What Happens... When God Gets AngryGod created Heaven and earth and all that is in it. He created man and woman with His two hands and named them Adam and Eve. God told them they had total control of the Garden of Eden except one tree, "The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil." God did not want them to look at it or touch it or eat the fruit from it.The warning from God did not last long. Satan was after Adam and Eve as soon as God told them to stay away from the tree. Satan convinced them to eat the fruit so their eyes would be opened and thus sin was born. God threw Adam and Eve out of the Garden and into the world of sin that the man and woman had created by disobedience.Several hundred years later God saw the wickedness of the Adam and Eve generations. He decided to clear the earth of sinful man. God killed every land born creature with a flood of water that was above the mountain tops. God spared Noah, his wife, their three sons and their wives. Only eight people survived the flood. Those eight people produced today's world population of eight billion.Hundreds of years later, God again looked at the sins of mankind and was disturbed. He looked at two of the worst cities, Sodom and Gomorrah, and decided to destroy four cities in the evil valley. Abraham asked God to spare the cities if he could find ten righteous people within the city of Sodom. Abraham could only find four righteous people, so God destroyed the cities with fire and brimstone.Now, hundreds of years after Sodom and Gomorrah, God is looking at the world today. He is deciding how long He will wait before He sends Christ to rapture the church-age saints and destroy sinful mankind.In the Bible book of Revelation, God explains some of the events that will take place during the Tribulation period of seven years. I have tried to capture the consequences in this book. After these events there will be no reason for God to look from Heaven to earth anymore because Heaven will be on earth.It is all there, right in the Bible.

Shortly after Carlos Hamilton began his medical practice in Houston, he inherited an over-sized piano that had belonged to his great-grandmother. The difficulty in moving the instrument, even in the 20th century, made him wonder how-and why-a family in 1857 would move it from North Carolina to a rural east Texas plantation so that a ten-year-old child could study music. Although Berta Smith Wootters had died many decades before Hamilton was born, her children continued to express great affection and admiration for her. Her husband, John Wootters, had died young, likely from complications of a Civil War wound, yet she persevered, managing her affairs and guiding all her children to university educations and productive lives. Wanting to discover more about the life of this strong woman, Hamilton traveled to Crockett, Texas where he met Edgar Pouncey, a descendant of a family of slaves who had come toTexas with the Smith family. As Pouncey related stories of the Smith family over a hundred years later, he spoke with respect and warmth. According to Pouncey, the Smiths' provisions for their former slaves allowed them to found a church and a school that still played vital roles in the community. The insight gained on this visit set the author on a decades long journey to understand his forbearers and their turbulent and tragic times. A Rose Blooms in Texas is the culmination of his meticulous research on the life of Berta Smith Wootters and the story begins with her as a student at Fairfield Female College. Hamilton presents the narrative as historical fiction and augments it with original letters and documents. What emerges is a compelling picture of life in East Texas during the Civil War and the strength of character of a woman who was able to preserve her family's values of education and enlightened treatment of others-and her beloved piano-for future generations.

Growing up in the Midwest, Lori Harrington's father taught her to enjoy the great outdoors. Walks along the Illinois River and drives in the countryside as well as vacations all across this country, she learned to appreciate the beauty of nature from her dad. At one point in her early adult years, her father told her she needed to go for a hike and get some of God's Green Medicine to clear her mind and refresh her perspective. This term became a running theme in their relationship and they often referenced getting a 'daily dose of God's Green Medicine.'After the passing of Lori's father, she pulled out boxes of letters from him to revisit memories and realized how the relationship she had with her father affected her life. Having tossed the idea around of making their reference of God's Green Medicine into something more tangible, she decided it was time to share it with others.The basis of Green Medicine is God created the earth and nature. We are surrounded by God in His Creation. Through good and bad times, struggles in life and relationships, God is all around us. But this book is also about the impact a parent can have in their child's life. Lori weaves together excerpts from her father's letters with incidents of family and friends and her photography. You are invited to journey through Lori's experiences with life, relationships, and nature and, if you like, journal your own Green Medicine encounters.

Salvation Station was written because of the author's enlightenment to fully comprehend Eternity, Faith, and Salvation through Jesus. This comes with a basic understanding that we are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience.Many people are exactly where Ruben Gonzales was before he accepted his born again gift from our Creator in Heaven. Being born again is not a religion, it is a life changed by God. Many people may not have the opportunity to read the scriptures (like the author did not have until age 47). Therefore, this book is a short cut for the readers so they can tune into Wisdom with less effort and increase their Faith. The book features stories from individuals who had their lives changed considerably because of receiving a real life miracle from God.Salvation Station is his bare bone plea to make sure the readers are ready for eternity. Time is running out as each one of us has an appointed time to meet our Creator. The last days will be like the days of Noah. How many people do you think there were pounding on the side of the Ark when water was already up to their ankles? How many bloodstains were left there on the sides of the boat from the knuckles of those perishing as the Ark began to float?Salvation Station can be an eternal life saver if the reader receives the free gift of salvation coming from our Lifesavior. For others, who are already born again, it will help increase Faith as they make their transition into Heaven.

My hope is that this devotional book would help you to understand that your purpose is far greater than all of your pain. May it inspire you not only to discover your true purpose, but to pursue it with a passion. Each chapter will challenge you to look beyond your natural limitations and see that the horizon is unlimited. But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him." I Corinthians 2:9 NKJV. It is my heartfelt prayer that God would take the ashes from the pain of old and turn them into the finest gold!

The Art of Intimacy is the first part of the painted flawless manual and it provides a basis for understanding the value in our self-image. It helps identify the many layers that form significant parts of our being. It reveals wisdom nuggets from lived experiences and those of biblical heroes that could help us push through wrestling moments and claim our true identity. Ultimately, it enables us to discover or rediscover ourselves through our unique rhythms and deep reflection even when we might have thought ourselves completely unworthy.In the words of Nobel prize winner, Toni Morrison, "your life is already artful - waiting just waiting for you to make it art". Painted flawless helps us realise this and enables us develop a life that is completely ours, empowering and authentic.There is a hidden pandemic of the twisted self-image that is flooding the world and it is so pervasive yet hardly talked about. Yet this is probably the number one pandemic consuming many lives across the globe, people not having a clear understanding of who they are and longing to access the unique design that is their own journey.Many of us are struggling with our self-image, our value, our direction and how to be the one and only version of ourselves that is true. This book uses allegorical representation from simple concepts in art to illuminate the human journey and empower us to manifest who we are meant to be despite the challenges we may face.

Traditional mainline churches have been in decline for fifty years as their church energy continues to seep away. What are the options to regain vitality? Pastor Luecke thought for years that better administration was the answer. But the problem is deeper. Our Reformation heritage left us with a very weak practical theology of the Holy Spirit, confining him mostly to the Creeds. We don't have a hands-on understanding of how he makes a difference in church life today. We can find that by appreciating how central the Spirit was to Paul's leadership. This collection of Reflections comes in two parts. The first highlights how the Spirit works today, based on Paul's insights. It outlines how personal growth in the Spirit can happen. Church leaders cannot take others to where they personally have not been before. The second part is organized around Martin Luther's explanation of the four functions of the Holy Spirit. He calls, gathers, enlightens and sanctifies God's people. The Spirit is the leader of ministry teams. We need to learn how to follow.
