Download or read book But God written by Casey Lute and published by Cruciform Press. This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just two words: "But God..." Understand their use in Scripture and you'll never be the same. Whether from the pen of Moses, Paul, or other biblical authors, "But God" appears in various forms hundreds of times in the Bible. To understand these two words as they are used in Scripture is to understand the gospel. This book focuses on nine of the most important appearances of this key phrase, drawing in numerous other passages of Scripture and in the process unfolding the magnificent drama of God's sovereign grace--from his mercy on Noah to our security in a resurrected Savior. James Montgomery Boice wrote, "May I put it quite simply? If you understand those two words--'but God'--they will save your soul. If you recall them daily and live by them, they will transform your life completely." Boice was right. To the left of "But God" in Scripture appear some of the worst human atrocities, characterized by disobedience and rebellion. To the left of "But God" is hopelessness, darkness, and death. But to its right, following "But God," readers of Scripture will find hope, light, and life. Following God's intervention, the story of Scripture becomes one of grace, righteousness, and justice. In fact, this phrase is used to describe God's activity in nearly every great salvation story in the Bible. It is the perfect phrase for highlighting God's grace against the dark backdrop of human sin. "But God" marks God's relentless, merciful interventions in human history. It teaches us that God does not wait for us to bring ourselves to him, but that he acts first to bring about our good. It also teaches us of the potential consequences if God were not to act. Scripture shows over and over that without God's intervening grace, without the "But God" statements in the Bible, the world would be completely lost in sin and under judgment. May the reading of this book, and of the biblical "But God" statements it contains, cause you to understand these two words, recall them regularly, and allow them to transform your understanding of God's grace and thus transform your very life.
Download or read book Salvation is from the Jews John 4 22 written by Aaron Milavec and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up in an ethnic suburb in Cleveland, Aaron Milavec was an impressionable adolescent whose religious and cultural influences made it natural for him to pity, blame, and despise Jews. All of that began to change in 1955 when Mr. Martin, a Jewish merchant, hired Milavec as a stock boy. Milavec's initial anxieties over working for a Jew surprisingly gave way to profound personal admiration. This, in turn, plunged Milavec into a troubling theological dilemma: How could God consign Mr. Martin to eternal hellfire due to his ancestral role in the death of Jesus when it was clear that Mr. Martin would not harm me, a Christian, even in small ways? This book is not for the faint-hearted. Most Christians imagine that the poison of anti-Judaism has been largely eliminated. In contrast, Milavec reveals how this poison has gone underground--disfiguring not only the role of Israel in God's plan of salvation but also horribly twisting the faith, the forgiveness, and the salvation that Christians find through Jesus Christ. This painful realization serves as the necessary first step for our healing. At each step of the way, Milavec's sure hand builds bridges of mutual understanding that enable both Christians and Jews to cross the chasm of distrust and distortion that has infected both church and synagogue over the centuries. In the end, Milavec securely brings his readers to that place where Rabbinic Judaism and Christianity can again be admired as sister religions intimately united to one other in God's drama of salvation.

Book excerpt: “A warm-hearted story of one woman’s journey from a dark and abusive childhood into the light of acceptance and love” from the author of Relative Happiness (Atlantic Books Today). Can you really move forward without putting the past to rest? Grace Willingdon has everything she needs. For fifteen years she’s lived in a trailer overlooking Bras d’Or Lake in postcard-perfect Baddeck, Cape Breton, with Fletcher Parsons, a giant teddy bear who’s not even her husband. But Grace’s blissful life is rudely interrupted when her estranged son calls from New York City, worried about his teenaged daughter. Before she knows it, Grace finds herself the temporary guardian of her self-absorbed, city-slicker granddaughter, Melissa. Trapped between a past she’s been struggling to resolve and a present that keeps her on her toes, Grace decides to finally tell her story. Either the truth will absolve her—or cost her everything. Crackling with Lesley Crewe’s celebrated wit and humor, Amazing Grace is a heartfelt tale of enduring love and forgiveness, and the deep roots of family. “Examines the roots of family and whether a person can move on with their life if they haven’t put the past to bed . . . Crewe’s books are rich with detail, wit and understanding of how family and its roots impact on people’s lives.” —Cape Breton Post “Absolutely amazing . . . What a story. What a life, Amazing Grace had. As a side note, Amazing Grace, the book, put me in in a book slump—nothing seemed good enough.” —Cambridge Times

