Book excerpt: There were many instances in the Bible where nakedness was a form of shame, it was meant to be an embarrassment. Man's shameful nature and nakedness are often the results of a "tattered covenant" and the result of disobedience. But God also ordains the removal of coverings, to expose the king inside, to elevate to the next spiritual level, or to propel one into a destiny of greatness. In this book, we will look at nakedness and coverings in their many roles and symbolism from Genesis to Revelation. "Uncovered", Naked before God.
Download or read book Naked Embarrassed and Exposed written by Shereen K. Lashua and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009-07 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience." (Colossians 3:12) Adam and Eve were embarrassed before God because they were naked. The best they could do was to cover themselves in fig leaves. Like Adam and Eve, we too were naked, embarrassed, and exposed before God. Putting on spiritual fig leaves couldn't cover all of our flaws, scars, and sins. But God, in his great mercy, sacrificed his son to clothe us in his righteousness and character. The problem is our outfit isn't super glued on. We must dress everyday in the spiritual attire God has designed for us. He has provided a stunning outfit, but we need to put it on. We must squeeze into the underwear of humility, to give us a lift ("Humble yourselves...and he will lift you up" James 4:10) so that the rest of our outfit has a good foundation. Let's put on the slacks of compassion and a shirt of gentleness and remember to wear shoes of kindness so that we "keep in step with the Spirit" (Galatians 5:25) taking God's beauty to the world. Over all put on the jacket of patience to protect us from storms. This ten-week study is an opportunity to allow God to become your spiritual Fashion Designer. Adorned in God's finest, you will be gorgeous. You will also be dressed perfectly to enhance your style and personality. Are you tired of being spiritually "Naked, Embarrassed, and Exposed? Then Put Something On." Shereen Lashua is a Bible teacher and speaker. She has been teaching for more than 25 years, focusing on the importance of discipleship in the believer's life. Shereen's sincere desire is to encourage others to glorify God and enjoy him forever.

Download or read book Who Told You That You Were Naked written by Karen L Pryor and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2020-07-22 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Words are powerful and when used correctly can ignite a fire that reveals God's original purpose for a person's life, but words misused can quench that fire and destroy purpose. The book "Who Told You That You Were Naked?" looks at creation and How God used the word to speak and create all that we see and all that we are created to be from the beginning of time. Additionally, "Who Told You That You Were Naked?' looks at how the same words God uses to create and build, the enemy uses to distort and tear down the truth to trick use into forfeiting our Kingdom rights and authority. My prayer is after reading "Who Told You That You Were Naked?" you will experience an "aha" moment and reflect and hear God ask the question, "Who told you that you were naked?" Also, in the that moment come to the realization that your nakedness manifested because the enemy lied, tricked, and then exposed your nakedness. Finally, after reconciling that "aha" moment understand and know we need a Savior to cover our nakedness and redeem what the enemy has stolen. Karen L. Pryor is an ordained minister, evangelist, prayer warrior, and psalmist. The call that God has on her life is to evangelize, and spread that good news of gospel of Jesus Christ, and be a voice of encouragement to the Body of Christ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Truth About Sex and Waiting ... Uncovered and Revealed Purity. Sex. Boys. Waiting. Something about those words makes everything complex in a heartbeat. Is there something wrong with me if I don’t kiss a boy after a date? Or am I doomed if I did? Is waiting a one-way trip to life as a crazy cat woman? And what if I, um, think about a certain boy a certain way? It seems the lady at church and your friends have two very different opinions on the subject. And the purity talks aren’t always cutting it. Bekah Hamrick Martin knows the waiting game isn’t easy or straight-forward. In The Bare Naked Truth, she lays everything on the table—including some embarrassing moments—as she explores the honest, naked truth behind what God means by purity. With additional entries from popular authors, you’ll see the bare naked approach to waiting isn’t always easy, but it’s worth the risk.
Download or read book Jesus in the Shadows written by Eric Robinson and published by . This book was released on 2014-08-10 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jesus in the Shadows" is asking one big question: When Luke tells us in Luke 24:27 that Jesus showed His disciples "the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures," just how are we meant to take the word "all"? Was it intended to be figurative-just Jesus' way of saying, "Hey, no worries, there are a few verses about Me in that book we all like so much, and when you figure them out, you can use them to write your own book and really get the word out"? Or did He mean something immeasurably more? What if some of the most well-known Bible stories (like David and Goliath, Daniel in the Lions' Den, and Jonah and the Whale) are really just Jesus-stories? What if when Luke used the word "all" he really meant ALL? What if the disciples have learned a new way to approach Scripture from the Master, Himself-having their minds opened to the true understanding that God's plan has been right in front of His people the entire time (Luke 24:45)? In "Jesus in the Shadows," Eric Robinson looks very closely at seven of the most well-known Bible stories in all of Scripture, showing how they are actually just thinly-veiled descriptions of Jesus' ultimate work of salvation. Written on a level for any Bible-believer (or any searching heart), Jesus in the Shadows will give a foundation of faith that God's plan was written down in complete detail over centuries before Jesus' body was laid in a manger in Bethlehem. You will never be able to read your Old Testament the same again. Endorsements from bestselling authors: "From the moment the first chapter of this off-the-hook book begins, 'What if Jesus led a Bible study?' I was hooked. You will be too. Hear the Jesus story as it should be told, from Genesis to Revelation." Leonard Sweet, best-selling author and professor, chief contributor to sermons.com "This is a highly readable book, written to be understood by everyone, showing how the Jesus story permeates all the Scriptures. The chapters enable the reader to see how the entire Bible was meant to prepare for Christ, and I recommend it highly." Grant Osborne, author of The Hermeneutical Spiral "Eric Robinson presents a stunning portrait of Christ throughout the ages. I was blown away, again and again, by the insights on every page. If you've ever wondered how the Old and New Testaments fit together, read this book. You'll discover JESUS in all His glory, just as God painted Him for us, on the canvas of human history. Dr. Andrew Farley, bestselling author of The Naked Gospel and God Without Religion "Eric Robinson has written a wonderfully insightful study from the Hebrew Scriptures, showing how they point to Y'shua ha Mashiach, Jesus the Messiah. In a day when stories are becoming more and more important as vehicles for communicating truth, this book is a great reminder of how God has woven the promise of a redeemer throughout His revelation to Israel. If you love to study the Bible you will gain fresh insight into the eternal purposes of God through reading this refreshing book." David Brickner, Executive Director of Jews for Jesus, author of Christ in the Feast of Pentecost

