The book outlines how the Incarnation of Jesus transforms all human relationships and exalts daily human existence. Through a detailed analysis of biblical parables and characters—such as the prodigal son, the self-righteous Pharisee, and the repentant tax collector—Christian contends that true faith requires deep humility, repentance, and a total reliance on divine grace rather than human self-sufficiency. The work explores the pitfalls of secularism and materialism, illustrating how modern cultural standards fail to satisfy the human spirit. Furthermore, it details how a deep relationship with God delivers individuals from terrorizing fears, bestows genuine personal significance, and motivates a dedicated life of spiritual discipline, witnessing, and humble service.https://clmbooks.org/more-devotional-books/dead-to-sin-alive-to-god/Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://clmbooks.org/more-devotional-books/dead-to-sin-alive-to-god/Sin - Perversion of a Legitimate Desire! is a Christian devotional study by Ron Christian that maintains that sin often begins when a God-given desire is taken outside the boundaries of God’s will. Using the theme ‘Dead to Sin, Alive to God,’ the work contends that legitimate desires such as sexual desire, friendship, self-esteem, justice, pleasure, food, money, knowledge, anger, and the longing for companionship can become destructive when twisted by selfishness, pride, greed, lust, materialism, resentment, or self-centered love. Christian proposes that the problem is not the existence of human desire itself, but the misuse of desire apart from obedience, discipline, gratitude, humility, and love. The illustrated chart contrasts healthy, God-given desires with misplaced or perverted desires, showing how everyday longings can either serve God’s purposes or become harmful habits and attitudes. The closing devotional section reflects on renewal, healing, prayer, freedom from bitterness, confession, humor, family warmth, and personal growth, encouraging believers to live with a wider view of reality and to pursue transformation through Christ.https://clmbooks.org/more-devotional-books/here-he-comes/Thu, 25 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://clmbooks.org/more-devotional-books/here-he-comes/Here He Comes! is a Christian Advent and Christmas devotional work by Ron Christian that presents the coming of Christ as God’s supreme communication with humanity and the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan. The book maintains that Jesus’ incarnation reveals God’s love more clearly than nature, conscience, law, prophecy, or any other form of divine witness, because in Christ the Word became flesh and entered human suffering, loneliness, temptation, and death. Christian contends that Christmas must not be sentimentalized apart from the cross, since Jesus was born to identify with sinners, provide atonement, and call all people to repentance, faith, worship, and surrender. The work also explores how people respond to Christ, contrasting hostility, indifference, and adoring worship, while emphasizing that Christ’s genealogy and earthly ministry show God’s concern for women, outcasts, Gentiles, sinners, and all who are broken or despised. Throughout the chapters, Christian connects Christ’s first coming with His present spiritual reign and His promised return, calling believers to rejoice, behold, prepare, reconcile, witness, wonder, worship, and live in readiness for the coming King.
