Download or read book With Calvin in the Theater of God written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Calvin saw this world as God's theater where his glory is always on display. Just as "day and night pour forth speech," the universe and history are not silent either; they tell the glory of God. Reflecting on over 500 years of Calvin's legacy, John Piper and this book's other contributors invite us to join Calvin in the theater of God. Stemming from the Desiring God 2009 National Conference, this volume includes chapters by Julius Kim, Douglas Wilson, Marvin Olasky, Mark Talbot, Sam Storms, and John Piper. It touches on topics such as Calvin's life, the Christian meaning of public life, sin and suffering, the joy of the last resurrection, and Jesus Christ as the dénouement of God's story. Editors John Piper and David Mathis, along with the contributors, make John Calvin's Christ-exalting perspective on the glory of God accessible to today's readers. Both Calvinists and other evangelicals interested in the life and work of Calvin will find these essays refreshing and instructive, leading to a robust understanding of the world as the theater of God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Given to Christ, and Other Sermons The rev. John Woon pratt, D.D., was born at St. Mary's, Georgia, on the 12th of May, 1827. He sprang from an honored ancestry; on his father's side from the grand old Puritan stock recognized as the chief glory of Old and New England, and on his mother's from the English gentry, that class which has been called more noble than The Nobles. His father, the Rev. Horace S. Pratt, was a Presbyterian min ister and Professor of English Literature in the University of Alabama at the time of his death in 1840. His mother, Jane Wood, died when he was only one year old, so that his maternal training devolved upon his second mother - a most intelligent, godly, and in every way estimable woman. His early youth gave indications of the ability which marked his after-life. When only seventeen he graduated with distinguished honor at the Uni versity of Alabama. While a mere boy he consecrated himself to the service of Christ, and very soon resolved to prepare himself for that profession in which he became pre-eminent. Having completed his theological course at Princeton, N. J., he was licensed by the Presbytery of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, May 6, 1848, six days before he reached his majority. The youthful preacher soon attracted attention by his discourses, which were rich in elo quent diction and sound instruction. He was called to the church at Marion, Alabama, in October, 1849. Such was his aptness to teach that he was elected to the Professorship which had been made vacant by the death of his father ten years before, viz., that of English Literature and belles-lettres. He accepted this position and became distinguished for the clearness of his instruo tions, and at the same time an eminent example of the art of elo quence which he taught.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Courage of the Coward: And Other Sermons These sermons, whatever other defects they may have, are free from pretence and affectation. They are born of their mood. They were preached in the months that followed restoration to work after an interruption, through illness, which lasted more than a year. These were days when, after looking death in the face, the preacher had drawn very near to God. And, without wear ing his heart upon his sleeve, from Sunday to Sun day he allowed the experience through which he had passed to colour his preaching. He did not pretend that a revelation from heaven had been granted to him which entitled him to pose as the author of a new pocket-gospel for mankind. He only felt a little more sure about the Old Gospel which it was his business in the world to preach. He did not dream that no man had ever been ill before him, or that he was the first to discover that there was comfort in Christ! But certain experi ences had been his which had led him through dazed wonder to settled peace. So he Spoke to his friends, spoke simply, about some of the deepest things in life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sermons and Addresses David Edwards Beach was the eldest son of Rev. Edwards Abbott and Rhoda Churchill Beach, and was born at Stephentown, N. Y., November 13th, 1833. His mother was a daughter of Rev. Silas Churchill, of New Lebanon, N. Y., and the grand-daughter of Rev. Joshua Belden, of Newington, Ct., so that he was the fourth in the ministerial office in the direct line of descent His father was a graduate of Amherst College and of Auburn Theological Seminary, and was first settled in Stephentown, N. Y., removing to Homer, Ohio, in 1843. Here the eldest son united with the church at twelve years of age. A brother writes, "Though so young, this step was taken with a purpose which became the controlling and inspiring force in all his future life. The traits which marked his manhood had their beginning in his early years; and it is here, in the whole-hearted purpose with which he chose the Master whose service he entered, that we must find the key to the life which he lived. While a boy, the thorough performance of every task was a matter of conscience. He played with as much zest as other boys, yet pleasure could never win from him the time which he felt belonged to work or study.

