Download or read book John Calvin Steward of God s Covenant written by John Calvin and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2006-02-14 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This selection of the writings of John Calvin (1509—1564) is the first for general readers to appear in many years. It showcases his powerful legacy, which has had far-reaching consequences for the development of religion and culture in Western Europe and in the shaping of American identity. Calvin was a prodigious preacher and writer, and his sermons, Bible commentaries, tracts, and letters fill dozens of volumes. The works chosen for John Calvin: Steward of God’s Covenant highlight ideas central to the Reformation but also to his influence on modern life, e.g., the importance of a work ethic and the notion of being “called” to action in the world; his belief in universal education for boys and girls; and his belief in the sanctity and freedom of individual conscience. Calvin’s theology of the “elect” of God motivated the English and Dutch Calvinists who settled the Atlantic seaboard, their Promised Land. The traditions of their communities and churches and laws produced the widespread present-day American belief in a divinely favored national destiny. In her brilliant preface to this edition, Pulitzer Prize—winning novelist Marilynne Robinson makes the clearest connection between John Calvin’s own biblical and patristic heritage and the heritage he in turn left the modern world.
Download or read book The Practice of Honor written by Danny Silk and published by Destiny Image Publishers. This book was released on 2012-06-28 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honor? In Today’s World? A one-of-a-kind book in both subject and perspective! The Practice of Honor is about reformation of honor—it is intended to disrupt your current model of authority! Jesus put it like this, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant” (Matthew 20:25-26). In some realms, honor is something defended to the death. However you have defined and cultivated honor up to now, The Practice of Honor may require a significant paradigm shift in your thinking. Based on the revival culture of the very spiritually successful Bethel Church in Redding, California, this book is also a template to help any leader develop an environment that brings out the very best in people. The Practice of Honor is a recipe for introducing the Spirit of God, and all of His freedom, and how to host and embrace that freedom as a community of believers. Those with power must learn how to empower those around them—or Heaven on the earth will never be realized as God intended.
Download or read book Continuity and Discontinuity Essays in Honor of S Lewis Johnson Jr written by John S. Feinberg and published by Crossway. This book was released on 1988-05-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evangelicals agree that the Bible is God's inerrant word. But we sometimes differ on how to relate the messages of the Old and New Testaments. Without a basic understanding of this crucial matter, it is difficult to know how to use the Testaments to formulate either doctrine or practice. For example: Was Israel the OT Church—are OT promises to God's national people fulfilled in the church today? Or, is Mosaic Law binding on believers now—are twentieth-century Christians to obey the Ten Commandments, including sabbath observance? In this book, thirteen noted evangelical theologians discuss, fairly but clearly, the continuity/discontinuity debate in regard to six basic categories: theological systems, hermeneutics, salvation, the Law of God, the people of God, and kingdom promises. Covering much more than the differences between Covenant Theology and Dispensationalism, this work of distinguished evangelical scholarship will fuel much profitable study and discussion.
Download or read book Earth honoring Faith written by Larry L. Rasmussen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grand Winner of the 2014 Nautilus Book Awards Thoughtful observers agree that the planetary crisis we now face-climate change; species extinction; the destruction of entire ecosystems; the urgent need for a more just economic-political order-is pushing human civilization to a radical turning point: change or perish. But precisely how to change remains an open question. In Earth-honoring Faith, Larry Rasmussen answers that question with a dramatically new way of thinking about human society, ethics, and the ongoing health of our planet. Rejecting the modern assumption that morality applies to human society alone, Rasmussen insists that we must derive a spiritual and ecological ethic that accounts for the well-being of all creation, as well as the primal elements upon which it depends: earth, air, fire, water, and sunlight. He argues that good science, necessary as it is, will not be enough to inspire fundamental change. We must draw on religious resources as well to make the difficult transition from an industrial-technological age obsessed with consumption to an ecological age that restores wise stewardship of all life. Earth-honoring Faith advocates an alliance of spirituality and ecology, in which the material requirements for planetary life are reconciled with deep traditions of spirituality across religions, traditions that include mysticism, sacramentalism, prophetic practices, asceticism, and the cultivation of wisdom. It is these shared spiritual practices that can produce a chorus of world faiths to counter the consumerism, utilitarianism, alienation, oppression, and folly that have pushed us to the brink. Written with passionate commitment and deep insight, Earth-honoring Faith reminds us that we must live in the present with the knowledge that the eyes of future generations will look back at us.

