Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sermons to the Spiritual Man There is no being with whom man stands in such close and important relations as with the invisible God, and yet there is no being with whom he finds it SO difficult to have communication. The earth he can see and touch. His fellow-man he can look in the eye and Speak to. But no man hath seen God at any time. Century after century passes by, and the Highest utters no voice that is audible to the outward ear. Thousands and millions Of human supplications are sent up to Him who dwells in the heavens, but the heavens are not rent, no deity comes down, and no visible Sign is made. The skies are Silent. The impenetrable vail between man's body and God's Spirit is not withdrawn even for an instant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Sermons to the Spiritual Man written by William Greenough Thayer Shedd and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sermons to the Spiritual Man This volume is complementary to another, published in 1871, under the title of "Sermons to the Natural Man." In the earlier volume, the author aimed to address the human conscience. In this, he would speak to the Christian heart. The former supposed original and unpardoned sin, and endeavored to produce the consciousness of it. The latter supposes forgiven and indwelling sin, and would aid in the struggle and victory over it. The writer has had evidence, both from this country and from abroad, that theological sermonizing and the close application of truth are not so unwelcome and unpopular, as they are sometimes represented to be. This encourages him to hope that the present volume, which takes a wider range, and brings to view the experiences and aspirations of the regenerate believer, may find a yet larger class of sympathetic readers. At the same time, the author is well aware that both volumes are out of all keeping with some existing tendencies in the religious world. But these tendencies are destined to disappear, whenever the blind guides shall cease to lead the blind, and honest self-knowledge shall take the place of self-flattery and religious delusion. That this will happen, is as certain as that the Holy Spirit has not forsaken the world for which God incarnate died, but will, in His own way, again search and illumine the human soul, as in "the times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord."

This book was released on 2016-09-14 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Spirituality, or the Spiritual Man This little book is a plea for a unified life. It endeavors to analyze, to be sure, but only that some conception of the wholeness of the spiritual life may be seen back of its multiplicity of ex periences. The sermons were preached to that caravan of hearers Which passes, on successive Sunday mornings, before the vision of a preacher in a great city. To teach a comprehensive doctrine under such circumstances is not easy. The demand is for some suggestive allusion, some illuminating phrase, some interpreting principle, that can be caught by the hearer as he passes. Elaborately reasoned truth does not ourish under such condi tions. In submitting the sermons to print the author calls attention to thes, e conditjons, 'hoping they will induce the reader} to.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spirit in Man: Sermons and Selections Horace bushnell was born in 1802 and died in 1876. It is, therefore, now one hundred years since his birth, and twenty-six years since he left this world. It is, perhaps, not more remarkable that a personal influence which had its root in an other century should be still growing and spread ing, than that material of thought produced from thirty to sixty years ago should still have fitness to the thought of to-day, and show equal freshness and vitality. The papers offered in this collection are selected from those left in the care of his wife, and which have lain inert for more than thirty years, with the single exception as to time of that on Inspiration, begun just a year before his death under conditions of feebleness best described by himself in his introduction to it. The title of the book is appropriated from one of his sermons in the volume of Sermons for the New Life (page chosen because he once chose it, and be cause it covers the whole scope of the subjects ih cluded as well as any one title could do.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heritage of the Spirit: And Other Sermons Wilt thou that we call down fire from heaven and consume them, as Elijah didp Note, too, the rebuke of Jesus, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. And even in his own day Elijah seems to have inspired awe and wonder rather than affection. He was a stern, reserved man, who scarcely seemed to feel as other men felt. Not only have we Ahab's startled cry, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? But even the widow of Zarephath, who had watched for months with wondering eye the prophet's sombre face, exclaimed as she clutched the corpse of her boy, Hast thou come to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son? So, too, Obadiah, though supported by a good conscience, still doubted this incomprehensible man. