This book was released on 2020-05-27 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I had always believed in the healing power of our Lord, and viewed my life as one of service to Him via the practice of medicine. But, in retrospect, I had a deeper trust in the power of modern medicine and science than I did in Jesus Christ and His fully accomplished work on the Cross. My thinking was flawed, but, as I grew in my walk with the Lord and meditated on Scripture more fully, I began to see the superiority of faith over the limited interventions modern medical science had to offer, and that this interplay between faith and science was not mutually exclusive, but complimentary, for the spiritual aspects of our lives illuminate and empower the carnal aspects of intellect and physical senses. I began jotting notes to myself related to this interplay of faith and healing and science, and just filed them away...for years. IThen, in December of 2017, a baby was born to a first time mother of mine, his little body riddled with the most fulminant form of acute lymphoblasic leukemia, almost always fatal. His absolutely miraculous healing was the impetus to start putting these thoughts into writing, in the form of weekday morning emails entitled “A Christian Doctor’s View of Healing, Faiith, and Science”. It was soon made clear to me that these writings were to take the form of a year long devotional book, comprised of short weekday messages that are intimately linked, such that they can be read through as a book. And that book was to paint a picture, and that picture was to be of a face, and the face was to be that of Jesus, for He is the source of all healing

Download or read book A Definitive Look at Oneness Theology written by Edward L. Dalcour, Ph.d. and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Definitive Look at Oneness Theology: In the Light of Biblical Trinitarianism (4th ed.) critically examines the claims of Oneness unitarian theology in light of biblical exegesis. Specifically, this book clearly shows that the entire content of biblical revelation reveals that the one true God is triune existing in three distinct persons-the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Further, the triune nature of God has been implicitly and explicitly affirmed by the early church, important Ecumenical Councils (and their resulting Creeds), and contemporary conservative biblical scholarship. Oneness theology rejects the biblical doctrine of the Trinity erroneously assuming a unitarian view of God-namely, a one person deity whose name is "Jesus." Hence, it teaches that Jesus is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Oneness advocates then see the titles "Father," Son," and "Holy Spirit" as mere names or roles that Jesus manifests and not as distinct persons. They embrace the notion that "Son" represents the humanity of Jesus while "Father" (and Holy Spirit) represents the deity of Jesus, thus denying the unipersonality, deity, and preexistence of the Son, Jesus Christ. This view sharply opposes the biblical position that the Son had/shared glory "with" the Father "before the world was" (John 17:5). Since, the biblical presentation of the preexistence of the Son (esp. as Creator) is the Achilles' heel of Oneness doctrine, this book devotes the needed space and attention to the exegesis of key passages (such as Gen. 19:24; John 1:1-18; 17:5; Col. 1:16-17; Phil. 2:6-11; and the prologue of Hebrews), which positively affirms biblical Trinitarianism. On this point alone, the Oneness position is shown biblically false.

Download or read book The Christian as a Doctor written by James T. Stephens and published by . This book was released on 1960 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the old-fashioned doctor had little trouble relating religion to his practice by means of pious behavior, the modern doctor is perplexed as to what difference religion makes in medical practice -- or what difference it ever did make. Like many moderns he finds religion, if he has it, something apart from life itself -- removed from occupational realities. He does not understand how Christian faith should affect the choice or conduct of an occupation. To let religion affect occupational decisions seems to many to be a dubious mixing of "religion and business," and pious behavior in a professional setting seems artificial and unreal. At many places in the following discussion it would seem that the Christian doctor does not differ from the non-believer in the everyday practice of his profession. The physician in this portrait is the modern informed man of good will. It is implied that he is a bit more perceptive of issues, more philosophical, more disciplined, more aware of how all actions are morally ambiguous, and alert to how pride destroys perspective. But in this book the Christian doctor is shown as shrinking from the claim that his faith distinguishes him from the agnostic or atheist in the practice of medicine. The image which emerges is one of a believing and perhaps even beloved physician whose characteristic disclaimer is like that of our Lord, "Why callest thou me good?" A Christian faith that can relate itself to modern life must speak the language of the new, modern doctor. It will not be heard if it urges a return to the expression of Christian piety that captured the public imagination in former years. The following is a "begin-where-you-are" approach which attempts to say: "There are spiritual dimensions to the doctor's job: sense them, cultivate them; deepen your insights as a physician, and you will find that you are not far from the Kingdom." Let no one suggest that the "Christian" depicted in these pages is a mildly convinced, ambivalent, inarticulate believer -- and yearn for a volume entitled "A Doctor Succeeds Through Prayer." This is an exploratory inductive study to lead readers into the fruitful pilgrimage of faith in contact with vocation itself which can result in a real synthesis of religion and life. It is offered in an earnest effort to help all physicians feel out the spiritual contours of their own vocation. - Preface.

Download or read book I Don t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist written by Norman L. Geisler and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2021-05-17 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To some, the concept of having faith in a higher power or a set of religious beliefs is nonsensical. Indeed, many view religion in general, and Christianity in particular, as unfounded and unreasonable. Norman Geisler and Frank Turek argue, however, that Christianity is not only more reasonable than all other belief systems, but is indeed more rational than unbelief itself. With conviction and clear thinking, Geisler and Turek guide readers through some of the traditional, tested arguments for the existence of a creator God. They move into an examination of the source of morality and the reliability of the New Testament accounts concerning Jesus. The final section of the book deals with a detailed investigation of the claims of Christ. This volume will be an interesting read for those skeptical about Christianity, as well as a helpful resource for Christians seeking to articulate a more sophisticated defense of their faith.

Download or read book Hostility to Hospitality written by Michael J. Balboni and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-12 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spiritual sickness troubles American medicine. Through a death-denying culture, medicine has gained enormous power-an influence it maintains by distancing itself from religion, which too often reminds us of our mortality. As a result of this separation of medicine and religion, patients facing serious illness infrequently receive adequate spiritual care, despite the large body of empirical data demonstrating its importance to patient decision-making, quality of life, and medical utilization. This secular-sacred divide also unleashes depersonalizing, social forces through the market, technology, and legal-bureaucratic powers that reduce clinicians to tiny cogs in an unstoppable machine. Hostility to Hospitality is one of the first books of its kind to explore these hostilities threatening medicine and offer a path forward for the partnership of modern medicine and spirituality. Drawing from interdisciplinary scholarship including empirical studies, interviews, history and sociology, theology, and public policy, the authors argue for structural pluralism as the key to changing hostility to hospitality.
