Book excerpt: ‘Superbly written, utterly Bible based. . . Do not hesitate!’ Archbishop Justin Welby What are we supposed to think about the coronavirus crisis? Some people think they know: ‘This is a sign of the End,’ they say. ‘It’s all predicted in the book of Revelation.’ Others disagree but are equally clear: ‘This is a call to repent. God is judging the world and through this disease he’s telling us to change.’ Some join in the chorus of blame and condemnation: ‘It’s the fault of the Chinese, the government, the World Health Organization...' Tom Wright examines these reactions to the virus and finds them wanting. Instead, he invites you to consider a different way of seeing and responding – a way that draws on the teachings and examples of scripture, and above all on the way of living, thinking and praying revealed to us by Jesus.

Book excerpt: This book has a straight and clear position to inform you about the importance of God. A good reason why you should know and serve Him is for the sake of your life. The book tries to establish that it all begins with God and ends with God. What God does not know does not exist. The secret of life lies with God. He can make you live, and He can do otherwise for contrary reason. The position of this book is to convince you that with God you can survive covid-19 because He has saved people in times of crisis before. God is interested in you because He has found you as a replacement for the devil. This was what He did when He replaced King Saul with David whom he described as a man after his heart. For the record God loves you,He cares for you;He honors you,You're His friend,His ally,His child,His associate,His errand person, much more the apple of His eyes. You can see that with God you have many qualities and so you are variously qualified than you know. By extension God had declared you a chosen generation, a peculiar people, a high priest, a beloved and a trusted servant at the most. When you know your God the threat of corona virus will not be an issue to your life- take it as a divine truth.Know this fact.In God you are pursuing a purposeful life.In Christ you are pursuing a purposeful goal.In the Holy Spirit your life is meaningful!There is no pride in being associated with the devil. Not any.

Book excerpt: “This is a time when the fragile form of this world is felt. The seemingly solid foundations are shaking. The question we should be asking is, Do we have a Rock under our feet? A Rock that cannot be shaken—ever?” —John Piper On January 11, 2020, a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) reportedly claimed its first victim in the Hubei province of China. By March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization had declared a global pandemic. In the midst of this fear and uncertainty, it is natural to wonder what God is doing. In Coronavirus and Christ, John Piper invites readers around the world to stand on the solid Rock, who is Jesus Christ, in whom our souls can be sustained by the sovereign God who ordains, governs, and reigns over all things to accomplish his wise and good purposes for those who trust in him. What is God doing through the coronavirus? Piper offers six biblical answers to that question, showing us that God is at work in this moment in history.

Download or read book All Things Wise and Wonderful written by E. Janet Warren and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Covid-19 pandemic provoked many questions. It is human nature to want to know how and why things happen. The sovereign God has created a beautiful, intricate world in which multiple factors interact to cause an event. We are called to properly understand creation, but often fail because we tend to be lazy, fearful, and self-serving. We make judgments based on (often incorrect) assumptions about cause-and-effect relations, and we seek reassuring explanations for both trivial and serious events. Christians have the added complication of figuring out God’s role in making things happen. All Things Wise and Wonderful examines what the Bible and Christian theology say about cause and effect, how science views causation in the world, and how human mind-brains judge causation. Using illustrations from everyday life, it offers guidance for Christians to think and act wisely with respect to how and why things happen in creation.

Some join in the chorus of blame and condemnation: "It's the fault of the Chinese, the government, the World Health Organization…" N. T. Wright examines these reactions to the virus and finds them wanting. Instead, he shows that a careful reading of the Bible and Christian history offers simple though profound answers to our many questions, including: What should be the Christian response? How should we think about God? How do we live in the present? Why should we lament? What should we learn about ourselves? How do we recover? Written by one of the world's foremost New Testament scholars, God and the Pandemic will serve as your guide to read the events of today through the light of Jesus' death and resurrection.

Download or read book Conquering COVID 19 with CHRIST written by Michelle Mashburn and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-02-09 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christ and COVID-19 are two realities that collided without warning in the lives of so many during a global pandemic. God proved just how little control we have over many things we take for granted. A couple striving to survive in two different ways but in some ways the same. The life that we knew had come to a halt, and we were at the mercy of the symptoms of a contagious new virus. The virus is at the mercy of the Great Physician. The medical system took over and reigned over many rights that we once had with our loved ones. The separation from family and friends would be designed by a loving God to bring me to a place of total dependence on compassion, comfort, and companionship to the one who knows my every thought. God's supreme presence through this time of isolation was just what my soul needed to be still and know that He is God and to be a prayer warrior for my husband.

