Are you stuck in a place where your mind and heart are full of betrayal, grief, loss, or hopeless existence? Consider the areas of your life that could be transformed by an attitude of celebration, and make a determined choice to celebrate at every opportunity.

Download or read book Coming Soon written by Michael Barber and published by Emmaus Road Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there a book of the Bible more often discussed and yet less understood than the Book of Revelation? The "seven seals." The "dragon." The "beast." The "sea of glass." The fantastic imagery found in the Book of Revelation has long captivated Christians but remains mysterious to many. In the midst of so much discussion about the end times, what does Revelation teach us about living in the present moment, with our eyes focused on the heavenly Jerusalem? Michael Barber's Coming Soon explores these questions by taking a detailed look at Revelation and its rich tapestry of prophecy, history, and biblical allusion. Barber explores the profound link between the Mass celebrated here on earth and the eternal reality of heaven, demonstrating that the Apocalypse reveals truth that has practical implications for today and points to a firm hope in tomorrow. Coming Soon is a verse-by-verse commentary on the Book of Revelation using the Revised Standard Version: Catholic Edition of the Bible. Barber provides a Catholic interpretation, which sees the liturgical background of this book of Scripture-a perspective missing in many Protestant commentaries.

Download or read book Life with God written by Richard J. Foster and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too often, our study of the Bible focuses on searching for specific information or some formula that will solve our pressing needs of the moment. But what if we approached the Bible differently, and instead of transforming the text to meet our needs, allowed it to transform us? That's exactly the idea behind Life with God, Richard J. Foster's much-anticipated book on the Bible. Foster, bestselling author of Celebration of Discipline and general editor of The RenovarÉ Spiritual Formation Bible, claims that God has superintended the writing of Scripture so that it serves as the most reliable guide for Christian spiritual formation. According to Foster, the Bible is all about human life "with God." As we read Scripture, we should consider how exactly God is with us in each story and allow ourselves to be spiritually transformed. By opening our whole selves—mind, body, spirit, thoughts, behavior, and will—to the page before us, we begin to grasp all the Bible has to teach about prayer, obedience, compassion, virtue, and grace and apply it to our everyday lives to achieve a deeper relationship with God. With a wealth of examples and simple yet crucial insights, Life with God is an indispensable guide to approaching the Bible through the lens of Christian spiritual formation, revealing that reading the Bible for interior transformation is a far different endeavor than reading the Bible for historical knowledge, literary appreciation, or religious instruction.

Download or read book LIVES of the Holy Glorious and every where Celebrated APOSTLES written by L. V. Filimonova and published by Vladimir Djambov. This book was released on with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html Election of the Twelve Apostles After the Baptism from John in the Jordan River, the Lord Jesus Christ began to preach His Divine teaching, performing countless miracles and healing all kinds of diseases (see: Matthew 4, 23). Many people from all over the country of Judea began to flock to listen to His wondrous doctrine and ask for the healing of their ailments (see: Luke 6, 17-18). These listeners, for the most part, soon left Heavenly Teacher and returned to their worldly pursuits. However, some accompanied the Savior almost everywhere and were already called His disciples (see: John 3, 22; 4, 1). But even they were not all far from everyday interests and not all were equally capable of perceiving Divine truths. Meanwhile, Christ had to come forward decisively and openly to His glorious service to the human race, and He was pleased to separate from among the disciples several chosen, worthy ones. Seeing the spiritual purity of some, the Lord even earlier called them apart to follow Him, as if to test their readiness. Now, seeing this readiness of them, He set out to lay the foundation for their closest alliance with Him. And then one evening the Lord retires to a secluded mountain for prayer. The Divine Prayer Book spent the whole night in prayer (see: Luke 6, 12). Who knows what the Lord’s prayer hugged at this time! Maybe the Son of Man asked His Heavenly Father to be strengthened for the coming deed; maybe He called the blessing of the Father to Himself to His great work and to the chosen disciples in their service to this work. It is morning. Fortified by night prayer, the Lord calls to Him on a mountain of His disciples, and here, in the midst of solemn morning silence, far from worldly noise, he selects twelve of them. Here are their names: Simon Peter and Andrew, his brother, James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Philip and Bartholomew, Matthew and Thomas, James Alfeyev and Simon Zealot, Judas Jacob and Judas Iscariot, who later betrayed Christ (see: Luke 6 , 14–16; cf. Mark 3, 16–19). All these were for the most part people simple, poorly educated, poor Galilean fishermen. The Lord chose them as those who proved their love and affection for Him, trusting, as children, not infected by the dreams of false enlightenment. He himself provided them with education and taught them not only by word, but also by deed, alone before the people, in the house and on the way, on land and at sea. The Lord revealed to them the secrets of His Kingdom, and often explained His teachings separately from the people (see: Mark 4, 34; Matthew 13, 36). He gradually erased their prejudices brought from Jewish teachings, tempered their heart movements and brought them into harmony with their responsibilities. The Lord cleansed and enlightened their mind and heart, preparing them for the complete outpouring of the Spirit of truth and sanctification in them. They were constantly with Him (see: Mark 3, 14), accompanied Him everywhere, were His constant companions and interlocutors, listened to His teachings, witnessed His life and work, His miracles, His suffering, death, resurrection and ascension to heaven, and then they themselves had to testify that they saw, heard, felt. At first they were in relation to the Lord as disciples; at the end of His earthly career, He already called them friends (see: Jn. 15, 14–15), as those from whom He did not hide anything; finally, after His resurrection, he called them brothers (see: John 20, 17), as the closest beings to Himself. By the nature of their ministry, they were called by the Lord Himself the apostles (see: Luke 6, 13), i.e., messengers. Twice Christ the Savior sent them to preach. At first, giving them the power to work miracles, he sent them two in front of His only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel (see: Matt. 10, 6 onwards; Mk. 6, 7 onwards). Then, after death and glorious resurrection, he sent them to preach the gospel to all creatures (see: Mk. 16, 15), to teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit (see: Mt. 28, 19). The number of 12 apostles, violated by the fall of Judah, soon after the ascension of Christ was filled up by the election by lot of Matthew (see: Acts 1, 20, 23–26). On the day of Pentecost, the apostles received the Holy Spirit, descending in the form of tongues of fire and resting on them with His grace (see: Acts 2, 1–4). After the descent of the Holy Spirit, by the direct calling of Christ and the illumination of the Holy Spirit, Paul, the great apostle of the Gentiles, was added to the face of the 12 apostles (see: Rom. 11, 13; 15, 14–19). Fulfilling the command of the Lord, the holy apostles, after 12 years after the ascension of Christ, who, according to church tradition, they were together in Jerusalem, dispersed and everywhere preached the name of Christ (see: Acts 16, 21; Mk. 16, 20). Their voice was heard all over the earth, and their words spread to the edge of the universe (see: Rom. 10, 18).
