Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waking the Sleeping Church A Must-read for Every Church Member “Brethren, our preaching will bear its legitimate fruits. If immorality prevails in the land, the fault is ours in a great degree. If there is a decay of conscience, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the church is degenerate and worldly, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the world loses its interest in religion, the pulpit is responsible for it. If Satan rules in our halls of legislation, the pulpit is responsible for it. Let us not ignore this fact, my dear brethren; but let us lay it to heart, and b thoroughly awake to our responsibility in respect to the morals of this nation.” Charles G. Finney The Decay of Conscience, 1873

Book excerpt: Dr. Gary G. Cohen says, "Dr. Ralph Curtin's new book, Waking the Sleeping Church, should be read by every pastor and church leader in America! It may be compared to the warning horn that a pilot hears when the plane is descended dangerously too low. This book alerts Christians to awaken to what they know they are witnessing today, a general malaise throughout the land - typified by what we have seen so recently; top company executives taking care of themselves instead of their employees or customers! Curtin's book strengthens our Christian prophets to summon godly courage to speak up while there is still time against the moral decay that the world is attempting to push upon the church as normal and OK. Dr. Curtin identifies topics which people need to hear. His words are sober, yet sane, and like the letters from Christ in Revelation chapters two and three, they come with a remedy and hope."

Download or read book Awakening the Sleeping Giant written by Mario C. Alleckna and published by Trafford on Demand Pub. This book was released on 2003 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With global disasters lurking on the horizon, today's rapidly growing political and economical uncertainty has once again become the breeding ground of fear and depression. And while end-time prophesies are slowly unfolding, the Christian church finds herself surrounded by a society which is tossed around like a wave in an ocean of dramatic events and changes. In such a climate of negative predictions, the cry of our nations for real answers and a clear sense of direction has become an unprecedented opportunity for God's people. Is the Christian church able and prepared to meet the challenges that lie ahead? Are God's people ready and equipped for the great end-time harvest that is coming? Reflecting the unquestionable need for personal revival and the revival of the church, this book takes an analytical and thought-provoking look at the individual Christian life and the Christian church in general. With an in depth, holistic approach, the author discusses a wide spectrum of fundamental issues: Why is the highly educated modern Christian church seemingly so powerless? What does it take to get onto the road of a church revival? Can the Christian church have the strength of a giant? What does the Bible have to say about the spiritual war and the end-time? Founded on Biblical truths and spiced with a fresh, insightful look at the Christian life, this book challenges and encourages the reader to pursue a meaningful, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.

Download or read book Beautiful and Terrible Things written by Christian M. M. Brady and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bible scholar Christian Brady, an expert on Old Testament lament, was as prepared as a person could be for the death of a child—which is to say, not nearly well enough. When his eight-year-old son died suddenly from a fast-moving blood infection, Brady heard the typical platitudes about accepting God's will and knew that quiet acceptance was not the only godly way to grieve. With deep faith, knowledge of Scripture, and the wisdom that comes only from experience, Brady guides readers grieving losses and setbacks of all kinds in voicing their lament to God, reflecting on the nature of human existence, and persevering in hope. Brady finds that rather than an image of God managing every event and action in our lives, the biblical account describes the very real world in which we all live, a world full of hardship and calamity that often comes unbidden and unmerited. Yet, it also is a world into which God lovingly intrudes to bring comfort, peace, and grace.
