Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it look like when someone feels called to do something that doesn’t make sense? It depends on who you ask. To the one doing it, it seems like the only choice. To those looking on from the outside, it may look admirable, a little on the crazy side or bordering on insanity. This is the true story of one couple who knew that calling as they became unwittingly involved in the life of a stranger, a sweet old man named George who landed on their porch in the midst of a heart attack. Despite any real plan, Linda and Bobby answered a gentle nudge from God. As they surrendered, God perfectly orchestrated everything, allowing them all to receive a lifetime of living and loving in just eight months. When it was all over, they were unable to imagine anything more beautiful than the lifelong blessings they received. And then one last unexpected blessing came to light, which God used to open the eyes of those looking on from the outside.

Book excerpt: I determined to write a devotional biography. In no sense is this volume a critical analysis of the man's theology or his actions. Instead, it is the account of an Allegheny mountain farmboy with a limited education and a severe physical handicap who promised God the only thing he had to offer: obedience. Each experience in Dr. Ketcham's life reinforced the principle that obedience is all God expects from anyone. The story of Robert Thomas Ketchum is the story of God's sufficient grace in the life of His obedient servant. Thus, the message of this volume is simple: God rewards obedience. As a historian, I was captivated by the manner in which Dr. Ketcham's life was rooted in the history of fundamentalism. In order to portray him correctly, I felt it important to show some of the conflicts within the Northern Baptist Convention. It also seemed necessary to present briefly the development and decline of the Baptist Bible Union, a movement in which Dr. Ketcham was deeply involved. Finally, since in many respects the story of his life is the story of the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches, some history of the Association has also been included. Dr. Ketcham was a vital part of the history of the Baptist fundamentalist movement. He was by no means the only figure, but he was an important figure. His life was devoted to the defense of biblical Christianity. It is my prayer that this volume might help the reader achieve a more complete understanding of fundamentalism in its historic context. - Preface.

Book excerpt: If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. – John 15:10 God will not honor the person who is not obedient. For us to have favor with God, obedience is of utmost importance. To obey is better than sacrifice (1 Samuel 15:22). This is evident from the very beginning of the Bible to the very end: Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have a right to the tree of life (Revelation 22:14). From Paradise lost to Paradise regained, the necessity for obedience remains the same. It is only obedience that restores access to the tree of life and favor with God. While the original disobedience was the cause of humanity's fall, through the obedience of Christ to the Father, and through our obedience to Christ, we can once again be restored. Although he was the Son of God, yet he learned obedience by the things which he suffered; and being made perfect, he became the author of eternal saving health unto all those that hearken unto him (Hebrews 5:8-9). Let this study awaken in you an earnest desire to fully know God’s will concerning this truth. Let us unite in praying that the Holy Spirit will show us how defective the Christian’s life is in which obedience does not rule everything. Let us desire to learn how that life can be exchanged for one of full surrender to absolute obedience, and how certain it is that God, through Christ, will enable us to live it out.

