Book Synopsis Abandoned by the Church by : Stevie Rutledge
Download or read book Abandoned by the Church written by Stevie Rutledge and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-01-19 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abandoned By The Church reveals that the author, who as a child was raised behind the scenes of the church with its obvious flaws and issues, found it extremely difficult to fully embrace her relationship with God. Through its pages, Rutledge shares her thoughts and challenges questioning the nature of conservative and traditional Christianity and the understanding of Gods love and Gods word emphasized yet often contradicted by the actions of the so-called judgmental Church Foke around her. We as Christians must learn to accept all who enter the church doors without judgment of gender, skin color, attire, and body hygiene and personality conflicts. We must learn to love others as God loves us despite our religious conflicts or beliefs. Otherwise the church doors will become a revolving vicious cycle of unresolved issues and a mockery to the rest of the world, Rutledge expressed in the book. As Rutledge shares her life experiences and often heart breaking journeys traveled due to her issues with the church, readers will be captivated by her strength and determination to understand Christianity and the true function of the church without the stigma of fear and judgment but the realization of freedom. This book is a clear indictment toward the church, the ineffective religious processes currently set in place and the questionable leadership assigned. Abandoned By The Church will undoubtedly force you to view the church differently, but more importantly, it will inspire you to reevaluate your relationship with God, His believers and the non believers as well. Rutledge wholeheartedly believes that all people were created with a divine plan in mind. Ultimately, this book calls for a dramatic reform of the church.

Book excerpt: What is your greatest priority? Followers of Jesus are called to be disciples who make disciples of all nations. Somewhere along the way global missions have slipped far too low as a priority for individuals and churches. Missions and outreach to the lost is not an option for any true follower of Jesus because if you are a disciple then missions is in your DNA. Jesus requires us all to make disciples and live on mission with Him daily. Missions Abandoned challenges you to refocus your life as Jesus' follower making it a priority to make disciples locally and globally. Jesus has been calling His disciples for centuries to be obedient to follow him and to engage in His mission. Now is your time to follow Jesus and to do what disciples of Jesus do; make disciples. Andrew and Owen confront you to get reacquainted with what it truly means to be His disciple by reintegrating missions and witnessing into your daily life. You will not only be inspired, but also be equipped with the tools to become an effective disciple-maker. "Missions Abandoned" does more than inform followers of Jesus, it challenges us to reevaluate our commitment to missions and our passion for the lost." - Kyle Idleman, teaching pastor at Southeast Christian Church.

Book Synopsis Abandoned to Lust by : Jennifer Wright Knust
Download or read book Abandoned to Lust written by Jennifer Wright Knust and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early Christians used charges of adultery, incest, and lascivious behavior to demonize their opponents, police insiders, resist pagan rulers, and define what it meant to be a Christian. Christians frequently claimed that they, and they alone were sexually virtuous, comparing themselves to those marked as outsiders, especially non-believers and "heretics," who were said to be controlled by lust and unable to rein in their carnal desires. True or not, these charges allowed Christians to present themselves as different from and morally superior to those around them. Through careful, innovative readings, Jennifer Knust explores the writings of Paul, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus of Lyons, and other early Christian authors who argued that Christ alone made self-mastery possible. Rejection of Christ led to both immoral sexual behavior and, ultimately, alienation and punishment from God. Knust considers how Christian writers participated in a long tradition of rhetorical invective, a rhetoric that was often employed to defend status and difference. Christians borrowed, deployed, and reconfigured classical rhetorical techniques, turning them against their rulers to undercut their moral and political authority. Knust also examines the use of accusations of licentiousness in conflicts between rival groups of Christians. Portraying rival sects as depraved allowed accusers to claim their own group as representative of "true Christianity." Knust's book also reveals the ways in which sexual slurs and their use in early Christian writings reflected cultural and gendered assumptions about what constituted purity, morality, and truth. In doing so, Abandoned to Lust highlights the complex interrelationships between sex, gender, and sexuality within the classical, biblical, and early-Christian traditions.

