A Life of Balance (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Remember learning how to ride a bike? The hardest part was learning how to stay balanced. Once you mastered that, you were ready to go anywhere.

The same is true of life, especially for those of us who sincerely seek to follow Jesus Christ. All truth has two sides, and balanced attention to both sides of the coin is necessary to rightly divide the Word of Truth. Otherwise, our passion for the Lord can quickly turn into fanaticism and our ministry will eventually fade away.

In this short booklet, K.P. Yohannan discusses Biblical balance in 11 key areas of life, such as

*Discipline and Freedom
*Faith and Common Sense
*Love and Doctrine
*Zeal and Wisdom

Learn how to develop the balance which will keep your life and ministry healthy and honoring God. Order your copy today!

Autorenporträt

Dr. K.P. Yohannan (or KP Yohannan) has been crisscrossing the globe for the past 40 years, challenging the Body of Christ to discipleship. His call to a radical lifestylewith an all-out commitment to Jesushas left its impact on nearly every continent. To the Church caught up by the tidal waves of compromise and self-preservation, Yohannan's life message is a fresh word to this generation and yet as timeless as the scriptural mandate itself.

Yohannan is the founder and director of GFA World (formerly Gospel for Asia aka GFA), a Christian mission organization deeply committed to seeing communities transformed through the love of Christ demonstrated in word and deed. He is also the metropolitan bishop of Believers Church , an indigenous church in South Asia.

Born in South India in 1950, Yohannan is the youngest of six sons. His mother dedicated each of her children to the Lord and longed to see one of them commit their lives to ministry. She secretly fasted each Friday for three-and-a-half years, praying, "Oh God, let just one of my boys preach!" Even as she prayed, her children were growing up, seeming destined for secular work. Finally, only the youngest, little "Yohannachan," was left. Seeing how shy and insecure he was, his mother thought there was little chance that he would preach.

However, after Yohannan finished his schooling, he heard stories about North India from a visiting mission team, and his heart was gripped. His mother's faithful prayers were answered as he immediately decided to join the mission movement and go to faraway North India to help bring the Good News to the multitude of villages that had never heard of Christ. While preparing to go with this radical mission team from Europe, the timid 16-year-old was challenged by a call to radical discipleship from missionary statesman George Verwer. That night, Yohannan couldn't sleep. What if God asked him to preach publicly in the streets? What if he was stoned and beaten?

Suddenly, God's presence filled the room, and he knew he was not alone. "Lord God," he prayed in surrender, "I'll give myself to speak for Youbut help me to know that You're with me."

The next morning, he awoke with a supernatural love and burden for the people around him. The Lord gave him courage to speak to the crowds he saw that day, and he continued to preach for the next seven years in North India. As a field evangelist and regional coordinator, he was responsib...
