Download or read book Man s Rejection of God written by RL Keller and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mahatma Gandhi was quoted as saying, "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." What an indictment of the Christian community. Is it true? Are we, as Christians, the reason people keep from embracing Christianity? Have we caused people to walk away from the one belief system that can provide redemption for their sins? In Man's Rejection of God: Who's Responsible? I devote whole chapters to atheists, agnostics, apostates, hedonists, those devoted to the cult of personality and more. I look at the three main world religions besides Judaism and Christianity. I give the reader a brief look into their belief system and how it compares to that of Christians. I touch on those who say they believe in God yet show no visible evidence of it. I investigate our being able to relate to others outside the faith. I lay out what it means to be vulnerable. I take a look at minimalism and individualism and how they can apply to the Christian. I look at the impact words have on our lives and also dig into the importance of forgiveness. I paint a simple picture of Jesus and underscore that picture with quotes from the great C.S. Lewis. I call for a time of re-assessment as we strive to be more genuine and consistent in our faith.
Download or read book God s Remedy for Rejection written by Derek Prince and published by Whitaker House. This book was released on 2002-11-08 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rejection. It’s a horrible feeling that you don’t quite match up, that you’re forever falling short, that you’ll never live up to others’ expectations. We’ve all faced it, whether it’s being last-pick for the softball team at school, being overlooked for a promotion at work, or being excluded from a group of friends. Sometimes the rejection runs even deeper. Feelings of loneliness and inadequacy are hard to handle. The good news is there’s a remedy. It’s in Jesus Christ, who faced the ultimate rejection and therefore knows how it feels. In bearing our sins, He was rejected by the Father and by us, His own creation, as well. He knows how it hurts. Because He faced that pain, we no longer need to. He’s planned another life for us, a life of acceptance in His family and freedom from rejection. Let go of the shame and enjoy the Father’s embrace today.
Download or read book Dealing with the Rejection and Praise of Man written by Bob Sorge and published by Bob Sorge. This book was released on 1999 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rejection from other people can distress, wound, and imprison the soul. Equally harmful, the praise of man is also a snare, capable of disqualifying God's servants from their highest inheritance. Bob Sorge reveals in this brief book how the truths that set us free from both extremes are amazingly similar. This book answers some crucial questions which grip virtually every believer: What do I do when others demean or hurt me? And how should I respond when others honor or compliment me? Rejection and praise are like twin gullies that flank the narrow highway of holiness. Every step counts. For Jesus, man's opinions were meaningless in light of the exuberant affection and passionate approval of His Father. Let God's truth set you free from the power of rejection's woundings and from the entrapment of man's praises. Learn how to hold your heart before God in a way that pleases Him in the midst of both rejection and praise from people.

