Piper offers a biblical defence of God's supremacy in all things, providing a sound theological foundation for missions.

Download or read book All about the Second Coming written by Herbert Lockyer and published by Hendrickson Publishers. This book was released on 1998 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic "All" series books have graced the shelves of pastors, students, and laypeople alike for decades. "All about The Second Coming" continues in the series' tradition of offering a faithful and comprehensive treatment of biblical subjects. Herbert Lockyer opens this work with disturbing words: "The doctrine of the Second Coming is one of the most abused and distorted in the Bible." To correct these abuses and distortions, he undertakes a detailed study of the book of Revelation. "Let us," he says, "read what the Bible has to say about Christ's coming, taking every reference at its face value." Section by section--sometimes verse by verse--he traces what this mysterious book says about the history of the world from Pentecost to the Rapture of the Church, from the Tribulation to the Great White Throne. He sheds light on often-troubling images and descriptions, helping readers feel as if they understand the message of Revelation. An appendix describes the rich significance of the many numbers appearing in Revelation, and the scripture index aids readers in finding answers to their specific questions.

Download or read book The Second Coming of Christ Our Lord written by David Clements Sr. and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bible Notes Genesis 1:1: "In the beginning God created heaven and earth." Note: I believe that God is an all-powerful Creator. That any person with basic common sense can understand. You cannot understand God without first believing that there is a God. To understand God, you will have to get back to the basics. You have to understand that man back in the time when the book was written only used what he had around him to describe what he was writing. I believe that God created all things by using atoms, which connects us to him. We cannot separate from these connecting atoms of God until we refuse to believe that he is the Creator. Until we die, we have the choice to believe or not. But once we do not choose to believe, at death we are separated from him and cannot be reconnected. Genesis 1:2: "And the Earth was without form and void. And darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." Genesis 1:3: "And God said, 'Let there be light; and there was light.'" I believe that God is all-powerful atoms of a loving father of all people that believe in him, to anyone who will just basically believe, but those who choose not to believe will live without the light and will be in darkness of knowledge for life and death. Genesis 2:7: "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." Again you have to see that in that time the words in that time had no way to relate to what I believe was dust then atoms now. God is first and foremost the ultimate, the original scientist, way ahead of our time and never to be caught in terms of knowledge. An all-loving Father of creation. The creation is not perfect, but the Creator is. His children are also not perfect, but only by believing in the Father's Son will we one day become perfect as the Father. Another interesting thing that God did was to not let Enoch die as others before him. The book declares that God took him as he was to heaven. So many times we have heard that planes and ships have vanished, but God may have taken these chosen people home to heaven, like he did with Enoch and Elijah. Genesis 5:24: "And Enoch walked with God: and he was not for God took him." In the book of Genesis, referring to the living soul placed in man by God, if man creates or clones a man and the man has no soul, he is void of God's connection; therefore, the man that is cloned is anti-God and has no soul. Animals have no soul put in them by God; therefore, it can be cloned. There is no doubt that man and woman had the gift of God to live forever but did not listen to God's simple instructions: to not eat of the tree. So therefore, God had to drive man from the very place we want to be-God's place attached to him as a loving father, real and looking out for the good of his children who believe in him. Today's questions are still as interesting as back when the Bible was written, maybe even more as to why man did not and still will not listen to God. There is no tale in telling this story, for this is a true story. On capital punishment is very clear in Genesis 9:6, "Whoso sheddeth man's blood by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image God made he man." Another realness of God is in Genesis 11:5, "And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the children of men built." This proves that God traveled from heaven to earth. September 11, 2001, the war between good and evil began. The Antichrist of the faceless god to the terrorist Ali has lifted its ugly head and struck out at the Christian believers around the world. Our God of the Holy Bible will prevail through Jesus Christ our Lord. Take heart, all who believe and trust in the words of our Lord, which are in the Holy Bible. Satan's fate is already cast and our Lord and Savior will have the final word. And God will again travel to earth to claim his followers and destroy the Satan-led nations of the world and his people.
Download or read book The Global War on Christians written by John L. Allen, Jr. and published by Image. This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most respected journalists in the United States and the bestselling author of The Future Church uses his unparalleled knowledge of world affairs and religious insight to investigate the troubling worldwide persecution of Christians. From Iraq and Egypt to Sudan and Nigeria, from Indonesia to the Indian subcontinent, Christians in the early 21st century are the world's most persecuted religious group. According to the secular International Society for Human Rights, 80 percent of violations of religious freedom in the world today are directed against Christians. In effect, our era is witnessing the rise of a new generation of martyrs. Underlying the global war on Christians is the demographic reality that more than two-thirds of the world's 2.3 billion Christians now live outside the West, often as a beleaguered minority up against a hostile majority-- whether it's Islamic fundamentalism in the Middle East and parts of Africa and Asia, Hindu radicalism in India, or state-imposed atheism in China and North Korea. In Europe and North America, Christians face political and legal challenges to religious freedom. Allen exposes the deadly threats and offers investigative insight into what is and can be done to stop these atrocities. “This book is about the most dramatic religion story of the early 21st century, yet one that most people in the West have little idea is even happening: The global war on Christians,” writes John Allen. “We’re not talking about a metaphorical ‘war on religion’ in Europe and the United States, fought on symbolic terrain such as whether it’s okay to erect a nativity set on the courthouse steps, but a rising tide of legal oppression, social harassment and direct physical violence, with Christians as its leading victims. However counter-intuitive it may seem in light of popular stereotypes of Christianity as a powerful and sometimes oppressive social force, Christians today indisputably form the most persecuted religious body on the planet, and too often its new martyrs suffer in silence.” This book looks to shatter that silence.

Book excerpt: Lord, When? looks at the Second Coming from a Scriptural point of view, while examining the questions, objections, and various views of the Tribulation period and the Rapture of the Church. As the world draws closer to the Second Coming of our Lord, it is more important than ever that all Christians understand what the Bible says about this crucial doctrine.

Cobb brings a special and unique approach to these areas. He has taught four verse-by-verse expositional classes on the book of Revelation. His passion for scriptural clarity in eschatology has been the driving force behind Lord, When? Whether the information gathered is from him or other authors and experts in this area, Minister Cobb has taken great care to bring it all to bear against the backdrop of Holy Scripture—the final arbiter of all Christian doctrine.
Download or read book Seeing and savouring Jesus Christ written by JOHN PIPER and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who is Jesus Christ? You've never met Him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ - the divine Person revealed in the Bible - has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet. The depth and complexity of Jesus shatter our simple mental frameworks. He baffled proud scribes with his wisdom but was understood and loved by children. He calmed a raging storm with a word but would not get himself down from the cross. Look at the Jesus of the Bible. Keep your eyes open, and fill them with the portrait of Jesus in God's Word. Jesus said, "If anyone's will is to do God's will, He will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority." Ask God for the grace to do His will, and you will see the truth of His Son. John Piper has written this book in the hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else.
