Download or read book Lead Us Into Temptation written by James B. Twitchell and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 1999-05-06 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coke adds life. Just do it. Yo quiero Taco Bell. We live in a commercial age, awash in a sea of brand names, logos, and advertising jingles—not to mention commodities themselves. Are shoppers merely the unwitting stooges of the greedy producers who will stop at nothing to sell their wares? Are the producers' powers of persuasion so great that resistance is futile? James Twitchell counters this assumption of the used and abused consumer with a witty and unflinching look at commercial culture, starting from the simple observation that "we are powerfully attracted to the world of goods (after all, we don't call them 'bads')." He contends that far from being forced upon us against our better judgment, "consumerism is our better judgment." Why? Because increasingly, store-bought objects are what hold us together as a society, doing the work of "birth, patina, pews, coats of arms, house, and social rank"—previously done by religion and bloodline. We immediately understand the connotations of status and identity exemplified by the Nike swoosh, the Polo pony, the Guess? label, the DKNY logo. The commodity alone is not what we are after; rather, we actively and creatively want that logo and its signification—the social identity it bestows upon us. As Twitchell summarizes, "Tell me what you buy, and I will tell what you are and who you want to be." Using elements as disparate as the film The Jerk, French theorists, popular bumper stickers, and Money magazine to explore the nature and importance of advertising lingo, packaging, fashion, and "The Meaning of Self," Twitchell overturns one stodgy social myth after another. In the process he reveals the purchase and possession of things to be the self-identifying acts of modern life. Not only does the car you drive tell others who you are, it lets you know as well. The consumption of goods, according to Twitchell, provides us with tangible everyday comforts and with crucial inner security in a seemingly faithless age. That we may find our sense of self through buying material objects is among the chief indictments of contemporary culture. Twitchell, however, sees the significance of shopping. "There are no false needs." We buy more than objects, we buy meaning. For many of us, especially in our youth, Things R Us.

Download or read book Temptation Winning the Battle Before the War In Modern English written by John Owen and published by Christian Classics for the Modern Reader. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we guard ourselves against becoming trapped and overcome by our besetting temptations?

This book was originally published in 1658 as Of Temptation: The Nature and Power of it, The Danger of entering into it, and The Means of preventing that Danger with A Resolution of sundry Cases thereunto belonging. This edition attempts to make Owen's writing more accessible to modern readers. It includes the following updates: Complete and carefully updated text. Sentence-level rewriting and rewording for clarity. Modern English sentence structure. Modern English vocabulary. Updated organization and headings.

Download or read book Temptation and Tribulation written by Keith A Buchanan and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-12-20 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For within these pages, one will learn of the many different trials and tribulations that humanity will encounter. For such information is conveyed in a manner of situations that can and may affect one’s life. It is important for the reader to gain knowledge, learning of its message and bringing one to God’s Word and His free gift of Salvation. For this book speaks not of all situations, but those that are most evident. For we live in a world that has fallen to sin. For the darkness prevails all around us, but only for a season under restraints. For it is the grace and mercy of the Lord allowing not the Holy Spirit to be removed from the earth, allowing not the forces of darkness to annihilate all of God’s children and creation. For the hour is now upon all humanity, in such a time as to when the Holy Spirit will be removed from this world, allowing darkness to prevail with great force and enmity, persecuting all whom are in Christ and recruit those whom have rejected His precious gift of salvation. For such a time as this, darkness is becoming more aggressive, visual and audio with ferocious attacks against all humanity. For the time of the anti-christ is at hand, for Satan and his fallen angels await not; for the Lord will allow these darken entities to prevail upon all humanity. For many days have already come to pass, as is the remaining. But now is the time of repentance, for the one world government system will bring many inhabitants upon the earth within its control. For the marking of the beast is already upon us, for time is waning, and many will be given over to the beast by their own decision. But those whom reject this world system, given themselves to the Lord and refusing the mark of the beast, will be hunted and persecuted. For the technology has already been set into motion, and the seat of the anti-christ is awaiting. As the darkness becomes more and more aggressive, judgment is coming upon the earth in a most rapid manner, for those whom heed not to God’s warnings, will experience an event that the world has never seen the likes of, nor will it again. For the hour is at hand, repent, accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and become a child of God. For the hour waits no more! Which side will YOU choose? ETERNAL LIFE or ETERNAL DEATH

Download or read book Ordinary Saints written by Stuart C. Devenish and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-03-08 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does God manifest himself in the world? Through the righteous lives of his holy people (the saints). As a religion of witnesses, Christianity is dependent upon its saints (defined as activated disciples) to "testify" to the grace of Christ and the kingdom of God. Their lives are walking billboards of the value of Jesus' teaching and authenticity of Christianity as an ancient spiritual pathway. This is a book about saints who are alive now, and whose everyday acts of kindness and goodness announce that God is at work in the world. Like Jesus, their Master, they are the message, the messenger, and the working model of the kingdom of God, in a lesser key. In following Jesus, ordinary saints are willing to give away their lives in order to convey the substance of their faith to a watching world. If ever there was a time when saints need to live courageously for Christ in the world, it is now. But it will take conviction, credibility, and a great deal of audacity. Ordinary Saints explores what it means to be a saint in the twenty-first century, by exploring the depth-dimensions of saints' lives, bodies, emotions, values, and relationships.