Download or read book God s Solution To Man s Problems written by Apollo Kikule and published by novum pro Verlag. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Death is real for all of us. Just as faith and resurrection must be the reality and goal for true believers and not the fleeting things of the world. The Sanhendrists (the church leaders of the day) in their religiosity crucified their own Saviour, in like manner, the Christianity of our day has traded God's glory for the vain things of earth. All this has happened because man has not comprehended God's Word due to: a) Breaking up Scripture into individual choicest verses unto which men exercise their intellectual abilities; b) thus losing the spiritual meaning and sequence of each Chapter c) resulting into the act of rationalizing on every verse thus allowing individual preachers to curve out individual territorial ground for the followers of the same taste, instead of the One Church of God with each member filled with God's gift of the Spirit. Here in the Epistle to the Romans we find God's solution to man's rebellious ways. The spiritual content of the epistle is presented instead of the rationalistic approach of our day with its deceit and hypocrisy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Followers of Jesus need not fear hard questions or objections against Christian belief. In A Reasonable Response, renowned Christian philosopher and apologist William Lane Craig offers dozens of examples of how some of the most common challenges to Christian thought can be addressed, including: Why does God allow evil? How can I be sure God exists? Why should I believe that the Bible is trustworthy? How does modern science relate to the Christian worldview? What evidence do we have that Jesus rose from the dead? Utilizing real questions submitted to his popular website ReasonableFaith.org, Dr. Craig models well-reasoned, skillful, and biblically informed interaction with his inquirers. A Reasonable Response goes beyond merely talking about apologetics; it shows it in action. With cowriter Joseph E. Gorra, this book also offers advice about envisioning and practicing the ministry of answering people’s questions through the local church, workplace, and in online environments. Whether you're struggling to respond to tough objections or looking for answers to your own intellectual questions, A Reasonable Response will equip you with sound reasoning and biblical truth.
Download or read book The Problem of God Yesterday and Today written by John Courtney Murray and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1964-01-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an urbane and persuasive tract for our time, the distinguished Catholic theologian combines a comprehensive metaphysics with a sensitivity to contemporary existentialist thought. Father Murray traces the “problem of God” from its origins in the Old Testament, through its development in the Christian Fathers and the definitive statement by Aquinas, to its denial by modern materialism. Students and nonspecialist intellectuals may both benefit by the book, which illuminates the problem of development of doctrine that is now, even more than in the days of Newman, a fundamental issue between Roman Catholic and Protestant, theologians and nonspecialst intellectuals alike will find the subject of vital interest. As a challenge to the ecumenical dialogue, the question is raised whether, in the course of its development through different phases, the problem of God has come back to its original position. Father Murray is Ordinary professor of theology at Woodstock College, Woodstock, Maryland. St. Thomas More Lectures, 1. "A gem of a book—lucid, illuminating, brilliantly written. A fine contribution to the current Catholic theological renaissance."—Paul Weiss.
Download or read book The God Who Is with Us written by Benjamin H. Kim and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-10-21 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary theologies of mission rely on the central concept of the missio Dei, which states that mission properly belongs to the triune God over the church. However, present accounts fail to establish any corresponding link between God’s trinitarian economy and ontology. In other words, the problem of the missio Dei is the problem of the break between the act and being of God. Benjamin H. Kim argues that a repair is needed for missio Dei theology, and this repair is found in reexamining Barth’s doctrine of revelation. In doing so, the locus of mission moves from God’s trinitarian sending to his trinitarian revealing. The repair is further advanced by Dietrich Bonhoeffer through his concept of person, which functions as the unity of act and being. This account returns mission to its original definition, which was intended to describe the inner-trinitarian being of God in relation to humanity. The concept of person recovers this meaning of mission by locating it first in the person of Christ and second, in the collective person of the church existing as the Christ community. Thus, Bonhoeffer’s description of revelation in terms of personhood provides and account that is more faithful to the missio Dei’s core insights.

Download or read book Burden of Proof Using Known Concepts to Reveal Eternal Truths written by Brandon Russell and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-11-28 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where is the proof? Why believe in something if there is no evidence? Also, why believe in something when there is evidence that runs contrary to a particular belief? This is basic logic and a reason why most deny a deity. Most who deny a deity argue there is no evidence. Also they point to scientific evidence to validate their skepticism. However, what if there is evidence and evidence that is overwhelming? Those who deny a deity have every right to demand evidence. Yet, what will they do when they are provided proof? The Bible advocates a God who is sovereign. If this is true everything points to his existence. God is not hiding, he wants to be known. BURDEN OF PROOF: Using Known Concepts to Reveal Eternal Truths, was written to identify the evidence of God's existence. The author answers forty thought-provoking questions that highlight the eternal truths of Scripture. Thus proving that the burden of proof does not lie with those who believe in God but with those who don't.

Book excerpt: Michel Quoist's method, he says, is to live and to observe how others live, and then to reflect on what is seen and learned. "I wish to write nothing but what has been lived." Today's Christian cannot live as the Christian lived yesterday. He must find a new form of life. His spirituality cannot be that which was formed for monks, but must come out of his living in the world, where he encounters God in his everyday life. Father Quoist makes frequent reference to the laity as important in the development of this new life.
