Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Evangelical Ministry, the Security of a Nation: A Sermon, Preached in Behalf of the American Home Missionary Society, in the Bleecker Street Church, New York, January 2, 1848 Thus, is every God-fearing man in our world, a living illustration, and a standing, unanswerable proof of the sentiment of my text, that "the people who do know their God shall be strong." But if the doctrine of my text, in this relation, admits of no dispute, am I treading upon questionable ground, when I affirm that the history of nations as such, will furnish its no less clear and convincing illustrations 1 What is true of men as individuals, must be true of the same men as members of the social compact. The distinction between organic and individual life, if indeed there is any distinction, is certainly too transcendental to be used for any practical purpose. We can hardly conceive of a community, separate from the individuals who compose it, and I shall not be called upon to prove, that when individual life ceases universally, organic life must be extinct. So we cannot separate national character from the character of those who go to make up the nation. Paralyze the industry of men as individuals, and you dry up the resources of the community - depress the tone of morals universally, and you have a wide-spread scene of national degeneracy; and whatever influence predominates, so as to regulate the feelings, aims and pursuits of men, must determine the organic character of the nation to which they belong.

Book excerpt: Securing Church Operations is a seven-step plan for ministry and safety leaders. If you are just starting a safety program or have had one established for many years, the seven steps will encourage and engage you to look deeper into the governance and accountability of your church operations, no matter the size of your church. Factors such as culture, environment, beliefs, and denial are some of the things that are challenging to govern in security ministry. The seven steps provide the answer in how to maintain an open and welcoming environment but secure your church operations. The topics covered in this book include security culture, forming a safety committee, protecting your perimeter, conducting a security assessment, writing policy and procedures, training staff and volunteers, and implementing a safety team.The Author, Simon Osamoh was overseeing counterterrorism at Mall of America in Minnesota in 2012 when a local church asked for his help building a safety program. As a 20-year security practitioner and a Christian, helping this church created a passion to go on to help hundreds of churches across America to build safety programs. In Securing Church Operations he shares his years of best practice teaching safety and security methodology from a biblical perspective.

Download or read book Jesus and John Wayne How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation written by Kristin Kobes Du Mez and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The “paradigm-influencing” book (Christianity Today) that is fundamentally transforming our understanding of white evangelicalism in America. Jesus and John Wayne is a sweeping, revisionist history of the last seventy-five years of white evangelicalism, revealing how evangelicals have worked to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism—or in the words of one modern chaplain, with “a spiritual badass.” As acclaimed scholar Kristin Du Mez explains, the key to understanding this transformation is to recognize the centrality of popular culture in contemporary American evangelicalism. Many of today’s evangelicals might not be theologically astute, but they know their VeggieTales, they’ve read John Eldredge’s Wild at Heart, and they learned about purity before they learned about sex—and they have a silver ring to prove it. Evangelical books, films, music, clothing, and merchandise shape the beliefs of millions. And evangelical culture is teeming with muscular heroes—mythical warriors and rugged soldiers, men like Oliver North, Ronald Reagan, Mel Gibson, and the Duck Dynasty clan, who assert white masculine power in defense of “Christian America.” Chief among these evangelical legends is John Wayne, an icon of a lost time when men were uncowed by political correctness, unafraid to tell it like it was, and did what needed to be done. Challenging the commonly held assumption that the “moral majority” backed Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020 for purely pragmatic reasons, Du Mez reveals that Trump in fact represented the fulfillment, rather than the betrayal, of white evangelicals’ most deeply held values: patriarchy, authoritarian rule, aggressive foreign policy, fear of Islam, ambivalence toward #MeToo, and opposition to Black Lives Matter and the LGBTQ community. A much-needed reexamination of perhaps the most influential subculture in this country, Jesus and John Wayne shows that, far from adhering to biblical principles, modern white evangelicals have remade their faith, with enduring consequences for all Americans.

Keeping Your Church Safe is a practical blueprint for churches covering all aspects of church security and safety for staff, premises and members. It's a well-outlined, easy-to-follow guide in establishing an effective security program for congregations of all sizes. "Given the uncertain times in which we live and increasing threats to our churches, Ron has written a practical, thorough, easy-to-read book that should be a textbook for any church. More importantly, he loves the Lord and His church and has dedicated his life to making sure Christ is exalted in the best and safest way possible." Bob Russell (retired) Senior Minister Southeast Christian Church Louisville, Kentucky "Addressing topics rarely discussed but realistic, this book is an excellent guide for church administrators, security managers, board chairpersons, volunteers or anyone serious about protecting our places of worship. It has been written as a result of years invested in "front line" experience. It contains the insight of a safety manager, site security chief, dignitary protection administrator and a special event commander, all in one."

Download or read book Security written by W. Purkiser and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-28 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no question in the mind of any true child of God about the fact of his security in the Father's keeping. To say that those who do not accept one particular theory concerning Christian security are therefore without such assurance is incorrect. I do not have to be told that I cannot under any circumstances take my own life in order to be free from fear of suicide. The security of the real Christian is complete and entire, wanting nothing. There are, however, some very false and therefore very dangerous notions abroad as to the nature of Christian security. A false security is worse than none at all, for it breeds carelessness and unfounded confidence. True security demands knowledge of the conditions on which it rests. "Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall" (1 Cor. 10:12). It is our firm conviction that any teaching regarding the security of the believer which allows for deliberate disobedience to God in the "Christian" life is a travesty on the Bible. Any doctrine which offers hope to the backslider that his salvation is assured apart from a personal repentance and return to the Lord is false security. Unfortunately, many who teach what is popularly known as "eternal security" teach exactly that, as numerous quotations from their writings would show. This teaching is dangerous and unscrip-tural. True security demands complete repudiation of such a doctrine. No attempt is made here to cite authorities, although care has been taken to copy word for word the passages indicated in quotation marks. It is primarily our desire to see what "saith the Lord." All Bible quotations are from the King James Version, but a check of the more recent versions will indicate that the teaching of no passage is materially altered in any good translation. We propose to study some of the great security promises in order that their truth may safeguard our souls and keep us from presumptuous sins. "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee" (Ps. 119:11). In this way we shall know the true security promised to all of God's children. It is not our wish to be argumentative, although argument is involved when contrasting points of view are set against each other. Our title for this booklet is an obvious paraphrase of the title of Dr. Harry A. Ironside's book, Holiness: the False and the True, a book ably answered by Henry Brockett in Scriptural Freedom from Sin (Kansas City, Mo.: Beacon Hill Press, 1941). Brother Ironside did not believe in the Wesley-an doctrine of holiness, nor can I accept his theory of security. A more complete examination of the issues in Christian security has been made by R. A. Shank in his volume entitled Life in the Son. Coming as it does from evangelical circles traditionally supporting the doctrine known as eternal security, its thorough refutation of this theory is the more impressive.
