Download or read book Spiritual Warfare and Missions written by Jerry Rankin and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mission of God to “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19, HCSB) is a major target of spiritual warfare today. In this new book by International Mission Board president Jerry Rankin and noted missiologist Ed Stetzer, the authors call out Satan’s ongoing strategy to convince Christians that the Great Commission is optional. Through deceit, he is eroding the authoritative mandate of Scripture, leading believers to tell themselves that international discipleship is a task better left to denomination and mission agencies—not the sort of kingdom work that every believer can do. But for every evil success, Rankin and Stetzer point to where Satan is failing, thus encouraging readers to renew their passion to declare God’s glory among the nations. Indeed, by taking up the call to action here, we can be sure that the kingdoms of the world will become the kingdom of the Lord.

Download or read book World Missions written by L. E. Maxwell and published by Kingsley Press. This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Formerly Titled World Missions: Total War Newly Republished by Kingsley Press Someone has said that the task of the preacher is to comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable. The messages found in this book most definitely fall into the latter category. In these pages the author sounds a bugle call to Christian soldiers-a call "not to a holiday, but to a campaign. Our tent is pitched not in paradise, but on the field of battle.... The primary and only adequate figure of Christian service is that of the military conflict.... World missions under Christ's captaincy means war, total war, total mobilization for total conflict." This book was written and published toward the end of L. E. Maxwell's long and fruitful ministry, thus preserving for us his seasoned convictions on two of the primary emphases of his life work: his view of the Christian life as a warfare and the supreme importance of world missions. As co-founder and principal of Prairie Bible Institute in Three Hills, Alberta, Canada, Maxwell's lifelong calling was to train disciplined soldiers for the mission fields of the world-a calling he fulfilled with steadfast faithfulness and astonishing success, thus qualifying him to speak with authority and passion. "The content of this book is meant to furnish pastors and Christian workers with biblical material to stir God's people out of their evangelical smugness," Maxwell wrote. "Do we not all need to be stabbed wide awake?"

In this latest book, Dr. Kraft summarizes his findings and shares from his years of experience his approach to inner healing and deliverance ministries. This book needs to be read by every student studying spiritual formation, by every missiologist engaged in missionary activities and by every pastor and church worker committed to making healthy disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ."--Douglas Hayward, department chair, Graduate Intercultural Studies, Cook School of Intercultural Studies, Biola University "Personally awakened to the spiritual nature of our Christian faith, Charles Kraft calls us to wake up as well.

This guide to the warfare reflects Dr. Kraft's passion for God's people to experience the full measure of the Father's love. His writing is grace-filled, balanced, thoughtful and practical."--John Shultz, Ph.D., president, Ashland Theogical Seminary

Download or read book Spirituality in Mission written by John Amalraj and published by William Carey Publishing. This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 686 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authors from eighteen countries give us their perspectives on biblical principles and cultural expressions of spirituality particularly as the church engages in God’s mission. The anthology of texts enriches our understanding of the depth and the meaning of being spiritual and the diversity of forms to live out the Christian faith. The issue today is how spirituality should direct and guide a daily life as followers of Jesus in the engagement in the mission of God. No doubt that it has to do with our inner life and our relationship to God, but it is in showing our love and concern to others that we prove our love to God, according to the Apostle John (1 John 4). Mission without spirituality will only be a human effort to convince people of religious theories. Spirituality without a missionary involvement of the church will not express God’s desire that the transforming gospel reaches every person. This book will help you rethink your understanding of what is spiritual, revisit your own spiritual journey, and appreciate the different forms of spirituality as they are described and performed around the globe.
