Download or read book Liberated written by Hugh Barber and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-09-19 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In [this] freedom Christ has made us free [and completely liberated us]; stand fast then, and do not be hampered and held ensnared and submit again to a yoke of slavery [which you have once put off]. Is who you are today based on what you do, or is it defined by who you are? A distorted identity and life of bondage are not a coincidence. A poor understanding of our identity is the primary cause of bondage amongst Christians today. For your identity directly determines your every decision and how you choose to live your life. A person who is liberated has the right or power to do as one pleases, or freedom without restraint or bondage. Galatians 5:1 declares this reality It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. However, too many sincere believers today are living in some type of bondage when they already have the power to be set free. Therefore understanding who we are and unlocking the power within us as children of God is the key to liberated life. A desire to be all that God created us to be should be our highest pursuit in life. When we understand who we are and our purpose in Christ, we will be able to take hold of all the amazing plans He has in store for us. In this book you will understand the reality of your true identity as a Christian, the purpose of being broken and restored, as well as the importance our thoughts captive. You will discover practical steps to walking in freedom and the significance of becoming all you were created to be. Founded in biblical principles and inspiring stories, this book will help you realize your true identity that can empower you to having long lasting freedom in every area of your life. What other people daily struggle with does not have to be your story too. That there is absolutely nothing which is too powerful or difficult for God to set you free today. No matter your past mistakes or current circumstances, join me as we realize the divine freedom that is ours in Christ.

Download or read book Liberating Ministry from the Success Syndrome written by R. Kent Hughes and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2008-01-07 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year thousands of God's servants leave the ministry convinced they are failures. Years ago, in the midst of a crisis of faith, Kent Hughes almost became one of them. But instead he and his wife Barbara turned to God's Word, determined to learn what God had to say about success and to evaluate their ministry from a biblical point of view. This book describes their journey and their liberation from the "success syndrome"-the misguided belief that success in ministry means increased numbers. In today's world it is easy to be seduced by the secular thinking that places a number on everything. But the authors teach that true success in ministry lies not in numbers but in several key areas: faithfulness, serving, loving, believing, prayer, holiness, and a Christlike attitude. Their thoughts will encourage readers who grapple with feelings of failure and lead them to a deeper, fuller understanding of success in Christian ministry. This book was originally published by Tyndale in 1987 and includes a new preface.

Download or read book Soul Set Free written by John Lindell and published by Charisma Media. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just because you know and have experienced grace does not mean you fully understand it. This book will help you experience the freedom found in knowing just how fully God is committed to loving YOU. FOREWORD BY LOUIE GIGLIO Rediscover the missing piece in what today’s Christians believe about the Christian life. As lead Pastor of one of America’s biggest churches, John Lindell went on a personal quest for answers and discovered the true meaning behind God’s grace, and when he came to see the full revelation of God’s commitment to us, it changed his life forever. In Soul Set Free, Lindell invites you on a life-changing journey through the Book of Romans. Learn to no longer view the gospel as anything less than a truth that sets your soul free. The good news of the gospel can be summed up in three parts: Christ died for our sins, we are forgiven through faith in Christ, and heaven is our reward upon death. However, none of these parts cover what transpired when we were saved. The gospel is even better than what we believe. It brings joy but it’s even better. It’s forgiveness of sins but it’s even better. It’s God sending His only Son but it’s even better.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important study Hays argues against the mainstream that any attempt to account for the nature and method of Paul's theological language must first reckon with the centrality of narrative elements in his thought. Through an in-depth investigation of Galatians 3:1-4:11, Hays shows that the framework of Paul's thought is neither a system of doctrines nor his personal religious experience but the "sacred story" of Jesus Christ.

