Download or read book My Hollow Faith written by Daniel Porter and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-16 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the time I can remember, I grew up identifying as a Christian. At a very young age, I just knew that God was real. More importantly, growing up in the South, that was just the right thing to do. Everyone went to church, and pretty much everyone said they were a Christian. These values of mine held up for a while, until I became mature enough to engage in deductive reasoning.I got tired of being the "good christian" and not really knowing why, other than that's what I believed. As I read the Bible, I saw that everything about it was supernatural. There was only one problem: absolutely nothing about my life was! I wanted to know if the Bible I read was just a good book to be revered, or if the God I read about was still manifesting the same way he was years ago!In college, I wiped the slate clean. I no longer wanted to say I was a Christian because of what my parents, friends, or even preachers said. I wanted to see the power of God in my life. I challenged God to show himself to me if he was still the same God I read about, and boy did he show up. God catapulted me into the realm of the supernatural, and gave me answers as to why his children don't see more in life. If you want to know what I found out, look inside!
Download or read book Hollow Faith written by Stephen Ingram and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book for youth leaders, pastors, and parents looks deep into the mirror of pop and church culture and asks the difficult, and often maddening, question, “Are those things we produce and consume defining us?” Author Stephen Ingram explores these themes of moralism, deism, meism, consumerism, pluralism, and therapeutic religion of pop culture, as well as current sociological and psychological data. Hollow Faith separates the values of the gospel from the cultural norms that have domesticated them including: How we believe we should act (The Andy Griffith Show) How we want to be known (Facebook) What we aspire to become (the American Dream) Ingram says that once we recognize these serious shifts in our faith, we can begin to have discussions, develop plans, and form actions to reclaim the vibrant, life-giving faith of the Bible. Includes a Parents Guide in the back.
Download or read book Hollow written by Jena Morrow and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2010-05-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-nine years, 7 months, 14 days, and the battle still rages. Jena Morrow has an eating disorder. It can kill her. Jena Morrow has a Savior. He came to give her abundant life. This is not a polished tale of victory but an honest, true story of fragility. Hollow recounts Jena’s daily struggle with anorexia and the God who is able and willing to reach down into the dirt. A central theme of Hollow is the surrender of control to Jesus Christ. His Word is interwoven throughout the story as rebuttals to the lies that besiege those engaged in any addiction. In addition to her point of view, Jena includes those of her friends, family, and former therapists providing an undercurrent of hope. Written in an easy conversational voice, Hollow will resonate with those in the midst of a struggle and those who stand beside them.

Book excerpt: @stickyjesus is a fusion of discipleship, faith sharing, marketing, and a Get Started 101 on Twitter, Facebook and blogging. @stickyjesus lays out the current day reality—the good, the bad, and the ugly—and challenges Christ followers to regain our God-given dominion on earth, which includes the Internet. With knowledge, skills, and Holy Spirit guidance, we encourage believers to dig in and learn how to navigate this online world together—and give Christ a voice in the online world. The book also includes personal testimonies. Most are from everyday people impacting others’ lives and culture online for Christ. These are real people and ministries (about a dozen) making a difference because they walk, talk and connect differently online. They are living out their faith before others unashamed. The authors’ desire is that this project will equip and empower Christ followers and get them excited about sharing their faith online.

Download or read book Replicate written by Robby Gallaty and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Practical Guide to Creating and Sustaining a Culture of Disciple-Making in Any Church Over the last few decades American churches have produced plenty of converts but not as many mature believers. Studies show the majority of Christians don’t even understand the basics of faith. But how do you tackle such a big problem? Replicate shows church leaders how to make disciples who make disciples and get the rest of your church on board as well. This one-on-one relational ministry is how Jesus laid the foundation for His church that is still growing today, and it’s how we continue the work in our own local congregations. Learn the five marks of a healthy disciple-making church, how to influence culture, uproot misconceptions of the church and the gospel, and change your church and community. No more focusing on mere numbers, it’s time to grow in maturity and through multiplication.

Download or read book Thin Places written by Mary E. DeMuth and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2010-01-13 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her moving spiritual memoir, Mary DeMuth traces the winding path of “thin places” in her life—places where she experienced longing and healing more intensely than before. As DeMuth writes, “Thin places are snatches of holy ground, tucked into the corners of our world, where we might just catch a glimpse of eternity. They are aha moments, beautiful realizations, when the Son of God bursts through the hazy fog of our monotony and shines on us afresh.”From losing her earthly father to discovering a heavenly Father who never leaves, from singing Olivia Newton-John songs to the sky to worshiping God under a French sun, from surviving abuse as a latchkey kid to experiencing the joy of mothering three children, DeMuth’s story calls readers to a deeper understanding of their own story. With unusual spiritual wisdom, she looks for God in the past so that she might experience him more profoundly in the present. Her powerful words invite readers to know God in a new way—a God ready to break through any ordinary day or extraordinary pain and offer a glimpse of eternity.

Book Synopsis The Dangers of a Shallow Faith by : A. W. Tozer
Download or read book The Dangers of a Shallow Faith written by A. W. Tozer and published by Gospel Light Publications. This book was released on 2012-05-17 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spiritual lethargy is one of the greatest dangers to confront a believer in his or her day-to-day walk with God. A. W. Tozer said, “There are only three directions from which danger comes to the Christian life. They are the world through which we journey, the god of this world and our own mortified flesh.” In this never-before-published book, the renowned teacher issues a clarion call for all Christians to awaken to the times in which we live and stand boldly against spiritual and moral slumber. Tozer’s focus is on those few believers who will heed the call to arouse themselves rise up in the face of the great temptation to malaise that is before us, believing that God always begins with one or two who hear and heed His voice, and refuse to become weary in their pursuit of Him.

Download or read book Craving Grace written by Lisa Velthouse and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2011-04-25 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Lisa Velthouse’s whole life, Christianity had been about getting things right. Obeying her parents. Not drinking. Not cursing. Not having premarital sex. Vowing to save her first kiss until she got engaged, even writing a book called . . . well, Saving My First Kiss. (This, it turns out, does not actually help a girl get a date.) Yet after two decades of trying to earn God’s okay, she found her faith was lonely, empty, and unsatisfying. So she turned to more discipline, of course: fasting! By giving up her favorite foods—sweets—Lisa hoped to somehow discover true sweetness and meaning in her relationship with God. Until, one night at a wedding, she denied herself the cake but failed in such a different, unexpected, and world-rocking way that it challenged everything she thought she knew about God and herself. Craving Grace is the true story of a faith dramatically changed: how in one woman’s life God used a bitter heart, a broken promise, and the sweetness of honey to reveal the stunning wonder that is grace.
