Book Synopsis A Faith of Our Own by : Jonathan Merritt
Download or read book A Faith of Our Own written by Jonathan Merritt and published by FaithWords. This book was released on 2012-05-08 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day, major headlines tell the story of how Christianity is attempting to influence American culture and politics. But statistics show that young Americans are disenchanted with a faith that has become culturally antagonistic and too closely aligned with partisan politics. In this personal yet practical work, Jonathan Merritt uncovers the changing face of American Christianity by uniquely examining the coming of age of a new generation of Christians. Jonathan Merritt illuminates the spiritual ethos of this new generation of believers who engage the world with Christ-centered faith but an un-polarized political perspective. Through personal stories and biblically rooted commentary this scion of a leading evangelical family takes a close, thoughtful look at the changing religious and political environment, addressing such divisive issues as abortion, gay marriage, environmental use and care, race, war, poverty, and the imbalance of world wealth. Through Scripture, the examples of Jesus, and personal defining faith experiences, he distills the essential truths at the core of a Christian faith that is now just coming of age.

Book excerpt: FOREWORD BY JAMES DOBSON The future is bright, victories are destined, and great things await the faithful who prepare. This book will equip you to protect your family, your society, and your convictions in a world that increasingly challenges your Christian faith. Tim Clinton an eminent American counselor and associate of the revered James Dobson, believes this moment in American history is a reprieve. It is a moment to take stock. It is a moment to prepare. It is a moment to focus on the future. We must know the season we are in and prepare to maximize our opportunities as we engage in the cultural battles that are sure to befall us. In his stirring new book, Focus on the Future, Clinton provides a learned overview of our embattled liberties, the intents of our Founding Fathers, and the heroic efforts of individuals such as Dobson to preserve those intentions. Clinton arms readers for the days ahead by tackling topics such as the following: The new war on the American family and how we can change America one family at a time The power of righteous masculinity and the forces determined to destroy it The battle against abortion How neuroscience is changing our approach to healing the traumatized, our veterans, and our society as a whole Clinton is not just a wise counselor. He is also a warrior summoning other warriors to their great cause. He challenges readers by chronicling the global persecution of the Christian faith and by telling believers how they can make a difference. Focus on the Future is both a culmination of decades of learning and activism as well as a cutting-edge response to today's events. We can indeed have vital families in a thriving nation and see righteousness pervade our land.

Book Synopsis The Focus of Our Faith by : Jeff Doles
Download or read book The Focus of Our Faith written by Jeff Doles and published by Walking Barefoot Ministries. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FOCUS IS IMPORTANT. The better your focus, the more clearly you can see. But it is important that your focus be on the right thing because your direction will follow your focus. When your focus is clear and on the right thing, then you will be heading in the right direction. The gospel of our faith is the good news that the kingdom of God has come and Jesus is the Messiah, God’s anointed King. He is the focus of our faith — not only the One upon whom we fix our attention but also the One through whom we view the whole world, to see more clearly and understand God’s purpose with greater wisdom. That is what Paul’s letter to the Jesus believers at Colosse is about. This book is a study of that letter. In it you will learn about: • The blessing and inheritance God has for you • The divine power trio: faith, hope and love • A walk that is worthy, a life that is pleasing and fruitful • Knowing God more and more • How all things hold together • Where all divine fullness dwells • The reconciliation of heaven and earth • The good news of God’s pleasure • The revelation of divine glory in you • Being rooted and built up in Jesus • The powers that have been disarmed • Living from a higher realm • The Word that qualifies us • Clothes for your new life • New life at home and in the community of faith • The spiral of watchful, thankful prayer • Walking in wisdom… and more These are “bite-size” studies to help guide you through Paul’s letter, a little at a time. At the end of each study are focus questions to help you think further about the truths Paul brings. They are open-ended questions to allow for maximum personal reflection and group discussion.

This book was released on 2013-07-23 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In chapter 4 talks about focus on giving God Thanks for Everything. The Holy Spirit led me to further focus on my ancestry, who faithfully served and dedicated themselves to God. They prayed to pave the way for the next generation to be strong, unable to uproot from God’s Word and purpose—to stay focused, faithful, obedient, and serve God in Jesus’ name to the fullest. Focus on God’s Word, and see it come to pass. “And it shall come to pass that when your days are fulfilled to go to be with your fathers, I will raise up your off-spring after you, who will be of your sons, and I will establish his kingdom.” —I Chronicles 17:11 My great-great-grandfather, Elder Aaron Bazemore (in middle); my sister, Angel (far left); and myself, Linda (far right) In Jesus’ name, thank you, Heavenly Father, for answering the prayers of my ancestry and allowing me to see the mantle of God being passed to the next generation and generations to come. Thank you, Lord, for choosing me and my offspring to come. Amen.

Book excerpt: An invitation for overachievers to discover what it means to rest as God's daughters without compromising their God-given design as doers. Are you a Martha who feels guilty for not being a Mary? Do you want to sit at Jesus’s feet as Mary did—but you feel the need to get things done? In Made Like Martha, Katie M. Reid invites you to exchange try-hard striving for hope-filled freedom without abandoning your doer’s heart in the process. Through her own story and rich biblical illustrations, Katie reminds you that it’s not important whether you sit and listen or stand and work. What matters is that your spiritual posture is one of a beloved daughter who knows she doesn’t need to earn God’s love. Your desire to get things done is not something to temper but something to embrace as you serve from a place of strength and peace—knowing Christ already did His most important work for you on the cross. With “It Is Finished” activities at the end of each chapter and a fiveweek Bible study included, Made Like Martha helps you find rest from striving even as you celebrate your God-given design to “do.” “Made Like Martha will infuse your life with a fresh perspective as you learn both to embrace your God-given personality and also discover how—and when—to rest and retreat.” —Karen Ehman, Proverbs 31 Ministries speaker and New York Times bestselling author of Keep It Shut

To impact the world in which we live, we must first focus our faith firmly on God, who created our world. When our lives are focused on Christ's example, and we accept the great mission that He gave us, the world will become a better place for everyone. My dear brothers and sisters, dare to reach out and become the hands and arms of Jesus, and to embrace the hurting and brokenhearted of this world with His love. There are people dying every day all over the earth without Christ's saving grace or mercy. We have Christ's love living within us. Brothers and sisters, we must dare to give it away.
