Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milton attended church while growing up in Richmond, Virginia; though it was mostly just part of the family's Sunday routine before dinner and the football game. After graduating from the University of Richmond, Milton entered the U.S. Coast Guard's Officer Candidate School in 1963. Thus began a twenty year career that took him all over the country, including assignments in Viet Nam, Guam and Hawaii. It was in Mayport, Florida, while serving as captain of a Coast Guard buoy tender, that Milton accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior. This experience changed his whole outlook on life and gave him a hunger and thirst for the word of God that continues to drive him today. Since his retirement from the military, Milton has served on church pastoral staff and as lay volunteer in many capacities. In 1989 he co-founded Prison Fellowship Guam and has been involved in prison ministry for the last 21 years, including three years as a prison chaplain. Milton has seen first hand how the power of God's truth changes lives. Milton also observed that many church members were lukewarm in their Christian walk because they lacked an understanding of the foundational truths of Christianity; and therefore hesitated to even share their Christian faith with another. This book is his effort to help those who truly desire a "Solid Foundation" for their future spiritual growth. Milton and his wife, Olivia, live in Gatesville, Texas. He is available for speaking to groups and churches. You may reach him via e-mail at [email protected] or by letter at PO Box 1073, Gatesville, Texas, 76528.

Floyd Neither Give Place: A Primer on Forgiveness and Reconciliation A New Look at an Old War: Studies in Spiritual Warfare Confident Obedience: Studies in the Lifestyle of Faith Jefferson H. Floyd was a beloved husband, father, and minister of the Gospel for over 50 years. He went to be with the Lord in Feb of 2008. During his ministry, he pastored several churches, traveled widely as an evangelist, and spent his last few years of ministry deeply involved in the ministry of healing through forgiveness. During his latter years of ministry Jeff authored many messages which were distributed on the internet known as the "Today Series". Jeff was a pioneer in utilizing this medium to share the Gospel throughout the world. This book is the last one he has compiled, but is not nearly all the materials he has written. He left a legacy of spiritual truth in his prolific writings. Our intent is to continue to make these teachings available for those who loved him and his ministry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How many Christians come to Christ and never get the foundational teachings of Jesus Christ? Too many! And like the foundations of a house, this should happen right at the beginning of the process. Is it any wonder many struggle to stand when their feet are planted on the spiritual sands of rhetoric and emotion! When businesses and governments find things are becoming too complex, what do they say? Usually, they say they need to get "back to basics." The "basics" are the key principles that sit beneath all human endeavors and they must be solidly grounded or else the business, enterprise, and even governments will struggle and fall apart. You cannot build a house unless there is a solid foundation. Likewise, you cannot build a Christian unless the spiritual foundations are strong. How many Christians suffer? How many fall down or fall away? How many struggle with their faith, especially in the early years when their faith is put to the test? Again...too many! And most of them suffer because their foundations are not strong enough to withstand the storms of life. The Six Foundations This book aims to address this lack. First, it identifies what the Bible defines as the six foundations of Jesus Christ, not what some preachers wrongly state. And second, this book provides insights from the Bible on how to use and build on these foundations. The Lord Jesus said to the Apostles that He would give them the "keys to the kingdom of heaven." These six foundations form the basis of those keys. When these foundations are in place and working effectively, a Christian can withstand any storm or opposition that comes against them. Today as we walk with Jesus Christ we need to "get back to basics." These six foundations are the basic teachings all Christians must learn, understand, and hold fast as they walk in this world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why cell church? Is it because David Cho's church, the largest church in the history of Christianity, is a cell church? Is it because someone said the number twelve will bring blessings and growth? Is it because cell church is the strategy that many "great" churches are using? Ralph Neighbour repeatedly says, "Theology must breed methodology." This book sets forth the biblical theology for cell based ministry. Without biblical truth, we don't have a firm under-pinning upon which we can hang our ministry and philosophy. On the other hand, we can plod through most anything when we know that God is stirring us to behave biblically. Cell church is not the latest, greatest church growth strategy. If it were, it would simply be a passing fad until the next hotter, more relevant strategy comes along. In fact, in many places around the world, cell church transforms the church through a purification process. Church growth is slow but cell church helps Christ's church go deeper. Joel Comiskey has been studying the cell church movement since 1991 and has discovered that the cell church strategy doesn't produce rapid growth in itself. God reserves growth for himself. He wants to receive the glory for all church growth. The first section of this book covers the Trinity, the model for all small group community. The good news is that the Trinity works within believers to mold and shape them into his image. This section explores God's emphasis on the family, starting from Genesis, Christ's formation of a new family, and then the early church's focus on family. Comiskey believes that family is the principal image of the church in Scripture. The last chapter in this section explains Jesus and his kingdom and more specifically how Jesus trained his disciples to evangelism through home-based outreach. Section two reveals how the early church met in homes. It explores what they did in those home meetings, the size of the house churches, and how home evangelism took place through ancient oikos relationships. Comiskey looks at how New Testament leadership developed naturally through the house church structure and how the early church connected the house churches into celebration gatherings (large group meetings). The last section applies all eight chapters to the church today. This last section draws out the New Testament insights that are applicable to the 21st century church.

