Book excerpt: Church unity? What is it? For many it's the belief that we serve the same God, believe the same Savior died for our sins, and look to the same Book for inspiration; but beyond these affections, things change rapidly. How does the new Christian convert find the right church? Why can't a seasoned believer attend any church in the world and feel right at home? Something is terribly wrong. Never has the church body been more divided, precisely at a time when society is crumbling under unwholesome worldly influences and political pressures. The accepted norm of a divided church has catastrophically weakened the outreach of Christian disciples to those who desperately need God. But where do we start? Author Steve LaTulippe offers a path to church unity, without compromise of Scripture, by clearly defining the causes and effects of division, and by offering solid biblical solutions for Christian union. In his new book, Unity Without Compromise: A Biblical Basis for Christian Union, Steve boldly confronts the teachings, beliefs, and practices that commonly divide us; and he proposes solid principles that can meld all Christians into a unified body according to God's design. Backed by recognized Bible scholars and theologians, Steve gives a straightforward analysis of how greatly the church has drifted from Jesus's heartfelt prayer on His way to the Garden of Gethsemane, "that they all may be one." Christian union derives simply from a pure heart and a solid understanding of what the Bible really says. We therefore must learn how to make God's message say precisely what God meant, so that we may observe these things only. Steve's hope is that readers will be awakened to the devastating consequences of a divided church and commit to placing God and the Bible at the forefronts of their faith again. If your goal is to be a true ambassador for Christ, read and see how you can actually be an answer to Jesus's own prayer. And then be that answer! A church united is a powerhouse for good, and the harvest is riper than ever to hear the truth of God's word. Steven A. LaTulippe, MD, is a practicing family physician, a retired United States Air Force officer and aviator, and an ordained minister. He attended Boise Bible College and Cincinnati Bible Seminary, and has always focused on sound interpretation. His yearning to bring Christians together as a force for good in the world arises from visiting many churches across the nation and globe, always seeing the unlimited potential of those who faithfully work to serve our mighty Lord, Jesus Christ.

Download or read book No Compromise eBook written by Errol Naidoo and published by Christian Art Publishers. This book was released on 2012-10-26 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It often happens that people compromise their faith to suit their lifestyle. Their black and white sense of right and wrong gets trapped in a gray area. In NO COMPROMISE, founder and president of Family Policy Institute (FPI), Errol Naidoo, maintains that the major reason for the moral decline in the world today is the lack of conviction and commitment of Christians to be salt and light in society. Even though prayer is the foundation of everything a Christian does, NO COMPROMISE states that Christians shouldn’t “just pray” and not engage in politics and social issues. Naidoo spurs readers on not only to be people of prayer, but also people of action. They should adjust their lifestyle according to their faith, no compromise!
Download or read book Community Without Unity written by William Corlett and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 1990 Foundations of Political Theory Section of the American Political Science Association "First Book Award" Now available in paperback with a new preface by the author, this award-winning book breaks new ground by challenging traditional concepts of community in political theory. William Corlett brings the diverse (and sometimes contradictory) work of Foucault and Derrida to bear on the thought of Pocock, Burke, Lincoln, and McIntyre, among others, to move beyond the conventional dichotomy of "individual vs. community," arguing instead that community is best advanced within a politics of difference.
Download or read book Political Silence written by Sophia Dingli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-11-12 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notion of ‘silence’ in Politics and International Relations has come to imply the absence of voice in political life and, as such, tends to be scholastically prescribed as the antithesis of political power and political agency. However, from Emma Gonzáles’s three minutes of silence as part of her address at the March for Our Lives, to Trump’s attempts to silence the investigation into his campaign’s alleged collusion with Russia, along with the continuing revelations articulated by silence-breakers of sexual harassment, it is apparent that there are multiple meanings and functions of political silence – all of which intersect at the nexus of power and agency. Dingli and Cooke present a complex constellation of engagements that challenge the conceptual limitations of established approaches to silence by engaging with diverse, cross-disciplinary analytical perspectives on silence and its political implications in the realms of: environmental politics, diplomacy, digital privacy, radical politics, the politics of piety, commemoration, international organization and international law, among others. Contributors to this edited collection chart their approaches to the relationship between silence, power and agency, thus positing silence as a productive modality of agency. While this collection promotes intellectual and interdisciplinary synergy around critical thinking and research regarding the intersections of silence, power and agency, it is written for scholars in politics, international relations theory, international political theory, critical theory and everything in between.
Download or read book The House of God written by Moreno Dal Bello and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-02-26 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For the time is come that judgement must begin at the House of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the Gospel of God? And if the Righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?" (1 Peter 4:17,18). Many view the word Gospel as an ambiguous term...these Scriptures not only refer to the judgement of the ungodly, they actually provide the reader with information as to exactly who the ungodly are, and that which qualifies a person as godly. What verse 17 reveals is rather confronting when one looks deeper into the significance of its words, for what these two Scriptures present is no less than an insight into the purpose of election, and the inextricable connection between the essentiality of believing the Gospel-a completely unambiguous term-and salvation. These verses reveal the conclusive and irrevocable evidence that only Gospel believers are Righteous in God's eyes, that it is only they who are of the House of God.

