Book excerpt: A profound exploration of how to hold on to hope when our unchanging faith collides with a changing culture, from two respected Christian storytellers and thought leaders. “Offers neither spin control nor image maintenance for the evangelical tribe, but genuine hope.”—Russell Moore, president of ERLC As the pressures of health warnings, economic turmoil, and partisan politics continue to rise, the influence of gospel-focused Christians seems to be waning. In the public square and popular opinion, we are losing our voice right when it’s needed most for Christ’s glory and the common good. But there’s another story unfolding too—if you know where to look. In Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra counter these growing fears with a robust message of resolute hope for anyone hungry for good news. Join them in exploring profound stories of Christians who are quietly changing the world in the name of Jesus—from the wild world of digital media to the stories of ancient saints and unsung contemporary activists on the frontiers of justice and mercy. Discover how, in these dark times, the light of Jesus shines even brighter. You haven’t heard the whole story. And that’s good news.
Download or read book To Curse the Root written by Pamela Sheppard Lmsw and published by Author House. This book was released on 2006-01-31 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique and essential feature of “To Curse the Root” is Rev. Sheppard''s anointed teaching gift that simplistically unfolds her spiritual scholarship to the average Christian layman, in such a way as to stir up a hunger for the word of God, causing the scriptures in the Bible to come alive. Those who have sat under her ministry or who have heard her audio messages on the website can attest to this truth about her anointing to teach. As both a preacher, a teacher, a pastor, a counselor and since 1996 an author, Rev. Sheppard boldly explores a theme rarely touched upon in Christiandom: the invisible conflict which is fought daily in the spiritual realm. In this the second edition of her first book on the subject, Rev. Sheppard explores an area of biblical truth for many readers who may never have considered the invisible forces, --- God, Satan, angels, and demons----fully at work in their everyday struggles to be set free from strongholds and bondages of all kinds. In this, her first book on the subject, emphasis is centered on how these invisible spiritual forces impact upon bondages of the soul in general, and the addictions, in particular. Never minimizing nor negating the value of the sobriety that 12 Step Programs have provided to those who were in a lifeline, Rev. Sheppard presents an alternative model,---Recovery In Christ (the RIC Program)--- for those who have truly become “born again” and who look to Jesus Christ as their Savior, their Lord and their God and not as “a higher power” among other powers. Not only for the addict, within these pages, the reader in search of spiritual growth will also find answers to questions concerning personal trials, tribulations and troubles, with helpful insights and strategies for victorious Christian living. Other books by Rev. Sheppard include “The Making of a Prophet: A Spiritual Indictment to the Organized Church” published by Author House in June, 2005 and her soon to be released third book called “Faces of the Religious Demon.”
Download or read book Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels 2nd edn written by J B GREEN and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 1849 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels is unique among reference books on the Bible, the first volume of its kind since James Hastings published his Dictionary of Christ and the Gospels in 1909. In the more than eight decades since Hastings, our understanding of Jesus, the Evangelists and their world has grown remarkably. New interpretive methods illumined the text, the ever-changing profile of modern culture has put new questions to the Gospels, and our understanding of the Judaism of Jesus's day has advanced in ways that could not have been predicted in Hastings's day. But for many readers of the Gospels the new outlook on the Gospels remains hidden within technical journals and academic monographs. The Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels bridges the gap between scholars and those pastors, teachers, students and lay people desiring in-depth treatment of select topics in an accessible and summary format. The topics range from cross-sectional themes (such as faith, law, Sabbath) to methods of interpretation (such as form criticism, redaction criticism, sociological approaches), from key events (such as the birth, temptation and death of Jesus) to each of the four Gospels as a whole. Some articles - such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, rabbinic traditions and revolutionary movements at the time of Jesus - provide significant background information to the Gospels. Others reflect recent and less familiar issues in Jesus and Gospel studies, such as divine man, ancient rhetoric and the chreiai. Contemporary concerns of general interest are discusses in articles covering such topics as healing, the demonic and the historical reliability of the Gospels. And for those entrusted with communicating the message of the Gospels, there is an extensive article on preaching from the Gospels. The Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels presents the fruit of evangelical New Testament scholarship at the end of the twentieth century - committed to the authority of Scripture, utilising the best of critical methods, and maintaining dialog with contemporary scholarship and challenges facing the church.
Download or read book Why We re Catholic written by Trent Horn and published by Catholic Answers Press. This book was released on 2017-05 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "How can you believe all this stuff? This is the number-one question Catholics get asked and, sometimes, we ask ourselves. Why do we believe that God exists, that he became a man and came to save us, that what looks like a wafer of bread is actually his body? Why do we believe that he inspired a holy book and founded an infallible Church to teach us the one true way to live? Ever since he became Catholic, Trent Horn has spent a lot of time answering these questions, trying to explain to friends, family, and total strangers the reasons for his Catholic faith. Some didn't believe in God, or even in the existence of truth. Others said they were spiritual but didn't think you needed religion to be happy. Some were Christians who thought Catholic doctrines over-complicated the pure gospel. And some were fellow Catholics who had a hard time understanding everything they professed to believe on Sunday. Why We're Catholic assembles the clearest, friendliest, most helpful answers that Trent learned to give to all these people and more. Beginning with how we can know reality and ending with our hope of eternal life, it s the perfect way to help skeptics and seekers (or Catholics who want to firm up their faith) understand the evidence that bolsters our belief and brings us joy" --

Download or read book The Blessing and the Curse written by Jeff S. Anderson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-07-07 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "magical power of the spoken word" is a topic that often comes up in a discussion of biblical blessings and curses. What is the source of social and linguistic power behind these blessings and curses? Many theologians would agree that God can and does bless, but does God also curse? If so, what does that mean to the biblical theology of the Old Testament and the Christian church? Anderson's The Blessing and the Curse applies speech act theory as one way to understand the performative function of blessings and curses. The concept of speech acts provides a method of recognizing the potent social power of language to accomplish certain ends, without drawing a hard line of distinction between word-magic and religion. Even though the chief concepts and practices of blessings and curses are deeply rooted in the broad cultural environment of the ancient Near East, tracing specific trajectories of Old Testament blessings and curses as theological themes conveys broad, inescapable implications for the biblical narrative and the Christian church.

Download or read book The Road to Your Deliverance and Restoration written by Apostle Clement Mbuyi and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Road to Your Deliverance and Restoration is a book that helps Christians and non-Christians identify the source of a curse and other spiritual bondages and to use the proper way to break the curse through the light of the word of God. Many people go through spiritual and physical difficulties without understanding the reason. They go from one church to another and one pastor to another, seeking help without receiving one. Lack of knowledge is one of our biggest enemies, and the Bible says, "My people perish for lack of knowledge." The book of Proverbs 26: 2 says, ‘So a curse without cause shall not alight." To break a curse, you must find the cause; and if you cannot get to the root cause of a problem, you will never solve that problem. It is very difficult for a doctor to treat a patient if he or she cannot find the root cause of the illness. Almost all of the problems that we go through in life come from the following eleven sources: Generational curse coming from generational sins of parents and grandparents God Himself Others and yourself Goods acquired in a fraudulent way Names Rebellion against authorities and leaders Contact with Occultism in its various forms Sexual sins in their various forms Emotional wounds, bitterness, and refusal to forgive Fear in all its forms The pursuit of the world and its values The purpose of this book is to show how to use biblical truths to uncover the true cause of a curse and spiritual bondage in our own lives and the lives of others to help them find emotional healing and spiritual freedom. Thus, the book explains the causes of a curse and spiritual bondage and offers biblical solutions to how to break them.
