Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At Harvard Divinity School in late October 1997, Andrew delivered this flawless teaching on the nature of wanting, the endless craving for material things, and its relationship to the spiritual life. The talk carefully describes the relationship between our most fundamental desire to have and possess for ourselves, the compelling excitement these desires elicit in us, and the enormous potential for suffering and confusion they engender when left unexamined in our lives. Andrew's words echo and renew timeless teachings on the causes of human suffering and the end of that suffering. The distinctions he makes are vital to any sincere inquiry into the core of human nature and the goal of spiritual attainment. From this vast perspective this deeply confusing subject can actually be seen with a clarity that has the power to liberate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Perfecting of the Promise: A Sermon But that is but one - half of this academic continuity. If the past sup ports the present, so the present must justify the past. All these achieves ments and sacrifices which adorn academic history become fruitless unless they issue into a more substantial and serviceable life. The duty of each newly matriculated student carries into it the prophecy and destiny of the whole organic life. These all receive not the promise, God having pro vided better things for us that they without us should not be made per feet. A few years ago, when my University was celebrating the two hun dred and fiftieth anniversary of its foundation, a procession of undergrad nates marched through the streets bearing many flags, and finally came the freshman class, which had been admitted but a month ago, carrying a banner with what seemed a most audacious and amusing inscription: The University, it read, has been waiting two hundred and fifty years for us. And yet, in a profound and searching sense, that boy ish boast was true. This was precisely what the long history of the University had produced. For these the privations of primitive colo nists in the wilderness were endured, for these the faith and prayers of many generations had been offered. \vit11011_t these happy, jesting. Delightful boys the whole great evolution of the University had been in vain. The whole creation, as Paul said of the world, had waited for the manifestations of these last sons of God.

Download or read book The Promise of the Father written by Phoebe Palmer and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-09-23 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Phoebe Palmer's Promise of the Father (1859) is a massive defense of women's right to preach. She attributes the long-standing prohibitions against women taking an active role in the leadership of the church to two things: bad exegesis and a distorted and un-Christian view most men had of the opposite sex. She concludes that women, acting in their legitimate sphere, were more likely than men to exhibit true piety. Based on the promise of Joel 2:28, restated by Peter at Pentecost in Acts 2:17-18, Phoebe takes God at his Word. In the 'latter days' the Holy Spirit will be given to women as well as to men, and both will be expected to pray, prophesy, and preach. No one can study the holiness movement in the middle of the last century without dealing with this important book, so long out of print " --Kenneth E. Rowe, Drew University, Madison, NJ Phoebe Palmer (1807-74) was an evangelist and writer who promoted the doctrine of Christian perfection. She is considered one of the founders of the Holiness movement in the United States and the Higher Life movement in the United Kingdom.

Download or read book Be Perfect written by Andrew Murray and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrew Murray (9 May 1828 - 18 January 1917) was a South African writer, teacher and Christian pastor. Murray considered missions to be "the chief end of the church". Murray pastored churches in Bloemfontein, Worcester, Cape Town and Wellington, all in South Africa. He was a champion of the South African Revival of 1860. In 1889, he was one of the founders of the South African General Mission (SAGM), along with Martha Osborn and Spencer Walton. After Martha Osborn married George Howe, they formed the South East Africa General Mission (SEAGM) in 1891. SAGM and SEAGM merged in 1894. Because its ministry had spread into other African countries, the mission's name was changed to Africa Evangelical Fellowship (AEF) in 1965. AEF joined with Serving In Mission (SIM) in 1998 and continues to this day. Through his writings, Murray was also a key Higher Life or Keswick leader, and his theology of faith healing and belief in the continuation of the apostolic gifts made him a significant forerunner of the Pentecostal movement.

Over ten weeks of study, participants will see Christ as the agent of creation, the offspring who will crush the head of the serpent, the ark of salvation, the source of the righteousness credited to Abraham, the substitutionary sacrifice provided by God, the Savior to whom the whole world must come for life, and much more. Each weekly lesson includes questions for personal study, a contemporary teaching chapter that emphasizes how the passage fits into the bigger story of redemptive history, a brief section on how the passage uniquely points to what is yet to come at the consummation of Christ's kingdom, and a leader's guide for group discussion.

Download or read book Hoping for Happiness written by Barnabas Piper and published by The Good Book Company. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone wants to be happy, and we all pursue happiness in different ways. Some people are thrill-seekers; others are homebodies. Some people are loners; others love big families or communities. Some people express things creatively; others consume what is created. Some sing; others listen to music. Whatever we find happiness in, we are united by our desire for work that matters and relationships that fulfil. As Christians, we often fall into the trap of basing our hopes on earthly things, even when we know they only make us happy for a short time. But how are we to experience happiness in this life? How do we avoid expecting too much of earthly things and being disappointed, or expecting too little and becoming cynics? In this book, recovering cynic Barnabas Piper helps us to throw off both the unrealistic expectations that end in disappointment and the guilty sense that Christians are not meant to have fun. He shows how having a clear view of the reality of the fall and the promise of redemption frees us to live a life that's grounded, hopeful and genuinely happy.
