Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultivating the right attitude is the first step every believer must take on the path to developing a Christlike character. In Cultivating a Gospel-Shaped Attitude, Dr. Joseph Buchanan brings forth twenty years of experience as a pastor and teacher to explain how to use the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1-11) to cultivate an attitude shaped by the gospel of Jesus Christ. Buchanan follows each of the attitudes mentioned by Jesus and shows how deeply they are grounded in the gospel. Each chapter provides a thorough Biblical examination of the individual Beatitudes and gives straightforward advice on how to incorporate these attitudes into our lives. Cultivating a Gospel-Shaped Attitude is about developing an attitude that goes beyond merely being positive or upbeat. Fostering a Christlike character is the result of consistently allowing the gospel to shape the way we look at the world and conduct our lives. Simply put, our character is the sum of our attitudes and actions over time, and there are no shortcuts in the process to embodying gospel-based virtues. Cultivating a Gospel-Shaped Attitude reveals that a strong Christlike character can be achieved by using the Beatitudes as a road map for making the right decisions throughout our lives.

Book excerpt: What we know and what we do are crucial, but so too is who we are. God wants to shape our hearts. The gospel is God's means of transforming our hearts.

This is a liberating book that enables us to be all we are meant to be in Christ. Its teaching will change your life.
Book Synopsis Godly Attitude, Worldly Latitude by : Robert A. Day Sr.
Download or read book Godly Attitude, Worldly Latitude written by Robert A. Day Sr. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-10-02 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE WISDOM OF GOD'S ATTITUDE CONFOUNDS THE WISDOM OF HUMANKINDS ATTITUDE! How can we describe an abstract term like the word attitude and prescribe it in such a concrete way? The Word of God is the avenue to achieve this objective! The author explains how attitude is more than just positive or negative, but rather situational instead. Various attitude principles are discussed with stories of the bible in reference to each type of attitude being addressed. In Godly Attitude Worldly Latitude, R. A. Day, Sr., expounds upon earthly definitions of attitude with heavenly inspirations that show how Christians should be imitators of their Lord and Savior. This book is a far different read than the standard social psychological or business model interpretations of what an attitude should be in life. It cries out the mantra of not looking upon our own things, but upon the things of others; and letting this mind (or attitude) be in us which is in Christ Jesus. A broadened horizon of the attitudes of longitude, latitude, altitude, and many more attitudes will be achieved victoriously through the living out of these newfound principles. This is made possible through all the interpersonal relationship challenges and storms that life tends to throw our way.

Download or read book The Gospel at Work written by Sebastian Traeger and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2014-01-28 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Find God’s vision for your job. Reclaim God’s vision for your life. Many Christians fall victim to one of two main problems when it comes to work: either they are idle in their work, or they have made an idol of it. Both of these mindsets are deadly misunderstandings of how God intends for us to think about our employment. In The Gospel at Work, Sebastian Traeger and Greg Gilbert unpack the powerful ways in which the gospel can transform how we do what we do, releasing us from the cultural pressures of both an all-consuming devotion and a punch-in, punch-out mentality—in order to find the freedom of a work ethic rooted in serving Christ. You’ll find answers to some of the tough questions that Christians in the workplace often ask: What factors should matter most in choosing a job? What gospel principles should shape my thinking about how to treat my boss, my co-workers, and my employees? Is full-time Christian work more valuable than my job? Is it okay to be motivated by money? How do you prioritize—or balance—work, family and church responsibilities? Solidly grounded in the gospel, The Gospel at Work confronts both our idleness at work and our idolatry of work with a challenge of its own—to remember that whom we work for is infinitely more important than what we do.

Book excerpt: The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth.

This 40-day devotional is to help willing individuals get closer to God and to help reshape unconstructive thinking. After signing a plea bargain for reckless manslaughter as a troubled teen, Ricky Lopez discovered that when childhood cuteness fades away, character is left to deal with. Having been given a second chance in life, Ricky learned how to character build through Gods Word while in prison. Today as a father, husband and author, Ricky now reminds people what its like to be set free and made right with God. In Ricky's words, "Jailhouse religion didn't save me, alcohol couldn't help me and neither could fake friends rescue me." In acknowledgement of Gods redemption and through the lens of the Bible, this short devotional book will not only help to encourage others but will also assist those in recovery groups, promote crime prevention and help to redirect troubled teens through the forever working power of the gospel. Today in a generation that continues to grow cold and unloving, this book speaks about a real God and gospel that works. From Ricky's firsthand experience as a troubled teen, to an ex-felon, to a youth director and now as a licensed minister, this short devotional book is a must read for you and your loved ones.

Book Synopsis Gospel Fluency by : Jeff Vanderstelt
Download or read book Gospel Fluency written by Jeff Vanderstelt and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2017-02-14 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: flu·en·cy / noun :the ability to speak a language easily and effectively Even if they want to, many Christians find it hard to talk to others about Jesus. Is it possible this difficulty is because we're trying to speak a language we haven't actually spent time practicing? To become fluent in a new language, you must immerse yourself in it until you actually start to think about life through it. Becoming fluent in the gospel happens the same way—after believing it, we have to intentionally rehearse it (to ourselves and to others) and immerse ourselves in its truths. Only then will we start to see how everything in our lives, from the mundane to the magnificent, is transformed by the hope of the gospel.

Download or read book Beautiful Resistance written by Jon Tyson and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2020-07-21 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a time of compromise and disillusionment, God is calling his people to a movement of beautiful resistance. We live in a time when our culture is becoming increasingly shallow, coarse, and empty. Radical shifts in the areas of sexuality, ethics, technology, secular ideologies, and religion have caused the once-familiar landscape of a generation ago to be virtually unrecognizable. Yet rather than shine as a beacon of light, the church often is silent or accommodating. This isn’t a new phenomenon. During World War II, pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer was deeply troubled by the compromise in the German church. Their capitulation to the Nazi party brought shame and dishonor to the gospel. In response, he helped create an underground movement of churches that trained disciples and ultimately sought to renew the church and culture of the day. In our compromised church, we need new underground movements of discipleship and resistance. Widely respected New York pastor Jon Tyson unveils a revived vision for faithful discipleship—one that dares to renew culture, restore credibility, and replace compromise with conviction. For all who have felt this conflict in the soul between who we are and who God calls us to be, Beautiful Resistance is a bold invitation to reclaim what’s been lost—regardless of the cost. Praise for Beautiful Resistance “Beautiful Resistance is one of the most compelling and defiant books I’ve read in a long time. I love Jon’s radical, no-messing vision of the church as a prophetic community. This is a wake-up call for us all from the heart of a man who lives his message, loves his city, and serves his Lord with a passion and intelligence destined to become less rare.”—Pete Greig, founder of the 24-7 Prayer movement

But at a time when churches that spread the seed of the Word through preaching, the sacraments, and prayer are greatly needed, much of the focus has been on planting churches that adapt pop culture to meet “consumer demand.” In Planting, Watering, Growing, the authors of this collection of essays weave together theological wisdom, personal experiences, and practical suggestions, guiding readers through the foundations and methods of planting confessional churches that uphold the Word of God.
