Download or read book written by Lawrence Hall Dawson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2005-06-01 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the years, I have felt a deep bewilderment regarding humankind's varied interpretations of God's Word and/or of those Spiritual teachings which have been attributed to the Messengers of God. I took a monumental leap of Faith and went beyond the boundaries of organized religion; I went to The Source Itself; The Source of all TRUTH, God, my Creator. It was only recently that I was privileged to be Given a Direct Line to TRUTH: a new Revelation on how to Commune directly with God, our Creator. As an analogy, God Served as the Master Storage Bank of all TRUTH; my mind became as the Terminal Computer and the Modem was The Christ or my At-ONEment with God. No longer need I be dependent upon the word of humankind; through The Mediator, The Christ, I was now provided with an immediate, untarnished Access to God's Word. For those who do not believe that humankind today can have direct Access to God's Word, may I suggest re-reading with an open mind these verses attributed to Jesus, The Christ as written in the Holy Bible; St. John 14: 12-14: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. "If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it." Does humankind Truly Believe as Jesus, The Christ did, "I and my Father are One...?" It was through my TRUE Self, The Christ Self, during my Communion with God Mind that all quoted material of Return to TRUTH was Given to me in Answer to my questions, my questions which were Seeking the TRUTH that will set humankind free. Remember: "Understanding (that which is NEW), will need an openness of mind as that which is NEW tends to destroy that which is OLD. Openness means willingness to entertain NEW ideas. Amen."

Book excerpt: What is the one aspect of this broken world that, when you see it, touch it, get near it, you just can’t stand? Very likely, that firestorm of frustration reflects your holy discontent, a reality so troubling that you are thrust off the couch and into the game. It’s during these defining times when your eyes open to the needs surrounding you and your heart hungers to respond that you hear God say, “I feel the same way about this problem. Now, let’s go solve it together!”Bill Hybels invites you to consider the dramatic impact your life will have when you allow your holy discontent to fuel instead of frustrate you. Using examples from the Bible, his own life, and the experiences of others, Hybels shows how you can find and feed your personal area of holy discontent, fight for it when things get risky, and follow it when it takes a mid-course turn. As you live from the energy of your holy discontent, you’ll fulfill your role in setting what is wrong in this world right!

Download or read book Living with the Father written by Mary A. Wood and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-07-28 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adoption has had a stigma in many societies throughout history. Our own society is no different. Many people don’t like the idea of adoption because they believe they could never love a child that was not their biological child like they would love their own. The ones who do venture out and adopt children often face difficult trials with those children because the child feels abandoned, though they have “new” parents who love them. God is the giver of children no matter how they are obtained. He is the one who orchestrates the events to match up parents and children. It was the case in Queen Esther’s life. She was orphaned at a very young age and then adopted by her older cousin Mordecai. Mordecai loved Esther like his own daughter. He was a devout Jew and loved God. He instilled in Esther an unwavering faith in God and an uncompromising set of values that stood the test of the highest position a woman could have in the whole kingdom. Esther didn’t spend her early womanhood feeling sorry for herself because she was orphaned or adopted. She trusted God and was obedient to her cousin/adopted father. Since I have had the pleasure and the pain that accompanies adoption, I better understand my own adoption into my heavenly Father’s family. Adoption is a beautiful experience. It opens your heart up for more love than you ever thought possible. It’s not without it’s trials and questions, but then neither is motherhood by biological birth giving. I experienced both. I have had trials and questions about what God was doing in both cases. Never the less, opening your heart to any child is a beautiful thing. Esther had a beautiful submissive spirit. She never questioned Mordecai’s role in her life. She was obedient to him. As the story unfolds in the book of Esther, you see that Esther either grasped the big picture or was willing to trust that her father knew what he was talking about and trusted God for the outcome. Because of that, God used her mightily and the whole Jewish nation was spared. When I reflect on the adoption experience, I have watched a beautiful woman emerge. That has taught me about the beauty that God wants to bring out in me as His adopted daughter.

Download or read book Behold the Mystery written by Mark Hart and published by The Word Among Us Press. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Catholics, the Mass should be a mountaintop experience for us. Often, though, we go through the motions at Mass without an appreciation for what has really happened. Popular speaker and author Mark Hart helps Catholics move beyond the repetition and ritual to see the Mass for what it really is: a heavenly banquet, a wedding feast, in which heaven and earth meet. In his engaging style, Hart guides readers toward a deeper understanding of the Mass—its roots in the Jewish Sabbath, its sacrificial character, and its signs and symbols. As we are told to “go in peace,” he inspires us to see the Mass as a place to be nourished so that we can further Christ’s mission in the world. In the last part of the book, Hart provides pithy answers to frequently asked questions, such as “Why can’t I leave right after Communion?” or “Why did the words change?” Finally, Hart offers ten things we can do to get more out of Mass.

