HUNGERING FOR GOD by Andy Ripley

HUNGERING FOR GOD by Andy Ripley

To have a greater hunger for God ought to be our biggest desire. To love His word more than our necessary food, to long for Him as the deer pants for water – this is who we want to be. This book contains eight sermons preached over several years of searching for ways to increase our hunger for the Lord. Our goal is to become people of one desire, like David in Psalm 27:4 – available for the reduced pre order price of $2.99.

The Sola 12

Leave a Comment

About The Sola 12

I was introduced to the Solas of reformation and the five Solas that stood as the fundamentals of reformation. I agree with all 5 of them, yet it seems to lack and fall short of others which could not be ignored.

Soli Deo Gloria – To God only the Glory, Solus Christos – Only through Jesus Christ, Sola Scriptura – Only the Word of God is the authority, Sola Fida – Only by Faith will we be saved, Sola Gratia – Only by Grace do I have a chance.

I have asked the question and then was showed away as not to rock the boat. My question seemed fair.

“Should we not include the Holy Spirit into the solas?” “What about Solus Precatios(only through prayer) “nI have then started to make a list of things we missed. I started with the Holy Sprirt, and worked my way down to love. and then I had 13. the number did not work for me, and I asked the Lord if I should continue or not. He gave me the answer a few days later. the Holy Spirit and water Baptism stands alone, yet they must be combined into one and bring a new sola which is

“Nisi Denuo Natus – Only by being born again (Baptism in the Spirit and water) will I be able to enter the Kingdom of heaven.”

Solus Spiritus Sancti and Solus Baptismus forms a new Sola called – Nisi Denuo Natus.

We need these 12 Solas to build a reformed foundation in our Churches. This is not something I slapped together over a couple of days. I started writing this book in 2018. Covid- 19 and the pandemic caused a pause in the writing of this book, and in the passed month the Lord started nudging me towards finishing this book.
This book has two purposes.
Firstly for us as christians and others which is non-christians to realise the truths and foundation blocks the Bible stands on. We need to get our lives in order, because there is a heaven and there is a hell. There is no third option, and being ignorant is also not an option.
Secondly this book is written for churches to start building their foundation blocks of the evangelical message around these. For example, there is churches that doesn’t seem to find prayer important. After reading this book, they will realise what the Scripture says about prayer and how important it is. Other churches might not need the Holy Spirit, they will quickly find out, that there is no evangelism department without the Holy Spirit. This is why this book is so important for churches and church leaders, as they will need a defined guide to help them. As a public speaker, I have no intention speaking on secular subjects anymore. I wil spend the rest of my days helping people get to God, and be saved. Secondly I will assist and help any church understand the foundations of these solas to be a Scripture fundamental driven church with purpose and energy.

The Artist’s Page

About The Artist’s Page

‘The Artist’s Page’ is a poetic short story, urging a search for the Designer of life’s most valuable piece of art. It tells of an Artist who has just completed a ‘work of love’ – a gift for any of the takers.
What would your response be to a group of small people, overlooking you, to look at the masterpiece you’d lovingly made for them?
How would you feel by their admiration for your magnificent creation, as they ignore your wonderfully creative hands? Would you feel sad? Frustrated? Angry?
Imagine your relief when they leave your invisible side. Picture your joy and your gratitude with their replacement– an appreciative group marvelling at your masterpiece, undoubtedly produced by your love. Would you feel glad, grateful, relieved, believed, like the Artist in this story felt?
Just as the Artist in this story, God rejoices when we recognise His face.
The Author’s job as the story teller, is to persuade her audience to seek that evidence for The Artist.
This story invites the reader to consider the theist, atheist, and agnostic perspective.

Ride For Love

About Ride For Love

Zaria Washington had her whole life ahead of her. All she wanted to do was graduate and go to college so she could finally get the hell out of her mama’s house.

Just when she thought she was down to nothing, an unfortunate discovery sends her life into an unexpected tailspin.

At twenty years old, Alvin “Ace” Ford had done well for himself. As Bernard “Bishop” Newman’s protégé, he was in the perfect position to take over the south side after Bishop retired in a few short years. Ace had been loyal to Bishop for the five years since he had taken him under his wing. Ace would give his life for him. Now in a desperate attempt to save his own life, Ace has to go on the run.

Ace and Zaria had never even been in the same circle. Zaria had never even looked in his direction—that was until she walked in right after he killed one of Bishop’s gunmen. Zaria was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. In her new environment, Zaria becomes everything she needs to be to survive.

The Conclusion Bible

About The Conclusion Bible

Do YOU want a contextual understanding of God’s word?

Say no more because this is why The Conclusion Bible exists. This Bible helps its reader to understand the message of the Bible contextually with no sophisticated method. It is an excellent resource for personal study, Sunday school, and small group teachings.

Using The Conclusion Bible for your everyday Bible study will help you see and understand the Biblical Author’s mind. This is like using the Author’s own mind to understand the message presented. The truth is, if you understand the conclusion of a writer, chances are, you will interpret the details therein contextually. For the contextual understanding of every text is revealed in its conclusion.

