God Has an App for That: Discover God's Solutions for the Major Issues of Life
Wouldn't it be great if there were accessible answers to our spiritual problems, just like there's a smartphone app for calculating a tip or getting directions to the dry cleaner? Most of us have heard the phrase "There's an app for that," popularized by the creators of the iPhone. Well, guess what? God has an app for the common conundrums faced by Christians everywhere. Stressed out? Struggling with prejudice? God has an app for that. Problem with crude language or gossip? Broken-hearted, anxious or depressed? God has an app for that, too! Pastor Dudley Rutherford invites readers to explore the book of James and discover God's user-friendly solutions for their biggest challenges in faith and life.
Top Highlights
“The more we are emptied of pride and self, the more room we have for the power of God to move in and work in our lives!” (source)
“Søren Kierkegaard once wrote, ‘Adversities do not make a person weak, they reveal what strength he has.’” (source)
“When we understand the fleeting nature of our world and everything in it, we are compelled to disregard that which we tend to cling to—power, position and prosperity. Consider this: Doesn’t most of our stress here on earth stem from a fear of losing something we can’t hold on to anyway? But if we can take pride in humility as instructed by God’s Word, the things of this world grow strangely dim.” (source)
“James 1:9 exhorts, ‘Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position.’ This is the opposite of what we tend to do, isn’t it? When times get tough, our trust in God’s provision fades and we want to take the bull by the horns and fix things.” (source)
“Dear friend, when you are stressed, you can choose to retreat, rebel or rejoice. My prayer is that you will always choose to rejoice (see Phil. 4:4).” (source)
