More God-centric and Less Situation-centric Living

About the Book

We know that God works in mysterious ways, yet the mysteries of God can leave us with lifelong questions about his nature and character. Thankfully, God has provided us with a way to understand him and ourselves better—and that is by focusing on him and on his Word.

In More God-centric and Less Situation-centric Living, author William “Bill” Porter encourages us to shift the focus of our lives and our thoughts back to God and away from ourselves. By creating a theology of the inherent goodness of God, Porter shows how a God-centric life is a life of almost total submission to God’s sovereignty, and that many churches today do not teach the truth that God is about more than solving personal problems.

More God-centric living enables you to acknowledge, accept, and use all the fruits of the Spirit and then walk with contentment into the gardens of both the bouquets and weeds of life, as the apostle Paul encouraged us in Philippians 4:12. You will acknowledge and walk in the realization that the gospel is not just the good news of God—but that God is the good news! That God rules! That God is sovereign! And that God is central!
