Book excerpt: The Work of the Holy SpiritWhat happens when we adore Jesus?The work of the Holy Spirit in our heart through the adoration of the person of Jesus, present for us in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, is given to us, through this prayer for the feast of St Andrew: "O Lord our God, you chose to build your Church upon faith of Ordinary People, made extraordinary by the companionship of you Son and the power of the Holy Spirit."So through Eucharistic Adoration, the Lord through the companionship with Jesus, wants to make of ordinary people we are, extraordinary people. It means extraordinary husband, wife, children and so on."By adoration, the Christian mysteriously contributes to the radical transformation of the world. Anyone who worships the Savior, attracts with him the whole world and raises it unto God. Those who stand before the Lord to adore him, therefore, are fulfilling an eminent service. They present to Christ those who are far from him. They watch before him on their behalf." St. John Paul II Lord, I understand, when a soul lets the nice perfume of your love captivate her, she cannot run alone....This is done without constraint, without effort, it is a natural consequence of her attraction towards you. Similarly a torrent rushing with impetuosity into the ocean carries with it all that it meets on his way, similarly, O my Jesus, the soul who plunges into the shoreless ocean of your love, attracts with her all the treasures it possesses."

Book excerpt: The author of Desiring God reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Includes a study guide for individual and small-group use. Isn’t it true—we really don’t know someone until we understand what makes that person happy? And so it is with God! What does bring delight to the happiest Being in the universe? John Piper writes, that it’s only when we know what makes God glad that we’ll know the greatness of His glory. Therefore, we must comprehend “the pleasures of God.” Unlike so much of what is written today, this is not a book about us. It is about the One we were made for—God Himself. In this theological masterpiece—chosen by World Magazine as one of the 20th Century’s top 100 books, John Piper reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Then we will be able to drink deeply—and satisfyingly—from the only well that offers living water. What followers of Jesus need now, more than anything else, is to know and love—behold and embrace—the great, glorious, sovereign, happy God of the Bible. “This is a unique and precious book that everybody should read more than once.” —J.I. PACKER, Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia

Download or read book Sacred Pathways written by Gary Thomas and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sacred Pathways reveals nine distinct spiritual temperaments--and their strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies--to help you improve your spiritual life and deepen your personal walk with God. It's time to strip away the frustration of a one-size-fits-all spirituality and discover a path of worship that frees you to be you. Experienced spiritual directors, pastors, and church leaders recognize that all of us engage with God differently, and it's about time we do too. In this updated and expanded edition of Sacred Pathways, Gary Thomas details nine spiritual temperaments and--like the Enneagram and other tools do with personality--encourages you to investigate the ways you most naturally express yourself in your relationship with God. He encourages you to dig into the traits, strengths, and pitfalls in your devotional approach so you can eliminate the barriers that keep you locked into rigid methods of worship and praise. Plus, as you begin to identify and understand your own temperament, you'll soon learn about the temperaments that aren't necessarily "you" but that may help you understand the spiritual tendencies of friends, family, and others around you. Whatever temperament or blend of temperaments best describes you, rest assured it's not by accident. It's by the design of a Creator who knew what he was doing when he made you according to his own unique intentions. If your spiritual walk is not what you'd like it to be, you can change that, starting here. Sacred Pathways will show you the route you were made to travel, marked by growth and filled with the riches of a close walk with God. A Sacred Pathways video Bible study is also available for group or individual use, sold separately.
Download or read book Worship That Pleases God written by Stephen R. Phifer and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2005-05-19 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worship That Pleases God: The Passion and Reason of True Worship is a comprehensive book ranging far beyond the sanctuary to the private altar, to the heart of the worshiper and even to the workplace. Whole-life worship is the kind that pleases God. "...let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praiseÉAnd do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased (Hebrews 13:15, 16 NIV). A worship leader for more than thirty years, Dr. Phifer, brings a passionate writing style and sound biblical interpretation to this search for the meaning of "spirit and truth" worship (John 4:24). Dr. Phifer believes that True Worship establishes the Kingdom of God in our hearts, our homes, our places of worship as well as in the workplace and the marketplace. This book is about much more than what happens on Sunday morning. "Righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit," the three characteristics of the Kingdom of God found in Romans 14:17, form the themes of each section of the book. Section One, Righteousness, deals with a biblical theology of worship. Dr. Phifer offers biblical definitions for the essential elements of worship and he presents seven biblical models for worship. Section Two, Peace, presents the priority of worship as the factor of church life that is intended to bind generations and cultures together in a bond of peace. Section Three, Joy, treats the daily life of the believer dealing with issues of craftsmanship, creativity and the spiritual warfare of private worship. Paul urged the Roman church to "...present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service (of worship)" (Rom 12:1 NKJV [NIV]). Worship That Pleases God is a passionate book presenting that reasonable service of worship to God. HR ALIGN=LEFT

