Download or read book We Have Met the Pharisee and He Is Us written by Duane DeBruler and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2024-07-17 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible is filled with stories of people who walked away from face-to-face encounters with Jesus thinking he was a total jerk. This book explores the premise that if Jesus were to return today as he did two thousand years ago, he (or she!) would meet the same fate. That is, his own people would fail to recognize who he is, they would argue with him incessantly, and seek to have him destroyed. Written by a seasoned atheist turned Christian, this book seeks to help non-Christians have a better understanding of Christianity, including why we don't always do as we should. More importantly, at a time when many of our religious and political leaders are calling us to make America hate again, this book gives permission to people of all faiths to reject that call and follow Christ's call to love one another. Christ's message of love and shalom is timeless, and this book seeks to make Jesus present and relevant in our lives today. Join a retired school bus driver as he takes you on a trip through the Bible to see things that many lifelong Christians have not seen, including reasons why we all may want to argue with Jesus. See why there is no such thing as a "Godly" institution, how God has been warning us about global warming for forty years, how men are responsible for most abortions, and how Christians are called to move forward to make the world a better place rather than reverting to a mythological "great" past.

Download or read book Victorious Service Songs written by Charles Hutchinson Gabriel and published by . This book was released on 1925 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We believe that our friends and the great public will be better pleased with Victorious Service Songs than any other book we have published. Twenty years of association in writing, selecting and publishing gospel songs, combined with the knowledge acquired by observation in conducting the music of the largest congregations and choruses ever assembled for Christian worship, has given us a wealth of experience, the result of which we are passing on to you in this volume. From the beginning of our song ministry our ambition has been to raise the standard of gospel hymns and songs. We realized that this could not be brought about suddenly, but must be accomplished through a steady and natural growth. While fully appreciating the value of many of the old standard hymns (which appear in the hymn section in the larger type), we are firmly convinced that the tuneful, melodious gospel song must not be lost if we are to attract and retain the interest of young people in the service of song -- that vital factor of importance to the present and future activities of the church. With a reasonable number of new songs, together with many of the popular modern favorites, we have herein included a large number of the most famous hymns and tunes of the church -- a combination of both new and old songs that will admirably serve each and every department of the church work and worship. - Preface.

Download or read book The Pharisee Philosophy written by Robin Liebe and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010-03-28 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They say history repeats itself as there are philosophies that serve as the undercurrent for particular beliefs and behaviors rooted not only in a culture, but are also quietly passed onto another culture. At some point the under riding philosophy will again surface, resulting in history repeating itself. Jesus came to walk among the poor, the prostitutes and the lost, bringing them dignity, healing, and forgiveness. Not only those in the world, but many inside the four walls of the church wonder why Christians of today aren't following the footsteps of Jesus. If you're not ready to serve others, you're not ready to serve Christ. Jesus is looking for elemental, childlike faith, not religious rules. The world doesn't care about your title; they just want love, acceptance and dignity. Are you living out of Jesus' philosophy or the Pharisee philosophy?
