Book excerpt: Somewhere between the air-conditioned foyer and padded pews, Christianity lost its mantra: They who "live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." --J. J. Turner * Have Christians taken sanctuary in church buildings and complained about how dark it is outside? * Is there a mass exit from the battleship where the demands are tough, to a berth on the cruise ship where pleasure reigns? * How can you know if you are spiritually asleep? * Are Christians enduring hardships or making excuses? * Is Christianity about auditing God's word--or is it about being a doer of God's word? * What are some biblical examples of God's wake-up calls? * Are Christians responsible for attaining spiritual maturity?

Download or read book Church of Cowards written by Matt Walsh and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Would You Surrender for God? Christians in the Middle East, in much of Asia, and in Africa are still being martyred for the faith, but how many American Christians are willing to lay down their smartphones, let alone their lives, for the faith? Being a Christian in America doesn’t require much these days. Suburban megachurches are more like entertainment venues than places to worship God. The lives that American “Christians” lead aren’t much different from those of their atheist neighbors, and their knowledge of theology isn’t much better either. Matt Walsh of The Daily Wire exposes the pitiful state of Christianity in America today, lays out the stakes for us, our families, and our eternal salvation, and invites us to a faith that’s a lot less easy and comfortable—but that’s more real and actually worth something. The spiritual junk food we’re stuffing ourselves with is never going to satisfy. As St. Augustine said over a millennium ago, our hearts are restless until they rest in Him. Only God Himself can make our lives anything but ultimately meaningless and empty. And we will never get anywhere near Him if we refuse to take up our cross and follow Jesus. This rousing call to the real adventure of a living faith is a wake-up call to complacent Christians and a rallying cry for anyone dissatisfied with a lukewarm faith.

Download or read book Sanctuary written by Heidi Neumark and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Through the pages of this book, I invite you into various spaces of sanctuary—not as places of retreat, but for the deepened resistance, vision, and transformation that these days, and the gospel, require.” Throughout her nearly forty years in ministry, Heidi Neumark has strived to make communities of faith into sanctuaries amid the turmoils of life. Now, with the social and political upheaval of the years since Donald Trump was elected president, Neumark believes the true Christian calling is to live out a counterpoint to today’s prevailing spirits of exclusion and hatred. Using her own bilingual, multicultural congregation as a model, she moves through the seasons of the church calendar to reflect on what it looks like to live out essential Christian convictions in community with others. Sanctuary is an amplifier for the many voices crying out against policies and rhetoric that are cruel, dehumanizing, and dangerous. Neumark begins each chapter with a quote from Donald Trump that she defies and dismantles with the power of her own stories—anecdotes about offering shelter for queer youth in her city, supporting immigrants and asylum-seekers being harassed by ICE, and embracing her church’s diversity with a Guadalupe celebration, to name a few. Timely, but also timeless, this book speaks to the deep wounds of this era, inflicted before and during the Trump presidency, which will remain long past its end.

Download or read book Wake up Christians written by Ivory J. Sanders and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2001-07-09 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wake Up, Christians Written by the inspiration, respect and love of God. The idea for this writing came one day as five missionaries were in route to the hospital in their visitation ministry to the sick. To read the Bible and to minister in the laying on of hands with prayer for healing through the Holy Spirit of God. As they went, they began to discuss various topics of interest, including the following: Satan goes to church In bondage to nervousness - soul problems Curses put on people Angels of God and Satan's angels This inspired one of the missionary ladies to write the book - and thus the pages began to take form. We build our worship on the truth revealed in the Word of GOD. Christian worship must be tied to the Word and Spirit of God. The Word of God is the anchor; the Holy Spirit is the guide. The purpose of this book is to awaken Christians and tell sinners about the devil's wishes to enslave men through his power. There are three sources of power common to human understanding. a. Divine power that comes through the Holy Spirit. b. Satanic power which comes from the Devil. c. Human power or manpower which can be directed by heavenly or demonic powers. After reading this book you should have a better understanding about GOD'S power and plan to save our souls and the devil's plan to destroy our souls. God is love and peace. The devil is torment and hell.