Download or read book The Nazarene written by Paul Sides and published by Rav Sha'ul. This book was released on 2017-02 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to my book, The Nazarene. May Yahuah give us all eyes to see the Truth, the ears to hear what the stars proclaim day after day, night after night, and the mind to overcome 2,000 years of the Lying Pen of the Scribes. Today we are faced with the traditions/doctrines passed down generation after generation that are “nothing but lies, false gods, and things of no profit”. In this book, I am going to overcome these lies. I am going to show the proper meaning and intent of Scripture by correcting the mistranslations and demonstrate the meaning in context. I will portray The Nazarene in proper context of The Heavenly Scroll, within the proper relationship to his Father, and lay out his life as a human being. I will show that Yahusha came to show us The Way whereby we all can achieve the Fullness of Deity in our bodies, Fulfill The Law, and defeat death. That “Way” is Mikveh, Circumcision, and Offering on Passover. While these Hebrew Roots teachers claim to have ‘come out of Babylon’ they remain knee deep in it. These “teachers” are self-appointed and remain Hellenized… They all have denied The Creator’s Witness of Yahusha written in the stars at creation called The Heavenly Scroll. Instead of teaching the Truth, that Yahusha was given Glory with Yahuah at Creation, written in The Heavenly Scroll, where The Branch is foretold as a “Lamb that would be slaughtered”; they teach us that Yahusha pre-existed and was co-creator. These men who claim to understand the Scriptures, have denied the very source of inspiration of all the Prophets, as they all to a man, were Witnessing the coming of the Branch, Orion, in The Heavenly Scroll. We have twisted the Scriptures to serve our own blasphemous purposes to tickle the ears of the people who want a demi-god in the image of all pagan religions. Much like when the Israelites rejected Yahuah as their King and demanded a human King like all the pagan nations. We have adopted “the way of the pagans” in the most fundamental pagan doctrine of all! Incarnation. Yahusha the Nazarene was rejected 2,000 years ago, betrayed by everyone he knew, beaten to the edge of death, and then nailed to a tree. He has suffered no less over the past 2,000 years, as we have falsely accused Yahusha the Nazarene of being “God in the flesh” and used his image to idolize a ‘man who died’ as God in our hearts! In Yahusha’s name we are taught to blaspheme our Creator, deny the Set Apart Ruach, and commit the unpardonable sin! We have created in our own minds, an image of a demi-god we say was ‘Yahuah in the flesh’ making Yahuah out to be a liar, forcing the Creator to be conformed to our own human image (instead being conformed to His Divine Image), and we deny The Creator’s (Yahuah’s) immortality teaching that He came to Earth as a man and died (that is a pagan myth originating in Babylon). Scripture openly declares that Yahusha is NOT ‘Yahuah, who came in the flesh’. I will explain exactly what “according to the flesh” means in this book and prove Yahuah would not, could not, ever “come in the flesh”. Instead of Yahusha, we are taught “Yahuah came in the flesh” which is The Spirit of the False Messiah. We have twisted the Scriptures to serve our own blasphemous purposes to tickle the ears of the people who want a demi-god in the image of all pagan religions. Much like when the Israelites rejected Yahuah as their King and demanded a human King like all the pagan nations. We have adopted “the way of the pagans” in the most fundamental pagan doctrine of all! Incarnation. Our translators cater to the whims of the people and continue to force feed humanity false translations knowingly! Scholars have proven these translations to be in error, proven the Name of Yahuah was removed, proven the name of the Messiah has been replaced by the name of the False Messiah. Textual Critics The Nazarene 3 have known for hundreds of years that the Greeks twisted the Scriptures and where they are in error. Scholars now openly admit that the Apostle Sha’ul’s writings were twisted even further by the “Reformers” into what we call The Pauline Doctrine. The Pauline Doctrine is a mistranslated, Greek appropriate, sound bite driven implied LIE! It is 100% contrary to what Sha’ul taught as a “Leader of the Nazarenes”. Yet today, these self-appointed teachers do not have the anointing to correct Sha’ul’s work even going so far as to commit false witness against Sha’ul, blaming him for what the ‘Greeks’ have done, as if Sha’ul is the author of The Pauline Doctrine. In