Sowing Into Good Soil

We are asking for your help with our (Abba's Glory Inc) worldwide outreach and labor toward the accomplishment of our mission and goals.

There is a natural aspect to all that God does on the earth. He is not a counterfeiter, and thus does not rain down money from Heaven, but rather gives His people opportunity to receive an abundant material harvest according to the measure of the material seed they sow into God-appointed/anointed fields (ministries). 
This ministry is good ground in which to plant your seed. Those who do always receive an abundant harvest!

If you would like to help with the operational financial needs of this global ministry which touches 125 nations, please email us at AGI_Equipper@me.com for our mailing address. Abba's Glory Inc is a federally approved 501c-3.

24 Ways to Explain the Gospel

"Why do I need to be saved?" "From what?" 
These are common questions in today's society. Salvation can be a difficult concept to explain to a postmodern thinker. Fortunately, God's Word provides many ways of looking at our situation, and at God's solution. 24 Ways to Explain the Gospelcontains dozens of word pictures and illustrations that will help you communicate the gospel in ways everyone can understand.
14 panels, fits inside most Bibles, 8.5 x 5.5 inches, unfolds to 38 inches long.

The Bible is full of illustrations that use common experiences, such as gardening, having debt, a campfire, or joining a family, to explain what Jesus accomplished on the cross. In 24 Ways to Explain the Gospel, you will see 24 metaphors from the Bible, positive and negative examples, and several illustrations that show how the positive/negative examples can be explained. (A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase compares or describes something. For example: “A mighty fortress is our God” - “mighty fortress” is a metaphor to help to describe God.) 

Below is an example from 24 Ways to Explain the Gospel:

• Metaphor: Light - Jesus is the light that shines on our path toward God (John 12:46)
• Positive examples: Light - Jesus is the light of the world (John 8:12)
  • Jesus' light shines in our heart (2 Cor. 4:4-6)
  • Children of the light (Eph. 5:8)
  • Jesus has rescued us from darkness (Col. 1:13)
  • Putting aside the deeds of darkness (Romans 13:12)
• Negative examples: Dark - People living in darkness have seen a great light (Matt. 4:16)
  • People loved darkness (John 3:19)
• Illustrations - A campfire in the wilderness provides light, warmth, safety and sustenance.
  • The light helps campers to find their way back to camp. It provides warmth for the night. It keeps the animals away. It cooks food and purifies water.
  • In a similar way, Jesus provides us with a guiding light, warmth, safety, and sustenance for our journey of life.

Discussion questions for 24 Ways to Explain the Gospel
For a group study, volunteers might take turns reading a paragraph. 

1. Read panels 1-4. Which of these ways of explaining the Gospel helps you personally see the good news differently? Was there one that stood out? If so, why?
2. Read panels 5-6, paying attention to the word "redemption" and what it meant in the biblical world. Which metaphor of redemption connected with you the most? Why?
3. Read panel 7. Imagine yourself explaining the Gospel to someone using one of these plans. Which one fits your style the most? Which one fits your friend? What would you do differently?
4. Read panels 8-10, and discuss the idea of citizenship. How does the concept of being a citizen of the kingdom of heaven appeal to people today? Which metaphor in this section connects with you and why?
5. Read panels 11-13, and spend some time on the biblical definition of the word "sin." What aspects of sin and redemption were new to you? How does the Gospel help us heal our relationship with God and with the people around us?

God's Sovereignty

When you read through the Bible, you can see that God hates suffering. Jesus spent much of his life relieving people's illnesses and hurts. He calls us to do the same: to feed the hungry, clothe the poor, take care of widows and orphans and visit those in prison. So why doesn't our all-powerful God get rid of suffering?

Why Does God Let Good People Suffer? by Joni Eareckson Tada answers the big questions about suffering:

• How can a gracious and loving God allow anyone to suffer?
• Why do "good" people have to suffer? Don't they deserve better?
• What possible good can come through suffering?

Popular author and speaker Joni Eareckson Tada helps you understand why God allows suffering and what we can learn from it in this glossy, full-color, 14-page pamphlet.

"When Joni Eareckson Tada writes about hardship, it's real. When she says good can come from suffering, I wanted to know how....I wanted to gain a deeper understanding of the adverse circumstance I'm in. I was surprised that such a small pamphlet could offer such a large portion of hope and courage."
Carol Witte

"I love how the pamphlets get to the point, saying exactly what I needed to hear in an easy-to-understand way. Plus, they are light weight and can fit in my purse, making them easy to take to the doctors' office or to my chemo appointments. If you know someone fighting a terminal illness or even their family members who need encouragement as well, I highly recommend you check out these pamphlets."
Cindy Curran

"The new pamphlets from Rose Publishing by Joni Eareckson Tada are a treasure for both Pastors and Chaplains. Joni has the ability to answer so many hard asked questions by her experience. Her love of God and her knowledge of His Word linked with her genuine empathy for people that are suffering and questioning God is uncanny."
Dr. Skip Lewis, Director of Chaplaincy, Heart of Florida

"Joni is at once a student and a teacher. She searches for answers, and then ably guides those who are seeking to understand some of the same difficult questions she has asked about suffering, anger, God’s sovereignty and prayer. She is candid about her personal struggles, but addresses each of them by providing biblical illustrations of how God is always present and in control. Through her practical counsel, Joni empowers anyone who has endured painful experiences in life to trust and turn toward God."
Jean Driscoll, Assistant Dean for Advancement, University of IL, College of Applied Health Sciences

During her career, Jean was the first eight time winner of the Boston Marathon.

How does the Holy Spirit work in the lives of Christians? The answers are found in this bestselling pamphlet, The Fruit of the Spirit. 
Based on Galatians 5: 22 & 23, this informative pamphlet helps Christians understand nine fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. 
These traits can only be developed with the help of the Holy Spirit. The Fruit of the Spirit is an excellent tool for teaching, for devotions, or for reference.
12 panels, fits inside most Bibles, 8.5 x 5.5 inches, unfolds to 33 inches long 
Scripture in both the Old and New Testaments refers to bearing fruit. For believers today, the fruit of the Spirit represents the outward or visible growth believers experience in Christ through the Holy Spirit. That's why this teaching is so important. The Fruit of the Spirit pamphlet is an excellent tool for teaching students of all ages how the Spirit works in and through believers to achieve true change in behaviors and actions. It also makes an outstanding devotional or reference guide.

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." Galatians 5:22, 23

The Fruit of the Spirit is an excellent study for believers at any level of spiritual growth or maturity. Believers will spend a lifetime seeking the manifestation of the fruits in their lives. The Fruit of the Spirit pamphlet provides insight to how the fruit of the Spirit was evident in the life of Jesus as well as what the fruit truly looks like in the lives of believers. Here is an example - One of the fruits of the Spirit is love. The Fruit of the Spirit defines love as: Love is not based on emotions or feelings. It is a decision to be committed to the well being of others without any conditions or circumstances.

The Fruit of the Spirit reveals:

• A definition for each fruit of the Spirit
• How each fruit was exemplified in Jesus' life
• Scripture references that show the fruit manifested in someone's life
• The Greek Word for each of the fruits of the Spirit, including these two
