Download or read book I Stand with Christ written by Zhang Rongliang and published by Whitaker House. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "My name is Zhang Rongliang, and I am an unashamed follower of Jesus Christ.…It is considered quite dangerous to reveal the contents of this book, but these are stories that need to be told for God’s glory and for the encouragement of the church.” So begins this extraordinary first-person account by the prominent leader of one of the largest underground churches in China. A former Communist Party member, Zhang took a stand for Christ and was targeted for prison, work camps, and torture, all the while helping to build a network of millions of faithful believers. Spanning the time of Mao’s regime to today, Zhang testifies of God’s supernatural movements, of the sacrifice of countless Christians who loved and served Christ—regardless of the cost—and of the exciting new vision among believers in China to reach not only the Chinese but the entire world with the gospel.
Download or read book The Shape of Sola Scriptura written by Keith A. Mathison and published by Canon Press & Book Service. This book was released on 2001 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In what shape do we find the doctrine of sola Scriptura today? Many modern Evangelicals see it as a license to ignore history and the creeds in favor of a more splintered approach to the Christian living. In the past two decades, Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox apologists have strongly tried to undermine sola Scriptura as unbiblical, unhistorical, and impractical. But these groups rest their cases on a recent, false take on sola Scriptura. The ancient, medieval, and classical Protestant view of sola Scriptura actually has a quite different shape than most opponents and defenders maintain. Therein lies the goal of this book-an intriguing defense of the ancient (and classical Protestant) doctrine of sola Scriptura against the claims of Rome, the East, and modern Evangelicalism. "The issue of sola Scriptura is not an abstract problem relevant only to the sixteenth-century Reformation, but one that poses increasingly more serious consequences for contemporary Christianity. This work by Keith Mathison is the finest and most comprehensive treatment of the matter I've seen. I highly recommend it to all who embrace the authority of sacred Scripture." -R.C. Sproul, Ligonier Ministries

Download or read book Stand Firm written by John MacArthur and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Stand Firm, John MacArthur resounds the Christian's call to holiness. He does this by outlining some of the dimensions of the Christian life, especially as it relates to living in a post-Christian era. First, he addresses the importance of having and maintaining a Christian conscience. Second, he talks about the importance of the Christian to not only his neighbor but also to love his enemy, and this is largely done through a focus on the teaching of Deuteronomy and on the teaching of Jesus Christ in Matthew 5. Third, he further elaborates on the nature of the Christian love and the fact that it often mean loving in a sacrificial way that can require suffering. Fourth, he asserts the necessity of prayer in the Christian life and also elaborates on the true substance of Christian prayer. Fifth, he corrects any false notion that Christian faith is meant to garner influence in culture. He calls this the "myth of influence." Finally, he drives home the importance of persevering to the end of this life as a distinguishing mark of the Christian life, underscoring the title of the book, Stand Firm"--
Download or read book Glorified Fasting written by Franklin Hall and published by Ravenio Books. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fasting, like prayer, is an integral part of the Word of God. To dispute this would be as foolish as denying that water is wet. In “Glorified Fasting,” Franklin Hall passionately explores the significance of fasting for Christians. He invites us to “STAND FAST” on this irrevocable tradition, which we have been taught in the Word. By doing so, we honor Jesus and allow His glory to shine forth. This volume seeks to popularize one of the most downtrodden Biblical subjects—the practice of fasting. Hall’s mission is to reestablish fasting’s rightful place in the Gospel, revealing its glorious aspects. As we delve into this tremendous portion of the Word, we discover an avenue to immense power and glory with Jesus. Fasting, praying, crying, and mourning for souls become our tools, wielded without selfish motives. By uniting as pillars of faith, we prepare for the last-day signs that approach us—tragedy, destruction, persecution—armed with an effective weapon for the glory of Jesus. However, Hall is clear: Fasting is not a cure-all for spiritual, moral, or bodily complaints. Instead, he emphasizes its importance to prevent God’s people from drifting away from the old-time faith and succumbing to modernism.

