Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has always been the subject of my attention as to why bad things always happen to good people. Or why is it that innocent people are the ones that always get hurt? Or why is it that evil or evilness always seems to overshadow good or goodness? What calls my attention even more is how individuals, families, nations, and even ministries can be victims of an atmosphere of reoccurring negative events in their lives in which they are unable to give any logical explanations for. It’s as if they were fighting against an invisible force that’s opposing all their attempts to move forward in their lives. What spirit force is behind all these evil and unjust happenings that are occurring around our world? What is this spirit that leaves in its wake a trail of pain, hurt, and destruction? The spiritual force behind all these inexplicable atrocities has a name and it is called the spirit of injustice, the truth never before revealed behind the struggles we have to face daily. The assignment of this evil spirit is to cause opposition and difficulties in the lives of people. Here you will find out how to identify this evil spirit of injustice, how it operates, what strategies it uses to attack us, and how it can infiltrate our lives, families, and nations. You will learn how to break off with cycles of injustice in your life, how to come out victorious from its attacks, and how to activate God’s blessings over your life. You will also learn how to reaffirm your true identity as a child of God and start seeing yourself according to the parameters of God’s kingdom and not as your surroundings and circumstances dictate them to you. Our target is to unmask this evil spirit that has been doing warfare against God’s people for centuries. It is our greatest desire that you can reach the fulfillment of your purpose that God has prepared for you from before the foundation of the world.
Download or read book Unmasking the Powers written by Walter Wink and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 1993-03-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Angels, Spirits, principalities, powers, gods, Satanthese, along with all other spiritual realities, are the unmentionables of our culture. The dominant materialistic worldview has absolutely no place for them. But materialism itself is terminally ill, and, let us hope, in process of replacement by a worldview capable of honoring the lasting values of modern science without succumbing to reductionism. Therefore, we find ourselves returning to the ancient traditions, searching for wisdom wherever it may be found. We do not capitulate to the past and its superstitions, but bring all the gifts our race has acquired along the way as aids in recovering the lost language of our souls. In Naming the Powers I developed the thesis that the New Testament's principalities and powers is a generic category referring to the determining forces of physical, psychic, and social existence. In the present volume we will be focusing on just seven of the Powers mentioned in Scripture. Their selection out of all the others dealt with in Naming the Powers is partly arbitrary: they happen to be ones about which I felt I had something to say. But they are also representative, and open the way to comprehending the rest. They are: Satan, demons, angels of churches, angels of nations, gods, elements, and angels of nature.
Download or read book Premeditated Injustice written by Dave J. Cantrall and published by . This book was released on 2003-06-30 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This inspirational, life-changing book examines the difficult circumstances that invade our lives and adversely affect productivity. At times we feel ourselves at a standstill with another roadblock ahead. We withdraw and suffer emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Intense pain can deprive us of our focus and energy. The causes are numerous. The results are crippling. Like a defeated team member sitting on a bench, we experience inactivity, ineffectiveness, and power failure. Our strength and enthusiasm are gone. But, as we shift our attention to the power and resources of God's gifts, leave the bench and go back to the game, life again becomes joyful and rewarding. Through true stories, vivid illustrations and Biblical accounts, the author provides compelling incentives to return to the living that God has intended for us. Candid directions are given to spark motivation and positive action for surmounting obstacles, rejecting defeat and uselessness, and moving forward on the playing field of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new commentary in the New Testament Library series is not a systematic study of Pauline theology; rather, the aim of this study is to trace Paul's theology as it unfolds in his letter to the church at Galatia, and to attempt to illuminate, as far as possible, how the Galatians likely comprehended it, at the time they received it. The author asks readers to imagine themselves as silent witnesses to Paul's dictation of the letter and to observe, through a historical perspective, how the Galatian Christians might have understood Paul's words.

