Download or read book Churchfails written by David K. Stabnow and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2016-05-01 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: churchfails is a collection of 100 articles describing people who claim to be Christians doing foolish things. Each article will include a picture of the subject. From the Introduction: "Groucho Marx once said, “I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.” If Christianity is a club, it has featured innumerable inglorious members. As abashed affiliates of said club, what can we do? We can try to deny our past and present peccadilloes, but covering up a crime is like poking a polecat—it’s worse in the end. So, we can rant and rave, or we can laugh and learn. This book settles on the second strategy."
Book Synopsis The Other Half of Church by : Jim Wilder
Download or read book The Other Half of Church written by Jim Wilder and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Could brain science be the key to spiritual formation? Why does true Christian transformation seem fleeting? And why does church often feel lonely, Christian community shallow, and leaders untrustworthy? For many Christians, the delight of encountering Christ eventually dwindles—and disappointment sets in. Is lasting joy possible? These are some of the questions Michel Hendricks has considered both in his experience as a spiritual formation pastor and in his lifetime as a Christian. He began to find answers when he met Jim Wilder—a neurotheologian. Using brain science, Wilder identified that there are two halves of the church: the rational half and the relational half. And when Christians only embrace the rational half, churches become unhealthy places where transformation doesn’t last and narcissistic leaders flourish. In The Other Half of Church, join Michel and Jim's journey as they couple brain science with the Bible to identify how to overcome spiritual stagnation by living a full-brained faith. You'll also learn the four ingredients necessary to develop and maintain a vibrant transformational community where spiritual formation occurs, relationships flourish, and the toxic spread of narcissism is eradicated.

Book Synopsis A New Kind of Church by : Aubrey Malphurs
Download or read book A New Kind of Church written by Aubrey Malphurs and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2007-02-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no shortage of books these days on new ways of "doing church." New church models have been both warmly embraced and roundly criticized. What are church leaders and others concerned about the state of the church to make of all this? Does the Bible prescribe a standard model for doing church? Or is there freedom within certain guidelines? In A New Kind of Church, respected church consultant Aubrey Malphurs addresses these important questions and suggests that there is room for new ways of doing ministry while being true to Scripture. In the process, he offers a theological and interpretive framework for evaluating any church model, new or old. He also offers suggestions for implementing change in the local church.

Book Synopsis Can God Save the Church? by : Kortright Davis
Download or read book Can God Save the Church? written by Kortright Davis and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-05-12 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can God Save the Church? is a comprehensive and illuminating review of some aspects of life in and around the church, with which those who care deeply about its message, mission, witness, and legacy should be passionately concerned. Christian traditions are often assailed by conflicts of theology and discipline, contradictions of beliefs and practices, as well as compromises with trials and trends that readily betray the full measure and meaning of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This volume serves to enumerate some clear options for faithful witness and courageous service that would more readily reflect the essential and contextual purposes of the church’s existence. Fresh concepts of God in “Covenant and Change,” or of “The Church as a Communion of Faith, Life, and Witness,” or even of the call for a vision for “Christian Partnership for Social Change,” all converge to make this book a useful tool for study, teaching, and radical reflection in seminaries, local congregations, and beyond. The postscript in this edition adds further challenges to the contemporary church’s call for radical Christian witness and the relentless determination to work for God’s freedom, justice, and salvific wholeness in human life.

Book Synopsis When the Church Woke by : William B. Lawrence
Download or read book When the Church Woke written by William B. Lawrence and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-10-21 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most divisive and damaging aspect of the church in America is the combination of racism and white supremacy that has been woven into the fabric of the church to the degree that one cannot discuss the church in America apart from this sin. Nowhere is this clearer than in American Methodism, including The United Methodist Church. That denomination, which has been divided for decades over issues regarding human sexuality and homosexuality, is a product of a long history of racism and white supremacy. While initiatives have been taken to address these matters, there has not been any effort to help the church focus on being anti-racist in its practices or public witness at every level, including local church levels. This is a book that identifies this sin and offers an innovative look at the mission of the church, based on biblical witnesses to new life with the resurrection. It offers proposals for reparations and renewal that will come when the church woke.

Book Synopsis The Life of Christian Doctrine by : Mike Higton
Download or read book The Life of Christian Doctrine written by Mike Higton and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-07-09 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lives of Christian churches are shaped by doctrinal theology. That is, they are shaped by practices in which ideas about God and God's ways with the world are developed, discussed and deployed. This book explores those practices, and asks why they matter for communities seeking to follow Jesus. Taking the example of the Church of England, this book highlights the embodied, affective and located reality of all doctrinal practices – and the biases and exclusions that mar them. It argues that doctrinal theology can in principle help the church know God better, even though doctrinal theologians do not know God better than their fellow believers. It claims that it can help the church to hear in Scripture challenges to its life, including to its doctrinal theology. It suggests that doctrinal disagreement is inevitable, but that a better quality of doctrinal disagreement is possible. And, finally, it argues that, by encouraging attention to voices that have previously been ignored, doctrinal theology can foster the ongoing discovery of God's surprising work.
Book Synopsis Wake up Church! by : Roxanne Anderson-Graham PhD
Download or read book Wake up Church! written by Roxanne Anderson-Graham PhD and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in such perilous times, times that have produced devastating effects throughout society and the prevailing culture. It makes one question where is the church, why is the church missing in action? Many churches have lost their way and purpose, while other churches could care less about the culture or society’s ills. Yet other churches are earnestly trying to address society’s issues with the truth of God’s Word. In Wake Up, Church!, author Dr. Roxanne Anderson-Graham discusses the ideologies of three church types and how they can have an overwhelming significant impact on society. She: • identifies the three types of churches: the complacent church, the compromising church, and the committed church; • uncovers the limitations hindering the complacent church from moving forward, upward, and outward in completing God’s work; • highlights the flaws of the compromising church as it straddles the fence and acquiesces to cultural trends; • emphasizes the faith and steadfastness of the committed church in its obedience to God’s command and promise; and • focuses on the believers’ responsibility concerning their own personal salvation and growth within the kingdom. Anderson-Graham admonishes the church (which is the Bride of Christ) to stop procrastinating and start proclaiming the Words of the Lord and be ready for His return.
