Book excerpt: When you received Jesus Christ as your Saviour, you made the most important decision of your life. The Next Step will help you be more effective in your Christian walk. Not meant to take the place of your Bible, it will teach you basic steps to a strong and healthy Christian life. It's an excellent discipleship tool to give to those you lead to the Lord. Chapters include: 1. Birth Of The Bible How the Scriptures came to be, and how Satan has attacked them for almost 1,500 years. 2. Don't Read That Book You won't last long without food, and neither will any Christian last long without the Word of God. This Bible reading program will give you a balanced diet of spiritual food, every day of your life. But it will cost you something! 3. Prayer Do you want to get RESULTS when you pray? Here are the keys to effective prayer, and how to deal with the things Satan uses to stop you. 4. Love Some people are hard to love. Yet for some people, real love is the only way to reach them. 5. The Enemy Every Christian has a mortal enemy. His goal? He wants you dead and in hell. Learn some of his many faces, and how he attacks Christians. He hates us all, because he knows that there is a day coming, when he will be cast into hell. 6. Pitfalls Be careful! Things that can destroy your Christian testimony can be small, or unexpected. 7. Called Out Being a Christian doesn't mean you're better than everyone else. It means you're forgiven. But you can't be the same as everyone else, either. God wants you to live in a way that is different, so you can have the same result as the Christian in this chapter. 8. Warn Them Everyone who hasn't accepted Christ is on his way to hell, just like you were. Now that you have forgiveness, it's up to you warn your friends. If witnessing chokes you up, or you don't think you know enough of the Bible yet, here is a simple plan to help you be a real witness. You can't save anyone ... but Jesus will! Here's an easy way to tell them.

Book excerpt: The Next Step in Religion: An Essay toward the Coming Renaissance is a classic religious essay by Roy Wood Sellars that examines christianity and humanism includes the following excerpt: More than people are consciously aware, a new view of the universe and of man's place in it is forming. It is forming in the laboratories of scientists, the studies of thinkers, the congresses of social workers, the assemblies of reformers, the studios of artists and, even more quietly, in the circles of many homes. This new view is growing beneath the old as a bud grows beneath its covering, and is slowly pushing it aside.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these times of dramatic social change, when the highly charged issue of homosexuality is undeniably causing controversy in many arenas--religion, marriage, politics, education, the military--Christian de la Huerta, founder and director of Q-Spirit, offers a fresh outlook on gay spirituality and how to assert it.A spiritual awakening is occurring in the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered community, as in much of the world. In this encompassing guidebook, de la Huerta looks at Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Taoism, Sufism, New Thought, New Age, and Earth-based religions, including Native American. Cogently investigating these traditions' attitudes, teachings, and policies toward homosexuality, the author gives the queer reader a foundation from which to begin building a spiritual connection. Coming Out Spiritually also synthesizes ten spiritual roles or archetypes people we now call gay or queer have often assumed and continue to enact today: creators of beauty, consciousness scouts, mediators, shamans, and healers, among others. Drawing on these models while acting as a guide to the queer community, the author shows how to look deeper inside; to reach higher than ever before; to step forth more fully into a rightful self. An impassioned call to action, Coming Out Spiritually alternatively touches, challenges, encourages, and supports the queer community to fully reclaim its spiritual heritage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Next Step in Religion: An Essay Towards the Coming Renaissance I have called the book The Next Step in Religion because the time is ripe for one of the great steps for ward. The setting of religion must be adjusted to man's knowledge. Let it not be feared that man's spiritual life will be injured thereby. Rather will it be made saner, healthier and more creative. The first phase of religion reflected man's helpless ness and fear. He peopled his surroundings with con scious powers, sometimes adverse, sometimes friendly.