Download or read book A Portrait of Obedience Book Study Elizabeth Anne Jones written by Linda K. Strohecker and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-03-11 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the ways many people find their way to faith is through a story. Stories are treasures for those seeking and searching for inspiration. There are some people brought up in church who are familiar with stories of God and Jesus, and others who find concepts of faith to be foreign and intangible. Perhaps they see God as a fairy tale or something that some people need, but not they themselves. There are people who have accepted and believed stories from the Bible as children, those who learn as young adults, and those who are still wondering and pondering what it means to believe in God. Stories have a way of opening up our eyes and hearts to things we may not typically consider due to our own life experiences. Seeing the world through the lens of another allows us to ask questions, learn, encounter new ideas, and maybe even find a lost treasure of faith. A Portrait of Obedience is a story for all of these individuals. In its pages, a reader has the opportunity to revisit, strengthen, or perhaps for the first time see and understand for themselves, what faith is, who Jesus is, what the Bible says, and how life looks when faith is lived out. A Portrait of Obedience Book Study is a companion for those readers who want to allow the story to take on a more personal level—readers who want to reflect on what the story means to them and to their life. This book study allows a reader to ask questions, dig deeper, learn, grow, and discover truth for themselves. This study can be done individually or in groups to allow for more intimate discussion and discovery.
Download or read book Stumbling Toward Obedience written by David R. Hawkins and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus demonstrated complete submission to the Father's will to the point of His confident assertion, "I always do those things that please My Father" (John 8:29). He gave Himself in humility at Calvary to satisfy God's wrath against all sin, as well as all sinners, and declared from the cross, "It is finished." He then experienced death but rose in victory over death, thus proving His claims to divinity and giving to all His spiritual descendants resurrection power for daily living. So what is to be our response to all Christ Jesus is and all that He has suffered and accomplished on our behalf? What should be our life's focus, our objective, our agenda, and our passion? Obedience to the things our Lord and Savior has commanded. Obedience is our duty, to be sure, but it is more than that. It is the way we express our thanksgiving for what Christ has done for us. It is gratefulness lived out on a daily basis. This kind of living involves a consistent orientation toward laying aside personal or selfish desires and agendas that bring us temporal gratification. Instead, we embrace what Jesus Christ tells us to do: to proclaim the gospel of hope to those who know it not. This is the highest expression of gratefulness from a life made new by the living Lord. Your culture, your communities, your friends, your co-workers, and your family members need to hear a word from God. You and I are the delivery persons for God's message. We are the spokespersons for the gospel of Jesus Christ! We are the ones to whom God has said, "Arise, go to Nineveh." Our Nineveh, dear people of God, is the lost people around us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Connect with God Obedience is not the most popular word in our vocabulary. We live in a society that is constantly battling the system, fighting for what we want. We’re primarily concerned with how the rules inconvenience us, and we’re looking to see what we can get away with. Obedience is much more than following rules; it’s a state of the heart. By missing this truth, we miss the power of complete obedience. Discover how obedience to God’s plan will put you in the center of His will! Andrew Murray explores the love behind God’s demands and the grace that makes it possible for us to obey. The blessing of complete obedience is your intimate connection with a loving, protective heavenly Father who desires more than anything to give you a rich and fulfilling life.

Book excerpt: Untamed Obedience Obedience is the love song of the church. Therefore, your obedience is not optional. Jesus commands it, and your life, family, church, and city need it. There are giants to fight, injustices to defeat, and the lost to save. God is looking to impact the world and your obedience is the tool in which He crafts it. Untamed Obedience is an invitation to transformation. Each chapter focuses on a different command of Jesus for us to obey. From sharing the Gospel to baptism and from healing to giving, Untamed Obedience is a call to "simple devotion to Christ" (2 Corinthians 11:3). Obedience to Jesus is a fitting response for the Christian. When we obey Him, we walk with Him. Untamed Obedience is comprised of stories illustrating God using someone's obedience to transform and impact history. In Untamed Obedience, Adam Shepski illustrates chapter by chapter, how to: Walk out your identity as a Christian Obediently follow the commands of Jesus Live in the power of the Holy Spirit Rediscover the adventure and joy of seeking God Endorsements: "This book is a vital read for anyone longing for more intimacy, depth and direction in their relationships with God, period." - Trevor McNeven - Thousand Foot Krutch "Untamed Obedience" is a juicy piece of literature that will sneak up on you and surprise you with the goodness of God. I enjoyed so many of the real life examples of the Kingdom of God breaking into people's lives when there is a YES in their hearts. Get ready to be challenged, equipped, and encouraged to live in freedom and obedience. As you read this book you can expect the supernatural power of the Gospel to become much more natural and expected in your day-to-day life. Now is the time to get free of the dead works of religiosity and fall deeper in love with a God who has supplied everything you need to live a life fully in love, fully alive to Christ, and dead to sin. Now is the time for "Untamed Obedience!" - T.J Green - Voice of Revival "Have you ever gotten to the end of a book and wished it kept going? For me, this was that book! Adam weaves his fun and light-hearted style with challenging stories and practical strategies that really make you reflect on your walk with Jesus. I believe this book will challenge the apathy that loves to attach itself to your Christian walk and in the process inspire you to new levels of authentic action. Adam makes it clear that Untamed Obedience is the only path to the Jesus lifestyle we long to experience. Whoever you are, wherever you're from - start this journey today!" - Gabriel Jackson - United Hive Founder Adam's first book Untamed Obedience is one birthed through a life lived out. I have ministered alongside Adam as well as spent time with him and his family and I can tell you he is the real deal! Every word he writes on these pages is lived out in a lifestyle of true surrender to the King of a powerful and wonderful Kingdom. Filled with truth from scripture and inspirational stories from ordinary, everyday disciples of Jesus, Untamed Obedience will leave you rethinking your own life of obedience and discipleship. If you want to remain unchanged, put the book down now. As I like to say, Jesus has called us to an obedient life, not a comfortable one. If you're ready to get out of your comfort zone and know the blessing of obedience, then read on! - Lyndal Walker -Youth for Christ International Prayer Director

