Life’s 7 Ultimate Questions

Life’s 7 Ultimate Questions

In ministry, when people ask you deep questions, where do you turn for ultimate answers?

During my next How to Care Like Christ seminar (see below for details), we’ll explore together how to change lives with Christ’s changeless truth.

We’ll discover scriptural answers to life’s seven ultimate questions:

1. What is truth? Where do I find answers?

2. Who is God? Can I know Him personally?

3. Who am I? What makes people tick?

4. What went wrong? Why do we do the things we do?

5. Can people change? How do people change?

6. What’s my purpose? How does my future destiny impact my present reality?

7. How can I help? How can I change lives?

Our First-Ever Webinar!

RPM Ministries’ First-Ever Webinar!

One of life’s 7 ultimate questions is, “How can I help? Do I have a purpose and how do I fulfill it?” I want to help you to answer these questions…for free.

I’m excited to announce that I’m able to offer you something very valuable for the low price of…$0.00!

You’ve heard me talk about my How to Care Like Christ seminars.

Now, for the first time, I’m presenting part of that seminar as a webinar. From the comfort of your home and the privacy of your computer screen, you’ll be able to hear my presentation while viewing the entire PowerPoint presentation.

But That’s Not All!

But that’s not all. I’m working in partnership with three other nationally-known biblical counselors. Their three webinar sessions also cost…$0.00!

Over the course of two weeks, we’ll offer four interactive sessions that each last an hour. Topics include:

 1. How to Identify the Ruling Idols of Your Heart (Rick Thomas, December 1, 2009, 7-8 PM EST)

All sessions will include practical advice, examples, and a Q/A time.

What You’ll Learn to Do in My Webinar

Everyone wants to do biblical counseling and to be a spiritual friend, but what does it actually look like in practice? In my webinar you’’ll be equipped to:

1. Use God’s Word to bring Christ’s hope to people’s suffering.

2. Offer sustaining care for discouraged people by weeping with those who weep—learn how to empathize with people’s hurts.

3. Bring healing comfort for suffering people by exploring Christ’s hope in the midst of people’s grief—learn how to encourage people with Christ’s truth.

The Details

The date/time for my webinar is December 8, 2009, 7-8 PM EST.

For more details and to register for any or all of the four webinar sessions,  click here.

This invitation is being sent to over 200,000 (not exaggerating) people, and we only have room for the first 1,000 people for each webinar. So registering quickly is a good idea.