Download or read book Expository Exultation written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2018-04-16 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “God has appointed preaching in worship as one great means of accomplishing his ultimate goal in the world.” —John Piper John Piper makes a compelling claim in these pages about the purpose of preaching: it is intended not merely as an explanation of the text but also as a means of awakening worship by being worship in and of itself. Christian preaching is a God-appointed miracle aiming to awaken the supernatural seeing, savoring, and showing of the glory of Christ. Distilling over forty years of experience in preaching and teaching, Piper shows preachers how and what to communicate from God’s Word, so that God’s purpose on earth will advance through Biblesaturated, Christ-exalting, God-centered preaching—in other words, expository exultation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reason, Faith, and Duty: Sermons Preached Chiefly in the College Chapel Should there be found any one to ask, "Who was James Walker?" there are many to answer, "He was the man who first made me believe that religion is a real thing: in my college days, the strength of his logic, and the majesty of his earnestness, took my mind and heart captive." Others, whose memories go back further, will reply, "More than all men else, he was 'a son of consolation' when my house was left unto me desolate." And they will add, "He built up a strong parish from slender beginnings; his church in Charlestown stood like a lighthouse to warn the young, from far and near, of their perils; wherever he preached, he was listened to as if men saw in his every look and word the unmistakable credentials of a 'great ambassador.' In the homes of the people he was simple as a child, yet profound as a philosopher; at one moment overflowing with pungent humor, his countenance the next moment eloquent with pathetic seriousness." He was a man unrivalled in sententious conversation, one who, in later life, drew toward him the mingled homage and respect of the learned men around him in other chairs of the College which he honored successively as Professor and President; the man on whose counsel the student pre-eminently relied, when his mind was vexed with those problems which concern themselves with the conduct of life, or the choice of a profession.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from National Faults: A Sermon, Delivered in the Chapel of Yale College, on Fast Day, April 6th, 1860 He who loves his country and loves the interests of humanity, which Providence has committed to her keeping, will watch with most anxiety, the principles that inspire the heart of the nation. Are they the eternal principles on the recognition of which God has made the welfare, nay, the permanent existence of a nation to depend? From a fidelity to these principles, which are the ground-work of our history, our renown as well as our happiness must be derived. What have we to win the esteem of our fellow men? We have no pre-eminence with respect to natural scenery, even if merit could be derived from the configuration of the land; we have no immense libraries to commemorate the wisdom and the folly of the past; we have no galleries of art - store-houses of beauty - such as the older countries can exhibit; our literature, however promising, is meagre when we are compared with the foremost of the nations. We have nothing to gain for us special honor in the view of mankind, but our moral and religious principles; by these we have earned our fame. When these are gone, we lose our power to command the respect of the world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sunday Evenings in the College Chapel: Sermons to Young Men To C. W. E. Severest critic, best of listeners, Questioning all things with perennial youth, Quick to detect when faulty logic errs, Yet quicker to discern each note of truth; Men call you unimpassioned, cold, and stern, The last survivor of the Puritan, They little know the sympathies that burn For every worthy cause or troubled man. Straight to its mark your candid counsel flies, Its shaft of judgment tipped with kind desire, And those it pierces still unwounded rise, Chastened but strong, and purified by fire. Along the coast where we have lived together, There comes at evening-time, in summer weather, A hush of Nature, when the sighing firs Cease their complaining, and no land-breeze stirs The drowsy ocean; while the burnished bay Mirrors the splendor of the dying day. So, After many And Tempestuous Years, And many an angry gale of doubts and fears, The hostile breezes slacken and then cease; The harbor-lights are lit, of love and peace; And life's calm evening settles over you As sunset gathers over Asticou.

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.
