Wise singles will shine and lead many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever (Daniel 12:3). God loves each single adult, seeing them as precious, worthy, and complete in Christ. He always has their best interests in mind and holds their earthly and heavenly security within his hands. All single adults, including those never married, divorced, and widowed, will reap satisfaction in life when they unleash their dunamis as God intends, such as when they trust in God, the Lord becomes their everlasting strength (Isaiah 26:4). The blessed assurance of eternally good life is theirs to embrace. God is faithful and true (Revelation 19:11). Nowhere in life is there anything that reaches higher and achieves more than the love and wisdom of Christ. As church leaders reach their potential for God, they can transfer their knowledge and experience to singles so that they can attain the life they were made to live. It will be a privilege and an honor to provide what singles need for unleashing their dunamis. May God bless the church and all wise singles.

A spiritual warfare novel set in Portland, Oregon. The central character, Dawn, grows from ineffective faith to having the faith to fight an ancient cult who kidnapped her kids.

As born again believers, we should see the manifestation of "greater works" in our lives and working through our lives. We are the image of Christ and His work should be made evident in us. This book will help you increase in your life spiritually as well as your natural life. 3John 1-2 "Beloved, I wish above all things that you mayest prosper and be in health, even as your soul prosper."

Jesus promised His disciples that they would receive power (dunamis) after the Holy Spirit had come upon them. On the day of Pentecost the Spirit came, and ever since, believers have been filled with His power. It's just that many of them don't know it, so they don't utilize it. In this book we look at what the Bible says about dunamis (the Greek word for power, found in the New Testament 120 times!) and the impact it can make upon your life. You'll be surprised to see how many familiar passages use this word. As you see for yourself what God tells you about this mighty power in you, a new faith and vigor will rise up inside. May the readings in this book be anointed to take you to your next level of spiritual victory!

Explores Aristotle's concept of nature and its role in scientific explanation.

Around 200 AD, the greatest defender and interpreter of Aristotle within his school, Alexander of Aphrodisias, composed his own book On the Soul, partly following the pattern of Aristotle's. In the first half, translated in this volume, he discusses the soul as the form of the body, and the idea of parts or powers that constitute the soul of living things, including the two lowest powers: nutrition and perception. In the second half, translated in Part II, he discusses perception, representation, desire, understanding and - a notion emphasised by the Stoics - the governing part of the soul. He takes the soul to consist of these powers, which supervene on the mixture of the body's elemental ingredients, just as inanimate powers like buoyancy or lightness can supervene on other qualities. They are new, emergent causal powers of the living thing, which do not belong to the constituent ingredients of the body in themselves. Through his notion of emergence, he seeks to steer between the Platonic dualism of soul and body and the extreme materialism of his Stoic rivals. This volume contains the first English translation of the work, as well as a detailed introduction, extensive explanatory notes and a bibliography.

Is power the essence of divinity, or are divine powers distinct from divine essence? Are they divine hypostases or are they divine attributes? Are powers such as omnipotence, omniscience, etc. modes of divine activity? How do they manifest? In which way can we apprehend them? Is there a multiplicity of gods whose powers fill the cosmos or is there only one God from whom all power(s) derive(s) and whose power(s) permeate(s) everything? These are questions that become central to philosophical and theological debates in Late Antiquity (roughly corresponding to the period 2nd to the 6th centuries). On the one hand, the Pagan Neoplatonic thinkers of this era postulate a complex hierarchy of gods, whose powers express the unlimited power of the ineffable One. On the other hand, Christians proclaim the existence of only one God, one divine power or one 'Lord of all powers'. Divided into two main sections, the first part of Divine Powers in Late Antiquity examines aspects of the notion of divine power as developed by the four major figures of Neoplatonism: Plotinus (c. 204-270), Porphyry (c. 234-305), Iamblichus (c.245-325), and Proclus (412-485). It focuses on an aspect of the notion of divine power that has been so far relatively neglected in the literature. Part two investigates the notion of divine power in early Christian authors, from the New Testament to the Alexandrian school (Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Athanasius the Great) and, further, to the Cappadocian Fathers (Basil the Great, Gregory of Nyssa), as well as in some of these authors' sources (the Septuagint, Philo of Alexandria). The traditional view tends to overlook the fact that the Bible, particularly the New Testament, was at least as important as Platonic philosophical texts in the shaping of the early Christian thinking about the Church's doctrines. Whilst challenging the received interpretation by redressing the balance between the Bible and Greek philosophical texts, the essays in the second section of this book nevertheless argue for the philosophical value of early Christian reflections on the notion of divine power. The two groups of thinkers that each of the sections deal with (the Platonic-Pagan and the Christian one) share largely the same intellectual and cultural heritage; they are concerned with the same fundamental questions; and they often engage in more or less public philosophical and theological dialogue, directly influencing one another.
