Download or read book Is Sunday School Destroying Our Kids written by Samuel C Williamson and published by . This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we make grace part of Christian living? Does Sunday School encourage discipleship and teach our children faith? People in the world often reject Christianity simply because they can't distinguish it from mere morality. The world needs morality--oppression thrives when consciences are abandoned--but we need more than that alone. We need the gospel of grace. A gospel that has largely been lost amid the dos and don'ts and preoccupations of religious culture.12 Essays on the Distinction Between Grace and Morality Includes perspectives on topics such as: Why Do Our Children Leave the Church?Graceless Goodness: The Problem with MoralismThe False Gospel of "Just Do It"The Temptations of Christian PublishingThe Ugliness of Religious RighteousnessThe Insidious Danger of "I'd Never Do That"We Read the Bible the Wrong WayComments from Readers I like what Sam Williamson has to say about how good people--people like us--may be piling burdens on our children they can't possibly bear. Has the good news of the gospel magically morphed into bad news for them? Read Sam's provocative new book to find out. -Ann Spangler, Author, Praying the Names of God (and many other books) These days we hear so much and think so little. We consume without digesting and then wonder why our body is acting strangely. In this book, Sam helps us look carefully, graciously, and wonder-fully at the Gospel and the beliefs of our heart. -Gary Barkalow, founding director of The Noble Heart, and Author, It's Your Call. This has got to be one of the best books on raising Godly children (or simply new believers) I've ever read. Thank you. -Brian This is as clearly and as beautifully communicated as I have heard the Gospel for a long time. -Bob This is such an excellent read!!! I wish all Christians could read it. What a great blessing to see this truth presented in a way that it is so easily understood. Thank you for this thoughtful book. - Linda This is a fitting warning that Christian education could fall into moralization (and idolizing "heroes of faith"). The same warning is applicable even to the whole teaching/preaching ministry of many churches. - RayFrom the Book People often pit grace against moralism. And they should. Moralism circumvents heart-changed morality. We need moral men and women, but moralism damages the foundation of heart-change. It's okay to pit grace against moralism, but let's not pit grace against morality. Grace is the source of real morality, and grace--thank God!--breaks the bars of moralism that imprison us. Is Sunday School Destroying Our Kids? exposes moralism for its false pretensions--the sham that it is--and it moves our hearts to believe the gospel, for the first, or the hundred-and-first, time.Available in Print and eBook Editions Scroll up and order your copy now.
Download or read book The Case for Classical Christian Education written by Douglas Wilson and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2002-11-12 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newspapers are filled with stories about poorly educated children, ineffective teachers, and cash-strapped school districts. In this greatly expanded treatment of a topic he first dealt with in Rediscovering the Lost Tools of Learning, Douglas Wilson proposes an alternative to government-operated school by advocating a return to classical Christian education with its discipline, hard work, and learning geared to child development stages. As an educator, Wilson is well-equipped to diagnose the cause of America's deteriorating school system and to propose remedies for those committed to their children's best interests in education. He maintains that education is essentially religious because it deals with the basic questions about life that require spiritual answers-reading and writing are simply the tools. Offering a review of classical education and the history of this movement, Wilson also reflects on his own involvement in the process of creating educational institutions that embrace that style of learning. He details elements needed in a useful curriculum, including a list of literary classics. Readers will see that classical education offers the best opportunity for academic achievement, character growth, and spiritual education, and that such quality cannot be duplicated in a religiously-neutral environment.

Download or read book The Top Ten Problems Plaguing Mankind written by Eddie Duncan and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2024-09-29 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is impossible for a man to learn, what he thinks he already knows! Most Americans believe that the U.S government is protecting privacy rights and private property. The sad truth is, through the Act of 1871, the ten square miles known as the “business” District of Columbia, “the corporation” aka - THE UNITED STATES, was created, and is still defrauding sovereign Citizens, under its pseudo authority. Further, on June 5th, 1933 a third term Roosevelt administration and an obedient Congress, “fundamentally” changed our government, by “Resolution”! Through HJR 192-The New Deal, our “Public Servants” abandoned their duty to the supreme office holder, the sovereign Citizen. And instead, initiated (their)“Public Policy”! That Roosevelt administration, took advantage of its’ pseudo authority and effectively duped the masses, by resolution, then, enacted the treasonous provisions of the “New Deal”! And, all provisions of that New Deal “resolution” are in force and effect, as evidenced by your Socialist number attached to “YOUR NAME”, aka your (corporate identity).Yet few Americans are actually aware of, that grand deception. We the People, were dealt a foreign judicial system, which overturned the original“chain of command”, and now, unlawfully prosecutes all “Public Policy” violations. Liberty, precious, God given liberty, cannot be infringed upon, simply because “our” representatives, have chosen to allow their agents to violate privacy rights and misapply commercial codes, above the inherent rights of the sovereign People. In this country, one is considered to be a criminal, if one is cited, not wearing a seat belt. And, if you fail to pay the agency, “claiming criminal behavior”, they will arrest you! Even though, there is no victim, no verified complaint, no indictment, no felonious act, and no exigent circumstances existed, to condone your abduction. Are you proud of the fact that this government can and will take your neighbors’ home, or your home, for taxes that neither, lawfully owe? Are you proud that our young men and women are dying and killing, in a foreign land, for no valid reason? Are you proud of “YOUR”- CORPORATE IDENTITY and all liabilities, contingencies and conditions associated with “YOUR” matriculated, socialist, indebted status? Are you proud of the fact that two men, Clarence Thomas and Anthony Scalia chose to ignore the national vote total, and “chose” instead, a Republican Candidate, over, and against the will and mandate of the People, in the 2000 selection? Eternally, A Brother in Christ Quey Quay Eddie Duncan
