Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Vision of Heaven Virgil says of Eneas, one feed the heart on a vain picture, the nature of the picture is here such as to improve the heart which feeds on it. Those who have never been Christians m a spir itual sense, rhaps ill understand how it com bines unsel lsmess with a sense of the commu nion of saints and union with God in Christ. A young Christian who, erhaps for the first time, receives the Lord's upper in what he sup poses to be a choice collection of saintly commu uieante from the hands Of a peculiar y saintly minister, has an inexpressible pdelight by more presence in so select an assembly. No one of them knows him; he does not desire to be known, he seeks no introductions; but he feels that everything around him is sacred. No pro fans heart mars his conscious sympathy with those whom he believes to be 1n close spiritual union with the Almighty and the thrice Holy. A thrilling sense Of joy which ma mount into transport suggests to him what wil be the bless edness of that state where all hearts are in har mony with God, and thereby With one another. To im ute as sel shness the desire that such a king om of may come, - the desire to see its realization - is surely a very7 great mistake. The desire was plainly uttered, ong before the Christian Era, 1n the Hebrew Psalms - Re member me, Q Lord, with the favor that thou bearest unto thy people: 0 visit me With thy sal vation; that I may see the felicity of the chosen ones anti rejoice' ln ythe gladness thy heritage.

Book excerpt: Disability is not a boundary to holiness, because God is with us. But it can sometimes be an obstacle to full participation in the life of the Church, simply because many do not understand what is needed to help people with disabilities overcome any physical, mental, or interpersonal challenges they may face in church and in leading an Orthodox Christian life. This book addresses the question from theological, practical, and experiential perspectives, giving individuals and families with disabilities the opportunity to voice their needs and suggest some things the rest of us can do to make them welcome in the household of God.

Download or read book Visions of Heaven and Hell written by A. H. Gottschall and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-08-03 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Visions of Heaven and Hell: What Men and Women Claim to Have Seen, in the World Beyond What the inspiring cause of the experiences related in this book was, is a matter we cannot determine for the reader. But we are inclined to believe that what these people claim to have seen and heard was revealed to their inner or spirit consciousness by God, or by other spirit or angelic intelligences from a sphere higher than that of Earth. All who read these accounts with candor must be deeply impressed with their solemnity. What a hallowed, quickening influence comes to the soul while perusing the narrators' testimony of what they saw and heard of the beauties of Heaven and its happy, glorious inhabitants and what sadness and awe fall upon the heart when reading of the terrors of Hell and the anguish of the unfortunates consigned to its gloom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Celestial Home: An Astronomer's View of Heaven Professor Drummond in his grand work, Natural Law in the Spiritual World, seems to entertain similar views. He well says that eternal life is not merely existence prolonged forever: it is to know God, to have com munion with Him. This is the correspond ence which will never break, with the environ ment which is truly eternal. But, according to Professor Drummond, this is the only cor respondence that possesses everlastingness; all other correspondences are temporal, they belong to time and to this present world. They are in their nature unfitted for an eternal life. These lower correspondences with the material environment must, in some way, be unloosed and dissociated from the higher elements; and this is effected by a closing catastrophe - Death.

Book excerpt: The doctrine of hell as a place of eternal punishment has never been easy for Christians to accept. The temptation to retreat from and reject the Church's traditional teaching about hell is particularly strong in our current culture, which has demonstrably lost its sense of sin. Fr. Lawrence Farley examines the Orthodox Church's teaching on this difficult subject through the lens of Scripture and patristic writings, making the case that the existence of hell does not negate that of a loving and forgiving God.

Download or read book Surprised by Christ written by A. James Bernstein and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raised in Queens, New York by formerly Orthodox Jewish parents, Arnold Bernstein went on his own personal quest for the God he instinctively felt was there. He was ready to accept God in whatever form He chose to reveal Himself-and that form turned out to be Christ. But Bernstein soon perceived discrepancies in the various forms of Protestant belief that surrounded him, and so his quest continued-this time for the true Church. With his Jewish heritage as a foundation, he studied and evaluated, and eventually came to the conclusion that the faith of his forefathers was fully honored and brought to completion only in the Orthodox Christian Church. Surprised by Christ combines an engrossing memoir of one man's life in historic times and situations-from the Six-Day War to the Civil Rights Movement to the Jesus Movement in Berkeley-with a deeply felt examination of the distinctives of Orthodox theology that make the Orthodox Church the true home not only for Christian Jews, but for all who seek to who seek to know God as fully.

Download or read book Meet for Heaven written by William Branks and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Meet for Heaven: A State of Grace Upon Earth the Only Preparation for a State of Glory in Heaven Some Christians have a lofty View of heaven, as the Holy of Holies in God's great creation, and of the high qualifications in grace here that are needed to prepare us for its habitation of holiness, of love, and of peace; but, along with this, they cherish the too common and seductive belief, that death will eject, when it comes to them, not a mere transition and im provement, but something like an entire change on the spiritual and moral condition of their souls. I am led to Show that such an anticipation is not only wrong, but dangerous. Personal Christianity consists, not merely in the adoption of a creed or In an outward profession, but In a habitual looking to Jesus for the grace which the Father hath treasured up in him, in such abundance, for the supply of all our spiritual wants, and for the example how we who are Christians should live in the world. I have accordingly, in the following chap ters, viewed Christ's life upon earth as the example of what our life here ought to be, and Christ now in a state of glory in heaven as the pattern of what we are yet to he. Thus I have attempted to exhibit the Lord Jesus as all and all, both in a state of grace and in a state of glory.
