Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this project, Baiyu Andrew Song explores the mentorship of China's first ordained indigenous evangelist, Liang Fa (1789-1855), by Scottish Presbyterian missionary William Milne (1785-1822) in the early nineteenth century. The biblically and contextually informed model of mentorship Milne employed is examined in detail, which is placed in the historical setting of Milne and Liang's time. This project is particularly important in that it pioneers historical study in the area of the early protestant church history in China, specifically in regard to William Milne.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Voice From China WE have just reached the close of the first hundred years of Protestant missions in China, and I wish to call attention to the contrast between the present and the past. If we compare the state of things to-day with the state of things existing in China in Dr. Morrison's day, we shall be able to some extent to realise how great is the work which has been wrought of God during this period in that great empire. We may also notice that the progress of Christian missions in China is but typical of the advance that has been made throughout the world in the same period.

Book excerpt: The digital copies of these recordings are available for free at First Fruits website. place.asburyseminary.edu/firstfruits INTRODUCTION The question naturally arises, "What is the thing buried?" The Bible is its own dictionary, leaving us without excuse. Lord give us the submissive humility of Ii ttle Samuel w horn Thou didst call to the prophetic office in his infancy and he meekly re-sponded, "Speak Lord, for Thy servant heareth." V-l e all came into this world ignorant as pigs and puppies; knowing nothing at all except Thou didst teach us. By this wonderful Word we are saved, sanctified, fed, panoplied, have the victory and will be judged in the great day. It is silly and foolish in us to study the Bible from a creedistical standpoint; as we are all hastening to the bar of God where we will be judged by the Bible alone. Therefore we should be dead to every clamor of human voice. Between us and the inspired Biblical authors, inter-venes a period of eighteen hundred years, one thou-sand years of which is a black night with nothing but sacerdotalism, superstition, ignorance and priest-craft; during which the priest that could invent the most ceremonies, was considered the smartest. In view of this fact, this long dismal night intervening between us and the Apostolic Age, should be an ample admonition to us all to leap over the inter-vening chasm on the wings of triumphant faith, light down amid the effulgent blaze of pure and un-adulterated inspired truth and shout the praises of God for His unutterable goodness, thus perfectly fortifying us against all the superstitious innovations of sacerdotalism and permitting us to stand face to face with our blessed heavenly Father on the sure foundation of His infallible Word and hear Him speak, as he did to Moses on Mt. Sinai. when He revealed His truth and Moses wrote it on- tables of stone. Then let the battle cry ring around the world, "Back to the Bible. W. B. Godbey
Download or read book Called to Bless written by Robert D. Cornwall and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-09-29 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does your spiritual DNA look like? In terms of your spiritual identity, where do you come from and where are you going? We live in an age when many Christians have experienced several denominational and religious communities. Many wonder what to do with these experiences. At the same time many congregations are made up of people who come from different traditions, and the question is how to bring these diverse experiences into the life of the congregation in an enriching way. If we take as our starting point, the call of Abraham and Sarah to take a journey to an unknown land with the promise that their descendants would be a blessing to the nations, what might this look like in terms of our spiritual lives? Join with the author as he draws on his spiritual journey that has taken him into several denominational traditions, as well as his experiences as a pastor and historical theologian, to discern values and concepts that can help congregations and individuals make sense of their diverse spiritual experiences, so that together we might fulfill the Abrahamic calling, reaffirmed in Christ, to be a blessing to the nations.

Download or read book The Next Mormons written by Jana Riess and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Millennials--the generation born in the 1980s and 1990s--have been leaving organized religion in unprecedented numbers. For a long time, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was an exception: nearly three-quarters of people who grew up Mormon stayed that way into adulthood. In The Next Mormons, Jana Riess demonstrates that things are starting to change. Drawing on a large-scale national study of four generations of current and former Mormons as well as dozens of in-depth personal interviews, Riess explores the religious beliefs and behaviors of young adult Mormons, finding that while their levels of belief remain strong, their institutional loyalties are less certain than their parents' and grandparents'. For a growing number of Millennials, the tensions between the Church's conservative ideals and their generation's commitment to individualism and pluralism prove too high, causing them to leave the faith-often experiencing deep personal anguish in the process. Those who remain within the fold are attempting to carefully balance the Church's strong emphasis on the traditional family with their generation's more inclusive definition that celebrates same-sex couples and women's equality. Mormon families are changing too. More Mormons are remaining single, parents are having fewer children, and more women are working outside the home than a generation ago. The Next Mormons offers a portrait of a generation navigating between traditional religion and a rapidly changing culture.
