God's Divine Assignment

God's Divine Assignment

By: Rev. Leon Abbott

In the writing of this awesome undertaking, Dr. Leon Abbott takes us behind the dark curtain of God's creation. We are invited into the deeper waters of God where babes desire to go. At the same time, the author believes that in these times of human existence, babes must be taught how to swim in the deeper waters of God's revelation and knowledge. On nothing God stood, and from within himself, creation was birthed; every time, he spoke the phrase "Let it be." When he said, "Let there be light," light appeared. And God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters." And God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear," and it was so. And God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, herb-yielding seeds, and the fruit-yielding trees, after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth," and it was so. And God the Creator said, It was good. After man had become a sinner, man still had some good in him because of God's DNA within him. Man was still good enough for God to give heaven best (Jesus) for man's redemption. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them (Ephesians 2:10, KJV). The phrase "Let there be" continued until he reached the crown of his creation: man. It is here that God the Creator reaches down and forms man out of the dust of the ground, which he had carried within himself in the spiritual realm. He reaches down again and touch man by breathing into man's nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. It wasn't long after this that God placed the man he birthed in the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. He commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die" (Genesis 2:16""17, KJV). Tell a child or someone what they can't do, and often time they will do what they been instructed not to do. In this writing, the author discusses even the Divine Assignment of Death and how Death came alive from the dead. Death couldn't give life to death; who gave life to the cold hands of death? The author gives us a clear answer as to why man needs Jesus. In the giving of his Divine Assignment, God takes man from the ordinary to the extraordinary. Moses was just an ordinary sheep/animal watcher until God gave him his Divine Assignment. We too, like Moses, are just merely existing until we begin carrying out our Divine Assignment in love for God and mankind. Your Divine Assignment will not only bless you, but it has been ordained by God to be a blessing to others as well. We continue to be blessed by the trees as they give off oxygen, and the sun that gives us light and heat, as they continue to carry out their God-given Divine Assignment. Why couldn't the fallen angels be redeemed by God when they failed in carrying out their Divine Assignment? The answer to this question and more is within this work of Dr. Leon Abbott.

Hello? Is Anyone There?

A Pastoral Reflection on the Struggle with "Unanswered" Prayer

By: Roger Philip Abbott

According to the Bible, the God of Christianity has a reputation for answering prayer. However, many Christians have been sometimes severely tempted to think they have been sold short as they have found themselves in some crisis and have cried out to God in all sincerity, and found that he has been "out." From years of pastoral experience in addressing crises, and after having to face crises in his own experience, Roger Abbott attempts to help Christians who are struggling with what seem to be very real instances of God not answering their heartfelt prayers. There are many books about prayer, but there are not many that attempt to face the huge struggles with prayer that pray-ers can face. This book, while refusing to shirk those struggles and the debilitating emotional impact they can have, also attempts to navigate those emotional struggles with the use of a practical theology. Some Christians think, other Christians pray. Hello? Is Anyone There? combines a passion for thoughtful theology and a passion for prayer, out of a passion for a relationship with God in Christ.

'The Son of Man'

By: Edwin A. Abbott

Originally published in 1910, this book contains an exhaustive study of the use of the phrase 'Son of Man' in the Old and New Testaments. Abbott illustrates how Christian writers used the mystical trope present in many books of Jewish prophecy to convey their belief in Christ as an eschatological figure foretold by Scripture. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Christology and the use of this enigmatic title in Jewish and Christian theology.

Stephen J. Cannell Television Productions

A History of All Series and Pilots

By: Jon Abbott

The face of 1980s television was shaped by a man who stayed behind the scenes. Stephen Cannell's reluctant white knights--put-upon private eye James Rockford, World War II fly-boys the Black Sheep Squadron, hapless superhero Ralph Hinckley, fugitive mercenaries the A-Team, and maverick cop Hunter--traversed the television landscape from the 1970s to the 1990s. Cannell changed the face of the action-adventure genre, updating the crime-show format with a hybrid of rebellious morality, juvenile wit, intelligent sarcasm, and radical conservatism. This book discusses in detail the programs of the writer-producer and lists every episode of his award-winning productions from the early 1970s to the early '90s. The book features publicity photos and descriptions of unsold pilots.
