Download or read book Disciples Literal New Testament written by Michael Magill and published by Reyma Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If You Love God's Word You Will Love This New Testament! The Disciples' Literal New Testament sets you free from our artificial 460 year old chapter and verse structure, replacing it with paragraphing that reflects the flow of thought in the original Greek writings. Paragraph headings make that flow of thought explicit to you, speeding your understanding of the NT books. This translation retains the writing style of the apostles themselves, rather than transforming their Greek ways of writing into an elegant or contemporary English writing style, as has been beautifully done so many times. It is the same translation as the author's New Testament TransLine, first published by Zondervan in 2002. Now you can read the New Testament as the original writers intended it, and see it with a clarity formerly available only to those who could carefully study their Greek New Testament. You can even see the difference in writing style between Matthew, Mark and Luke! Used along with your standard Bible version, you will profit from both methods of translation. *Easily grasp the relationship of the whole and the parts of each book with the big-picture overview outlines that use the words of the original author. *Gain quick insight into the flow of thought from descriptive paragraph headings that summarize the main point of each paragraph in its context. *You can visually follow the apostles' thinking because the 'Intelligent Paragraphing' visually displays their main and subordinate thoughts. *The hindrance to your understanding caused by our artificial chapter and verse structure is eliminated by paragraphing based on the Greek writings. *You will more fully appreciate the minds and thinking patterns and intent of the original writers because the translation corresponds more closely to their words and their grammar and their sentence structure. *Deepen and expand your understanding of the New Testament by meditating on the notes containing alternative renderings, explanations of what is being said, and different views of the meaning.

Download or read book Fools Made Wise written by Leta Haggard and published by . This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No Drama. No Games. No Regrets. People show unbelief in God, His wisdom and His ways in their attitudes, actions, choices and relationships. Such expressions of foolishness often result in drama, games and regrets. Fools Made Wise through the Power and Wisdom of Christ is a Bible study that contrasts foolishness with God's wisdom. It examines the five expressions of foolishness described in the Wisdom Literature of the Bible. The study shows that foolishness may be expressed toward God through disrespect, mocking, lack of understanding, despising or not committing. Distinctions are made among the five expressions. Biblical examples are provided. The study makes the case that the Bible defines a fool in terms of her lack of relationship with God and her rejection of Him. Based on Proverbs 1:7 and Proverbs 9:10, fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom. "Fear of the LORD" is the Old Testament name for God's covenant relationship with His people; that is, His devotion to them and their devotion to Him. If devotion to the LORD does not exist, the person has no fear of the LORD, no wisdom, no knowledge of the Holy One and no understanding of God, His Word and His ways. A person is either devoted to the Lord or she despises wisdom and instruction, thus despising God. The biblical remedy for foolishness is the transformation of a "foolish one" through the all-sufficient work of Jesus Christ. He voluntarily left the highest position as Creator and King of all things, to take the lowest position of all-to become a man and a Servant. He lived a perfect life that no other could live. He died a shameful death in the place of "foolish" man to pay the penalty for their sin. Jesus Christ took the punishment for sin that all people deserve. When Jesus died on the cross, God poured out His entire wrath against sin upon Him. God proved that Jesus Christ paid the penalty for sin by raising Him from the dead. To those who believe in Jesus Christ alone, God gives the gift of living with Him eternally. Foolish people do not have to stay foolish! Fools are made wise and expressions of foolishness are overcome by Jesus Christ, Who is the power and wisdom of God. No more drama, games or regrets! Foolish drama is replaced by peace with God through Jesus Christ leading to full and meaningful life now and for eternity. Regrets and shame are overcome by the forgiveness of our sins by God through Jesus Christ. Games and schemes give way to trust in and obedience to Christ. Fools Made Wise through the Power and Wisdom of Christ is for those who are wise, that they may be wiser still (Proverbs 9:9). The study reminds a Christian how foolish she was before she received new life in Christ. It helps her to have compassion on the foolish and to realize that no one is beyond God's power to save. It is also for those who think they are Christians because they attend church, are church members, or are active in church, but have never been truly converted. I was one of those. I thought I was a Christian because I walked a church aisle, prayed to receive Christ and was baptized as a child. But my lifestyle denied that I knew Christ. When I was 32 years old, the pastor's sermon included this: "You may be a church member and still be unsaved." I was shaken. I went home and sought the Lord and confessed to Him that I needed Jesus Christ to save me from my sins. I remembered a Bible verse I had learned as a child: All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, everyone, to his own way. And the LORD has laid upon Him, [Jesus] the iniquity of us all (from Isaiah 53:6). The Lord lovingly drew me to Himself and has since patiently taught me about Himself, His wisdom and His ways through His Word, the Bible.
Download or read book Sin Eater written by Megan Campisi and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “For fans of The Handmaid’s Tale...a debut novel with a dark setting and an unforgettable heroine...is a riveting depiction of hard-won female empowerment” (The Washington Post). The Sin Eater walks among us, unseen, unheard Sins of our flesh become sins of Hers Following Her to the grave, unseen, unheard The Sin Eater Walks Among Us. For the crime of stealing bread, fourteen-year-old May receives a life sentence: she must become a Sin Eater—a shunned woman, brutally marked, whose fate is to hear the final confessions of the dying, eat ritual foods symbolizing their sins as a funeral rite, and thereby shoulder their transgressions to grant their souls access to heaven. Orphaned and friendless, apprenticed to an older Sin Eater who cannot speak to her, May must make her way in a dangerous and cruel world she barely understands. When a deer heart appears on the coffin of a royal governess who did not confess to the dreadful sin it represents, the older Sin Eater refuses to eat it. She is taken to prison, tortured, and killed. To avenge her death, May must find out who placed the deer heart on the coffin and why. “Very much reminiscent of The Handmaid’s Tale…it transcends its historical roots to give us a modern heroine” (Kirkus Reviews). “A novel as strange as it is captivating” (BuzzFeed), The Sin Eater “is a treat for fans of feminist speculative fiction” (Publishers Weekly) and “exactly what historical fiction lovers have unknowingly craved” (New York Journal of Books).

