Download or read book Be Renewed written by Willem van Vlastuin and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2014-02-19 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Personal renewal or sanctification belongs to the heart of the Christian life and is becoming more important in our present-day culture. Listening to Scripture and in conversation with a variety of theologians from the protestant tradition, the author presents an up-to-date concept for a theology of personal renewal.In this concept the spiritual union with Christ (unio mystica cum Christo) is taken as the starting point in order to consider the way in which renewal obtains form in relation to God, our neighbour, ourselves and the world. To place this concept into a historical perspective, van Vlastuin begins his study with an investigation of Luther and Calvin's theology concerning the relationship between the union with Christ and personal renewal. The concept is developed within the current theological debate, with particular reference to the eschatological character of the Christian life.An important issue concerns the measure of renewal, especially in relation to the sinful heart of the believer. In this context the author also deals with the question of sanctification as a position or a process, and the relation between the two.In addition the relationship between the Holy Spirit and the human soul in the process of renewal is discussed. Another important issue concerns the abiding significance of the law and the way in which it functions in the Christian life. The exploration of several theological positions leads to a modern concept by which to understand law.The study concludes with an investigation of the relationship between the eschatological Christian life in this present life and the complete revelation of the eschaton.

Download or read book Renewal written by Andrew Belcher and published by . This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This devotional is intended to be a starting point for those of us in the Christian community that feel as though we are beaten down by our own lives and think day-by-day that there is no hope for us in the future because we are dull spiritually. It is for those of us who are down-trodden and cast out of our own existences by our own pride. This devotional is for those.The ideas of renewal and restoration in the Bible are wonderful things that can be traced through almost every page and almost every narrative seen in this Holy book. Too many, in fact, for the pages of this book. As we trace these ideas and we learn from them, keep in mind the context of the covenant. By this, I mean one thing that is highly important. In the Old Testament the ideas are similar, but at the same time very different from the ideas in the New Testament. They are not contradictory, just different.In the Old Testament we really see a lot more in terms of outward renewal such as "strength" and "vision" and physical things of life. This is what they needed. Internal spiritual renewal was absolutely present however it is not a main tenant of this former covenant. All of it was prior to the birth of Christ, therefore their hope was in something that they had never seen and most of them never would see. Believers in God in the Old Testament needed, more than anything, to be renewed in those things.New Testament believers on the other hand had seen Jesus. His birth was in their history, rather than in their future. For them renewal was more about internal, spiritual restoration that does not necessarily affect their outward lives in a physical way not that physical restoration was not needed or seen, it is simply not the focus. For this reason, we see things such as "new wine skins" and "the old self vs. new self," etc.All of this is all applicable to our lives. Do not let it affect how you see the Bible just because we see different things inside its covers. There are two different, yet related, portions of the Bible that are to be read and understood in very different, yet related ways.We all could use spiritual renewal in some point in our lives and I pray that through these few short devotionals you understand a bit better how it happens and how you can obtain it through the Power of the Lord.

Download or read book Living in Victory written by Joel Comiskey and published by CCS Publishing. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians desire to grow in their relationship with God. They want to flourish, to experience victory in their Christian lives. They want to live in the overcoming power that the cross provides. But they are stuck. They are like my friend, John, who works sixty hours per week, sits in two hours of traffic each day and carries the burdens of the world on his shoulders. He and his wife, Jenny, love each other, or at least they used to. They now spend their time together carting their kids to activities after driving through Taco Bell for dinner. Every week, John sits in the second row at church, listening to the pastor, and he and Jenny volunteer in the children’s church. But he told me last week that he is exhausted. On the surface, he has a good life, but deep down he is drowning. He has no real victory. How does someone like John stem the tide? How does he start living the victorious lifestyle Jesus came to offer? Many find the answer in promises of a magic pill, something that provides a quick fix. But such fixes don’t exist. The victory of God is an ongoing lifestyle while adopting and applying certain priorities that prepare and equip us for life. True victory comes in heaven and not on earth. And only the Spirit of God living through the believer based on God’s Word can give true victory. But there are basic principles that God has used throughout the centuries to encourage believers and give them victory. In this book, I’ve pinpointed nine principles and priorities that will help a believer live a victorious Christian life. They are: -victory in preparing for eternity -victory in experiencing God's love -victory in God's grace -victory in God’s sovereignty -victory in spending time with Jesus -victory in close relationships -victory in the local church -victory in rest -victory in healthy living These nine priorities will help you understand and apply principles that are simple, biblical, and time-tested to produce spiritual, emotional, and physical benefits. My aim is to stimulate you to live these biblical truths while allowing the Holy Spirit to transform you.

