Download or read book The 180 Degree Christian written by Carter Conlon and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2011-12-28 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The city of Corinth was well known in the ancient world as a place where every desire could be sated, where every discerning taste could find satisfaction. Unfortunately, the Corinthian church, instead of living generous and sacrificial lives, became infected with the "me, myself, and I" culture for which their city was famous. According to the apostle Paul, the Christians in Corinth ignored the poor and marginalized and focused on their own selfish agendas. Conlon believes that the cultural priorities of twenty-first century North America are not so very different from ancient Corinth--and that the modern church too often makes the "Corinthian mistake." In The 180 Degree Christian, Conlon calls today's church to turn away from its self-centeredness and toward the selfless serving like that of Christ.

Download or read book The Heart The Key to Everything in the Christian Life written by Tim Rowe and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We need to recover a truth that has been all but lost in modern-day Christianity. It has been buried for too long, and it is too valuable to be forgotten. This life-changing truth is that the heart is the key to everything in the Christian life. The heart is the wellspring of all our actions, emotions, motives, and character. Everything we are, everything we say, and everything we do flows directly from the heart. In The Heart-The Key to Everything in the Christian Life, believers will discover how the heart is central to spiritual growth and how it will help us better reflect the image of Christ in a fallen world. The heart is the key to our service and obedience to the Father. The heart is the key to the purity and depth of our worship, praise, and love of God. It is time the Christian church once again teaches a proper understanding of the heart so that we can fully embrace and manifest the life of Christ within us.

Download or read book If We Follow Jesus He Will Lead Us Out of Christianity and Into Messianic Judaism written by Donald Werner and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2020-02-03 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning around the 4th Century, the Christian church accelerated its downhill slide into apostasy. Today the Christian church is nothing at all what we read about in the Book of Acts, and that is because it has set aside Jesus' teachings to follow the teachings of Paul. Jesus' teachings and Paul's teaching are polar opposites and cannot be reconciled, regardless of how hard the church tries to gloss over the differences. Today's Christian Church bases it doctrines on Paul's writings to the exclusion of Jesus' words. And because they have set Jesus' words aside, they have reject God's Torah law which Jesus told us to keep, and that leads to many other problems. And as a result, today the Christian church is divided into hundreds of sects and it is confused and weak. Christians following those corrupt doctrines are lawless, which means God does not answer their prayers (Proverbs 28:9) and they worship in vain (Mark 7:7-9). Read this book to learn much more, and what we must do to be among the redeemed.

Download or read book In Search of the Triune God written by Eugene Webb and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2014-03-11 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the broad umbrella of the Christian religion, there exists a great divide between two fundamentally different ways of thinking about key aspects of the Christian faith. Eugene Webb explores the sources of that divide, looking at how the Eastern and Western Christian worlds drifted apart due both to the different ways they interpreted their symbols and to the different roles political power played in their histories. Previous studies have focused on historical events or on the history of theological ideas. In Search of the Triune God delves deeper by exploring how the Christian East and the Christian West have conceived the relation between symbol and experience. Webb demonstrates that whereas for Western Christianity discussion of the doctrine of the Trinity has tended toward speculation about the internal structure of the Godhead, in the Eastern tradition the symbolism of the Triune God has always been closely connected to religious experience. In their approaches to theology, Western Christianity has tended toward a speculative theology, and Eastern Christianity toward a mystical theology. This difference of focus has led to a large range of fundamental differences in many areas not only of theology but also of religious life. Webb traces the history of the pertinent symbols (God as Father, Son of God, Spirit of God, Messiah, King, etc.) from the Hebrew Bible and New Testament through patristic thinkers and the councils that eventually defined orthodoxy. In addition, he shows how the symbols, interpreted through the different cultural lenses of the East and the West, gradually took on meanings that became the material of very different worldviews, especially as the respective histories of the Eastern and Western Christian worlds led them into different kinds of entanglement with ambition and power. Through this incisive exploration, Webb offers a dramatic and provocative new picture of the history of Christianity.
Download or read book Urban Legends of Church History written by John Adair and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban Legends of Church History surveys forty of the most commonly misunderstood events of church history from the period of the early church through the modern age. While these “urban legends” sometimes arise out of falsehood or fabrication, they are often the product of an exaggerated recounting of actual historical events. With a pastoral tone and helpful explanations, authors John Adair and Michael Svigel tackle legendary misconceptions, such as the early church worshiping on Saturday and the unbroken chain of apostolic succession. Urban Legends of Church History will correct misunderstandings of key events in church history and guide readers in applying principles that have characterized the Christian church since the first century.
Download or read book Are You Following Jesus Or the Church written by Donald Werner and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are You Following Jesus or the Church? There is a difference between what Jesus taught and what the Church is teaching. The Church tells us that we are free from the Law, Jesus told us to keep the law. The church tells us that we must worship the Trinity, Jesus told us to worship Yahoveh alone. The church has decided to create its doctrines based on Paul's letters to the exclusion of Jesus' words. The church claims it loves Jesus, but it ignores much of what Jesus said, especially in regards to the keeping of God's law and worship Yahoveh alone. These differences are irreconcilable How do we solve these differences? We don't. We must simply look at the facts and choose for ourselves. We must choose to follow Jesus' teachings or choose to follow the Church's teachings. And if we choose to follow Jesus' teachings we will separate ourselves from Christianity. But the reward makes it well worth the cost. Read this book and you will see that we don't have a choice if we want to gain eternal life.