Download or read book Stand Fast in Your Christian Liberty written by Barry S. Ross and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-01-15 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian liberty is one of the most debatable doctrines within the Christian faith. It is because of this doctrine that there are many divisions within the Church in our modern time. Most sincere Christians are tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine thus running from Church to Church. Most that profess the name of Christ do so without bibilical knowledge of bibilical doctrines of the Christian faith because they do not take the time to study their own bibles. God have said that his people perish for the lack of knowledge. There are lots of judgmental spirits within every Church which is forbidden of God in the Scriptures. These spirits cause divisions within the body of Christ. Most are not like the Christians in Berea, that searched the Scriptures being more noble than the Christians in Thessalonica in that those of Berea received the word of God with all readiness of mind, searching the Scriptures daily to see for themselves whether the teachings of the apostles were in fact the things written in the Scriptures. Most today fail terribly in this area, thus taking the word of those that claim to be delivering God's word to them and thereby many are deceived. These do not know where they stand in Christ Jesus! Christians are no longer under the law but under grace! Jesus Christ have redeemed us from the curse of the law becoming a curse for us that we might become the righteousness of God through him. There is now no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. For under the new dispesation of the gospel we are under grace. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus have set us free or have liberated us from the law of sin and death! Therefore we have liberty in Christ Jesus! Paul asked the question, Why should my liberty by judged by another man's conscience? We are liberated by Christ Jesus but we are not to use liberty for an occasion to the flesh or to sin nor are we to allow our individual liberty to become a stumbling block to cause others to fall into sin but we are to serve one another in love! Paul said that all things are lawful for me but all things are not expedient all things are lawful for me but all things edify not. Paul said that he kept under his body and bring it into subjection. He said all things are lawful for him but he would not be brought under the power of any! The apostles warned of those who have crept into the Church unaware that would attempt to chain us again to the law of bondage from which Jesus have broken the link in the chain setting us free. Under the new dispensation Christians are free to do or eat what one please so long as it is done or consumed in faith for anything done or consumed which is not in faith is sin! If the thing allowed is not against God or the law of the land Christians have the liberty to do it as long as their liberty does not cause another Christian to stumble. Scripture says, Happy is the he that condemeth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. Don't allow another man's convictions intrude on your individual liberty! God is not going to judge you by another man's conscience but your own, in the things which you allow! On the other hand, the apostle says it is wriong to allow your liberty, to cause another to stumble. He said the right thing to do in this matter is to keep from eating meat drinking wine or doing anything else that will make another believer fall. Keep what you believe then, between yourself and God and leave judgment to the Judge, of whom we all must stand before, and give an account of ourselves! Scripture instruct Christians to Let no man therefore judge you in meat or drink or in respect to any holy day or the new moon or the sabbath days which are a shadow of things to come but the body is of Christ! Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made you free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. This book is a must read to every sincere believer!
Download or read book Love Liberates written by Anthon D. Houtsma and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-02-16 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthon Houtsma graduated from Calvin College in 1967 and from Calvin Seminary in 1970 with the intention of becoming a pastor in the Christian Reformed Church. Unforeseen circumstances forced his life in a very different direction, however, to a career in the US Postal Service. Anthon is a Calvinist with an existential point of view. He desperately wants you to know that God loves every person in this world. The question is: How can the love of God offered in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ save us; how can that love of God redeem the soul of any man, woman, or child, giving them a desire to serve God with their hearts and minds and strength? It is only by the grace of God and through the existential exercise of our faith that we can be saved. “God is Love” (1 John 4:8). The attribute of love defines the purpose and goal of God with regard to all of humanity. God may hate sin, but He loves the sinner. God loves every single one of us, and He vows to raise us out of our selfish, quarrelsome lives of sin into a loving, brotherly, peaceful life of righteousness, if only we will believe. Out of love, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to live among us, to die for our sins, and to be raised for our justification and sanctification. The birth of Christ was God’s promise of love to you and me—that He would freely give us the gift of salvation in Jesus Christ if only we would sincerely ask Him for it. Jesus is the love of God that can redeem humanity. Because of God’s love and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, heaven can now be yours if you will only put your trust in the salvation of the cross and resurrection. Through faith in Jesus Christ, you can now have a new and glorious future in heaven. God’s love liberates! You can win!

Download or read book Love Awakened by Love written by Mark O'Keefe, OSB and published by ICS Publications. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A skilled moral theologian, Benedictine Father Mark O’Keefe leads God-seekers to focus attention on St. John of the Cross’s teaching in The Ascent of Mount Carmel: The essence of the spiritual journey is union with God through the practice of the virtues, especially faith, hope, and love. It‘s virtuous living that enables us to truly love God and be conformed to God in divine union. For St. John, religious “experiences” are not the essence of the spiritual journey at all, nor is asceticism for its own sake. John’s emphasis on the nada is to lead us to liberating emptiness -- authentic human freedom-- that equips us to be filled with the divine life. At the journey’s summit, we find the God who is Love. This book is an insightful companion to The Ascent of Mount Carmel. Ideal for personal and group study, Carmelite formation, college courses, and a must for every library.
Download or read book Liberated written by Karen Soole and published by Christian Focus. This book was released on 2021-11-05 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are parts of the Bible that I have struggled with, and bits that seemed far removed from my life as a twenty-first-century woman. I have wrestled with them, but as I read, I came to know that God offers more liberation, more freedom, and more fulfilment than I could dare to imagine. Equality for all people is a foundational principle in our culture and embedded in our law. The consensus is clear: all people are equally valuable. However, religion is seen as a stronghold that promotes inequality. There is a widespread belief that the Bible is sexist. Women fear that God does not want their good and instead, he wants to box them in and clip their wings. Our culture believes that they need to forget religion to achieve equality. This, however, is not the case. The principle of equality is established in the first pages of the Bible, and its message exalts and dignifies both men and women. Bible teacher, conference speaker and author Karen Soole shares what she has discovered as she has read the Bible and grappled with it over many years. She takes us through the Bible story from Genesis to Revelation and challenges the reader to decide whether God is offering life and liberation, or suffocation and oppression. It is an invitation to meet and know the God of the Bible, and to view his Word through the lens of his character. Chapter titles include Thirsty Made in God's Image: Genesis 1 Made for Relationship: Genesis 2 Messing up the Design: Genesis 3 The Fallout How the Story Unfolds From Bad to Worse Worrying Laws Wisdom for All The Broken Bride The Wife Liberation Although this book is about women, it is not 'only for women'. These things matter to everyone. This book was written for men and women, although it addresses concerns that women face in particular. These concerns are relevant to everyone.