Download or read book Christian Faith Renewed written by David K Ewen and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-04-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book Isn't the renewal of Christian faith truly an awakening of the heart, a journey where we find ourselves asking God to breathe new life into our spirits, creating in us clean hearts and renewing our spirits within us as Psalm 51:10 urges? How profound is it that this spiritual reawakening enables us to view the world through a new lens, where our priorities shift, and the temporary fades away, leaving us to focus on the eternal as described in 2nd Corinthians 4:18? Isn't it like waking up to a new dawn where our hearts are wide open to God's love, guiding us to live with compassion, forgive more readily, and spread kindness in our daily lives? How transformative is this journey, continuously seeking God's presence, letting Him guide our path, and experiencing the growth, discovery, and deeper sense of joy and peace that comes from this closer, more loving relationship with God and those around us? In the journey of faith, there comes a moment that can only be described as a renewal, a profound transformation akin to awakening from a deep slumber. This is the essence of "Christian Faith Renewed: Awakening of the Heart," beautifully encapsulated in the scripture 2nd Corinthians 5:17, where it's declared that anyone in Christ is a new creation, with the old life fading away and a new life beginning. This journey is not just about rediscovering faith; it's about experiencing it in a more profound, life-altering way. Imagine walking through life with a heart not fully aware of its need for something more, something deeper. Then, suddenly, there's a stirring, a realization that the path one has been treading is not as fulfilling as it seemed. This is the first step towards renewal-acknowledging that one's spiritual life has grown stagnant or distant from God. What follows is a heartfelt repentance, a turning away from past misdeeds and a sincere seeking of forgiveness. This act of reconciliation is not merely about saying sorry; it's about changing direction, aiming towards a life illuminated by God's presence. As this transformation unfolds, there's an unmistakable sense of becoming a new creation. The heavy cloak of the past is lifted, replaced by a new self that thrives under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This renewed self begins to see the world differently, valuing love, service, and obedience to God above all else. It's a rebirth that invigorates the believer's actions, thoughts, and desires, steering them towards a path that mirrors Christ's love and teachings. Living out this renewed faith becomes an active, daily endeavor. It's no longer enough to merely claim belief; one must demonstrate it through acts of kindness, generosity, and commitment to God's word. This is the essence of awakening the heart-a realization that faith is not a passive state but a dynamic journey of continuous growth, fueled by prayer, Scripture, fellowship, and witnessing to others. This understanding of renewal and awakening is not a linear path but a cycle of growth, challenges, and rediscovery. Each believer's journey is unique, yet all share the common goal of deepening their connection with God and living out a faith that is vibrant, transformative, and alive. In this process, the heart awakens to the boundless love and grace of God, propelling the believer towards a life that truly reflects the principles of the Christian faith. About the Author Dr. David K. Ewen is someone who truly stands out because of how caring and dedicated he is. He's not just an ordinary minister; he's a source of hope for a lot of people looking for spiritual help and guidance. Whether it's individuals, couples, or entire families, Dr. Ewen is there for them, showing that faith can really make a difference in their lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allah created the earth and then bestowed on man His favor to extract sustenance from it. He also creates the sun moon and the stars to create a just equilibrium and harmony in the universe. The sun provides energy for the growth, sustenance and wellbeing of the humans’ plants and the animals. Gradually man began to extract more than his personal needs from the earth and the boom of economics, trade and commerce started, creating, cycle’s imbalance, disharmony, wars, poverty, and injustice throughout the