Book excerpt: "Is significant as indicating the need the modern thinker feels of coming to some understanding with religion....The book is an example of radicalism at its best. While the author never fails to state his opinion fully and frankly, he always does this with the least possible offense to those who differ from him. Dr. Sellars is not among those half-way thinkers who believe that liberal religion has already done its work, has indicated all the readjustments that need to be made, and so has nothing left to do except to sit down and let orthodoxy overtake it. Instead, he believes that important changes are yet to be made, that 'the perspective, intention, and elements of religion are about to alter.' 'Humanity hugs illusion more fondly than it does truth because it is more familiar with it.' It we only have spiritual courage we can all have a part in 'the high adventure of separating moral truth from theological illusion.'" -Christian Register "The benefit of the book is that of a cold plunge. It may be recommended strongly to those who are strong enough to get the glow of a wholesome reaction. To such the great stimulus of the work is in deepening the conviction that Christianity must demonstrate in the lives of its adherents that, here and now more than any other religion (using the word in its secondary as well as its primary sense) it makes for human values - intellectual, moral, aesthetic, etc. If it does not and cannot then it is doomed to be superseded and ought to be." -The Biblical World "'The center of gravity of religion has been openly changing for some time now from supernaturalism to what may best be called humanistic naturalism.' Dr. Sellars traces, in a flowing conciliatory style, the past and present of this process: finds the origins of supernaturalism in the impotence of primitive man - nature being worshiped where she cannot be controlled; and attributes the decay of supernaturalism to the development of man's knowledge and power. Nature is like any other feminine - not worshiped once she has been known. Along with this theological debacle has gone a domestication of ideals: Heaven has become Utopia, to be sought no longer by prayers to God but by telegrams to the President. Religion is to mean devotion to goodness, beauty, truth; 'selfish luxury will be scorned, property subordinated to welfare, economic fear lessened to the utmost, knowledge unenviously exalted, and art called into service.' This capacity of man to feel devotion is the noble element in the beast; for nourishing it religion may some day have her crimes forgotten. Morality alone - the restriction of self-seeking within social bounds - will not suffice; it must be touched with devotion. Religion is morality on fire; 'loyalty to the values of life.'" -The Dial "An able and well written book." -The Nation "Such a volume is stimulating - it shows how many of our cherished convictions and 'truths' are but guesses and idle words. And since we need such restatements it is well that they should be furnished by those who have such a large faith in the future." -Homiletic Review CONTENTS I SUGGESTIONS II THE AGE OF MYTH III STORIES OF CREATION IV MAGIC AND RITUAL V THE ORIGINS OF CHRISTIANITY VI THE PROPHET OF NAZARETH VII THE EVOLUTION OF CHRISTIANITY VIII THE CONFLICT BETWEEN SCIENCE AND THEOLOGY IX THE LIMITS OF PERSONAL AGENCY X DO MIRACLES HAPPEN?