Book excerpt: This manual is designed to bring Christians into a solid foundation in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is not written in book form, but in outline form. The reason for this is simple: the desire for this volume is that it would help you get into the Word itself to see what it has to say about God and His ways.The questions are in two parts. The first set, "Important Points," are designed to help you remember specific truths about the scripture. The second set of questions, "Personal Application," is designed to help you apply the truths of these scriptures to your own life. You should first of all go through each study thoroughly before looking at the questions. Then go through the study again to answer the "Important Points," being careful to use scripture references. Finally, only a brief review of the major headlines is needed to answer the "Personal Application."In using this manual you should go through point by point with your Bible open. You should look up all the scripture references and mark the most outstanding ones to your own life with a pen. The back of each page was left blank for you to use as a place to write notes.Summed up in one word, the Christian life can be defined as relationship. It first begins with God loving us and making relationship with Him possible. When we accept that offer and desire to walk with Him, the second stage of relationship is completed. The third aspect of relationship can be seen as horizontal-that is, between people.This manual will explore the extension of God's plan of salvation to man in the first section. The second section will deal with how a man cultivates relationship with God. The last section on the church and evangelism deals with relationship between people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have written this book for you! As you journey through life's distractions, you will need to be equipped with understandings which will guide you in making decisions. This will help you know who God is and what He wants you to be: His disciples. Your life, as it spreads over years, matures as should your understanding of Christ. While the Bible speaks of us becoming mature (i.e., Luke 8:14; Hebrews 5:14, 6:1; Colossians 1:28; Ephesians 4:13; James 1:4), this book lays a solid foundation to that end. "Not that I have already attained all this or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me." This gives me grace, direction, and hope. Philippians 3:16 encourages us to "live up to what we have already attained." So I challenge you to grow in your understanding, and I offer this book as an aid, a flashlight in dark times.

Book excerpt: Best defined as a hermeneutical synthesis, "Foundations of Christianity" is based on some of the most solid historical and biblical expertise and emphasizes the essentials of Christianity as lived and preached by Jesus of Nazareth. It departs from the premise that Christians are called to follow the man from Nazareth, not a god walking on earth. It conternds that they cannot find the true Christ of their faith unless they find the historical Jesus and his God first. It also argues that a faith that does not speak of and to the human condition is not Christian, it does not come from Jesus. This work ties everything that the author sees as authentically Christian to the story of the historical Jesus as found in the four gospels. It also mixes in Christological comments that are directly connected with the Man from Nazareth. interpreting Jesus' words within their historical and cultural contexts. It looks at the Christian faith vis-a-vis the realities of the 21st century and the need for Christians and all peoples to heed the example of the human Jesus.

This book was released on 2013-05-15 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theology of Vincent of Lérins is often reduced to a memorable slogan: "We hold that faith which has been believed everywhere, always, and by everyone." Thomas Guarino argues that this "Vincentian canon" has frequently been taken out of context. This book introduces Vincent's thought and its reception in Christian history, exploring Vincent's creative and innovative understanding of the development of doctrine and showing how it informed the thought of John Henry Newman. Guarino contends that Vincent's theology contributes significantly to theology and ecumenism in the twenty-first century. The volume is the second in a series on the church fathers edited by Hans Boersma and Matthew Levering. About the Series The Foundations of Theological Exegesis and Christian Spirituality series critically recovers patristic exegesis and interpretation for contemporary theology and spirituality. Each volume covers a specific church father and illuminates the exegesis that undergirds the Nicene tradition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 21st century America, personhood is under daily assault, sometimes with dire consequences. Scientist, ethicist, and ordained minister Craig C. Malbon encourages the reader to consider such assaults on personhood endured by victims of abortion, ageism, Alzheimer’s disease, drug addiction, mental and physical disabilities, gender, gender orientation, racism, sexual preference, identity politics, and our will-to-power over the “other.” In exploring personhood status, Malbon poses difficult questions for us. Is personhood assigned as all-or-nothing, or is it a sliding scale based upon criteria arbitrarily aimed at our vulnerabilities? Does the voiceless embryo and fetus have advocates who can speak to the moral question of abortion? Is the personhood of an economically insecure pregnant woman degraded to the point where lack of access to early termination of pregnancy results in “coercive childbearing?” Does being a member of the LGBTQI+ community target one for assaults on personhood, to the extreme of being killed? In delving into the biology and psychology of assaults of “self” upon the “other,” Malbon sees powerful linkages of everyday assaults on personhood to darker, profound “original sins” that are foundational to the rise of the American empire, i.e., assaults on the indigenous Native Americans and assaults derivative to the institution of slavery upon Africans, African Americans, and their descendants.

To most people, they are variations on a single goal: to make faithful disciples of young people. However, digging deeper into various programs, books, and concepts reveals substantive differences among approaches. Bestselling author Chap Clark is one of the leading voices in youth ministry today. In this multiview work, he brings together a diverse group of leaders to present major views on youth ministry. Chapters are written in essay/response fashion by Fernando Arzola, Greg Stier, Ron Hunter, Brian Cosby, and Chap Clark. As the contributors present their views and respond to each of the other views, they discuss their task and calling, giving readers the resources they need to develop their own approach to youth ministry. Offering a model of critical thinking and respectful dialogue, this volume provides a balanced, irenic approach to a topic with which every church wrestles.
