Download or read book Suffering and the Sovereignty of God written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2006-09-13 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last few years, 9/11, a tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and many other tragedies have shown us that the vision of God in today's churches in relation to evil and suffering is often frivolous. Against the overwhelming weight and seriousness of the Bible, many Christians are choosing to become more shallow, more entertainment-oriented, and therefore irrelevant in the face of massive suffering. In Suffering and the Sovereignty of God, contributors John Piper, Joni Eareckson Tada, Steve Saint, Carl Ellis, David Powlison, Dustin Shramek, and Mark Talbot explore the many categories of God's sovereignty as evidenced in his Word. They urge readers to look to Christ, even in suffering, to find the greatest confidence, deepest comfort, and sweetest fellowship they have ever known.

Reid invites you to exchange try-hard striving for hope-filled freedom without abandoning your doer’s heart in the process.

Your desire to get things done is not something to temper but something to embrace as you serve from a place of strength and peace—knowing Christ already did His most important work for you on the cross. With “It Is Finished” activities at the end of each chapter and a fiveweek Bible study included, Made Like Martha helps you find rest from striving even as you celebrate your God-given design to “do.” “Made Like Martha will infuse your life with a fresh perspective as you learn both to embrace your God-given personality and also discover how—and when—to rest and retreat.” —Karen Ehman, Proverbs 31 Ministries speaker and New York Times bestselling author of Keep It Shut

Download or read book Chosen by God written by R. C. Sproul and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2011-02-18 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly 200,000 copies sold! Chosen by God by Dr. R. C. Sproul is a contemporary classic on predestination, a doctrine that isn’t just for Calvinists. It is a doctrine for all biblical Christians. In this updated and expanded edition of Chosen by God, Sproul shows that the doctrine of predestination doesn’t create a whimsical or spiteful picture of God, but rather paints a portrait of a loving God who provides redemption for radically corrupt humans. We choose God because he has opened our eyes to see his beauty; we love him because he first loved us. There is mystery in God’s ways, but not contradiction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No Worries: Learning to Trust Our Sovereign God Are you a worrier? Are you preoccupied with the "What ifs" and worst-case scenarios? Unrelenting doubts and fears can be paralyzing Worry can interfere with your daily life and ruin your relationships. We may dignify worry by calling it by some other name-concern, burden, a cross to bear - but Jesus calls it sinful. God feeds the birds and clothes the lilies and He will clothe and feed us. However it is our "little faith" that hinders Him from working in our lives. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells His followers - then and now - "do not be worried." That seems impossible considering He also says, "in this world you WILL have trouble..." but there has to be a way to do what He says in spite of the realities of life. There is The fact that Jesus Himself commanded it means it is possible. If you struggle with worries and wish you didn't, join Jan and Pam - two recovering worriers - for "No Worries: Learning to Trust our Sovereign God" This 8-week study will lead you through Scripture and help you learn how to walk in God's truth and to trust Him, eliminating your need to worry He has great blessings for us if only we will trust Him.

Download or read book Providence written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New from Best-Selling Author John Piper From Genesis to Revelation, the providence of God directs the entire course of redemptive history. Providence is "God's purposeful sovereignty." Its extent reaches down to the flight of electrons, up to the movements of galaxies, and into the heart of man. Its nature is wise and just and good. And its goal is the Christ-exalting glorification of God through the gladness of a redeemed people in a new world. Drawing on a lifetime of theological reflection, biblical study, and practical ministry, pastor and author John Piper leads us on a stunning tour of the sightings of God's providence—from Genesis to Revelation—to discover the allencompassing reality of God's purposeful sovereignty over all of creation and all of history. Piper invites us to experience the profound effects of knowing the God of all-pervasive providence: the intensifying of true worship, the solidifying of wavering conviction, the strengthening of embattled faith, the toughening of joyful courage, and the advance of God's mission in this world.

Download or read book Creation and the Sovereignty of God written by Hugh J. McCann and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-20 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creation and the Sovereignty of God brings fresh insight to a defense of God. Traditional theistic belief declared a perfect being who creates and sustains everything and who exercises sovereignty over all. Lately, this idea has been contested, but Hugh J. McCann maintains that God creates the best possible universe and is completely free to do so; that God is responsible for human actions, yet humans also have free will; and ultimately, that divine command must be reconciled with natural law. With this distinctive approach to understanding God and the universe, McCann brings new perspective to the evidential argument from evil.

Download or read book Sovereign God written by David Eells and published by Faithful Pub. This book was released on 2006-02 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A faith building revelation of God's power and purpose to use everything to mature and empower us for His use. Book Description The purpose of this book is to give you confidence in an all-powerful God who lovingly works all things together for your good to the end that you will be the vessel He so desires. As a vessel of God, you will see that faith in God will work for you and through you for others. Included in this book are many exciting testimonies of God's sovereignty manifested in power and grace. The questions in the last three pages of this book and many more are answered from the Word of God. This study and experience of the sovereignty of God has born much fruit in my life in the area of rest, peace, faith, and respect for Him. Others have told me the same thing and urged me to make a book of it. This study has sharpened my fear of God and removed my fear of man's conspiracies by the devil. It has given me a strong sense of the awesomeness of God. I feel it is my commission to share this with anyone who has the eyes to see and the ears to hear. Knowing the purpose and omnipotence of God lays a foundation for faith in the promises that removes the struggle from it. We will see how to cooperate with God in the process of His plan and so be vessels for it. When we discuss something as controversial as this we have to make sure we are based in the Scriptures, not adding or taking away. We must "contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints," not the apostate faith of our day. The reason this subject is so controversial is because Christians as a whole tend to pick and choose verses to align with what they wish to believe. But truth can only comeby accepting and fitting them all together for "the sum of thy word is truth." Many of the Scriptures we are going to look at have been ignored because they are contrary to human sentiment and reasoning, but they are there to bring us into the full knowledge of God that sets free. I realize that I am writing to a cross-section of Christianity and you may see some things that you cannot accept. However, I am sure that if you will not throw the baby out with the bath water, you will see things that will change your life. If you will read this book slowly and prayerfully, I am sure God will bless you. Your servant in Christ, David Eells About the Author Sovereign God, first offered as a self-published POD (Print On Demand) in 2002, even without the standard media attention, has acquired a phenomenal ground swell following of faithful readers across the US and has been changing the traditionally held concepts of God as the Creator in charge.
