Loving People who are Hard to Love


R280.00
We’re never going to be able to prevent people from saying or doing things that hurt our feelings. We will always have opportunities to get offended. But if we do things God’s way, we can choose to save ourselves a lot of misery and hardship. This doesn’t mean we allow people to abuse us. No, there is a time for confronting people and dealing with situations. However, the Bible commands us to love our enemies and forgive those who have wronged us, even when it feels impossible.
Everything the Lord asks us to do in the Bible is ultimately for our good. In fact, when we choose to love our enemies and forgive those who have hurt us, we are actually helping ourselves more than anyone else. Because whatever the Lord commands us to do, He is going to give us the power of the Holy Spirit to accomplish it—and that includes loving and being good to difficult people! God’s love flowing through us is strong enough to melt even the hardest hearts, so use kindness as a weapon to overcome the meanness in people.

Discover the path to lasting change
Are you stressed out, exhausted, or in a rut? Do you feel troubled by negative emotions and feelings and not in control of your thoughts? In Change Your Thoughts, Change Your World, Bobby Schuller shows you how to get out of the vicious cycle of defeat and start living the victorious life God intended. You can recalibrate your mind and develop positive habits for permanent change by meditating on twelve key thoughts, among them:
God wants me to succeed.
I can break through overthinking by taking action now.
My body is a gift, even though it’s imperfect.
Every loss and challenge can be a doorway to a better version of me.
I can relax and let go.
In clear, specific steps, Schuller shows us how to train our minds through spiritual disciplines and prayer. By learning to focus on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy (Phil 4:8), we can change not only our own lives but also impact the world.

A call to Servant Leadership
Afrika Mhlophe turns us back to the true definition of godly leadership, reminding leaders that their purpose is to serve.
All too often, leaders pursue materialism and a title, instead of concentrating on God’s specific mandate for their lives. In A Passion for Position, Afrika Mhlophe tackles the timely issue of leadership and how it can be misused in today’s society. He turns us back to the true definition of godly leadership, reminding leaders that their purpose is to serve. Their value is not defined by their number of Facebook followers or how many congregants attend their church, but by fulfilling the role God ordained for them, no matter how seemingly insignificant.
Mhlophe believes that genuine godly leaders have a love-relationship with God that is not defined by performance, but a desire to please God, not man. Such leaders are Christians first and leaders second. A Passion for Position will enable readers to lead with integrity and to be motivated by the Lord, not people, living their lives to an audience of One.