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1899 edition. Excerpt: ... 'Through the obedience of the One shall the many be made righteous'; or Phil. ii. 8, 'He became obedient unto death, therefore God hath highly exalted Him'; or Heb. v. 8, 9, 'He learned obedience and became the Author of salvation to them that obey Him? and you see how the whole redemption of Christ consists in restoring obedience to its place. The beauty of His salvation consists in this, that He brings us back to the life of obedience, through which alone the creature can give the Creator the glory due to Him, or receive the glory of which his Creator desires to make him partaker. Paradise, Calvary, Heaven, all proclaim with one voice: 'Child of God! the first and the last thing thy God asks of thee is simple, universal, unchanging obedience.' II. LET US TURN TO THE OLD TESTAMENT. Here let us specially notice how, with any new beginning in the history of God's kingdom, obedience always comes into special prominence. 1. Take Noah, the new father of the human race, and you will find four times written (Gen. vi. 22; vii. 5, 9, 16), 'According to all that God commanded Noah, so did he.' It is the man who does what God commands, to whom God can entrust His work, whom God can use to be a savior of men. 2. Think of Abraham, the father of the chosen race. 'By faith Abraham obeyed' (Heb. xi. 7). When he had been forty years in this school of faith=obedience, God came to perfect his faith, and to crown it with His fullest blessing. Nothing could fit him for this but a crowning act of obedience. When he had bound his son on the altar, God came and said (Gen. xxii. 12, 18), 'By Myself have I sworn, in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thee; and in thy seed shall all nations be blessed, because thou hast obeyed My...

Book excerpt: “With superb confidence, Lavender constructs a brilliant fictional web of lies, inventively warping the psychological thriller to fit the confines of a scholarly investigation.” —Kirkus Reviews When the students in Winchester University’s Logic and Reasoning 204 arrive for their first day of class, they are greeted not with a syllabus or texts, but with a startling assignment from Professor Williams: Find a hypothetical missing girl named Polly. If after being given a series of clues and details the class has not found her before the end of the term in six weeks, she will be murdered. At first the students are as intrigued by the premise of their puzzle as they are wary of the strange and slightly creepy Professor Williams. But as they delve deeper into the mystery, they begin to wonder: Is the Polly story simply a logic exercise, designed to teach them rational thinking skills, or could it be something more sinister and dangerous? The mystery soon takes over the lives of three students as they find disturbing connections between Polly and themselves. Characters that were supposedly fictitious begin to emerge in reality. Soon, the boundary between the classroom assignment and the real world becomes blurred—and the students wonder if it is their own lives they are being asked to save. From the Hardcover edition.
