Book excerpt: Doubt is a habit. You aren't born a doubter. You learn to doubt over time, after being hit with the injustices and instability of this world. In this book, I'm going to try to help you go back in time?and regain what you lost. The wonder of faith is a pure thing-a childlike thing-and it's the only thing that works to access God and draw in what you really want. He doesn't respond to need. He doesn't respond to begging or pleading or wishing. God responds to faith. Doubt has roots. From the beginning of my walk with God in 1974, I decided that if I was going to be a "believer," then I was going to believe. I had a lifetime of doubting people behind me-but I learned in the Bible that God is not a man that He should lie. I also learned that the roots of doubt must be pulled up in order to make way to receive from God. I began a new way of thinking all those years ago that I am still using today. It's brought me joy. It's brought me success over the many challenges I've had. And it's brought me great favor and full peace in a world filled with trouble. Doubt isn't what you think. It's not a passing thought. It's not pondering the Word of God or reasoning with God, or even with others. Doubt is an inner-lifestyle choice-a bad habit of taking your own word over God's, your thoughts over God's, and putting more stock in the words of others over God's, too. That's not what living a successful life as a believer is all about! In this book, I hope to help you shut doubt down and develop a mindset that sees God's truth as bigger than the doubts of the mind?or anything else. Develop a habit of never learning to doubt!

Book excerpt: What do you really want? What do you really desire?What has God put on your heart?and is it really His will for YOU? Dr. Jesse Duplantis takes a status-quo-breaking look at Jesus Christ's teaching about "asking anything" in prayer in his latest book, "Your Everything Is His Anything." You'll learn what Jesus really said about "asking" as Jesse challenges you to look to God's Word, dive into your own heart, and cast off whatever is holding you back from believing Christ's words. "Your Everything Is His Anything" is filled with questions you can ask yourself and wisdom from God's Word to help you better understand your core beliefs surrounding wants, needs, and desires in the believer's life. You'll be inspired to let go of old ways of thinking, adopt Christ's timeless truth into your own life, and begin using the power of His name in a greater way as you start setting divine principles for success into motion in your own life. Jesse will challenge you to reevaluate how you see yourself and your desires in the light of God's love for you. Are you uncertain about what God thinks about your desires? Are you concerned about your own motivations? Are you curious about how societal, religious, or family expectations will fit into your dreams? If so, Jesse will help you to pinpoint your true concerns and correctly identify your mental stumbling blocks so that you can let go of whatever may be keeping you from your dreams, visions, and heart's desires. Chapter after chapter, you'll explore what it takes to accept Christ at His Word and learn principles you can apply to receive exactly what is on your heart. Can you really have everything that God has put on your heart? Can you "ask anything" in Jesus' name? Jesus says you can. If you have a vision you want to see come to pass, a dream you've always wanted to fulfill, or some "thing" in life that your heart truly desires, this book will inspire you to believe in yourself and have greater faith in God.

Download or read book The Rise of the Nones written by James Emery White and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The single fastest growing religious group of our time is those who check the box next to the word none on national surveys. In America, this is 20 percent of the population. Exactly who are the unaffiliated? What caused this seismic shift in our culture? Are our churches poised to reach these people? James Emery White lends his prophetic voice to one of the most important conversations the church needs to be having today. He calls churches to examine their current methods of evangelism, which often result only in transfer growth--Christians moving from one church to another--rather than in reaching the "nones." The pastor of a megachurch that is currently experiencing 70 percent of its growth from the unchurched, White knows how to reach this growing demographic, and here he shares his ministry strategies with concerned pastors and church leaders.

Download or read book Searching for Enough written by Tyler Staton and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique and validating look at the tension you feel between disillusionment and a desire for truth, Searching for Enough helps you see your doubt not as an emotion to fear but as an invitation to be followed. Do you ever find yourself thinking, "I'm not enough, and I'm never going to be. And I know I'm not supposed to say this, but God's not enough for me either." Whether or not we attend church, deep down we wonder if the biblical story of faith is really enough for the complexity of the world in which we live. We fill our lives with other things, hoping that maybe the next experience or accomplishment will complete us. Yet with every goal we reach, we still feel discouraged and anxious. In Searching for Enough, Pastor Tyler Staton draws on ancient and modern insights to introduce us, as if for the first time, to Jesus' disciple Thomas: history's most notorious skeptic. Like Thomas, we are caught between two unsatisfying stories: We want to believe in God but can't reconcile his presence with our circumstances and internal struggles. But what if there's a better story than shame? What if there's redemption so complete that there's nothing left to hide? What if there is a God who can heal your resentments, fears, and loneliness in such a profound way that you feel whole? From a place of spiritual companionship and deep authenticity, Tyler shows us that it is not an empty tomb that will change our lives, but the presence of the living God. Whether you are a distant skeptic, an involved doubter, or a busy but bored Christian, Searching for Enough invites you to find enough in a God who offers the only promises that never disappoint.

