Fit For Masters Use

The design of God for the family is for them to fulfill His plan together, and for children to be a source of great pleasure and joy. When parents raise their children according to the Word of God, children are enjoyed, and are a joy for others to be around. Amid today's troubled society, Christian families are to rise up and sing openly as testimonies of how a God-filled home is to be a place of heaven on earth. We must always remember the home of the believer is to be a shining testimony of God's grace, love, and power to a world full of hopelessness. The home of every Christian should bear the mark of being untouched by that which is destroying many homes in today's society. Every Christian family is to stand up in the face of all that is wrong and proclaim, "Not here! You won't come into my home! We're doers of the Word!" Then that which destroys the homes of millions, won't gain entrance into your home. Protect your home from all that would divide. God will hold that home in the safety of His power as those in the home choose to live according to His Word. In writing Fit for the Master's Use, Nancy Dufresne draws on the Word, on many years of pastoring, and on her own parenting experience to bring to you a Word-based, commonsense guide to parenting that will help you create a God-filled home that will be a place of heaven on earth.

In 1987, Meyers delivered the ten most important messages of his life. He began with the appeal that each person examines himself, lest God should cease to use a man because of sin, and he becomes a castaway. In the next message he proclaims the glorious truth that no matter how marred a life may be, God can make it over. Five messages follow that show the way of victory for the Christian over the power of sin, then two follow the that are devoted to a Spirit-filled life. The closing message invites each person to a place of heart rest in Jesus Christ. Those messages have been reprinted today in "Fit For The Master's Use." F.B. Meyer longed for every Christian to walk in the sweet fellowship he shared with Christ. Let these messages draw you into a place where the Master uses you and communes with you each day.

If You Love God's Word You Will Love This New Testament! The Disciples' Literal New Testament sets you free from our artificial 460 year old chapter and verse structure, replacing it with paragraphing that reflects the flow of thought in the original Greek writings. Paragraph headings make that flow of thought explicit to you, speeding your understanding of the NT books. This translation retains the writing style of the apostles themselves, rather than transforming their Greek ways of writing into an elegant or contemporary English writing style, as has been beautifully done so many times. It is the same translation as the author's New Testament TransLine, first published by Zondervan in 2002. Now you can read the New Testament as the original writers intended it, and see it with a clarity formerly available only to those who could carefully study their Greek New Testament. You can even see the difference in writing style between Matthew, Mark and Luke! Used along with your standard Bible version, you will profit from both methods of translation. *Easily grasp the relationship of the whole and the parts of each book with the big-picture overview outlines that use the words of the original author. *Gain quick insight into the flow of thought from descriptive paragraph headings that summarize the main point of each paragraph in its context. *You can visually follow the apostles' thinking because the 'Intelligent Paragraphing' visually displays their main and subordinate thoughts. *The hindrance to your understanding caused by our artificial chapter and verse structure is eliminated by paragraphing based on the Greek writings. *You will more fully appreciate the minds and thinking patterns and intent of the original writers because the translation corresponds more closely to their words and their grammar and their sentence structure. *Deepen and expand your understanding of the New Testament by meditating on the notes containing alternative renderings, explanations of what is being said, and different views of the meaning.
