Book Synopsis A Faith Worth Believing, Living, and Commending by : Dennis Ngien
Download or read book A Faith Worth Believing, Living, and Commending written by Dennis Ngien and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-03-01 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The materials presented here are reflections on a variety of topics: a belief in God's suffering and the pastoral implications of this; Luther's theology of preaching; practical approaches to evangelistic preaching; pastoral advice on death and dying; apologetic preaching in a post-Christian culture on the model of Paul; effective living in the power of the Holy Spirit, striking a balance between enthusiastic service and fervent love; the image of God's love in the Old Testament; and personal exhortations. Although this book was written on the balcony of my own study where reflection and meditation are carried out, it is cognizant of ministry contexts where people's needs and struggles are most evident. With anecdotes and analyses, the readers will be enabled to discern the signs of divine transcendence in their lives, and to apprehend, or rather to be apprehended by, the beauty of God's grace--the abiding basis of our being and well-being. What has been written in this book reveals the heartbeat of a mentor who earnestly hungers for divine beauty and holiness, a mentor whose hunger God eagerly fulfills, just as he promises, and a mentor who wishes this same fulfillment to happen for readers. The basic assumption in this book is this: a faith that is worth believing is a faith that is worth living, and thus worth commending. The book is also an exercise of faith seeking understanding--understanding only God could supply. It is written with the hope that it will lead readers from knowing God to loving him, to enjoying him, and finally to proclaiming him so that others will be brought into the orbit of God's inestimable grace. Not until our hearts, which God's heart touches, touch the heart of others is our ministry complete and our life found pleasing to God.

Book Synopsis A Faith Worth Believing in the Last Days by : David Dombrowski
Download or read book A Faith Worth Believing in the Last Days written by David Dombrowski and published by . This book was released on 2024-02-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this present perilous time in history when the world is in great turmoil, the church should be a beacon of light, pointing the lost to a faith that is worth believing. But how can the church point to such a faith when it is floundering itself? False teachings and dangerous distortions of the Gospel message have seduced countless Christians and the pastors and leaders they unwittingly follow. A Faith Worth Believing in the Last Days shows the way back to the shore of truth by untangling the ropes of deception that have captivated and imprisoned the hearts of so many. While covering such topics as Calvinism, Catholicism, false signs and wonders, New Age and pagan practices, legalism, and the coming one-world religion and the Antichrist, the book brings clarity to what biblical faith looks like and why it should be defended, protected, and believed. A faith defended in the midst of growing apostasy. A faith protected from unbiblical teachings that contradict truth. A faith believed and shared with a lost and dying world.

It is time to embrace a new perspective-a faith that is coherent, relevant to the age in which we live, and aligned with the integrity of heart and mind. It is time to leave behind the archaic beliefs of a less enlightened age and discover a twenty-first-century God worth believing and following. Leaving Religion: Finding God will challenge your assumptions, preconceptions, and religious understandings. You will meet a God you never knew existed and gain a greater appreciation for the Christian message as it was meant to be told. You may even experience a spiritual transformation of epic proportions. Buckle your seat belt: your understanding and experience of God are about to change! Are you up for the challenge?

Book Synopsis Discover the Mystery of Faith by : Glenn Packiam
Download or read book Discover the Mystery of Faith written by Glenn Packiam and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if the way we worship isn't just an expression of our faith, but is what shapes our faith? The Church has believed this about the way we worship and pray together for centuries: The way we worship becomes the way we believe. But if this is true, it’s time to take a closer look at what we say and sing and do each week. Drawing from his own discovery of ancient worship practices, Glenn Packiam helps us understand why the Church made creedal proclamations and Psalm-praying a regular part of their worship. He shares about why the Eucharist was the climactic point of their corporate “re-telling of the salvation story.” When our worship becomes a rich feast, our faith is nourished and no longer anemic. The more our worship speaks of Christ, the more we enter into the mystery of faith.
Download or read book Brave by Faith written by Alistair Begg and published by The Good Book Company. This book was released on 2021-05-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn from the book of Daniel how to live confidently for Christ today. What does it look like to live with joy in a society that does not like what Christians believe, say or do? It’s tempting to grow angry, keep our heads down, retreat or just give up altogether. But this isn’t the first time that God’s people have had to learn how to live in a pagan world that opposes God’s rule. In this realistic yet positive book, renowned Bible teacher Alistair Begg examines the first seven chapters of Daniel to show us how to live bravely, confidently and obediently in an increasingly secular society. Readers will see that God is powerful and God is sovereign, and even in the face of circumstances that appear to be prevailing against his people, we may trust him entirely. We can be as brave as Daniel if we have faith in Daniel’s God! "The message of Daniel is incredibly relevant for us in our generation. Not because it maps out a strategy for how to deal with our new lack of status ... or because Daniel was a great man and we need to follow his example. The reason is that it will help us to believe in Daniel’s God." Alistair Begg, author.

Book Synopsis A Faith Worth Living by : Chuck Queen
Download or read book A Faith Worth Living written by Chuck Queen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-03-03 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does a Christianity constructed upon and pervaded by a theology of God's unconditional love look like? Aimed at a wide audience, A Faith Worth Living provides one portrait. Chuck Queen weaves together biblical interpretations, theological reflections, and spiritual observations drawn from stories, movies, literature, and common life experiences in his argument for an inclusive Christianity. In a simple, though scholarly informed style, he addresses Christians, students of religion, and spiritual seekers. Key elements of the presentation include: a transformative faith (holistic and non-dualistic), God's dream for the world (kingdom theology), Jesus' nonviolent atonement, the church as a kingdom community, universal salvation (judgment and the cosmic Christ), acceptance of other religious traditions, and the dynamics of a radical discipleship to the way of Jesus.