Download or read book Mending a Fractured Church written by Michael Bird and published by . This book was released on 2015-11-20 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it really mean for the church to have unity? When Jesus prayed for his followers to be one, he prayed that this unity would demonstrate the truth of his claims to an unbelieving world. Sadly, the world often sees a church that is divided. Some of our divisions are based on legitimate theological concerns, yet many others are simply matters of opinion. To the world, it's all another reason to doubt God. What are the differences worth dividing over? How should we handle diversity? Mending a Fractured Church, edited by Michael Bird and Brian Rosner, seeks to answer such questions, looking to the Bible for examples of how to behave when Christians differ. Speaking to pastors, churches, and seminary students, the contributors provide a guide to maintaining unity without compromise.
Download or read book Like a Mighty Army written by David W. Taylor and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-10-08 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1937, prior to the 1948 inauguration of the World Council of Churches, Karl Barth challenged the churches to engage in "real strict sober genuine theology" in order that the unity of the church might be visibly realized. At that time The Salvation Army didn't aspire to being formally known as a church, even though it was a founding member of the WCC. Today it is globally known as a social welfare organization, concerned especially to serve the needs of those who find themselves at the margins of society. Less well known is that seventy years after Barth's challenge it has made its peace with the view that it is a church denomination. Accepting Barth's challenge to the churches, and in dialogue with his own ecumenical ecclesiology, the concept of the church as an Army is interrogated, in service to The Salvation Army's developing understanding of its identity, and to the visible unity of God's church.
Download or read book One Faith written by James Innell Packer and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus Christ promised a unity for his church. Are there now clear evidences of that within evangelicalism? Or are evangelicals fragmenting into ever smaller divisions?Renowned theologians J. I. Packer and Thomas C. Oden make the case that there is a significant theological consensus holding the evangelical church together. With copious citations from statements produced since 1950 that are widely representative of international evangelical faith, Packer and Oden let these witnesses speak for themselves.Packer and Oden survey several key documents of evangelicalism, particularly the Lausanne Covenant (1974), the Manila Manifesto (1989), The Gospel of Jesus Christ: An Evangelical Celebration (1999) and The Amsterdam Declaration (2000). Charting sixteen different theological themes, they also include references to numerous documents produced by evangelical theological seminaries and societies, mission agencies, parachurch organizations and assorted special convocations. More than informational, One Faith arises out of the hope that it may not only edify the evangelical church but also provide a potential foundation for a new ecumenism that gives glory to the God of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the good news of his gospel.
Download or read book Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth written by Thaddeus J. Williams and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2020-12-22 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God does not suggest, he commands that we do justice. Social justice is not optional for the Christian. All injustice affects others, so talking about justice that isn't social is like talking about water that isn't wet or a square with no right angles. But the Bible's call to seek justice is not a call to superficial, kneejerk activism. We are not merely commanded to execute justice, but to "truly execute justice." The God who commands us to seek justice is the same God who commands us to "test everything" and "hold fast to what is good." Drawing from a diverse range of theologians, sociologists, artists, and activists, Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth, by Thaddeus Williams, makes the case that we must be discerning if we are to "truly execute justice" as Scripture commands. Not everything called "social justice" today is compatible with a biblical vision of a better world. The Bible offers hopeful and distinctive answers to deep questions of worship, community, salvation, and knowledge that ought to mark a uniquely Christian pursuit of justice. Topics addressed include: Racism Sexuality Socialism Culture War Abortion Tribalism Critical Theory Identity Politics Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth also brings in unique voices to talk about their experiences with these various social justice issues, including: Michelle-Lee Barnwall Suresh Budhaprithi Eddie Byun Freddie Cardoza Becket Cook Bella Danusiar Monique Duson Ojo Okeye Edwin Ramirez Samuel Sey Neil Shenvi Walt Sobchak In Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth, Thaddeus Williams transcends our religious and political tribalism and challenges readers to discover what the Bible and the example of Jesus have to teach us about justice. He presents a compelling vision of justice for all God's image-bearers that offers hopeful answers to life's biggest questions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Loving, Biblical Answers on Homosexuality In the next year at least one of these things will happen in your life: • A family member will come out of the closet and expect you to be okay with it. • Your elementary-age child's curriculum will discuss LGBT families. • Your company will talk about building a tolerant workplace for LGBT co-workers. • Your college-age child will tell you your view on homosexuality is bigoted. Are you ready? In their role as pastors, Adam Barr and Ron Citlau have seen how this issue can tear apart families, friendships, and even churches. In this book they combine biblical answers with practical, real-world advice on how to think about and discuss this issue with those you care about. They also tell the story of Ron's personal journey from same-sex attraction and sexual brokenness to healing. Truth does not preclude kindness--and a good dose of humility is necessary to love our neighbors. With sensitivity and winsomeness, this book will offer an honest but inviting message to readers: We are all in need of the healing that can only come from the truth of the gospel.
Download or read book Cruciform Ecumenism written by Elizabeth Smith Woodard and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-09-06 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The truth claims of Christianity appear compromised by the division of Christ’s followers into different denominations. What keeps Christians separated, retreating to their corners labeled Catholic, Orthodox, and various types of Protestant? Elizabeth Smith Woodard accounts for Christian disunity in terms of ecclesiology, episcopacy, and apostolicity: in brief, Who are we? Who is in charge? And are we who we say we are? Woodard argues that the controversial issues dividing Christians today stem from these questions of authority and identity. What would it look like, Woodard asks, if Christians did not insist on making “others” more “like us,” but instead worked toward all of “us” becoming more and more like Christ? She answers that growing in such cruciformity should serve as the basis for unity. Using recent unity-achieving Anglican-Lutheran discussions as a case study, she examines the crucial intersection of ecclesiology, episcopacy, and apostolicity to argue that Christians’ growth in Christ’s mission necessarily entails growing in unity and cruciformity.
