Download or read book The Treasure Principle Revised and Updated written by Randy Alcorn and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2012-04-11 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover how the joy of giving can make your life richer, starting today. Bestselling author Randy Alcorn introduced readers to a revolution in material freedom and radical generosity with the release of the original The Treasure Principle in 2001. Now the revision to the compact, perennial bestseller includes a provocative new concluding chapter depicting God asking a believer questions about his stewardship over material resources. Jesus spent more time talking about money and possessions than about heaven and hell combined. But too often we’ve overlooked or misunderstood his most profound teaching on this topic, from his words in Matthew 6. Jesus offers us life-changing investment advice. He actually wants us to store up treasures for ourselves—just not here on earth. Instead, he urges us to store our treasure in heaven, where they will await us, and last forever. We can’t take it with us—but we can send it on ahead! Readers are moved from the realms of thoughtful Bible exposition into the highly personal arena of everyday life. Because when Jesus told His followers to “lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,” He intended that they discover an astounding secret: how joyful giving brings God maximum glory and His children maximum pleasure. In The Treasure Principle, you’ll unearth a radical teaching of Jesus—a secret wrapped up in giving. Once you discover this secret, life will never look the same. And you won’t want it to be. “Supercharged with stunning, divine truth! Lightning struck over and over as I read it.” - John Piper, Senior Pastor, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis

Download or read book With written by Skye Jethani and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2011-08-22 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With explores the narrative of the Bible to show that we were created to be with God, and that restoring this connection is his mission. Instead of life over, under, from, or even for God, what leads us into freedom and restoration is life with God. Why are American Christians, who have more access to biblical teaching than any other people in history, failing to experience the freedom of the Christian life? Why are pastors, those closest to the work and ministry, burning out at an alarming rate? Why do many church members, who give large amounts of their time and wealth to Christ and his kingdom, secretly question the legitimacy of their efforts? And why are spiritual seekers dismissing the validity of the Christian message? Is it possible we’ve misunderstood the call of the Christian life? A life lived in rich communion with God cultivates faith, hope, and love in a way that transforms both us and the broken world we inhabit. In With, you’ll find: illustrations of concepts in the book to aid understanding; recommendations for how to practice communion with God, including three helpful practices; and a discussion guide for use when continuing the conversation with others in small groups. Endorsements: If we've grown weary of Christianity, if we find most any local church uninspiring, maybe the problem lies not in the Christian faith or these faithful bodies, but in our own disgruntled hearts. In With, Skye Jethani tenderly unmasks the clichéd posturing that too often masquerades as genuine communion with Christ. More importantly, he takes readers to the humble place they must occupy--in prayer, studying Scripture, with the Church--if faith, hope, and love are to truly mark our lives. -James H. Gilmore, author, The Experience Economy It doesn’t matter, as old theologians were rumored to argue, how many angels can dance on a pinhead. But it does matter which preposition governs your faith--over, after, against, for, from, under, with. Who knew what huge worlds turn on such tiny words? Who knew what theological riches were laced into the bones of grammar? Skye has done a great service to the church. In prose elegant and clear, with insights keen and deep, he shows how everything changes with just one word: With. It’s a book I want my whole church to read. -Mark Buchanan, author of Spiritual Rhythm Who knew that a preposition had so much influence? Skye's book will challenge the way that you think about God and faith, digging deep into our motivations and heart issues. You can't read this book and not see yourself and others differently! -Margaret Feinberg, author of Scouting the Divine and Hungry for God

Download or read book Treasure in the Field written by Robert A. Krieg and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to say that God offers salvation to humanity? What is this salvation, and how can we become more conscious of it in our lives? These are the questions that Robert Krieg faces in Treasure in the Field. While his intent is certainly to impart information and ideas found in Scripture, church teaching, and theology, it is also to illumine our own experiences. Krieg retrieves the Bible's teaching on salvation and expresses it in contemporary terms. Drawing deeply from Scripture, he defines salvation as God's gift of personal identity, of wholeness. In this perspective, God calls us not to invent ourselves but to discover ourselves as God intends us to be. Those who gradually make this discovery become grateful recipients who give themselves and their talents for the well-being of other people and creation. Robert A. Krieg is professor of theology at the University of Notre Dame. He is the editor and translator of Romano Guardini: Spiritual Writings, as well as the author of Romano Guardini: A Precursor of Vatican II; Karl Adam: Catholicism in German Culture; and Story-Shaped Christology. His work has also appeared in America, Theological Studies, Worship, and many other journals.