There are at least three things you will get from The Conclusion Bible.

YOU will understand:

1. What the Biblical Authors want you to see

2. What the Biblical Characters want you to understand

3. And what the Holy Spirit is saying through these two (The Biblical Author and the Biblical Character.)

And as a result, YOU will be able to:

1. Handle the sacred text with carefulness and accurateness

2. Rightly divide the Word of truth

3. Have the insight in to the mind of the Biblical Author/Character

4. See and know the Biblical text as the Biblical Author and the Spirit at work in them when they wrote the Bible books want you to know

5. Have the certainty of the message you are presenting

Features include:

1. Complete text of the accurate, readable, and clear King James Version (KJV)

2. Emphasis on all the concluding verses in the Bible

3. Differentiate between a Character’s conclusion and a Writer’s conclusion on every given thought in the Bible

4. Words of Christ in red

5. Easy navigation (Clickable TOC and hyperlinks for every chapter of the Bible)

6. Beautiful formatting (Proper verse spacing, chapter headings, and margins are all set to be easy on the eyes.)

7. Always know where you are in the Bible (Because every verse is labeled, you always know at a glance where you are. No more paging endlessly to find a chapter heading to get your bearings.)

It is healthier to analyze Biblical texts this way (using the conclusion to contextualize the details), that way, we would be free from the error of taking the author’s intended message out of context. Therefore, as you read/study your Bible, please note the details and do not forget the conclusion. “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.” Rom 15:4

The Worst Day Of The Week

About The Worst Day Of The Week

One of the most frequently asked questions that people ask me today is, “How can you, as one who is not directly affected by disability, be so passionate about those who are?” My response is simple: “Jesus was neither mentally nor physically disabled. Yet the Gospels declare that he demonstrated compassion upon people who were disabled. Jesus did not ignore them; he acknowledged their presence. And he took time to heal them so that the glory of God could be seen in the miracle.”I wrote this book to inform the Christian church that, as followers of Christ, we are called to extend his authentic love to all of humanity so that glory of God can be revealed through us. Every Sunday morning, people who are disabled wonder whether or not it is worth the effort for them to attend church and suffer exclusion and shame. This book provides Christians with a better understanding of how to welcome, include, embrace, and value those who are disabled—those who possess the audacity to be in our midst.

In God We Trust; The Dollar We Worship by Donald Galade

In God We Trust; The Dollar We Worship by Donald Galade

The purpose of this book is to show the will of the Lord to unlock the blessings in our lives, as long as we do our part with what we are given by God. We learn in the Word that much is required of us in order to be in covenant blessings and abundance with God. It is our focus to assist those that do not know or are confused about what Jesus did for us on Calvary with the truth. We have a lot to do with how much and when we receive from the Father. I will, however, touch on some topics that others addressed, with a slightly different slant. May you be blessed as you read this, and may the power of the Holy Spirit open your ears and remove the scales from your eyes as it permeates and transforms you, in Jesus name. When I realized there was more to life than making a buck, the Lord showed me I could not only provide for my family, but also sow into His Kingdom, and sow into his people as well. He showed me how to lead with the Word in everything I did. What makes this book truly a work from the Lord is that I did not grow up reading the Bible. Truth be told, I didn’t even own one until 2001. Coming from a “religious” background, I had the same thought process as most Christians do today. Just be a “good person” and go to church, and maybe you‘ll make it to Heaven! Although I believed in God and knew who Jesus was, and what He did for us on the cross, I thought that was all I needed to know. The Lord would soon show me differently. He showed me many things about the Word and about religion. I soon found out that there was a difference. In many churches money is a very emotional subject when discussed from the pulpit. In case the title had not given it away, this book is going to discuss these topics in great detail, all of which will be supported by the Bible. Some who read this may be blessed, others may find the information contained herein in contempt. Please take each scripture and concept and search it for yourself. Study the context used in this book. Do not take my word for it, ask the Lord to prove my words true. If you ask God for guidance with regard to His Word, it will never come back void! This book is designed to be an educational tool based on Biblical and financial principles as it relates to economics in our world.

The Thief Revealed by Kevin Waldeman

About The Thief Revealed by Kevin Waldeman

This box set of five books by Kevin Waldeman begins by explaining the deep symbolic language of the Bible.
From there it progresses to reveal some great mysteries from the scriptures.
But the central theme of these books is actually prophetic.
Jesus prophesied that the end of days would be similar to the days of Noah, and also Sodom and Gomorrah.
In the case of Noah, he was instructed to build the ark, while Lot and his family were told not to look back.
Just as it was then, the Lord has provided us with instructions to survive the coming disasters.
The final book culminates with a clear description of how the current world will end. It also provides much in depth information too amazing to reveal here.

Doubt On Trial: An Agnostic Minister’s Case For Questioning The Bible by Rusty Williams

About Doubt On Trial: An Agnostic Minister’s Case For Questioning The Bible by Rusty Williams

Have you ever questioned, or doubted, what you’ve read in the Bible?
Start off your summer reading with a Best-Seller! Doubt On Trial, an Amazon #1 New Release and now a Best-Seller, discusses topics that are taught in seminaries around the world, but rarely mentioned in church.