Download or read book Unjust written by Noah Rothman and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-01-29 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An elegant and thoughtful dismantling of perhaps the most dangerous ideology at work today." — BEN SHAPIRO, bestselling author and host of "The Ben Shapiro Show" "Reading Noah Rothman is like a workout for your brain." — DANA PERINO, bestselling author and former press secretary to President George W. Bush There are just two problems with “social justice”: it’s not social and it’s not just. Rather, it is a toxic ideology that encourages division, anger, and vengeance. In this penetrating work, Commentary editor and MSNBC contributor Noah Rothman uncovers the real motives behind the social justice movement and explains why, despite its occasionally ludicrous public face, it is a threat to be taken seriously. American political parties were once defined by their ideals. That idealism, however, is now imperiled by an obsession with the demographic categories of race, sex, ethnicity, and sexual orientation, which supposedly constitute a person’s “identity.” As interest groups defined by identity alone command the comprehensive allegiance of their members, ordinary politics gives way to “Identitarian” warfare, each group looking for payback and convinced that if it is to rise, another group must fall. In a society governed by “social justice,” the most coveted status is victimhood, which people will go to absurd lengths to attain. But the real victims in such a regime are blind justice—the standard of impartiality that we once took for granted—and free speech. These hallmarks of American liberty, already gravely compromised in universities, corporations, and the media, are under attack in our legal and political systems.
Download or read book Healing Haunted Histories written by Elaine Enns and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healing Haunted Histories tackles the oldest and deepest injustices on the North American continent. Violations which inhabit every intersection of settler and Indigenous worlds, past and present. Wounds inextricably woven into the fabric of our personal and political lives. And it argues we can heal those wounds through the inward and outward journey of decolonization. The authors write as, and for, settlers on this journey, exploring the places, peoples, and spirits that have formed (and deformed) us. They look at issues of Indigenous justice and settler “response-ability” through the lens of Elaine’s Mennonite family narrative, tracing Landlines, Bloodlines, and Songlines like a braided river. From Ukrainian steppes to Canadian prairies to California chaparral, they examine her forebearers’ immigrant travails and trauma, settler unknowing and complicity, and traditions of resilience and conscience. And they invite readers to do the same. Part memoir, part social, historical, and theological analysis, and part practical workbook, this process invites settler Christians (and other people of faith) into a discipleship of decolonization. How are our histories, landscapes, and communities haunted by continuing Indigenous dispossession? How do we transform our colonizing self-perceptions, lifeways, and structures? And how might we practice restorative solidarity with Indigenous communities today?

Download or read book Unmasking Prejudice written by Melodye Hilton and published by Atlantic Publishing Company. This book was released on 2019 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prejudice is a word that is often associated solely with race. However, the truth is that we "pre-judge" all the time based upon countless factors, including gender, age, race, beliefs, politics, or any other infinite number of minute differences; it is a common habit for all of humanity to form an opinion without facts, firsthand experience, and without empathy and value for our fellow man. What if these habits changed? What if our default response was first to love, to learn, and to listen? In "Unmasking Prejudice: Silencing the Internal Voice of Bigotry", Dr. Melodye Hilton thoughtfully addresses:- The many faces of prejudice and bigotry;- Pre-judgment and assumption as societal stumbling blocks;- The dangers of gossip, rumors, and slander;- The personal pain of prejudice through real-life stories; and- Our responsibility as humans to stop devaluation by representing a restorative influence."Unmasking Prejudice: Silencing the Internal Voice of Bigotry" invites all of us to recognize and remove the hidden masks of prejudice so that we can have a hand in changing the cultural narrative and bringing healing to our land.

Download or read book Radical Christianity written by Christopher Rowland and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2004-12-09 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At different times and places, Christian ideas have had a radical, critical role and have served as a basis for programs of social change. This concise and clearly written book documents the history of radical Christianity by discussing some of the most important developments and figures, from the millenarian movements of early Christianity to the liberation theology of today. Christopher Rowland begins by discussing the character and transformation of early Christian ideas and the ongoing patterns of protest against the status quo. Subsequent chapters deal with the legacy of the Apocalypse and with the work of Thomas Muenzer and Gerrard Winstanley. A final chapter on liberation theology examines the role of religion in Latin America today, where basic Christian communities have emerged as power-houses of social and political reform. 'Radical Christianity' is a reading of recovery which shows that social criticism and hope for a better world are integral features of the Christian tradition. The book will be of great interest to students of religion and to anyone concerned with the role of religious ideas in past and present-day societies.

This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

In Woke Religion: Unmasking the False Gospel of Social Justice, Wes Carpenter unashamedly addresses these heretical teachings, calling on those in spiritual authority to deny woke philosophies and cling to the teachings of Scripture. Follow Wes as he takes the reader from the stirrings of woke critical theory in Church history to the teachings that are pervading the Church today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a servant leader, you will experience lightning wars because your commitment to follow Christ and love the people comes with a cost and that is, sharing your heart and spending much of your time with persons who do not really know you. Remember, the disciples did not fully understand the identity and mission of Jesus. The Holy Spirit constantly reminds me of this. They witnessed Jesus healing the sick and raising the dead, but they did not know Jesus. We have not healed the sick nor raised the dead. Therefore, we should not be surprised if people that we think would know our heart and spirit, do not.
