Download or read book Sacred Pace written by Terry Looper and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we hear from God and discern His will when it’s time to make big decisions? Terry Looper shares a four-step process for doing just that - a process he has learned and refined over thirty years as a Christian entrepreneur and founder of a multi-billion dollar company. At just thirty-six years old, Terry Looper was a successful Christian businessman who thought he had it all—until managing all he had led to a devastating burnout. Wealthy beyond his wildest dreams but miserable beyond belief, Terry experienced a radical transformation when he discovered how to align himself with God’s will in the years following his crash and burn. Sacred Pace is a four-step process that helps Christians in all walks of life learn how to slow down their decision-making under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, sift through their surface desires and sinful patterns in order to receive clear, peace-filled answers from the Lord, gain the confident assurance that God’s answers are His way of fulfilling the true desires he has placed in their hearts, and grow closer to the One who loves them most and knows them best. Sacred Pace is not another example of name-it-and-claim-it materialism in disguise. Instead, it walks Christians through the sometimes-painful process of “dying to self” in their decisions, both big and small, so that they desire God’s will more than their own.

Download or read book Empowering Spirit Empowering Structures written by Stephen Charles McKnight and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-08-03 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noel Perkin, a banker-turned-missionary, led Assemblies of God World Missions (AGWM) for more than thirty years (1927–59). His life exemplifies the missionary zeal historians have noted within the early Pentecostal movement. Perkin’s experience of the Holy Spirit and his experiences as a missionary in Argentina led him to create systems intended to empower others to fulfill Christ’s commission to make disciples of all nations. Perkin’s empowering leadership played a significant part in AGWM’s remarkable growth into a leading Pentecostal mission-sending agency which currently sends over 2,000 missionaries to 140 countries. As one of the principal architects of AGWM’s missiology and operation, Perkin transformed a two-person office relying on envelope boxes for its accounting system into a well-structured, strategic mission agency and laid a foundation for AGWM’s continued growth. Empowering Spirit, Empowering Structures uses the foundation of a biographical study to examine the concept of empowerment through Perkin’s life and the impact that Perkin and his missiology had and continues to have upon AGWM.

Download or read book Searching for the Holy Spirit written by Anne Claar Thomasson-Rosingh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-08 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the doctrine of the Holy Spirit in Christian theology good news or bad news for women? Is the Holy Spirit in traditional Christian doctrine the guardian of the status quo or does it offer the dynamic possibility for change? How do the gifts of the Spirit, ecstatic and relational, inform feminist thinking of the Christian God. Opinions on these key questions vary wildly but are often formulated without coherent theological argument. Feminist theology has a history of questioning God the Father and God the Son - this study begins the theological questioning of God the Holy Spirit. Searching for the Holy Spirit brings feminist pneumatology into discussion with more traditional doctrine of the Spirit, notably the very significant early Christian treatise by Basil of Caesarea, De Spiritu Sancto. The results offer exciting new possibilities for both theology and the place of women in the church.

Download or read book God s Beauty in Act written by Stephen M. Garrett and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-07-24 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jurgen Moltmann and others contend that Christian theology and the church face a dual crisis--one of relevance and the other of identity. Despite making this pronouncement nearly forty years ago, the church in the West continues to struggle with this crisis. Several proposals have been espoused, from the way of wisdom to the way of ecclesial praxis. Yet, little attention is given in Protestant theological discourse to the role God's beauty plays in bringing theology and ethics together. By neglecting God's beauty for theological discourse, we risk diminishing Christian worship, witness, and wisdom. God's Beauty-in-Act addresses these issues, in part, by arguing that the redemptive-creative suffering and glorious resurrection of Christ are the nexus of God's being, beauty, and Christian living. God's beauty, understood as the fittingness of the incarnate Son's actions in the Spirit to the Father's will, radiates God's glory and draws perceivers into the dramatic movements of God's triune life. These movements serve as the patterns that shape the imagination, enabling participants to perform their parts creatively and fittingly in God's drama of redemption. In doing so, human beings flourish as they jettison false identities and realities of their own making that are incommensurate with God's purpose found in Christ by the Spirit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Holy Spirit 101: Understanding the Seven Spirits of God This book provides a clear and concise picture of who the Holy Spirit is, His purpose, and His plan concerning how He interacts with the believer. In the Bible, the number 7 is often used to convey the idea of completion. The Word of God declares that the God we serve is a Spirit. The Scriptures reveal that there are seven Spirits or attributes of God which clearly define who He desires to be in the life of every true believer. Additionally the Bible provides proof that our Creator wants all seven Spirits or attributes to actively operate in our lives to ensure that we are fully empowered to overcome every temptation and obstacle that the enemy may throw our way. Our Creator desires for us to mature into the people that we were created to become. Journey with me as we learn more about the seven Spirits of God and how to incorporate them effectively into our daily lives.
