Book Synopsis Crites in the Church by : Herman Frank Hemby
Download or read book Crites in the Church written by Herman Frank Hemby and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-06 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crites are tricksters (deceivers), stimulated by hypocrisy. Being a Crite is like a snake, very subtle. They cross many boundaries. Crites transcends families, denominations and cross partisan party lines. They gravitate to new heights, to being a "bigger than thy, to new lows; crabbing each other out, particularly in the netting game, taking advantage, luring, or enticing people through spiritual and other clever schemes. In the history of the Church, hypocrisy has always caused many of the major problems among the saints because of the wiles of the Evil One. The Saints of God must put on the Lord Jesus Christ, through faith in the Word of God, to bind up and to destroy the satanic powers of the Crites In The Church. Apostle H. Frank Hemby, Sr., is the founder and general Bishop of The First Biblican Church of Deliverance Inc., and the president of C T B O C D Inc. (Carrying The Banner of Christian Distinction) which is a Jehovah-Nissi Outreach Ministry, "Raising the Banner of the Lord" according to Exodus 17:15 and John 12:32. Apostle Hemby is an Army and Navy veteran and the recipient of the Bronze Star Medal; Valorous Unit Award. He has earned Citation Awards and Diplomas for outstanding achievement during his distinguished Insurance business career as a Life Underwriter Training Counsel Fellow (LUTCF). Apostle Hemby's greatest moments came through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, leading him to study, to pray and to meditate on the Word of God as he sits at the feet of Jesus Christ. From this position flows renewed vision and purpose. From vision and purpose, hope was truly birthed.
Book Synopsis The Storied Church by : Matthew Gorkos
Download or read book The Storied Church written by Matthew Gorkos and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matthew Gorkos begins The Storied Church with this compelling statement: "I believe in the church--in the power of faithful people serving a good and gracious God--and I believe in the power of a good story. Moreover, I believe, as this book will argue, that church and story--harnessed together--could be an even more powerful force for goodness in our world." Neuroscientists, anthropologists, archeologists, and psychologists all agree. Story is how our brains and our communities make sense of things. Storytelling helps us cope with change and loss. Storytelling helps us transmit lessons and life-skills to the next generation. As human beings, it seems we can't do without story. This book--indeed, this whole idea of story-centered church renewal--was born of a suspicion that the restorative, transformative, life-giving function that stories have for us as individuals may serve communities of faithful people as well. If stories help us survive as human creatures, why can't they help churches survive? The problem that story-centered renewal seeks to remedy has only become more prevalent and urgent in the age of Covid-19. Our churches need hope now more than ever. Writing from a pastor's perspective, Gorkos hopes to encourage and empower other pastors and lay leaders with both the hope and the tools they need to effect revitalizing change in their faith communities. Each chapter includes questions for reflection to help readers listen to and tell the stories that will lead to renewal and transformation.

Download or read book Why They Stay written by Dr. Steve R. Parr and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-09-02 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you want your children to be actively serving in the local church when they turn thirty and beyond? Why The Stay can help! Much has been written about younger adults and their departure from church involvement. Concerned parents and church leaders want to know what has caused them to depart. Instead of asking why young adults are leaving the church, Parr and Crites conducted a national research project of those who grew up in church and are still serving faithfully. They studied why they have stayed and the results are compelling. You will learn as a parent, pastor, or church leader specific actions that you can take to make a definitive difference in whether or not the fifteen-year-olds attending your church now are still attending and serving when they turn thirty. You will discover: fifteen factors that make a great difference in the likelihood that children and teens will remain in church as adults ten issues that make somewhat of a difference in lifetime involvement five surprises that do not make as much difference as you might think the greatest gap discovered in the ministry focus of a church actions you can take as a parent that greatly increase the likelihood your children will remain faithful to church when they are adults strategies church leaders can implement that increase the probability that children and youth-group members will serve in the church as adults Why They Stay is much more than numbers and data. Parr and Crites share from their personal experiences, and the information can help you be more effective in your parenting and church leadership.

Book Synopsis Telling God's Story by : Gerard Loughlin
Download or read book Telling God's Story written by Gerard Loughlin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-09-23 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents narrative theology as radically orthodox. It is orthodox because in the tradition of all those who maintain the priority of the story of Jesus, as it is sacramentally performed in the Church, and radical because it eschews all modern attempts to found Christian faith on some other story, such as that of reason, critical history or human consciousness. Acknowledging the indeterminacy of and textuality of human existance, Telling God's Story presents the Christian life as as a truly postmodern venture: the groundless enactment of God's future now.
Book Synopsis Tragedies and Christian Congregations by : Christopher Southgate
Download or read book Tragedies and Christian Congregations written by Christopher Southgate and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-26 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When tragedy strikes a community, it is often unexpected with long-lasting effects on the people left in its wake. Too often, there aren’t adequate systems in place to aid those affected in processing what has happened. This study uniquely combines practical theology, pastoral insight and scientific data to demonstrate how Christian congregations can be helped to be resilient in the face of sudden devastating events. Beginning by identifying the characteristics of trauma in individuals and communities, this collection of essays from practitioners and academics locates sudden trauma-inducing tragedies as a problem in practical theology. A range of biblical and theological responses are presented, but contemporary scientific understanding is also included in order to challenge and stretch some of these traditional theological resources. The pastoral section of the book examines the ethics of response to tragedy, locating the role of the minister in relation to other helping agencies and exploring the all-too-topical issue of ministerial abuse. Developing a nuanced rationale for good practical, pastoral, liturgical and theological responses to major traumas, this book will be of significant value to scholars of practical theology as well as practitioners counselling in and around church congregations.

Book Synopsis Journeys at the Margin by : Jung Young Lee
Download or read book Journeys at the Margin written by Jung Young Lee and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being an immigrant is both being "in-between" two cultures, that of the immigrant and that of the dominant group, and being "in-both" of these cultures. It ultimately means being "in-beyond" the two cultures together. In this book a group of prominent Asian-American Christian theologians reflect in an autobiographical form on how being an Asian and a North American has shaped the way they understand the Christian story. As the United States becomes increasingly multiethnic and multicultural, this book offers useful suggestions on how to meet the challenge of cultural diversity in both Church and society.