Download or read book After Doubt written by A. J. Swoboda and published by Brazos Press. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there a way to walk faithfully through doubt and come out the other side with a deeper love for Jesus, the church, and its tradition? Can we question our faith without losing it? Award-winning author, pastor, and professor A. J. Swoboda has witnessed many young people wrestle with their core Christian beliefs. Too often, what begins as a set of critical and important questions turns to resentment and faith abandonment. Unfortunately, the church has largely ignored its task of serving people along their journey of questioning. The local church must walk alongside those who are deconstructing their faith and show them how to reconstruct it. Drawing on his own experience of deconstruction, Swoboda offers tools to help emerging adults navigate their faith in a hostile landscape. Doubt is a part of our natural spiritual journey, says Swoboda, and deconstruction is a legitimate space to encounter the living God. After Doubt offers a hopeful, practical vision of spiritual formation for those in the process of faith deconstruction and those who serve them. Foreword by pastor and author John Mark Comer.

Download or read book Things I Never Learned in Sunday School written by and published by Writing --- Etc.. This book was released on 2013-01-24 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many believers, the preferred approach to Christianity is passive; that is, they would prefer to let church leaders give them answers about their faith rather than engaging in an active pursuit on their own. As a result, traditional doctrines and beliefs are generally accepted without question. This was the path the author followed for over fifteen years. Surprisingly, it wasn't until she left Christianity that she began an in-depth study of the Christian faith. "Things I Never Learned in Sunday School" is the result of her efforts. With nearly 200 reference notes and numerous scripture quotations, she examines the infallibility of the bible, the resurrection, the existence of Satan, the fate of the unsaved, the Antichrist, the end times, even the identity of God. She also provides extensive insight into why Paul played such an important role in establishing Christianity. The final conclusion? Many doctrines taught in Sunday School and church often have little basis in fact - and several are not addressed at all. Some readers may find the contents of this book unsettling. On the other hand, when read with an open and inquiring mind, it could very well result in a spiritual awakening.

Download or read book Notes from No Man s Land written by Eula Biss and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism Winner of the Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize A frank and fascinating exploration of race and racial identity Notes from No Man's Land: American Essays begins with a series of lynchings and ends with a series of apologies. Eula Biss explores race in America and her response to the topic is informed by the experiences chronicled in these essays -- teaching in a Harlem school on the morning of 9/11, reporting for an African American newspaper in San Diego, watching the aftermath of Katrina from a college town in Iowa, and settling in Chicago's most diverse neighborhood. As Biss moves across the country from New York to California to the Midwest, her essays move across time from biblical Babylon to the freedman's schools of Reconstruction to a Jim Crow mining town to post-war white flight. She brings an eclectic education to the page, drawing variously on the Eagles, Laura Ingalls Wilder, James Baldwin, Alexander Graham Bell, Joan Didion, religious pamphlets, and reality television shows. These spare, sometimes lyric essays explore the legacy of race in America, artfully revealing in intimate detail how families, schools, and neighborhoods participate in preserving racial privilege. Faced with a disturbing past and an unsettling present, Biss still remains hopeful about the possibilities of American diversity, "not the sun-shininess of it, or the quota-making politics of it, but the real complexity of it."

Download or read book Wittgenstein s Intentions Routledge Revivals written by Stuart Shanker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wittgenstein’s Intentions, first published in 1993, presents a series of essays dedicated to the great Wittgenstein exegete John Hunter. The problematic topics discussed are identified not only by Wittgenstein’s own philosophical writings, but also by contemporary scholarship: areas of ambiguity, perhaps even confusion, as well as issues which the father of analytic philosophy did not himself address. The difficulties involved in speaking cogently about religious belief, suspicion, consciousness, the nature of the will, the coincidence of our thoughts with reality, and transfinite numbers are all investigated, as well as a variety of other intriguing questions: why can’t a baby pretend to smile? How do I know what I was going to say? Wittgenstein’s Intentions is an invaluable resource for students of Wittgenstein as well as scholars, and opens up a wide horizon of philosophical questioning for those as yet unfamiliar with this style of reasoning.
