Download or read book Being Faithful Christian Commitment in Modern Society written by Judith A. Merkle and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09-02 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how the Christian life is lived in a pluralistic situation where different contexts of belonging give rise to different moral challenges. While it is characteristic of modern life to exist in a postmodern situation where there is an erosion of comprehensive systems of meaning, we still live today in contexts of belonging. We still seek to gather out of the fragments of modern life the sustenance of a network of belonging, belief and practice which comprise a faithful life. The construction of such a life, not only for us, but for others, serves as the framework for our moral commitments. Furthermore, sustaining and transforming social frameworks which shape various aspects of human life form the life task of adult Christians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his last known epistle, Apostle Paul, the extraordinary missionary to the Gentiles, left a poignant reflection on the most important matters in life. As we read and meditate on 2 Timothy, we are challenged to think about the direction and destiny of our own lives. · Are we in the Story of Jesus or are we in the many faulty and futile stories of the world? · Are we being useful to the King of kings or are we wasting our lives in something transient and puny when measured against eternity? These questions and more come to us from Paul’s epistle and have to be answered in each of our hearts. Robert Solomon’s passion for biblical exposition helps us plumb the depths of God’s Word and let it cast its searchlights on our lives so that we are taught, rebuked, corrected, and trained in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16).
Download or read book Faithful Father Faithful Bride written by Bill Robinson and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2015-08-20 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in perilous times. Christians are facing challenges around the world. In the Middle-East and in Africa and Asia believers are being persecuted and executed just for being Christian. In the West there are efforts to marginalize and ostracize Christians just for standing for the truth in the Word of God. In light of all of this, we are called to be the spotless Bride of Christ. We read in the Bible that in the last days, there will be a great falling away and that only those who endure to the end will be saved. Our success in this calling is dependent on our understanding of the faithfulness of God. It is only as we come to know Him and the excellence of His character that we are able to remain faithful. Even then, it will require more than just grit and determination. We must develop habits and disciplines that will position us for success. In the chapters of this book, we will discover the magnificent faithfulness of God and we will explore those disciplines that will ensure that we remain that faithful Bride.

Download or read book Raising Up a Faithful Exegete written by K. L. Noll and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2010-06-23 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-three colleagues, friends, and former students of Richard Nelson honor him by contributing essays to this volume. Nelson is the fromer Kraft Professor of Biblical Studies at Lutheran Theological Seminary in Gettysburg, PA, and current W. J. A. Power Professor of Biblical Hebrew and Old Testament Interpretation as well as Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University, Dallas. He is the author of numerous books, commentaries, and articles. Raising Up a Faithful Exegete centers around topics of particular interest to Prof. Nelson, especially Deuteronomy, the Former Prophets, priesthoods, social interactions, and theology. In fact, this book could be seen as a one-volume summation of current thinking on Deuteronomy, the Former Prophets, Deuteronomism, and Biblical Theology, disguised as a Festschrift. “For eleven years, I had the distinct pleasure and honor of having Richard Nelson as a senior faculty colleague. He has served as a fine model of what it means to be a dynamic and innovative teacher, an insightful mentor, a world-class scholar, a supportive friend, a dedicated leader in the church, and a person who takes sheer delight in all facets of his calling.”—Richard P. Carlson, Lutheran Theological Seminary, Gettysburg, PA “Rich Nelson is a truly rare breed of man. He is not only a passionate and respected scholar, thoroughly trained and representative of historical-critical approaches to the Hebrew Bible. But he is also open and interested in the whole spectrum of different ways in which the Bible is read and understood both in the church and the academy. He is a remarkable role-model.”—Roy L. Heller, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University, Dallas “Rich Nelson was one of the best graduate students I ever taught. In a seemingly effortless manner, he did basic, significant research that provided the grounds for a major but to that point generally undeveloped reading of the Deuteronomistic History. Out of that early study and his later scholarly work, he has rightly become one of our leading interpreters of Deuteronomy and the history that evolved out of its circle.”—Patrick D. Miller, Jr., Princeton Theological Seminary

Ross Chapman and Ryan Tafilowski show how work is a way to love God, serve our neighbors, and demonstrate the gospel. With a broader understanding of God's work in the world, we are able to engage our daily work as part of how God makes all things new. This guide invites you to reflect on the meaning and purpose of your life's work and to transform your work into service to those around you.
