Why not? Everyone else is doing it. Why not offer a Cyber Monday sale even if I have nothing to sell? Before you become annoyed, I am actually offering the deal of a lifetime.
3 freebies.
1.
Do you want to know how to manage depressive thoughts such as self-loathing, hopelessness, fear, and more? A free faith-based book awaits you on this website titled:
How the Difference-Maker Lifts You Above Depressive Thoughts.
You will discover practical exercises and encouraging food for thought to challenge toxic shame, thinking errors, dependency, and more. God is the Difference-Maker and He cares about you.
2.
Do you know that people in the Bible were real like you and me? They had emotions and concerns that often look like what we experience because human nature has not changed. This book (also free) tells 8 short stories from the viewpoint of how persons such as Paul, Miriam, the Samaritan Woman, and more may have felt and thought during key moments in their biblical accounts.
Enjoy! Read the true accounts from the scriptures too, also included in the book.
3.
Christ, or The Christ is Jesus’ title. It means He is the Messiah that Jews have been promised since long ago. Christians recognize the fulfillment of hundreds of prophecies in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, and accept Him as the Messiah, the Savior. Some Jews do too, and they call themselves Messianic Jews.
Someone suggested that Christ is Jesus’ last name. No. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, Messiah, King of all Kings. The Messiah is to rule a kingdom forever that does not allow for any other government to lead Israel or His people. For thousands of years, Jews have hoped He would come like a warrior and conquer physical enemies.
This is the mistake. Jesus did come and He fulfilled all the earthly requirements of the Messiah. His kingdom is a spiritual one. Christians are supposed to be people who are true disciples of Jesus. (Many claim to be Christians and are so only in name). As followers of Jesus as Messiah, Christians await His second coming. This time He will arrive as the warrior and conquer physical and spiritual enemies. He will free all those who put their trust in Him for eternal salvation.
Jews who do not believe Jesus was the Messiah, are welcome to get to know Him. Messianic Pastors will be happy to share the reasons they believe.
To Jews and non-Jews who do not follow Jesus Christ, this is the free deal of a lifetime! Turn to Jesus, ask forgiveness for sins, be forgiven, and know that forgiveness for yourself. It is called God’s grace and mercy.