Download or read book The Legacy of sovereign joy written by JOHN PIPER and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An uplifting look at three famous and flawed fathers of the Christian church and how their lives can inspire us to fall in love with God and find the power to overcome our weaknesses. Augustine grappled with sexual passion. Martin Luther struggled to control his tongue. John Calvin fought the battle of faith with the world's weapons. Yet despite their failings, each man will always be remembered as a founding father to the Christian faith because of the messages they declared. And even with their deaths hundreds of years ago, their messages still speak today. John Piper explores each man's life, integrating Augustine's delight in God with Luther's emphasis on the Word and Calvin's exposition of Scriptures. Through their strengths and struggles, he teaches us how to better live today, for when we consider their lives, we behold the glory and majesty of God - and in that, find the power to overcome our weaknesses.

This book was released on 2016-07-23 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Baccalaureate Sermon Preached Before the Class of 1894 of Princeton College, on Sunday, June Tenth, 1894 This hall is both a gift and a memorial. It is a gift to a noble and enduring institution. It is a tribute to Princeton College, to the students who give it life and energy, to the graduates who have done it honor, to the officers who have been faithful to its great tra ditions, to the learning which in Princeton has alwaysfound a home. May I not say that it is in a peculiar sense a tribute to its President, whose words were the inspiration of the idea [cheers], and whose work for both religion and learning have been a cause of admiration, and a motive to generosity in the mind of the giver. It is Mrs. Alexander's hope that this hall may al ways be a centre of University activity. Here, as the years go by, graduates will take leave of their col lege. Here the friends of science, and of letters, and of the arts may assemble. Here also will doubtless be heard the voices of those who return from various fields after harvests of inquiry and discovery. It is not a temple of religion, but in a very real sense it is dedicated to the cause of truth. And it is the desire of the giver that nothing Shall find welcome here but that which is in conformity to the will of Him who is the Truth Incarnate.

Download or read book A History of Preaching Volume 1 written by Rev. O.C. Edwards JR. and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2016-04-25 with total page 824 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Preaching brings together narrative history and primary sources to provide the most comprehensive guide available to the story of the church's ministry of proclamation. Bringing together an impressive array of familiar and lesser-known figures, Edwards paints a detailed, compelling picture of what it has meant to preach the gospel. Pastors, scholars, and students of homiletics will find here many opportunities to enrich their understanding and practice of preaching. Volume 1 contains Edwards's magisterial retelling of the story of Christian preaching's development from its Hellenistic and Jewish roots in the New Testament, through the late-twentieth century's discontent with outdated forms and emphasis on new modes of preaching such as narrative. Along the way the author introduces us to the complexities and contributions of preachers, both with whom we are already acquainted, and to whom we will be introduced here for the first time. Origen, Chrysostom, Augustine, Bernard, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, Wesley, Edwards, Rauschenbusch, Barth; all of their distinctive contributions receive careful attention. Yet lesser-known figures and developments also appear, from the ninth-century reform of preaching championed by Hrabanus Maurus, to the reference books developed in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries by the mendicant orders to assist their members' preaching, to Howell Harris and Daniel Rowlands, preachers of the eighteenth-century Welsh revival, to Helen Kenyon, speaking as a layperson at the 1950 Yale Beecher lectures about the view of preaching from the pew. Volume 2, available separately as 9781501833786, contains primary source material on preaching drawn from the entire scope of the church's twenty centuries. The author has written an introduction to each selection, placing it in its historical context and pointing to its particular contribution. Each chapter in Volume 2 is geared to its companion chapter in Volume 1's narrative history. Ecumenical in scope, fair-minded in presentation, appreciative of the contributions that all the branches of the church have made to the story of what it means to develop, deliver, and listen to a sermon, A History of Preaching will be the definitive resource for anyone who wishes to preach or to understand preaching's role in living out the gospel. "...'This work is expected to be the standard text on preaching for the next 30 years,' says Ann K. Riggs, who staffs the NCC's Faith and Order Commission. Author Edwards, former professor of preaching at Seabury-Western Theological Seminary, is co-moderator of the commission, which studies church-uniting and church-dividing issues. 'A History of Preaching is ecumenical in scope and will be relevant in all our churches; we all participate in this field,' says Riggs...." from EcuLink, Number 65, Winter 2004-2005 published by the National Council of Churches
