Download or read book Identity in Action written by Perry L Glanzer and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Colleges today are filled with talk about identity and identity politics. But Glanzer shifts the conversation in Identity in Action by focusing on something one rarely hears anyone mention--the idea of identity excellence. In various professions, identity excellence means becoming an excellent accountant, biologist, historian, social worker, or teacher. But professors rarely go farther to talk the identities that really matter to students. What does it mean to be: an excellent friend? a good neighbor? a steward of one's body, possessions, or the environment? And what about social identities? How does Christianity impact: how I think about race? or gender? or citizenship? Students are often unaware of how to resolve conflicts between these identities on their own. Identity in Action, empowers readers to be excellent--and think deeply about the "why" questions of life in a practical, theologically informed manner. With personal stories and expert research, Glanzer explains how students can untangle the confusion and integrate their core identities with excellence."--

Download or read book Jesus Outside the Lines written by Scott Sauls and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2015-03-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether the issue of the day on Twitter, Facebook, or cable news is our sexuality, political divides, or the perceived conflict between faith and science, today’s media pushes each one of us into a frustrating clash between two opposing sides. Polarizing, us-against-them discussions divide us and distract us from thinking clearly and communicating lovingly with others. Scott Sauls, like many of us, is weary of the bickering and is seeking a way of truth and beauty through the conflicts. Jesus Outside the Lines presents Jesus as this way. Scott shows us how the words and actions of Jesus reveal a response that does not perpetuate the destructive fray. Jesus offers us a way forward—away from harshness, caricatures, and stereotypes. In Jesus Outside the Lines, you will experience a fresh perspective of Jesus, who will not (and should not) fit into the sides.

Download or read book To Live Is Christ to Die Is Gain written by Matt Chandler and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using Paul's radical letter to the Philippians as his road map, Matt Chandler forsakes the trendy to invite readers into authentic Christian maturity. The short book of Philippians is one of the most quoted in the Bible, yet Paul wrote it not for the popular sound bites, but to paint a picture of a mature Christian faith. While many give their lives to Jesus, few then go on to live a life of truly vibrant faith. In this disruptively inspiring book, Chandler offers tangible ways to develop a faith of pursuing, chasing, knowing, and loving Jesus. Because if we clean up our lives but don't get Jesus, we've lost! So let the goal be Him. To live is Christ, to die is gain—this is the message of the letter. Therefore, our lives should be lived to Him, through Him, for Him, with Him, about Him—everything should be about Jesus.

Download or read book Jesus Christ and the Life of the Mind written by Mark A. Noll and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2013-10-16 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind (1994) Mark Noll offered a forthrightly critical assessment of the state of evangelical thinking and scholarship. Now, nearly twenty years later, in a sequel more attuned to possibilities than to problems, Noll updates his earlier assessment and charts a positive way forward for evangelical scholarship. Noll's Jesus Christ and the Life of the Mind shows how the orthodox Christology confessed in the ancient Christian creeds, far from hindering or discouraging serious scholarship, can supply the motives, guidance, and framework for learning. Christian faith, Noll argues, can richly enhance intellectual engagement in the various academic disciplines -- and he demonstrates how by applying his insights to the fields of history (his own area of expertise), science, and biblical studies in particular. In a substantial postscript Noll candidly addresses the question How fares the "evangelical mind" today? as he highlights "hopeful signs" of intellectual life in a host of evangelical institutions, individuals, and movements. -- From publisher description.
Download or read book Your New Life written by Elewechi Ngozi Modupe Okike and published by Assurance Publications Limited. This book was released on 2008 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is often said that the journey of a thousand miles begins with the very first step. Sometimes people who set out on a journey fail to get to their destination, either because of an accident, or other unforeseen circumstances. Just as it is in the physical realm, so also it is in the spiritual. Inviting Jesus into their lives is the first step in the Christian journey for new believers. The purpose of this book, YOUR NEW LIFE, is to ensure that they arrive at their 'destination' safely. God is not only interested in seeing souls saved He wants them established in the faith. This is the very essence of YOUR NEW LIFE. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, the book, has been written out of a strong desire to see new believers established in God. It is to help them get to grips with their faith in Christ and to go on to maturity. For more mature Christians, the book enables them to explain the basic foundation of the Christian life in the uttermost simplicity. In Matthew 28: 18-20, Jesus told His disciples that they should go and make disciples of all men and teach them to obey His commands. And in John 15:16, Jesus said that we did not choose Him, but He has chosen and appointed us that we should go and bear fruit, and that our fruit should remain, that whatever we ask the Father in His name, He will give to us. He was giving to His disciples final instructions in relation to how to build people spiritually in the church. On the subject of church life, there are countless books that have been published, many seminars to attend and church conferences arranged. The 'Body of Christ' is not devoid of teaching in relation to what the church needs and much of it is excellent revelation and we need to thank God that we live in a day when such teaching is readily available. Having acknowledged that, we must never forget the words Jesus said to His disciples in those final moments - 'make disciples and teach them to obey my commands'. This suggests that people are not born disciples, but that they need to enter a process by which they will become disciples. Jesus knew the importance and impact of a life touching another life. Therefore it is vital that we who have already submitted our own will and are true disciples give ourselves to the process of building people, so that they in turn will do the same to others. We were not told to gather a crowd and use techniques of the day to accomplish that aim; this is not about how many people we gather on a Sunday but how effective we are in making people true followers of Jesus Christ. This is what YOUR NEW LIFE is about, making people disciples and true followers of Jesus Christ. Ngozi Okike is a woman who all her life has understood these principles. Before she penned anything in this manual she has lived through it and tested it in her own life. Her desire is to see the 'Body of Christ' built up and a lifestyle to begin the moment a person surrenders his/her life to Christ, so that it will ultimately produce true discipleship in their lives. Because of her deep conviction and belief that a person should be taught to lean upon the Lord and know what He is commanding us to do she has given us (the Church) this tool by which we can achieve this objective in people's lives. You will find that YOUR NEW LIFE is a very basic manual written in plain easy to understand language so as not to alienate anyone from the truth. Ngozi herself is very educated, yet she has been able to communicate life-changing principles in a style that all will understand. It is her sincere desire that any new believer who gets hold of this book will not be in any doubt as to what the Christian life entails. Ngozi prays that every believer who reads this book will go on to maturity and help others find Christ. Every church, Christian group or organization that is passionate about seeing souls saved and nurtured in the faith should find this book an invaluable tool.

Download or read book A House Without Walls How Christ Unites His Ethnically Divided Church written by Dan Crabtree and published by Ambassador International. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In light of the heart-breaking ethnic division rending America today, A House Without Walls seeks to foster multi-ethnic harmony in evangelical congregations by bringing Biblical clarity to current racial and ethnic conversations. It uses Scripture to answer some pressing questions of our day like, “Are all people inherently racist?” “Does the gospel include racial justice?” “Does the Bible advocate for white repentance?” A House Without Walls attempts to realign discussions about race under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, focusing on Biblical understanding and applications. It also includes extra-Biblical research explaining the language and logic of current conversations about race, within an aim towards confidence in engaging the prevalent cultural discourse on race. The hopeful outcome of this work is listing unity among believers from diverse ethnic groups facilitated by this Scriptural study.

Life Together is bread for all who are hungry for the real life of Christian fellowship.
