Download or read book Spiritual Bankruptcy written by John B. Cobb and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these times many people feel that their cherished religious values are held hostage by the forces of secularization and that, as a consequence, society is morally bankrupt. While acknowledging this problem, John Cobb overturns the prevailing expectations by drawing a distinction between secularization and secularism. Secularization, as Cobb uses the term, has a prophetic function. It is a process by which religion is cleansed and refocused on mission and ministry rather than on other-worldly myths and concerns. The uncritical understanding of religion that focuses on religion for its own sake is what Cobb calls secularism. In Cobb's view, secularization has led to secularism or a culture of consumerism that threatens those very religious convictions many hold dear. After teasing the concepts of secularization and secularism apart, Cobb proposes an alternate path for secularization that will help us reevaluate our relation to our world and each other.
Download or read book Spiritual Bankruptcy Tapping Into Your Faith Will Awaken That Dormant Place written by Minister Lucky and published by 1st Book Library. This book was released on 2003-09 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever felt as if the faith that brought you to Christ has now been lying in a torpid state? That the cares of this life have begun to drain you of the massive abundance that God once spoke into your life. Rest a sure children of God, you can come back to the intimate place in him that you so carelessly left. The lord has given to each one of us a measure of faith we as believers have to simply tap into it, and began to exercise that faith. We have to remember that "our faith is on trial" James tells us this very fact in his book. We need to be reminded of this daily and allow the lord to come back into the bed chambers and stir up that which once lied dormant. Victory is already ours, so why have the saints of God stop believing. Its simple, when the lord allowed me to step back and take a look at where I was and what I had been up too. I saw that the enemy had me looking at that which was tangible instead of placing my hopes in the heavenly places. I realized that I had to repent and do my first works all over again. I am a witness that if you pray the simple pray of belief. God will began to manifest him self unto you all over again. You will fall in love with him again, not for what he can give you or what he has done for you. But love him because of who he is. "God". Men and women of God, who have been redeemed for ten, fifteen and twenty years or more, hallelujah can and will be revived.

Download or read book Sandcastle Kings written by Rich Wilkerson Jr. and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world seems to have figured out the formula for manufacturing material success, but when it comes to finding true, lasting happiness, we are as lost as ever. We yearn for more, or less, or something that’s just different from what we have right now.Deep down, we know there must be satisfaction for our longing. We just don’t know where to find it. In Sandcastle Kings, Rich Wilkerson, Jr. uses four powerful stories from the seventh chapter of Luke to explain why spiritual fulfillment cannot be found in ourselves, in other people, in material things, or even in religion. By studying the stories of the centurion’s faith, the resurrection of the widow’s son, Jesus’ message about John the Baptist, and the anointing by the woman with the alabaster jar, you will be able to face your doubts and insecurities and overcome your anxiety, discontentment, and depression. Wilkerson wants you to understand that the only answer for your spiritual bankruptcy is Jesus and that until you turn to him you will never experience the lasting peace and joy you so desperately crave.

Download or read book The Spiritual Industrial Complex written by Jonathan P. Herzog and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-08-05 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his farewell address, Dwight D. Eisenhower warned the nation of the perils of the military-industrial complex. But as Jonathan Herzog shows in this insightful history, Eisenhower had spent his presidency contributing to another, lesser known, Cold War collaboration: the spiritual-industrial complex. This fascinating volume shows that American leaders in the early Cold War years considered the conflict to be profoundly religious; they saw Communism not only as godless but also as a sinister form of religion. Fighting faith with faith, they deliberately used religious beliefs and institutions as part of the plan to defeat the Soviet enemy. Herzog offers an illuminating account of the resultant spiritual-industrial complex, chronicling the rhetoric, the programs, and the policies that became its hallmarks. He shows that well-known actions like the addition of the words "under God" to the Pledge of Allegiance were a small part of a much larger and relatively unexplored program that promoted religion nationwide. Herzog shows how these efforts played out in areas of American life both predictable and unexpected--from pulpits and presidential appeals to national faith drives, military training barracks, public school classrooms, and Hollywood epics. Millions of Americans were bombarded with the message that the religious could not be Communists, just a short step from the all-too-common conclusion that the irreligious could not be true Americans. Though the spiritual-industrial complex declined in the 1960s, its statutes, monuments, and sentiments live on as bulwarks against secularism and as reminders that the nation rests upon the groundwork of religious faith. They continue to serve as valuable allies for those defending the place of religion in American life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Logos 3 is the fourth of my ten-volume, Logos 1-7 work, each volume of which is able to stand alone as God’s Book of Life. It took me over 3,000 pages in ten volumes to say How and What is Important to Believe. It seeks to explain by experience who Jesus is, who God is, who the Holy Spirit is, what the Bible is, why it is crucial to life that we believe in them, what “belief” is, what “to be saved” is, just how Salvation is effected, what the “take-away” benefits are, and how to find meaning and purpose in life. “As said, each of these ten volumes is able to stand alone as God’s Book of Life, portraying Life with the Holy Spirit by belief in the Christ of Jesus as Savior to eternal life with God. The ten volumes relate my Story of Writing God's Book of Life, using nonfiction essays and poetry with daily help of divine intervention in producing the seven-Logos Work of ten volumes, and the four supporting volumes. All seek to fully understand and explain this work inspired by the Holy Spirit, the Christ of Jesus. “The action of God fulfilled for him in seven years all of Rodger Crafton's dreams of becoming a writer of poetry and prose, an armchair philosopher, and an artist working in his new, upstairs garage atelier.”---R. Crafton Gibbs

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spiritual realm, hate is one of the most powerful forces because it is the opposite of love, the spiritual world's most powerful force.
