In God Project

The Passionate Participation In God Project

Participating in this Project will make your personal transformation into the likeness of Jesus the Messiah a practical and realistic option for your daily life.

This transformational process which we all long for but seem never to find a simple and practical plan to follow up on in our own lives is available "inch by precious inch" if we will seek it in small bites on a daily basis.

One of the key aspects of Spiritual growth is the daily practice of biblical spiritual disciplines, without which we live soulish lives ungrounded in God's Word, and subject to the winds of doctrine which men proclaim as new or deep, but which lack the stability found in a firm relationship with God through His written and living Word. This daily devotional adventure will advance us in our growth.

In The Life with God Bible some of the most notable figures in Christian discipleship offer their insights to help

This is the resource for connecting Scripture and daily discipleship

2. Life With God:

Reading the Bible for Spiritual Transformation.

Too often, our study of the Bible focuses on searching for specific information or some formula that will solve our pressing needs of the moment. But what if we approached the Bible differently, and instead of transforming the text to meet our needs, allowed it to transform us?

Introduction 01/11/2010

Introduction to our Journey: The Bible and the With-God life.

As you read this introductory part of the devotional please take note of these items
1. In the Catching the Vision section:
    A. The definition of Immanuel and how the Bible show that God is with us as individuals.
    B. "Because of this truth our primary task is to learn to see and understand the reality of the With-God Life, to enter the process of the transformation of our whole person and of our whole life into Christ likeness."
2. Opening Ourselves to the Life
    A. If we want to receive from the Bible the life with God that is portrayed in the Bible, we must be prepared to have our dearest and most fundamental assumptions about ourselves and our associations called into question.
    B. We must read humbly and in a constant attitude of repentance.
Only in this way can we gain a thorough and practical grasp of the spiritual riches that God has made available to all humanity in His written Word.
