Book excerpt: You are the fountain of life, light, and all grace and truth The hearts of the first Christians beat with praise for Christ. The strength of their devotion is remarkable, considering the times of uncertainty and persecution in which they lived. Despite all of this, the early church flourished, sustained by the God to whom they prayed. Christians today have a lot to learn from the devotional life of the early church. In Fount of Heaven, a collection of carefully selected prayers from the first six centuries of the church, we can pray with our spiritual forefathers. Prayers from luminaries such as Clement of Rome, Irenaeus, and Augustine are arranged by theme to reveal the right prayer for the moment. The prayers have been slightly updated to read more easily, but they retain their joy and mystery. As we turn to the prayers of the first Christians, we can return to the foundations of our own faith.

Download or read book Sermons from the Fount written by Dr Tommy Mthembu and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-09-26 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CHAPTER 1 In the very first chapter a discussion is opened and titled: open the eyes of my heart Lord. This sets up the main running theme of the book that Gods guidance, direction and path be every believers aim and focus. God is shown as the final arbiter in all of mans affairs. We are encouraged to seek the revealed truth in our lives. Our prayer and wish should be that God directs all our ways. The story of the prophet Elisha under attack is used to illustrate Gods providence for his children. Because Elishas spiritual eyes are open, he is not filled with fear and panic in light of his enemies but is reassured of Gods protective shield over his life. God surrounds his children with his love. God is a warrior and fights our battles. CHAPTER 2 Nothing is too hard for the Lord. Sarah and Abraham had been married for a long time and had no children. They even tried to help God in this regard but their attempt was remiss. Our faith in God helps us to get results that are otherwise impossible. Sarah was rich, had a large household, servants, and animals and all but lacked one thing, a son she could call her own. This became a source of misery and ridicule for her. As rich as she was, when people looked at her they just remembered her shortcoming and constantly reminded her about it. Her faith gave birth to strength and power. Through the faithfulness of God and her practicing faith principles she bore a son when all hope was lost. Read her story to build your faith and see your trust in God soar. CHAPTER 3 The book of James admonishes Christians to be glad when they face tough testing situations. This results in patience, a requisite believers virtue. Temptations and trials may leave us broken, dejected and discouraged. We may be broken but not valueless, because God sees value in us however our status; as he is in the business of transforming our lives. God is able to spring to life and quicken our spirit even after adverse experiences. The life of Paul the apostle is used to illustrate that we can endure all sorts of persecution to remain in focus, on the right path and remain resolute in our faith. Like a diamond we can withstand pressure in order to let our light shine through. CHAPTER 4 God is powerful far beyond our imagination or comprehension; there is no limit to what He can do. Its only when we come to Him that we can reach our fullest potential. God also possess all wisdom. This is why it is not prudent to put ones trust in the help of man. Gods wisdom does not fail. The story of Noah teaches us that through Gods wisdom he, an unlearned and unqualified engineer; built, maintained, sailed and saved humanity and all animals all at once. Can you begin to marvel at the plumbing and ablution feat this must have been! Everything we are capable of counts for nothing if the source is not God. He has the power to change the times and the seasons of our lives. He can change your time of mourning into a time of joy. God is all-powerful; everything on earth is under His control. CHAPTER 5 Sometimes the troubles and tribulations that follow us cant seem to have an end. They leave us feeling forsaken. We may remove our eyes from God and focus on them. An account of how the children of Israel were faced with their enemy on countless occasions but finally prevailed is given. Gods leading through Moses and Aaron is expounded. Against Pharaoh they had an indomitable, ferocious, stubborn adversary. Time after time even after relenting, he would be oppressively behind the children of Israel. I show in this account that no matter how many our enemies, no matter how well armed, no matter our humble unprotected lowly position, God fights our battles for us. We know we can prevail through him. CHAPTER 6 The book of Ezra depicts a picture of a people who were heavily discouraged. It speaks of people who were told they would never finish what God had commissioned them to do. Zerubbabel is the leader at th

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story is a personal testimony of God's amazing and intimate work in my life. Despite a haunting childhood and struggles in my adult years, God has blessed my journey tremendously. Even though I have been a Christian for most of my days, there were decades that all I could see were the trials. I felt distanced from God, yet, at the same time I knew that He was my only hope. So I blamed myself for the disconnection and my many shortcomings. I tried hard to be a "good Christian" but continually failed, damaging my marriage and maligning my parenting. Counseling had helped some, but turmoil still raged within me. I sank increasingly deeper into depression and anxiety while striving to be everything I thought others expected of me. Yet, all the while God was conscious of my struggles. Even more, He was actively interceding on my behalf. Well before I was conscious of it, God was sustaining me through the turmoil and fortifying me for my biggest challenge to date. When I felt at my weakest, God proved faithful to His promise of comfort and strength. Not only did He carry me, He championed my victory over the hold that darkness once had on my past. In an amazing way that only God could orchestrate, He redeemed my existence and set me free with new found joy and purpose. I now feel His love, His grace, and His power in a way that I never could before. The journey was challenging to say the least, but I wouldn't trade this walk with God for anything. My hope is that those who read my story will find encouragement and leave its pages in awe of the Great Father God, Savior Son, and Empowering Holy Spirit, Who are worthy of all praise.

Download or read book Violence and Non Violence across Time written by Sudhir Chandra and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book probes the complex interweaving, across time and cultures, of violence and non-violence from the perspective of the present. One of the first of its kind, it offers a comprehensive examination of the interpenetration of violence and non-violence as much in human nature as in human institutions with reference to different continents, cultures and religions over centuries. It points to the present paradox that even as violence of unprecedented lethality threatens the very survival of humankind, non-violence increasingly appears as an unlikely feasible alternative. The essays presented here cover a wide cultural–temporal spectrum — from Vedic sacrifice, early Jewish–Christian polemics, the Crusades, and medieval Japan to contemporary times. They explore aspects of the violence–non-violence dialectic in a coherent frame of analysis across themes such as war, jihad, death, salvation, religious and philosophical traditions including Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Islam, mysticism, monism, and Neoplatonism, texts such as Ramayana, Mahabharata and Quran, as well as issues faced by Dalits and ethical imperatives for clinical trials, among others. Offering thematic width and analytical depth to the treatment of the subject, the contributors bring their disciplinary expertise and cultural insights, ranging from the historical to sociological, theological, philosophical and metaphysical, as well as their sensitive erudition to deepening an understanding of a grave issue. The book will be useful to scholars and researchers of history, peace and conflict studies, political science, political thought and cultural studies, as well as those working on issues of violence and non-violence.