Download or read book COVID 19 and Pain written by Peter Harris and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-05-26 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic has been the cause of much pain. In light of this, can Christians still believe in God? And if they do, can they still believe that he is all-good, all-powerful, and all-knowing? In this book, Peter Harris looks at these difficult questions and answers yes! After establishing that COVID-19 is not God's judgment and without denigrating other worldviews, Harris demonstrates that Christianity has a moral philosophy which has led historically to robust and compassionate responses to pandemics, a response that is seen in Christian behavior today. Hospitals using modern science are on the front line in the battle with COVID-19. According to Harris, history demonstrates that it was Christians who first established hospitals and whose worldview gave rise to modern science in the first place. Turning to philosophy, Harris presents reasons to believe that God is congruent with pain with the argument from free will as his focus. Finally, Harris considers the pandemic from a pastoral argument, analyzing the pain of grief and explaining God's rescue package from a world of pain. If you want some serious reflection on COVID-19, this is a book for you.

Download or read book God Trump and COVID 19 written by Stephen E. Strang and published by Charisma Media. This book was released on 2020-05-14 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the best-selling author of God and Donald Trump, which was brandished by the president at the World Economic Forum in Davos How the Pandemic Is Affecting Christians, the World, and America's 2020 Election This book is a timely follow up to God, Trump and the 2020 Election that reveals insider information about China, the virus, and the ever-increasing stakes of the upcoming election. It will answer the question for the Christian believers (and seekers) of where God is in all this? It provides a little known prophecy by the late David Wilkerson about a plague coming that would shut down the government as well as churches and bars, including shaking New York City as it’s never been shaken. Wilkerson said this plague would force believers into radical prayer that will spark an awakening--something echoed by Christian leaders and prophets. Just as the economy was booming and Donald Trump was fixing long-term problems and beating back attacks from his opponents, a brand-new virus shakes up everything including the outcome of this election. The author has inside information about what happened in China early in the pandemic and what went wrong. He even documents how Donald Trump has led the nation in this time of crisis. In 2016, God raised up Donald Trump to lead America at a pivotal time. Evangelicals who recognized this backed him more than any other presidential candidate in history. Heading into Election Day 2020, the stakes are even higher, especially with the uncertainty and upheaval caused by COVID-19. This book is really “part two” of God, Trump and the 2020 Election which details the fight for the soul of America. Strang believes readers need both books to understand and explain what’s at stake. With the shutdown caused by the pandemic, serious anti-Christian trends surfaced, such as some states closing “non-essential” churches but allowing liquor stores to provide curbside service. Or ceasing all elective surgeries except abortion, which is the taking of a life while the purpose in shutting down the economy was to save lives from this dreaded virus.

Download or read book How God Healed Me Of Covid 19 How To Build Your Faith written by Walters Gob and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-27 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ more than two thousand years ago accomplished just too much that the human mind cannot fully comprehend. Among other things he paid the full price for our healing, that is why the Bible says, Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses. The killing of hundreds of thousands of lives by Covid-19 around the World is a big blow to the price Jesus paid for our sicknesses. Why are many suffering in the hands of untimely death, given that the price for their healing has been paid? The answer is ignorance. Ignorance is a killer at all levels, ranging from ignorant of the vaccine, cure and ignorant of how to build one's faith and how to pray. The Bible confirming this says, my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, He says, because you have rejected knowledge, therefore I have rejected you from being a priest before me, Hosea 4:6. God as merciful as He is, as loving as He is, hate ignorance and even rejects his people on the bases of ignorant. Many are ignorant that building your Faith in Healing Scriptures will give you dominion over sicknesses. The Word of the Lord says in Psalms 103:2-3 that the Lord forgives your sins and heals all your diseases. If he says he heals all our sicknesses, it's true, He can't lie. He can Heal all sicknesses, even Coronaviruses. Why are many people dying of Coronaviruses, Cancer and other sicknesses? They have a Faith problem. This book is here to fix your Faith problem. Healing by the power of Faith is not new. It one's was very common and humanity because of the pleasures of sin decided to allow it to slip off. In the days of Alexander Dowie, around the 1870's, a pandemic brook out in Australia that was similar to COVID-19, killing just everyone and had symptoms of fever like Coronavirus. God used him mightily in the Faith ministry to save the lives of thousands from the pandemic. This information can be verified on the internet. This time-sensitive manual is a reawakening for humanity to return to the Faith that was ones delivered to the saints. It's not a type of motivational text written to make a motivate, but to build your faith to combat level so that you can effectively fight, " the good fight of Faith." In my opinion, the Church has failed to take its position as the light and salt of the World, with respect to divine healing. This book is coming out at a critical time like this to build the Faith of many and guide them on how to pray. By reading this book and allocating the required time on prayers, will cause you to emerge as a prayer warrior and a man of Faith. It is designed to take you from zero Faith to Hero Faith. By the time you finish reading this book, the Coronavirus in your body will be finished, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
