Download or read book The Confrontational Wit of Jesus written by Catherine M. Wallace and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus did not die to save us from God. He died because the Romans did not tolerate charismatic teachers who attracted a lively following. Jesus attracted that following through his personal compassion, his confrontational inclusivity, and his skill in using laughter as a nonviolent weapon of mass disruption. The Gospel authors picked up Jesus' witty techniques. They adeptly parodied the literary conventions of heroic biography, laying out "the kingdom of God" in a point-for-point contrast with the empire of Caesar Augustus. Most of this contrast was Jewish Prophetic Rant, Standard Edition: the God of the Jews had always demanded justice for workers, food for the hungry, care for those unable to earn a living, and an end to monopolizing natural resources for private and imperial profit. Jesus added a fourth and telling point: God is nonviolent. God smites no one. God's loving-kindness and compassionate presence embraces all of humanity equally. We are all the children of God. Then and now, that's a revolutionary claim. It portrays our obligation to the common good as a sacred obligation. It's owed to God. In cultural terms, that's the most potent variety of obligation. This is the cultural heritage at risk from fundamentalism, which portrays God as both crazy-violent and vindictive. .embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }

However, there seems to be a popular notion among Christians that Jesus was only righteously angry with Jewish religious leaders. This is a false narrative that I aim to correct. The Confrontational Christ will set the record straight and introduce some of you to the real Jesus for the very first time.

Download or read book Confrontational Christianity written by Kevin Turnbaugh and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-02-09 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confrontational Christianity addresses many of those issues facing Christians in today's world. The book looks at the various types of Christians, from those who are passive to those who strap on their "whole armor of God," and come out swinging their two edged swords, the Bible. The fact that the infamous "separation of church and state" is not law and that courts and those who file suits using this as the basis of their suits has no legal bearing on how decisions concerning public display of crosses, Christian flags, Ten Commandment monuments, or anything associated with Christmas do in no way violate the Constitution of the United States of America. In addition, that Christians opposing abortion, same sex marriage, and/or the gay and lesbian lifestyle is not a hate crime. The book gets into the weeds of how Christians should deal with these threats to our freedoms and how we should not. The many attacks on our Christian youth, what they are, and especially how they can and should deal with them today. Avoidance and preventing those temptations put before our youth, plus what measures they can do themselves to keep from falling into the sinful acts. Finally you will learn how Christians can say "no" to political, religious, and other types of threats sent our way by Satan and his demons. The persecution of the Christians is here, so we need to know how to address them, avoid them, and most of all confront them according to God's Word.

Download or read book The Myth of a Christian Nation written by Gregory A. Boyd and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2009-05-18 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The church was established to serve the world with Christ-like love, not to rule the world. It is called to look like a corporate Jesus, dying on the cross for those who crucified him, not a religious version of Caesar. It is called to manifest the kingdom of the cross in contrast to the kingdom of the sword. Whenever the church has succeeded in gaining what most American evangelicals are now trying to get – political power – it has been disastrous both for the church and the culture. Whenever the church picks up the sword, it lays down the cross. The present activity of the religious right is destroying the heart and soul of the evangelical church and destroying its unique witness to the world. The church is to have a political voice, but we are to have it the way Jesus had it: by manifesting an alternative to the political, “power over,” way of doing life. We are to transform the world by being willing to suffer for others – exercising “power under,” not by getting our way in society – exercising “power over.”

Book excerpt: How to Work Together for the Sake of the Gospel Most churches in the U. S. have less than 75 members. Many of these congregations barely have enough money to pay their pastor’s salary, much less launch a movement or host a conference. How can they hope to make an impact beyond their own walls? In Churches Partnering Together, Chris Bruno and Matt Dirks show how all churches—big andsmall—can do more together than they can do apart. Looking to the New Testament for guidance, this practical book will help pastors, church leaders, and laypeople alike think creatively about gospel-driven church partnerships in their own communities and around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this era of ever-growing, more distant, unresponsive government--and politicians of both parties who do not walk their talk--retired California State Senator H. L. (Bill) Richardson's book is a strong tonic. He warns; however, his words are not for the faint of heart: as Finley Peter Dunne once said, "Politics ain't beanbag." He spells out in a series of lessons how his often-hard-pressed conservative minority was able to win victory after victory on issues like the death penalty, gun control, and removing liberal judges. "The central theme of this book is the methodology both sides use. Being 'right' is not enough," he cautions.