Download or read book Stand Fast in Your Christian Liberty written by Barry S. Ross and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-01-15 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian liberty is one of the most debatable doctrines within the Christian faith. It is because of this doctrine that there are many divisions within the Church in our modern time. Most sincere Christians are tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine thus running from Church to Church. Most that profess the name of Christ do so without bibilical knowledge of bibilical doctrines of the Christian faith because they do not take the time to study their own bibles. God have said that his people perish for the lack of knowledge. There are lots of judgmental spirits within every Church which is forbidden of God in the Scriptures. These spirits cause divisions within the body of Christ. Most are not like the Christians in Berea, that searched the Scriptures being more noble than the Christians in Thessalonica in that those of Berea received the word of God with all readiness of mind, searching the Scriptures daily to see for themselves whether the teachings of the apostles were in fact the things written in the Scriptures. Most today fail terribly in this area, thus taking the word of those that claim to be delivering God's word to them and thereby many are deceived. These do not know where they stand in Christ Jesus! Christians are no longer under the law but under grace! Jesus Christ have redeemed us from the curse of the law becoming a curse for us that we might become the righteousness of God through him. There is now no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. For under the new dispesation of the gospel we are under grace. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus have set us free or have liberated us from the law of sin and death! Therefore we have liberty in Christ Jesus! Paul asked the question, Why should my liberty by judged by another man's conscience? We are liberated by Christ Jesus but we are not to use liberty for an occasion to the flesh or to sin nor are we to allow our individual liberty to become a stumbling block to cause others to fall into sin but we are to serve one another in love! Paul said that all things are lawful for me but all things are not expedient all things are lawful for me but all things edify not. Paul said that he kept under his body and bring it into subjection. He said all things are lawful for him but he would not be brought under the power of any! The apostles warned of those who have crept into the Church unaware that would attempt to chain us again to the law of bondage from which Jesus have broken the link in the chain setting us free. Under the new dispensation Christians are free to do or eat what one please so long as it is done or consumed in faith for anything done or consumed which is not in faith is sin! If the thing allowed is not against God or the law of the land Christians have the liberty to do it as long as their liberty does not cause another Christian to stumble. Scripture says, Happy is the he that condemeth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. Don't allow another man's convictions intrude on your individual liberty! God is not going to judge you by another man's conscience but your own, in the things which you allow! On the other hand, the apostle says it is wriong to allow your liberty, to cause another to stumble. He said the right thing to do in this matter is to keep from eating meat drinking wine or doing anything else that will make another believer fall. Keep what you believe then, between yourself and God and leave judgment to the Judge, of whom we all must stand before, and give an account of ourselves! Scripture instruct Christians to Let no man therefore judge you in meat or drink or in respect to any holy day or the new moon or the sabbath days which are a shadow of things to come but the body is of Christ! Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made you free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. This book is a must read to every sincere believer!

Download or read book Battling Unbelief written by John Piper and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2009-01-16 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pastor John Piper shows how to sever the clinging roots of sin that ensnare us, including anxiety, pride, shame, impatience, covetousness, bitterness, despondency, and lust in Battling Unbelief. When faith flickers, stoke the fire. No one sins out of duty. We sin because it offers some promise of happiness. That promise enslaves us, until we believe that God is more desirable than life itself (Psalm 63:3). Only the power of God’s superior promises in the gospel can emancipate our hearts from servitude to the shallow promises and fleeting pleasures of sin. Delighting in the bounty of God’s glorious gospel promises will free us for a less sin-encumbered life, to the glory of Christ. Rooted in solid biblical reflection, this book aims to help guide you through the battles to the joys of victory by the power of the gospel and its superior pleasure.

Download or read book Seated with Christ written by Heather Holleman and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2015-09-22 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Christians find themselves trapped in the rhetoric of platform, influence, retweets, and fame, they need a ladder out of the fray. Many of us live in a prison of self-absorption. Shackled with pride and despair, we compare ourselves to others constantly in our frantic, unending pursuit of perfection. Seated with Christ gets to the root of this behavior and charts a path to freedom. Scripture says that God’s beloved are seated with Christ in the heavens (Eph. 2:6), treasured by Him and given a place at His table. Heather Holleman unveils what this means for us. It means we walk out on the fight for acceptance. We quit measuring ourselves to others.We leap free from cycles of shame. Securely-seated people can ask themselves hard questions about their lives; they can deal with sin, grieve their losses, and move forward in hope. From a position of security and self-forgetfulness they can joyfully do the good works prepared for them uniquely. They can even celebrate the successes of others. Seated with Christ is a deeply personal, liberating look at a glorious truth: that we have a place at God's eternal table.
