Book excerpt: Excerpt from Taking Hold of God Studies on the Nature, Need and Power of Prayer WE believe that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow and that He alone who taught his early disciples can also teach us how to pray. We believe that prayer is a great reality; that prayer changes things that prayer, if a lost art, is lost only for those who have lost the consciousness of God. Therefore we begin with the Name which is above every name and in the chapters that follow, will strive to bring every thought into captivity to the Obedience Of Christ.

We cannot believe in prayer or write on prayer unless we believe in God. "He that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." A recent writer in The Christian Century (March 13, 1935) under the sarcastic title, "Why Not Use a Prayer-Wheel?" makes light of family prayer and public prayer. He says, "We no longer pray, but go through gestures. There is a decided wane in real belief in the efficacy of prayer."

Biederwolf and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How Can God Answer Prayer? Being an Exhaustive Treatise of the Nature, Conditions and Difficulties of Prayer There has always been a tendency on the part of some to look upon prayer as a sort of spiritual gymnastic, its sole pur pose being idealistic. To pray, they tell us, is to become like the One whom we contemplate in the exercise. This idea of prayer is not without its sanction. Even noted physicians like Dr. Hyslop tell us that the effect of prayer on the mind is more beneficial than any other therapeutic agent known. But these pages are writ ten to show that the whole truth is far from being found in any such theory of prayer, and to put the emphasis where it rightly belongs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Getting Things From God: A Study of the Prayer Life This was the petition of disciples who came to Jesus, desiring that He would aid them in this matter. He did not refuse the help they asked. He told them how to pray and He told them what great things even a small bit of faith would accomplish, if they really prayed. When you pray, say: 'our Father.' If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you can overturn mountains or pluck up trees by the roots. This is the teaching of our Lord. It is obvious that the force which is to accomplish such results is a world-moving one. It is not a tri ing power, but a power that can shake and destroy and build up.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concerning Prayer Its Nature, Its Difficulties, and Its Value The conclusion of Peace will leave Europe for many years face to face with economic, political and social problems of unexampled difficulty and a solution of these will have to be attempted by nations financially exhausted, vitally weakened and depressed by the acute moral and psychological reaction which, humanly speak ing, must necessarily follow an epoch of intense strain. Nothing but the sober determination, the quickened insight and the disinterested devotion, due to the permea tion of society by some great and creative spiritual force, can avail to meet the situation. Veni Creator Spiritus. In those who really believe in God the urgency of the need begets a presumption that it will be met - but not necessarily In the way In which any of us expect.

Download or read book The Nature and Tendency of Modern Spiritualism Classic Reprint written by Joseph H. Waggoner and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-09 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nature and Tendency of Modern Spiritualism While the library of Spiritualist publications, already large, is fast increasing, it is by no means surprising that books should be written against Spiritualism. Several have been presented to the public; some professing to expose it as a humbug - an illusion; others endeavoring to explain it on natural principles, as originating in magnetism, od force, Ac. These works, in the main, give evidence of learning, and a knowledge of science and philosophy. Had we any idea that this is the proper method of meeting the issue, we should not think it necessary to add to the list. But we have thought from the beginning of the work of Spiritualism, that it was Satanic in its nature and origin, and immoral in its tendency; and that the word of God presented the only antidote to its seductions. This work lays no claim to literary merit, or to philosophic or scientific research. Our course has not been in that direction. Our aim has not been to gratify a taste for such reading, but rather to make our pages useful. Nor have we aimed to please any particular class, but rather to fulfill the requirement to speak the truth in faithfulness, whether men will hear or whether they will forbear. We have written especially for the benefit of those who fear God, and tremble at his word. While we believe that in these pages is contained the only true solution of these mysterious phenomena, we would remind the readers that an intellectual conviction, or mere belief of the truth, will not shield them from the power of these deceptions. Nothing short of humble obedience to the truth, walking in the Spirit of God, will shield from the spirit of error. "If any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." Though he may be convinced of the truth, yet if the spirit of error reigns in his heart, the coming conflict will surely find him arrayed "against the Lamb and his army."

Download or read book The Legacy of sovereign joy written by JOHN PIPER and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An uplifting look at three famous and flawed fathers of the Christian church and how their lives can inspire us to fall in love with God and find the power to overcome our weaknesses. Augustine grappled with sexual passion. Martin Luther struggled to control his tongue. John Calvin fought the battle of faith with the world's weapons. Yet despite their failings, each man will always be remembered as a founding father to the Christian faith because of the messages they declared. And even with their deaths hundreds of years ago, their messages still speak today. John Piper explores each man's life, integrating Augustine's delight in God with Luther's emphasis on the Word and Calvin's exposition of Scriptures. Through their strengths and struggles, he teaches us how to better live today, for when we consider their lives, we behold the glory and majesty of God - and in that, find the power to overcome our weaknesses.

Download or read book A Hunger for God written by John Piper and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an appetite for God. And it can be awakened. I invite you to turn from the dulling effects of food and the dangers of idolatry, and to say with some simple fast: "This much, O God, I want you." Our appetites dictate the direction of our lives - whether it be the cravings of our stomachs, the passionate desire for possessions or power, or the longings of our spirits for God. But for the Christian, the hunger for anything besides God can be an arch-enemy. While our hunger for God - and Him alone - is the only thing that will bring victory. Do you have that hunger for Him? As John Piper puts it: "If we don't feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because we have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Our soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great." If we are full of what the world offers, then perhaps a fast might express, or even increase, our soul's appetite for God. Between the dangers of self-denial and self-indulgence is this path of pleasant pain called fasting. It is the path John Piper invites you to travel in this book. For when God is the supreme hunger of your heart, He will be supreme in everything. And when you are most satisfied in Him, He will be most glorified in you.
Download or read book A Stranger in the House of God written by John Koessler and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-08-30 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up the son of agnostics, John Koessler saw a Catholic church on one end of the street and a Baptist on the other. In the no-man’s land between the two, this curious outside wondered about the God they worshipped—and began a lifelong search to comprehend the grace and mystery of God. A Stranger in the House of God addresses fundamental questions and struggles faced by spiritual seekers and mature believers. Like a contemporary Pilgrim’s Progress, it traces the author’s journey and explores his experiences with both charismatic and evangelical Christianity. It also describes his transformation from religious outsider to ordained pastor. John Koessler provides a poignant and often humorous window into the interior of the soul as he describes his journey from doubt and struggle with the church to personal faith

Download or read book From Nature to Creation The Church and Postmodern Culture written by Norman Wirzba and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2015-09-23 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does Christianity change the way we view the natural world? In this addition to a critically acclaimed series, renowned theologian Norman Wirzba engages philosophers, environmentalists, and cultural critics to show how the modern concept of nature has been deeply problematic. He explains that understanding the world as creation rather than as nature or the environment makes possible an imagination shaped by practices of responsibility and gratitude, which can help bring healing to our lands and communities. By learning to give thanks for creation as God's gift of life, Christians bear witness to the divine love that is reconciling all things to God.