Book excerpt: Jesus, meek and mild? Think again: Jesus was a controversialist. And he still is today. Are you prepared to be challenged? Jesus, meek and mild? Think again: Jesus was a controversialist. Are you prepared to be challenged? Jesus has a way of cutting right across our logic and opinions, just as he did while on earth. He took issue with his contemporaries on basic questions like: - Who is God? - How do we obey Scripture? - How are we saved? - How should we live morally? - How should we worship authentically? In exploring these questions, John Stott shows that evangelical Christianity is authentic Christianity, as Jesus taught, and has the power to utterly transform us.

Download or read book Compassionate Confrontation written by James Evans and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2007-07 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compassionate Confrontation is a compelling look at the cultural challenges facing the twenty-first century Christian. Written in a practical and direct style, the book presents a biblical alternative to the "take back the culture" and "stay out of the culture" agendas that are advocated by well-meaning Christians. It dares Christians to take God's Truth into the public arena where absolutes and Truth have been replaced by speculations and lies. Full of battlefield stories and biblical references, the book presents a balanced look at the American culture and the biblical role of the church within it. The author calls for Christians to compassionately confront a dying world with the life-giving Truth found in God's Word and demonstrated in the lives of true Christians. His passionate, logical exhortation to the church is based on biblical truth, shaped by the teachings of Francis Schaeffer, and tested in the trenches of experience. Jim Evans has been married to his wife, Joan, for thirty-one years. He is the father of four grown children and has two grandchildren. He received his undergraduate degree from Lancaster Bible College and his graduate degree from Palm Beach Atlantic University. He has established two churches, directed a mission to Haiti, and is currently engaged in conference speaking and assisting national preachers in Africa, India, and Eastern Europe. He has also served as a Christian lobbyist in New York, worked as police liaison for the anti-abortion group, Operation Rescue, was imprisoned for opposing abortion, testified in federal courts, and debated with opponents of Christianity on television, radio, and secular university campuses. Over thirty years of ministry experience in the streets, courtrooms, prisons, and churches of America give him an unusual qualification to speak to the issues confronting the church in twenty-first century America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You will be either mad or glad that you read this book. It will confront your beliefs with provocative, outrageous and preposterous statements. Statements that you should challenge. You will learn what you said yesterday impacts-no, it determines-what happens today and your whole future! This book came about because your author has seen too many believers who desperately need help but cannot find it in their churches. Yet, some women and men have risen from a life of deceit, lies, emptiness and defeat to one of love, fulfillment, truth and victory. How? By speaking the source of all wisdom, God’s Bible. You will be confronted with new ways to look at Bible verses that will rattle your cage. This book will prove that words are seeds: either seeds from a worldly perspective or Seeds that are God’s. Seeds left in a bag do not produce anything. They must be planted, i.e. spoken. Most Christians speak (plant) worldly seeds received from TV or experience. They do not speak (plant) God’s Words (Seeds). God’s Seeds left in your bag by only reading or thinking about them will profit you very little. You must speak His Words in order to plant them! You will learn how to speak regarding homologeo, healings, spiritual warfare, faith, the Holy Spirit, forgiveness and four very vital Greek words. This book will prove that despite all you have done wrong and all the sins you have committed that your future is full of hope!

Book excerpt: Walk through the gospel records of the “bold confrontations” of Jesus and discover how to use your newfound knowledge of the person of Jesus to defend the biblical truth of the Christian faith. Do you have any idea who Jesus really is? “What you think of Jesus Christ will thoroughly color how you think about everything else,” writes John MacArthur. This is a critical truth in the life of every believer. Your view of Jesus affects the way you view God, the world, and every one of your decisions. These days, Jesus is often portrayed as a pacifist, a philanthropist, or a docile teacher. He strikes a plastic--and sometimes pathetic--pose in the minds of many. Some prefer the meek and mild Jesus who heals the sick, calms fears, and speaks of peace and goodwill. These things do represent a portion of the Messiah. But tragically, too many have never been exposed to the rest of him. They have never seen a full 360-degree view of the Savior. His boldness in the face of confrontation and why that matters. Until now. Abridged from his classic bestseller, The Jesus You Can’t Ignore, Jesus Unleashed takes a revealing walk through the gospel records. Like an investigative journalist on a mission, author and teacher John MacArthur shows you a remarkable and compelling picture of Jesus unleashed.
