Download or read book The Sovereign God and the Christian Disciple written by Robert M Solomon and published by Armour Publishing. This book was released on with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sovereignty of God is a doctrine that has been debated by Christians for centuries. For some, this remains a passionate topic, creating different camps among Christians, endlessly arguing about whether God’s sovereignty and human free will can co-exist. For the majority, the doctrine is a vague concept that remains to be explored. This book deals with these issues by examining what the Bible says about God’s sovereignty and human responsibility. It explores the sovereignty of God by looking at God as the Creator, Saviour, Shepherd and Judge, and tackles questions that commonly emerge. If we believe that God is truly sovereign, then we must live out the implications by living faithfully and responsibly—by trusting and obeying Him amid the challenges of life, praying to Him, sharing about Him with others, and serving and hoping in Him. Our relationship with Him is an important way to understand how His grace, purpose, and power invite us to respond responsibly to Him in active discipleship.
Download or read book The Sovereignty of God in Our Daily Lives written by David R. Rosen and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2023-01-30 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it altogether. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. -Psalms 139:3-5 The sovereignty of God. Actively working. Every day. In every way. And He is actively working in you - you who believe in Jesus! The Gospel of Christ, seeing God’s sovereignty within salvation and now also within our lives, this study should help you see the glory of Christ in your daily walk of faith. Salvation is not a one-time event, and I challenge conventional wisdom -- it is not solely because of your or my efforts. For it is a gift of grace through faith given by God. For beneath our faith in Jesus is God’s active working within our hearts. Now with the Holy Spirit living within us, He works daily in us to the council of His will toward, in, and through us - giving us His grace, wisdom, and comfort each day. This book, with the Bible in hand, highlights scriptures - with my comments as a flashlight - to showcase the glory of God and to help reveal to believers and seekers alike the high value of Jesus!
Download or read book The Sovereignty of God written by Arthur W. Pink and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-04-22 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the following pages an attempt has been made to examine anew in the light of God's Word some of the profoundest questions which can engage the human mind. Oth¬ers have grappled with these mighty problems in days gone by and from their labors we are the gainers. While mak¬ing no claim for originality the writer, nevertheless, has endeavored to examine and deal with his subject from an entirely independent viewpoint. We have studied diligently the writings of such men as Augustine and Acquinas, Calvin and Melancthon, Jonathan Edwards and Ralph Erskine, Andrew Fuller and Robert Haldane.* And sad it is to think that these eminent and honored names are almost entirely unknown to the present generation. Though, of course, we do not endorse all their conclusions, yet we gladly acknowledge our deep indebtedness to their works. We have purposely refrained from quoting freely from these deeply taught theologians, because we desired that the faith of our readers should stand not in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. For this reason we have quoted freely from the Scriptures and have sought to furnish proof texts for every statement we have advanced. Arthur Walkington Pink was an English Christian evangelist and Biblical scholar known for his staunchly Calvinist and Puritan-like teachings. Though born to Christian parents, prior to conversion he migrated into a Theosophical society (an occult gnostic group popular in England during that time), and quickly rose in prominence within their ranks. His conversion came from his father's patient admonitions from Scripture. It was the verse, Proverbs 14:12, 'there is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death,' which particularly struck his heart and compelled him to renounce Theosophy and follow Jesus.

Book excerpt: The Sovereignty of God is a religion classic by English Bible teacher Arthur Pink who articulates and relates the Biblical truths of God's absolute Sovereignty with the main goal to exalt God solely from the pages of Scripture. Pink attempts to draw closer the tension between the sovereignty of God and the responsibility of man, an eternal question that remains debated even though it's seemingly plainly taught in the Scripture. The author's focus is on the divine side of the issue, defining God's sovereignty and presenting the different spheres that it works and operates. Further on he turns to the tension between the sovereignty of God and human will and responsibility.

Download or read book Divine Sovereignty and Human Responsibility written by D. A. Carson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2002-01-07 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both theology and philosophy wrestle with the tension that exists between the sovereignty of God and human response. In Christianity, this tension is particularly acute as God is understood to be both omnipotent and benevolent. This tension underlies numerous other questions: about the nature of God, the meaning of human freedom and choice, the concept of divine repentance, the reign of God and supremely, the significance of the incarnation. Dr. Carson brings clear, scholarly insights and finely-honed exegetical skills to this all-pervasive issue, seeing it not so much as a problem to be solved as a framework to be explored. He examines the sovereignty-responsibility themes in the Old Testament, intertestamental literature and in the theology of John's gospel and concludes with a reflection on the theological implications for ministry and mission today.

