Designed for reflection, self-examination, and personal application, with “Examine and Apply” questions at the end of each chapter, this book will chart your course toward greater watchfulness, increased holiness, and deeper communion with the triune God.

Download or read book Vigilant Things written by David T Doris and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2012 Melville J. Herskovits award (African Studies Association) Throughout southwestern Nigeria, Yoruba men and women create objects called aale to protect their properties�farms, gardens, market goods, firewood�from the ravages of thieves. Aale are objects of such unassuming appearance that a non-Yoruba viewer might not register their important presence in the Yoruba visual landscape: a dried seedpod tied with palm fronds to the trunk of a fruit tree, a burnt corncob suspended on a wire, an old shoe tied with a rag to a worn-out broom and broken comb, a ripe red pepper pierced with a single broom straw and set atop a pile of eggs. Consequently, aale have rarely been discussed in print, and then only as peripheral elements in studies devoted to other issues. Yet aale are in no way peripheral to Yoruba culture or aesthetics. In Vigilant Things, David T. Doris argues that aale are keys to understanding how images function in Yoruba social and cultural life. The humble, often degraded objects that comprise aale reveal as eloquently as any canonical artwork the channels of power that underlie the surfaces of the visible. Aale are warnings, intended to trigger the work of conscience. Aale objects symbolically threaten suffering as the consequence of transgression�the suffering of disease, loss, barrenness, paralysis, accident, madness, fruitless labor, or death�and as such are often the useless residues of things that were once positively valued: empty snail shells, shards of pottery, fragments of rusted iron, and the like. If these objects share �suffering� and �uselessness� as constitutive elements, it is because they already have been made to suffer and become useless. Aale offer would-be thieves an opportunity to recognize themselves in advance of their actions and to avoid the thievery that would make the "useless" people.

Download or read book In the Days of Caesar written by Amos Yong and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09-14 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Days of Caesar is a constructive political theology formulated in sustained dialogue with the Pentecostal and charismatic renewal one of the most vibrant religious movements at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Amos Yong here argues that the many tongues, practices, and gifts of renewal Christianity offer up new resources for thinking about how Christian community can engage and transform the social, political, and economic structures of the world. Yong has three goals here. First he seeks to correct stereotypes of Pentecostalism, both political and theological. Secondly he aims to provoke Pentecostals to reflect theologically from out of the depths of their own Pentecostalism rather than merely to adopt some framework for theological or political self-understanding. Finally Yong shows that a distinctively Pentecostal form of theological reflection is not a parochial activity but has constructive potential to illuminate Christian belief and practice. This book s engagement with political theology from a Pentecostal perspective is the first of its kind.

Download or read book Discovering Your Spirit Animal written by Lucy Harmer and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Discovering Your Spirit Animal, shamanic healer Lucy Harmer presents a practical approach to understanding spirit animals and applying their power to specific situations in daily life. Written in clear, simple language and featuring compelling stories and anecdotes, the book explains what a spirit animal is, describes its purpose, and shows that understanding the “medicine” of one’s spirit animal—assimilating its qualities and characteristics—allows one to apply the lessons and messages they convey and use them for personal transformation. Lucy Harmer notes that particular animals that cross one’s path or appear repeatedly nearby probably want us to share in their medicine, their teaching, their energy, and their spirit. Discovering Your Spirit Animal provides guidance for meeting and getting to know one’s spirit animal through easy exercises and shamanic techniques. Lucy Harmer explains how to discover the strengths, qualities, and skills one shares with one’s personal spirit animal, enabling one to learn how to reinforce this connection and access innate wisdom and inner power, overcome fears, increase natural healing capacity, and improve relationships.

