Download or read book Cold Case Christianity written by J. Warner Wallace and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

Download or read book This Is True Grace written by Joyce Wai-Lan Sun and published by Langham Publishing. This book was released on 2016-12-31 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How and in what respects are the Petrine social instructions shaped by the theological vision of the author of 1 Peter? This publication investigates the coherence between the social behavioural instructions and the theological teachings found in 1 Peter. Engaging with the Balch-Elliott debate, Dr Joyce Sun argues that the core question should not be whether Christians should separate from, or accommodate to, wider society, but whether their behaviour is consistent with their ultimate allegiance to God. Sun convincingly demonstrates that the social distinctiveness of Christian communities was actively encouraged in the Petrine literature as a form of cultural and spiritual opposition to wider societal norms.

Download or read book Destiny written by Karl Haffner and published by Review and Herald Pub Assoc. This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: uick, what did you have for dinner two months, three weeks, and six days ago? If you're a little fuzzy on the details, you're, well, normal. It's easy to forget something you're not continually thinking about. Out of sight, out of mind, right? Unfortunately, thinking primarily about what's in front of us, i.e., electronic gadgets, squabbling children, or the old woman in church who won't stop whispering to her friend during the service, blocks out some really important stuff. Take, for example, the weighty matters of personal identity, ultimate purpose, and eternal destination. Karl Haffner's wit and wisdom combine in this lightheartedly serious exploration of three questions to which our souls demand answers: Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? Living with the answers scribbled on 3 × 5 cards plastered before our eyeballs might reset our priorities for about 30 minutes. Maybe that's why God said something about inscribing His priorities on our hearts. Book jacket.

Download or read book The Treasure Principle Revised and Updated written by Randy Alcorn and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2012-04-11 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover how the joy of giving can make your life richer, starting today. Bestselling author Randy Alcorn introduced readers to a revolution in material freedom and radical generosity with the release of the original The Treasure Principle in 2001. Now the revision to the compact, perennial bestseller includes a provocative new concluding chapter depicting God asking a believer questions about his stewardship over material resources. Jesus spent more time talking about money and possessions than about heaven and hell combined. But too often we’ve overlooked or misunderstood his most profound teaching on this topic, from his words in Matthew 6. Jesus offers us life-changing investment advice. He actually wants us to store up treasures for ourselves—just not here on earth. Instead, he urges us to store our treasure in heaven, where they will await us, and last forever. We can’t take it with us—but we can send it on ahead! Readers are moved from the realms of thoughtful Bible exposition into the highly personal arena of everyday life. Because when Jesus told His followers to “lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,” He intended that they discover an astounding secret: how joyful giving brings God maximum glory and His children maximum pleasure. In The Treasure Principle, you’ll unearth a radical teaching of Jesus—a secret wrapped up in giving. Once you discover this secret, life will never look the same. And you won’t want it to be. “Supercharged with stunning, divine truth! Lightning struck over and over as I read it.” - John Piper, Senior Pastor, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis

Download or read book Citizenship of Heaven written by Faith Adekoya and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the BookCitizenship of HeavenThe inspiration for writing this book was given to me by the Holy Spirit. Having gone through so many travails of life myself, I came to the realisation that our time here on earth is not permanent. In fact, no matter how much that I view and think of time, I realise now more than ever that life on earth, by whatever parameter we measure is transient. Eternity is a reality; be it the eternity of Heaven or the eternity of hell. No matter what you and I may think of today; the end is bound to come at some point in time. The ultimate question therefore is; 'where will you and I spend eternity?' Quoting the famous televangelist, Billy Graham; 'The Bible doesn't answer all our questions about heaven and life after death-and the reason is because our minds are limited and heaven is far too glorious for us to understand. Someday, all of our questions will be answered-but not yet. As the Apostle Paul wrote; ''For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully" (1 Corinthians 13:12). Are you a Citizen of Heaven?Recently, I had to re-evaluate everything in my life. I mean everything; where I started from, what I had been through and where I am right now. Thereafter, I came to the conclusion that definitely my home is not on this earth. I am only 'passing through'. My home is definitely in heaven. At that point I began to appreciate the fact that it is absolutely of no consequence 'per se' how long we actually live (i.e. age) on the earth, where (city, town, village) where we are born, the house (mansion, castle, building) we live, the food we eat or even the language that we speak etc. All those things are only of relevance when we are here on earth. In other words all the basic indices of food, shelter, clothing, safety, language, colour, creed, gender etc have relevance only in the context of our earthly life and citizenship when we are here on earth. These indices or factors do not determine our purpose on earth neither do they signpost us to heaven in any way. Heaven is a reality and so is hell. Only those who are qualified to be there will enter into heaven at the end of the age. I mean only those who have the citizenship identity and status will make it into heaven. The question therefore is not whether you and I have will die but where will we spend eternity. Do you have the heavenly citizenship status?
Download or read book Heaven My Home written by Attica Locke and published by Mulholland Books. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this "captivating" crime novel (People), Texas Ranger Darren Mathews is on the hunt for a missing child -- but it's the boy's family of white supremacists who are his real target. 9-year-old Levi King knew he should have left for home sooner; now he's alone in the darkness of vast Caddo Lake, in a boat whose motor just died. A sudden noise distracts him - and all goes dark. Darren Mathews is trying to emerge from another kind of darkness; after the events of his previous investigation, his marriage is in a precarious state of re-building, and his career and reputation lie in the hands of his mother, who's never exactly had his best interests at heart. Now she holds the key to his freedom, and she's not above a little maternal blackmail to press her advantage. An unlikely possibility of rescue arrives in the form of a case down Highway 59, in a small lakeside town where the local economy thrives on nostalgia for ante-bellum Texas - and some of the era's racial attitudes still thrive as well. Levi's disappearance has links to Darren's last case, and to a wealthy businesswoman, the boy's grandmother, who seems more concerned about the fate of her business than that of her grandson. Darren has to battle centuries-old suspicions and prejudices, as well as threats that have been reignited in the current political climate, as he races to find the boy, and to save himself.
