Download or read book Prophetic Masquerade written by Kevin R. Kleint and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-02-11 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you been dancing with wolves? Discover what the Word of God has to say about "false prophets" and why they are absolutely terrified of you having this revelation. The church has been on the lookout for false prophets for quite some time now, and has been finding very little because they are looking for the obvious. Unbeknownst to the well-churched masses, a large network of false prophets has been growing and thriving, right under their noses... twisting the Word here, creating new doctrines there... like "Pied Pipers," leading the mice away from the narrow path. The Word of God has a lot to say about this group of deceivers - first and foremost, that He doesn't want YOU to be deceived by them. Using the biblical principle that "a matter is established by 2 or 3 witnesses" (Deuteronomy 19:15, 2 Corinthians 13:1), "Prophetic Masquerade" provides ten rock-solid witnesses from Scripture to enable you to measure an alleged prophet. DO NOT be among those who are deceived by the false prophets in these Last Days. Let your mind be renewed by the Word of God and discern from the Scripture the wolves among the sheep.

Download or read book Quivering Families written by Emily Hunter McGowin and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American evangelicals are known for focusing on the family, but the Quiverfull movement intensifies that focus in a significant way. Often called "Quiverfull" due to an emphasis on filling their "quivers" with as many children as possible (Psalm 127:5), such families are distinguishable by their practices of male-only leadership, homeschooling, and prolific childbirth. Their primary aim is "multigenerational faithfulness" - ensuring their descendants maintain Christian faith for many generations. Many believe this focus will lead to the Christianization of America in the centuries to come. Quivering Families is a first of its kind project that employs history, ethnography, and theology to explore the Quiverfull movement in America. The book considers a study of the movement's origins, its major leaders and institutions, and the daily lives of its families. Quivering Families argues that despite the apparent strangeness of their practice, Quiverfull is a thoroughly evangelical and American phenomenon. Far from offering a countercultural vision of the family, Quiverfull represents an intensification of longstanding tendencies. The movement reveals the weakness of evangelical theology of the family and underlines the need for more critical and creative approaches.

Download or read book The Message of the Sermon on the Mount written by John Stott and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2020-05-19 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The followers of Jesus are to be different," writes John Stott, "different from both the nominal church and the secular world, different from both the religious and the irreligious. The Sermon on the Mount is the most complete delineation anywhere in the New Testament of the Christian counter-culture." In the Sermon on the Mount, the "nearest thing to a manifesto" that Jesus ever uttered, we find Jesus' own description of what he wanted his followers to be and do. In this Bible Speaks Today volume, Stott guides readers through Jesus' well-known but often poorly understood teachings in Matthew 5 through 7. Leading us to listen carefully to the meaning of each verse in its context, Stott also confronts the challenges this text raises for today's Christians and draws out practical applications. This revised edition features lightly updated language, current NIV Scripture quotations and a new interior design. A seven-session study guide at the end of the book will help you more deeply ponder the message of the Sermon on the Mount and how it speaks to your life.
