Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world full of deceit, betrayal and deception that left many in a place of uncertainty, with their confidence in the promise of the one and true living God collapsed due to unavoidable life circumstances, HE WHO PROMISED IS ACCOUNTABLE (GOD) is a book to elevate and restore exactly that which was lost (confidence). This book guarantees no quick fix method in your walk with God; it sells no dreams about the success of the future. But one thing’s certain—this book will ignite something within you that will challenge you to see God in a completely different way as far as His promises are concerned. The purpose of this book is to challenge anyone who believes in the existence of the Living God to not only believe in His being, but to thrive for a victorious life through the undiluted truth of His Word as a child of the Most High, created and crafted in His very image. This is a book that will reconnect you to your purpose, reigniting your faith in God’s promises.
Download or read book Battling Unbelief written by John Piper and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2009-01-16 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pastor John Piper shows how to sever the clinging roots of sin that ensnare us, including anxiety, pride, shame, impatience, covetousness, bitterness, despondency, and lust in Battling Unbelief. When faith flickers, stoke the fire. No one sins out of duty. We sin because it offers some promise of happiness. That promise enslaves us, until we believe that God is more desirable than life itself (Psalm 63:3). Only the power of God’s superior promises in the gospel can emancipate our hearts from servitude to the shallow promises and fleeting pleasures of sin. Delighting in the bounty of God’s glorious gospel promises will free us for a less sin-encumbered life, to the glory of Christ. Rooted in solid biblical reflection, this book aims to help guide you through the battles to the joys of victory by the power of the gospel and its superior pleasure.
Download or read book The Spiritual Condition of Infants written by Adam Harwood and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the spiritual condition of infants? According to the Augustinian-Calvinist view, all people inherit from the first Adam both a sinful nature and his guilt. The result is that all infants are subject to the judgment of God against their nature before they knowingly commit any sinful actions. But is this the clear teaching of Scripture? In The Spiritual Condition of Infants, Adam Harwood examines ten relevant biblical texts and the writings of sixteen theologians in order to clarify the spiritual condition of infants. Although no passage explicitly states the spiritual condition of infants, each text makes contributions by addressing the doctrines of man, sin, the church, and salvation. If this biblical-historical analysis exposes the traditional Augustinian-Calvinist view to be inadequate, then is it possible to construct an alternate view of the spiritual condition of infants? Such a view should remain faithful to the biblical emphasis on humankind's connection to Adam and his sin but also recognize the guilt and condemnation of an individual only in the manner and time that God does in Scripture. That is the aim of this book.
Download or read book It Is Time to Hold God Accountable written by David J. Deines and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-06-30 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is Time to Hold God Accountable is a controversial scrutiny of biblical stories which determines how God never existed and the tremendous resulting repercussions on humanity. Then why the title? The main source document offered as proof of Gods existence is the Bible. Without knowledge of its contents, how can we realistically determine Gods existence or lack thereof? After reviewing various Bible stories, the accountability leveled against God for his biblically described actions is so powerful, the question of Gods existence becomes valid. Why consider Gods accountability at this time? Entering the new millennium, approximately one-third of Earths population professes to be Christians. After two millenniums of indoctrination by Christianity, is our earthly home a safer place to live? If this is not the time, when will it be? Also, how will humanity deal with global problems with God to guide us? We will review the Bible writers lack of knowledge, archaeology, missing artifacts, biblical chronology, and Jesus Christ and the historical Josephus. We will also examine how the discovery of alien intelligent life will become additional proof of Gods non-existence and the resultant collapse of Christianity. We will be taken on a journey from Adam to aliens with numerous biblical and scientific stops along the way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love and wrath. Sovereignty and responsibility. Victory and suffering. Some of the truths we read in the Bible seem to be in opposition to each other. We naturally tend to gravitate towards a side, but when we lose sight of one truth in order to protect the other, we are in danger of becoming proud, creating division, and diminishing our faith. In this compelling, inspiring, and at times provocative book, Adam Mabry urges us to stop taking sides and refuse to participate in tribalism by mapping out a way to hold in tension truths that we so often divide over. You’ll discover how our joy and our witness rest on us learning to hold to all that the Scriptures teach and growing in virtue as we do. You’ll learn how to wrestle with all that the Scriptures say, to embrace mystery, to listen closely, and to speak with clarity.
Download or read book Accountability to God written by Andrew B. Torrance and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-05-04 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word 'accountability' is often used without much thought being given to what precisely it means. It is especially common in Christian circles, where there is frequent talk about being accountable to God, yet, still, without a clear grasp of this word. Accountability to God proposes, develops, and analyses two concepts of accountability as both a condition and a virtue. It also engineers these concepts to make them particularly apt for thinking about (1) accountability to God and (2) other relationships of accountability that exist under God. In its first part, the book builds a theological and general case for its particular views of accountability. In its second, it engages in the constructive work of developing a theology of accountability in relation to the doctrines of the Trinity, participation in Christ, the Fall, the fear of God, reconciliation, baptism, repentance, faith, and conversion. In developing this theology, Torrance interacts with a number of major theologians, such as the Apostle Paul, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Karl Barth. He also extensively engages with contemporary work in analytic philosophy, systematic theology (including analytic theology), biblical studies, and psychology. By bringing a diverse range of scholarship into discussion, Accountability to God is the first book to focus specifically on what it means to be accountable to God. It thereby proposes a more positive, constructive, and theologically apt way to think about accountability.