Book Synopsis The Abandoned Gospel by : Odubote David Ololade
Download or read book The Abandoned Gospel written by Odubote David Ololade and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-04-04 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Christ Jesus."(1 Cor. 3:11)This book is not a new move, nor laying a new foundation in the Kingdom. It is a book inspired to bring us back to the laid down landmark that has long been neglected, rejected and abandoned as irrelevant and as non issue today. This old landmark set by the fathers is very crucial and fundamental to our Christian faith. And also it is the present Truth needed for our readiness and preparation for the return of Jesus Christ tomorrow. But unfortunately, this landmark has been changed, by the end-time fathers to set their own. Tomorrow begins today, hence the necessity and the timely requirement of this book for adequate preparation now for His return.It is a widely known and accepted truth that the end-time Church of Christ has lost its salt and original beauty to become dumb and deaf for nonchalant attitude. But the Church, the leaders and the members are crying for reformation and a shift in the present order, as if this reformation is in heaven and seeking who will bring it down for us to hear and do. Moses clearly stated in his book, "But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it." (Deut. 30:11-13)Meaning the shift and reformation we cry for is very much with us but neglected, rejected and abandoned by all.Rev. Sam Aiyedogbon of Realm of Glory, Lagos was a Guest Minister to the 2006 National Convention of First Love Assembly Port Harcourt. I was in one of his teachings titled "Moving from Elementary to Everlasting Power". As soon as he called the anchor Scripture, Heb 6:1-6, read and began to speak, I was immediately cut off into a different spirit environment by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit began to translate the short Scripture and the introduction he made into a dictation of the scripts of this book, " The Abandoned Gospel", like what happened to Prophet Ezekiel in the book of Ezekiel chapter 8:1-3.The unexplainable experience of that day was very unique that I knew God was on a mission to communicate the burden of His heart concerning His Church to the world. He needed a rebirth of His Church from the present order. But the first step to this rebirth is the revival of the long abandoned and missing fathers' old landmark the present truth (Repentance). This is fundamentally important to the return of His Son and the growth of His kingdom. The prompting in my spirit to write the scripts into a book from that moment became very strong, yet I left the outline where I ended it that day undeveloped. Why? I could not see myself as one of the right candidates for this mission of reformation, like Prophet Jeremiah. (Jer. 1:4-12).CLEAR REVELATIONOn Sunday 4th Feb. 2007, I had a very clear revelation that confirmed to me that God is actually giving me a responsibility which I refuse to take. In a dream, I saw an old aged man in white apparel with all the hairs on his head and beard as white as snow, seated on a high golden chair in a Church. On his neck was a gold plated pendant with inscription 3/2. He called me, touched my forehead, started robbing it with his finger tip and said 'channel' several times, and muttering some other words which was not very clear to me. When robbing my forehead, I discovered its bone was very soft like the thigh flesh. And wonder how the bone was soft like flesh. I then asked him what he said which I did not hear clearly. Then the assistant that was standing by Him said, "He said, Mathew 3:2, go and write and preach."Mathew 3:2 says "Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand"The challenge and the burden in the heart of God for this moment is the decay that is evidently clear and seen in the Church, and the world today, hence the need for a genuine repentance in the Church and the world at large"Whom shall I send, And who will go for us"? (Isaiah 6:8)

Book Synopsis Hope in Time of Abandonment by : Jacques Ellul
Download or read book Hope in Time of Abandonment written by Jacques Ellul and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The writings of Jacques Ellul have brought him into the first rank as theologian and social critic. Martin Marty commented that if he had to introduce one man from the Protestant world to tell the church what its agenda should be, that man would be Ellul.The eminent Frenchman now brings us his most profound, most moving theological statement. For years, Jacques Ellul tells us in his preface, he had wanted to write a book on "The Age of Abandonment," for it seemed to him that both society and the church had reached that point described in Scripture when God turns his back and is silent. But when he came to elaborate this theme, Ellul found himself inexplicably writing on the theme of hope, despite the fact that his analysis of society remained unchanged. Hope was now no longer a matter of intellect, but a word asked by God of the heart for its salvation.More than ever before, in this book Jacques Ellul shares with readers not only the darkest forebodings of contemporary man's soul, but also his own struggle to emerge from despair to a stronger level of Christian faith--and hope. He writes of hope, not in the vein of Moltmann and Metz, but in a highly original and penetrating manner.

Book Synopsis Why Men Hate Going to Church by : David Murrow
Download or read book Why Men Hate Going to Church written by David Murrow and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2011-10-31 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Church is boring.” “It’s irrelevant.” “It’s full of hypocrites.” You’ve heard the excuses—now learn the real reasons men and boys are fleeing churches of every kind, all over the world, and what we can do about it. Women comprise more than 60% of the adults in a typical worship service in America. Some overseas congregations report ten women for every man in attendance. Men are less likely to lead, volunteer, and give in the church. They pray less, share their faith less, and read the Bible less. In Why Men Hate Going to Church, David Murrow identifies the barriers keeping many men from going to church, explains why it’s so hard to motivate the men who do attend, and also takes you inside several fast-growing congregations that are winning the hearts of men and boys. In this completely revised, reorganized, and rewritten edition of the classic book, with more than 70 percent new content, explore topics like: The increase and decrease in male church attendance during the past 500 years Why Christian churches are more feminine even though men are often still the leaders The difference between the type of God men and women like to worship The lack of volunteering and ministry opportunities for men The benefits men get from attending church regularly Men need the church but, more importantly, the church needs men. The presence of enthusiastic men is one of the surest predictors of church health, growth, giving, and expansion. Why Men Hate Going to Church does not call men back to church—it calls the church back to men.
