We are all exposed to a wide diversity of popular ideologies, political agendas, economic pressures, and cultural viewpoints. In the end, we must each decide what to believe. We must choose the actions that will shape our destinies. As we act, we expect outcomes that will lead to happiness and success. The grand decision: The biggest decision we make is whether to go with the flow of the society around us or to look to some higher purpose to guide us. We have the opportunity to include God in the conversation and to trust in His plan. As we believe in God, we must also determine that we actually believe God. A divine design: As we discover the truths of our existence, we recognize the reality of a divine design that influences our lives. Faith enters in and our sense of purpose grows stronger.--Back cover.

Download or read book You Bet Your Life written by Paul Ernst and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-04-03 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is for the benefit of the modern skeptic that is open to possibly re-thinking their position and for Christians who have friends and family looking for a rational way out of their unbelief. The book starts with the indisputable: someday you are going to die. The question is, what's next? Since one's eternal state is forever, the thoughtful person should seek to obtain the best possible outcome. At one time religious traditions informed us about our fate, but the secular person has been cut off from traditional answers. One is left with the nihilism of scientific materialism or an irrational leap into mysticism. But perhaps today's most common alternative is to distract oneself with things of the world-entertainment, achievement, etc. At the beginning of the Enlightenment, the French mathematician Blaise Pascal noticed similar tendencies in affluent Paris. He was outraged that his friends would be so reckless with their souls. Framing his plea against the backdrop of Pascal's famous Wager, author Paul Ernst takes the reader through the cumulative case that a group of men and woman 2000 years ago were not merely pre-scientific and gullible, but were shaped by an event that would cause them to reject their own beliefs and give up everything for what they knew to be true. The early chapters are about establishing a method for evaluating truth claims and evidence. As most people do not have a clearly thought out worldview, Ernst lays out a simple but unexpectedly robust map for thinking about philosophical systems. The worldviews of Naturalism, Theism and Eastern Pantheism are set out so that the reader might be able to better identify their own faith commitments. At the same time Ernst exposes the myth of "neutrality" concerning ultimate ideas. The next part of the book lays out the case for a Being like the Judeo-Christian God from the evidence of the natural world. The Kalam Cosmological Argument as set forth by Dr. William Lane Craig and the design inference of Dr. William Dembsky are made accessible to the general reader. Ernst then sets up the plausibility of the claims of the earliest Christians with a defense of miracles based on C. S. Lewis's refutation of skeptic David Hume and the pretensions and limitations of modern science. The specific claims of the New Testament are examined using sound historical methodology based on what most 1st century historians, and not theologians, actually believe. Jesus' claims of deity are examined against a 1st century Jewish backdrop-the only one with the proper context. The resurrection of Jesus far exceeds any naturalistic explanation for basic facts believed by the majority of scholars. After the positive evidence, Ernst deals with classic objections to Theistic belief-such as the problem of evil, the hiddenness of God and alleged falsehoods in the Bible. There is solid defense of the Bible as God's revelation that makes its case based on the Bible's own internal evidence without resorting to circular reasoning. The author details his own hard-fought intellectual journey against doubt and his own anti-supernatural presuppositions. This is contrasted with the path taken by the famous atheist Antony Flew who likewise found the evidence compelling but never came to faith. The author believes Flew lacked the desire for eternal life. Ernst candidly admits that a fear of judgment and the dread of nonexistence were central for him, as they should be for all. In the final chapters, the love of God is demonstrated through his gracious offer to all his creatures and examples are given as to what it means to trust God. The book finishes with what Jesus' followers say is the way to secure eternal life.

Download or read book You Bet Your Life written by Neil D. Isaacs and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are a nation of gamblers: pari-mutuel wagering at horse tracks; blackjack in Las Vegas; the NCAA basketball office pool; even day trading on the internet. Gambling is both our national pastime and our predominant cultural metaphor -- play the field; beat the odds; take a chance on love. Yet gambling poses serious risks to individuals and to society as a whole. Neil Isaacs -- sports historian, licensed clinical social worker, English professor, and a gambler himself for more than fifty years -- seeks to shatter the myths interfering with our understanding of gambling addiction, its causes, and its treatment. He begins by systematically debunking several commonly held beliefs, demonstrating that there is no such thing as the law of averages, that gambling is not inherently sinful, immoral, or criminal, and that money is not always the prime motivator for gamblers. Isaacs shows how habitual gambling can lead to compulsive gambling, but avoids oversimplifying this condition. Arguing against a undifferentiated interpretation of pathological gambling as a simple impulse control disorder, he draws examples from fiction, film, and his own practice to demonstrate additional ways gambling can be abused. A radical departure from established views, You Bet Your Life identifies the costs -- in dollars, people, families, and credit ratings -- of society's failure to address adequately the burdens of gambling.

Download or read book Epidemic of Joy written by Randal Earl Denny and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2007-05-01 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Randal Denny began a devotional study in the Book of Acts with 'Do It Again, Lord' (Acts 1Ð4), 'Where the Action Is' (Acts 5Ð8), 'Wind in the Rigging' (Acts 9Ð12), and continued it with this volume. This book is about joy, a certain kind of joy that comes from deep down inside--the joy of the new life in Christ. E. Stanley Jones noted, ÒA strange, sober joy went across that sad and decaying world--joy that goodness was here for the asking, that moral victory was possible now, that guilt could be lifted from the stricken conscience, that inner conflict could be resolved . . . and that a fellowship of like-souled persons gave one a sense of belonging. It was Good News. And it worked! Acts 13 through 16, the scope of this study, traces the beginnings of that Òepidemic of joy, which spread so rapidly and so extensively that it has reached us today.
