Publisher's Synopsis
What does a real follower of Jesus Christ look like?
Most Christians would agree that a true believer should be different--distinguishable from the world in an identifiable way. But does that mean a believer should possess a certain personal appearance, follow a set of specific rules, or complete a particular course of Christian education?
If you could see into the heart of a Christian, there are certain things you should find--regardless of where they come from or what denomination they belong to--and Pastor Gilbert Ybarra understands this keenly.
In Not of This World, Pastor Ybarra exhibits a deep-seated passion to help others find the kind of life-changing relationship with God that he himself has experienced on his Christian journey. He lays out fundamentals and principles that each and every believer should apply to their lives when they live as true disciples of Christ. Pastor Ybarra and his wife, Fannie, are founders of The River of Life Christian Fellowship in Patterson, California, a church dedicated to the ideas of authentic community, intentional discipleship, and God-centered worship.
As you read this accessible, scripturally grounded book, you will encounter:
- The importance of personal worship and a devotional life
