Download or read book Risky Obedience written by Tom Bisset and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2018-12-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Risky Obedience When the Bisset family of Motherwell, Scotland emigrated to America in 1930 they could not have imagined what lay ahead. The Great Depression held the world in its grip. It was no time to be starting over in a new country. But Charles and Mary Elizabeth Bisset believed the future was in God's hands and so long as they were in His will, God would take care of them. Their two youngest sons, Peter and John, became ministers and went on to found the Peter and John Radio Fellowship in Baltimore. Their daily radio program named Every Day With Jesus continued for 48 years. Today, Peter and John Ministries (PJM) include 95.1 SHINE-FM and WRBS-AM, and River Valley Ranch (RVR), a large youth camp founded in 1952 by Peter and John. They also undertook a ministry of Christian literature at Trustworthy Bookstore in Baltimore for over 40 years. The extraordinary faith and large ministry vision of Peter and John are central to this inspiring story of how God used two Scottish brothers to accomplish His purposes. As you read, remember that the same God who faithfully guided Peter and John and provided for them during good times and bad, promises to do the same for all who fully trust in him. Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? You stretched out Your right hand; the earth swallowed them. You in Your mercy have led forth the people whom You have redeemed: You have guided them in Your strength to Your holy habitation Exodus 15:11-13
Book Synopsis The Insanity of Obedience by : Nik Ripken
Download or read book The Insanity of Obedience written by Nik Ripken and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wise Sheep Among the Wolves All Christian disciples have one thing in common: as they carry the gospel across the ocean and across the street, persecution will become the norm for those who choose to follow Jesus. How believers respond in the face of persecution reveals everything about their level of faith and obedience. The Insanity of Obedience is a bold challenge to global discipleship. Nik Ripken exposes the danger of safe Christianity and calls readers to something greater. The Insanity of Obedience challenges Christians in the same, provocative way that Jesus did. This book dares you—and prepares you—to cross the street and the oceans with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Some of Jesus’ instructions sound uncomfortable and are potentially dangerous. We may be initially encouraged by His declaration, “I am sending you out.” But how are we to respond when He then tells us that He is sending us out “like sheep among wolves"? In light of the words of Jesus, how can modern day believers rest comfortably in the status quo? How can we embrace casual faith in light of the radical commands of Jesus which are anything but casual? Ripken brings decades of ministry experience in some of the most persecuted areas of the world to bear on our understanding of faith in Jesus. The Insanity of Obedience is a call to roll up your sleeves . . . and to follow and partner with Jesus in the toughest places on this planet. "We have the high privilege of answering Jesus’ call to go," Ripken says. "But let us be clear about this: we go on His terms, not ours. If we go at all, we go as sheep among wolves." Jesus gives us Himself. And He gives us the tools necessary for those who dare to journey with Him.
Book Synopsis Tough Truths for Tough Times by : Saundra L. Washington D.D.
Download or read book Tough Truths for Tough Times written by Saundra L. Washington D.D. and published by Saundra L Washington. This book was released on 2011-04-25 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today we do not experience great manifestations of God as Moses did many years ago. God has not spoken to us out of a burning bush and neither have we heard His voice as He walked in the cool of the day in the Garden of Eden. We have not looked up over our house of worship and seen the Shekinah glory of God in a visible way. But God does reach into our hearts and into our life and speak to us through His holy Word.One of the outstanding characteristics of Jesus while on earth was His keen skills of observation. He possessed what we sometimes refer to as a “homiletic mind†and saw sermon illustrations at every turn. As He lifts up some simple happening and draws insights from it, we feel refreshed by His words and they speak directly to our own condition.The twenty-one tough truths for these troubled times that furnish the content of this book do not originate with the author, but extracted from the storehouse of God’s inexhaustible truth found in both Old and New Testaments. The insights speak to the soul with urgings to rise above the petty to the significant, the secular to the sacred, and the finite to the infinite.

