Download or read book On the Unity of Christ written by Saint Cyril (Patriarch of Alexandria) and published by St Vladimir's Seminary Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is one of the most important and yet approachable works produced by Cyril. It was written after the Council of Ephesus (431) to explain his doctrine to an international audience. Cyril argues for the single divine subjectivity of Christ, and describes how it encompasses a full and authentic humanity in Jesus - a human experience that is not overwhelmed by the divine presence, but fostered and enhanced by it. Christology becomes then, for St Cyril, a paradigm for the transfigured and redeemed life of the Christian. There is an introduction to the historical and theological background of the time, of the text and to St Cyril himself.

Download or read book Tear Down These Walls written by John H. Armstrong and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-08-01 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message. I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one--as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me" (John 17:20-21, NLT). For most Christians these words of Jesus seem like an unreachable ideal. Or they promise spiritual unity without a visible demonstration between real people. Some even read these words with a sense of fear seeing this text used for a compromise agenda. How should we understand this prayer offered for all who follow Jesus? What if Jesus really intended for the world to "believe" the gospel on the basis of looking at Christians who live deep unity in a shared relationship with him? What if there is way of understanding what Jesus desired so that we can begin anew to tear down the many walls of division that keep the world from seeing God's love in us? Is our oneness much bigger and deeper than we could imagine? John Armstrong has devoted three decades to the work of Christian unity. His story and ministry have encouraged many around the world and now they are reflected in this memoir of a life devoted to unity.

Book excerpt: John Armstrong knows from personal experience how easy it is to put too much emphasis on correct teaching in our experience of church—and how easily we lose sight of the love on which Christ built his church when we do so. In Costly Love, Armstrong acknowledges the importance of doctrine and theological discussion in the church, but he urges Christians to focus first on whether we are following Jesus’ new commandment: to love as he loved. Our actions of love will begin to bring us closer to unity with one another and with God.

Download or read book The End of Protestantism written by Peter J. Leithart and published by Brazos Press. This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Failure of Denominationalism and the Future of Christian Unity One of the unforeseen results of the Reformation was the shattering fragmentation of the church. Protestant tribalism was and continues to be a major hindrance to any solution to Christian division and its cultural effects. In this book, influential thinker Peter Leithart critiques American denominationalism in the context of global and historic Christianity, calls for an end to Protestant tribalism, and presents a vision for the future church that transcends post-Reformation divisions. Leithart offers pastors and churches a practical agenda, backed by theological arguments, for pursuing local unity now. Unity in the church will not be a matter of drawing all churches into a single, existing denomination, says Leithart. Returning to Catholicism or Orthodoxy is not the solution. But it is possible to move toward church unity without giving up our convictions about truth. This critique and defense of Protestantism urges readers to preserve and celebrate the central truths recovered in the Reformation while working to heal the wounds of the body of Christ.

Download or read book Christian Unity Through God s Starter Kit by Jesus written by William McCracken and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Christian Unity Through God's Starter Kit By Jesus" was written by Bill McCracken from the perspective of a layman that determined in his heart to do things God's way on October 18, 1983 and after about a year of peace found himself in a battle he wasn't prepared for by his church. This is the story of what God has taught him through the eyes of the Bible, our window to the spiritual realm. He found that through God's riches in Christ Jesus that God had given him a "Starter Kit" of truth, wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, justification, glorification, holiness, remission, redemption, mercy, grace and peace with God, so we can take that "Starter Kit" and become wise, righteous, sanctified, just, trustworthy, holy, washed in His Word, redeemed, merciful, compassionate peacemakers so that he could go into spiritual warfare knowing who he is in Christ Jesus. Bill also found that we as Christians are all one in Christ Jesus according to Galatians 3:26-28 and that God's Word says that God wants no divisions among his people in First Corinthians 1:10 plus other scriptures that tell us to be in one accord, likeminded, of one mind, that we all speak the same thing, that we be perfectly joined together and that we should all come together in the unity of the faith. Sadly, Bill found that Christianity is deeply divided and splintered with over 38,000 different denominations worldwide and 1,500 in the United States alone. We must come together as one and defeat our one and only enemy, satan and his demons. Fortunately, when Bill came to God he literally did not know an epistle from an apostle and God could take that empty vessel and fill it with the truth from God's Word. He received the baptism of the Holy Ghost on November 26, 1983 and then could could begin to teach him through ministering to others, failure or experience (the fire), books and tapes, preaching and it's amazing what you learn when you look up a word in a Bible concordance and learn the definition from the Greek dictionary. You know the definition, and then see how God teaches it in the Bible and it really isn't that difficult. Learn about God's Starter Kit by Jesus, born again, repentance, baptism, the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire and the armor of God. Learn what a "fiery dart" is and how to defeat the "fiery darts of the wicked" and the story of satan and God's plan through Christ Jesus that defeated him. Learn about the covenant God has made with His children through His Son and then the authority He has given Christians in the spiritual realm in the Name of Jesus. Revelation 12:11, "And they overcame him (the devil) by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus-The Word of God), and by the word of their testimony." Our testimony is very important to help others overcome the works of the devil when we combine it with the works of the cross and the Word of God. First John 3:8, "For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil." God's blessings-Bill McCracken
Download or read book Unity in the Faith written by Bradford Mark Rosenquist Ph.D. and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Churches all over the world work to spread the gospel of Christ, but this work is done in many different ways by many different denominations. Jesus and Paul were quite clear that the church of God was to be in total unityespecially with regard to the teachings of the gospel. So how do we bring the many denominations into a unity that will enhance a genuine team effort to present the true gospel to the world? In Unity in the Faith, author Bradford Mark Rosenquist shows why church unity across all denominations is an absolutely necessary work that must be accomplished for gospel success. First outlining what church unity is and what has been a historical obstacle to this unity, Rosenquist goes on to show how integral unity is to the gospel message of Christ. In the end, Unity in the Faith provides both an analysis of unity as well as a roadmap that Christians and church leaders can use to promote true unity in their congregations. It takes a cooperative effort to reach the world with the truth about Jesus and the kingdom of God. The universal body of Christ must therefore overcome the current disunity so that as one we can live up to Christs admonition to go into all the world and preach the gospel.
