Download or read book Game Day for the Glory of God written by Stephen Altrogge and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2008-08-21 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives biblical guidance on playing, watching, and discussing sports in a God-glorifying manner, helping believers grow in both their love for God and their passion for holiness. Scripture calls Christians to do everything for the glory of God. That means every thought, every word, and every deed are to be done in a way that brings pleasure and honor to him. Believe it or not, this includes playing, watching, and talking sports! But most of us fail to recognize how sports fit into the big picture of a God-glorifying life, unable to imagine that the God who created the universe might actually care about Little League games and Monday Night Football. So how do we play, watch, and talk sports for God's glory? Game Day for the Glory of God seeks to answer that question from a biblical perspective. Sports fan Stephen Altrogge aims to help readers enjoy sports as a gift from God and to see sports as a means of growing in godliness.

Download or read book For the Glory of God written by Daniel I. Block and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2014-08-12 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity Today Book Award Winner One of Worship Leader Magazine's Editor's Picks Current discussions about worship are often driven by pragmatics and personal preferences rather than by the teaching of Scripture. True worship, however, is our response to God's gracious revelation; in order to be acceptable to God, worship must be experienced on God's terms. Respected Old Testament scholar Daniel Block examines worship in the Bible, offering a comprehensive biblical foundation and illuminating Old Testament worship practices and principles. He develops a theology of worship that is consistent with the teachings of Scripture and is applicable for the church today. He also introduces readers to a wide range of issues related to worship. The book, illustrated with diagrams, charts, and pictures, will benefit professors and students in worship and Bible courses, pastors, and church leaders.

Download or read book Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ Revised Edition written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2004-10-27 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who is Jesus Christ? You've never met him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ-the divine Person revealed in the Bible-has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet. The depth and complexity of Jesus shatter our simple mental frameworks. He baffled proud scribes with his wisdom but was understood and loved by children. He calmed a raging storm with a word but would not get himself down from the cross. Look at the Jesus of the Bible. Keep your eyes open, and fill them with the portrait of Jesus in God's Word. Jesus said, "If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority." Ask God for the grace to do his will, and you will see the truth of his Son. John Piper has written this book in the hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else.

Daniel's story will teach you to tackle life's challenges with grace and creativity--as he shows you how to see your life through Christ's eyes.

Download or read book Intertwined written by Mark Ballenger and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-15 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don't you just want to be happy? Why does it seem so hard sometimes? Perhaps we struggle to consistently live with joy because we do not consistently live with purpose. God made you for a specific reason, and until you embrace his mission for your life, the roller coaster ride of emotions will just keep going. Happiness, purpose, and freedom are available, but it all depends on intertwining your good with God's glory. God's plan for our joy is not tied to life events but to the life of Christ. Intertwined is meant to dust off the cobwebs of the most profound phrase ever given to humanity, "The glory of God." When we rediscover what this means, we have rediscovered the path to everything good.
