Download or read book Communicating God s Word in a Complex World written by Daniel R. Shaw and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2003-08-04 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communicating God's Word in a Complex World reaches out to the growing number of missionaries, pastors, Bible translators and teachers, mission and theological educators and students dealing with communicating the gospel. This is increasingly difficult in today's pluralist and global contexts. What was God's message, and how has spreading that message changed through the generations? The answer to that question requires a hermeneutical process that seeks to understand the biblical text and the context in which it was originally presented. R. Daniel Shaw and Charles Van Engen say that contemporary proclaimers of God's word can model their approach after that of the writers of scripture, who reinterpreted and restated their received texts for their audiences. Thus, Gospel communication is impacted by the way humans know God. This, in turn, is informed by contexts. Communicating God's Word in a Complex World draws lessons from the biblical authors themselves as a guide for how best to present God's message.
Download or read book Cold Case Christianity written by J. Warner Wallace and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

Book excerpt: The Scriptures are the glasses by which we bring the world into focus. When we look through the glasses of Scripture, we see God and his world and his people and ourselves more clearly. There are some things, especially about God, that we would never see at all without the Scriptures. There are many things about the world, others and ourselves that we would see in a completely distorted fashion without the glasses. The word of God changes our perspective. Each week for the last few years, internationally renowned preacher and evangelist, Phillip Jensen, has written a short essay for the congregations he serves at St Andrew's Anglican Cathedral in Sydney, about living in God's world, from the perspective of God's word.

Download or read book No More Faking Fine written by Esther Fleece Allen and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scripture reveals a God who meets us where we are, not where we pretend to be. No More Faking Fine is your invitation to get honest with God through the life-giving language of lament. If you've ever been given empty clichés during challenging times, you know how painful it is to be misunderstood by well-meaning people. When life hurts, we often feel pressure--from others and ourselves--to keep it together, suck it up, or pray it away. But Scripture reveals a God who lovingly invites us to give honest voice to our emotions when life hits hard. For most of her life, Esther Fleece Allen believed she could bypass the painful emotions of her broken past by shutting them down altogether. She was known as an achiever and an overcomer on the fast track to success. But in silencing her pain, she robbed herself of the opportunity to be healed. Maybe you've done the same. Esther's journey into healing began when she discovered that God has given us a real-world way to deal with raw emotions and an alternative to the coping mechanisms that end up causing more pain. It's called lament--the gut-level, honest prayer that God never ignores, never silences, and never wastes. No More Faking Fine is your permission to lament, taking you on a journey down the unexpected pathway to true intimacy with God. Drawing from careful biblical study and hard-won insight, Esther reveals how to use God's own language to come closer to him as he leads us through our pain to the light on the other side, teaching you that: We are robbing ourselves of a divine mystery and a divine intimacy when we pretend to have it all together God does not expect us to be perfect; instead, he meets us where we are There is hope beyond your heartache, disappointment, and grief Like Esther, you'll soon find that when one person stops faking fine, it gives everyone else permission to do the same.
Download or read book Seeing God in HD written by Mark Moore and published by . This book was released on 2008-05-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biblical illiteracy has reached epidemic proportions even within the sanctuary of God's church. In a recent survey, many Americans were convinced that Joan of Arc was Noah's wife and the Epistles were the spouses of the Apostles. Most have no clue that the Bible contains 66 books in 3 languages spanning 1400 years. Ten out of ten people cannot even find the book of Hezekiah . . . and if you wonder why, you might just be part of the problem. Our airwaves are littered with misinformation about the Bible and no small dose of outright heresy. What's worse, most Christ followers have little ability to distinguish truth from error because they are only vaguely familiar with the Word of God. If the Bible really is the revelation of God, this appalling ignorance will inevitably have detrimental effects on the Church. How will Christians discover and implement their spiritual gifts if they are not grounded in the Word? How will beleaguered spiritual warriors send the enemy into retreat apart from the Sword of Scripture? How will shepherds feed their flocks without the meaty doctrines of the Bible? Our assemblies are bloated with the cotton candy of pop-psychology that so tickles itching ears. We have mastered the mass assembly with seeker-sensitive sermons and clever marketing strategies. Don't get me wrong, this is fantastic progress for evangelism. And frankly, if one had to choose between evangelism and edification, one should prioritize lost sheep over emaciated sheep every time. At the same time, there is no necessary reason for making such a choice given the informational and technological advances the Lord has graciously put at our disposal. That's what this book is all about. We want to offer you the methods of interpretation through technologically available information. In other words, this book will give you a college-level course in How to Interpret the Bible using nothing but your own Bible and free internet resources.
