never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

Regain Your Momentum

Rebound Revisited

This explores the divine directive for dealing with personal

sin after salvation and regaining momentum in the spiritual

life. The Apostle Paul, above all men, completely under---

stood the importance of rebound, naming his sins privately

to God the Father. Yet at one point, even  Paul allowed his

feelings to supersede his knowledge of God's wonderful plan

of recovery. He was mired in human viewpoint and  human

solutions until  he finally set aside his emotion, utilized the 

rebound technique, and resumed his advance in the spiritual

life. Rebound is the divine solution for recovering fellowship

with  God. Never a work on the part of the believer, rebound

reveals the  majestic grace of God. God does all  the work. He

requires no emotional purging, agonizing, godly sorrow, penance,

or faith.  Recovery  from sin and regaining  fellowship with God

result only when the believer follows  the gracious mandate of

The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God

stands forever.

Isa. 40:8

Remorse--- No More

Rebound & Keep Moving!

Is the key that unlocks the Christian way of life. After salvation

the sin nature remains a relentless adversary, tempting the believer

to sin and live in carnality. When the believer sins, fellowship with

God is destroyed, the filling of the Holy Spirit is temporarily lost,

and spiritual  progress ceases.  Rebound is the simplest yet  most in--

credible concept in the spiritual life. Rebound defeats sin. Guilt, anguish,

 remorse  over  past failures  vanish  knowing  that  God forgives

and forgets all past sins. Rebound is our access to intimacy with the

Lord, the  gateway to divine power in our lives, our license to serve

the Lord. Rebound opens the door to the wonderful freedom the grace

of God offers to every believer in Jesus Christ.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace

as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with

hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Rom. 15:13

Once A Believer Always A Believer

The Prodigal Son

He leaves  home and  squanders his inheritance in  riotous living.

His elder brother   stays  home  and works   hard. When the prodigal

returns  and is  restored to his  father, the elder brother  becomes petty,

jealous, bitter, and  resentful. Despite their different paths into carnality,

their sins  cannot  remove  them from  the circumstances of  their  birth. 

Once  a  son, always   a son! As a "born  again" believer, whether you sin 

like the prodigal or like the elder brother, you remain a permanent member

of the family of God, but you lose your temporal fellowship with God. To 

remedy  this  rift, God has provided a simple, grace procedure--rebound---

so that your postsalvation sins are forgiven and you can recover fellowship

and move on  in  the Christian life. Jesus taught the parable of the prodigal

son to  an  audience of self-righteous  legalists who reviled  the profligate

prodigal  and  praised  the holier-than-thou  elder brother. Yet they entirely

missed the message! Everyone who believes  who  believes in Christ by faith

alone  is  a  permanent son  of God. Once a family member, any believer can 

reclaim his Christian life from carnality and be restored to fellowship with God.

 I am the Lord your God, who takes hold of your right hand and

says to you, "Do not fear; I will help you."

Isa. 41:13

A Solution

Isolation Of Sin 

Breaking the vicious cycle of carnality shackling many believers to

their past failures. God's grace solution for the believer's sin is rebound,

privately confessing or naming sins to God the Father. Rebound instant--

aneously's accomplishes divine forgiveness, recovery of the Holy Spirit,

and restoration to fellowship with God. Yet many believers immediately

fall out of  fellowship,  caught  in reaction, guilt, and  a chain of mental,

verbal, or  overt  sins.  As their frustration  mounts, carnality seems over--

whelming. How do you break  this cycle?  Disengage yourself from forgiven

sin! When God forgives a sin, it no longer belongs to you. Do not reclaim the

burden! God has blotted out your sin! Feeling guilty, habitually looking back-

ward, worrying, chronic self-reproach only perpetuates your status in carnality.

When you  isolate  your sin by "forgetting those  things which are past," you

can" press on" to the high ground of spiritual maturity in your Christian life.

We do not lose heart. For our light and momentary

troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that

far outweighs them all.

It's Good To Control Your Nature

(Spirituality Books)

God The Holy Spirit vs. The Sin Nature

Is a ceaseless inner conflict. Each Christian by his own volition determines

who controls his life at any moment. The sin nature is inherent at birth. As

long as we live we retain this genetic distorter of our lives, with the result that

we  cannot fulfill the plan of God. Yet God's  marvelous plan  can be fulfilled.

Through the invisible ministry of God the Holy Spirit we can execute the Christian

way of life. This book tells the dramatic story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19. After a pow-

erful spiritual victory, he flees in terror because of an empty threat against his life.

The spiritual hero becomes totally ineffective. This Old Testament prophet vividly

illustrates a principle that applies to every New Testament believer: there is a vast

difference between living under the control of the sin nature and leading a life of

spiritual dynamics under the control of the Holy Spirit.

"I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "plan's to

prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Jer. 29:11

A Declaration

Witnessing

The  declaration of the good news of salvation, the Gospel of 

Jesus Christ, to the  unbelieving  world . But is this  responsibility

and privilege reserved solely for the pastor, missionary, and evangelist?

Definitely not! Every believer is responsible for presenting the Gospel

to a lost and dying world. What do you tell unbelievers about Christ? You

must explain what He accomplished on the cross and how anyone can rec-

eive  this incomparable gift. Your guiding principle is faith alone in Christ

alone. You are the point of contact in the unbeliever's search for meaning

and purpose in life. Without faith in Christ and an eternal future, his life

is ultimately meaningless. When a loved one, a friend, or even a stranger

believes in Christ as Savior from your presentation of the Gospel, you will

experience the inexpressible reward of serving our Lord through witnessing.

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my

heart and my portion forever.