Download or read book Keeping the Sabbath Wholly written by Marva J. Dawn and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 1989-08-24 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “But I don’t wanna go to church!” Marva Dawn has often heard that cry—and not only from children. “What a sad commentary it is on North American spirituality,” she writes, “that the delight of ‘keeping the Sabbath day’ has degenerated into the routine and drudgery—even the downright oppressiveness—of ‘going to church.’” According to Dawn, the phrase “going to church” both reveals and promotes bad theology: it suggests that the church is a static place when in fact the church is the people of God. The regular gathering together of God’s people for worship is important—it enables them to be church in the world—but the act of worship is only a small part of observing the Sabbath. This refreshing book invites the reader to experience the wholeness and joy that come from observing God’s order for life—a rhythm of working six days and setting apart one day for rest, worship, festivity, and relationships. Dawn develops a four-part pattern for keeping the Sabbath: (1)ceasing—not only from work but also from productivity, anxiety, worry, possessiveness, and so on; (2) resting— of the body as well as the mind, emotions, and spirit—a wholistic rest; (3) embracing—deliberately taking hold of Christian values, of our calling in life, of the wholeness God offers us; (4) feasting—celebrating God and his goodness in individual and corporate worship as well as feasting with beauty, music, food, affection, and social interaction. Combining sound biblical theology and research into Jewish traditions with many practical suggestions, Keeping the Sabbath Wholly offers a healthy balance between head and heart: the book shows how theological insights can undergird daily life and practice, and it gives the reader both motivation and methods for enjoying a special holy day. Dawn’s work— unpretentiously eloquent, refreshingly personal in tone, and rich with inspiring example—promotes the discipline of Sabbath-keeping not as a legalistic duty but as the way to freedom, delight, and joy. Christians and Jews, pastors and laypeople, individuals and small groups—all will benefit greatly from reading and discussing the book and putting its ideas into practice.

Download or read book The Penguin Book of Greek and Latin Lyric Verse written by Christopher Childers and published by Random House. This book was released on 2024-08-01 with total page 749 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Inspired and enlightening ... here is a work of staggering ambition, exceptional accomplishment, and surprisingly pleasant reading ... an excellent gift for anyone interested in classical literature' A. E. Stallings, Telegraph 'An extraordinary feat ... Over and over, I was impressed both by Childers's technical abilities and his vivid way of evoking the multiple voices in this rich tradition' Emily Wilson, translator of the Odyssey and the Iliad 'Where does the lyric begin? One answer – a capacious and generous one – is given by Christopher Childers's anthology, in which translations of both Greek and Latin lyric poetry are offered in large servings, with extensive and ambitious commentary ... bold and worthwhile ... readable and learned' Peter McDonald, TLS 'An extraordinary achievement, in scope, scale and skill' Richard Jenkyns, author of Classical Literature The poems in this lively, wide-ranging and richly enjoyable anthology are the work of priestesses and warriors; of philosophers and statesmen; of teenage girls, concerned for their birthday celebrations; of drunkards and brawlers; of grumpy old men, and chic young things. Their authors write – or sing – about hopes, fears, loves, losses, triumphs and humiliations. Every one of them lived and died between 1,900 and 2,800 years ago. The Penguin Book of Greek and Latin Lyric Verse is a volume without precedent. It brings together the best of two traditions normally treated in isolation, and in doing so tells a captivating story about how literature and book-culture emerged from an oral society in which memory and learning were transmitted through song. The classical vision of lyric poetry as understood by the greatest ancient poets – Sappho and Horace, Bacchylides and Catullus – mingles and interacts with our expansive modern vision of the lyric as the brief, personal, emotional poetry of a human soul laid bare. Anyone looking for a picture of what ancient poets were up to when they were simply singing to the gods, or to their friends, or otherwise opening little verbal windows into their life and times can find it here. It is a volume full of fire and life: an undertaking of astonishing reach, and an accomplishment magisterial in its scope.

Download or read book Made in Our Image written by Steven J. Lawson and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2000-05-10 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital imaging can alter a picture so fast it leaves people asking, "What is reality?" Have we bought into a user-friendly, "designer" God of our own? In his eighth provocative primer on Christian living, Pastor Steven Lawson asks if we're seeing a true picture of God these days, or a distorted one designed to fit a popular image on the present cultural canvas? Lawson tackles the timely topic on the personal and greater church levels. Non-condemning, Made in Our Image alerts readers to the dangers of a socially constructed deity and inspires them to "accept no counterfeits" for the true, living, sometimes "socially incorrect" God.