Download or read book Naked and Unafraid written by Kevin Gerald and published by FaithWords. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrate a vulnerable and open life by overcoming your fear of criticism and start living the life God intended. Fear of criticism has turned into a massive epidemic harder than ever to overcome. It prevents people from speaking up; it's why most people struggle to make decisions; it's why we're uncomfortable with vulnerability and openness; and it's why so many are unable to meet their full potential. But it doesn't have to be that way. Through the Bible story of King David dancing naked in the streets while his distant, guarded, and critical wife watches from a window, Naked and Unafraid provides a visual contrast of these two characters that sheds light on the way we all approach life and explains how the fear of criticism impacts our lives much more than we realize or are willing to admit. God didn't create us to live guarded, isolated lives. Our greatest fulfillment isn't found in the window. It's found in the street. Everything in our lives, including our relationships, our work, our emotional and spiritual health, gets better in a place of openness and vulnerability. But that doesn't mean it's easy. . . because it's not. Vulnerability is risky. Exposure is scary. Naked and Unafraid pushes readers to: Find the courage to not let criticism control or determine who they are and what they do. Stop living in the shallow end of relationships and experience the rewards that true vulnerability can bring. Abandon smallness and live the life they were born to live. Discover how the fear of criticism diminishes in direct proportion to understanding it. Reject the limitations and inhibitions of "window living," so they can experience the freedom and rewards of "street life." Confront their own worst critic that counts them out of what God has included them in. God will help you move away from window watching, and toward street dancing. Know who He says you are, and live in that freedom!
Download or read book Hebrews a Commentary written by William H. Bicksler and published by Author House. This book was released on 2005-09-14 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This academic commentary on the original languages and NIV and Greek text of Hebrews focuses on the thought, beliefs, message, that are unique to this biblical author, without reference to any possible person tradition has considered as the author lest such a reference determine all possible outcomes of this study.. The various theories of authorship are studied in the Introduction, but the message in its entirety is of unusual significance for Christian Jewish thought and relationships, and the development of the Christian-Jewish church in the first century and today. The So-called epistle in shell is actually a theological treatise and impassioned sermon to those facing extreme forms of persecution and efforts to coerce denial of the faith. These believers are faced with an accepted legal status as Jews in the Roman Empire versus the people of the Way that was viewed as sectarian by the Jews and as an illegal sect by Rome. The quick expansion of the church into the Roman world under the emphases and apologetics of Paul combating some opposition to his message both in the Jewish leadership as well as in the Jewish Christian churches. The cruciality of holding on to the eternal truths of the past and not compromising the truth in Jesus of Nazareth places this writing front and center to the basic questions of the relationships of church and Judaism. The stance of this author is that of mainline Evangelical thought, with awareness of the Wesleyan, Lutheran, Anabaptist and Calvinistic emphases as well as others. The issues of text, canon, and history of interpretation are specialized studies not covered in this commentary.

Download or read book The Pilgrimage to Heaven written by John C. T. Kim and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-01-15 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pilgrimage to Heaven: How to Have Eternal Life and Enter Heaven focuses attention on two contrasting paths people may take through their lives: the way of indulging personal desires and the way of following Jesus Christ. Author John C. T. Kim provides honest and unsparing glimpses of his journey into the hell of his own creation and the rescue he received through the promise of new life through the gospel of Jesus Christ. His story invites greater appreciation of travails such journeys entail, while providing authentication for the witness he makes to the work of the Lord. Four main sections share personal stories and Christian witness under the headings of The Way of Man, The Life in the World, The Way of God, and The Life in Christ Jesus. Explanations of key biblical terms, explorations of current cultural practices, and consideration of the Bibles message combine to draw out the spiritual challenges of sinful living and to lift up the spiritual blessings of righteousness. If you have found yourself wondering how you fell into captivity to the forces of evil, how you slid into poverty of spirit, and how you wandered into a wilderness of doubt, The Pilgrimage to Heaven offers straightforward and informed guidance for turning your life around, taking a step off of the road gone wrong, and making your pilgrimage toward heaven as a committed disciple of Jesus Christ.
