Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Point and Purpose in Preaching In the preparation of these pages the aim has been to give that which would be practical and helpful to the young minister who is beginning to find out that he didn't learn all there is to know from his theological professor. No claim is made for complete originality in what is given, but all that is said has passed through the alembic of personal experience. Much has been assimilated from a very wide acquaintance and association with many kinds of preachers; some has come through close observation and careful study of those who, like the Master, were always gladly heard by the common people, and still more, perhaps, has come from reading and reflection.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Preaching: A Series of Brief Chapters Preaching the gospel is the most sacred work to which any man can be called. When the preacher stands up before his people to speak to them, he rep resents his Master, and must be sure that he delivers his Master's message. Those into whose faces he looks have come up into God's presence with their needs, their questions, their burdens, their sorrows, their perplexities, and are waiting to learn from the preacher's lips what God has to say to them. Even if they are not consciously in this attitude Of listen ing expectation, this is really their condition, and it is the preacher's privilege and duty to give them what they need.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vision and Power: A Study in the Ministry of Preaching Two words describe, as fairly perhaps as any other two that could be chosen, the men who achieve notably great results in the manifold work of the world. Such results are achieved by men of vision and of power, in some true sense of the two meaningful words. To the minister of Christ these words are applicable in the highest meaning they can be made to bear. Be cause to him Vision is vision of spiritual realities, and power is the power of God himself in the setting up of his kingdom in the world. It was so not only with such chief apostles as Peter and Paul, but with all the first messengers of Jesus; and it is equally true of his messengers to - day.

Download or read book The Gospel and the Age written by W. C. Magee and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-20 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gospel and the Age: Sermons on Special Occasions The sermons contained in this volume were preached, as their title states, on special occasions. They were selected for publication not as possessing, for that reason, any special merit, but because they were the only ones the publication of which was possible for their author. The preacher of what are called extempore sermons - that is to say, sermons not read from manuscript, but delivered from brief notes - cannot reproduce them in print unless they happen to have been taken down at the time by a reporter. Such reports can hardly ever be verbatim, and are for the most part more' or less imperfect and inaccurate. The process of revising them and of supplying their omissions, with a view to publica tion, is not an easy one, even when attempted after the lapse of a few days - still less so after that of years; and its results are rarely quite satisfactoryeither to the author or the reader. A sermon thus patched and mended has neither the freshness and point of the extempore nor the smoothness and sustained thought of the written composition. It is neither a religious speech, which the extempore sermon ought to be - nor a religious essay, which the written sermon ought to be; and it runs the risk of uniting the defects of both styles with the merits of neither. Such as it is, however, this method was the only one available for me, when, in compli ance with many and repeated requests, I employed the enforced leisure of a long convalescence in pre paring for the press those few sermons of mine which have been reported with sufficient accuracy to allow of the attempt to reproduce them in somewhat better form.

Download or read book Salvation and the Old Theology written by Len G. Broughton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-24 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Salvation and the Old Theology: Pivot Points in Romans When I went into this course with the class I promised that I would endeavor to set forth the teaching of this great Epistle without regard to any theory that men have set up concerning it, and this purpose I have kept in mind continually. At some points I have been forced to present a different view from many of our most popular expounders of to-day, but wherever the differ ence has arisen I have found myself in harmony with the most orthodox expositors of The days of the fathers. The Epistle to the Romans is without doubt the bed-rock'in the theology of the wisest and best men that the Church has ever had. They have built their theology on its teaching. The essential doctrines of God, Christ, sin, atonement, propitiation, redemption, reconciliation, and Sal vation, as taught in Romans and held by the early Church, have been carefully considered in the series, and without trimming or modification. My purpose has been to present these old doc trines in the regular order in which the Apostle puts them, and to do it in the language 'oi the people; so that the simplest and plainest mind might grasp them.

Download or read book Determining the Form written by O. Wesley Allen and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautifully written and darkly funny journey through the world of the allergic. Like twelve million other Americans, Sandra Beasley suffers from food allergies. Her allergies -- severe and lifelong -- include dairy, egg, soy, beef, shrimp, pine nuts, cucumbers, cantaloupe, honeydew, mango, macadamias, pistachios, cashews, swordfish, and mustard. Add to that mold, dust, grass and tree pollen, cigarette smoke, dogs, rabbits, horses, and wool, and it's no wonder Sandra felt she had to live her life as "Allergy Girl." When butter is deadly and eggs can make your throat swell shut, cupcakes and other treats of childhood are out of the question -- and so Sandra's mother used to warn guests against a toxic, frosting-tinged kiss with "Don't kill the birthday girl " It may seem that such a person is "not really designed to survive," as one blunt nutritionist declared while visiting Sandra's fourth- grade class. But Sandra has not only survived, she's thrived -- now an essayist, editor, and award-winning poet, she has learned to navigate a world in which danger can lurk in an unassuming corn chip. Don't Kill the Birthday Girl is her story. With candor, wit, and a journalist's curiosity, Sandra draws on her own experiences while covering the scientific, cultural, and sociological terrain of allergies. She explains exactly what an allergy is, describes surviving a family reunion in heart-of-Texas beef country with her vegetarian sister, delves into how being allergic has affected her romantic relationships, exposes the dark side of Benadryl, explains how parents can work with schools to protect their allergic children, and details how people with allergies should advocate for themselves in a restaurant. A compelling mix of memoir, cultural history, and science, Don't Kill the Birthday Girl is mandatory reading for the millions of families navigating the world of allergies -- and a not-to-be- missed literary treat for the rest of us.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Message and the Man: Some Essentials of Effective Preaching Now, we are of those who, while trying to look facts in the face, endeavour, also, not to see double and to keep heart of hope. It is easy to make too much of statistics, and very easy, in a moment of depression, to come to conclusions concerning the state of the Church, and the life of the world, which a day of brighter and truer mood will greatly modify. There is no cause for either panic or pessimism, but there is cause for the asking of questions as to reasons for the condition of things, for the making of suggestions for their improvement.
