There is a simple answer to finding God's unique will for your life.
When you obey the universal will of God, your obedience triggers your experience of the unique will of God for your life. Of course, that raises the question, "What is the universal will of God?"
God has revealed 4 specific universal commands, or wills, and this audiobook is about each. Though there is more to God's universal will than these four, it is as though God declares, "Start Here!"What are these four? Bestselling author Dr. Emerson Eggerichs (Love & Respect) teaches listeners that when you do these four universal wills, your obedience triggers your experience of God's unique will from John 6:40, 1 Thessalonians 5:18, 1 Peter 2:13-15, and 1 Thessalonians 4:3:
Believe in Jesus Christ
Give Thanks in Everything
Submit in Doing Right
Abstain from Sexual Sin
You need not fret and worry that you are missing His will. You are doing His universal will and pleasing Him. As long as you are believing in Jesus Christ, giving thanks in everything, submitting in doing right, and abstaining from sexual sin, you are free to do as you wish based on your judgment about what seems good and best.
Cada día tenemos el potencial de cometer errores al hablar y al escribir. Este libro trata de evitar los malos entendidos y facilitar compresión en la comunicación. Este libro trata acerca de cuatro cosas que debemos considerar antes de comunicar.
¿Cuándo aprenderemos? A diario encontramos nuevos casos en los que las personas actuan antes de pensar solo para luego arrepentirse. Las redes sociales lo dicen: ¡se trata de socializar! Los métodos de comunicación actuales permiten la transmisión potencial de cualquier cosa desde Pekin, Illinois a Pekín, China. Pero no sólo los fanáticos de Twitter pueden tener este problema. Cada uno de nosotros es capaz de caer presa de esta creciente plaga.
Tenemos el potencial de cometer errores al hablar y al escribir. Es el mismo caso si hablamos con un extraño en la carnicería, o por teléfono con nuestra madre, o si enviamos un correo electrónico a un colega; podemos tener y en efecto tenemos problemas de comunicación y las personas podrían percibir una idea errónea. Cuando no pausamos lo suficiente para pensar antes de hablar o escribir, a menudo se produce un malentendido y causa una discusión. Terminamos siendo la persona que dice, «¿Conoce esa parte del cerebro que nos impide decir algo que no debemos? Bien, yo no la tengo».
Este libro trata de evitar los malos entendidos y facilitar la compresión en la comunicación. Dicho de otra manera, trata de anticiparse a que las personas reciban la idea equivocada y les permita obtener la idea correcta!
Todos necesitamos trabajar en esta área de forma más intencional. Partiendo de ejemplos externos a conflictos internos, este libro trata las cuatro cosas que debemos pensar antes de comunicar. Es sabio hacernos las siguiente preguntas antes de decir o escribir:
• ¿Es verdad?
• ¿Es cordial?
• ¿Es necesario?
• ¿Es claro?
Cuando respondemos honestamente a estas cuatro preguntas, pensamos sabiamente antes de hablar. Pero para una exploración más profunda, necesitamos conocer más acerca de nosotros mismos y descubrir por qué consciente y subconscientemente caemos en estos problemas de comunicación en un inicio. Puede que nos soprenda lo que descubramos sobre nosotros mismos. ¿Comenzamos?
When will we learn?
With every sunrise we are given plenty of new examples of people "Hitting Send" and soon regretting it. Social media means what it says: it is social! Our methods of communication today allow for something to potentially be broadcast to everyone from Pekin, Illinois to Peking, China. But it's not only Twitter fanatics who can find themselves in trouble. Every single one of us is capable of falling prey to this growing plague.
Every day we have the potential of both verbal and written blunders. It makes no difference if we are talking to a stranger over a meat counter, chatting on a cell phone with our mother, or sending an e-mail to a coworker; we can and do miscommunicate and people can and do get the wrong idea. When we don't pause long enough to think before speaking or writing, it commonly yields a misunderstanding and leads to a clash. We end up being the person who said, "You know that sphere of the brain that stops you from saying something that you shouldn't? Well, I don't have one of those."
This book is about preventing that misunderstanding and allowing for understanding. Said another way, preempting people from getting the wrong idea and enabling them to get the right idea! We all need work in this area in far more ways than just glancing through a checklist.
From external examples to internal turmoil, Before You Hit Send is about the four things we must think through before communicating. In all things we wish to say or write, we would be wise to ask ourselves,
Is it true?
Is it kind?
Is it necessary?
Is it clear?
