Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Mission is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exist because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate.' John Piper's contemporary classic draws on key biblical texts to demonstrate that worship is the ultimate goal of the church and that proper worship fuels missionary outreach. Piper offers a biblical defence of God's supremacy in all things, providing a sound theological foundation for missions. He examines whether Jesus is the only way to salvation and issues a passionate plea for God-centredness in the missionary enterprise, seeking to define the scope of the task and the means for reaching 'all nations'. Let the Nations Be Glad! is a trusted resource for missionaries, pastors, church leaders, youth workers, seminary students, and all who want to connect their labours to God's global purposes. This third edition has been revised and expanded throughout and includes new material on the 'prosperity gospel'.
Download or read book Bringing the Gospel Home written by Randy Newman and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2011-04-07 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sharing the gospel with a family member can be an exciting experience—and often a long, painful, and confrontational one. Randy Newman recognizes it can be more difficult and frustrating to witness to a family member than to nearly anyone else. In Bringing the Gospel Home, he delivers practical, holistic strategies to help average Christians engage family members and others on topics of faith. A messianic Jew who has led several family members to Christ, Newman urges Christians to look to the Bible before they evangelize. He writes, "a richer understanding of biblical truth, I have found, can provide a firmer foundation for bold witness and clear communication." After a brief introduction on the nature of family, he delves into discussions of grace, truth, love, humility, and time. He also addresses issues related to eternity and end-of-life conversations. Bringing the Gospel Home will help any Christian as he seeks to guide loved ones into God's family.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We hear the word "Gospel" all the time - Gospel music, Gospel missions, Prosperity Gospel, and more. But for all our familiarity with the "Gospel," it's surprising how much confusion there is about what that message really is. And because eternities depend on it, it's desperately important that we get it right. In his new e-book, Bringing Back the Gospel: Uncut, Unencumbered, Uncompromised!, Ron Hutchcraft answers the following questions: What is the Gospel? Why is it so important to get "The Gospel" right? What are the ways we add to, subtract, miss, or distort the Gospel? Why is this message so significant for every believer? "We have in this Gospel from God the information on which eternities depend. We cannot and must not fail to deliver it. Uncut, Unencumbered, Uncompromised."
Download or read book The Joy of the Gospel written by Pope Francis and published by Image. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth. Includes a foreword by Robert Barron, author of Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith and James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage
Download or read book How to Reach the West Again written by Timothy J Keller and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity is declining in the West. Churches in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe are closing their doors at an accelerating rate. How will the church respond? In this short but sweeping manifesto, New York Times bestselling author and pastor Timothy Keller argues that this decline should prompt us to rethink evangelism from the ground up. Using the early church as our guide, churches and individual Christians must examine ourselves, our culture, and Scripture to work toward a new missionary encounter with Western culture that will make the gospel both attractive and credible to a new generation.
Download or read book Rediscover Church written by Collin Hansen and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2021-07-28 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Christian without a church is a Christian in trouble." Since a global pandemic abruptly closed places of worship, many Christians have skipped church life, even neglecting virtual services. But this was a trend even before COVID-19. Polarizing issues, including political and racial strife, convinced some people to pull away from the church and one another. Now it's time to recommit to gathering as brothers and sisters in Christ. In Rediscover Church, Collin Hansen and Jonathan Leeman discuss why church is essential for believers and God's mission. Through biblical references and personal stories, they show readers God's true intention for corporate gathering: to spiritually strengthen members as individuals and the body of Christ. In an age of church-shopping and livestreamed services, rediscover why the future of the church relies on believers gathering regularly as the family of God. Published in partnership with the Gospel Coalition and 9Marks.

