Download or read book Lessons of Nature from a Modern Day Shepherd written by Don F. Pickett and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-12-07 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in an environment that is comprised of both natural and artificial objects. The former is comprised of Gods creations, which manifest themselves in all their varieties in a state of perfection, order, and beauty, while the latter consists of creations of man, which exhibit the frailties and imperfections common to humankind. No occupation brings a person closer to nature than that of a shepherd. It was these humble, earthbound workers who, according to the Gospel of St. Luke, heard good tidings of great joy and saw this thing which is come to pass when called upon to witness the birth of our Creator. Shepherds live amid nature, entirely removed from the artificial world that unfortunately tends to occupy our attention. Shepherds place themselves in a position to clearly see what we might call the first law of nature, which is obedience, followed by a second law, which is that everything in nature has a purpose, including our own mortal existence. This simple book sets forth some of the great lessons of nature with each lesson beginning with a poem, symbolic of the harmony and rhythm of nature itself, as witnessed by a modern-day herdsman.

Download or read book Visual Theology written by Tim Challies and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a visual culture. Today, people increasingly rely upon visuals to help them understand new and difficult concepts. The rise and stunning popularity of the Internet infographic has given us a new way in which to convey data, concepts and ideas. But the visual portrayal of truth is not a novel idea. Indeed, God himself used visuals to teach truth to his people. The tabernacle of the Old Testament was a visual representation of man's distance from God and God's condescension to his people. Each part of the tabernacle was meant to display something of man's treason against God and God's kind response. Likewise, the sacraments of the New Testament are visual representations of man's sin and God's response. Even the cross was both reality and a visual demonstration. As teachers and lovers of sound theology, Challies and Byers have a deep desire to convey the concepts and principles of systematic theology in a fresh, beautiful and informative way. In this book, they have made the deepest truths of the Bible accessible in a way that can be seen and understood by a visual generation.

Download or read book Holy Spirit Shepherd Dog written by Burton Laine and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I had never heard of a Maremma. The only thing I knew was that we were starting a flock of sheep, and we needed help on the farm. God knew what He was doing. He placed the perfect partner in shepherding in our barn and it has lasted over 30 years. This is the story of Arya, and how she has helped me learn about the Holy Spirit while we shepherd this flock of Border Cheviot sheep. Arya brings a simple joy and gentleness to life, and she brings a smile to my face every day. We've shared every emotion together and stood together through difficult times. Arya has an innate wisdom about how to do her job on the farm. She has never been trained-she just knows what to do. She lives in the present and doesn't worry about yesterday or tomorrow. She has natural instincts that keep the sheep calm and content in their surroundings. She leads them home from the pasture at night. She stands guard all day to guard from timber wolves and coyotes. When we have a sick sheep Arya keeps track of her in the barn. She is dedicated to her job with the sheep and stays with them through any weather conditions; 90 degrees Fahrenheit to 20 degrees below zero. She always stands up to the storms. She's a comforter. When a ewe loses a lamb, Arya stays nearby and makes sure the sheep stay together for comfort. And she's comforted me when a family member has died. God loves shepherds. From King David to the birth of Jesus, shepherds hold a special place in the Bible. Jesus Himself is the Good Shepherd. Every day when I look at Arya I'm reminded of the nature of God, and how the Holy Spirit works in my life. That's why I call Arya the Holy Spirit Shepherd Dog. Come along on a trip to our small farm, spend some time in the country and read my stories about Arya and our partnership as shepherds. I'll guarantee you'll never look at a farm working dog the same way again. And along the way, maybe she'll teach you a couple new things about the Holy Spirit.
