Download or read book Church in Hard Places written by Mez McConnell and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2016-01-14 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus came to seek and to save the lost, paying particular attention to the downtrodden and the poor. As followers of Jesus, Christians are called to imitate his example and reach out to those who have the least. This book offers biblical guidelines and practical strategies for reaching those on the margins of our society with the gospel of Jesus Christ. The authors—both pastors with years of experience ministering among the poor—set forth helpful “dos” and “don’ts” related to serving in the midst of less-affluent communities. Emphasizing the priority of the gospel as well as the importance of addressing issues of social justice, this volume will help pastors and other church leaders mobilize their people to plant churches and make an impact in “hard places”—in their own communities and around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Charity, kindness and neighbourliness were central parts of Christian life in late medieval and early modern Europe. Despite the theological and social upheavals of the Reformation, the practice and necessity of giving remained widespread. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, civil magistrates developed complex systems to distribute alms to paupers aimed at separating the deserving poor from the feckless, idle or otherwise undeserving among them. Pulpits across Europe echoed with the same message: give generously and support pious causes. The appeals worked: centralised systems of charity distributed significant amounts of money across the period reflected in the increasingly complex accounts that they left behind. Away from the institutional perspective, however, we know little about domestic forms of charity or where they sat in relation to these newly- developed poor relief structures"--

Download or read book Dictionary of Scottish Church History Theology written by Nigel M. de S. Cameron and published by Continuum. This book was released on 1993 with total page 906 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do animals have rights? If not, do we have duties towards them? If so, what duties? These and a myriad of other issues are discussed in the brilliantly argued Animal Rights and Wrongs. Issues discussed include- - Why are animal-rights groups so keen to protect the rights of rabbits and foxes but not of rats or mice or even humans? - How can we bridge the growing gap between rural producers and urban consumers? -Why is raising animals for fur more heinous than raising them for their meat? -Are we as human beings driving other species either to extinction or to a state of dependency? Animal Rights and Wrongs includes chapters on the livestock crisis, fishing, BSE and a layman's introduction to philosophical concepts. The book presents a radical response to the defenders of animal rights, and a challenge to those who think that because they are kind to their pets, they are therefore good news for animals.
