Download or read book Authentically Emergent written by R. Scott Smith and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-08-08 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are Brian McLaren, Tony Jones, Doug Pagitt, and Rob Bell “yesterday’s news,” as many evangelicals seem to think? Truth and the New Kind of Christian (2005) tried to provide a balanced assessment of McLaren’s and Jones’s views. But, they seem to be right about much more that is affecting evangelicals than was realized then. Also, that book misunderstood one of their core claims: everything is interpretation. Moreover, their views have developed over the years, e.g., ethically about colonialism, its influences, and how we should live now. They also have advanced several further claims about the gospel and traditional doctrines. To what extent should Christians embrace their views? Are these the ways to go forward toward a more authentic Christianity, one that is morally better, and a better fit, for our times? Like Truth, this book gives careful attention to their thought. It also offers its own portrait of major shaping influences on Western, Americanized Christianity. But, there remains a root issue that keeps the Western church, whether progressive emergents or evangelicals, in its “Babylonian captivity.” It is liberation from that root that will lead to an authentically emergent Christianity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

Download or read book The Art of Marketing Jesus written by Robert Wachter and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-07-21 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus is the most attractive person in human history. Professional fishermen dropped everything to follow him. Social outcasts were transformed into outspoken ambassadors; sinners, repulsed by their religious leaders, were drawn to Jesus by the scores. Today, everyday believers are called to attract people to Jesus. But how do we do that? God's plan to reach the world is not through commercialism or trendy marketing gimmicks--it's through you. However, some are caught in the performance trap of doing more and trying harder to please God, which produces the unintended consequences of spiritual brokenness and judgmental attitudes that render the believer ineffective at reflecting the heart of God. The Art of Marketing Jesus is an easy-to-understand spiritual growth process that has helped many believers internalize the life-giving promises of the new covenant and produce an abundance of love, joy, and peace in their lives--which is precisely the attitudes and characteristics required to attract people to Jesus. If you want to live free and attract more people to Jesus, perhaps it's time to become a new wineskin. It's time to say goodbye to old thoughts that keep you in bondage and place your light on the lampstand of spiritual freedom.

Download or read book The Father s Heart on Homosexuality written by Walter L. Smith III and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-02-09 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Father’s Heart on Homosexuality seeks to build strong community bridges for eternity, by effectively and efficiently ministering to the needs of the most vulnerable in society. The Rev. Walter L. Smith III sends a clear and concise message to society about God’s perfect, unrelenting, and unchanging love for faithfully redeeming LGBTQIA+ persons who are hurting, lost, confused, and struggling. His commitment to supporting the LGBTQIA+ and Christian communities began after a special invitation from a relative (by marriage) that shared his desires to build community bridges, conduct targeted discipleship, and advocate on behalf of the most vulnerable in the LGBTQIA+ community in Louisville, Kentucky. In this book, the author answers questions such as: • Why is “image” the starting point of all healthy spiritual development? • What does Paul mean by “the Spirit gives life”? • What does it mean to be genuine and authentic in your relationship with God? • What about the LGBTQIA genuinely breaks the Father’s heart? If you actively refuse to receive God’s Perfect Substitutionary Sacrifice and Gift through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, nothing in this life will properly heal, be restored or will ever be completely made whole on yours or my behalf. You’ll remain separated from Almighty God, with your besetting sins that will eventually destroy you, and you’ll regret choosing to spend all of eternity literally, physically and eternally tormented by choices to live your life contrary to the Word of God bound in the devil’s hell.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One moment in time can change the course of our whole lives. On July 31, 1999, life as she knew it stopped for Hedy Wiebe. While she and a friend were driving on a Manitoba highway, a van ran a stop sign, and they hit the passenger side of the van head-on with enough force to send them rolling. Sitting in the passenger seat, Hedy suffered extreme trauma to both her body and her mind. Her injuries included broken ribs and ankles, abdominal trauma, tendon and muscle injuries. Add a closed head injury and it would take years of rehabilitation before she could truly begin to heal. Throughout the trauma, God’s presence and the blessing of ministering angels kept Hedy’s spirit alert and vibrant. Dealing with the pain, the frustration, and the discouragement gave her a new understanding of Christ being courage deep in our hearts. There’s a Place Deep inside Called Courage will inspire readers in all seasons of life to seek God’s healing touch and to trust Him completely to meet every need. It is a testimony of faith to the glory of God.

Download or read book Discipleship written by David Watson and published by Hodder & Stoughton. This book was released on 2014-05-22 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians in the West', claims David Watson, 'have largely neglected what it means to be a disciple of Christ. The vast majority of western Christians are church-members, pew-fillers, hymn-singers, sermon-tasters, Bible-readers, even born-again believers or Spirit-filled charismatics, but not true disciples of Jesus.' 'The call to discipleship is a call to God's promised glory. This is not a day in which to play religious games. Time is running out fast.'
