Download or read book MORE THAN A PSALM written by Don Lowe and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-07-22 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More Than a Psalm is a collection of devotions compiled over many years. The reader is encouraged to read the psalm referenced first, then the devotion. Many different styles of introductions are used to lay the groundwork for one theme from the psalm. The overarching theme of the book and of Psalms itself is praise to God in song. Each devotion is a single theme the author gleaned from reading and meditating on God’s Word. The introduction to each devotion is created in such a way to capture the attention of the reader with a familiar quote, song title, or event from history. The following is a sample from the devotion entitled “Why Do the Wicked Prosper?” Open the daily newspaper and all you see is bad news, right? You read articles about how good people are afflicted with trouble and wicked people seemingly prosper in spite of their godless lifestyles. Gangs running rampant; sexual predators on the loose; corporate scandals, but the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. How can God allow this to happen? Why do the wicked prosper? It’s really very simple. If you perceive prospering as fortune, fame, and money, the natural conclusion is the wicked prosper. When you see things the way God does, it’s a much different picture. It’s all about your perspective. Do you have a biblical perspective or a worldly perspective? As the book is written by a layperson and not a biblical scholar, the themes are meant to resonate with any reader. If you’ve ever struggled with reading the book of Psalms, this devotional is for you. The simple themes and easy-to-understand language will touch your heart and help guide you through Psalms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

Book excerpt: Based on the Theology of Suffering course Dr. Finch teaches at Moody Bible Institute, this examination of the reality of evil and suffering in the world provides a framework to understand it, along with a pathway to cope with it. The author examines the reality of and causes of suffering, then points readers to the light of the Trinity, the Cross, God's point of view, and finally, to how a person experiences suffering.

For each lectionary text, preachers will find four brief essays--one each on the theological, pastoral, exegetical, and homiletical challenges of the text.

The editors and contributors to this series are world-class scholars, pastors, and writers representing a variety of denominations and traditions. And while the twelve volumes of the series will follow the pattern of the Revised Common Lectionary, each volume will contain an index of biblical passages so that nonlectionary preachers, as well as teachers and students, may make use of its contents.
Download or read book When God Is Not There written by Nikolaos and published by MICHAEL THE CHONIATIS. This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book records simple events and conversations, all the while grappling with difficult questions. In all this, we see the human struggle to discover the person of God when that is veiled by the logic of this world, our limited understanding, and the arrogant pretensions of human littleness. The book engages intensely with complex and difficult issues, which understandably concern us all, but which leave us confused and at times scandalised. What it does not do is give any direct answers, or try to persuade the reader through logic or impressive arguments. Its aim is to convey the sense of the discreet yet persuasive presence of the true God precisely in situations where He is not visible: in pain, in disability, in the tragedies of life, in inexorable death, as this comes across in true events and is reflected in the lives of real people.
