Download or read book Greed as Idolatry written by Brian S. Rosner and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2007-08-28 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the origin and meaning of the words "greed is idolatry" found in Ephesians 5:5 and Colossians 3:5? In what sense are the greedy guilty of idolatry? Many different answers have been given to this question throughout the history of interpretation. In fact, a consensus exists on only one score -- that the expression serves to vilify greed. Brian Rosner ably takes on the challenge of interpretation by tackling the phrase as a metaphor, structuring his argument around an intriguing comparison to mountain climbing. From this vantage point, he offers a thorough history of interpretation of the phrase, including a study of the origin of the concept of idolatrous greed in biblical and Jewish sources. Rosner concludes that the comparison of greed with idolatry teaches that to desire to acquire and keep for oneself more money and material things is an attack on God's exclusive right to human love, trust, and obedience. With this work comes a stunning, fresh understanding of familiar terms -- "greed," "idolatry," and even "God" -- challenging both the church as a whole and individual believers to consider the far-ranging implications of our materialistic world. The first full-length study of this intriguing Pauline expression, Greed as Idolatry has profound implications for theological ethics today.

Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet and nationally renowned minister Timothy Keller exposes the error of making good things "ultimate" in this book, and shows readers a new path toward a hope that lasts. Success, true love, and the life you've always wanted. Many of us placed our faith in these things, believing they held the key to happiness, but with a sneaking suspicion they might not deliver. No wonder we feel lost, alone, disenchanted, and resentful. There is only one God who can wholly satisfy our cravings—and now is the perfect time to meet Him again, or for the first time. In Counterfeit Gods, Timothy Keller shows how a proper understanding of the Bible reveals the unvarnished truth about societal ideals and our own hearts. This powerful message cements Keller's reputation as a critical thinker and pastor, and comes at a crucial time—for both the faithful and the skeptical.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Knowing El Kanna: Our Jealous God, renowned author Charles Simpson explores the lesser-known name of God, El Kanna, translated as The Jealous God. While the notion of jealousy is often associated with sin, Simpson reveals how God's jealousy over His people can be a righteous and transformative force. Drawing from biblical teachings, Simpson unravels the connection between idol worship and the jealousy of God. He highlights how idolatry, which extends beyond physical objects to encompass desires that supersede our devotion to God, grieves His heart. As the New Testament expands the definition of idolatry to include covetousness, Simpson empowers readers to identify and overcome the idols that hinder their relationship with the Almighty. Knowing El Kanna not only exposes the idols in our lives but also provides practical guidance on how to free ourselves from their grip once and for all. With a deeply personal touch, Simpson parallels his own journey of overcoming idols with the nation of Israel's historical struggles, taking readers on a transformative exploration from Genesis through Revelation. Rooted in the timeless truths of God's Word, this book offers hope and encouragement to those seeking to align their lives with His heart. By viewing their lives through the lens of Scripture, readers will discover the freedom and fulfillment that come from a life liberated from idols. If you are yearning to become a person after God's own heart and are willing to embark on a life-changing journey, Knowing El Kanna: Our Jealous God is an invaluable resource. Prepare to be inspired, challenged, and equipped to walk an idol-free path, experiencing the fullness of a restored relationship with the One who loves you unconditionally.

Download or read book Deuteronomy written by Daniel I. Block and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 864 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arranged as a series of sermons, the book of Deuteronomy represents the final major segment of the biography of Moses. The sermons review events described in earlier books and challenges Israel to faithful living in the future. The theological significance of Deuteronomy cannot be overestimated. Few books in the Bible proclaim such a relevant word of grace and gospel to the church today. At its heart, Deuteronomy records the covenantal relationship between God and his people. God graciously has chosen Israel as his covenant partner and has demonstrated his covenantal commitment to them. Moses challenges the Israelites to respond by declaring that Yahweh alone is their God and by demonstrating unwavering loyalty and total love for him through obedience. Daniel Block highlights the unity between the God depicted in Deuteronomy and Jesus Christ. Christians who understand the covenantal character of God and who live under the grace of Christ will resist the temptation to retreat into interior and subjective understandings of the life of faith so common in Western Christianity.

Book excerpt: The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth. Includes a foreword by Robert Barron, author of Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith and James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage
