This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Program of the Christian Religion The Church never faced greater opportunities for service than those by which she is confronted today. The world struggle which has been going on for more than three years has shaken men loose from the conventional bonds by which in normal times they are held in restraint and launched them on a sea of adventurous radicalism such as has almost no parallel in human history. Everything now is in a state of flux. Nothing is regarded as fixed beyond question. Out of this chaos a new world will have to be made after the grim conflict is over. What kind of a world it is to be will depend largely upon the Christian forces of the various countries In volved in it. If these forces fail to show themselves equal to the occasion, there may follow a long period of con fusion and uncertainty. If they prove themselves equal to the test which the opportunity will bring to them, they may succeed in reorganizing society upon a more broadly democratic and Christian basis and so inaugurate an era of brotherhood and cooperation in which the world will find rich compensation for all the agony of the grim and horrible struggle.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christianity of Christ But, alas, the roots of the tree penetrated to the fountain, and the whole was tainted, and now the spring is neglected and its waters forsaken. So men have often spoiled the truth as it is in Jesus by attempting to improve it. Instead of accepting it as it is in all its native plainness, undoctored and un alloyed, they have sought to subtract from it here and add to it there, and thus have either robbed it of its strength and glory, or turned thirsty souls from it altogether.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Doctrine of God That the kingdom of God or of heaven proclaimed by Jesus is a fellowship of men, appears not only from the natural import of the word kingdom, but from such expressions as, least in the kingdom, great in the kingdom (matt. V. 19, xviii. Of such is the kingdom, he shall in no wise enter therein (mark x. I4, I etc. That in it the highest morality is obeyed, is clear from the Sermon on the Mount (matt. V. - vii. Luke Vi. 20 - 42) and the whole tenor of our Lord's teaching; and that it is done as the will of God, appears from the phrase kingdom, which often means reign, of its being joined in the Lord's Prayer with the doing of His will (matt. Vi. And from the many parables in which God is represented as a King, a Master, a Householder, a Shepherd, a Father, a Judge (matt. Xx. 1, xxii. 2, XXV.

Download or read book The Work of Christ Classic Reprint written by Peter Taylor Forsyth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Work of Christ To avoid repetition. My hope is to be Of some use to those ministers who are still at a stage when they are seeking more footing on such matters than they have been provided with in mere Biblical or Historical Theology. There is no region where religion becomes so quickly theology as in dealing with the work Of Christ. No doctrine takes us so straight to the heart Of things, or so forces on us a discussion of the merits of the case, the dog matic of it, as distinct from its scriptural or its ecclesiastical career. NO doctrine draws so directly on the personal religion Of sinful men, and none, therefore, is Open to so much change in the course Of the Church's thought upon its growing faith and life. Thus when we consider that here we are at once where the form may change most in time and yet the feet be most firmly set for eternity, we realise how difficult and delicate our task must be. And we are made to feel as if the due book on such a theme could only be written from behind the veil with the most precious blood that ever flowed in human veins.

This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Days of Christianity, Vol. 1 I complete in these volumes the work which has absorbed such leisure as could be spared from many and onerous duties during the last twelve years. My object has been to furnish English readers with a companion, partly historic and partly expository, to the whole of the New Testament. By attention to the minutest details of the original, by availing myself to the best of my power of the results of modern criticism, by trying to concentrate upon the writings of the Apostles and Evangelists such light as may be derived from Jewish, Pagan, or Christian sources, I have endeavoured to fulfil my ordination vow and to show diligence in such studies as help to the knowledge of the Holy Scriptures. The Life of Christ was intended mainly as a commentary upon the Gospels. It was written in such a form as should reproduce whatever I had been able to learn from the close examination of every word which they contain, and should at the same time set forth the living reality of the scenes recorded. In the Life of St. Paul I wished to incorporate the details of the Acts of the Apostles with such biographical incidents as can be derived from the Epistles of St. Paul; and to take.

