Download or read book To Speak Well of God An Exposition of the Book of Job written by John Pople and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-02-04 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It begins with the Divine injunction: "Have you considered my servant Job?" The Biblical drama of Job is haunting. A blameless man is tormented by 'the Satan': stripped of wealth, status, possessions, health and children - all with God's permission! Who is this Satan? More chilling still, who is this God? And why, despite this cataclysmic carnage, does the drama focus on the resulting argument between Job and his 3 friends? The ending of the drama seems no clearer. When God reveals Himself, what is He saying? Finally, God restores Job. Yet does this truly repair His permitted destruction of him? With its distinctive identification of the Satan, this interpretation offers unique insights into the classic interactions between God, Satan and the Righteous Man; revealing the Messianic message encoded within. Most importantly it lends reason to persevere in faith, as Job did; and speak well of God.
Download or read book Gender Roles and the People of God written by Alice Mathews and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most women in the church don't aspire to "lord" it over men, nor do they want to scramble for position. Instead, they want to be accepted as full participants in God's work, sharing in kingdom tasks in ways that use their gifts appropriately. In Gender Roles and the People of God, author, radio host, and professor at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, Alice Mathews surveys the roles women have played in the Bible and throughout church history, demonstrating both the inspiring contributions of women and the many hurdles that have been placed in their path. Along the way, she investigates the difficult passages often used to preclude women from certain areas of service, pointing to better and more faithful understandings of those verses. Encouraging and hopeful, Mathews aims for an "egalitarian complementarity" in which men and women use all of their gifts in the church together, in partnership, for the glory of God.

Download or read book Clouds over the Goalpost written by Lew Freedman and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pro football season of 1963 was dominated by the unexpected. In April, months prior to the beginning of play, it was revealed that two All-Star players, Paul Hornung and Alex Karras, were gambling on the sport and would be suspended from play for at least a year. Even worse, in May, one of the league’s bigger-than-life personalities, Big Daddy Lipscomb, was found dead, with police saying he perished from a heroin overdose, something those who knew him best still dispute. As play began in September, the Pro Football Hall of Fame opened its doors in Canton, Ohio, the same town where the National Football League was founded in 1921 and inducted its first class. Also, the war for players and prestige raged with the upstart American Football League trying to obtain equal footing in the public eye. On the field, it was to be the year the Chicago Bears and their aging owner-coach George Halas knew glory once more, fighting off the latest dynasty Green Bay Packers led by Vince Lombardi in a season-long chase for the Western Division title. Yet even that was overshadowed by the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. While the nation mourned and other sports leagues suspended activity, the NFL played on with its regular season that sad weekend—a choice commissioner Pete Rozelle later called the worst mistake of his tenure. Clouds over the Goalpost is filled with controversy not only on the field, but off it as well. From the various suspensions to an exciting championship game between the Bears and Giants, 1963 was a year that the NFL would never forget—for both the good and the bad.

Download or read book Bamboo Goalposts written by Rowan Simons and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2010-11-30 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rowan Simons has lived (and played football) in China for over twenty years and Bamboo Goalposts is his amusing and insightful account of what it’s like to live, work and play there. He presents and works with Beijing TV and runs his own media company, but his real passion is getting China to embrace the social and health benefits of amateur football. Which isn’t easy in a country where for decades it was illegal for more than ten people to congregate for the purposes of a recreational sporting activity. Rowan built a football pitch and clubhouse and now heads Club Football - http://www.clubfootball.com.cn – whose growing membership has given him genuine hope that by the time the Beijing Olympics begin in 2008 he might be getting somewhere. No other book communicates more clearly, more humourously and more affectionately what contemporary China is like when viewed through Western eyes. Rowan speaks fluent Chinese and his love of the country and its people shines off every page. He has lived there for so long that he understands what it takes to get ahead, but at the same time he is still very much a down-to-earth English football fan who just wants to share his passion for the beautiful game. Bamboo Goalposts is a personal odyssey inspired by the selfless pioneers of amateur football who took the game around the world in centuries past, but somehow missed China.

Book excerpt: Encouragement for the Day: Messages of Inspiration and Challenge expands on the messages Pastor Charles Allard delivered on three North Carolina radio stations in the 1980s and 1990s. The popular daily messages of encouragement were broadcast at random times reaching a wide audience of listeners. High school students riding buses were known to hush their classmates to hear the messages. One listener even called Allard at 1:30 a.m. to tell him that he had just heard one of his messages and that was in a place he should not be—and wanted to turn his life over to Jesus. Topics featured include setting priorities, finding your purpose, giving glory to God, hearing the Lord speak, being patient, counting your blessings, focusing on what matters, and taking responsibility for your actions. Written for daily meditation, prayer, and spiritual growth, the devotional will help you overcome everyday struggles, encourage others to walk with the Lord, and look to Christ for help, strength, and salvation. Hebrews 10:24-25 NIV let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching: SPECIAL INCLUSION: A complete guide for home Advent celebration with family and friends.
