Download or read book God s Blueprints written by John McKelvie Whitworth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Viewing the world with abhorrence, members of utopian sects isolate themselves from its influence. As this book, first published in 1975, shows, they seek to establish and promulgate radically distinctive forms of society according to what they claim to be God’s blueprint and which they believe are destined by his intervention and their example to spread throughout the world. Rooted in the sociology of religion and more particularly in the concepts of sectarianism and communitarianism, this study presents an analysis of three sects: the Shakers; the Oneida Community; and the Bruderhof. The author examines the origins, religious conceptions, social structure and composition, modes of social control, and development of each group; and in a concluding chapter he discusses the utopian sect as a distinctive social form.

Download or read book DEVOTED TO GOD written by Sinclair B. Ferguson and published by Banner of Truth. This book was released on 2016-10-05 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians are transformed by the renewing of their minds. They understand that in large measure how they think about the gospel will determine how they will live for God's glory. They learn to allow the word of God to do its own work, informing and influencing the way they think in order to shape the way they live. In a series of Scripture-enriched chapters Sinclair B. Ferguson's Devoted to God works out this principle in detail. It provides what he describes as 'blueprints for sanctification'an orderly exposition of central New Testament passages on holiness. Devoted to God thus builds a strong and reliable structural framework for practical Christian living. It stresses the foundational importance of fundamental issues such as union with Christ, the rhythms of spiritual growth, the reality of spiritual conflict, and the role of God's law.

Download or read book The Bible Blueprint written by Joe Paprocki and published by Loyola Press. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A highly informative yet fun approach to understanding the world's all-time best-selling book It's pretty hard to build a house if you don't know how to read a blueprint. In the same way, it's difficult to develop your faith if you don't know how to read the Bible—or are reluctant even to open it. In The Bible Blueprint, best-selling author and popular speaker Joe Paprocki cleverly uses a blueprint metaphor to help Catholics gain a solid understanding of the structure and organization of the Bible, and to help them build confidence in navigating its pages. Among other topics, Paprocki covers the different genres of biblical writing, key figures in biblical history, and the methods Catholics rely on to interpret the Bible. Readers are also shown how to consult commentaries, concordances, and other valuable tools of Bible study to deepen their understanding of God's Word. Witty cartoons, sidebars, and quizzes throughout the book keep the tone fun and engaging; eight perforated Bible bookmarks are bound into the book. For the large number of Catholics who have never felt comfortable with the Scriptures, and for any Catholic new to the faith, The Bible Blueprint serves as an effective, nonthreatening introduction to God's Word, as well as a gateway to a deeper relationship with Christ.

Download or read book Blueprint in Bedlam written by Kent DelHousaye and published by Deep River Books LLC. This book was released on 2014-05 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you believe that everything matters... including, and especially, you? We live in a world that tells us everything is a cosmic accident and nothing has ultimate meaning. But God's Word says otherwise. The Bible tells us God made everyone and everything with thoughtful care, and He has a master plan for all of it. In Blueprint in Bedlam: God's Plan Amid the Chaos, author and pastor Kent DelHousaye makes a compelling case that the most foundational chapters in the Bible are the first three chapters of Genesis, for the simple reason that they tell us who and why we are. Within the context of the creation story, each of us can discover meaning and significance for even the smallest details of our lives. DelHousaye directs us to the genesis-the beginning-where we are introduced to God's intentions, or blueprints, for the world. He shows us where things went wrong. And he illuminates God's plans to heal and restore everything to his original design. Do you long to wrap your mind and heart around the truth about God's divine plan for the world and everything in it? Do you wonder what God expects for your life, your family, your friends, your vocation, and your future? It's time to reclaim the foundational truth that has been widely discarded. You are made in the image of God. You have tremendous value. And you exist for a divinely appointed purpose.

Download or read book Missional Motherhood written by Gloria Furman and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's no such thing as “just” a mom. Despite the routine tasks and mundane to-do lists, motherhood is anything but insignificant. God has designed motherhood as part of his greater plan to draw people to himself—instilling all women, whether called to traditional mothering or not, with an eternal purpose in nurturing others. In this book, Gloria Furman searches the Scriptures for the mission of God in motherhood. She opens our eyes to God's life-giving promises—promises intended to empower each and every woman as she makes disciples in her home, in her neighborhood, and around the world.

Download or read book The Blueprints of God written by Roberta Hill and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible is loaded with many blueprints and intricate designs that form very detailed schematics in the universal languages of science and math. It is interesting and somewhat perplexing that many people are not taught to read the Bible from this higher level of understanding. It is the scientific and mathematical language that explains God's universe in a way that is clearly irrefutable proof as to the truth of God's Word. To read the Bible from just strictly a literal point of view is likened to a child that is just learning to read books for the first time, although the child is learning the basics of reading the words they still do not understand the more complex examples of allegory, metaphors and the more complex symbolic undertones within the stories. Reading the Bible from the symbolic level helps us to gain a better understanding of the stories in the Bible, and perhaps the most valuable symbolic way of reading the Bible is to look at everything from a scientific and mathematical perspective. Science and math can not lie and are the most direct proof to show Divine design. This book shows many of the scientific and mathematical blueprints hidden within the Bible. This book is based on years of research and the many discoveries that I made along the way. I reveal the 24 tone Solfeggio scale and how to use these tones to raise the vibratory rate of the Earth.

Download or read book A Blueprint for Discipleship written by Kevin M. Watson and published by Discipleship Resources. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do no harm. Do good. Practice the spiritual disciplines. Watch over one another in love. --John Wesley's General Rules Why is this so hard? Does being a part of the Wesleyan tradition make any difference in living out your faith? Does Methodism offer guidance as we look to the future and seek renewal? Methodist Christians sometimes exhibit the most unchristian attitudes and behavior. People notice. And it's reflecting badly on the church, but we can--individually and collectively--correct the problem. Allow God to enter more deeply into your life until it's hard to tell where you end and God begins. "Most American Christians are struggling to practice their faith," Watson writes. "...Methodists can hold on and try not to let our tradition die, but mere survival is not God's deepest desire for us or the church. Instead, we must choose to live by stubbornly depending on God's Spirit, allowing our lives to give witness to who Christ is." A Blueprint for Discipleship offers a practical approach to Christian discipleship that's distinctly Wesleyan. Watson addresses the overwhelming desire of many Methodist Christians who want a more meaningful relationship with God but aren't sure how to start. Reawaken to the power and vitality of your spiritual heritage. Repent of apathy and spiritual complacency to reclaim, in the words of Wesley, "the form and power of godliness."
