Book excerpt: Comeback Cities shows how innovative, pragmatic tactics for ameliorating the nation's urban ills have produced results beyond anyone's expectations, reawakening America's toughest neighborhoods. In the past, big government and business working separately were unable to solve the inner city crisis. Today, a blend of public-private partnerships, grassroots nonprofit organizations, and a willingness to experiment characterize what is best among the new approaches to urban problem solving. Pragmatism, not dogma, has produced the charter-school movement and the police's new focus on "quality of life" issues. The new breed of big city mayors has welcomed business back into the city, stressed performance and results at city agencies, downplayed divisive racial politics, and cracked down on symptoms of social disorder. As a consequence, America's inner cities are becoming vital communities once again.

Book excerpt: God is calling forth a generation that is passionate for His presence. What does that look like and how can it be accomplished? Jaeson Ma offers a powerful vision of what God is radically doing in this generation.

It is time to see this manifested on every campus, in every city and in every nation. Through his own personal stories, student testimonies and practical biblical teaching, Ma envisions and practically equips student and staff leaders to change themselves and their campuses for Christ. Readers of The Blueprint will receive a clear vision for revival and reformation of society, a specific spiritual DNA (passion for prayer, power evangelism and planting simple churches) and practical tools to see the vision for reformation become a reality. That’s the plan. Now to see the revolution unfold!

Download or read book A Blueprint for Discipleship written by Kevin M. Watson and published by Discipleship Resources. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do no harm. Do good. Practice the spiritual disciplines. Watch over one another in love. --John Wesley's General Rules Why is this so hard? Does being a part of the Wesleyan tradition make any difference in living out your faith? Does Methodism offer guidance as we look to the future and seek renewal? Methodist Christians sometimes exhibit the most unchristian attitudes and behavior. People notice. And it's reflecting badly on the church, but we can--individually and collectively--correct the problem. Allow God to enter more deeply into your life until it's hard to tell where you end and God begins. "Most American Christians are struggling to practice their faith," Watson writes. "...Methodists can hold on and try not to let our tradition die, but mere survival is not God's deepest desire for us or the church. Instead, we must choose to live by stubbornly depending on God's Spirit, allowing our lives to give witness to who Christ is." A Blueprint for Discipleship offers a practical approach to Christian discipleship that's distinctly Wesleyan. Watson addresses the overwhelming desire of many Methodist Christians who want a more meaningful relationship with God but aren't sure how to start. Reawaken to the power and vitality of your spiritual heritage. Repent of apathy and spiritual complacency to reclaim, in the words of Wesley, "the form and power of godliness."

Book excerpt: Gary Wright has been more than a witness to God's outpouring of saving power...the Spirit has used him as a catalyst for outpourings! A hunger for God and the distinct, tangible, transformative power of His Presence was woven into the very fabric of Gary's life as he grew up. In his remarkable book, Gary gives us a Biblical and historical framework for God's outpourings. His personal stories about these supernatural seasons of revival-as a boy, as a student at Asbury during God's outpouring in 1970, in subsequent times during his ministry-are told with such humility and awe that we want to stop and bow our knees in the Lord's Presence, too. Gary also gives wise counsel for those who also want to see God move powerfully in their life, in their church and in their community with some Scriptural yet very practical teaching. Praise God for trusting Gary to share these stories and lessons!We long for Your outpourings, Lord! Again, Lord, again! --Dr. Tim Roehl, Gary's friend. President, "The Fit & Flourish Network"

Download or read book The Songs of Jesus written by Timothy Keller and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller writes the book his readers have been asking for: A year-long daily devotional, beautifully designed with gilt edges and a gold ribbon marker. The Book of Psalms is known as the Bible’s songbook—Jesus knew all 150 psalms intimately, and relied on them to face every situation, including his death. Two decades ago, Tim Keller began reading the entire Book of Psalms every month. The Songs of Jesus is based on his accumulated years of study, insight, and inspiration recorded in his prayer journals. Kathy Keller came to reading the psalms as a support during an extended illness. Together they have distilled the meaning of each verse, inviting readers into the vast wisdom of the psalms. If you have no devotional life yet, this book is a wonderful way to start. If you already spend time in study and prayer, understanding every verse of the psalms will bring you a new level of intimacy with God, unlocking your purpose within God’s kingdom.

