Download or read book When Everything s on Fire written by Brian Zahnd and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it possible to hold on to faith in an age of unbelief? Intellectual certainty has long been a cornerstone of the Christian faith. But in an age of secularism, skepticism, and cynicism, our worldviews have been shaken. Various solutions exist—some double down on certainty, while others deconstruct their faith until there is nothing left at all. But Brian Zahnd offers a third way: what is needed is not a demolition but instead a renovation of faith. Written with personal and pastoral experience, Zahnd extends an invitation to move beyond the crisis of faith toward the journey of reconstruction. As the world rapidly changes in ways that feel incompatible with Christianity, When Everything's on Fire provides much-needed hope. A stronger, more confident faith is possible when it is grounded in the beauty and truth of Christ. Zahnd permits us to risk the journey of deconstruction so that God can forge something more beautiful in its place.

Download or read book Rhythms of Grace written by Kerri Weems and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is not a sprint; it’s a marathon. These well-known words of wisdom remind us to pace ourselves in the journey of life so we reach the finish line with no regrets. Pacing yourself is not as easy as it sounds. Life tends to take on a pace of its own which when left unchecked, will drive us toward burnout and fatigue. We can easily become driven by care, worry, and ambition rather than led by the Holy Spirit. We may tend to think of burnout as a modern problem, but we can see that people in Jesus’ day felt their own kind of spiritual and emotional fatigue. Why else would Jesus have said these comforting words? Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly (Matt. 11:28-30; The Message). Even though he spoke these words more than two millennia ago, Jesus’ call to rest and peace seem tailor-made to fit this generation. Author Kerri Weems had let the pace and rhythm of her life get out of control. At first the consequences were only physical, but they quickly impacted her spiritual life. Since then, God has been teaching her to walk in time with him; he is teaching her to be led rather than driven. In this book, she opens up her life and shares this journey with the reader. God’s best for each of us is that we go the full distance of our race, and not just crawl exhausted across the finish line. God wants us to enjoy the race and cross the line with our heads held high, a smile on our faces, and our arms lifted in a double fist-punch! Getting to that moment is all about learning the rhythms of grace and pacing ourselves for the long run.

Download or read book Get Lit Stay Lit Spread It written by Kelly K and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you on fire for Jesus like you want to be? Have you ever experienced the Christian "burn out"? The theory of the "Fire Triangle" states that you need three things to keep a fire burning; heat, fuel, and oxygen. Remove any one of these, and the fire will go out. The same can be said of your fire for God!We have an encounter with God, we get on fire, then we burn out. Sadly, this is the story of many believers lives. But this is not the life Jesus called us to live. Matthew 5 tells us in three simple steps, exactly what our "job" as followers of Christ is supposed to look like. 1. Get Lit. 2. Stay Lit. 3. Spread It!The key to not burning out lies in understanding what our heat, fuel and oxygen are. Once we understand these, and keep them active in our daily lives, our fire will NEVER burn out. And that is what Jesus intended for us all along when He said, "You are the light of the world, like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden."This book will teach you how easy it is to truly get on fire for God and stay on fire. By applying the theory of the "fire triangle," looking at stories from the Bible, and personal testimonies, you will be inspired to become a wild fire for Jesus by getting lit, staying lit, and spreading it!