Download or read book WAKE UP You Are Not Really a Christian and Here is Why written by Dean Larson and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you have ever sat in church and said: This doesn't make sense. If what you believe isn't the truth, would you want to know it? If so, this book is for you. We are going to discuss the tough questions that many people have about God, Christianity, and the Bible. In the title of this book I make a bold claim. I state that you are not really a Christian. Did you know: Christ never said he came to die or take on your sins? Christ never taught about the resurrection? Christ never said there is original sin? That according to Christ and God, there isn't a new covenant? That according to Christ and God, there isn't vicarious atonement? That the teaching of "none righteous" contradicts the teachings of Christ and God? That the teaching of "without the shedding of blood there is no remission" contradicts the teachings of Christ and God? That the teaching of "faith counted for righteousness" contradicts the teachings of Christ and God? That the teaching of "being saved" contradicts the teachings of Christ and God? Why are the books in the New Testament deliberately out of order? Don't Lie to Me! That's the thought I had that motivated me to search for the answers. I will provide extremely detailed proof of everything I am discussing in the Evidence section of this book. A true Christian follows the teachings of Christ. I will prove to you that you may not be a true Christian because you do not follow the teachings of Christ. Furthermore, there is a high probability that you don't even know the original teachings of Christ. We are going to discuss the tough questions that many people have about God, Christianity, and the Bible.

Download or read book END TIME CHRISTIANS WAKE UP written by Dennis Dickson and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-05-31 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 7, 2023, Israel was attacked by a devilish horde of bloodthirsty, demented people. These people have been poisoned mentally and spiritually from birth and cannot be reasoned with. They believe that Israel must be erased from the face of the earth. They came in from the Gaza Strip, where they had been voted into leadership and supported by 85 percent of the Palestinian people. They are reaping the fruit of that vote today. This is the spirit of the Antichrist at work in these later days. This is what the devil has been trying to do since the time God made a covenant with Abram in Genesis 12. The same spirit was in Haman during Esther’s time. Hitler was another manifestation of this spirit. This Islamic terrorist organization (Hamas) raped, murdered, tortured, and took hostages of Israeli and American civilians. They raped young girls in front of their families. They set babies on fire in front of their mothers and watched as these babies screamed their last cries of such a short life. I will not go on with these descriptions of horror, but I will only say that this is the spirit that we are warring against. What this spirit did in Israel, it will do wherever it is allowed to flourish. That same spirit is thriving in America with anti-Semitic demonstrations on college campuses. In cities across this country, people are advocating for the demon-filled perpetrators of these heinous crimes against humanity. This same spirit hates Christians also and is at work trying to remove Christ from every platform it can. We are looking at the beginning of the war described in Ezekiel 38 and 39. The outcome of that war is clear. God is fed up with Russia and all the Islamic people who have dared to attack Israel and Christianity. Whose side will He find you on? This book is here to help you win the war against the Antichrist spirit that is sweeping America, even in our churches. This war is for your soul. Wake up! Answered Questions ● How did we get here? *How do I see and hear God? ● Who is our real enemy? *How to win all spiritual battles? ● Is there hope for the church? *What can I do? ● How to take a biblical-based gender test? *Answers about prayer, rest, and warfare ● How does a true Christian come to a biblical voting decision?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lukewarmness in the Church...Moral Decay in Society...Unstable Economies...We live in a troubled world. This is a wake up call!The King of the Universe is coming back to rule the earth in righteousness! ARE YOU READY?The various voices of politics, world religions, and new cultural movements all seek to proclaim some form of hope in the midst of these uncertain times. The Word of God tells us that the only true hope is found in Jesus Christ. He is the Savior who died for sinners, and He is the reigning King who will return to earth with power and great glory. This is the hope we have as Christians-that our King will surely come again. But is the Church ready for the return of Jesus? Are the people of God living in light of and longing desperately for that Day? This book seeks to unpack several exhortations which the Bible gives us in order to help us be prepared for the Second Coming of Christ, such as loving the truth, living holy lives, enduring suffering, and proclaiming the gospel to the unreached nations. This book will help the people of God live out these realities as they await the glorious return of King Jesus.

Download or read book The Founding Myth written by Andrew L. Seidel and published by Sterling. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was America founded on Judeo-Christian principles? Are the Ten Commandments the basis for American law? In the paperback edition of this critically acclaimed book, a constitutional attorney settles the debate about religion's role in America's founding. In today's contentious political climate, understanding religion's role in American government is more important than ever. Christian nationalists assert that our nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles, and advocate an agenda based on this popular historical claim. But is this belief true? The Founding Myth answers the question once and for all. Andrew L. Seidel builds his case by comparing the Ten Commandments to the Constitution and contrasting biblical doctrine with America's founding philosophy, showing that the Declaration of Independence contradicts the Bible. Thoroughly researched, this persuasively argued and fascinating book proves that America was not built on the Bible and that Christian nationalism is un-American. Includes a new epilogue reflecting on the role Christian nationalism played in fomenting the January 6, 2021, insurrection in DC and the warnings the nation missed.
