Sample Text Daily Devotion for: FEBRUARY 1 THESE ARE THEY Then he said to me, "These are they who have come out of the great ordeal; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." (Revelation 7:14b) Read Revelation 7:13-17 Lying back to front, shackled neck and foot, inhaling odors of decaying flesh and salty tears, hearing groans of captive humanity, gazing into darkness and seeing reflections of hopelessness for 3,700 miles would cause most human beings to focus only on the end of time. During 350 years of 54,000 transatlantic slave voyages, lasting five to twelve weeks each, twelve million North African men, women, and children from many nations floated in terror in the midst of a great crucible called the Middle Passage. Approximately two million died from starvation, malnutrition, murder, and mutiny. Millions of survivors were traded for tobacco, molasses, animals, and cheap labor in North America, South America, and the Caribbean in openair markets, stripped of the last vestige of their humanity. An imprisoned John, the writer of Revelation, describes another Middle Passage for seven churches in Asia Minor--Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea. John speaks of the promise of ultimate deliverance from persecution to everyone who believes in God regardless of their situation. The faithful will endure accusations, humiliation, beatings, famine, disease, and even death as they await the promise of eternal life. After these catastrophic events, God's promise is that those from every nation will receive a cleansing, healing bath in the blood of Jesus and will never again endure hunger, thirst, heat, or tears. The slavery of sin will be vanquished. All will be welcomed before God's throne of protection. All will worship God regardless of what they have endured. The Middle Passage of many enslaved Africans ended generations later as sons and daughters became doctors, inventors, teachers, politicians, athletes, entertainers, preachers, and astronauts. The resiliency and character of survivors of the nightmare slavery enabled hope to shine through the darkness of the ships' hulls as they waited on the move of God. Prayer: Lord of all, enable us to persevere when we do not understand why we are going through situations or when difficulties will end. Amen.

Download or read book Oneness Embraced written by Tony Evans and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2015-09-24 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oneness is hard to achieve. Let the kingdom unity of Scripture point the way. Today’s world is torn apart. Tension is everywhere. Brother is pitted against brother, sister against sister, citizen against citizen, even Christian against Christian. It’s so hard to find agreement—much less real harmony—in our polarized society. Can there be a way forward? Tony Evans knows how elusive unity can be. As a black man who’s also a leader in white evangelicalism, he understands how hard it can be to bring these worlds together. Yet he’s convinced that the gospel provides a way for Christians to find oneness despite the things that divide us. In the Word of God, we find a kingdom-based approach to matters of history, culture, the church, and social justice. In this book, you’ll get: A Biblical Look at Oneness A Historical View of the Black Church A Kingdom Vision for Societal Impact Although oneness is hard to achieve, the Christian must never stop striving. It’s a kingdom imperative. As Tony reminds us, “Glorifying God is our ultimate goal. Oneness exists to enable us to reach our goal.”
Download or read book Objects of Devotion written by Peter Manseau and published by Smithsonian Institution. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objects of Devotion: Religion in Early America tells the story of religion in the United States through the material culture of diverse spiritual pursuits in the nation's colonial period and the early republic. The beautiful, full-color companion volume to a Smithsonian National Museum of American History exhibition, the book explores the wide range of religious traditions vying for adherents, acceptance, and a prominent place in the public square from the 1630s to the 1840s. The original thirteen states were home to approximately three thousand churches and more than a dozen Christian denominations, including Anglicans, Baptists, Catholics, Congregationalists, Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians, and Quakers. A variety of other faiths also could be found, including Judaism, Islam, traditional African practices, and Native American beliefs. As a result, America became known throughout the world as a place where, in theory, if not always in practice, all are free to believe and worship as they choose. The featured objects include an 1814 Revere and Sons church bell from Salem, the Jefferson Bible, wampum beads, a 1654 Torah scroll brought to the New World, the only known religious text written by an enslaved African Muslim, and other revelatory artifacts. Together these treasures illustrate how religious ideas have shaped the country and how the treatment and practice of religion have changed over time. Objects of Devotion emphasizes how religion can be understood through the objects, both rare and everyday, around which Americans of every generation have organized their communities and built this nation.
Download or read book Devotions and Desires written by Gillian A. Frank and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a moment when "freedom of religion" rhetoric fuels public debate, it is easy to assume that sex and religion have faced each other in pitched battle throughout modern U.S. history. Yet, by tracking the nation's changing religious and sexual landscapes over the twentieth century, this book challenges that zero-sum account of sexuality locked in a struggle with religion. It shows that religion played a central role in the history of sexuality in the United States, shaping sexual politics, communities, and identities. At the same time, sexuality has left lipstick traces on American religious history. From polyamory to pornography, from birth control to the AIDS epidemic, this book follows religious faiths and practices across a range of sacred spaces: rabbinical seminaries, African American missions, Catholic schools, pagan communes, the YWCA, and much more. What emerges is the shared story of religion and sexuality and how both became wedded to American culture and politics. The volume, framed by a provocative introduction by Gillian Frank, Bethany Moreton, and Heather R. White and a compelling afterword by John D'Emilio, features essays by Rebecca T. Alpert and Jacob J. Staub, Rebecca L. Davis, Lynne Gerber, Andrea R. Jain, Kathi Kern, Rachel Kranson, James P. McCartin, Samira K. Mehta, Daniel Rivers, Whitney Strub, Aiko Takeuchi-Demirci, Judith Weisenfeld, and Neil J. Young.