“…a compelling and absolute must-read book that will challenge
your way of thinking about what you believe.”

Doubt On Trial sheds light on the dangers of taking the Bible literally.
Most, if not all, people were taught to read the Bible with an apologetic understanding and from a devotional point of view. But, when the New Testament is read from a historical perspective and with a critical eye, Jesus’ teachings and ministry are experienced in a whole new way.

“… an intelligent, open-minded, and creatively written analysis of Christianity,
the Bible, and the future of both amongst coming generations.”

The Church is on the decline.
Doubt On Trial will make you consider things you haven’t been made aware of; discrepancies, contradictions, and problematic passages are right there in the open. But instead of forcing you to sit through another boring lecture where facts are thrown at you, author Rusty Williams presents a hypothetical trial where Doubt is on trial for causing the decades-long decline of the Church.

“… Williams carefully reviews the major religious issues thinking
people grapple with in the twenty-first century.”

Welcome to the trial of Doubt.
This book is a transcript of Doubt’s testimony and you, the reader, are asked to be the jury. You’ll hear for yourself why Doubt believes the Church needs to look at its practices and teachings or risk becoming an irrelevant institution… which is the last thing Doubt wants.

“…a lot of Christians are internally in the same place as Rusty,
but haven’t given themselves permission to admit it.”

Is Doubt to blame for the Church’s decline?
What will your verdict be when you finish the last page? Will you acquit Doubt or will you find Doubt guilty? Will you allow yourself to experience a new understanding of Holy Scripture? There’s only one way to find out.

Shadows and Mysteries by Kevin Waldeman

About Shadows and Mysteries by Kevin Waldeman

Ever wondered why Satan deceived Eve instead of Adam in the garden of Eden?
This book uncovers a great mystery of the ages concerning women.
Read on to discover how Satan bound himself to a destiny he couldn’t escape.
Learn the truth of why a woman sits atop the seven headed beast of Revelation, and why the eighth evil beast kingdom of Revelation is not ridden by a woman at all.
But on the more practical side, what about jury duty? The Bible tells us we shouldn’t sware by anything, let alone on a Bible or Almighty God himself. Yet that’s is what you can expect if called for jury duty. Jesus also told us not to pass judgment on others, but the justice system demands that we do. Doing a web search is unlikely to help because most Christians have confused ideas on the subject. But the truth of scripture gives us a clear escape from this moral dilemma, and it’s not what many have been led to believe.
Other great subjects include a special message for the Church of our time. How the thief in the night, and the goodman of the house affects all of us. It is perhaps the most important message since the Gospel itself.
The tree of life, forgiveness, and suicide, are just some of the other insights to be covered.

Wisdom Shines by Kevin Waldeman

About Wisdom Shines by Kevin Waldeman

Newly inspired mysteries of God explain a wide variety of subjects, and with much scriptural support to back up the claims, the future is laid bare before us. Solid facts and diagrams clearly describe exactly how this present world will soon come to an end. With much of the Church having been misled by false doctrines, many are about to stumble unprepared into the dark days ahead. This book is for everyone who wants to hear more than just vague unsubstantiated theories based upon human wisdom. The subjects covered also include blood moons, asleep in Christ, and near death experiences, the 144,000 and 200 million of Revelation, and other fascinating signs in the heavens bearing witness to the predictions of Christ. There’s also more about the antichrist, hell, and real warnings from God instructing us how to behave in the years ahead.

YESHUA IS HIS NAME: THE NAME OF THE SAVIOR IS GIVEN ONLY BY GOD

About YESHUA IS HIS NAME: THE NAME OF THE SAVIOR IS GIVEN ONLY BY GOD

The work Yeshua is His Name offers a theological exposition to the loss of the name of the “Savior” in translation down through the ages. The narrative searches the contours of recorded history, contextualized in Scriptures, shedding light on how the correspondence of the Savior’s immutable name undermines the sanctity of our faith. The book challenges the age-old orthodoxies of biblical language adaptation and creates a spiritually healthy space for understanding the implication of calling Him by a name given by man and not God. What the book does not endorse is the denial of the wisdom of Christian sages. It also does not demand condemnation of the English name Jesus. However, the book presents an opportunity for dialog and a sense of re-discovery and renaissance about the immutable name of the son of God bestowed only by the Father, Adonai. Recorded history suggests the earliest lost gospel writings about the Savior (original Hebrew Papyri scrolls) hold the key to any clear understanding of what name the Savior was called by his Jewish community, and the disciples. While we may never know with absolute certainty what specific Hebrew/Aramaic name He was called, we know without a doubt that canonized scripture shows He was called Yeshua. It is the mission of this book to show the proof and the facts as they are. Variations of discovered parchment scrolls (1947-56, i.e. deuterocanonical texts, Jewish-Christian gospels) present theo-historic narratives, as does the present-day Bibles that leave significant trails, precedents, and prophetic declarations of the name given by God to His begotten son. Other writings external to scripture also show how the name was lost in translation.
