Download or read book Essays on Apostolic Themes written by Paul Elbert and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2007-02-01 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of studies, prepared in honor of one of the church's distinguished teachers and pastoral servants, Dr. Howard M. Ervin, attempts to address some of the pressing theological issues of our day. Important matters of biblical interpretation in the evangelical and charismatic scenes are treated by three of the contributors, including one by the honoree himself. The role of the Holy Spirit in interpretation is critiqued by professor Horner, while professors F. F. Bruce and J. D. G. Dunn offer some penetrating insights into the work of the Spirit in Paul's churches and into the nature of the New Testament believer as understood by the great apostle. Professor Rea gives us his timely observations on the nature of spiritual experience in the lives of Old Testament believers, drawing out appropriate lessons for today. We trust further that 'Essays on Apostolic Themes' may have something to offer to the discipline of historical theology with five essays, ranging from prophetic-type phenomena in Iranaeus's church and charismatic motifs in Calvin's thoughts to critical assessments of Lewi Pethrus and Donald Gee, who are, within their own cultures, appraised as being dynamic figures of leadership in the pentecostal tradition. Similarly, based on his earlier book of the eighteenth century pioneer of pentecost, Dr. Strachan presents a stimulating piece on the development of Edward Irving's thought. The early reception in America of the charismatic movement is sagaciously surveyed by Dr. Connelly and productive ideas on the mystical presence of Christ in our Lord's supper are advanced by professor Gelpi. 'Essays' concludes with a contribution to the much discussed issues of church growth, wherein practical suggestions are tabled based on the potential implied by Luke's text of the book of Acts. Overall, the editor and respective authors submit this anniversary volume to their colleague and friend, Dr. Howard M. Ervin, and to its readers everywhere in the hope that these fourteen studies may make a useful international contribution to scholarship and that 'Essays' may be found helpful to preachers, teachers, and students of God's word.

Download or read book Fruits and Gifts of the Spirit written by Thomas Keating and published by Lantern Books. This book was released on 2000 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Keating has spent more than fifty years in sustained practice and devotion to the spiritual life. The results of this creative, humble activity are now summarized in this remarkable book, Fruits and Gifts of the Spirit. As Father Keating says, the spiritual journey is a gradual process of enlarging our emotional, mental, and physical relationship with the divine reality that is present in us, but one not ordinarily accessible to our emotions or concepts. The spiritual journey teaches us, first, to believe in the Divine Indwelling within us, fully present and energizing every level of our being; second, to recognize that this energy is benign, healing, and transforming; and third, to enjoy its gradual unfolding step-by-step both in prayer and action.

Download or read book Growing in the Fruit of the Holy Spirit written by Elena Arnaudova and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-08 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control" (Galatians 5: 22-23a NIV). Galatians 5: 22-23 are well-known verses amongst Christians, and yet there is relatively little teaching on this subject. Whilst there is an abundance of literature on the Person of the Holy Spirit and a great emphasis placed on His gifts, especially in charismatic circles, the fruit of the Spirit (equally if not even more important than the gifts) has been somewhat neglected. In Growing in the Fruit of the Holy Spirit, Elena Arnaudova looks at each of the nine fruits of the Spirit, underlining their fundamental importance to us in our Christian development. These simple, down-to-earth, and practical studies are the result of some of the insights and revelations Elena has received through her own devotional times over twenty years as a born-again believer. In reading this book, it is Elena's hope and prayer that you will be blessed, encouraged, and helped to grow into the fully mature character and person God created you to be. Elena Arnaudova was born and grew up in Kent in England. A qualified Secondary School and English Foreign Language teacher, she has taught for a number of years in the UK, as well as in France and Bulgaria. She also spent seven years working as an administrative assistant for a church in Hastings. In 1998 she married Deyan, and in 2007, at nearly forty years of age, she gave birth to a beautiful daughter, Rebeka.

Book excerpt: The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

Download or read book The Visible Shape of Christ s Life in Us written by Bruce Worthington and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-09-13 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we live in the world without falling either to the dangerous pitfalls of Christian legalism or the lure of unbridled hedonism, especially in a generation that rejects most formal expressions of Christianity? Saint Paul suggests that there is only one way--to walk in step with the Spirit, while bearing the fruit of the Spirit in our daily lives. Because this is a daily process, one fraught with success and failure, the following volume of essays seek to articulate how the Christian can prepare themselves for life in the Spirit, following Paul's admonition to "keep in step with the Spirit" (Gal 5:25) as we move closer and closer to meeting our Lord. The Visible Shape of Christ Life in Us: Meditations on the Fruit of the Spirit is a collection of essays originally preached in the Founders Chapel of Wycliffe College, University of Toronto, in the fall semester of 2018. Originally intended for a diverse audience of students, faculty, and professional clergy, these essays represent the best of Anglican theological insight in the context of the greater Christian community. They are intended for personal reflection, and daily devotion--a welcoming, accessible addition to any theological collection.
