Download or read book Truthspeak written by Michael D. Halsey and published by . This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Roman governor once asked Jesus Christ, "What is truth?" Today, many souls are searching for the truth and sincerely asking God the same question. Unfortunately, much of the religious heritage bearing the name of "Christianity" cannot provide a trustworthy answer to this question. So much of Christendom is not true biblical Christianity but is actually a distortion of the liberating, grace-filled message of Jesus Christ and His apostles. Like the mind-controlling "Newspeak" of the nation of Oceania in George Orwell's classic book, 1984, the "Big Brother" of religion has distorted the true meaning of the central terms of the Christian faith. In Truthspeak, Dr. Michael D. Halsey, President of Free Grace Seminary and Pastor of County Line Church, sets the record straight regarding five key terms of the Christian faith. He clarifies biblically that GRACE does not mean works; FINISHED does not mean incomplete; REPENTANCE does not mean do penance; BELIEVE does not mean commit, submit, yield, and obey; and JUSTIFIED does not mean guilty until proven righteous. The message set forth in Truthspeak will provide hungering and thirsting souls with God's grace and truth that comes through faith alone in Christ alone.

Download or read book Words of the Word written by Ron Stieglitz and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-01-12 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Words are important to us in many ways as we communicate with each other, but they can also be less than clear. A word from a foreign language inserted in a novel for emphasis or scientific and technical terms might be baffling and require a dictionary or Google Search. If you have ever listened to a Sunday morning sermon, heard a reading by a lector, sung a hymn, engaged in a Bible study, or read a passage in the Bible and realized that you don't have a clue what a certain word means, you are not alone. Other times, we carelessly read over a word without comprehending the deeper scriptural meaning because it is familiar; we've seen or heard it many times. Frequently used words such as hope, fear, peace, joy, and, yes, even worship and amen are not fully appreciated or understood in the context of Scripture. God's Word is full of important words; after all, by his grace, a key word, they lead us to faith and salvation. Some have precise definitions, whereas others convey entire rich concepts or ideas, and some can be confusing if not intimidating especially to new Christians. There are words of comfort, action, power, but, best of all, eternal life. The goal of this book is to assist the person in the pew on Sunday morning, in a Bible class, or engaged in personal study, not only new Christians but also long-time adherents, to better understand and appreciate the words that they hear or read. It can serve as a review for veteran Christians looking to develop a deeper understanding of their faith and a primer for new Christians who are trying to build a foundation for theirs.
