Download or read book Church N Compromise written by Bishop Jeffery E. Battle Sr. and published by . This book was released on 2017-02-13 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's Christian church is in a severe state of compromise. False prophets and teachers have infiltrated the church, using their status and position to deceive and exploit the hopes of naive believing church members. Under compromised leadership, the focus of attaining salvation for lost and weary souls has shifted to obtaining celebrity status and riches. Promises of blessings are auctioned from the pulpit with the misleading perception that the highest bidders and givers reap the most rewards. Manipulative, corrupt leaders have led parishioners astray, diverting our worship and service unto God, to serving and worshipping the man or woman who simply talks about God. As a result, complacent Christians forgo the opportunity to study God's living word for themselves, relying solely on pastors, preachers, and other church leaders for direction. Lay members fall prey to seemingly saintly characters, driven by selfish ambition, rather than godly pursuits. We have been forewarned in the Bible throughout the Old and New Testaments that there would be false teachers and prophets who would come to deceive the people of God. Yet instead of seeking and arming ourselves with the wisdom and knowledge of God's written word, we continue to consume man's spoken word, without questioning, whether it lines up with scripture.

As God's children, we are responsible for knowing what he said and his purpose for our lives. He implores us to seek him and learn of his promises by building a one on one relationship, directly with him. He desires to speak directly to us as our source and guide and if we listen for his voice, he longs to correct us that we may move out of our current state of compromise.

Download or read book No Compromise eBook written by Errol Naidoo and published by Christian Art Publishers. This book was released on 2012-10-26 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It often happens that people compromise their faith to suit their lifestyle. Their black and white sense of right and wrong gets trapped in a gray area. In NO COMPROMISE, founder and president of Family Policy Institute (FPI), Errol Naidoo, maintains that the major reason for the moral decline in the world today is the lack of conviction and commitment of Christians to be salt and light in society. Even though prayer is the foundation of everything a Christian does, NO COMPROMISE states that Christians shouldn’t “just pray” and not engage in politics and social issues. Naidoo spurs readers on not only to be people of prayer, but also people of action. They should adjust their lifestyle according to their faith, no compromise!

Download or read book The Role of the Bishop in Late Antiquity written by Andrew Fear and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-02-14 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Late Antiquity witnessed a major transformation in the authority and power of the Episcopate within the Church, with the result that bishops came to embody the essence of Christianity and increasingly overshadow the leading Christian laity. The rise of Episcopal power came in a period in which drastic political changes produced long and significant conflicts both within and outside the Church. This book examines these problems in depth, looking at bishops' varied roles in both causing and resolving these disputes, including those internal to the church, those which began within the church but had major effects on wider society, and those of a secular nature.

Download or read book Six Days written by Ken Ham and published by New Leaf Publishing Group. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover how many evangelical leaders, willingly or unwittingly, are undermining the authority of God's Word by compromising the Bible in Genesis Learn how allowing for an old/universe of billions of years unlocks a door of compromise Heed the wake-up call to the Church to return to the authority of God's Word, beginning in Genesis. Today, most Bible colleges, seminaries, K-12 Christian schools, and now even parts of the homeschool movement do not accept the first eleven chapters of Genesis as literal history. They try to fit the supposed billions of years into Genesis, and some teach evolution as fact. Our churches are largely following suit. Ken Ham, international speaker and author on biblical authority, examines how compromise starting in Genesis, particularly in regard to the six days of creation and the earth's age, have filtered down from the Bible colleges and seminaries to pastors—and finally to parents and their children. This erosive legacy is seen in generations of young people leaving the Church—2/3 of them. Get the facts, discover God's truth, and help bring a new reformation to the Church by helping to call it back to the authority of God's Word.

Download or read book Christ s Call to Reform the Church written by John MacArthur and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the church need to hear today? As many have said, the church must always be reforming. It must continually move closer to a truer, more faithful expression of the gospel. The risen Christ’s powerful letters to the seven churches in Revelation are a guide to just that. Based on John MacArthur’s exposition of these letters, Christ’s Call to Reform the Church is a plea to the modern church to heed these divine warnings, to reform before it succumbs to the kinds of compromise and error that invite God’s judgment. Christ’s Call to Reform the Church admonishes the church today to learn from the mistakes God’s people have made in the past, rather than commit them again. The Word of God has many benefits, one of which is that it reveals our blind spots. That's what this book does—it shines a light on problems we didn't know we had. May it be embraced by Christians everywhere, spurring them toward the God-honoring, grace-driven work of continued reformation.

Book excerpt: The 25th Anniversary Edition of Keith Green's inspiring biography, revised and updated by his wife, Melody. This expanded biography contains many added stories and insights, never before published photos, extra selections from Keith's private journals, and glimpses into Melody's season of grieving and raising their two surviving children on her own. He was only twenty-eight when he died in a plane crash with two of his small children, but singer/songwriter Keith Green had already created a legacy of music and inspiration that would outlive him. A spiritual revolutionary, he found freedom through Jesus, not religion, and spent his last years convincing others to refuse to accept the status quo and instead to bring compassion and honesty back to the church. He touched people through vibrant lyrics in songs like "Your Love Broke Through," "You Put This Love In My Heart," and "Asleep In The Light." Last Days Ministries, which he and his wife Melody founded, went on to challenge thousands of people to take to the mission fields of the world. Now, on the 25th anniversary of his death, Melody has updated her husband's biography with new photos, essays from current musicians who were influenced by Keith, selections from Keith's private journal, and stories about what it was like raising their two remaining children on her own.