Download or read book Over the Threshold written by David Adwedaa and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is about the basic truth of Gods heart for the obedient believera desire to display His glory and power through the believer. By obedience to God and discovery of the resources made available to the believer by Gods divine power for daily living, the believer is empowered with an increased capacity that the Holy Spirit providesthe ability to be a partaker of the very divine nature of God. As a born-again child of God, the connection to and positioning in God creates ripples that impact the believers immediate family and generations, bringing Gods deliverance and salvation to many. This book calls believers to a place where the very life of God flows and urges them to cross the threshold into what God reveals of Himself. Out of that experience, believers can live and impact the world with a life empowered by God as they are soaring on the sovereignty of God with a strong conviction that there is no purpose for ones life until one discovers their true identity in Christ. Until one learns to soar on the sovereign power of God and appropriate the provisions made available by being united with Christ, there is failure in understanding the privilege of having been born of God and the heritage as an heir of the Kingdom.
Download or read book Suffering and the Sovereignty of God written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2006-09-13 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last few years, 9/11, a tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and many other tragedies have shown us that the vision of God in today's churches in relation to evil and suffering is often frivolous. Against the overwhelming weight and seriousness of the Bible, many Christians are choosing to become more shallow, more entertainment-oriented, and therefore irrelevant in the face of massive suffering. In Suffering and the Sovereignty of God, contributors John Piper, Joni Eareckson Tada, Steve Saint, Carl Ellis, David Powlison, Dustin Shramek, and Mark Talbot explore the many categories of God's sovereignty as evidenced in his Word. They urge readers to look to Christ, even in suffering, to find the greatest confidence, deepest comfort, and sweetest fellowship they have ever known.
Download or read book God s Sovereignty Displayed written by William Gearing and published by Puritan Publications. This book was released on 2016-10-31 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Gearing (1625-1690) was a fiery puritan and Gospel preacher who was exceedingly practical in his application of biblical truth. The bible teaches God is sovereign. How do you feel about that? Generally, people who come into contact with this biblical idea for the first time find it offensive instead of comforting. This is especially true when they come under some kind of life-changing affliction (loss of job, money, etc.), an event that involves a death (of a spouse, child or parent), or some kind of life-threatening or debilitating disease they are now under. Gearing shows that God has an absolute, independent right of disposing of all people and things according to His own pleasure, and uses the example of Job, beginning in Job 9:12, “Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? Who will say unto him, what dost thou?” Anything God pleases to do he does, and is glorified by it. He is sovereign over the heavenly host, over the destiny of all men, over nature, over plants and animals, over how people think, feel, and act, over cities and nations, and controls both the good and the bad events that occur in every moment of time throughout all of history. Do you despise God for his sovereignty, or praise him for it? Gearing shows that Christians must yield patiently under the sovereignty of God when he takes away whatever he pleases in their life for their good. God is in fact the Author of affliction, but he willingly afflicts his people for their sanctification. Gearing shows that God uses various means to accomplish his ends, and there are a number of reasons why he takes away from us what he pleases. He proves God’s sovereignty biblically, and exposes the folly of serving and trusting in temporary things instead of the omnipotent God. Gearing shows that God’s word ought to be used to rest on God’s promises when Christians go through afflictions. Here they ought to glean Gospel patience in imitating Jesus Christ who also suffered under the heaviest affliction imaginable – the wrath of God on the cross.

Download or read book Still Sovereign written by Thomas R. Schreiner and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2000-03-01 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between divine sovereignty and the human will is a topic of perennial theological dispute and one that is gaining increased attention among contemporary evangelicals. In Still Sovereign, thirteen scholars write to defend the classical view of God's sovereignty. According to the editors, "Ours is a culture in which the tendency is to exalt what is human and diminish what is divine. Even in evangelical circles, we find increasingly attractive a view of God in which God is one of us, as it were, a partner in the unfolding drama of life. . . . In contrast, the vision of God affirmed in these pages is of one who reigns supreme over all, whose purposes are accomplished without fail, and who directs the course of human affairs, including the central drama of saving a people for the honor of his name, all with perfect holiness and matchless grace." The fourteen chapters of Still Sovereign (originally part of the two-volume, The Grace of God, the Bondage of the Will) are divided into three parts. Part 1 offers fresh exegesis of the biblical texts that bear most directly on the doctrines of election, foreknowledge, and perseverance of the saints. Part 2 explores theological and philosophical issues related to effectual calling, prevenient grace, assurance of salvation, and the nature of God's love. The final section applies the doctrines of election and divine sovereignty to Christian living, prayers, evangelism, and preaching.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the unabridged version of Author Pink's original The Sovereignty of God. And faces the real issues facing those who profess Christianity. The bible is very clear as to the sovereignty of God invert aspect of our lives, in creation, providence, and redemption but so very few people are able to grasp the reality and profound implications of this fact. This book demonstrates that scripture clearly teaches God has predesigned all things. It treats the subject of reprobation that the Banner of Truth edition omits. It clearly teaches God has and chosen to save a vast number of people to obtain salvation by Jesus Christ. That these people are called the elect and were chosen in Christ before the world began. It clearly shows that God is in control of all things and that nothing comes to pass unless God has commanded it.

Book excerpt: It's been 15 years since my journey began back to the throne of God. I'm not sure when I began to think God wasnt on the throne nor when I began to think I was on it myself. I suppose we all have problems when it comes to understanding the Lordship of Christ and submitting ourselves to that reality. When my theology came tumbling down I found myself taking refuge in God's word. I buried myself there trying to figure out who God was and ultimately who I am in Him. Lord of The Harvest is the fruit of that journey. Lord of the Harvest takes a hard look at God's hand in salvation and restores Gods glory, honor, power and praise for all that He does in that process. The result is an overwhelming sense of gratitude and a strong desire to cast our crowns at the feet of Jesus and give Him praise for His loving kindness towards us. This book will open up your eyes to all that God has done in your life and will leave you on your knees in thanksgiving and praise before the Lord God Almighty.
