Download or read book Send Me God written by and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early thirteenth century, the diocese of Liège witnessed an extraordinary religious revival, known to us largely through the abundant corpus of saints' lives from that region. Cistercian monks and nuns, along with beguines and recluses, formed close-knit networks of spiritual friendship that easily crossed the boundaries of gender, religious status, and even language. Holy women such as Mary of Oignies and Christina the Astonishing were held up by their biographers as models of orthodoxy and miraculous powers. Less familiar but no less fascinating are the male saints of the region. In this volume, Martinus Cawley has translated a trilogy of Cistercian lives composed by the same hagiographer, Goswin, who was a monk and cantor at the celebrated abbey of Villers in Brabant. Although all three of these saints were connected with the same order, their versions of holiness represent a study in contrasts, from the compassionate nun Ida of Nivelles, remarkable for her Eucharistic raptures, to the fiercely ascetic lay brother Arnulf, to the gentle monk Abundus, renowned for his deep liturgical and Marian piety. The title Send Me God derives from a revealing catchphrase that devout men and women used to request prayers from their spiritual friends. Send Me God is published as part of the Brepols Medieval Women Series.
Download or read book 10 Power Principles for Christian Service written by Warren W. Wiersbe and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a church culture that is rapidly losing its unique, intergenerational make-up in favor of small groups and even entire churches designed to target specific age groups, it can be difficult for ministers to relate to those who are not in their own demographic. But Warren and David Wiersbe, representing two generations, believe that generational differences should not keep ministers from relating to their congregations. In this thoughtful and practical book, they offer ten principles for Christian service that always work, at all times and in all places, inviting ministers to get back to the basics of serving others. New and seasoned pastors alike will find this a welcome source of inspiration and instruction on how they can relate and minister to people of all ages.
Download or read book Be Comforted Isaiah written by Warren W. Wiersbe and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For anyone who thinks that comfort is equivalent to pity and that it is only priceless to those who need an emotional crutch, best-selling author Warren Wiersbe applies the words of the prophet Isaiah to prove that God's comfort is no such thing. The word comfort actually translates "to repent" in Hebrew; our English translation, however, adds another dimension to the word since it originated from two Latin words meaning "with strength." With definitions and insights like this, the "pastor of pastors" and phenomenal author Warren Wiersbe continues to enliven the Scriptures as he weaves the words of Isaiah with historical explanations and thought-provoking questions for every chapter, creating a study guide that can be used in personal Bible study or with a group. With over 4 million copies of his "Be" series alone in circulation, he is a man who has given his life to a deep examination of the Word of God, to communicating it in such a way that the masses see its relevance for today.

By making this commitment and surrendering to the Holy Spirit's guidance, an incredible life-altering experience of spiritual evolution will take place.My story-journal of spending almost 3 1/2 years (on Saturdays) underneath a Prayer Tent in Balboa Park was a Holy Spirit filled encounter that started with asking the Lord questions and being spiritually open to hear and see His answers. As each event, answer, solution or change occurred, my excitement grew stronger and my expectation increased. Maybe the Holy Spirit has been guiding your life and you can relate or you are ready to start trusting Him more.

Book excerpt: Central to God’s character is the quality of holiness. Yet, even so, most people are hard-pressed to define what God’s holiness precisely is. Many preachers today avoid the topic altogether because people today don’t quite know what to do with words like “awe” or “fear.” R. C. Sproul, in this classic work, puts the holiness of God in its proper and central place in the Christian life. He paints an awe-inspiring vision of God that encourages Christian to become holy just as God is holy. Once you encounter the holiness of God, your life will never be the same.

Download or read book Friends with Everyone written by Meg Bucher and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-22 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why can it be so hard to find good friends? How can we become better friends? What happens when conflict threatens to derail friendship?"Friending" is so easy on the surface level, but how do we really know who are friends are? God litters our lives with people who come alongside us. Not every friendship looks the same, feels the same, or lasts forever. Do we love the people He has placed in our lives? When we recognize Christ's love in our reflection, it begin flows through us and into our relationships. By tuning into His voice above all others, we are free to embrace the broad scope of people God has brought into our lives. Jesus lofted love above all else in His friendships, and I believe He challenges us to do the same. "Friends with Everyone" challenges us to see and love people as He does, and to embrace friendship with fresh perspective. When we love each other for who we are, the genuine and authentic friendships we crave enrich our lives with a renewed sense of community.
Download or read book Does God Send Natural Disasters written by Troy J. Edwards and published by Troy Edwards. This book was released on with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of our theologians have told us that God is the responsible agent for all of the natural evil that we suffer. These theologians and philosophers are not without their “Biblical” proof-texts. For them, Sodom and Gomorrah, the flood of Noah, the plagues of Egypt, the trials of Job, the end time events of the book of Revelation and other historical accounts recorded in Scripture provide sufficient evidence that God is behind most, if not all, natural disasters. This book will show us that by understanding how the “permissive idiom” of the Ancient Eastern and Hebrew cultures was used to describe God’s actions, we can get a fresh perspective of God’s place in many of the natural disasters in Scripture that were attributed to Him. We will then see a loving God who is not destructive but actually does all that He can to save men from destruction without violating their freedom.
Download or read book God Sent Me written by Jeffrey M. Selman and published by . This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God Sent Me is the account of one citizen making himself heard and taking action to preserve constitutional protections in the context of the conflict between evolution science and religion-based creationism. When the public school board in Cobb County, Georgia, glued a disclaimer against evolution into the county's new science textbooks, the implications were clear-separation of church and state and accurate education were at risk. Author Jeffrey Selman, along with several other like-minded citizens and the ACLU, marched into battle with a lawsuit against the forces undermining science education. This narrative shines a light on just what it takes to protect freedom and reminds the average citizen to "Wake up and get to work!"
Download or read book Let God Send written by Matt Brough and published by Thicket Books. This book was released on 2020-11-02 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You have a calling, but you also have a “sending.” A calling is a familiar idea. People search for their true calling, hoping to find what they were made to do, eager to fulfill their life’s purpose. Let God Send reminds us that regardless of our individual vocation, we are always sent people, propelled by God’s Spirit into the world to serve others. This sent-ness comes from the very nature of God who is always on the move in our world. Jesus was sent. The Holy Spirit is sent. Abraham and Moses were sent. The first disciples became sent-ones as well. The journeyers in the biblical narrative show us that when God sends, the path is never clear or direct. Being sent can be daunting, disconcerting, and disorienting. We can feel under-qualified, under-educated, or unprepared. But none of our hesitancy changes the reality that a life of following Jesus is a life of being sent out. Using strong biblical narratives and questions for reflection or group discussion, Matt Brough guides us into an examination of what holds us back from making a move, how to go in a humble and listening way, and ultimately what each disciple of Jesus is called to do in our going. Let God Send is a straightforward, plainspoken plea for people who follow Jesus to get moving.
