Download or read book Biblical Theology in the Life of the Church Foreword by Thomas R Schreiner written by Michael Lawrence and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capitol Hill Baptist Church associate pastor Michael Lawrence contributes to the IXMarks series as he centers on the practical importance of biblical theology to ministry. He begins with an examination of a pastor's tools of the trade: exegesis and biblical and systematic theology. The book distinguishes between the power of narrative in biblical theology and the power of application in systematic theology, but also emphasizes the importance of their collaboration in ministry. Having laid the foundation for pastoral ministry, Lawrence uses the three tools to build a biblical theology, telling the entire story of the Bible from five different angles. He puts biblical theology to work in four areas: counseling, missions, caring for the poor, and church/state relations. Rich in application and practical insight, this book will equip pastors and church leaders to think, preach, and do ministry through the framework of biblical theology.

Download or read book A Bigger Table written by John Pavlovitz and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2017-09-22 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one likes to eat alone; to approach a table filled with people, only to be told that despite the open chairs there isn't room for you. The rejection stings. It leaves a mark. Yet this is exactly what the church has been saying to far too many people for far too long: “You're not welcome here. Find someplace else to sit.†How can we extend unconditional welcome and acceptance in a world increasingly marked by bigotry, fear, and exclusion? Pastor John Pavlovitz invites readers to join him on the journey to findâ€"or buildâ€"a church that is big enough for everyone. He speaks clearly into the heart of the issues the Christian community has been earnestly wrestling with: LGBT inclusion, gender equality, racial tensions, and global concerns. A Bigger Table: Building Messy, Authentic, Hopeful Spiritual Community asks if organized Christianity can find a new way of faithfully continuing the work Jesus began two thousand years ago, where everyone gets a seat. Pavlovitz shares moving personal stories and his careful observations as a pastor to set the table for a new, more loving conversation on these and other important matters of faith. He invites us to build the bigger table Jesus imagined, practicing radical hospitality, total authenticity, messy diversity, and agenda-free community.
Download or read book We R2b1 written by Gary Buchanan and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-02-16 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We R2B1 answers many questions. Why are there over 33,800 Christian denominations worldwide? What impact does this fractured face of the body of Christ have on church vitality, ministry, and evangelism? Why is Christianity in decline in Australia, Europe, and North America? Why does the proliferation of the gospel flourish in areas and then decline with time? Why has it been over a century since the last widespread revival in America? Despite all that, why is the number of denominations in America still growing? Why do we spend so much time and resources debating a doctrine that is not essential to salvation? How do our clergy feel about denominations? What does the scripture say about divisive issues? Will God hold us accountable for teaching a biased or incorrect doctrine? What will those consequences be? What does the Bible teach about unity? Why are ecumenical organizations having limited success in promoting unity? What are the characteristics of teaching biblical truth? When two people differ on a belief essential for salvation, at least one must be wrong. Chapter 12 provides steps to help us grow back together. There is more information at WeR2B1.com.
Download or read book Reading Scripture with the Church Fathers written by Christopher A. Hall and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2009-08-20 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Christians today long to become reacquainted with their ancient ancestors in the faith. They see a deeper worship and devotion in the prayers and hymns of the early church. And they believe that the writings of the early church can shed new light on their understanding of Scripture. But where and how do we begin? Our first encounter with the writings of the church fathers may seem like visiting a far country where the language, assumptions, concerns and conclusions are completely unfamiliar to us. In Reading Scripture with the Church Fathers Christopher Hall helps us through this cultural confusion, introducing us to the early church, its unique world, and the sights and sounds of Scripture that are highlighted for them. As Hall points out, the ancient fathers hear music in Scripture where we remain tone-deaf. Despite their occasional eccentricities, theirs is a hearing refined through long listening in song, worship, teaching, meditation and oral reading. And like true masters they challenge and correct our modern assumptions as they invite us to tune our ears to hear the divine melodies of the Bible. Reading Scriptue with the Church Fathers is an exceptional guide. Hall provides a warm, winsome, informative and indispensable introcution to who these leaders and scholars were, how they read and interpreted Scripture, and how we might read Scripture with them for all its worth.

Book excerpt: Here is a stunning fact about Christianity. There are 2.5 billion Christians and over 45,000 denominations in the world today. These denominations have developed over time through inconsistent interpretation, tradition, prejudice, and just "feel good" teachings from just one book: "The Bible." We all like to think that our church is the 'one true church', but how can that be? Furthermore, if you are a Christian, or looking to become one, where do you go to find the 'Truth?"With so many different churches, one can become lost while seeking to be found. Things get complicated very quickly, and error continues to grow. The Bible says that in the last days, people will gather around them "a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths." Let this book open up your minds and hearts to the word of God so that a new and vibrant relationship with Jesus can be yours.Error was entering the church at the time of Paul. Imagine what 2,000 years has done. To strip away error and tradition, we must return to a self-knowledge of the word and a one-on-walk with Christ. In The Abandoned Truth, you will receive answers to questions people no longer think to ask, and you will discover surprising truths. It will discuss many of the errors and myths that permeate the church. This book, packed with scriptural references, will set you on a path to discovery of Biblical truth and guide you toward the freedom in Jesus Christ that can be yours.

This book was released on 2019-02-08 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As believers, we know we are to study the Bible, memorize it, and obey it. But does the Bible say what we think it says? There are many phrases that sound like they come from the Bible, but are they right? Are they scriptural? Are they part of God's plan for His church? Or are they culturally induced beliefs and practices that have been developed out of traditions of men and are contrary to God's expressed directions? The writer invites you to examine a little closer your beliefs as we examine some familiar statements of questions to determine if they are church myths or biblical truths. The purpose of this book is to examine some beliefs that are widespread throughout the institutional church as biblical truths; statements such as "Come as you are;" "Once saved, always saved;" and "Christians cannot live under a curse," and many others.
