Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Truth of the Apostolic Gospel 1. The genuine student is eager in the search for truth. He believes that everything must approve itself to his reason. Science has made such gigantic strides, and has by its magnificent generalizations so brought home to the modern mind the unity of nature, that its laws are regarded as the abiding objective truth, whatever be our likes or dislikes, our superstitions or prejudices. Other things may change, the laws of nature are permanent. For if our hypotheses have to be abandoned from time to time, it is not the underlying law which is supposed to be capricious, and we do not desist from the search until some more permanent hypothesis is discovered. So to-day the old atomic theory is yielding to a grander generalization as to the structure of matter. 2. Equally zealous is the philosophic student to discover the laws of mind. Persuaded that human life can be unified and explained in terms of reason, he traces through the systems that change from age to age, a pervading and ever clearer principle. Deeper and truer inductions in the realm of pure thought, psychology, or the process of history displace the philosophic structures of the past, which are proving too strait for the amplitude of present knowledge and experience. 3. Truth is a term that is too often narrowed in its range. Truths of science are only a part of the whole of truth; truths of philosophy are only a part of the whole of truth. Both science and philosophy must include in their survey the truths of the other realms of nature before giving forth their final results as the truth. For no part of truth can conflict with any other part of truth. So no hypothesis of science or philosophy is truth if it clashes with the largest meaning of man's life. 4. According to the Bible man is of such supreme value, his essential worth is so great, and his destiny so glorious, that the world of nature is merely the stage on which man's character is disciplined (Ps. 8:3-9; Matt. 6:32, 33; 16:26; 24:35; John 1:1-4, 10; 17:5, 24; Eph. 1:4; Heb. 4:3). Nature is regarded as sympathetic to the crises in the Kingdom of God (Ps. 104:1-10; Matt. 24:29-31; Rom. 8:19-22). Therefore since the purposes of God for the kingdom of humanity are supreme, no scientific or philosophic theory can be correct which conflicts with the principles of God's moral rule. Truth must in its last issue have a spiritual interpretation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Resurrection of Jesus There is scarcely another fact' in the Christian Faith that has caused so much difficulty to the belief of the modern man as that of the Resurrection of Jesus. The advance of science in our days seems to leave no room for miracle, especially for such a miracle as the resurrection of the dead to a new bodily life. And yet the question here is not of a miracle which could be put aside as unhistorical, without essential deduction from the apostolic Gospel. The church has always considered the resurrection of Jesus as a principal part of her message. The apostle Paul occasionally describes Christian saving faith in the words: Thou believest in thine heart that God hath raised Jesus from the dead (rom. 10. 9) and he also says directly: If Christ be not risen then is our preaching vain ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished (1 Cor. 15. I4, 17, In like manner among all other New Testament writers, the resurrec.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Methods in Church Work: The Gospel Renaissance This book is timely. It speaks to an opportunity. An intelligent discussion of the best methods Of church work is one Of the strongest needs of the times. It is Often said that What the Church needs, to secure her purity and progress, is to get back to Christ. There is a truth in this, although it is some times over-stated. We have some inheritance Of mis takes in the theology of the fathers, and it would doubtless advance the Simplicity of theological state ment and conduce to the unity and harmony of the Church, if we would be content to express truth in the divine Simplicity which marked his words. But we have departed from the Simplicity of the early Church quite as much in the principles and methods of church work as in the forms Of theological statement. The simple ways Of apostolic times have very much been lost Sight of in the modern administration of church affairs: Both in the principles of Christian life and in our ways of expressing them, we have gone a long way from the early Church, and without any Sharp sense of our departure.

Download or read book The Joy of the Gospel written by Pope Francis and published by Image. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth. Includes a foreword by Robert Barron, author of Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith and James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage

Download or read book John and His Writings Classic Reprint written by D. A. Hayes and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from John and His Writings At the close of our volume on Paul and His Epistles we said that John was the greatest theologian of the apostolic times; and, while we recognized that the Pauline influence had dominated the thought and life of the church at large, and we believed that it ought to do so until the missionary and evangelistic work of the church was done, we prophesied that then the Johannine theology would be the supreme influence in the days of the church's edification and consummation in love. That prophecy indicates our estimate of the final position to be accorded the apostle John. We believe that as the church grows in grace and becomes more and more like its Lord it will more and more agree with him that John is the disciple most worthy of its love. There is a disposition at the present time with a certain class of writers to emphasize the dependence of John upon Paul, and these writers try to make it appear that the author of the Johannine books was a disciple of Paul even more fully than he was a disciple of Jesus. We believe that John always was a receptive soul and that he probably learned much from Paul, as from every other strong personality with whom he came into contact, but the supreme influence in all his more mature life was that of the Master. For the most part he was one of the quiet in the land, and he stood nearest to the Master, and he saw deepest into the Masters spirit and truth, and he meditated longest upon these things, and in the end he formulated more fully than any other the essentials of the new faith; and as far as he went we believe that he has spoken the final word in this field.

Download or read book Nine Marks of a Healthy Church 3rd Edition written by Mark Dever and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2013-08-31 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in its third edition and featuring a new foreword by New York Times best-selling author David Platt, pastor Mark Dever’s classic book is not an instruction manual for church growth. Rather, it is a wise pastor’s recommendation for how to assess the health of a church using nine crucial qualities often neglected by many of today’s congregations. Church leaders and church members alike will resonate with the principles outlined here, breathing new life and health into the church at large. In this newly revised edition, fresh arguments have been added (for example on expositional preaching, about the nature of the gospel, on complementarianism), illustrations have been updated, appendices have been changed, and cover has been improved.

Download or read book The Truth of the Gospel written by Peter Parris and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-03 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Readers of The Truth of the Gospel will find Biblical exposition of foundational truths, including God's sovereignty; Jesus as the only way to the one true God; predestination; the power of new birth and the implications of "Christ in you"; the validity of the baptism of the Holy Spirit; and the victorious nature of the kingdom of God. They will gain insight into difficult passages such as, "no one who is born of God sins," and "all the evil that the Lord had brought on him." They will receive Biblically-based answers to thorny and controversial questions, including, "Are the gifts valid for today?"; "What about the rapture?"; "What is a Christian's relationship to the law?"; and "Is rebuilding the temple blasphemy?" They will be equipped to discern, and Biblically refute, popular, but misguided, philosophies and opinions, and even traditional teachings, which are not the truth, such as baptismal regeneration, the cessation doctrine, and beliefs that the kingdom has not yet come or has already come in its fullness. They will be encouraged in their faith and in their love of God as they discover God's provisions for victorious living, and every believer's part in the unfolding of God's eternal purpose in the Lord Jesus. Peter Parris, a native of Great Britain, was converted at the age of thirteen at a Baptist church in South London. He began preaching when he was fifteen, and had the privilege and benefit of godly ministers, including Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones of Westminster Chapel. He has founded churches in both Great Britain and the United States, where he has been living since 1978. He has worked with the Fellowship of Connected Churches and Ministries since its inception, and serves as one of its apostolic leaders. He is the author of the daily devotional book, Act Like A Man.