Download or read book Verily Verily written by George Bowen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Verily, Verily: The Amens of Christ Proceeding with his illustrations, Jesus shows that the law is tending to fulfilment when an inferior or temporary expression of the Divine will is replaced by a higher expression of it. The injunction to give a writing of divorcement was subordinate to the higher law that forbade the putting away of the wife; and by parity of reason all that was temporary and special in the command ments given to the Israelites had to be superseded by that higher expression of the will of God which Christ came to give. The Jews who flattered themselves that they were righteous because they had not forsworn themselves, were to learn that the use of oaths was itself Offensive to God. A Divine interpreter of the law is come among them, and he shows them that they have constantly misapprehended its scope. The Sermon on the Mount is an inspired commentary on the law, revealing its length and breadth, and showing that nothing less than [absolute perfection is required of those who would be called the children of God. Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father. Who is in heaven is perfect. At a later period we find our Lord varying the words of our text thus: Heaven and earth may pass away; my words shall not pass away. The law passes over into the words of Christ these are the final and complete expression of the Father's will, the new version of the Divine code. The law thus embodied is an essential part of the Gospel. It is only as we know the will of God that we know God; his character expresses itself in his requirements; and if any man turns his back on the law, or gives it the cold shoulder, he is so far turned away from God. A thing this to be considered by many who seem to have little solicitude for the doing of God's will, many to whom the commandments are grievous, and whose Bible is limited to the promises. I never knew you is what the Judge' will say to them; had they known him he would have acknowledged them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church and Society It must be confessed that the policy is not without danger of abuse, but what ideal is there which may not be misrepresented by exaggeration and intemperance? Yet with government so sadly in need of the assistance that the Church might render, her refusal to recognize any rela tion to it seems to alienate her from the people Whose rational aspirations she should heartily share. The peculiar policy of the Men and Religion Movement, and one which differentiates it from the customary revival, is that it aims to leave behind it a Christianity organized. For social as well as personal religion. It presents a definite program for all who believe that making a com munity healthier, purer, more intelligent and law abiding is Christian service.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Is Christianity Christian? Is Christianity Christian? Was written thir teen years ago and published in The Buckeye News a weekly paper of Nelsonville, Ohio. I thought when I was writing it that it would be received with favor, but it created a storm instead that I could not face. As will appear, on examination, it was writ ten, in part, to show that the tendency of the times away from the teachings of Jesus Christ would result in just such a war as has been devastating the earth. I was laughed at for this prediction and ridiculed by people of thought and under standing, who insisted that we were entering upon an era of universal peace. My prediction no doubt did seem preposterous to most people at that time. But the war is on and whether my reasoning as to the cause of it is accepted or not, the fact that it has come cannot be disputed. It is no more destructive than I foresaw and said that it would be. It did not need a great deal of perspicacity for one who had proved the religion of Christ to see that the way men and nations were trampling on one another's rights must end in a world wide conflict. It was the logical thing to expect. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Graded Bible Stories There is a demand rapidly taking form and expression for a new modern program of Christian nurture. The de mand arises from those who confess to more or less defeat and failure in trying to get results by following the old program. They are aware of their failure, which is not the case with all. They are forced to admit that new conditions, customs and ideals, have made the old program ineffective and impracticable. The home, the school, and the church once dealt with the problem of Christian nurture, but now they do not. The present function of the church school scarcely needs to be named as an exception, for there are not many schools which really deal with this problem; and there are fewer still which succeed with it. The working out of the problem of Christian nurture has no doubt been greatly retarded by insistent demands for standardization and uniformity. Too often those who have set up the standards have not apprehended the problem. Great labor, expenditure and organization have been conspicuously in evidence, Without producing the results of a true Christian nurture. Not only so, they have stood in the way and pre vented other attempts to solve the problem. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oneness: The Christian Church Again, it is said that the human race, though one, is divided into numerous families; and hence it is inferred that the division of the Church into sects is proper and necessary. But the subjects are so dissimilar that it is illogical to reason from the one to the other. The object of the family relation is to perpetuate the race; the object of Christianity is to save it. Division in the first case is the source of strength; but the history of the Church shows that in the other it is an ele ment of weakness. Division in the one case is indispensable, but it is a mere assumption to hold that it is so in the other. There is no analogy between the illustration and the subject to be illustrated. It therefore proves nothing. The inquirer is misled by an imaginary resemblance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
