This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Confession of Faith for the Average Christian Christian faith. Much has been said about the importance of conduct rather than belief by those who contend that it matters not what the individual thinks so long as he lives a good life; but the fact te mains that it is impossible to separate faith and con duct. A man's creed, written or unwritten, is his working theory of life. Minds are confused and energy dissipated because the average Christian has no clear conception of what the Bible really teaches about the plan of salvation. I cannot accept the' statement that people are no longer interested in doctrines, and that they will listen to nothing that is not practical for experience shows that men and women are intensely interested in sermons and addresses that explain the great themes of the Scriptures in terms that can be understood by the average layman. In my ministry to a congregation of ordinary men and women I find that doctrinal sermons are appreciated by Christian and non-christian. Many express gratitude for help received from material similar to that given in this book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Confessions of St Augustine Classic Reprint written by Saint Augustine and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Confessions of St. Augustine Aurelius Augustinus, better known as Saint Augustine, was born of poor parents in the small town of Thagaste in Numidia, North Africa, A.D. 354.His father, Patricius, a pagan of somewhat loose life, was converted to Christianity before his death; his mother Monnica, on account of her personal piety and her influence on her son, is one of the most revered women in the history of the Christian Church. Augustine was educated at the University of Carthage, and according to his own account belonged to a fast set and joined in their dissipations. While there he entered into a relation which lasted for fourteen years with a young woman who became the mother of his son Adeodatus; and he joined the heretical sect of the Manichaeans, who professed to have received from their founder, Manes, a higher form of truth than that taught by Christ. At the close of his university career, which had been brilliant in spite of distractions, he returned to his native town, and first there, and later in Carthage and Rome, he practised as a teacher of rhetoric, training young lawyers in the art of pleading. By the time he was about twenty-seven he had begun to have doubts as to the validity of Manichaeism, but it was not till 387, while he was Professor of Rhetoric in the University of Milan, that he was converted to Catholic Christianity, and received baptism. He now gave up his profession and became an ascetic, studying the foundations of the faith, writing, chiefly against his former sect, and conversing with a group of disciples, first at Rome and then in his native town. When he was on a visit to Hippo, not far from Thagaste, he was forced into the priesthood, and in 395 he became Bishop of Hippo, an office which he filled for the remaining thirty-five years of his life. Though he took a leading part in the activities of the African Church through all this time, and gradually became one of the most distinguished ecclesiastical figures in the Empire, the care of his diocese and the writing of his books formed his chief occupations. He continued to lead a life of extreme simplicity and self-denial, and in his episcopal establishment he trained a large number of disciples who became leaders in the Church.

This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Comment on the Confession of Faith of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ The United Brethren in Christ have always been Arminian in their faith, as contradistinguished from Calvinistic. The Confession of Faith had been arranged, rather than compiled, by Otterbein and those who followed him, a century ago. In form and style it resembled the Apostles' Creed; and this creed was no doubt drawn on largely for the matter composing the creed of this Church. However, the Church did not confine itself very closely to this written creed. At an early day the General Conference inserted in the Book of Discipline, not an article of faith, but a command, based on the Word of God and on the known faith of the Church, requiring the people to keep the Sabbath day holy, and explaining how this should be done. So, in the early years of the Church, the General Conference inserted, in the form of questions to be asked candidates for the ministry, both as licentiates and as elders, all the doctrines peculiar to Protestant evangelical churches; such as, depravity, regeneration, adoption, justification, sanctification, the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures, the divine call to the ministry, future eternal rewards and punishments, etc. These were asked of every candidate. If he avowed his disapproval of any of these doctrines, he was rejected by the Conference as not being a suitable man to preach in this Church. If received, he was given a course of study, extending over a period of three years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Value of Confession Classic Reprint written by Selden Peabody Delany and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Value of Confession The natural instinct of normal-minded people is to share with their friends and with mankind in general any good thing they have discovered. If we have been stimulated or inspired by a book or a play, for example, we hasten to tell our friends about it. It would be inhuman to keep it to ourselves. There is no reason why this principle should not apply to religious practices which we have found helpful and satisfying. Would you not feel grateful to any man who had made a thorough trial of some religious practice unknown or untried by you, and found it helpful, if he should tell you about it? Most people would. Therefore it is here proposed to take up sacra mental confession from this standpoint. There are many Christians who have found it a practice well worth while. They are convinced that one's religious experience must be meagre and incomplete without it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * Including an annotation about the history of the Reformed Churches Helvetic Confessions, the name of two documents expressing the common belief of the Reformed churches of Switzerland. The Second Helvetic Confession (Latin: Confessio Helvetica posterior) was written by Bullinger in 1562 and revised in 1564 as a private exercise. It came to the notice of Elector Palatine Frederick III, who had it translated into German and published. It gained a favorable hold on the Swiss churches, who had found the First Confession too short and too Lutheran. It was adopted by the Reformed Church not only throughout Switzerland but in Scotland (1566), Hungary (1567), France (1571), Poland (1578), and next to the Heidelberg Catechism is the most generally recognized confession of the Reformed Church.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Confession of Faith, of the Church of Christ in Peacham, Defended: A Sermon, Delivered at Peacham, Lord's Day, September 14, 1817 IT must always be suitable, and important, for professors of religion to examine, frequently and carefully, into the founds tion, on which they rest their hopes, for acceptance with God, and eternal blessedness; and to endeavor to ascertain whether they are building on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Je sus Christ himself being the chief corner stone 5 that foundo tion of God, which standeth sure or whether they are build log on some other foundation, which cannot abide the trial. Nor is this a matter. Which is really less important to those, who do not, than it is to those, who do, profess to be christians; since the way of salvation is precisely the same for them, that it is for pro fessors; and it must be of the same importance to them, to know what they must believe, and what they must be, that they may be saved. It is the more important that this subject should receive careful attention, because there is some disagreement, in the opin ions of christians, concerning what is necessary to be believed. There is, usually, some disposition to cry, Lo, here, and, Lo there; and efforts are too commonly made, to divert the minds of those, who are inquiring what they must do to be saved, from subjects of primary importance, to some controverted questions, which, in comparison, are scarcely of any importance at all. This always looks to me like a stratagem of Satan, to lead men astray; as be well knows, that, if christians can be drawn into disputes, about nonessential things, they will not make much progress in the way to heaven; and that, while the attention of sinners can be fixed on such things, he is in little danger of losing his influence over thetm Because.
