Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helping Leaders to Develop Meaningful Church Membership Many new believers have questions about what it means to live as a Christian in the context of a local church, and pastors are looking for resources to pass along to their congregations to help them think biblically about the Christian life. Created in partnership with 9Marks, Church Questions is a series that seeks to provide ordinary Christians with sound and accessible biblical teaching by answering common questions Christians have about church life. Each booklet offers biblical answers and practical applications with the goal of nurturing healthy church practice and commitment.

Duke highlights the benefits of church membership—discipleship, accountability, and fellowship—and offers advice on how all Christians can encourage faithful church membership in their congregations.

Download or read book Truth Plus Love written by Matt Brown and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine what our world might look like if Christians became known for remarkable love, as well as life-giving truth. The stakes are high and the need is great for Christians to represent Jesus to a watching world. And today, we have more influence than ever before--for better and for worse. We are among the first generations to have access to a global megaphone through social media. But it's not enough to speak truth louder to a noisy culture. To counter the reputation Christians have earned, our love must be just as loud. Ask evangelist Matt Brown, and he will tell you Christians today are facing a crisis of influence. In our rush to speak truth to today's tensions, cultural issues, and trending controversies, it becomes all too easy to focus on proving our points rather than extending God's grace. Conversely, when we seek only to love yet never proclaim a better way, we short-circuit God's plan. Truth Plus Love invites you to rediscover the biblical framework for engaging culture as ambassadors of Christ. Through biblical insight, cultural analysis, and practical principles, Matt Brown outlines how to champion truth without compromise, how to love unconditionally, and ultimately, how to step into this great adventure of representing God to the world. It's hard, it's messy, and it's the unfinished project of a lifetime, yet here we find our great adventure: representing God to a watching world.

This book was released on 2022-05-04 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowing the right path to take to help secure your place in Heaven is something we all fear and struggle with. We have our own ideas about what it takes, but are those ideas correct? The teachings that Christ has left us hold all the answers. Unfortunately, many simply don't know what they are or have their own interpretations of them. With the uncertainty of even one more day, we must enlighten ourselves with accurate understandings of what's required of us in this life. Father Bernard Champagne is a Benedictine monk who spent his eighty plus years educating himself on this very subject. Presenting no personal opinions, everything written in this book are church teachings and will offer you: *Ways to draw yourself to a closer, more personal relationship with God, *How to avoid sin and its near occasions, *Establish ways to develop and advance your daily spiritual life, and *More effective ways to communicate with God. Very often, fear, anxiety, or confusion will distract us from ascertaining what we need to know, thus leaving us completely unprepared for what awaits us when we die. Making the decision to develop and manage your spiritual life now will lead you to the glory of life eternal. Here, within these pages, this precious information awaits you.
Download or read book Exploiting Children written by Matt Spencer and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2013-09-20 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America’s citizens want children to receive a high-quality education in clean, orderly and safe schools staffed with quality teachers, support staff and courageous educational leaders. In many communities, such a school experience is something the students will never have. Why? One or more members of the governing board desire to use their elected position for personal gain. They are Exploiters. Some desire to exploit a little. Others crave total domination of the school system and become the petty tyrants of education. Whether the exploitation is minimal or extreme, exploitative board members are highly detrimental to the effectiveness of the local school system. They destroy teamwork, morale, careers and many times entire school systems. They steal a high-quality education from children. The predominant governance structure of public education dictated by law is seriously flawed. What thousands of citizens and educators strongly desire for their schools can be discarded and replaced with the unscrupulous will of one individual. Exploitive school board members must be understood and stopped. The governance structure of public education must be changed.
