eyes you’ll see the riches of your salvation in a radically new way. What does it mean to be a Christian the way Jesus defined it? MacArthur says it all boils down to one word: SLAVE “We have been bought with a price. We belong to Christ. We are His own possession.” Endorsements: "Dr. John MacArthur is never afraid to tell the truth and in this book he does just that. The Christian's great privilege is to be the slave of Christ. Dr. MacArthur makes it clear that this is one of the Bible's most succinct ways of describing our discipleship. This is a powerful exposition of Scripture, a convincing corrective to shallow Christianity, a masterful work of pastoral encouragement...a devotional classic." - Dr. R. Albert Mohler, President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary "John MacArthur expertly and lucidly explains that Jesus frees us from bondage into a royal slavery that we might be His possession. Those who would be His children must, paradoxically, be willing to be His slaves." - Dr. R.C. Sproul "Dr. John MacArthur's teaching on 'slavery' resonates in the deepest recesses of my 'inner-man.' As an African-American pastor, I have been there. That is why the thought of someone writing about slavery as being a 'God-send' was the most ludicrous, unconscionable thing that I could have ever imagined...until I read this book. Now I see that becoming a slave is a biblical command, completely redefining the idea of freedom in Christ. I don't want to simply be a 'follower' or even just a 'servant'...but a 'slave'." - The Rev. Dr. Dallas H. Wilson, Jr., Vicar, St. John's Episcopal Chapel, Charleston, SC

Circumstances... They are not all they're cracked up to be.

In this letter, he demonstrated several life attitudes that were shocking in their audacity and counter intuitiveness: Rejoice in the Lord, always Living means living for Christ, and dying is even better Think of others as better than yourselves Whatever things were gain, count them as loss You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you! —ABOUT THE SERIES— The MacArthur Bible Study series is designed to help you study the Word of God with guidance from widely respected pastor and author John MacArthur.