Download or read book Not Yet Married written by Marshall Segal and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More. Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.

Download or read book The School of Christ written by Theodore Austin-Sparks and published by Book Ministry. This book was released on 2011-09-18 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ministry contained in this little book has been wrought on the anvil of deep and drastic dealings of God with the vessel. It is not only doctrinal; it is experiential. Only those who really mean business with God will take the pains demanded to read it. For such, two words of advice may be helpful. Firstly, try to remember all through that the spoken form is retained. The messages were given in conference, and the reader must try to get into the spirit and mind of listening, and not only reading. In speaking, the messenger can see by the faces before him where repetition or reemphasis or fuller elucidation is called for. This explains much that would not be the character of a precisely literary production. It has its difficulties for readers, but it also has its values. Of all the books that have issued from this ministry, I regard this one as that which goes most deeply to the roots and foundations of our life in Christ with God. T.A-S.

Download or read book The Importance of Being Foolish written by Brennan Manning and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2005-06-28 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the eyes of the world, Jesus was a fool. He did not abide by the rules of his day; the people he associated with were shunned by society; his Sermon on the Mount reads likea primer on being left behind, stepped on, and ignored. In order for us to truly be the people Jesus wants us to be, we too must learn to become "foolish." Becoming a Christian is not a magical enterprise by which we are automatically transformed into better people. We must train to become who God intends us to be. In The Importance of Being Foolish, bestselling Christian author Brennan Manning teaches us how to think like Jesus. By reorienting our lives according to the gospel we may appear to be fools in the eyes of the world, but Manning reveals that this is exactly what Jesus wants. In a powerful exploration of the mind of Christ, Manning reveals how our obsession with security, pleasure, and power prevents us from living rich and meaningful lives. Our endless struggle to acquire money, good feelings, and prestige yields a rich harvest of worry, frustration, and resentment. Manning explores what Christ's mind was truly focused on: finding the Father, compassion for others, a heart of forgiveness, and the work of the kingdom. Coming from the gentle yet compelling voice of Brennan Manning, The Importance of Being Foolish is a refreshing reminder of the radical call of Jesus and the transforming love of God.
