When Wayne Kniffen’s future wife was a senior in high school, he was a thirty-year-old Vietnam veteran turned pastor who was married with three children. Not emotionally and spiritually mature enough to be anyone’s husband at that time, he was convinced that he would never know what it was like to be in a covenant relationship with someone he loved and who loved him back. Little did he know that over two decades later, he would meet that woman. Within a touching retelling of the loving, godly relationship he shared with his second wife, Betty Ann, Wayne leads others down an inspirational path into their unique experiences, beginning with the day she transformed his world shortly after he...
There are only two ways life can be lived: from the outside in or from the inside out. Most of us have chosen option number one. Before we accepted Christ as our Lord and Savior, this was the only option. We had no choice because we were wholly self-conscious in our natural selves. This self-focused condition was passed on to us through the corrupted seed of Adam. New Creation Thinking is a thought-provoking exploration of ways born-again Christians should strive to live up to their full potential as new creations in Christ. It warns against becoming complacent and falling back into old habits that do not serve God’s purpose. Most Christians have settled for a life that is far beneath their identities as new creations in Christ. They live with a someday mentality. They believe that everything God has provided has been deposited in personal heavenly bank accounts, but we can’t access them until we get to heaven—someday. We lack a now perspective, and this is our weakness. It’s time to start thinking like the new creations we have become in Christ. This will only happen when we live our lives from the inside out.
Can you imagine anything more sobering than to live your entire life thinking you were “this person,” then discover at the end of your life you were actually “that person” instead? To make things more gut wrenching, you discover “that person” had a better life, and you never enjoyed the benefits and privileges that life offered. Most Christians will live their entire lives and never make the discovery of who Christ has made them to be. The Scam originates from the crucible of author Wayne Kniffen’s own experience. He spent thirty years pastoring local churches when the Holy Spirit began to reveal to him his true identity in Christ. Divided into three sections, this guide helps ...
Every church is not the Lord’s church, but the legitimate church is waking up—and miracles, signs, and wonders will appear to those who believe. God is going to take those of us who want to participate to zones where the Holy Spirit is our only comfort. The supernatural is going to become natural to those who have the audacity to believe and to those who expect it. Steeped in Scripture, this book seeks to answer questons such as: • Have we turned the church into something it wasn’t meant to be? • Should we be more interested in gathering and keeping people or in releasing and sending them out? • What is our motivation for reaching more people? The author contends that most churches are spending more time, energy, and resources on building bigger crowds. Absolutely nothing is wrong with that if your intent is to help members cultivate their faith so they can then share it with others. However, far too many churches are focused on attracting bigger crowds, building bigger buildings, and buying more land than sending people out to share their faith with a lost and dying world.
When you accept Jesus as your Lord and savior, you become a completely new creation. You now have a new life; one you’ve been given by God. An exchange takes place the moment you accept Jesus’s invitation to life: God’s quid pro quo. Something for something: You give him your old life, and he gives you a new life. In The Exchange, author Wayne Kniffen delves into the concept of exchange, helping you understand your new identity as a child of God. He discusses the idea that when you have a born-from-above experience with Christ, a spiritual transformation takes place on the inside. Your old nature is exchanged for a new nature. Because the transformation happens on the inside, it cannot be seen by physical eyes. But if there’s been a spiritual transformation, there will be a physical manifestation. It will begin to manifest through your character and conduct. The Exchange communicates complex spiritual truths in easy-to-understand ways, and Kniffen sprinkles examples and metaphors of spiritual truths about identity and the exchanged life throughout.
