He Calls Me Friend
Author: Patrick J Vaughan
Publisher: Sealed By Truth
ISBN:
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 22
Book Description
He calls me friends is titled and means just what it says; a book about friends and friendships. Each and every friend and friendship encounter we have and will have is special with each and every person in its own special and unique way. We will have different interests and things in common with each and every one also. Just because we bond with one a certain way does not mean we will have that same bond and interest with another, although you could. I believe there are qualities that are specific in each and every friendship and relationship though. The literal translation and definition through various dictionaries describe friend and friendship as companions, partners, supporter, one attached to, those kind to, and one to have true affection for. These are literal definitions but have real personal characteristics. The definition of your friend or friends could include any one of the descriptions above or all of them. I started writing this book after encouraging another on how he was an exceptional friend. I told him that he was a true friend that distance could not separate. Whether this person was close or far, he remained a close friend to many. I told him that I believed that if ever one of his friends had a need, he would be there for them no matter what. He had kept contact with them frequently, showing them they were special and thought of. In our society of social media, it is easier to do that and we should take full advantage of it when it comes to friends. You can really compile a number of friends on social media, in fact be a friend of a friend. Social media can be used to accumulate friends, but also have to admit that I really am not close to all in that circle. This person above also would give up what he had if that friend had a need; “Sacrifice”. He considered everyone he had contact and experiences with to be a friend. He even considered family members friends. That should always be true, but sometimes it isn't. He also kept up these friendships over long periods of time; “Faithfulness”. I believe there are many out there and many who are reading this who have done the same, but I am afraid that I have not been one of them and maybe that describes you also. There are probably also just as many or more who haven't. I sit curious about certain friends I had in High School. I reflect on those whom I knew while in the Air Force in California but do not know what has become of them. Distance separated me from those whom I felt close. One of the main aspects of friendships and having friends is being a friend. That seems easy, but there are many who may have failed at this. I am interested in learning and moving forward in that destination and conquest. It is never to late to have more friends and to be a friend. I will have to admit at the start that while in a relationship and friendship I was hard to get know initially, but when opened up, made and had great friends. I can remember my Father telling me when I was a teenager that if I had five good friends that stood by me all through my life I would be a happy and successful man. At the time he said that, I had exactly that, five great friends. I now still know these but are not as close as I would like to be.We have grown apart by distance, families, interest, and differences. If people are not under the definition of friends for life, they are or become merely acquaintances. Acquaintances are those you know and know about, but don't really know.

HARD LOVE
Author: April Buchanan
Publisher: Covenant Books, Inc.
ISBN: 1646707184
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
In this world, we learn much about love, but it is only in relationship with God that we truly learn what love is and what it is not. On this side of eternity, we will not fully know all there is to know about the love of God. In fact, it is the things we experience in this world that reveal what we have believed about love and how we have allowed our experiences, culture, and relationships to shape our lives and define love for us. We then take that definition of love and write it upon the hearts and lives of others. How important it is then that we know the true definition of love and that we know the Author, God. Jesus summed up all the commandments in this: love God and love one another. It sounds so easy, but most times, we find that true love is in fact quite the contrary. It is a hard love. This may not sound like what we would expect to hear, though let us pause but for a moment and consider what we have learned about love. Consider our relationships in this world, and if we are Christians, then let us consider our relationships with those in the body of Christ. Now let us consider how well we have done in loving God and loving one another. Would we still say that it is always easy? Likely, we could each think of times when we have endured suffering, hurt, loss, brokenness, rejection, abandonment, false accusations, and so much more or perhaps how we have not only been on the receiving end of these, but also we have caused others pain in our own pursuit of love. It is my hope that throughout these pages we will examine the truth of each our own hearts and rather than redefining love or passing down a definition of love that we have been taught that is not the love of God that we discover or rediscover the true love of God. It is my hope that these words will reach many hearts that are longing for what our hearts were created for, fellowship with God, to know His love personally and share it with all. In order that we have this love, it begins first with the examination of our hearts with the truth and the truth of our own condition. A heart-seeking love must seek truth for we cannot have one without the other.

The Conclusion of the New Testament (8)
Author: Witness Lee
Publisher: Living Stream Ministry
ISBN: 0736360026
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 635
Book Description
In the Lord’s recovery during the past five hundred years the church’s knowledge of the Lord and His truth has been continually progressing. This monumental and classical work by Brother Witness Lee builds upon and is a further development of all that the Lord has revealed to His church in the past centuries. It is filled with the revelation concerning the processed Triune God, the living Christ, the life-giving Spirit, the experience of life, and the definition and practice of the church. In this set Brother Lee has kept three basic principles that should rule and govern every believer in their interpretation, development, and expounding of the truths contained in the Scriptures. The first principle is that of the Triune God dispensing Himself into His chosen and redeemed people; the second principle is that we should interpret, develop, and expound the truths contained in the Bible with Christ for the church; and the third governing principle is Christ, the Spirit, life, and the church. No other study or exposition of the New Testament conveys the life nourishment or ushers the reader into the divine revelation of God’s holy Word according to His New Testament economy as this one does.
