Download or read book The Theology of Grace written by Martin Angelo Recio and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2013-03 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faith has lost something in the twenty-first century. In a drive to market Christianity to the world, churches have sacrificed the depth and riches of theology. Faith is bought and sold in American churches, but it is a faith without substance. Martin Recio, an Augustinian with decades of experience in ministry, shows us what it is that we've lost. Christianity is a revealed religion of redemption and reconciliation with the Lord God, through faith in his son, Jesus Christ. It is also an eschatological religion. It points to a victorious and triumphant conclusion, when Christ shall come in his second advent. Recio presents the teachings of our religion in their near-classical form, from creation through salvation to the end of time. This retelling of the Gospel of grace as it was known in the ancient world has the power to transform our modern society and beckon the coming of the kingdom of God.

Download or read book The Word Volume 5 1981 1984 written by Elizabeth Clare Prophet and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus Christ is the avatar of the ages-the same yesterday, today and forever. We knew him when he walked the streets of Atlantis and Lemuria. We also knew him in eras of darkness, when he sought to lead men to the light. His message did not begin with the Bible, nor did it end with the Book of Revelation. He has never stopped speaking to his own. Two thousand years ago, he foretold a time of tribulation-the end of an age. That time has come. It is the era when the mystery of God should be finished, when the Two Witnesses should prophecy "a thousand two hundred and threescore days." And so Jesus once more delivers his Word to a world in transition. As always, the message is one of judgement to the fallen angels, admonishment to those who would walk in the light, hope for all who are striving on the path, and the vision of golden age to come. This volume includes dictations by Jesus Christ through Elizabeth Clare Prophet given from 1981-1984.

Download or read book A Distant Thunder The Storm of Peace Love and Harmony written by Reverend Kenneth and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-12-26 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Christians we often struggle to find a balance between our secular and spiritual lives. This struggle can leave us feeling confused, disappointed, and troubled. We find ourselves questioning our place in the world, and we sometimes turn away from God, searching for answers in all the wrong places. However, with God's guidance, the answer is often found within the struggle itself. Our book speaks to people who are searching for meaningful and practical insight on how to follow God's word in their daily lives. The reflections provide a deeper understanding of scripture, while serving as a catalyst for love, hope, and peace to a broken world. Although intended for a Christian audience, the reflections offer relevant interpretations of scripture to all people, especially as they face personal struggles in their ever-changing lives. Unique in style, the reflections provide imaginative narratives and practical lessons that linger in the heart and mind. Although they follow the liturgical calendar, each one stands on its own and can be read at any time throughout the year.

Download or read book In His Very Steps written by Charles J Williams Jr and published by Charles Williams. This book was released on 2011-11-05 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone thought someone was doing what needed to be done to help the poor and needy, but people were slipping through the cracks. A mother and her children are overlooked, and a child dies. Written for those who believe the Bible is the ultimate authority in all issues of life, this group of Christians feel they totally blew it by replacing God's written instructions with the status quo. Wanting to not make that mistake again, the Reverend Jim Harter leads a faithful few to embark on a one-year Bible study to ensure they apply Christ's model of faith and obedience in all matters of faith, life, business, and love. Sound impossible? It will be without the Holy Spirit's help and a simple question to guide them, "What does the Bible say?" -- but not everyone is happy with the changes. Ten years in the making and reflective of much of the author's 17 years as a Southern Baptist Pastor, In His Very Steps is a new Christian fiction series emphasizing seven disciplines around the disciples cross: obedience, witnessing, prayer, worship, fellowship, service, and discipleship. In "What Does the Bible Say?" Dr. Williams applies conservative theology and years of evangelical ministry to address ripped-out-of-the-headlines topics: evolution, professional ethics, pre-marital sex, contemporary theology, social responsibility, Christian division, Christianity and politics, and more. The stunning ending will leave you rejoicing while considering how wonderful the world could be if people lived by God's precepts instead of mankind's good-boy guidelines. In reality, living in the very steps of Jesus is not only possible but it is a promised, future reality (Rev 21).

Download or read book A Year of Borrowed Men written by Michelle Barker and published by Pajama Press Inc.. This book was released on 2015-11-11 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When World War II “borrows” the men in seven-year-old Gerda’s family, the German government sends them three new men in return: Gabriel, Fermaine, and Albert, French prisoners of war who must sleep in an outbuilding and work the farm until the war is over. Gerda knows they are supposed to treat the men as enemies, but it doesn’t seem fair. Can’t they invite them into the warm house for one meal? What harm could it do to be friendly? Writing from her mother’s childhood memories of Germany during World War II, Michelle Barker shares the story of one family’s daring kindness in a time of widespread anger and suspicion. Renné Benoit’s illustrations bring warmth to the era, showing the small ways in which a forbidden friendship bloomed: good food, a much-loved doll, a secret Christmas tree. Family photographs and an Author’s Note give further insight into the life of Gerda, the little girl who proved that it isn’t so far from Feinde (enemies) to Freunde (friends).

Download or read book In the Snare of the Fowler written by Dale W. Patterson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2007-08-07 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: City folk pass through one stop light towns often not understanding their charms. They shudder to think of ever living in such a hick address, away from the glitter, glamour, and sophistication of the American metropolitan sprawl. Surprisingly, while rural America is an endangered species, the people that dwell there face many of the same joys and heartaches as city folk. Only the context is changed. In the Snare of the Fowler is a reminiscence of life beyond the stoplight. The stories of the people-at Little League games, Easter Sunrise Services, funerals, high school graduations, county fairs-shed endearing light on life in our small towns. A city-dweller tells these remembrances when by a great surprise he became a parish pastor in just such a town. Rather than being horrified by the tiny dot on the map, he fell in love with the people, and the life in a one-stoplight town.
