Download or read book The Pastoral Epistles written by George W. Knight and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a thorough, full- scale English commentary on the Greek text of 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus. While author George W. Knight gives careful attention to the comments of previous interpreters of the text, both ancient and modern, his emphasis is on exegesis of the Greek text itself and on the flow of the argument in each of these three epistles. Besides providing a detailed look at the meanings and interrelationships of the Greek words as they appear in each context, Knight's commentary includes an introduction that treats at length the question of authorship (he argues for Pauline authorship and proposes, on the basis of stylistic features, that Luke might have been the amanuensis for the Pastoral Epistles), the historical background of these letters, and the personalities and circumstances of the recipients. Knight also provides two special excursuses: the first gathers together the information in the Pastorals and elsewhere in the New Testament on early church offices and leaders; the other excursus examines the motivations for conduct in Titus 2:1-10 with a view to their applicability to present-day situations.
Download or read book The Pursuit of God s Own Heart written by John E. Leon and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-06-19 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only one man in the Old Testament was given the profound description by God himself, "I have found in David...a man after my own heart" (Acts 13:22). Why? Why would God give David such a characterization? Wasn't he also a man of failure? Of contradictions? After all, today, he would provide headlines for scandal: adultery, murder, cover-up, and deception. And despite those issues, there are other pressing questions to ask: What are the qualities of one who has such a heart after God? What does that character look like? This book takes us on a journey in the life of David, discovering what God meant by such a divine inscription regarding the man who would become the greatest and most effective monarch in Israel's history. But we will also discover something greater. As we travel with David, we will soon realize there is a larger story unfolding through David's story. It's God's metanarrative, His-Story! We will find there is a deeper message from God that transcends David's life. The "key" that unlocks such a message is given to us long before David is born and spoken by God: "For those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed" (1 Sam. 2:30). As we begin to understand the meaning of this truth, we will then learn why God gave David such a description. Therefore, it is through the lens of David's life, we learn the meaning and purpose of the Christian life. Why? Because God did not intend such a divine inscription for David only but one which our heavenly Father desires to write on your heart and mine as we pursue to know him.
Download or read book All the Light We Cannot See written by Anthony Doerr and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *NOW A NETFLIX LIMITED SERIES—from producer and director Shawn Levy (Stranger Things) starring Mark Ruffalo, Hugh Laurie, and newcomer Aria Mia Loberti* Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist, the beloved instant New York Times bestseller and New York Times Book Review Top 10 Book about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II. Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris, and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the Resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge. Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” (Los Angeles Times).

Download or read book Sacred Darkness written by Paul Coutinho and published by Loyola Press. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before there was light, God was. In fact, darkness is the medium God worked in to create the world, the universe, and all material things. Certainly, God lives in the warmth of sunlight and within our happiest days--but God also dwells in darkness. In Sacred Darkness, Paul Coutinho, SJ, examines how many Christians are fearful of dark times and struggles, yet it is often darkness that sheds light on our world and helps us live more effectively and more fully in the painful situations of our lives. Throughout the book, Coutinho shares powerful stories of how darkness can empower us--from a self-destructive alcoholic, to St. Ignatius, to the author himself. Ultimately, Sacred Darkness encourages us to overcome our "fear" or the dark by exploring the legitimate role of darkness on the spiritual journey. By learning to embrace darkness rather than run from it, we can experience God's love in ways and in places where we would least expect it.

Download or read book The Gospel of the Kingdom of God written by Austin R. Dayal and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-12-28 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus preached the gospel of the kingdom of God and taught about its values throughout his ministry. All four gospels endorse this fact. The disciples continued to preach the gospel of the kingdom for two generations but during the second century things began to change and by the fourth century when Christianity became a state religion, the gospel of the kingdom of God was changed to the gospel of personal salvation. This error had a catastrophic effect on the life of the church. The early church followed the values of the kingdom Jesus outlined in the Sermon on the Mount. Whereas today, we are mainly concerned with the salvation of the soul and the importance of God’s kingdom, and its values are lost. The church must reclaim the gospel of the kingdom and follow its values, to demonstrate the beauty of the kingdom that the world may believe in Jesus.
Download or read book What did Jesus Mean written by Anna Wierzbicka and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2001-04-05 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this highly interdisciplinary work, linguist Anna Wierzbicka casts new light on the words of Jesus by taking her well-known semantic theory of "universal human concepts"- concepts which are intuitively understandable and self-explanatory across languages-and bringing it to bear on Jesus' parables and the Sermon on the Mount. Her approach results in strikingly novel interpretations of the Gospels. Written in dialogue with other biblical commentators, What Did Jesus Mean? is both scholarly rigorous yet accessible.
Download or read book Matthew 13 and the Prophetic Parables About the Present Age written by Todd Baker and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matthew chapter 13 is key to correctly understanding the specific time frame for the Second Coming and establishment of Messiah's Kingdom on earth and how the course of the present age will unfold and progress from the first coming of Christ until His return. Failure to properly understand these parables of Matthew 13 results in a failure to understand all the rest of the parables Jesus spoke after them as He so indicated in Luke 4:13. Therefore it behooves every Bible believing Christian to take serious study of the unfolding prophetic events of the present age as symbolized in the eight parables of Matthew 13. This simple exposition is a humble effort to help the Bible student and reader gain a better appreciation and understanding of this chapter as it pertains to those living in the present age as these prophetic parables are unfolding and being fulfilled right before our very eyes!
