Download or read book Big Buts of the Bible written by Darin Michael Shaw and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-05-05 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You've wanted to read your Bible more often. You've wanted to get more out of it when you do. In his debut book, Big Buts of the Bible: A Revealing Look at Jesus Christ, Pastor Darin Michael Shaw introduces a tremendous tool to that end--the little three-letter conjunction but. Discover Jesus as he's revealed through the 183 appearances of the word but in the Gospel of Matthew. The Bible is the best-selling book of all time. It's also among the least read books in our homes. Why is that? Many believe the Bible is an intimidating book, full of intimidating words and concepts. Consider the word but for a moment. Not very intimidating, is it? It's a little three-letter conjunction we use every day in almost every conversation. With each use it brings clarity to what is being communicated. The same is true where the written word is concerned; the same is true of your Bible. In Big Buts of the Bible: A Revealing Look at Jesus Christ the author demystifies Bible passages with warmth, humor and bedside manner. The genius of the book is that it's equally relevant for long time Bible readers and curious newcomers.

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 The Big Story written by Justin Buzzard and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2013-05-15 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How would you explain your life to a stranger? When strangers meet today, they often ask not, "What do you do?" but, "What is your story?" Everybody on the planet believes some larger story in order to make sense of the smaller story of his or her life. We want our lives to fit within a larger plot—a plot full of history, forward movement, and future. So, the better question to ask is, "What sort of story are you in?" Most people believe false stories that leave them disillusioned, enslaved, and hopeless. Secular stories of chasing success and religious stories of doing good works leave us feeling exhausted and empty. Only Christianity offers a story that's big enough to make sense of both the beauty and brokenness in our lives and in our world.