Download or read book Who Shall Stand written by Gordon Ziegler and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-01-22 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twentieth century is over, and Jesus has not come. According to Ellen White, Jesus was supposed to come on two occasions in the nineteenth century [after 1844 (GC458; 1SM 68-69) and after 1888]. We all expected Him to come in the twentieth century. But in neither century did Jesus come. Why could Jesus not come in those centuries? The time of His coming depends not alone on taking the gospel to the world. All the satellite Nets and missionary journeys in the world alone will not fulfill the Plan A Conditions of Christ’s coming. His people should accept His help to get over their apostasy, worldliness, and unbelief. They must have a thorough revival and reformation to prepare the way for the latter rain and a fire storm evangelization of the world. On the other hand, how do we know that Jesus does not have a Plan B?—a coming to an unready church (Isaiah 66:15-19)? This is a sobering question. The greatest need today is a revival and reformation among the people of God. When that happens, the way will be cleared for the abundant outpouring of the Latter Rain of the Holy Spirit. When that occurs, the gospel will be proclaimed with astonishing power. The world will be fully warned, and Christ can then come quickly to end the sin problem and take his people home to heaven. How can such a revival and reformation be obtained? In two remarkable articles in the Review and Herald (November 10, 1896 and February 4, 1902), both entitled "A Test of Gratitude and Loyalty," Ellen White outlined a guaranteed blueprint for revival and reformation. The Lord showed her what would be effective in bringing about such an experience. The blueprint called for a study of Daniel in connection with the smaller prophets, especially Malachi,

Download or read book Revival and Awakening written by Adam H. Becker and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-03-11 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Americans have little understanding of the relationship between religion and nationalism in the Middle East. They assume that the two are rooted fundamentally in regional history, not in the history of contact with the broader world. However, as Adam H. Becker shows in this book, Americans—through their missionaries—had a strong hand in the development of a national and modern religious identity among one of the Middle East's most intriguing (and little-known) groups: the modern Assyrians. Detailing the history of the Assyrian Christian minority and the powerful influence American missionaries had on them, he unveils the underlying connection between modern global contact and the retrieval of an ancient identity. American evangelicals arrived in Iran in the 1830s. Becker examines how these missionaries, working with the “Nestorian” Church of the East—an Aramaic-speaking Christian community in the borderlands between Qajar Iran and the Ottoman Empire—catalyzed, over the span of sixty years, a new national identity. Instructed at missionary schools in both Protestant piety and Western science, this indigenous group eventually used its newfound scriptural and archaeological knowledge to link itself to the history of the ancient Assyrians, which in time led to demands for national autonomy. Exploring the unintended results of this American attempt to reform the Orient, Becker paints a larger picture of religion, nationalism, and ethnic identity in the modern era.

Download or read book Your Best Life Later written by Andy McQuitty and published by . This book was released on 2021-11 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What every parent intent on raising serious Christ-followers needs to know and pass along to their children. Open the pages of this journal and enhance your spiritual maturity in walking with God through daily Bible study and prayer that refreshes the soul, keeps your life anchored, and stayed on Jesus, the Vine, so you'll bear fruitfulness and ensure your best life later. Spiritual maturity is for those who "Watch daily at My Doors" (Proverbs 8:34). This is what these devotional journal entries are all about. If there was ever a time to watch daily at God's Doors, it is now, as we watch the world around us engulfed in fear change right in front of us. Each journal is presented as a daily devotional for edification, inspiration, and perseverance to jumpstart the daily discipline needed to spend time with God, in His Word, and in prayer. Imagine these journals were written to you personally and pass these Godly messages along to your children as part of your legacy and their heritage from a Godly parent. It will ensure you live your best life later. REVIEWS: At the young age of 30, Andy McQuitty began journaling words of wisdom for each of his five children-on topics including discipline, marriage, authentic faith, work ethic, politics, and so much more. He gave each child their journal as a surprise when he took them to college-and now the content has made its way into a book to impact others. I've always admired Andy McQuitty, and now my admiration is even greater. His journals were unquestionably an expression of unconditional love-from a father seeking to share what he believed to be wise counsel. This book is a genuine treasure, with insights that are just as relevant today as they were several decades ago. Readers will be blessed by what this father shared with his children, and many parents will be inspired and led by the Lord to follow Andy's example. - JAMES ROBISON Founder and President, LIFE Outreach International Fort Worth, Texas Your Best Life Later is a refreshing glimpse into the heart of a father who has God's best in mind for his children. The excerpts of Andy McQuitty's journals gifted to his children are full of intentionality, humility, transparency, and a vulnerable authenticity not often found in a leader. My friend Andy is a man who sought to pastor his children and not just the churches he served. The book is a good model for those who want to be godly mentors. - Mark Bailey President, Dallas Theological Seminary (Ret.) We all need people in our walk with Christ that are further along to help shepherd us along His path. We also need people that may be a few steps behind us so that we can pass down our own experience and knowledge and put those tools to use for the Kingdom. This book by my friend Andy McQuitty serves as both. It beautifully outlines lessons in life that we may learn for ourselves and pass down to others. The truth and vulnerability displayed in these pages are great reminders of both God's love for us and the love we must share with others. - Justin Leonard 1997 PGA Open Champion
