Download or read book Onward written by Russell D. Moore and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2015-08 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity Today "Beautiful Orthodoxy" Book of the Year in 2016. Keep Christianity Strange. As the culture changes all around us, it is no longer possible to pretend that we are a Moral Majority. That may be bad news for America, but it can be good news for the church. What's needed now, in shifting times, is neither a doubling-down on the status quo nor a pullback into isolation. Instead, we need a church that speaks to social and political issues with a bigger vision in mind: that of the gospel of Jesus Christ. As Christianity seems increasingly strange, and even subversive, to our culture, we have the opportunity to reclaim the freakishness of the gospel, which is what gives it its power in the first place. We seek the kingdom of God, before everything else. We connect that kingdom agenda to the culture around us, both by speaking it to the world and by showing it in our churches. As we do so, we remember our mission to oppose demons, not to demonize opponents. As we advocate for human dignity, for religious liberty, for family stability, let's do so as those with a prophetic word that turns everything upside down. The signs of the times tell us we are in for days our parents and grandparents never knew. But that's no call for panic or surrender or outrage. Jesus is alive. Let's act like it. Let's follow him, onward to the future.

Download or read book NOT Just Friends written by Shirley Glass and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the world’s leading experts on infidelity provides a step-by-step guide through the process of infidelity—from suspicion and revelation to healing, and provides profound, practical guidance to prevent infidelity and, if it happens, recover and heal from it. You’re right to be cautious when you hear these words: “I’m telling you, we’re just friends.” Good people in good marriages are having affairs. The workplace and the Internet have become fertile breeding grounds for “friendships” that can slowly and insidiously turn into love affairs. Yet you can protect your relationship from emotional or sexual betrayal by recognizing the red flags that mark the stages of slipping into an improper, dangerous intimacy that can threaten your marriage.

Download or read book Disqualified written by Dave Miller and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-22 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I want to stick with what the Bible says. No compromise." The church has operated on the assumption that all divorce is always sin and disqualifies every man as serving as a pastor, elder, or deacon. Variations from that position have been viewed as compromise of the Word of God. After studying every passage in the Bible that deals with divorce and remarriage, Dave Miller has come to a different position. In Disqualified, he examines the Old Testament evidence that sets the cornerstone and lays the foundation of the biblical teaching, then looks at the framework constructed in Jesus' radical teachings. He examines the finishing touches put on by Paul, especially in 1 Corinthians 7, establishing the key biblical teachings on divorce, remarriage, and ministry. God's intent from creation was that marriage be a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, but in a world broken by sin also granted exceptions based on the "hardness of the human heart." After surveying the biblical evidence, Dave Miller asks several key questions for individuals and churches to consider. Have those who been divorced been permanently disqualified from leadership positions in churches? What does the phrase, "husband of one wife" mean? The church cannot ignore this subject and must search the Scriptures to seek the mind of Christ on it. Simply relying on tradition or doing what pleases people is not sufficient. God's word is always right and Dave Miller is convinced that we need to take a new look at this difficult topic.

Download or read book Remarriage is Adultery Unless written by David Pawson and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consecutive polygamy (as many husbands or wives as you like but only one at a time) is now an accepted norm in contemporary society. Hardly surprising, since the social, legal, moral and financial restraints holding marriages together for a lifetime have been steadily eroded in a relativist age where anything goes. What is surprising is that divorce and remarriage are becoming as common inside the church as outside, even among Christian leaders and especially in the Evangelical stream. Believers have been outspoken about such issues as abortion and homosexuality though their Lord Jesus said nothing about either. He did say quite a lot about the subject of this book but there is either a reluctance to take his teaching at face value or an eagerness to enlarge his ‘exception’ until it becomes the rule. This volume primarily appeals to those for whom the Bible is the final authority in all matters of belief and behaviour, especially those who preach to, teach and counsel others. The author believes that the church should be leading the world uphill rather than following the world downhill. David Pawson has a worldwide teaching ministry, particularly for church leaders. He is known to many through Christian broadcasting and is the author of numerous books.

Download or read book Is the Bible Good for Women written by Wendy Alsup and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2017-03-21 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the Bible actually say about women? This scripturally accurate book rejects harmful misinterpretations and reminds us of the dignity God places on His daughters, with a helpful guide for reflection and group discussion included. In the wake of the Me Too and Church Too movements, many of our loved ones are leaving the church or questioning Christianity because the Bible has at times been misused against them. How do we help our loved ones understand Scripture accurately? Apologetics for Women In this helpful look at God’s work of redemption from Creation to today, Wendy Alsup explores questions such as: • How does God view justice and equal rights for women? • What does it mean to be made in the image of God? • How have the centuries distorted our interpretation of how God views women? • How did Jesus approach the Old Testament and how does that help us read difficult passages today? • What is the difference between a modern view of feminism and the feminism that Scripture models? • How does the Bible explain the Bible to us? Using a Jesus-centered understanding to look at both God’s grand storyline and specific biblical passages, Alsup shows the noble ways God speaks to and about women in its pages. Most of all, she gives concrete tools for understanding Scripture to women who are questioning if the Bible is truly good for them.
