"As a young woman and new believer, recently delivered from much," English writes, "I experienced an intense sense of God's call to ministry. Yet, as I sought to find encouragement and support, I discovered only locked doors and insurmountable walls. The Church seemed to be standing over me with folded arms and pinched lips, doubting and rejecting a calling I could not deny. Endlessly, I questioned why? Why would the Lord call me to ministry by His Spirit, only to then surround me with a steel vault of teachings and attitudes that blocked my entrance and denied my gifts? I heard but one reply: 'Study the Scriptures regarding women.'... Each dya, for more than a decade, I sat at my kitchen table and studied the Bible's passages pertaining to women. I began with Proverbs 31. That was merely the first leg of my journey...." Removing the Veil reveals our history, our hearts, and our hope, and calls women of the Church to arise! Book jacket.
Download or read book Revealing God s Truth written by Paul Welechenko and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians should never feel like they have to deny science to keep their faith. We can place our faith in Christ and scripture and at the same time embrace science. We need not be discouraged by scientific discoveries, but rather be encouraged by them as all truth—scientific and spiritual—is God’s truth. The complexities of the universe, Earth, and life reveal the creative mind of God and provide proof they could not have originated by chance. The Bible is not falsifiable, but a 6,500-year-old Earth is. Christians can believe in the Bible and in evolution. Evolution is not a God replacement. Revealing God’s Truth provides clear and helpful guidance in understanding that God exists and that the universe, including Earth, is old. Stories from Genesis such as the creation story and Noah’s flood are examined and offered as proof of God’s intelligent design for Earth and all life. Faith-building arguments for the validity of science and the Bible are made, giving Christians hope in an infinite, intelligent, and loving God.

Download or read book Lies We Believe About God written by Wm. Paul Young and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the bestselling novel The Shack and the New York Times bestsellers Cross Roads and Eve comes a compelling, conversational exploration of twenty-eight assumptions about God—assumptions that just might be keeping us from experiencing His unconditional, all-encompassing love. In his wildly popular novels, Wm. Paul Young portrayed the Triune God in ways that challenged our thinking—sometimes upending long-held beliefs, but always centered in the eternal, all-encompassing nature of God’s love. Now, in Wm. Paul Young’s first nonfiction book, he invites us to revisit our assumptions about God—this time using the Bible, theological discussion, and personal anecdotes. Paul encourages us to think through beliefs we’ve presumed to be true and consider whether some might actually be false. Expounding on the compassion fans felt from the “Papa” portrayed in The Shack—now a major film starring Sam Worthington and Octavia Spencer—Paul encourages you to think anew about important issues including sin, religion, hell, politics, identity, creation, human rights, and helping us discover God’s deep and abiding love.

What did God plan for man? Is the new birth the beginning or the ending of man's salvation? Is Gods plan just to take man to heaven? Is the end of mans kingdom near? What country will the beast come from? Find the answers to these questions and many more in Gods Revealed Word of Truth.

Download or read book The Teaching Ministry of the Church written by William Yount and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2008-08-15 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of The Teaching Ministry of the Church makes a major overhaul of its predecessor, increasing the content from eighteen to twentythree chapters and contributors from six to thirteen. These writers assert the need for such an expanded update is due to our everchanging world. For example, the rise of Islamic fundamentalism, proliferation of religious sects, and secularization of our culture greatly increase the importance of ensuring the church produces fully developed, biblically informed followers of Jesus. To that end, The Teaching Ministry of the Church presents a full overview of Christian education in four major sections: Theological Foundations, Biblical Foundations, Preparation for Teaching, and Structuring the Teaching Ministry of the Church. Within this framework, a step-by-step plan for establishing and maintaining an effective teaching ministry among preschoolers, children, youth, and adults takes shape. Key chapters: “The Bible as Curriculum,” “The Church’s Role in Teaching,” “Creating an Unforgettable Learning Experience,” and “Equipping Teachers.”

Download or read book The Mystery of the Gospel written by Evangelist Victor A. Sackey and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-11-18 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mystery of the Gospel: Revealing the First Century Truths About the Kingdom of God is an attempt to expose the messages of the coming kingdom of God to earth, which Christ brought down from the Father unto mankind. This knowledge is not known by majority of professing Christendom, but God wants the latter to be encompassed by the truth because it is evident that there is an undeniable force, power, and sovereignty of the Spirit of God moving within the true church of God and also the end-time charismatic movement of Christians. The coming of Christ and his establishment of the church of God became the standard and benchmark for living the Christian life at the time. However, due to opposing forces to the church of God and the first followers of Christ, the truth became suppressed. In other words, the first-century message and essence of the coming of Christ to proclaim his coming kingdom became lost or seriously flawed. Fortunately, Christ gave a promise concerning his church. He said, I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Despite the continuous existence of Gods true church, God is still real and moving in the lives of all professing Christians who are in the majority but are ignorant of the existence of the true church of God. God is not out to save all of humanity in this lifetime but will introduce and reeducate humanity to the laws and government of heaven in the millennial rule of Christ here on earth. God is a family, and as Christ is the firstborn of many brethren, so shall the first-fruit saints be called, begotten, and then born or resurrected as sons and daughters, and the rest of the professing Christians as the children being re-taught the truths, laws, statutes, and commandments of God in the kingdom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story about the beginning of earth is made clear with God's truth as revealed in this book. For every positive force, there is a negative one that would keep us alert to discern where we should stand. We must know the difference. The Holy Spirit of God is always around to assist the believers, the evil spirit of Satan is also roaming around ready to take over if we are not mindful of God's truth and knowledge that protects us from falling to sin. We need to wake up to the truth! You will find it interesting to know that there are three stages of the world age, but there is only one heaven and one earth. This book also reveals the true story of Adam and Eve's lives at the beginning at the Garden of Eden, how Eve was truly formed, and what the "apple" really symbolizes. Many will be trapped by Satan's net due to lack of knowledge or negligence to pay attention to God's truth. We must seek the truth! This book will guide you through some of the most important passages that lead to the truth. God's words are real and everlasting that you can trust! All blessings flow from God. What does God want from us? He wants us to love Him. How do we love God? Our relationship with God is essentially important. It is a relationship of give and take based upon righteousness. It discusses the figurative meaning of the words "thirst" and "famine", a wedding with Christ, and a revelation of a new Kingdom to be inherited by God's children.

Your beliefs must rest solidly on the teachings of the Holy Bible.

But this is definitely not the case." "Many historians and religious scholars, some quoted in this publication, attest to the influence of Greek or Platonic philosophy in the development and acceptance of the Trinity doctrine in the fourth century." God the Father is the One who calls us to baptism and a new way of life (John 6:44, 65), and it is His goodness that leads us to repentance and baptism (Romans 2:4). "As even the New Catholic Encyclopedia, quoted from earlier, acknowledges: “The majority of New Testament texts reveal God’s spirit as something, not someone; this is especially seen in the parallelism between the spirit and the power of God..."
