Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 What is the meaning of life? Faith, Truth, and the Pursuit of Life: Poems of Hope and Love is a poetry collection which attempts to answer this universal question with an answer which takes many of us a lifetime to find, and even then, it is found by faith. We spend countless days of our brief existence on earth in search for an answer to this mysterious question; what is the meaning of life, the meaning of my life? The love we experience in our relationships give life meaning; we love one another with patience and sacrifice. Life is mysterious, but with Jesus, it makes sense. Without Him, life is selfish. Relationships crumble without the love of God in our hearts. To find the truth of love, we must have faith in something greater. So we seek. Often we find the answer to the meaning of life in the earth and the stars, or in ancient words and rituals from the people who lived before us, or inside of every human heart. Wherever we find the clues, they come together to form an answer, the answer which leads to God. The poems I share seek to answer the mysteries of life, and to consider the true way to live our relationships with others and with our Creator. I have pursued life, the hope for life eternal, and I have found the answer in the truth of Jesus. I hope my poems will inspire and motivate you to pursue the truth of life, and may God bless your journey with faith, hope, and love.

Download or read book Cosmic Chemistry written by John C Lennox and published by Lion Books. This book was released on 2021-09-17 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this accessible and engaging introduction, [John Lennox] guides us through the great debates about science and faith, and offers incisive assessments of the issues." Alister McGrath, Professor of Science and Religion, University of Oxford Is the rigorous pursuit of scientific knowledge really compatible with a sincere faith in God? Building on the arguments put forward in God’s Undertaker: Has Science Buried God?, Prof John Lennox examines afresh the plausibility of a Christian theistic worldview in the light of some of the latest developments in scientific understanding. Prof Lennox focuses on the areas of evolutionary theory, the origins of life and the universe, and the concepts of mind and consciousness to provide a detailed and compelling introduction to the science and religion debate. He also offers his own reasoning as to why he continues to be convinced by a Christian approach to explaining these phenomena. Robust in its reasoning, but respectful in tone, this book is vital reading for anyone exploring the relationship between science and God.

Book excerpt: Reflections on Christ, from a beloved spiritual writer A. W. Tozer was a man of remarkable knowledge, an avid reader of Christian writers and philosophers from throughout the ages. But he meditated on the Bible. He was, like John Wesley, "a man of one Book and a student of many." Combine this with his poignant writing style and you have works like this one, high thoughts of God brought low, yet no less moving. Jesus: The Life and Ministry of God the Son features selections from Tozer's writings on the God-man, Jesus Christ. It follows the chronology of Christ's earthly life and explores classic themes of Christology, helping readers better comprehend and appreciate Jesus' person and work. When you set out to study Christ, you want to behold His splendor the best you can. That's why writers like A. W. Tozer are excellent guides: they love the Lord, know Him well, and yet have a way with the written word. They're able to lay the weight of glory on the human heart as few can. Read Jesus and appreciate anew the Savior of the world and the power of the written word to glorify His name.

Stalling, who starred as Tony Jordan in the hit faith-based film War Room, shares an amazing and inspirational story of courageously pursuing his God-given purpose. Then in 14 days he will equip and encourage you to do the same! The only thing that can stop the plan of God for your life from succeeding is you. This is not because you have the “power” to stop God. It’s because He does not force His divine will on anyone, and instead, graciously allows us to choose what we do with it. Stopping the plan of God for your life from succeeding only happens one way—by not choosing to accept and pursue it. Why would anyone not want God’s plan for their lives? Maybe doubt, fear, uncertainty? Some people do not even know that God has a specific purpose and plan for their time on earth. The Pursuit contains 14 days of 14 Scriptures with 14 inspirational devotions, combined with real-life examples of how to apply each pursuit principle. Knowing that the one and only all-powerful God of the universe has designed an unstoppable plan for your life should cause you to chase after this plan with everything you have! You are God’s creation. You have your own God-given purpose that is waiting to be pursued. Will you pursue it? Get ready. 14 days could change everything.

Download or read book Agnostic Ish written by Josh Buoy and published by . This book was released on 2016-04-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about science, religion, and the world in between. I was born into a Christian family, but fell out of religion and in love with the scientific method. I had little need of faith, I thought, when science could tell me so much more about the world, and ask so little of me in return. But as I aged into young adulthood, a new chapter of my story began. Did I really know why I believed what I believed? How could I be so certain of my convictions when I hadn't even honestly considered the evidence? This book traces my journey through the furthest reaches of thought, a journey that took me through the realms of psychology, biology, physics, and belief. Could I find a place for faith in the modern world? Or was I right to cast it off as I did?

Download or read book The Pursuit of Happiness God s Way written by Servais Pinckaers and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-07-18 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we think of happiness, we have to admit that our idea is at times worldly and self-centered. Jesus in His Sermon on the Mount showed us that true happiness will elude us, however, if we follow that kind of thinking. And, in the form of a series of promises and challenges, which we have come to know as the Beatitudes, He told us how to find perfect happiness--both here and in the hereafter. In a world that is capable of the best and the worst, we all have reason to be concerned about the very possibility of ever finding happiness in our lifetimes. The good news of the Gospel message is that we can. Even more, it teaches a way based not on rules and obligations so much as one founded on love, a way that depends upon and leads to the blessings of God Himself. These pages have been written in the conviction that every seeker should make the Sermon on the Mount the primary source of what will and will not make her happy. In His approach to the question, Jesus insists from the outset that we face up to the inevitable trials of life: poverty, tears, hunger and thirst, and shows us how we can find God--the source and object of our joy--in the midst of them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known for his deeply mystical writings about Christianity, Nicholas of Cusa wrote this, his most popular work, against a backdrop of widespread Church corruption. God, he believed, is found in all things, and thus cannot be perceived by man's senses and intellect alone. The path to ultimate knowledge, then, begins in recognizing our own ignorance. Deeply influenced by Saint Augustine, Nicholas mixes the metaphysical with the personal to create a deeply felt work, first published in 1453, designed to restore faith in even the most jaded.

Download or read book A Disruptive Faith written by Tozer A. W. and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2011-07-13 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word ''faith'' is common these days, but placing one's faith in God is a weighty action, uncommonly fraught with consequence and, by His design, inconvenience. Faith in God is reassuring and comforting only insofar as believers trust Him - and that depth of trust is the mark of a mature Christian who has allowed faith to intrude on his life and shift his gaze away from his own aims, needs and desires. This is nothing if not a painful and disturbing process. A Disruptive Faith is A. W. Tozer's never-before-published teaching on what he termed ''faith that perturbs'' - faith that contradicts the unbelieving man and threatens the complacency of the Christian. The renowned pastor and teacher insists in these pages that genuine faith breeds dissatisfaction with this life, by God's design; it weans us from this temporary life and prepares us for the life to come. Readers will learn to be content with this faith-inspired discontent and to experience a fresh hope for eternity with God.