Download or read book Gospelbound written by Collin Hansen and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A profound exploration of how to hold on to hope when our unchanging faith collides with a changing culture, from two respected Christian storytellers and thought leaders. “Offers neither spin control nor image maintenance for the evangelical tribe, but genuine hope.”—Russell Moore, president of ERLC As the pressures of health warnings, economic turmoil, and partisan politics continue to rise, the influence of gospel-focused Christians seems to be waning. In the public square and popular opinion, we are losing our voice right when it’s needed most for Christ’s glory and the common good. But there’s another story unfolding too—if you know where to look. In Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra counter these growing fears with a robust message of resolute hope for anyone hungry for good news. Join them in exploring profound stories of Christians who are quietly changing the world in the name of Jesus—from the wild world of digital media to the stories of ancient saints and unsung contemporary activists on the frontiers of justice and mercy. Discover how, in these dark times, the light of Jesus shines even brighter. You haven’t heard the whole story. And that’s good news.
Download or read book Accountable to God written by Chandra Hawthorne and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today some have lost their faith in the church's ability to lead them to Heaven. They live in despair because what was once a lifeline for sinking souls now appears to be a place of big business and self-promoting agendas. It is saddening to witness the condition of human beings in our world. There are crippling illnesses, incurable diseases, and diverse acts of terror. A new tragedy is realized every minute. The world is deteriorating; yet some Christians walk around daily, offering false hope to those who need a savior. While everyone will not accept God, there are those who cry out daily. Let's consider the prostitute who sells her body on the streets. Do you believe every person who is a prostitute wants to live that way? What about the alcoholic? Is it fair to assume he enjoys being a slave to his addiction? Consider cancer patients who cling to every string of hope, placing their faith in treatments that may not deliver. There are many others with incurable diseases looking to God for healing, but they continue to stumble over counterfeit healing ministries that leave them in despair. Not everyone in a hopeless condition is comfortable with remaining there, but will embrace hope, if possible. People want to believe there is a God in Heaven who can deliver them from a personal Hell, but doubt intercepts their faith. It is the duty of every believer to make sure people experience Christ through them. God's message of love, peace, and deliverance is not trusted when delivered via a part-time saint. Christians must be witnesses for Christ, in hopes that others will believe on Him and gain eternal life! God is everything the Bible says He is. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light. No one can come to God unless he accepts Christ. (St. John 14:6) The Bible reveals that no matter how many won't believe in God's faithfulness, it yet remains effective. (Romans 3:3) This book was written to address the numerous reasons people stray away from churches, and the dangers of doing so. It was also written to bring hope, understanding, and peace to believers and non-believers as well, regarding the Christian faith, and where you stand in your respective views and beliefs. People have misconceptions. They are scared; some are confused; and many don't trust anyone. Whatever the reason, there is virtually no excuse for choosing your own way, this is not the will of God for us, and thereby unacceptable to Him. We will all answer to Him. Salvation is an individual affair, and we must seek God's righteousness daily. The journey of holy living is not impossible or futile. You can do it with God's help. He promised that if we seek after Him we will find Him, and He will welcome us! (Jeremiah 29:13-14). Don't give up your life with God because of a few bad examples. You can live a holy life. You can be a righteous person, and God will keep you until the day He comes back for "His Church," and you will live and rule with Him forever in peace!

Download or read book Why Suffering written by Ravi Zacharias and published by FaithWords. This book was released on 2014-10-21 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why would a loving and powerful God allow so much pain and suffering? In Why Suffering? Ravi Zacharias and Vince Vitale carefully walk you through a variety of responses that considered together provide a clear, comprehensive, and convincing answer. Responses like: Where there is the possibility of love, there has to be the reality of freedom, and therefore the possibility of pain. Wishing God had made a different world is to wish yourself out of existence. The cross is the key to a compelling and rational explanation for trusting in God in the face of suffering. In comparison with other world religions, the Christian response is highly distinctive. The reality of evil only makes sense in light of the reality of divine goodness. Relational knowledge about God takes the argument beyond reason to the presence of God amidst suffering. God's decision to allow temporal suffering is understandable when viewed from an eternal perspective. Divine goodness shows how to conquer not in spite of, but even through suffering. Here is a book written with great respect for the complexity of the issue, recognizing that some who read it will be in the trenches of deep suffering themselves and others questioning the very existence of a loving God. Why Suffering? provides an answer to the problem of pain and suffering with emotional sensitivity and intellectual integrity.

This book was released on 1992-04 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. This meticulously researched book recounts how the early sixteenth-century Reformers, steering a course between the old Latin rites on the one hand and the Anabaptist movement on the other, developed a baptismal service that they understood to be reformed according to Scripture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If God is in control of everything, can Christians sit back and not bother to evangelize? Or does active evangelism imply that God is not really sovereign at all? J. I. Packer shows in this new edition to the popular IVP Classics how both of these attitudes are false. In a careful review of the biblical evidence, he shows how a right understanding of God's sovereignty is not so much a barrier to evangelism as an incentive and powerful support for it. With over 100,000 copies in print, Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God is truly a classic that should be read by every Christian.
