Book excerpt: After retirement and a move to Virginia, I found more time to do what I loved. I began to write poems from little notes and ideas I had written down through the years. I was inspired by God's Word, sermons, songs, and devotions. A friend, Emily Wood, encouraged me to put them into a booklet, which I did. Thus began Inspirational Poems. Now, at age ninety, I decided to have them published. I pray that these poems may be a blessing, an encouragement, and an inspiration to those who read them.

Download or read book The Poetry of Sermons written by Robert Granger and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-01-09 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of this book is predicated on the probability that within each of us, perhaps hiding in secret, dwells a skeptic, a cynic, and a seeker. The skeptic within thinks it knows some truth but isn't quite sure which is real truth and which may not be quite so true. The cynic within is confused by the distance between the beliefs that some profess and the behaviors and attitudes exhibited in their daily life. And the seeker within likes to feel encouraged to ask questions and to explore the mysteries that the unfolding wonder of life continually sets before us. Bringing all of these to the reading of the sermons will enrich the experience, sometimes stimulating deeper questions and sometimes offering inspiring insights.

Download or read book The Poetry of Faith written by Stephen F. Dill and published by NewSouth Books. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ministry of the Rev. Stephen F. Dill was forged in the turbulent civil rights years when he stood for social justice and spoke against racial segregation. In this collection of sermons -- many from his 20 years as pastor of Dauphin Way United Methodist Church in Mobile, Alabama -- Dill reflects on the implications of his faith for the lives of individuals and for the life of the world. Robin Wilson, one of Dill's successors at Dauphin Way, praises "the bold humility" of his message, and author Frye Gaillard, in the book's introduction, offers this description of Dill and his sermons: "Almost inevitably, the poetry of his preaching caught the quick of my imagination and quietly, inevitably made me think." Appropriately, the publication of The Poetry of Faith coincides with the 100th anniversary of Dauphin Way. But these challenging and reassuring sermons resonate far beyond those walls. As Methodist educator Gorman Houston put it, this is the Christian faith at its finest, for Stephen Dill has always been "one of those ministers . . . able to see the church as it should be and not as it was."

Download or read book Life Changing Thoughts written by Gary W. Smith and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-07 with total page 690 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LIFE CHANGING THOUGHTS is a book difficult to put down. One moment you will find yourself laughing; the next moment, you find yourself in deep meditation. The book contains thousands of inspiring, life changing, worshipful and humorous thoughts. There are nearly 700 pages with almost 500 different topics categorized alphabetically. Some of the book's topics are God and the Bible, character, faith, fullness, the family and home, leadership, patriotic thoughts, prayer and victorious living. The book even contains great seasonal thoughts for thanksgiving, Christmas and the Resurrection. As a young man, the author began collecting life-changing thoughts for his own personal use. It was not long until he was using the thoughts and poems within his own writings and sermons. Over a thirty-five year period, the collection of inspiring thoughts grew from only a few to number into the thousands. As the collection grew so did the author's ability to compose and write his own thoughts and poems. Many of these are included within this book. The book is a great resource for pastors, teachers, speechmakers, communicators and leaders. You will find the life-changing thoughts beneficial for your own edification and enjoyment. In addition, the book provides you with a wealth of inspiring and motivating thoughts to share with other people. The author hopes you are blessed by reading and sharing these thoughts, as he has been from compiling and writing them. "A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good it is!" (KJV, Proverbs 15:23)

Download or read book Hold on written by Lauretha Brown Ward and published by . This book was released on 2001-02 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God used poetry in biblical days to communicate his everlasting words to mortal men. He saw to it that complete books of poetry like Psalms, Job and the like were included in the Bible to get his message across to us. But He did not stop there. God-inspired poetry is found in prophetic books as well as in historical books of the Bible. In the New Testament, we find Jesus making poetic utterances. The Gospels, the Pauline Epistles, and the epistle of James are all filled with rich poetic utterances. We conclude that Spirituality and poetry are kin. Why else would the holy scriptures tell us that we can continually be filled with the Spirit by speaking to ourselves in Psalms (poetry), hymns, and spiritual songs (Ephesians 5:19)? As I would be teaching the Word of God during the Sunday Worship Service, the spirit of God would inspire Lauretha Ward to write the sermons in poetry. She would sit and absorb the words from the sermon and compose the poetry in its entirety during the service. A little before the conclusion of the service, Lauretha would stand before the audience and read the sermon in poetry. Oh how we would be blessed to hear the Manna of the Lord in Poetry! These poetic sermons are about everyday living. God's Word is for our everyday life. These sermons will help you with your life's struggles, increase your faith in God, and cause you to walk in victory everyday the way Jesus intended. In this book the sermons are arranged in four major themes which are "In The Storm," "Walk By Faith," "Attack Your Enemy," and "Victory in Life." Use the scripture text of the sermons for your meditation. Open your heart and let God speak to you out of his rich Word. Willie J. Powell, Pastor, Grace Fellowship Church Two of the poems from this book were released as songs on a cassette entitled "Glory" in March 2000 by Hilltop Records in California. The songs are "Generation Now" and "What to Do." (The song title is What to Do When You Are In the Heat of the Battle.)
Download or read book Whatever Happened to Delight written by J. Barrie Shepherd and published by Presbyterian Publishing Corp. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preaching is an art, J. Barrie Shepherd argues, and the sermon is an art form, an exercise in creativity and imagination. But all too often preaching suffers from a lack of imagination and a loss of the joy and wonder that attracted the crowds to Jesus' words two thousand years ago. In this book, based on his 2003 Beecher Lectures at Yale Divinity School, Shepherd hopes to encourage the preacher toward a more creative vision for the sermon. His approach is spontaneous, eclectic, intuitive, and daring. Shepherd's purpose is to encourage the preacher to think of life as filled with God's presence, to search for the presence, and to use images and words to unveil that presence. The end result is a sermon that is full of astonishment and delight.