Download or read book Risk written by Kenny Luck and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2009-01-21 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you dare let Jesus take control of your life? Predictability. Control. Safety. Comfort. Jesus challenges God’s man to throw all those words out the window. Because, when it comes to your faith, all the energy spent eliminating risk from your life actually becomes a barrier to progress in your spiritual journey. Jesus said, “If you try to keep your life for yourself you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake…you will find true life” (Mark 8:35). There really is no such thing as the “safe life” when you are committed to Christ–when you seek to become God’s man. Instead, Jesus personally challenges you to bet your life totally on him. Risk is for men who are ready to go to the next level in their faith–and ready to say goodbye to playing it safe when it comes to radically trusting their Savior. Look for the Risk Workbook– a hands-on guide for personal or group study!
Download or read book Dear Sister written by Cadey Fenn and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2022-07-19 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dear Sister is a raw and honest love story riddled with the brokenness of foster care, impossible love, immeasurable forgiveness, and surprising heart transformation—an incredible spiritual journey readers will come to realize relates to all of God’s adopted children. Sharing her experiences with loss, pain, and uncertain identity, Cadey Fenn’s writing shares a message of rebirth, joy, mercy, and faith. Dear Sister tells deeply personal, relatable stories that highlight how little humanity can know of God’s plan, while reinforcing the benefit of trusting His good direction. One might expect Dear Sister to be a story about a foster child or orphaned children, but it’s more than that. Cadey Fenn is excited to remind readers that they are called to do impossible things—things that often seem reserved for those we consider heroes or “superhuman.” Whether someone is planning to become a foster parent or joining the church choir, Dear Sister breaks the belief that an individual’s purpose is inconsequential or limited, encouraging believers to discover and embrace God’s plan for their life.
Book Synopsis In Praise of Risk by : Anne Dufourmantelle
Download or read book In Praise of Risk written by Anne Dufourmantelle and published by Fordham University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Anne Dufourmantelle drowned in a heroic attempt to save two children caught in rough seas, obituaries around the world rarely failed to recall that she was the author of a book entitled In Praise of Risk, implying that her death confirmed the ancient adage that to philosophize is to learn how to die. Now available in English, this magnificent and already much-discussed book indeed offers a trenchant critique of the psychic work the modern world devotes to avoiding risk. Yet this is not a book on how to die but on how to live. For Dufourmantelle, risk entails an encounter not with an external threat to life but with something hidden in life that conditions our approach to such ordinary risks as disobedience, passion, addiction, leaving family, and solitude Keeping jargon to a minimum, Dufourmantelle weaves philosophical reflections together with clinical case histories. The everyday fears, traumas, and resistances that therapy addresses brush up against such broader concerns as terrorism, insurance, addiction, artistic creation, and political revolution. Taking up a project than joins the work of many French thinkers, such as Jacques Lacan, Jacques Derrida, Jean-Luc Nancy, Hélène Cixous, Giorgio Agamben, and Catherine Malabou, Dufourmantelle works to dislodge Western philosophy, psychoanalysis, ethics, and politics from the redemptive logic of sacrifice. She discovers the kernel of a future beyond annihilation where one might least expect to find it, hidden in the unconscious. In an era defined by enhanced security measures, border walls, trigger warnings, and endless litigation, Dufourmantelle’s masterwork provides a much-needed celebration of the risks that define what it means to live.

Book excerpt: Is the REAL you getting lost because the FAKE you is just so annoyingly impressive? “Stepping onto the platform to preach that morning, I admitted to myself that I was not a pastor first, but a regular, scared, insecure, everyday guy whose life had been changed by Jesus. And if Jesus really loved me as I was (I knew He did), then why should I go on trying to be someone I wasn’t?” Why DO we fake it so much? Why do we spend so much time trying to please everyone else and make so little effort trying to please God? When Craig Groeschel asked himself those questions, he couldn’t come up with a good answer. So one day he decided to drop the act and start getting real. With that one choice, his life began to change in a big way. And yours can, too. Craig’s passionate, funny, warts-and-all confessions and the lessons he learned will help you find you own path to authentic living and a deeper relationship with God.

Book Synopsis The Gospel of Risk and Its Enemies by : M. H. Davis
Download or read book The Gospel of Risk and Its Enemies written by M. H. Davis and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most current popular Christian theology books tend to focus on the defects of either fundamentalism or liberalism. The authentic ‘Good News’ gospel of Christ is currently sandwiched between these two main rival, distortive and reductive interpretations. Here, M.H. Davis suggests that neither fundamentalism nor liberalism equate with the radically challenging and empowering gospel of risk.As such, he offers a fresh slant on the current debate as to the power and scope of post-modern Christianity, and considers how these western Christian extrapolations square or do not square with the radical risk-taking nature of Christ’s incarnate ministry. The book’s purpose is to act as a catalyst to provoke people into the realisation that Christianity does not have to be an either-or choice between fundamentalism and liberalism.