Download or read book Love s Next Meeting written by Aaron Lecklider and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-05-02 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How queerness and radical politics intersected—earlier than you thought. Well before Stonewall, a broad cross section of sexual dissidents took advantage of their space on the margins of American society to throw themselves into leftist campaigns. Sensitive already to sexual marginalization, they also saw how class inequality was exacerbated by the Great Depression, witnessing the terrible bread lines and bread riots of the era. They participated in radical labor organizing, sympathized like many with the early prewar Soviet Union, contributed to the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War, opposed US police and state harassment, fought racial discrimination, and aligned themselves with the dispossessed. Whether they were themselves straight, gay, or otherwise queer, they brought sexual dissidence and radicalism into conversation at the height of the Left's influence on American culture. Combining rich archival research with inventive analysis of art and literature, Love’s Next Meeting explores the relationship between homosexuality and the Left in American culture between 1920 and 1960. Aaron S. Lecklider uncovers a lively cast of individuals and dynamic expressive works, revealing remarkably progressive engagement with homosexuality among radicals, workers, and the poor. Leftists connected sexual dissidence with radical gender politics, antiracism, and challenges to censorship and obscenity laws through the 1920s and 1930s. In the process, a wide array of activists, organizers, artists, and writers laid the foundation for a radical movement through which homosexual lives and experiences were given shape and new political identities were forged. Love's Next Meeting cuts to the heart of some of the biggest questions in American history: questions about socialism, about sexuality, about the supposed clash still making headlines today between leftist politics and identity politics. What emerges is a dramatic, sexually vibrant story of the shared struggles for liberation across the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Bible Study through Hebrews Wow! What an amazing book of the Bible! All of Gods word is so pertinent to our lives today. It provides strength, courage, and hope. It also offers correction and edification that in our present time we would be able to stand, complete and fully equipped. Gods word keeps us ever mindful of His majesty, His sovereignty, and His incredible grace as He ever faithfully meets with, leads, and provides for His people. The book of Hebrews is such a powerful message of Gods truths and His eternal plan of redemption for a lost peopleyou and I. Not only are we blessed with amazing understanding as we delve into such wonderful questions such as: Who are angels? By what order was Jesus called High Priest? What is the difference between the priestly order under the law verses Melchizedek? What six elementary principles does the author have us address and why? And can you lose your salvation? There is so much to learn from Hebrews, and I assure you I could not begin to touch a fraction of it. Yet my prayer, my hope, is that after you have turned these pages, you too will be assured of Gods beautiful promise, His unfailing love, and His perfect plan for us, His children.

Download or read book Faith Examined written by Clark R. Bates and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-10-13 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book serves two purposes--to honor the apologist and author Dr. Frank Turek and, in the spirit of his ministry, present reasoned responses to challenges currently facing the church. Every year, for more than one decade, Dr. Turek has hosted the Cross Examined Instructors Academy (CIA) through his Cross Examined Ministries, wherein he leads a group of professors and apologists as they teach and train others in the field of apologetics. Several rising stars within the apologetics community began their ministries because of Dr. Turek and the CIA. The authors of this book were chosen from this ever-widening pool of CIA attendees, past and present, most of whom have gone on to academic instruction or their own successful apologetics ministries. Their contributions broadly address challenges from philosophy and science; challenges against Jesus and the Bible; and even challenges facing parents and the church. Many topics offer new approaches, while others reestablish existing responses, but all seek to provide answers to a skeptical world for the hope that rests within all Christians.

Download or read book Grace Is Not a Rocking Chair written by Aaron Hopson and published by Booksurge Publishing. This book was released on 2005-11-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Aaron Hopson was compelled to write Grace Is Not A Rocking Chair after experiencing a truly Divine inspiration. The message he received was clear: Accepting Christ is not enough and only through the most sincere and soul-searching honesty and repentance-and the disavowal of the hypocrisy that clouds our lives-can we call ourselves true Christians. So many followers live their lives depending on the once saved-always saved belief. Hopson puts forth a convincing and sobering argument that this belief could well be at the heart of our troubles. During his inspirational moments, the Lord guided him toward a clearer understanding of His displeasure with mankind's attitudes, with the duplicity and worldliness that is too often viewed as normalcy. If one turns his life over to Christ, does that free him to act as he chooses? Will he still be guaranteed his place in Heaven? According to the author, this was not the Lord's intention. We are all accountable to God, and to ourselves, for the way we live our lives. Saying 'I believe' is not enough. . .it is only the beginning.

Download or read book Talking Points written by Aaron S. Battle and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2020-12-04 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poetry of “Talking Points” is an edited version of the hundreds of “poetic essays” I’ve written in my adult lifetime. As would be expected, I’ve lived through several different “lens periods” in my life. From the political to the spiritual. From the romantic, to the downright delusional. Each poem represents “where my mind was” at that given time in my history. For example, the poem “Johannesburg Blues” was written about the strife in South Africa, before Nelson Mandela would emerge. The poem, “The Spirit Horse,” was written to honor my late Cherokee grandfather. During the seventies, when I was in my twenties, I read a survey from Random House Publishing, about the reading habits of different groups of Americans. When it came to poetry, the survey read, “College educated females, forty-five and over” were the largest reading group. I thought to myself, “Oh God, that’s the end of my career!”
