Download or read book What Does the Lord Require written by James L. Killen and published by CSS Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary life is filled with a host of contentious moral and social issues. There are many thorny topics, both personal and political, which bring out a cacophony of opinions that can overwhelm us. While we are inundated with questions, there often seem to be no clear answers. So how should we respond? As Christians, we must constantly ask ourselves, "What does the Lord require of me?" In this outstanding collection of meditations, James Killen examines many of today's hot-button issues with an eye toward helping readers think through their beliefs and responsibilities. Mindful of our call to live in faithfulness to God's purpose, each essay draws on the Bible and the Christian faith to discern how God would have us respond to the emerging situations of our world's history. What Does The Lord Require? is topical, inspiring reading -- and with thoughtful discussion questions at the end of each meditation, it's an excellent resource for adult classes or study groups, as well as for a sermon series that is sure to connect with congregations. Among the issues addressed are: * religious pluralism * economic justice * materialism * environmental stewardship * gender roles * suicide * abortion * personal integrity * homosexuality * AIDS * race relations * war The timid pulpit is too often the platform of pastors who choose not to unsettle their parishioners. As a result, words that address the critical social and moral issues of our day go unspoken. The messages of this book inspire the reader to new heights of courage as these difficult issues are presented with clear, forthright challenges. You will be informed and motivated as the cost of discipleship awakens your Christian journey in the 21st century. Joe A. Wilson United Methodist bishop James Killen does a remarkable job of reminding us that being a Christian is more than "individual religiosity." Rather, it encompasses every facet of our existence, personal and corporate. These meditations explore issues that Christians cannot afford to ignore. A must read! Brig. Gen. Hiram "Doc" Jones, USAF (retired) Former Deputy Chief, Air Force Chaplain Service James L. Killen has pastored a variety of congregations during a 45-year career in the ministry, ranging from a small open country parish in northeast Texas to Trinity United Methodist Church in Beaumont, Texas, a 2,000-member church with a television ministry serving all of southeast Texas and southwestern Louisiana. A graduate of the University of Houston and Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University, Killen's work has appeared in several publications, including Preaching, Pulpit Digest, Circuit Rider, The Upper Room, and the Abingdon Preaching Annual. He is also the author of Who Do You Say That I Am?
Download or read book The Gospel According to Jesus written by Chris Seay and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2010-09-27 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Christians are living a distorted Christian life. You don't have to be one of them. Imagine a church where 84% of Christians are completely unfamiliar with the essential tenets of their faith, with a crippling misunderstanding of the word righteousness and, in turn, the gospel of Jesus. According to a recent survey conducted by Chris Seay and Barna Research Group, this is not just speculation; it's the reality for the church today. The Gospel According to Jesus takes an in-depth look at this research study, which examines our understanding of the command, "Seek first the kingdom and His righteousness." Most Christians define righteousness as morality. This means that what's being preached by the church is not at all the gospel Jesus intended for His followers. Through personal stories, interviews with today's church leaders, and a detailed study of the book of Romans, Chris uncovers a staggering disconnect between the gospel according to Christians and the gospel according to Jesus--the redeeming, restorative gospel that a broken world so desperately needs. Our role, he says, is to join Jesus in restoring the world. Will you?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nonviolent Communication Book of Quotes shows how the NVC process makes life more wonderful through the joy of compassionate giving. The Nonviolent Communication Book of Quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD, brings together gems from books, the internet, and previously unpublished workshops that the creator of NVC offered during his lifetime. This lively compilation will make you laugh and cry, and inspire you to change your life, your work, your world. Quotes are organized so readers learn the four-part Nonviolent Communication (NVC) process, then explore its myriad applications. Rosenberg's essential insight was that humans universally enjoy making life more wonderful through compassionate giving. The revolutionary psychologist transformed tens of thousands of lives by enabling NVC practitioners to focus on feelings and needs, creating connections without competition, judgment, or demands. Rosenberg's work applied NVC principles to people and situations worldwide, from families to schools to offices, from gangs to warring tribes and nations. These quotes don't just reveal Rosenberg's methods; his trademark humor, kindness, and intuitive brilliance shine from every page.

Download or read book Barriers to Loving written by Stephen B. Levine and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barriers to Loving is an intriguing exploration of the role of sexual love over the course of life. Beginning with the mental health professions’ avoidance of the topic, Levine proposes a compendium of love’s pathologies by reorganizing what is familiar to clinicians into the barriers that limit the formation of adult-adult love, impediments that diminish a partner’s lovability, and the impediments to feeling and expressing love for a partner. Before reviewing scientific contributions to the understanding of love, he explores the topics of sexual excess and infidelity and how they relate to the aspiration to love and be loved. The final two chapters synthesize with clarity what to teach about love to young professionals in order to prepare them for the complexities they will soon encounter and provide a sophisticated answer to the question, What is love? Barriers to Loving integrates humanism, science, and clinical experience in Levine’s long-appreciated unique and mature voice.

"God alone is sovereign," responds author Paul Smith. "He has the big picture and is fitting together the broken pieces of His world. Our loving Father assures us that, regardless of how little we comprehend of His strategy or how painful our brokenness, He is weaving together every aspect and detail of our lives for the accomplishment of His great plan and purpose for us." And what is that plan? "In all things God works for the good of those who love him" (Romans 8:28). Join Dr. Paul Smith as he shows how God can use the very worst things that occur in our lives to accomplish the greatest and most delightful good things! Includes a Review and Study Guide.
Download or read book Moral Responsibility Authenticity and Education written by Ishtiyaque Haji and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-06-25 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this book is to explain the distinction, on the one hand, between indoctrination and education, and, on the other, between responsibility-subverting manipulation and mere causation. Both are elucidated by an appeal to common ground, an account of when our motivations and other springs of action are "truly our own" or "authentic." The book progresses from analyses of the sort of agency that responsibility requires and the authenticity of our motivations, together with a discussion of the relevance of these analyses to manipulation and related problems in the philosophy of education, to a defense of the thesis that responsibility from love's standpoint is of vital significance, and the implications of this thesis for what the authors deem to be legitimate goals of education and other issues in free will. Philosophers and advanced students working in free will, moral psychology, and the philosophy of education will find this text to be extremely useful.

Download or read book Holiness of Heart and Life written by Allan R. Bevere and published by Energion Publications. This book was released on 2023-01-25 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word "holiness" has become somewhat unpopular, as people associate it with a holier-than-thou attitude, a judgmental approach to others, or a legalistic approach to Christian life. But holiness is a word that is used a great deal in scripture and has a long history in Christian theology. Is it possible to talk about holiness as a positive element in living? Can people be called to be holy and in fact called holy? Dr. Allan Bevere believes so. Working from the Wesleyan tradition, but also examining the broader record of Christian thought and the scriptural witness, he looks at what holiness is and is not. As he does so he finds it helpful and challenging rather than negative and destructive. Topical Line Drive volumes are intended to point you to the basics and provide a start for deeper study. Individuals and small groups will find this book ideal as a starting point for a study of this important topic. All God's saints (holy ones!) should understand where they stand as they worship a holy God.