Download or read book God s Treasure written by Dr. Pocahontas Schuck and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1978 Ron Wyatt and his two sons discovered and photographed ancient wheels on the floor of the Red Sea. Mr. Wyatt took one of these wheels, a hub with eight spokes, to the director of antiquities in Cairo. The director verified the wheel to be from the eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. Less than ten years later in 1984 they discovered Mt. Sinai in Saudi Arabia. The mountain they found was immediately recognizable due to the fact that only the top was blackened. Exodus 19:18 records that in God’s anger He sent fire down to the top of the mountain. The book is unique in that it takes a mystery of ancient history and explains it in a compelling, easy to follow, and understandable read. There are details that substantiate historical and geographical research, the journey of Moses. Let’s go back in time when two million people walked on dry ground on a pathway normally covered by a sea, each side with mile deep canyons similar to the Grand Canyon of the United States. Learn the background and setting of one of the most miraculous Acts of God that has ever been written...... “Dr. Schuck presents real facts that bring to light truth about a mystery of ancient history. Utilizing her extensive teaching background and solid research she presents a factual and concise narrative of what really happened in The Red Sea Crossing. She makes the case for the true story in a way that is compelling, easy to follow and understandable. I highly recommend this book for all who seek truth.

It was such a comfort to read the amazing details in God’s Treasure Red Sea Crossing that substantiate, through historical and geographical research, the journey of Moses.

Download or read book Treasure in Heaven written by Virgil Vogt and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2007-02-01 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where is your treasure? The scriptural teaching about money is clear, radical, and uncompromising -- and at odds with the practice of most people. This presents an uncomfortable question: do we change our lives in accordance with Scripture or do we change Scripture to fit our lives? Virgil Vogt argues that we undermine Scripture's authority when we disregard its teaching about wealth or when we conclude that such teaching cannot be applied in a complex, modern economy. The Bible, Vogt says, is still the best guide to economic life. Scripture teaches a consistent word about our possessions: we are to use the things we have to gain eternal riches. This teaching, coupled with the principle of stewardship, should govern our economic lives. But it takes courage along with genuine faith and a single-minded determination to live according to the Bible's standard in this area. 'Treasure in Heaven' offers a challenge for all Christians who want to bring their finances into line with God's Word.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Treasure is invaluable. The TREASURE who is Jesus Christ is more than that. Find out from the first in The TREASURE series with a focus on His life and ministry presented around 18 themes. They include: His profound strategy for ministry and teaching style which are applicable today for ministry. His prayer life which set the pace for the believers and establishes the importance of it for successful ministry and victorious Christian living. His humility, despite being God, challenged His friends and foe but remain a lasting legacy for current christian leadership. His commitment to delivering His Father’s business made Him conscientious and focused; a sure foundation for all believers and ministry endeavors. His miracles confirmed His omnipotence; an inspiration for Kingdom workers to embrace and expect the grace of signs and wonders. His last prayer and words on the cross were His exit reports; a clear indication that He had finished His assignment. However, His exit was rather ‘au revoire’ and ‘à bientôt’; goodbye and see you soon, as He handed over to the Holy Spirit who was going to be with all who received Him and believed in His name. As such, He commissioned follow up to His work by His followers with an assured presence and return to take them home. There is therefore an open Call to life in Him which renders the TREASURE chest open to all. Getting to know how Jesus Christ accomplished His mission on earth will contribute to avoiding pitfalls and re- invention of the wheel by Kingdom workers. Ministry work is still a learning curve for many. In this regard, The TREASURE is a welcome and handy resource until the finished line is crossed.
