Download or read book Telling the Truth written by D. A. Carson and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A pre-modern baseball umpire would have said something like this: 'There's balls, and there's strikes, and I call 'em as they are.' The modernist would have said, 'There's balls, and there's strikes, and I call 'em as I see 'em.' And the postmodernist umpire would say, 'They ain't nothing until I call 'em.'" With that humorous quote, Ravi Zacharias illustrates the challenge postmodernism poses to Christians passionate about evangelism. How do you communicate truth to a world that isn't sure what truth is--or even if truth is? How do you commend spiritual absolutes to people who insist there are none? If you've puzzled, even struggled, over such questions, the book you hold in your hands is required reading, Telling the Truth provides informed insights on the heart of the Gospel, the soul of postmodern culture, and their complex interface. This book is a compilation of thoughts and strategies from twenty-nine prominent practitioners of contemporary evangelism. Originating at a three-day conference held at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Telling the Truth draws on knowledge gained in the trenches by Ravi Zacharias, Kelly Monroe, D.A. Carson, Ajith Fernando, and other notables. It will open your eyes to how the contest for souls is fought, guerilla-style, at a multitude of fronts: relationships, the university, ethnicity, reason and emotion, the pulpit, communications . . . in short, the broad spectrum of human experience and values. You'll be challenged to discern between the unchanging Gospel and the flexible means by which we communicate it. Telling the Truth can help you lay the groundwork necessary to point biblically uninformed, postmodern men and women toward an encounter with non-negotiable truth -- an absolute revealed in the Bible that points to the reality of sin and the need for a Savior.
Download or read book Worship by the Book written by Rev. Mark Ashton and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “What is at stake is authenticity. . . . Sooner or later Christians tire of public meetings that are profoundly inauthentic, regardless of how well (or poorly) arranged, directed, performed. We long to meet, corporately, with the living and majestic God and to offer him the praise that is his due.”—D. A. CarsonWorship is a hot topic, but the ways that Christians from different traditions view it vary greatly. What is worship? More important, what does it look like in action, both in our corporate gatherings and in our daily lives? These concerns—the blending of principle and practice—are what Worship by the Book addresses.Cutting through cultural clichés, D. A. Carson, Mark Ashton, Kent Hughes, and Timothy Keller explore, respectively:· Worship Under the Word· Following in Cranmer’s Footsteps· Free Church Worship: The Challenge of Freedom· Reformed Worship in the Global City “This is not a comprehensive theology of worship,” writes Carson. “Still less is it a sociological analysis of current trends or a minister’s manual chockfull of ‘how to’ instructions.” Rather, this book offers pastors, other congregational leaders, and seminary students a thought-provoking biblical theology of worship, followed by a look at how three very different traditions of churchmanship might move from this theological base to a better understanding of corporate worship. Running the gamut from biblical theology to historical assessment all the way to sample service sheets, Worship by the Book shows how local churches in diverse traditions can foster corporate worship that is God-honoring, Word-revering, heartfelt, and historically and culturally informed.

Download or read book The So called Mixed Text written by Clinton S. Baldwin and published by Studies in Biblical Literature. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, a number of scholars have identified a text-type in six of the books of the Catholic Epistles that they have called «mixed.» The So-Called Mixed Text: An Examination of the Non-Alexandrian and Non-Byzantine Text-Type in the Catholic Epistles is concerned with a comprehensive identification and evaluation of this so-called mixed text-type. This mixed category, if supported by empirical investigation to be more original than the Alexandrian and Byzantine texts, could necessitate the re-evaluation of these established text-types and also the re-evaluation of the designation «mixed» attributed to this group. In pursuit of this objective, Clinton S. Baldwin undertakes an in-depth study of this mixed phenomenon by studying 407 Greek manuscripts of the Catholic Epistles. Having identified 13 mixed groups across the Catholic Epistles, it is shown that the weighted value of this mixed category is negligible in terms of uncovering the earliest originals. Also of significance to this study is the use of factor analysis for the classification of New Testament Greek manuscripts. The reliability of factor analysis is demonstrated by another vital contribution of this study: the classification of the manuscripts of the Epistle of Jude, a book which hither-to-fore had not been comprehensively classified. Most of the manuscripts classified by factor analysis have later been confirmed by a modified form of the Claremont Profile Method. Finally, The So-Called Mixed Text demonstrates that the evolution of the New Testament text, which began in the earlier centuries, continued into the Middle Ages.

Download or read book The Conscious Universe written by Dean Radin and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2010-10-26 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scientific evidence for telepathy, clairvoyance, prayer, jinxes, and other phenomena, from the author of Entangled Minds. This rigorously reasoned manifesto by an eminent parapsychologist provides astonishing answers to universal questions by unveiling persuasive empirical evidence for the existence of psychic phenomena. Dean Radin shatters myths that surround parapsychology, revealing the extent to which corporations, governments, and academia have embraced it, and exploring what the effects will be when—inevitably—mainstream science and society embrace it as well. Praise for The Conscious Universe “Radin is a mix of curiosity, scholarship, technical expertise, and sly wit.” —New York Times Magazine “Radin makes the most powerful case for the reality of parapsychological phenomena that I have yet encountered. . . . He writes clearly, powerfully, and persuasively, and this book shows that we are at a turning point in our scientific understanding of our minds and of nature.” —Rupert Sheldrake, PhD, author of The Sense of Being Stared At “Cutting perceptively through the spurious arguments frequently made by skeptics, [Radin] shows the evidence in favor of [paranormal] existence is overwhelming.” —Brian Johnson, PhD, Nobel laureate in physics

Job 12:7 Si no, pregunta a las bestias y te ensenaran; a las aves del cielo. y te informaran Salmo 19:1 Los cielos narran la gloria de Dios y el firmamento declara la obra de sus manos, Salmo 19;2 Dia a Dia hablan, y noche a noche declaran inteligencia Salmo 19;3 No hay discurso, tampoco palabras, para que no escuche su voz; Salmo 19; 4 Por toda la tierra salieron las buenas nuevas de ellos, y hasta los confines del mundo sus palabras, entre ellos le ha puesto su morada al sol. Romanos 1;21 Porque supieron de Dios, pero no lo glorificaron como a Dios ni le dieron gracias, sino que se envanecieron en sus razonamientos, siendo entenebrecido su insensato corazón para que no entendieran, Romanos 1;22 Porque profesando ser sabios, se volvieron insensatos, Jeremías 10:14 Todo hombre entendido es insensato; todos los orfebres se avergonzarán por las imágenes talladas que recubrieron, porque fundieron mentira, pues no tienen Espíritu 1 Corintios 1:20 Donde está el sabio? ¿a dónde el escriba? a donde está el polemista de este mundo? ¿He aquí, no ha hecho Dios insensata la sabiduría de este mundo?

Hechos 17:29 Ahora pues vamos, por cuanto nuestro origen es de Dios, no debemos pensar que la Deidad se asemeja al oro a la plata o a la piedra esculpida por la habilidad o el conocimiento humano. Romanos 1;24 Por esta razón Dios los entrego a la lujuria corrompida de su corazón, para que deshonraran entre si sus propios cuerpos. 2 Corintios 4;4 Aquellos a quienes Dios a cegado sus mentes en este mundo para que no crean para que no les resplandezca la luz del evangelio de la gloria del Cristo, que es la imagen del Dios. Romanos 1;25 Ellos cambiaron la verdad de Dios por el engaño, rindiendo culto y sirviendo a las criaturas en lugar de a su Creador, para quien son nuestras alabanzas y nuestras bendiciones eternamente y para siempre. Amen.
