"D I S C I P L I N E . Maybe discipline seems like a hard word to you--implying nothing but challenge and duty.

Combining biblical teaching, poignant stories, and insightful reflection questions, Barbara Hughes explores 15 vital disciplines in this classic book--helping u ..."
"[CDATA]Every year thousands of God's servants leave the ministry convinced they are failures. Years ago, in the midst of a crisis of faith, Kent Hughes almost became one of them. But instead he and his wife Barbara turned to God's Word, determined to learn what God had to say about success and to evaluate their ministry from a biblical point of view.

"Discipline seems like a hard word, but discipline is your lifeline, something that you learn to embrace and thank God for as you grow in him. The apostle Paul links the idea of discipline with spiritual life: "Train yourself for godliness"--referring to a spiritual workout--for "godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come" (1 Timothy 4:7-8). A Christian woman's life is about ..."

"Discipline. For many of us, the word alone evokes dread. It’s not that we don’t want to be disciplined physically, mentally, and spiritually. The challenge seems too hard, and the motivation more about duty than desire. When it comes to our Christian walk, we don’t want to be legalistic and just follow some set of rules. That’s not what it’s all about, right? Barbara Hughes answers with this encouraging reality: The true heart of spir ..."

Based on their experiences, Liberating Ministry from the Success Syndrome is for anyone in ministry facing the ..."
"The wife of a minister is made of the same stuff as any other woman, but her circumstances set her apart. If you’ve married into the ministry, you know the difficulty of balancing the demands of your church and your family, the stresses of clergy marriage, the pressure of unrealistic expectations, and the setbacks of ministry---and the joys. Other than Jesus himself, only a ministry wife really understands what it’s like to be a ministr ..."

tagalong. Peter's brother.” Andrew wrote no epistles, no miracles are recorded of
him, and he was not an eloquent preacher like his brother. Ordinary Andrew was
rarely, if at all, in the foreground, and definitely not regarded as a leader!
Nevertheless, he was so mightily used by God that today his name has first place
in evangelism and missions. Years a ..."
