Alcohol Explained 2

William Porter combines a balanced and insightful look at end times events with a practical guide on how the certainty of Jesus' return should impact the way Christians live now. Talking about the end times can often seem confusing with so many different interpretations held by Christians. William Porter deftly examines the issues and events to provide a measured and biblical middle way through the subject. One thing is clear- Jesus is coming back as a conquering king. Porter believes that this might be much nearer than we think and asks the big question: How would we live our lives if we really believed that Jesus was coming soon? Porter invites us to be 'forerunners' preparing the world for Jesus' return by declaring to modern society that Jesus is coming again. Questions are included throughout the book to help think through how that practically impacts our lives and our evangelism. The Forerunner Cry enables readers to understand the biblical teachings on the end times, live a godly life, and be confident to pass on the message of the imminent return of Jesus.

O Henry

The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry. "The Gift of the Magi" is a short story, written by O. Henry (a pen name for William Sydney Porter), about a young husband and wife and how they deal with the challenge of buying secret Christmas gifts for each other with very little money. As a sentimental story with a moral lesson about gift-giving, it has been a popular one for adaptation, especially for presentation at Christmas time. The plot and its twist ending are well-known, and the ending is generally considered an example of comic irony. It was allegedly written at Pete's Tavern on Irving Place in New York City. The story ends with the narrator comparing the pair's mutually sacrificial gifts of love with those of the Biblical Magi.

L'Alcool Expliqué

We know that God works in mysterious ways, yet the mysteries of God can leave us with lifelong questions about his nature and character. Thankfully, God has provided us with a way to understand him and ourselves betterand that is by focusing on him and on his Word. In More God-centric and Less Situation-centric Living, author William Bill Porter encourages us to shift the focus of our lives and our thoughts back to God and away from ourselves. By creating a theology of the inherent goodness of God, Porter shows how a God-centric life is a life of almost total submission to Gods sovereignty, and that many churches today do not teach the truth that God is about more than solving personal problems. More God-centric living enables you to acknowledge, accept, and use all the fruits of the Spirit and then walk with contentment into the gardens of both the bouquets and weeds of life, as the apostle Paul encouraged us in Philippians 4:12. You will acknowledge and walk in the realization that the gospel is not just the good news of Godbut that God is the good news! That God rules! That God is sovereign! And that God is central!
