Book excerpt: Greetings to my Christian Siblings, This book is presented in a straightforward and conversational style. Each chapter is scripturally based and simple to understand. The problem-solving action steps, regarding the Christian Issues discussed here, are user friendly. But I caution you that breaking old habits takes dedication and stamina. These action steps are not for the faint-hearted, for they ask us to delve past the surface of our daily interactions and get to the heart of how honest we really are with ourselves, with others, and with our God. From personal experience I can state that understanding God’s will in my life is often far easier than submitting to His will in my life. Like so many life lessons, I’ve learned the action steps that you will read about in this book, the hard way. They did NOT first appear as I see them today. They appeared as anxiety, sleeplessness, bad dreams, dysfunctional relationships, buckets of tears and diminished health. Amazingly, when I got right with God, the action steps came into focus. Like I said, I learned these steps the hard way. Hebrews 12:1 “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” Sin, like Cobwebs, can easily entangle us. And just like when we walk through an actual cobweb and are then simply overcome with the urgency to get that sticky stuff off of our bodies, the spiritual equivalent should occur. When we find that The Spider has managed to weave a spiritual cobweb in our soul, we should be overcome with the same urgency to be rid of it immediately. The Spider wants to trap us, and he spins various and sundry webs to try to do so. Satan’s cobwebs are waiting for us all. Though the blood of Christ does continually clean us (1 John 1:7), but sometimes we lose our focus and get all wrapped up in The Spider’s web. When that happens, we may tend to obsess about how we were wronged or how we woefully wronged someone else. It is significant to note that in such times it is apparent that our minds have been focusing on our yesterdays and our tomorrows, instead of simply looking up to Christ who is our RIGHT NOW. In many churches today there are people who feel spiritually miserable because they have been attacked by Satan’s Spiritual Spider Webs. Here’s how it happens: Some wrong word or deed occurs, and the next thing you know The Spider is attempting to set up housekeeping in your soul. And he always brings his darkness with him: things like hopelessness, anger, misery, isolation, rejection, worthlessness, jealousy, revenge & apathy. But we are not of the dark. We are Children of Light. Ephesians 5:8 “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.” Clearly, Satan wants to alienate us from God, and he is using our own minds to do so. Because of that, this book is needed. Because of that, this book was written. The action steps below indicate what we, as Christians, are supposed to do when we come face to face with our own human errors, and find Cobwebs in the Christian Soul. 2. ‘Fess Up! 3. Fix It! (Even If You Can’t, God Can!) 4. Move On 5. Live Better=Pray & Study GOD’S WORD 6. Be Actively Engaged in the Church So there you have it: six simple chapters based on six simple concepts. Let’s get started! In Him, Gayla Wood

Book excerpt: Drawing on a deep knowledge of Christian scripture as well as Hindu philosophy, musician and teacher Russill Paul reveals that the mystical core of religion offers us much more than the simple solace of unthinking dogma. By demonstrating that these two seemingly separate and irreconcilable religions can actually unite in one person’s spiritual practice at the center of his life — as they did in his — he offers an alternative to religious intolerance and strife, as well as hope for personal liberation.

Download or read book Abiding in God s Word written by Mrs. Beverly Claiborne and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012-07-12 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abiding in God’s Word shows Christians where they are still carnal and shallow; and also what it really means to abide in Christ. This book will encourage you to read your Bible, evaluate your spiritual condition, and strengthen your faith. The author shares her angelic experience, speaks about trials, tribulations, and the spiritual blindness Christians encounter in everyday life. You will embrace the true spirituality that heals, and experience freedom and wholeness. You will soften your heart, restore your faith, and recognize the sinful nature which keeps us separated from God. You will rise to a new level of worship and begin to demonstrate love like never before. Too often we expect others to function as we do, and then we are disappointed that they don’t. The Christian life is a journey and without the Holy Spirit dwelling in you—it’s impossible to live a life pleasing to God. Are you willing to abide?
Download or read book Am I My Brother s Keeper written by Mark W. Scarlata and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-05-14 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a wide-ranging meditation on the Cain and Abel narrative, Mark Scarlata draws out theological motifs relevant to Christian discipleship in a modern Western context. Taking his cue from Augustine's City of God, Scarlata brings to light what it means for a Christian to be a citizen of the heavenly city in this midst of a twenty-first-century globalized society. He argues that Christians can no longer think of discipleship merely as a personal, individual undertaking, but must recognize their role and responsibility as citizens in a global community. Each chapter raises questions like: How do we offer our best in worship when we live in a world driven by consumerism? How can we love others through our participation in the global economy? Are our lifestyles treating the environment in a way that is pleasing to God? And, how do we authentically connect to each other in a digital age of social media and mobile technology? These and other issues are addressed in relation to scenes from the Cain and Abel story. Each discussion highlights ancient Jewish and Christian interpretation as well as how a particular topic is understood within the broader context of the Old and New Testaments. Scarlata then offers ways that Christians might respond to the cultural shifts experienced by this generation and encourages readers to rethink what it means to be a citizen of God's kingdom with a local and global awareness in every aspect of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work entitled “The Assurance of God’s Love” was one of Byfield’s most popular works, and warmly received.

Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?” It is a treatise on assurance. Byfield covers sixteen infallible signs of a child of God as they appear by the testimony Scripture. Among these signs are poverty of spirit, godly sorrow, the love of God’s word, the love of God’s children, faith, uprightness of heart, holy desires and many others. Byfield explains and applies these signs demonstrating how a Christian may be assured that God loves him. This is an invaluable treatise to aid the Christian to grow in the love of Jesus Christ.

Book excerpt: Throughout the centuries Christians have sought to understand better the nature of the earliest features of the gospel message, for in that understanding lies the opportunity to make relevant the gospel's power to effect change" in other words, to put new wine into fresh wineskins. Veteran New Testament scholar Richard Longenecker explains how early Christians "contextualized" the gospel message for their hearers just as Christians do today. Specifically, "New Wine into Fresh Wineskins" focuses on the relationships among the early Christian confessions in the letters of Paul and the Gospels and looks at how the New Testament writers contextualized these confessions for their own hearers. The volume also reflects on how Christian confessions are adapted for later cultures and contexts. For example, the same gospel message both tells of the past and promises a future, it both encourages and admonishes, and it both reveals and conceals the mysteries of God. With careful analysis and appreciation for how early Christians understood Jesus in a variety of situations, Longenecker challenges readers with the always relevant truth of the gospel.
