Book excerpt: According to George Barna, uncovering God's vision for your ministry is not an option. It's essential for the most productive ministry that will accomplish God's goals for building his kingdom. Ministry leaders with a clear picture from God of where they are headed are much more likely to experience a successful journey. In this book, Barna uncovers how God has shared his vision throughout history, how vision is different from mission, common practices and beliefs that inhibit true vision, practical steps toward experiencing and carrying out God's unique vision for them, and ways to share and promote congregational ownership of the vision.The Power of Vision
Download or read book Half Blind with Full Vision written by David Espinoza and published by E-Booktime, LLC. This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raised in a poverty lifestyle, as a five-year-old boy, I was traumatized due to a life-changing accident. I was later confined to a hospital bed at St. Anthony's Hospital in Amarillo, Texas. I lost half of my eyesight, but that was only the beginning of my challenging experiences. Growing up was a living nightmare as I discovered how lonely life could be. Kids made fun of my appearance. The jokes continued throughout grade school, junior high, and even high school. I had doubts about a lot of things in life until God surprised me with yet another talent, or another person in my life. God put opportunities in front of me. God gave me gifts in the world of sports, which became my counseling during my youth. As a young adult, I faced yet another nightmare. I lost my wife to brain cancer and became a single dad instantly. This was one of the toughest challenges I dealt with. When things happened to me, sometimes it was because of human error, or evil in this world. And yes, sometimes God allowed certain things to happen for His reasons. God was always there to help me overcome and rise above my darkest hours. When I actually started getting to know Jesus Christ, my faith grew and things started turning around for me.
Download or read book The Vision of God written by K.E. Kirk and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-01-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the 1928 Bampton Lectures, The Vision of God was the first of Kenneth E. Kirk’s three major books on moral theology. Drawing inspiration from the ascetic tradition of Christianity, Kirk advocates the priority of worship in ethical thought. Beginning with the sixth beatitude, he places the visio Dei front and centre throughout, placing himself in a eudaimonistic tradition that ranges from Irenaeus to Aquinas and the Shorter Catechism. Worship, he shows, offers the opportunity to discover and acknowledge something more valuable than the self, and thus contains the key to moral instruction. Although Kirk published an expanded ‘complete edition’ of The Vision of God in 1931, he notes in the preface to the shorter text presented here that ‘what remains approximates to, though it is not quite identical with, the actual lectures as originally delivered.’ The reader therefore has in their hands the essence of Kirk’s thesis, which continues to prompt debate today.

Download or read book Seeing God written by Hans Boersma and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2018 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Christianity Today Book Award in Theology/Ethics (2019) To see God is our heart's desire, our final purpose in life. But what does it mean to see God? And exactly how do we see God--with our physical eyes or with the mind's eye? In this informed study of the beatific vision, Hans Boersma focuses on "vision" as a living metaphor and shows how the vision of God is not just a future but a present reality. Seeing God is both a historical theology and a dogmatic articulation of the beatific vision--of how the invisible God becomes visible to us. In examining what Christian thinkers throughout history have written about the beatific vision, Boersma explores how God trains us to see his character by transforming our eyes and minds, highlighting continuity from this world to the next. Christ-centered, sacramental, and ecumenical, Boersma's work presents life as a never-ending journey toward seeing the face of God in Christ both here and in the world to come.

Download or read book Living in God s Vision written by Victor Koduah Nyanor and published by Partridge Publishing Singapore. This book was released on 2020-10-30 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “You see, brothers and sisters, in this God and human relationship you can get the best result only when God speaks and the human, male or female, young or old will yield, obey and take a step with the spoken Word. The result will all the time be the best. God gets the glory, the instrument leaves behind a legacy for the next generation, letting the next generation know how a loving interrelationship between God and human can always have the best result. When I say God speaks, His voice can be heard through different mediums, for example; the Bible does speak to us, hearing a person who has obeyed the LORD and taking a step with what he or she heard does speak to us, anointed preaching does speak to us, through worship God does speak to us. However, what language does God speak? Is it any special language with a special grammar that we should try to specialize to hear? NO. Nevertheless, we have heard people of different nations and language hearing the voice of God and attempting great things for Him and getting results that only God can create. The language of God is an inspiration to a believing heart to increase faith in the heart toward God. When a believing heart hears an inspiration and increase in faith and takes a purposeful step with what he or she hears, we know God has spoken to such a person.”
