To Whom Do You Belong

(Act 27:21-25) When they had gone a long time without food, then Paul stood up in their midst and said, “Men, you ought to have followed my advice and not to have set sail from Crete and incurred this damage and loss. “Yet now I urge you to keep up your courage, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. “For this very night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood before me, saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted you all those who are sailing with you.’ “Therefore, keep up your courage, men, for I believe God that it will turn out exactly as I have been told.
Book ONE of Twelve
The above verses dramatically demonstrate that the Apostle Paul, the writer of some thirteen Books of the New Testament, not only knew “To Whom He Belonged”, but stated that he “Belongs To God”. There is on old saying that a woman cannot be partially pregnant, she is either pregnant or not, nothing in-between. This concept is especially true in everyone’s spiritual life. We are either alive in Christ and “Belong To God” or dead in our spiritual condition, therefore belonging to the devil. One cannot be partially “born-again”.
It is of utmost importance to note; this question of “Belonging To God” can only be decided upon and answered before one dies. If we can say without any question or doubt we “Belong To Him”, then we have His Word, The Holy Bible, as our “Owner’s Manual”. Since the designer and inventor of our lives has left us His “Owner’s Manual”, then it behooves each of us who have “believing faith”, to search this “Owner’s Manual” for the instructions, directions, promises and hope associated with “Belonging To This Almighty God Of The Universe”.
This Volume One, as well as all other volumes (Two through Twelve), are intended to help in that search. The search encouraged throughout these volumes is to know God’s Word and daily desire to exemplify IT through our actions. As we search the scripture it should be encouraging to take to heart, this special partial quote from the above verses, … “for I believe God” … as a great example of trusting His Word and maximizing that “trust belief” in all that we are and do!!!
It is my daily prayer that each reader will find, “the peace that passes all understanding”, in their journey of this enriching security and joy, found in “Belonging To and Believing God”!!!

Render Unto Caesar
$28.99Add to cartThe revered Bible scholar and author of The Historical Jesus explores the Christian culture wars–the debates over church and state–from a biblical perspective, exploring the earliest tensions evident in the New Testament, and offering a way forward for Christians today.
Leading Bible scholar John Dominic Crossan, the author of the pioneering work The Historical Jesus, provides new insight into the Christian culture wars which began in the New Testament and persist strongly today.
For decades, Americans have been divided on how Christians should relate to government and lawmakers, a dispute that has impacted every area of society and grown more rancorous over the past forty years. But as Crossan makes clear, this debate isn’t new; it can be found in the New Testament itself, most notably in the tensions between Luke-Acts and Revelations.
In the texts of Luke-Acts, Rome is considered favorably. In the book of Revelations, Rome is seen as the embodiment of evil in the world. Yet there is an alternative to these two extremes, Crossan explains. The historical Jesus and Paul, the earliest Christian teachers, were both strongly opposed to Rome, yet neither demonized the Empire.
Crossan sees in Jesus and Paul’s approach a model for Christians today that can be used to cut through the acrimony and polarization roiling our society and dividing us.

7 Last Words
$18.99Add to cartBased on his talks at New York’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Good Friday 2015, the New York Times bestselling author and editor at large of America magazine offers a portrait of Jesus, using his last words on the cross to reveal how deeply he understood our predicaments, what it means to be fully human, and why we can turn to Christ completely, in mind, heart, and soul.
Each meditation is dedicated to one of the seven sayings:
*”Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”
*”Today you will be with me in Paradise.”
*”Woman, this is your son” . . . “This is your mother.”?
*”My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”?
*”I thirst.”?
*”It is finished.”?
*”Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.”With the warmth, wisdom, and grace that infuse his works, Father James Martin explains why Jesus’s crucifixion and death on the cross is an important teaching moment in the Gospels. Jesus’s final statements, words that are deeply cherished by his followers, exemplify the depth of his suffering but also provide a key to his empathy and why we can connect with him so deeply.
