Download or read book Gospel Centered Discipleship written by Jonathan K. Dodson and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2012-03-31 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflecting on the practice of disciple making in young adult, college, graduate, and local church contexts, Jonathan Dodson has discerned some common pitfalls. For many, discipleship is reduced to a form of religious performance before God. For others, it devolves into spiritual license and a loose adherence to spiritual facts. Both approaches distort biblical motivations for Christian obedience and are in need of reform. By explaining various motivations for discipleship, Dodson charts a biblically faithful, grace-driven alternative. Additionally, he provides a practical model for creating gospel-centered discipleship groups—small, reproducible, missional, gender-specific groups of believers that fight for faith together. This book blends both theology and practice to inspire and equip Christians to effectively fight sin, keep Jesus central, and make gospel-centered discipleship a way of life. Both new and growing Christians will learn to trust the gospel in community as they fight together for holiness as well as how to start gospel-centered community groups in any local church.

Book excerpt: In his first published book, "Oh My God, What's Next" he will share some of his life experiences with his readers and will inspire them to confront life's tragedies and disappointments with a positive and meaningful spiritual force. Edward "Eddie" Marella was born in Boston, Massachusetts on June 6, 1961.He was the son of an Italian-American family who resided in Quincy, Massachusetts. Early in Eddie's life he experienced several life changing events that forever impacted the way he viewed his future approach to life and religion. At the age of 12, while visiting his dying Grandmother, he witnessed his grandmother going through a near death experience. This was an overwhelming sight for him especially after upon awakening, she explained her experience to him. A few years later little did he know that he would directly experience what his grandmother did. At the age of 15 Eddie was in a severe motor scooter accident and was assumed dead by bystanders who saw the accident and were trying to help. This horrific accident and the near death experience that he went through would forever change his life and strengthen his religious beliefs. Later in life he again met with another serious and life threatening accident while swimming in Cape Cod. He was violently swept under an 18 ft. wave and somehow was miraculously saved and washed ashore unharmed. Eddie's lifelong experiences with near death and his battle against early stage cancer have been his inspiration to continually strengthen his belief in Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church. He attends Mass daily and is always ready to help others and to tell his story about how to strive for a healthy and happy life regardless of what life sends.

Download or read book Radical written by David Platt and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.
Download or read book How Jesus Became God written by Bart D. Ehrman and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author and Bible expert Bart Ehrman reveals how Jesus’s divinity became dogma in the first few centuries of the early church. The claim at the heart of the Christian faith is that Jesus of Nazareth was, and is, God. But this is not what the original disciples believed during Jesus’s lifetime—and it is not what Jesus claimed about himself. How Jesus Became God tells the story of an idea that shaped Christianity, and of the evolution of a belief that looked very different in the fourth century than it did in the first. A master explainer of Christian history, texts, and traditions, Ehrman reveals how an apocalyptic prophet from the backwaters of rural Galilee crucified for crimes against the state came to be thought of as equal with the one God Almighty, Creator of all things. But how did he move from being a Jewish prophet to being God? In a book that took eight years to research and write, Ehrman sketches Jesus’s transformation from a human prophet to the Son of God exalted to divine status at his resurrection. Only when some of Jesus’s followers had visions of him after his death—alive again—did anyone come to think that he, the prophet from Galilee, had become God. And what they meant by that was not at all what people mean today. Written for secular historians of religion and believers alike, How Jesus Became God will engage anyone interested in the historical developments that led to the affirmation at the heart of Christianity: Jesus was, and is, God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once one of the World's greatest Emperors fell in love with a village girl. The girl was homely, good and sweet; yet she was light years away from the Emperor in terms of looks and stature. The Emperor wanted to send a love letter to her. He had a million messengers at His beck and call. He could have sent the best poet in the world, who could have composed an epic on Him. Or could have sent the world's finest dancer. Or the best scholar. Or the greatest warrior. Instead the Emperor chose a lousy courier boy, who was lazing around, for the job. The boy could not speak well or run fast. Yet in a state of ecstasy he ran all the way to the girl's house. And delivered the letter. The Emperor is the Lord. And you are the girl. He has fallen in love with you. And OH MY GOD! is His love letter. I am the lousy courier boy. You may hate the courier boy. But I entreat you, my dears, don't ever neglect the message from your beloved, the Emperor. - Varalotti Rengasamy

Download or read book Knowing Christ in the Challenge of Heresy written by Steven Tsoukalas and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-06-02 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Most Holy Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—uses heresy. On the surface, this is a frightening statement. But through the challenge of Christological heresies, the early church was moved to the task of articulating the faith once for all handed down to the saints. As a result of these heresies, the church realized that it had to lay out biblically, with nuance and precision, who Christ is. This nuance and precision was geared toward answering these heresies with “no,” and resulted in the saints through the ages knowing Jesus better. As it was then, so it is now. The church today, in sync with the Scripture and the apostolic tradition founded upon Jesus, needs in part to articulate biblical Christology in a way that specifically addresses modern-day heresies so that we may know Christ better, more deeply. In Knowing Christ in the Challenge of Heresy, Steven Tsoukalas lays out several modern-day heretical Christologies and answers them biblically with nuance and precision. Readers will not only find a documented cataloguing of specific heresies, but also chapters on Christology found in books of the Bible.
Download or read book Jesus Son of God Son of Man Jesus Is Our Pattern written by J. Harlow Holmes and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2019-05-10 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a Commentary like no other today. It reveals the true nature of Jesus as He walked on the earth and fulfilled the very necessary role that was required because of Adam’s fall. It fulfills the passage of I Corinthians 15:45—the last Adam. Jesus had to be like us in order to take our place. He was not God in flesh as preached today from most pulpits. He was the manifestation of God, His Father. Manifestation is the KEY word. He was God manifested in the flesh. When the Apostles saw Jesus in action they saw God the Father, John 14:9-11. We can see God in Jesus. Another important message is that Jesus was our pattern. We, the Church, should be doing the things that He did today. He Said to the disciples:“As the Father sent Me, so send I you.”John 20:21. Then He included us in His prayer in John 17:20-21. The Bible has been translated by those who believe in the doctrine of the Trinity. This came from Constantine and the first Nicene Creed in the 300s AD with the penalty of death involving over 200 Bishops if rhey did not sign it as he commanded. It seems that two were willing to die for the truth. All that was required to emphasize that Jesus was God just involved some prepositions and pronouns. However, the bulk of Jesus’ confession indicates otherwise. The Prologue is the foundation of proof that Jesus was a human being just like you and me. The Lord told me that most everyone is a product of someone else’s teaching today. However, when I was first filled with the Holy Spirit in my mid-twenties Jesus told me to let Him teach me. I have been faithful to that command for nearly 65 years. This commentary is the result of that command.