Download or read book Delight written by Justin Rossow and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You bring God joy.And God intends the feeling to be mutual. This book will help you lean into Joyful Delight, Thoughtful Delight, Playful Delight, Delicious Delight, and Desirable Delight in your life with God. Delight! invites you into a real, accessible, and down-to-earth way of experiencing the adventure of following Jesus. Of course you will know struggle and failure. Of course you will know grief and shame. But you don't have to carry the burden of getting your faith walk right; you already make Jesus jump for joy and sing his happy song. The Creator of the Universe thinks you're something special. Even when life is confusing or difficult, the Spirit is shaping you with care and delight. Are you tired of religion? Are you beat down by anxiety or doubt? Do you long for something more in your life of faith? Let go of your burden. Take a deep breath. And let's explore what it means to follow Jesus on the adventure of your life-an adventure marked by challenge and repentance and difficulty, but marked most fundamentally by mutual delight! The LORD will take great delight in you; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing. (Zephaniah 3:17) "These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full." (John 15:11) From the Book "Following Jesus isn't supposed to weigh you down; it's supposed to make you dance. Following Jesus isn't supposed to limit your fun; it's supposed to open you up to freedom you have never known before. Following Jesus isn't a burden to carry, even when you carry your cross; to follow Jesus is certainly to know suffering and trouble and dying to self and struggling with doubt, but fundamentally-fundamentally!-following Jesus is about delight. Jesus delights in you; and Jesus loves it when you feel the same about him. That's what following Jesus is all about." What People Are Saying In Delight!, Justin Rossow widens our lens for understanding grace as he explores the delight God has in us and the delight God gives to us. The impact will ripple into every area of your spiritual walk. Delight! brings both lightness and depth to the Scriptures and to our relationships with our Great God. HEIDI GOEHMANN, author of Altogether Beautiful: A Study of the Song of Songs Have we lost our sense of delight? Today delight seems to be reduced to each person's version of personal happiness. Or delight is simply missed altogether because we are too busy and anxious to notice it. In a deeply reflective and devotional way, Rossow puts delight back on the agenda of the theology of the Christian life. Taking us on a biblical journey of discovery around God's vision of delight for us, he invites us to receive this gift, revel in it, and, yes, delight in it! LEOPOLDO A. SANCHEZ M., author of Sculptor Spirit: Models of Sanctification from Spirit Christology I have spent a great deal of my life believing in my head that Jesus loved me, yet living practically as if I were always on the verge of being in big trouble. This book offers a refreshing, biblical vision of how to live a life captivated and covered by the love of God. Even more astonishing is the discovery of a God who is full of delight. JAMIE WIECHMAN, cofounder of Breathe Life Ministries

Download or read book Crazy Faith written by Michael Todd and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Relationship Goals . . . Will you be remembered as a person who claimed to follow God but liked to play it safe? Or as a person who lived your life out on the limb and trusted God enough to live in crazy faith? Noah looked crazy when he started building the ark . . . until it started raining. It was crazy for Moses to lead a nation of people into the desert away from Egypt . . . until the Red Sea parted. It was crazy to believe that a fourteen-year-old virgin would give birth to the Son of God . . . until Mary held Jesus in her arms. There are many things that seem normal or average today that at one point in time seemed absolutely crazy. Smartphones, Wi-Fi, and even the electric light bulb were all groundbreaking, history-making inventions that started out as crazy ideas. Our see-it-to-believe-it generation tends to have a hard time exercising true faith—one that steps out, takes action, and sees mountain-moving results. Many of us would rather play it safe and stand on the sidelines, but it’s crazy faith that helps us see God move and reveals His promises. In Crazy Faith, Pastor Michael Todd shows us how to step out in faith and dive into the purposeful life of trusting God for the impossible. Even if you have to start with baby faith or maybe faith, you can become empowered to let go of your lazy faith, trust God through your hazy faith, and learn to live a lifestyle of crazy faith. With powerful stories of modern-day faith warriors who take their cues from biblical heroes, Michael Todd equips you to • believe for the impossible • choose hope over fear • be alert to the voice of God • cope with loss and doubt • develop a deeper level of trust in God • speak faith-filled declarations • inspire crazy faith in others God’s not looking for somebody to give Him all the reasons why His plans can’t happen. He’s looking for somebody to believe they will happen. In fact, He has so much He wants to do through you. The question is, Are you crazy enough to believe it?

Book excerpt: "I can't imagine a college student—skeptic, doubter, Christian, struggler—who wouldn't benefit from this book." —Kevin DeYoung For many young adults, the college years are an exciting period of selfdiscovery full of new relationships, new independence, and new experiences. Yet college can also be a time of personal testing and intense questioning— especially for Christian students confronted with various challenges to Christianity and the Bible for the first time. Drawing on years of experience as a biblical scholar, Michael Kruger addresses common objections to the Christian faith—the exclusivity of Christianity, Christian intolerance, homosexuality, hell, the problem of evil, science, miracles, and the reliability of the Bible. If you're a student dealing with doubt or wrestling with objections to Christianity from fellow students and professors alike, this book will equip you to engage secular challenges with intellectual honesty, compassion, and confidence—and ultimately graduate college with your faith intact.