When we ask and answer these four questions honestly, we will be thinking wisely before we speak. But to explore this fully, we need to find out a whole lot more about ourselves and uncover why we consciously and subconsciously get into these communication disasters to begin with. You may be surprised what you discover about yourself. Shall we begin?
Descubra el más grande secreto para un matrimonio exitoso.
¿Qué quiere usted para su matrimonio? ¿Quiere tener paz? ¿Quiere sentir intimidad? ¿Quiere sentirse valorado? Entonces, pruebe un poco de Amor y respeto.
From the New York Times best-selling author of Love & Respect comes the definitive book for mothers and sons.
Love is important but it is respect that is the key to your son's heart.
As Emerson Eggerichs transformed millions of marital relationships with a biblical understanding of love and respect, he now turns these principles to one of the most important relationships of all, a mother and her son.
The idea of moms respecting their sons may sound alien to some, but it seems to ignite curiosity across the board. It is easy to relate to the need for all of us to feel a mother's love, but is that the same thing as respect? Even for young boys, the effect of respect is nothing short of astounding when applied properly.
Moms yearn to learn anything that better helps them with their sons. After all, they love their boys, but many find them more difficult to parent than their girls, especially from age four and up.
What makes this all the more urgent is that moms are coaching fathers to love their daughters, but no one has said boo to moms on specific ways to show respect to their sons, at least not in a way that is applicable and fully explained. All realize that little girls need daddy's love, but who is strongly promoting the truth that little boys (and big ones) need Mom's respect? No wonder mothers feel left in the dark on this topic.
A Marriage Book with a Difference!
A Revolutionary Message
"I've been married 35 years and have not heard this taught."
"This is the key that I have been missing."
"You connected all the dots for me."
"As a counselor, I have never been so excited about any material."
"You're on to something huge here."
A Simple Message
A wife has one driving need?to feel loved. When that need is met, she is happy. A husband has one driving need?to feel respected. When that need is met, he is happy. When either of these needs isn't met, things get crazy. Love and Respect reveals why spouses react negatively to each other, and how they can deal with such conflict quickly, easily, and biblically.
A Message That Works
Based on over three decades of counseling, as well as scientific and biblical research, Dr. Emerson Eggerichs and his wife, Sarah, have already taken the Love and Respect message across America and are changing the way couples talk to, think about, and treat each other. What do you want for your marriage? Want some peace? Want to feel close? Want to feel valued? Want to experience marriage the way God intended? Then why not try some Love and Respect.
Children need love. Parents need respect.
It is as simple and complex as that!
When frustrated with an unresponsive child, a parent doesn’t declare, “You don’t love me.” Instead the parent asserts, “You are being disrespectful right now.” A parent needs to feel respected, especially during conflicts. When upset a child does not whine, “You don’t respect me.” Instead, a child pouts, “You don’t love me.” A child needs to feel loved, especially during disputes.
But here’s the rub: An unloved child (or teen) negatively reacts in a way that feels disrespectful to a parent. A disrespected parent negatively reacts in a way that feels unloving to the child. This dynamic gives birth to the FAMILY CRAZY CYCLE.
So how is one to break out of this cycle? Best-selling author Emerson Eggerichs has studied the family dynamic for more than 30 years, having his Ph.D. in Child and Family Ecology. As a senior pastor for nearly two decades, Eggerichs builds on a foundation of strong biblical principles, walking the reader through an entirely new way to approach the family dynamic. For instance, God reveals ways to defuse the craziness with our children from preschooler to teen, plus how to motivate them to obey and how to deal with them when they don’t. In the Bible, God has spoken specifically to parents on how to parent. This book is about that revelation.
To build this couples devotional, Eggerichs has taken the top concerns that surfaced in a survey of thousands of couples and has developed 52 devotionals around the three cycles that are at the heart of Love and Respect. With this wealth of new material and video devotionals available online to support the product, The Love and Respect Experience will be indispensable to anyone wishing to better their marital relationship.
A Revolutionary Solution to the #1 Marriage Problem
Why does communication between couples remain the number one marriage issue? “Because,” says Dr. Emerson Eggerichs, “most spouses don’t know that they speak two different languages. They are sending each other messages in ‘code,’ but they won’t crack that code until they see that she listens to hear the language of love and he listens to hear the language of respect.”
Dr. Eggerichs’ best-selling book, Love & Respect, launched a revolution in how couples relate to each other. In The Language of Love & Respect, he presents a practical, step-by-step approach for how husbands and wives can learn to speak each other’s distinctly different language—respect for him, love for her. The result is mutual understanding and a successful, happy marriage.