Download or read book Are You Ready For Battle written by Apostle Valerie Hooks and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-10 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spiritual WarfareThere is a Spiritual War being waged in the spiritual realm more devastating than all the battles of all the nations throughout history. Our enemy Satan seeks to conquer and destroy the souls, spirits, and bodies of human beings. We are living in troubled and trying times evil is ever before us. Seldom do you read or hear anything good? We are in a constant battle.For us to annihilate Satan, his imps, it is imperative that you have a dedicated prayer life, equipping yourself with the Word of God, that you may endure the fiery darts and circumstances of life.For it is written: Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. I Peter 5:8 (NKJV)Be sober means to be self-disciplined, to think rationally, and not foolishly. One must remain vigilant, alert to the spiritual pitfalls of life, taking appropriate steps to make sure that you do not stumble. Your adversary Satan is your avowed enemy. He never ceases from being hostile toward us; he is always accusing us before God.Job 1:6-9;V6. Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. V7. And the LORD said unto Satan, whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, from going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. V8. And the LORD said unto Satan, hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? V9. Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for naught?Satan was originally an angel of God but became corrupt through his own pride. Satan has been evil since his rebellion against God (1 John 3:8). Satan is God's enemy. He tries to hinder God's work in people, but he is limited by God's power and can do only what he is permitted to do. Luke 22:31, 32; And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fails not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. About Satan, the "you" in verse 31 is plural; Satan wanted to have all the disciples to sift them. All of them would forsake Him and flee, and Peter would deny Jesus three times, yet Jesus prayed, especially for Peter that he would encourage the other disciples.Satan is called the Adversary or Accuser because he actively looks for people to attack with temptation (1 Peter 5:8, 9) and because he wants to make people hate God. He does this through lies and deception (Genesis 3:1-6). Job, a righteous man who had been greatly blessed, was a perfect target for Satan. Any person who is committed to God can expect Satan's attacks. Satan, who hates God, hates God's people as well. From this conversation, we learn a great deal about Satan. 1. He is accountable to God. All angelic beings, good and evil, are compelled to give an account of themselves before God. 2. His thoughts are open to God. God knew Satan was intent on attacking Job. 3. Satan can only be at one place at a time. His demons aid him in his work, but as a created being he is limited. 4. Satan cannot see into our minds or foretell the future. If he could, he would have known that Job would not break under pressure. 5. Because Satan can do nothing without God's permission, God's people can overcome his attacks through God's power (Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them). 6. God always puts limitations on what Satan can do.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Mission is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exist because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate.'

Piper offers a biblical defence of God's supremacy in all things, providing a sound theological foundation for missions.

Let the Nations Be Glad! is a trusted resource for missionaries, pastors, church leaders, youth workers, seminary students, and all who want to connect their labours to God's global purposes. This third edition has been revised and expanded throughout and includes new material on the 'prosperity gospel'.

Download or read book A Vigilant Society written by Javier Roiz and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Vigilant Society presents a provocative hypothesis that argues that Western society as we know it emerged from the soil of Jewish intellectual advances in the thirteenth century, especially those formulated on the Iberian Peninsula. A paradigmatic shift began to occur, one that abandoned the pre–Gothic Sephardic wisdom found in, for example, the writings of Maimonides in favor of what author Javier Roiz calls the "vigilant society." This model embraces a conception of politics that includes a radical privatization of an individual's interior life and—especially as adopted and adapted in later centuries by Roman Catholic and Calvinist thinkers—is marked by a style of politics that accepts the dominance of power and control as given. Vigilant society laid the foundation for the Western understanding of politics and its institutions and remains pervasive in today's world.

Download or read book The Power of Neuroplasticity for Pastoral and Spiritual Care written by Kirk A. Bingaman and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2014-04-10 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies in neuroscience demonstrate that a focus on mindfulness meditation and contemplative spiritual practice has the capacity to increase our non-anxious awareness and significantly lower our stress. Not only is this finding of immediate importance for pastoral counselors and psychotherapists, it will even necessitate a paradigm shift in the way that pastoral and spiritual practitioners approach the general care of souls. The starting point for such a paradigm shift is an acknowledgement of the built-in negativity bias of the brain, and how certain beliefs and theological views may inadvertently reinforce the bias to the detriment of individuals and faith communities. Once necessary for human survival, the ingrained bias can often be excessive for today’s world, resulting in negatively disproportionate assessments of life events and human relationships. To balance the neural predisposition toward negativity and anxious awareness, it is necessary for pastoral and spiritual caregivers, and those in their care, to cultivate a regular contemplative-meditational practice. The Power of Neuroplasticity for Pastoral and Spiritual Care focuses on the groundbreaking finding of contemporary neuroscience—that the brain is built for change across the entire lifespan. It is designed to make the research accessible to and relevant for those engaged in the work of pastoral and spiritual care in order to help clients and congregants effect lasting and transformative changes in the mind and brain. Through the regular practice of contemplative prayer and meditation, we can literally calm the stress region of the brain in order to live less anxiously and experience more fully the peace and joy of the present moment. The introduction of mindfulness- and acceptance-based counseling approaches will provide pastoral and spiritual practitioners with an important therapeutic framework to situate their work, from which they can make more informed and effective interventions geared toward using the mind to change the brain.