Download or read book The Beauty of Holiness written by Michael P. V. Barrett and published by Ambassador International. This book was released on 2017-08-20 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary! Traditional! Divisive words - particularly when referring to methods of worship. Unhappily, the whole controversy about worship styles has degenerated into arguments based on personal preference. Given the intensity of this worship controversy that is increasingly dividing professedly Bible-believing churches into distinctive camps, I have felt inclined to make my contribution to the concern. I am convinced that the Bible does establish clear guidelines for both what we are to believe (issues of faith) and what we are to practice (issues of obedience) and that this direction includes matters of worship. If there is any overriding biblical truth that must circumscribe every worship practice, it is that worship is all about God and not about us. There is little hope of worshipping in a manner that is pleasing to the Lord if we do not start with the Bible and stress what it stresses. The Beauty of Holiness is a guide to what the Bible says about the object, manner, and the heart of worship. We must never shy away from what the Bible says regardless of how out of sync with culture it seems to be. God’s Word not culture - whether modern or medieval - defines the way of worship.

Download or read book Pleasing God written by R.T. Kendall and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2023-11-07 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pleasing God is a practical resource for Christian living that inspires believers to seek the greatest honor of anyone's lifetime--to have the privilege of pleasing God. Christ's total forgiveness means that we do not have to earn our salvation. When we give our lives to Jesus, we are justified by faith alone. Good works are not required. Prayer is not required. Practicing total forgiveness is not required. Wow--what a gift! But chances are, if you have been born again you want to do good works. You want to pray. You want to forgive and love your enemies. You desire to please God. In Pleasing God, bestselling author and well-known preacher, R.T. Kendall, unfolds the meaning of persistent faith. Starting with the story of Enoch, Dr. Kendall explores biblical teachings that call believers to "find out what pleases the Lord" (Ephesians 5:10). With biblical teaching, personal stories, and humble wisdom, Dr. Kendall answers these questions: What pleases God (and what displeases Him)? Why should we please God? How should we please God? Imagine the joy and peace that will come from pleasing God more than seeking approval from others. The world needs this book!

Download or read book Give Your All to God written by Morris Williams and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2019-03-22 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God instructs us to give our whole life to him as a holy and living sacrifice. But how do we do this? What does it mean to truly surrender your life to God as a sacrifice? One great way is to pattern yourself after Israel’s offerings. Give Your All to God focuses on the burnt offering and explains how while the people of Israel used a physical animal as a sacrifice, today we offer every part of our lives to God. And just as the physical offering was divided into five parts and burned up completely, we can take this unique example and apply it to our own sacrifice of our heart, soul, strength, mind, and everything else. Author Morris Williams presents sixteen worship behaviors that we can offer to God every day, enabling us to be a complete and total offering to God. You must give your all to God, and doing so is what pleases him as you follow his instructions. And likewise, surrendering fully to God is part of his plan of salvation through Jesus Christ—the ultimate sacrifice, who died for you so you could become a valued member of God’s family.
