In addition to fascinating examples of speciation by mutation and the lesser-known processes of sexual recombination and polyploidy, Howard Stutz examines the evidence from the embryo stages of human beings and other creatures to show how selection and differentiation moved development in certain favored directions while leaving behind evidence of earlier, discarded developments. With rigorous, scientific clarity—but in language accessible to a popular audience—this book proceeds to its conclusion, reached after a lifetime of study: the divine map of creation is one supported by both scientific evidence and scripture.
Have you ever asked yourself what changed when you were "born again?" You look in the mirror and see the same reflection - your body hasn't changed. You find yourself acting the same and yielding to those same old temptations - that didn't seem to change either. So you wonder, Has anything really changed? The correct answer to that question is foundational for receiving from God. If you lack this basic understanding, you'll forever ask yourself doubt-filled questions like: "How could God love somebody like me?" and "How can I possibly expect to receive anything from the Lord? I don't deserve it, I'm not good enough!" Spirit, Soul, and Body will help you eliminate those and other doubt-filled questions that destroy your faith. If you have trouble receiving from God, this is a must-read!
When Jesus said, “It is finished,” was he just making a way for personal salvation with God, or was there a bigger picture that the church has been in the dark about...until NOW? Should we expect love, peace, and joy now or just hang on till we someday get to heaven? John 14:12 says, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” God is opening gates with a declaration to the world that today is the day of salvation, which is the Greek word SOZO meaning: health, prosperity, wholeness, and peace. His mansions are NOW adorned with the beauty of light. His feet are NOW walking streets of gold. Behold, the lamb has taken away the sins of the world. He is calling ALL to come and claim their inheritance set before them as the Sons of God, and to grow up in their true identity, to BE the mature in Christ. We are being commissioned by the Holy Spirit that TODAY the Eternal Life, Love, and Light of our Heavenly Father is in our midst to be manifested. Bringing Forth the Sons of God will bring hope and encouragement to a troubled world that we don’t have to hang on till we die to receive our inheritance from the Father. We can NOW enter into His presence and receive our inheritance