globe. This disharmony caused by greed not only blemished the humans, but the animal life also suffered by disappearance of species. Pollution and contamination of the environment resulted from race to accumulate and hoard the world’s wealth in a few hands. Man, disobeyed Allah’s universal laws and Allah’s Covenant. In return for all of Allah’s favors Allah commands: Justice, Al-‘Adl. Justice, fairness honesty, integrity and even-handed dealings are a prerequisite of every Muslim’s conduct when dealing with others whether socially or in business transaction Doing what is good and that is beautiful. Al-Ihsan. This attribute includes every positive quality such as goodness, beautiful, pleasing, harmony. Human beings have an obligation to do what is wholesome and beautiful in their relationship with Allah and His creatures. Provide for those near to you, qurba and kith and kin. Help them with wealth, kindness, compassion, humanity, and sympathy. Allah forbids Al-Fahasha, all evil deeds, lies, false testimony, fornication, selfishness, ingratitude, greed, and false belief. One must fulfill the Covenant of Allah and who so ever does beautiful and righteous deeds Allah will give him or her new life and reward them with greater wages. Allah commands justice, the doing of good and liberality to kith and kin and He forbids all shameful deeds and injustice and rebellion: He instructs you, that ye may receive admonition. Fulfill the Covenant of Allah when ye have entered into it and break not your covenants after ye have confirmed them: indeed, ye have made Allah your surety; for Allah knows all that you do. (Qur’an 16:90-91)ô Whoever works righteousness, man or woman and has Faith, verily, to him will We give a new Life, a life that is good and pure and We will bestow on such their reward according to the best their actions. (Qur’an16:97) Tawhid the main pillar off Islam signifies that human’s economic life depends wholly on Allah’s Laws of the universe that their relationship to those who believe is through the obedience to the Covenant of Allah. Allah maintains in the Qur’an that there is no creature on earth the responsibility of whose sustenance is not assumed by Allah. No creature crawls on earth that Allah does not nourish. He knows its essential nature and its varying forms; every detail has its place in the obvious plan. (Qur’an 11:6) How are the people in need provided for their sustenance and needs of daily lives? All wealth belongs to Allah who bestows it on some persons more than others. This wealth is given in trust, whereby the possessor is obliged to give the surplus in Allah’s cause, to his kin, to the widows and orphans and to the needy first in his community and then in the other communities around him. Wealth is to be shared so that not a single individual of the Ummah, or indeed in the world should go hungry or without education and shelter.

Download or read book The Joy of the Gospel written by Pope Francis and published by Image. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth. Includes a foreword by Robert Barron, author of Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith and James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage

Download or read book Spiritual Discipleship written by J. Oswald Sanders and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2017-07-04 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Take time and trouble to keep yourself spiritually fit.” — 1 Tim. 4:7, J. B. Phillips Translation As J. Oswald Sanders points out, true discipleship is more than intellectual assent to a belief in Christ; it involves the whole person and lifestyle. True disciples pursue their Master. They know that God is watching over their faith, but they also take Scripture’s command seriously: “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you.” They take pains, by His power, to look more and more like Jesus. This book will help you to be such a disciple. It examines Jesus’ teaching on what it means to follow Him, helping you become the kind of Christian Jesus wants you to be—not one devised by man or even other Christians. You’ll learn: The profile of an ideal disciple Conditions for discipleship The tests that disciples endure How disciples pray and grow The posture and practices of a disciple And more For anyone who wants to be not just a believer in Christ, but an imitator of Him, this book is a treasured resource. Includes questions for reflection, ideal for both individual and group study.
