Download or read book Exploring the Christian Life in Christ written by Joe Harvey and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-08-02 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose in writing this book is to share with you, the readers and followers of Jesus, the deeper meaning of who we are as Christians. It may come as a surprise to many that the Christian life is not a "surprisingly easy task." The roots go deep as we will explore. Christianity is a new way of life. You might also say it's a journey or a walk of endurance and obedience to our Lord and King. Another way to say this is that it's a walk of faith as we strive to obey God's commands. So what is a Christian? Glad you asked. A Christian is simply one who follows the teachings of the very incarnate son of God--Jesus. Unlike all other world religions, Christianity is a personal relationship with the God and Creator of the Universe! * It begins with a call to believe in God: O Seeker, Is God Calling? * This is followed by the big eternal question, But Why, God, and Why Me? * Digging deeper at the heart of the Gospel is A Call to Obedience--Ouch! * Followed by living out that new life in A Call to New Life in Christ * And finally, a discussion on the undergirding of our Christian walk: A Call to Grow in Our Faith Faith is a big topic and is what God gives us to keep everything in balance. This book seeks to entertain certain points along life's journey. These five essays touch on various topics that we all, as Christians, struggle with at times. And as a bonus, there's a self-study/Bible study to work through.

But when we explore the history of these words we uncover a new depth of understanding. Preachers and lay leaders will find this resource helpful in their sermon preparation and Bible study.The index lists over 130 frequently used words, numbers, and phrases which have special significance in biblical and religious writings.

Download or read book Keys For Living a Solid Successful Christian Life written by Robbie L. Rogers and published by BookLocker.com, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-06-30 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A straight forward simple life-changing easy to read common sense look at the complexity of today’s difficulties according to and surrounding God’s Word, the Bible and Christianity. Did God simply hit the start button on creation and walk away like it sometimes feels? He is almost always active with us daily, hourly, minute by minute! Life is beautiful if we allow it to be and we are blessed beyond measure! Your success depends on what you truly believe, what drives your existence. If you work hard enough at what your heart’s desire is about, it will happen; especially if you are working at something in God’s name and in His timing. Remember God’s plans for you existed before you were born. So, what do you spend your time on? Ask God for help in changing the part of you that He dislikes; those things that are negative in nature, learn to love yourself. Beware of distractions, piddling, deviations from your purposes, mostly they are wrong for you to do at that time. However, sometimes “fires” do occur and must be put out. The distractions I am alluding to come from fragmented thoughts that lead you to deviate from your plan; you end up in a room and don’t even remember why you are there. If something pops up that requires your attention write it down on your to do list. Everyone should have such a list but often they also are simply a distraction list that keeps you from what you ought to be doing. People within a congregation, those on the edge or outside of Christianity, and those trying to make some sense out of their career and life experiences in these difficult times while hanging on to Christian principles they believe in need this book. Millions of Christians and non-Christians alike need more information and guidance for clarity in a confusing world that often conflicts with one's normal Christian values. This book helps define how we can keep a firm grasp on what we believe and apply those principles with a new sense of realization in our life and career. It is in that mode that it was developed.
Download or read book Forty Keys Words for Victorious Living written by Fred E. White and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us." -John 1:1, 14 It is interesting that John describes the Son of God becoming the Son of man in this way. Jesus is the ultimate revelation of who God is. He is the Living Word who revealed who God is to us. Forty Words for Victorious Living describes forty key Biblical words to help the believer in their personal journey to becoming like Christ. Some words communicate to us in a powerful way. Words like love, hope, joy produce an uplifting response whereas words like hate, despair and sorrow usually produce discouragement. The Bible reveals the reality of a fallen world where both good and evil exists and shows us how ultimately good will prevail over evil. The key in becoming a part of this glorious victory is to be willing to turn away from the evil and turn towards the good. The Bible explains that all evil comes from sin and all good comes from God. So when we turn away from our sin and turn toward God, He promises to give us both a victorious life now and in eternity. Forty Words for Victorious Living is a tool to help every believer to find victory in a world filled with defeat! Fred E. White, who served as pastor of several Baptist churches spent most of his years in ministry in denominational work retiring from the North American Mission Board almost 25 years ago. He has continued to serve the Lord with his wife, Willie Love in Tunnel Hill, GA since that time serving as interim pastor in many churches. As his health declined, it became difficult to continue serving the Lord in this way, so God led him to compile this book. He enlisted his family to help him in seeking to explain each of these key words for victorious living. Twenty-four family members helped him in writing at least one chapter, ranging from 15 years of age to 90. You will find some chapters are theological, while others are practical, and some both. While there is some theological diversity they all agree Jesus is the only true Living Word of God and thus victorious Christian living can only be found in Him!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We need to recover a truth that has been all but lost in modern-day Christianity. It has been buried for too long, and it is too valuable to be forgotten. This life-changing truth is that the heart is the key to everything in the Christian life. The heart is the wellspring of all our actions, emotions, motives, and character. Everything we are, everything we say, and everything we do flows directly from the heart. In The Heart-The Key to Everything in the Christian Life, believers will discover how the heart is central to spiritual growth and how it will help us better reflect the image of Christ in a fallen world. The heart is the key to our service and obedience to the Father. The heart is the key to the purity and depth of our worship, praise, and love of God. It is time the Christian church once again teaches a proper understanding of the heart so that we can fully embrace and manifest the life of Christ within us.

Download or read book The Love That Is God written by Frederick Christian Bauerschmidt and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “God is love is the radical claim of Christianity,” writes Frederick Bauerschmidt at the beginning of this little meditation on the essentials of Christian faith. In a rich yet accessible style reminiscent of C. S. Lewis and G. K. Chesterton, Bauerschmidt breathes life back into that claim, drawing from Scripture, great Christian and non-Christian writers of the past, and his own lived experience to show just how countercultural and subversive Christianity is actually meant to be. Eschewing the abstract and dogmatic in favor of the relational and inviting, he offers something for everyone, from lifelong churchgoers and students of religion to the growing population of “nones” among younger generations who are increasingly seeking spiritual fulfillment outside of institutional Christianity. With further reading suggestions (both scriptural and nonscriptural) at the end of each chapter, The Love That Is God is the perfect starting point of a spiritual journey into deeper relationship with God. Michael Ramsey Prize (2023)

Book excerpt: What beliefs are core to the Christian faith? This book is here to help you understand the reason for your hope as a Christian so that you can see it with fresh sight and invite others into the conversation. A lot of Christians take their story—the narratives that give rise to their beliefs—for granted. They pray, go to church, perhaps even read their Bible. But they might be stuck if a stranger asked them to explain what they believe and why they believe it. Author, pastor, and theologian Mike Horton unpacks the essential and basic beliefs that all Christians share in a way that is easy to understand and applicable to our lives today. And in a way that will make you excited to be a Christian! Core Christianity covers topics like: Jesus as both fully God and fully man. The doctrine of the Trinity. The goodness of God despite a broken world. The ways God speaks. The meaning of salvation. What is the Christian calling? Includes discussion questions for individual or group use. This introduction to the basic doctrines of Christianity is perfect for those who are new to the faith, as well as those who have an interest in deepening their understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.