Download or read book Bringing Christ Back written by Harold Ewing Burchett and published by Bringing Christ Back Ministries. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing Christ Back is a priceless and practical theology desperately needed by the modern church to drag it out of its doldrums—far too many of its “average” believers are finding no release from agonizing chains of sin. Its knife-edged message is that the powerful presence of Christ seems to be withdrawn from the church as crucial truths about our Lord are reduced to common platitudes. When Christ is brought back as the center of faith in fact, not just in theory, believers will experience his deliverance from sin through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Download or read book The Abandoned Gospel written by Odubote David Ololade and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-04-04 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Christ Jesus."(1 Cor. 3:11)This book is not a new move, nor laying a new foundation in the Kingdom. It is a book inspired to bring us back to the laid down landmark that has long been neglected, rejected and abandoned as irrelevant and as non issue today. This old landmark set by the fathers is very crucial and fundamental to our Christian faith. And also it is the present Truth needed for our readiness and preparation for the return of Jesus Christ tomorrow. But unfortunately, this landmark has been changed, by the end-time fathers to set their own. Tomorrow begins today, hence the necessity and the timely requirement of this book for adequate preparation now for His return.It is a widely known and accepted truth that the end-time Church of Christ has lost its salt and original beauty to become dumb and deaf for nonchalant attitude. But the Church, the leaders and the members are crying for reformation and a shift in the present order, as if this reformation is in heaven and seeking who will bring it down for us to hear and do. Moses clearly stated in his book, "But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it." (Deut. 30:11-13)Meaning the shift and reformation we cry for is very much with us but neglected, rejected and abandoned by all.Rev. Sam Aiyedogbon of Realm of Glory, Lagos was a Guest Minister to the 2006 National Convention of First Love Assembly Port Harcourt. I was in one of his teachings titled "Moving from Elementary to Everlasting Power". As soon as he called the anchor Scripture, Heb 6:1-6, read and began to speak, I was immediately cut off into a different spirit environment by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit began to translate the short Scripture and the introduction he made into a dictation of the scripts of this book, " The Abandoned Gospel", like what happened to Prophet Ezekiel in the book of Ezekiel chapter 8:1-3.The unexplainable experience of that day was very unique that I knew God was on a mission to communicate the burden of His heart concerning His Church to the world. He needed a rebirth of His Church from the present order. But the first step to this rebirth is the revival of the long abandoned and missing fathers' old landmark the present truth (Repentance). This is fundamentally important to the return of His Son and the growth of His kingdom. The prompting in my spirit to write the scripts into a book from that moment became very strong, yet I left the outline where I ended it that day undeveloped. Why? I could not see myself as one of the right candidates for this mission of reformation, like Prophet Jeremiah. (Jer. 1:4-12).CLEAR REVELATIONOn Sunday 4th Feb. 2007, I had a very clear revelation that confirmed to me that God is actually giving me a responsibility which I refuse to take. In a dream, I saw an old aged man in white apparel with all the hairs on his head and beard as white as snow, seated on a high golden chair in a Church. On his neck was a gold plated pendant with inscription 3/2. He called me, touched my forehead, started robbing it with his finger tip and said 'channel' several times, and muttering some other words which was not very clear to me. When robbing my forehead, I discovered its bone was very soft like the thigh flesh. And wonder how the bone was soft like flesh. I then asked him what he said which I did not hear clearly. Then the assistant that was standing by Him said, "He said, Mathew 3:2, go and write and preach."Mathew 3:2 says "Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand"The challenge and the burden in the heart of God for this moment is the decay that is evidently clear and seen in the Church, and the world today, hence the need for a genuine repentance in the Church and the world at large"Whom shall I send, And who will go for us"? (Isaiah 6:8)

Download or read book The Great Enterprise from a Reformed Perspective written by Jason N. Bolt and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-06-08 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thoroughly God-centric and Bible-saturated, this book is a plea for the church and her missionaries to return to the biblical mandate and prescription for missionary activity. In God's infinite wisdom, he has determined to ransom men from among every tribe, tongue, people, and nation through the proclamation of the gospel. This is the greatest enterprise ever undertaken in human history, and it will culminate in success. God will see to it. The church has a principal role to play in the enterprise, but that role is not one of global philanthropy. The modern view of missionary activity has robbed missionaries of the authority to preach the gospel and has left the nations wanting of the joy of salvation . . . but there is yet time. The modern church may still find great success in the spread of the gospel to the remotest part of the earth. All that is necessary is that we would seek the revealed will of God in the Scriptures and put into practice that which it requires.
Download or read book Ready to Return written by Britt Beemer and published by New Leaf Publishing Group. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having grown up in church, an alarming percentage of people have now traded in the timeless beliefs of Scripture for a more comfortable, postmodern faith or secular worldview. They have waded so deep into the culture that the current has swept them away with the pluralism of biblical compromise and secular indoctrination. Ready to Return explores: Why this is happening, and more importantly, what can be done about it to help bring back a godly generation New persuasive research that clearly reveals shocking details about views on the Church and faith by people in their 20s, known as millennials Conclusive evidence we cannot ignore, showing a lack of effective biblical apologetics in homes and churches, compromise with secular beliefs, secular education, and failures on the part of previous generations, contributes greatly to this dilemma. Within these pages is more than just a clinical diagnosis of the Church’s current condition and how we got here. It’s a simple and powerful call to return to the Church’s fundamental mission to reach the world! If we are to bring back this lost generation, we need a proven strategy and willingness to present truth, a biblical battle plan, and spiritual soldiers.
