Download or read book Free Will and the Seven Stages to Christian Maturity written by Brad Price and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2019-02-16 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There were two issues that were foundational to this intellectual quagmire I found myself in. First was the problem of universal selfishness—I discovered, to my horror, that all my choices were essentially selfish, and I viewed everyone else through these dark-tinted spectacles as well. I saw no way out of this labyrinth. Not only did my will seem trapped, I was led to believe it didn’t exist at all, for our biology book plainly stated that man is a product of his environment and heredity, and thus all choices must be predetermined by outside forces. Therefore, free will was an illusion, which negated love, which in turn called God into question—at least, the god of the Bible who is declared to be the judge of all. For how could he be just if we haven’t the capacity to choose?

Download or read book Truth Plus Love written by Matt Brown and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine what our world might look like if Christians became known for remarkable love, as well as life-giving truth. The stakes are high and the need is great for Christians to represent Jesus to a watching world. And today, we have more influence than ever before--for better and for worse. We are among the first generations to have access to a global megaphone through social media. But it's not enough to speak truth louder to a noisy culture. To counter the reputation Christians have earned, our love must be just as loud. Ask evangelist Matt Brown, and he will tell you Christians today are facing a crisis of influence. In our rush to speak truth to today's tensions, cultural issues, and trending controversies, it becomes all too easy to focus on proving our points rather than extending God's grace. Conversely, when we seek only to love yet never proclaim a better way, we short-circuit God's plan. Truth Plus Love invites you to rediscover the biblical framework for engaging culture as ambassadors of Christ. Through biblical insight, cultural analysis, and practical principles, Matt Brown outlines how to champion truth without compromise, how to love unconditionally, and ultimately, how to step into this great adventure of representing God to the world. It's hard, it's messy, and it's the unfinished project of a lifetime, yet here we find our great adventure: representing God to a watching world.

Download or read book The Four Stages of Spiritual Growth written by Dirk Waren and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-18 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible reveals that there are four stages of spiritual growth. Understanding them is fascinating and will help you SEE where you ARE spiritually and where you need to go. It will also help you to locate where others are so you can understand their position and relate to them accordingly. STAGE ONE is actually a stage of spiritual darkness where the individual is separate from God and in need of spiritual regeneration. The next three stages apply to the development of the believer. The Bible refers to these three stages in terms of childhood, youth and maturity (1 John 2:9-14). Too many Christians get stuck in STAGE TWO, which is the institutional stage of growth where believers learn the fundamentals and are dependent upon pastors for their spiritual health. STAGE TWO is strategic and essential, but it's unwise to get stuck there. This book shows you HOW to keep growing and provides the necessary tools.

Download or read book Fathered by God written by John Eldredge and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2009-04-20 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an age when fathers are more important than ever, how do you embark on your journey to manhood and know how to steer clear of the dangers along the way? In Fathered by God, New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge reminds us that there's a path to masculinity and, best of all, there's a loving Father ready to help us follow it. In Fathered by God, Eldredge calls men back to a simple and reassuring truth: God is our Father, and he wants to show us what masculinity really means. Eldredge teaches us that there's a path leading to authentic manhood, cut by generation after generation of men. There are perils along the trail, even disasters--all the more reason to rely on the guidance of a Father who has gone before us. A boy has a lot to learn in his journey to becoming a man, and it takes the active intervention of father figures and the fellowship of other men to guide us along the way. Eldredge shares that in all of life's trials and triumphs, God is initiating boys and men through the stages of manhood. Through personal stories and practical guidance, Eldredge provides a map through the six stages of a man's journey and answers some of the most common questions about manhood that he's received over the years, including: How can I set a good example for my son? What does the Bible teach us about masculinity? How can I become the man that God designed me to be? Fathered by God maps out the path of manhood--not more rules, not another list of principles, not formulas, but a well-worn path that men have followed for centuries before us. Discover the truth about masculinity and become the man that God sees in you.

Download or read book God s Will for Our Daily Lives written by William Luke and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-04-13 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GOD'S WILL FOR OUR DAILY LIVES Includes Sower chart via separate download or email. This book clearly explains Christ's teaching concerning God's will for daily life. And it shows that His teaching is complete and final. Other books about God's will for daily life consistently say either that we should, keep the ten commandments, live by the new testament letters, or follow divine inspiration. These are the three main schools of thought today, and they are all flawed. The bible clearly says that we are to do what Christ says, and this book clearly explains it. From the basic phases of spiritual growth, to the controversial issue of sin in a believer's life, this book clarifies all of God's will for daily life. In this groundbreaking explanation of Christ's teaching [sermon on mount], you will find God's will clearly defined and explained. You will learn what God requires of every one of us, including: Spiritual development - from acceptance of Christ's gospel through to maturity. Sacred duty - from enduring persecution to producing a testament. Rightness in life - concerning the Mosaic Law, works of faith, and Christ's Law. Goodness at heart - in relation to God, possessions, and people. Rightness in God's sight - concerning the teaching of man, of Christ, and of the devil. You will also learn that Christ is the supreme authority concerning God's will, and our complete salvation [armour of God]. Whether you are a church leader, a Bible believer, or a person yet in search of the Truth, GOD'S WILL FOR OUR DAILY LIVES will once and for all resolve any ignorance, misunderstanding, or curiosity, that you may have concerning God's will for your daily life. Includes a FREE full-colour chart, via download.
