Logos Christian Bookstore Newsletter  

Dear ,

"One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, 'Of all the commandments, which is the most important?'  

 

'The most important one,' answered Jesus, 'is this: 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." Mark 12:28-31

 

When you read this scripture do you find yourself pondering "Who is my neighbor?". Is it really possible to love our neighbor as our self? Here are some steps to becoming a Good Neighbor:

 

1.Loving our neighbor means putting our needs aside.

Loving our neighbor means giving sacrificially when our neighbor has a need. We set aside our own needs and concentrate on providing for the neighbor. We have to be willing to put aside convenience and be there in the time of need. Showing love to our neighbor is the best example of Godliness there is. When Jesus came to walk with us here on earth, He came as a servant to all mankind. We, in turn, are to be servants to others, demonstrating a Godly love. Whether or not the person to whom you are showing love accepts it or not, it is still our responsibility and duty as Godly people.

 

2. Who is our neighbor in God's eyes?

When Jesus was asked this question, He told the story of the Good Samaritan. There is a a story of a Sunday School teacher who asked a group of Third Graders what they would do if they saw a person on the road beaten and bloodied. After some thought, a little girl raised her hand and responded, "I would probably throw-up!" And the Good Samaritan might have felt that way too, but he helped the man anyway. A neighbor is anyone close by to where you are. Regardless of how we feel, God asks us to demonstrate His love to them.

 

3. Love is the greatest witness of Christ.

Matthew 5:16, "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."

1 Peter 2:15, "For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people."

1 John 3:18, "Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth."

 

Be the neighbor God has called you to be to those around you.
 

Blessings,

Steve  <><

A story of common wisdom from the bestselling author of The Traveler's Gift.

Orange Beach, Alabama is a simple town filled with simple people. But like all humans on the planet, the good folks of Orange Beach have their share of problems - marriages teetering on the brink of divorce, young adults giving up on life, business people on the verge of bankruptcy, as well as the many other obstacles that life seems to dish out to the masses.

Fortunately, when things look the darkest - a mysterious man named Jones has a miraculous way of showing up.  An elderly man with white hair, of indiscriminate age and race, wearing blue jeans, a white T-shirt and leather flip flops carrying a battered old suitcase, Jones is a unique soul. Communicating what he calls "a little perspective," Jones explains that he has been given a gift of noticing things that others miss.  "Your time on this earth is a gift to be used wisely," he says.  "Don't squander your words or your thoughts. Consider even the simplest action you take, for your lives matter beyond measure?and they matter forever."

Jones speaks to that part in everyone that is yearning to understand why things happen and what we can do about it.

Like The Traveler's Gift, The Noticer is a unique narrative is a blend of fiction, allegory, and inspiration.  Gifted storyteller Andy Andrews helps us see how becoming a "noticer" just might change a person's life forever.

 

The Colors of Hope

The Christian life, says Richard Dahlstrom, should be guided by the intentional goal of blessing the lives of the friends, loved ones, and strangers in our midst.

We are called to impact a culture that, for all the rhetoric about hope, is overwhelmingly preoccupied with personal peace, prosperity, protection, and survival. Christians should be artists who paint with the colors of hope in a broken world, embodying Christ's redemptive presence in our personal lives, our work, and our relationships.

This inspiring and practical book offers tools for living out this vision in daily life, with special attention given to the challenges we face in staying focused on the mission of imparting hope to others even while dealing with our own personal issues. Anyone who wishes they could have an impact on the world will cherish this unique book.

Click Picture for Free Download

This "Then and Now Bible Maps: Middle East" e-Chart contains a beautifully colored map of the Middle East. This map compares modern day cities and countries (in red) with Biblical dates and places.

Deluxe Then and Now Bible Maps includes full-color Bible maps with clear plastic overlays that show modern cities and countries. Now you can see where Bible places are today. It also comes with a CD-ROM of all the maps in JPG and PDF so you can easily print them for Bible studies, teaching, reports, or personal use. The bestselling Deluxe Then and Now Bible Map Book brings new relevance to Bible events. No other Bible atlas has so many full-color maps, clear plastic overlays, and large readable type.  Tell Bible stories and lead studies while presenting today's geography. Here are some examples:

  • Daniel was taken as POW to Iraq (where the ruins of Babylon are today south of Baghdad) and lived there the rest of his life
  • The ruins of Nineveh are in Northern Iraq near Mosul in Kurdish areas
  • The wise men were probably from Iran or Saudi Arabia
  • Queen Esther's throne was just 100 northeast of Kuwait City

The CD-ROM inside the book contains all of the same maps in JPG and PDF formats so that you can use them in your own teaching material, essays, and reports. Perfect for students, Bible study leaders, pastors, professors, and others who enjoy Bible study.

This easy-to-use Bible atlas presents "Then and Now" maps for five different eras of Bible history, including:

  • The Beginnings to the Exodus
  • The Conquest of the Promised Land to the United Kingdom
  • The Divided Kingdom to the Persian Empire
  • The Life of Jesus
  • The Spread of Christianity

Deluxe Then and Now Bible Maps uses larger, easier-to-read type than most Bible atlases. The book is full-color and includes the following Bible maps and clear-plastic overlays that display today's cities and countries over Bible-time maps. Pastors will want a copy of this resource for themselves and several throughout the church as a ministry resource.

Some Parting Fun....

My quiet Saturday morning ended abruptly when my 12-year-old son, Billy, and one of his friends burst through the door.

 

"Hey Dad, announced Billy, "have you met the new neighbors?"

 

"No."

 

"Come on Dad, you have to meet them."

 

"Some other time; I'm busy."

 

"Dad, you have to meet them now."

 

From the urgency in Billy's voice, I assumed the neighbors were waiting outside. I set aside my project and went to the front of the house. No one was there.

 

"Where are they?" I asked.

 

"Well, Dad," he explained, "we haven't met them yet either, but our baseball is in their living room!"