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Divine Life in Man written by Frederick A. Noble and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Divine Life in Man: And Other Sermons Often as any soul comes under the regenerating power of the gospel and is born into the kingdom. This is what is brought out with an almost start ling distinctness in the group of passages standing at the head of this discourse. Man, like God, is per sonal and spiritual. He has the source of his being in God. He has come into life in virtue of the breath Of God in his soul. He has a certain intel lectual and moral likeness to God; and by cultivation and discipline this likeness may be advanced till his thought and will reflect, in some measure, the thought and will of God, and all his movements and desires are in the direction of God. He may yield his whole nature - all his powers and faculties - up to the guid ance of God, and the current of an exalted fellow ship may flow back and forth between his heart and the heart Of God. Having fallen out of this fellow ship, and lost this divine life, through sin, he may yet find it again through faith in the Son of God, who came into the world for the express purpose of renewing men dead in trespasses and sins, and re storing the marred image in which they were made. He may have inward witness that God is his Father, and that he is God's child. He may know and eh joy God. These are general statements covering the case. The further development of the subject will be pro moted best by asking two or three questions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spiritual Religion: Sermons on Christian Faith and Life This little volume is offered to the public as a very lowly contribution towards the settlement of some of the great religious questions which are agitated at the present day. If in these Sermons the thoughtful reader should miss the completeness and severity of argument which he might properly demand in an elaborate treatise, it is hoped that he will find some compensation in the greater vividness with which the connection between truth and the ordinary life of men may be presented in that form of composition which is intended primarily to influence the affections and conduct. To that increasing class of men, who, while profoundly conscious of a spiritual power in Christianity, are yet unable to accept any of the current representations of it, it is hoped that the thoughts here presented may not be altogether devoid of interest and value.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spiritual Apprehension: Sermons and Papers The sermons and articles contained in this volume form a somewhat miscellaneous collection, but their general object is to promote that inward action towards things invisible and visible which I have sought to indicate by the title Spiritual Apprehension. In the expressly theological por tion which is placed first, I have advocated the principle that our. Spiritual faculties, which may be summed up in faith and hope and love, have by the Creator's appointment the chief authority in our nature, and that by these we are intended to have a real knowledge of the incomprehensible Being who awakens and attracts them. I have pointed out that these spiritual faculties assert their dominion irresistibly in human life, and that the intellect, which claims to be supreme and to govern, finds itself baffled and confounded in ways that surprise it. And I have inferred from these facts that we do rightly and wisely in yielding ourselves to the lead of the spirit, and that the understanding has to follow and serve the spirit as best it can.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Work of the Holy Spirit: Thirteen Sermons At the very beginning Of Creation, for instance, we read that the Spirit Of God moved upon the waters,1 and through the long millennial stages of the world's evolution we can well believe that He was the principle of life and movement. By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, and all the host Of them by the breath of His mouth.2 Have we thought of this? We are apt to regard the Holy Spirit as the possession of a few saintly souls, while we forget that all around us are sacraments of God. When you stand some summer evening on the shore and watch the grand expanse of purple and sapphire sea, with the white sea gulls skimming its surface and the red cliffs towering above it; when your eye strays upwards to the heavens with their infinite depths of blue and crimson and golden-green, have you ever thought that you owe this panorama of loveliness to the Holy Spirit of God Why is the flower living and growing? Because the Holy Spirit is breathing upon it. Who gave the little insect its wondrous variety of colour? The Holy Spirit of God. And when at last God made man, when He first gave expression to His own invisible nature in human form it was the Divine inbreathing that wrought that supreme masterpiece. As Elihu has said, The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. 3 Human life, in a higher degree, is the work of the Holy Spirit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sermons and Sermon Notes I propose to speak here of those gifts which enabled Father Maturin to win so many hearts and souls to a good and useful life, and often to a high Spirituality. Father Maturin was a man in whom missionary zeal, the fire of Spiritual genius and penetrating psycho logical insight were combined to a rare degree. Both in the pulpit and from the chair of the preacher of spiritual retreats, first as a Cowley Father and then for eighteen years as a Catholic Priest, these gifts were exercised with a power which deeply affected many lives. I personally never heard any preacher of whom the word inspiration could be more justly used. It was with him in the pulpit much what it is with many a great poet, whose conversation little prepares one for the immense sweep of imagination and passion or the power of vivid expression which are apparent when he takes his pen in hand. With the poet brooding thought in solitude as a rule kindles the fire and his pen is the instrument for kindling others. With Father Maturin the presence of human beings whom he addressed kindled the fire in himself and the spoken word waslhis instrument.