doing so, they have taken one of the most inspired, anointed, and qualified teachers of the Nazarenes from us! I will show us what it means to be Nazarene, what they believed and what Yahchanan, Yahusha, Yaakov and Sha’ul taught that continued to be believed for 500 years before the Nazarenes were driven underground by Christians and Hellenized Jews. I will prove that not one of them accepted The Virgin Birth, they rejected Incarnation, they taught Yahusha was Adopted upon his Mikveh (just like we are), they kept the ‘intent’ of The Law, not the letter, they followed the ancient Enochian Path; and they knew that Yahusha Fulfilled The Law through Mikveh (he was NOT a “Living Torah”). Yahusha was the Fulfillment of the Debar (Predestined ‘Plan’ written in The Heavenly Scroll) not the Logos (Word made flesh). These issues are at the very foundation of The Yahushaic Covenant. The teachers in the Hebrew Roots movement show a total disconnect from who The Nazarenes were, what they taught, and what the Nazarene’s believed! Overall these teachers today in the Hebrew Roots and Messianic Movements show very little Spiritual anointing to even teach. Yet, they “appear” as worthy teachers to the masses, unless you truly understand what they teach.

Download or read book Arguments for a Better World Essays in Honor of Amartya Sen written by Kaushik Basu and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2009 with total page 617 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amartya Sen has made deep and lasting contributions to the academic disciplines of economics, philosophy, and the social sciences more broadly. He has engaged in policy dialogue and public debate, advancing the cause of a human development focused policy agenda, and a tolerant and democratic polity. This argumentative Indian has made the case for the poorest of the poor, and for plurality in cultural perspective. It is not surprising that he has won the highest awards, ranging from the Nobel Prize in Economics to the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honor. This public recognition has gone hand in hand with the affection and admiration that Amartya's friends and students hold for him. This volume of essays, written in honor of his 75th birthday by his students and peers, covers the range of contributions that Sen has made to knowledge. They are written by some of the world's leading economists, philosophers and social scientists, and address topics such as ethics, welfare economics, poverty, gender, human development, society and politics. This first volume covers the topics of Ethics, Normative Economics and Welfare; Agency, Aggregation and Social Choice; Poverty, Capabilities and Measurement; and Identity, Collective Action and Public Economics. It is a fitting tribute to Sen's own contributions to the discourse on Ethics, Welfare and Measurement. Contributors include: Sabina Alkire, Paul Anand, Sudhir Anand, Kwame Anthony Appiah, A. B.

Download or read book Covenant Community and the Spirit written by Robert Sherman and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2015-10-13 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive textbook by a well-respected Reformed theologian brings together two perennial issues in Christian theology: the doctrine of the Holy Spirit and ecclesiology. It demonstrates the importance of the Holy Spirit in empowering the being and mission of the church and shows how the church's identity and calling are embedded in the larger covenantal purposes of the triune God. Accessibly written with pastors in training in mind, the book probes the classic rubrics of the church as the people of God, the body of Christ, and the temple of the Holy Spirit, igniting readers' ecclesiological imaginations and reclaiming a more biblical, theological, and pastoral vision of church.

Download or read book The Significance of the Seven Burning Candles written by Zur Rachel and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2005-01-17 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first sentence of the Bible is a key to the five books of the Torah. Specifically, the essence of the Magen David (star of David), the Menorah, and the Ark of the Covenant are encoded in this sentence. Furthermore, measurements of the Tabernacle, which housed the Torah, hint at a master DNA-like code, that underlies the structure of the Torah. Using the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics, it can be inferred that each letter in the Torah represents a basic information unit. The words that these letters form disclose unique patterns that reflect a supernatural authorship and immutable, divine truths.
