This book was released on 2015 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project focuses on the development and implementation of a marriage enrichment program pastors' and lay personnel can utilize for the purpose of helping couples strengthen and enhance their marriages. Chapter 1 explains the purpose and goals of the project, including the methodology used to identify the eight key topics incorporated into the program. Chapter 2 begins with an exposé of the biblical basis for marriage, demonstrating how the Bible presents marriage as a sacred covenant-keeping relationship in which God joins a husband and wife into a one-flesh union for the purpose of displaying Christ's love for his church. The chapter explores how the preeminence of Christ positively impacts marriage. Emphasis is placed on what a person believes about God, and how their theological perception determines what they believe to be true about the purpose and meaning of marriage. Ultimately, what couples believe to be true about God will determine the quality of their marriages. Chapter 3 examines the distinct roles and responsibilities of husbands and wives. Four key roles of the Christian husband as a leader, longsufferer, learner, and lover are examined. Nine attributes of Christ's love for his church are discussed, including how husbands should exemplify each attribute in how they love their wives. Chapter 3 also examines the wife's role and submission. Clarification is made regarding what biblical submission looks like, including, six misconceptions regarding what submission is not. Other topics addressed include, communication, forgiveness, identifying idols of the heart, and sexual intimacy in marriage. Chapter 4 details the steps involved in conducting the marriage enrichment retreat associated with this project. Details are provided on how eight key topics were chosen and developed for the retreat. Included is a weekly breakdown of events, and a description of each of the eight sessions taught during the retreat. Chapter 5 presents an evaluation of the project in meeting the stated purpose and established goals. Strengths and weakness of the project are discussed, along with suggested improvements intended to enhance future retreats. The importance of teaching the Gospel with an emphasis on God’s mercy, grace, and forgiveness, is emphasized in the theological and personal evaluations of this project. The appendices include all supporting forms, surveys, lessons plans, and supporting data. Appendix 8 includes a copy of a research paper addressing “Divorce, Remarriage and Church Leadership.” The paper is referenced in the project, and those making difficult decisions regarding divorce, remarriage and church leadership often request copies of the paper.

Download or read book Family Discipleship written by Matt Chandler and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2020-08-28 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most important disciple a parent will make is within their own home, and yet this is the most difficult disciple to make. Family Discipleship by Matt Chandler and Adam Griffin helps readers develop a sustainable rhythm of gospel-centered discipleship through a guided framework focusing on moments of discipleship in 3 key areas: time (intentional time gathering your family around gospel activities or conversations), moments (leveraging opportunities throughout the day), and milestones (celebrating significant life events). Each section provides parents with Scriptures to consider, questions to answer, structures to implement, and ideas to try out as they seek to see Christ formed in their children. Here is a book that begins with the end in mind, offering ideas and examples of what gospel-centered family discipleship looks like, helping parents design their own discipleship plan as they seek to raise children in the love and fear of the Lord.

Download or read book The Priority of John written by John A. T. Robinson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been the fate of many books on John to be left unfinished, for its interpretation naturally forms the crowning of a lifetime. I have myself been intending to write a book on the Fourth Gospel since the 'fifties, before I broke off (reluctantly) to be Bishop of Woolwich, though I am grateful now that I did not produce it prematurely at that time. It means however that I shall be compelled to refer to and often recapitulate material directly or indirectly related to the Johannine literature, which I have written over the years (some of it indeed while I was bishop). Many scholars in fact, if not most now, think that the author of the Gospel himself never lived to finish it and have seen the work as the product of numerous hands and redactors. As will become clear, I prefer to believe that the ancient testimony of the church is correct that John wrote it 'while still in the body' and that its roughnesses, self-corrections and failures of connection, real or imagined, are the result of its not having been smoothly or finally edited. If so I am in good company. At any rate who could wish for a better last testimony from his friends than that 'his witness is true' (John 21.24)? In other words, he got it right--historically and theologically. --from the Introduction At the time of his death in December 1983, John Robinson had completed the text of the book on which his 1984 Bampton lectures were to be based, so that it is possible to see the full details of his extremely controversial argument that the Gospel of John was the first Gospel to be written. Dr. Robinson himself once described the dawning of his conviction that this was the case as a 'Damascus Road experience', and his presentation of the evidence is made with all the customary vigor with which he would argue for something in which he deeply believed. The objections which need to be overcome to stand on its head what has long been one of the fundamental assumptions of New Testament scholarship are substantial, but here once again Dr. Robinson shows that so much of what is taken as established fact in that area is no more than preference and presumption. Certainly he will provoke rethinking on a whole series of topics, from the chronology of Jesus' ministry to the nature of his teaching. As The Listener said of the equally controversial Redating the New Testament: The greatest pleasure Dr. Robinson gives is purely intellectual. His book is a prodigious virtuoso exercise in inductive reasoning and an object lesson in the nature of historical argument and historical knowledge. This sequel equals, if not excels, its predecessor in those respects and is a fitting tribute to a brilliant New Testament scholar. The manuscript was prepared for publication by Dr. Chip Coakley, Dr Robinson's pupil, now Lecturer in Religious Studies in the University of Lancaster.

Book excerpt: Why am I here? What is God's call in my life? How do I fit God's call with my own individuality?

Download or read book Encyclopedia of the World s Endangered Languages written by Christopher Moseley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-03-10 with total page 946 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concern for the fast-disappearing language stocks of the world has arisen particularly in the past decade, as a result of the impact of globalization. This book appears as an answer to a felt need: to catalogue and describe those languages, making up the vast majority of the world's six thousand or more distinct tongues, which are in danger of disappearing within the next few decades. Endangerment is a complex issue, and the reasons why so many of the world's smaller, less empowered languages are not being passed on to future generations today are discussed in the book's introduction. The introduction is followed by regional sections, each authored by a notable specialist, combining to provide a comprehensive listing of every language which, by the criteria of endangerment set out in the introduction, is likely to disappear within the next few decades. These languages make up ninety per cent of the world's remaining language stocks. Each regional section comprises an introduction that deals with problems of language preservation peculiar to the area, surveys of known extinct languages, and problems of classification. The introduction is followed by a list of all known languages within the region, endangered or not, arranged by genetic affiliation, with endangered and extinct languages marked. This listing is followed by entries in alphabetical order covering each language listed as endangered. Useful maps are provided to pinpoint the more complex clusters of smaller languages in every region of the world. The Encyclopedia therefore provides in a single resource: expert analysis of the current language policy situation in every multilingual country and on every continent, detailed descriptions of little-known languages from all over the world, and clear alphabetical entries, region by region, of all the world's languages currently thought to be in danger of extinction. The Encyclopedia of the World’s Endangered Languages will be a necessary addition to all academic linguistics collections and will be a useful resource for a range of readers with an interest in development studies, cultural heritage and international affairs.
