In "My Waffle Dreams," author Norman Rawlings shares an eclectic collection of both thought-provoking and light-hearted personal essays inspired by his life experiences, relationships, and loves. For Rawlings, clarity and epiphanies arrive like bolts of lightening; as he responds to his circumstances and describes what he has ventured out and found through self-discovery and reflection, he leads the way for others to do the same. As he takes a witty, whimsical look at love and relationships, he tackles the often hilarious differences between men and women, questioning why his date orders a salad for lunch and then eats half of his cheese fries. Rawlings shows a more serious, introspective side when he reminds us of good that comes from the sacrifices of others, challenges us to strengthen our character before it is too late, and teaches us to become more adaptable and open our heart to forgiveness. "My Waffle Dreams" presents a compelling collection of essays that encourages others to look at life in an entirely new way.
In the New Testament of the Bible in the book called the Acts of the Apostles, we see a church and a people impacted by the power of God. These people applied themselves to study the teachings of the church, to prayer and also enjoyed a caring fellowship. This church affected the world around it and great signs and miracles were normal. As Christians today we can and should live the continuation of the Acts of the Apostles and the continuation of the normal church. In the chapters of On the Way: Basic Christian Training, we explain how you become a Christian. We weave verses from the Bible and explanations into a narrative to show you how you can grow into all God intends for you to be. We help you to see how you can experience the power, meaning, and fulfillment only God can bring.
At salvation, when we give our lives to Jesus and become Christians, we begin a wonderful eternal life with him, first on this earth and then in heaven. You may be asking, "What is Christianity all about? What is salvation? How exactly do I become a Christian?" Whether you have been a Christian for a few days or many years, you may have many questions but have probably realized from the Bible that God has so much for you. The Bible is God's Word to you and has all the answers to your questions. It is our prayer that as you work through this book of 366 short daily devotions, you will be enlightened and excited by God's Word and desire all he has for you as a Christian. We trust that these devotions will help you to understand the Bible better. In the devotions, we quote scripture verses, give references to many others and, with our words of explanation, try to clearly present an array of topics important to us all as Christians. You will read about God's unconditional love and forgiveness, salvation, and becoming a Christian. We have devotions on how he wishes to walk and talk with you and guide you. God has a truly abundant life for you both now and in heaven. We discuss how the power of God's Word and the Holy Spirit can change and mature you to be more like God each day. We also delve into other areas, such as faith, healing, prayer, sharing Christ with others, and so much more. We put a strong emphasis on how to grow as a Christian, how to walk in all of God's promises, and the role of all Christians in the church.
