Basic Life Principles - Living How God Meant It To Be For You - Steve Martin Martin Lighthouse Publishing


Basic Life Principles 
Living How God Meant It To Be For You 

Steve Martin, Martin Lighthouse Publishing
June 29, 2017

We all want to enjoy having the good things in life, and often do that which is good, or not so good, to achieve that goal. 

But what if we sought the One who created us, to find out what His thoughts are, what His ways were meant to be, and to actually walk in the chosen path He ordained for each one of us to go on? I personally think we might discover the best way to live, and find real purpose in discovering, and walking out, His perfect plan and purposes for you and I. 

These messages, from my regularly published Now Think On This, will help to encourage you to get on the path that He, the Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, specifically created for you to walk on. Life has purpose. Life has meaning. If we look to the Creator, we will know what that is. 

Enjoy the read, while seeking the Living God in all His ways. You will surely be rewarded for it, now and forever, amen.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Steve and Laurie Martin

Steve Martin served with three Christian ministries from 1987-2010, all having a national and international outreach focus. During that time he made 14 ministry trips to Israel, China, India, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United Kingdom.

On his overseas journeys, Steve enjoyed sharing written journal entries with family and friends back home, through Internet media. His light-hearted stories gave an up close and personal touch for those reading along. Many could imagine being there themselves.

His extensive collection of photos taken during these trips, of both local scenery and common people on the streets, has touched thousands through their varied images.

In 2010, Steve and Laurie began Love For His People, Inc, a 501©3 non-profit humanitarian aid ministry. This work touches the natural and spiritual lives of those around them with needed encouragement and strength.

His regular messages Now Think On This are posted on the ministries Love For His People and Now Think of This blogs. They are also on Facebook and Twitter, featuring words of spiritual enrichment, along with selected photos.

Since 1994, Steve and his good wife Laurie have lived in the Charlotte, NC area, after having homes in Illinois, Michigan and Florida. Now married for more than 39 years, they enjoy their four adult children and spouses (Josh and Chelsie, Ben, Hannah and Jonathan, Christen and Andrew), along with our seven additional grandchildren – Daniel, Logan, Dylan Joy, Jensen, Payton, Jack and Levi Zachary.

While continuing to serve organizations with his accounting skills, he enjoys writing, photography and growing the ministry of Love For His People, Inc.

"Awesome - Our God Reigns" - Steve Martin's newest book (#14) is now published! - Paperback & Kindle


"Awesome - Our God Reigns" 

 Steve Martin's newest book (#14) is now published!

 You can purchase online at Amazon.


May 24, 2017

Greetings.

 I was most encouraged in writing this book. After publishing my previous 13 books, I believe this will be considered one of my best for many readers. 
Especially after my trip to Israel April 30 - May 9, 2017, I am looking forward to sharing it with you now that it is published. It includes my messages and many photos from that time in Israel.
Be blessed in Jesus. The Living God of Israel, Who shows Himself strong.

Steve Martin
Author

Martin Lighthouse Publishing

P.S. 28 chapters plus 2000 photos! (Just kidding - there are only 128 photos - so the guys will buy it and at least look at those.) The cover photo I took is that of the lion living at the Jerusalem Zoo. To me, he is a great image of the Lord, the Lion of Judah Himself.

And to know that it has been published on the 50th reunification anniversary (May 22, 2017) is extra special.




The Introduction

Our God, the living God of Israel, is an awesome God. He is alive and well, and in full control of what is happening in these days we live in. His love and mercy are on display daily, as He draws His people to Himself, both Jews and Gentiles. 

I have compiled these Now Think On These into another book, messages written over the last months, and added the Jerusalem Log daily updates from my trip to Israel May 1-May 9, 2017. I hope you will be encouraged in your daily walk with the Lord through the reading of them.

If you know Jesus (Yeshua) you know that He is there day in and day out, leading and directing us to become more conformed to Him, and be a witness in the earth. If you do not know Him yet, I pray these words (and photos) will move your heart ever closer to the point when you do. Be blessed, with the shalom (peace) and ahava (love) of the Lord.

    "12" - Thoughts of the Lord in numbers and other ways" - newest book by Steve Martin


    "12"
    -Thoughts of the Lord in numbers and other ways

    Paperback: $7.99 

    Kindle Version: "12" - Thoughts of the Lord in numbers and other ways. $2.99



    When it came time to title this book, I knew it was no coincidence that this is my 12th published work. I count it very special. Not only is this book my 12th, but there have been other “12s” in my life. I live at our house location with the street numbers “12120”. My favorite NASCAR driver was “24” – of course, made up of the numbers 2 x 12. I turned “12 x 5” just over a year and a half ago. 

    Reaching the BIG 60 means I am still going in the Lord’s grace and provision! My 12th trip to Israel will occur in May of 2016. That is very special to me, as the primary work of our ministry is to bless our Jewish friends in their Promised Land, with actual friendship and financial support. Both in word and in deed. Knowing there are 12 tribes of Israel, 12 apostles selected by Yeshua (Jesus), 12 elders now seated around the throne, 12 months in each year…well, you get the point. 

    This book consists of my last 26 Now Think On This messages. Someone once mentioned that my writings would have been simply called "journaling" years ago, and in their mind probably should be for private use only. They wondered why I would continue to publish my Now Think On This messages into book form which I share with others. 

    At first I was taken aback with the comment, considering it as myself being questioned of the real intended purpose I had with my messages. But a few hours later on that same day, when I sat down and started to read Doug Addison's book on his 2016 prophetic words (which he said he received during September of 2015, the time of Rosh Hashanah, considered by many the Jewish New Year), an encouraging word stood out and uplifted my spirit. That word (among many!) was, "God spoke to me to pull all my words together into book form. This allows people to remember and pray about them." (Page 3, 2016 Prophetic Forecast, InLight Connection, 2015) 

    And so I say that is one main reason why I do too. In fact, the Lord also had spoken to me that same inspired word, back in November of 2010, after I returned from Israel and sought Him as to my question, “Not what?” in regards to the next step in our new ministry Love For His People, Inc., having just formed it in April of that year. When He responded by telling me to “Write love letters” I did so, which then became my blog messages. As do so many teachers of the Word, their messages eventually are the basis of their books which follow. A great example that I adhered to with several of my previous books. 

    Thus, not only to share what I believe are inspirations from the Lord Jesus with you, but also to leave them as a legacy for my children and grandchildren. They will know even more what Dad/Grandpa stood for, and will be encouraged, along with others like you, to do so also. Be blessed in your pursuit of the Lord Yeshua, the Coming Messiah, as you seek Him in all you do. 

    Shalom and ahava (peace and love in Hebrew),
