Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two thousand years ago, a great light dawned in the spiritual history of humankind. His name was Jesus Christ. In Him, God assumed human form and made His presence known amongst us. By dying on a cross, Christ freed us fro the shackles of sin and death and restored union between heaven and earth. In doing so, He inherited a kingdom that is not of this world. As God's new spiritual temple, we body this reality. We are His prophets, priests, and kings. New Creation Spirituality is a groundbreaking new work on Christian faith from the author of The Mind of Christ: Christian Identity in the New Creation. By shedding fresh light on humanity's spiritual anointing, New Creation Spirituality offers a bold vision for belief that is at once modern, culturally engaging, and grounded in the timeless truths of Scripture. The mission of Jesus Christ is to destroy all darkness, sin, and death. By understanding our kingdom roles as prophets, priests, and kings, we become equipped and empowered to accomplish this mission alongside Him. As we partner with the ascended Christ, the glory of God and the fullness of His kingdom are manifest on earth.

Download or read book You Shall Worship One God written by Rev. Fr. Marie-Dominique Philippe and published by TAN Books. This book was released on 2010-08-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is by means of worship that man recognizes his absolute dependence upon God, comes into His presence, and gains practical knowledge of His goodness and sovereign majesty. Father Marie-Dominique Philippe, founder of the Congregation of St. John and one of the twentieth century's most profound theological and pastoral minds, takes us back to the First Commandment, back to the primacy of worship, in You Shall Worship One God. For only by recognizing the singular importance of worship, of making ourselves an offering of love before God, can we hope to fulfill the other commandments and develop a deep and lasting spiritual life. Divine revelation, says Father Philippe, presents true worship to us in the form of sacrifice. The Old Testament stories in which goods and lives are offered to God, and the holocausts and oblations of the Jewish Temple, train God's people to express their love and fidelity and penitence through sacrifice. In so doing they also prefigure and prepare us for the Passion of Our Lord on Calvary, the perfect and lasting sacrifice that completes and gives meaning to all the others. Christ's offering of Himself is at root a sacrifice of filial worship, glorifying the Father in the truest way possible and thereby effecting the greatest spiritual fruits. You Shall Worship One God is a fascinating study of the development of sacrificial worship throughout salvation history, a rich meditation on the mystery of the Cross, and a necessary reminder to our busy world that the heart of Christianity is found not in service to our fellow man, but in recognizing the Lord's supreme majesty before all. Such worship is essential to salvation, says Father Philippe, for it makes us die to ourselves in order to proclaim that God is first.
Download or read book Praying Together written by Megan Hill and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly all Christians would affirm the centrality of prayer for a healthy Christian life. And yet, for many, prayer is often a challenge, requiring intense personal commitment and self-discipline. However, as Megan Hill points out in Praying Together, our normal approach to prayer leaves out a crucial component: other people. While personal prayer is important, God designed the church to be a community of believers who regularly pray together. Exploring the Bible's rich teaching on what it means to gather at God's throne with one voice, Hill lays a theological foundation for corporate prayer and offers practical guidance for making it a reality—in our families, churches, and communities.
Download or read book Bearing Fruit written by Robby Gallaty and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are so many Christians stagnant in their faith? Why do we often live as though the gospel stops at the moment of conversion? The good news of Jesus doesn’t stop the moment we get saved. In fact, salvation is only the beginning of God’s work in our lives. We often view salvation as the ending point; it’s really the beginning point. The gospel of Jesus doesn’t only justify us; it sanctifies us. When we receive the Holy Spirit at salvation, an incredible work begins to happen in us: we begin to bear fruit. When we are firmly planted in the gospel and committed to growing in Christ, He produces in us the fruits of the Spirit, the marks of a true Christian. In Bearing Fruit, Robby Gallaty walks us through the life of the Christian. Biblical, intentional, and practical, Bearing Fruit points our hearts to the gracious God who called us, justified us, and is now sanctifying us by the work of his Holy Spirit.
