Book Synopsis The Effects of Easy-Believism by : Lynn Atwell
Download or read book The Effects of Easy-Believism written by Lynn Atwell and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past fifty or so years, since the radicalism of the Sixties, there has been a great change in America's attitude toward religion in general, and Christianity in particular. We have gone from a Bible-believing, decidedly Christian, God-honoring nation, to one in which every attempt is being made to exclude God and the Bible from every facet of our society. Whereas once, people had a reverential fear of God and spiritual matters, now the Christian religion is scorned, openly attacked, and has become the object of ridicule on television and in our universities. Christians are viewed as being narrow-minded and bigoted; they are being accused of hate-speech for denouncing sin and unbiblical lifestyles; and are even being blamed for many of the modern ills of society. What are the reasons for this cultural shift in America, and who is responsible for allowing it to happen?

Book Synopsis Dealing with Easy Believism by : Jim Warren
Download or read book Dealing with Easy Believism written by Jim Warren and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-13 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the work of many social scientists the modern church, including the Evangelical Church, is losing its influence in American society. At the same time it faces a flood of findings on its lack of effectiveness in making disciples. Yet things do not stop there. Most studies show the church is losing people-especially its youth while affecting a smaller percentage of the population. This has caused many to take a hard look at not only the focus but many of the processes of the modern church. For some time there have been many books written on how the church presents the Gospel. Time and time again "Easy Believism" has been the label placed on its typical method. Saying a prayer and "really meaning it" has not produced the results we see in Jesus followers throughout the New Testament. In "Dealing with Easy Believism," Jim Warren does not add to the theological works on the fallacies of this method. Here he takes them for granted. Having been focused on bringing people into a relationship with God, Jim understands how easy it is to get people to pray a prayer of salvation. Yet he also realizes the lack of fruit from this flawed process. Here he shares a process he has found successful in allowing God to draw people into a life of discipleship and authentic community. Jim has worked with others to develop systems that plant, cultivate and grow authentic communities of Jesus followers. He sees the modern church built on a process he calls a 20th century business model of organizational development. According to Warren that system implements, develops and increases organization. This, he proposes, replaces the authentic community found illustrated in the New Testament. He lays out his process in an earlier work, "An Introduction to Dynamic Community Development: A Process Developed to Cultivate Transformative Community through Discipleship & Outreach Based on Invested Ministry." One area Jim Warren speaks to in that volume is an introduction to American cultural barricades. It is his contention that these barricades hamper spiritual development. These stifle much of Christians' focus on being conformed to the image of Christ within the context of authentic community. In the preface to this book Warren writes, ." . . the most insidious of them all emanates from the church itself-Easy Believism." While a small book, we discover here important insights into the content of the gospel message. Jim sees the outcome of his process of presenting that message as creating disciples of Jesus. He sets this in juxtaposition to "getting people saved." "Dealing with Easy Believism" has only 33 pages of text in print form. Yet it presents an important message for all Christians who seek to encourage other people to establish an authentic relationship with God.
Book Synopsis The Gospel Call and True Conversion by : Paul Washer
Download or read book The Gospel Call and True Conversion written by Paul Washer and published by Reformation Heritage Books. This book was released on 2013-06-21 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The apostle Paul gave the gospel the first place in his preaching, endeavored with all his might to proclaim it clearly, and even went so far as to pronounce a curse upon all those who would pervert its truth. Yet how sad it is that many, even among those considering themselves evangelicals, have reduced the gospel message to a few trite statements to be repeated, and view conversion as a mere human decision. In The Gospel Call and True Conversion , Paul Washer challenges such easy believism as he examines the real meaning of things like faith, repentance, and receiving Christ. He also deals extensively with the effects of saving grace that God promises in the new covenant; namely, the creation of new hearts and new people. Table of Contents: PART ONE: The Gospel Call 1. A Call to Repentance 2. A Call to Faith 3. Believe and Confess 4. Receiving Christ 5. Christ at Heart’s Door PART TWO: New Hearts and the Nature of True Conversion 6. The Great Motive and End of Salvation 7. The Author of Salvation 8. Separation and Cleansing 9. A New Heart 10. The Effectual Spirit PART THREE: New People and the Nature of True Conversion 11. The Glory of the New Covenant 12. The Making of New People 13. The Christian’s Sure Knowledge of God 14. The Heart and Way of God’s People 15. The Everlasting Covenant 16. God’s Goodness to His People Series Descriptions Although the Recovering the Gospel Series does not represent an entirely systematic presentation of the gospel, it does address most of the essential elements, especially those that are most neglected in contemporary Christianity. It is the hope of the author that these words might be a guide to help you rediscover the gospel in all its beauty, scandal, and saving power. It is his prayer that such a rediscovery might transform your life, strengthen your proclamation, and bring the greatest glory to God.
Book Synopsis The Gospel According to the Apostles by : John F. MacArthur
Download or read book The Gospel According to the Apostles written by John F. MacArthur and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2005-03-06 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The apostles understood the Gospel as they learned from and personally lived alongside Jesus, and these lessons became the heart of their message to an unsaved world. But what does their perspective mean for modern Christians, and how can we read the Bible through their unique lens today? Following the release of his bestselling book The Gospel According to Jesus, Dr. MacArthur noticed that Christians were looking for practical advice, spiritual counsel, and accessible explanations of the Bible. And, most of all, they wanted help understanding their experiences within Christianity. Dr. MacArthur realized that by examining scripture from the perspective of the apostles themselves, even more Christians could come to know the Gospel as Jesus' earliest followers did. In his characteristic compelling style, Dr. MacArthur examines some of the key passages from the Epistles and Acts that reveal how the apostles first shared the gospel and how they unfolded the truths of salvation to the early church. Dr. MacArthur doesn't shy away from answering some of the difficult questions that he's been asked over the years, including: What is cheap grace? Have some Christians adopted a "no-lordship" theology? What must a person do to be considered righteous by God? How should we call people to faith? Do our works have any effect on our salvation? The Gospel According to the Apostles is a book for every Christian who wants to experience, understand, and fall in love with the same gospel that Jesus preached.
Book Synopsis The Gospel According to Jesus by : John F. MacArthur
Download or read book The Gospel According to Jesus written by John F. MacArthur and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-05-26 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is authentic faith? The Gospel According to Jesus challenges Christians to re-evaluate their commitment to Christ by examining their fruits. MacArthur asks, "What does it really mean to be saved?" He urges readers to understand that their conversion was more than a mere point in time, that, by definition, it includes a lifetime of obedience. John MacArthur tackles the error of "easy-believism" by addressing these questions: Is it possible to accept Jesus as Savior while refusing him as Lord? Can someone truly believe without actually repenting? How do obedience, commitment to Christ, and turning from sin fit together with the truth that we are saved by grace through faith alone? The Gospel According to Jesus is just as powerful today as it was more than two decades ago. It is a Scripture-based clarion call for a rejection of the watered-down message that has gained popularity in the church and a return to the gospel Jesus preached. This 20th anniversary edition adds a powerful new chapter to the complete text of the original classic, reinforcing the book's timeless message—that Jesus demands to be both Savior and Lord to all who believe. This book is compulsory reading for Christians from all walks of life and will help guide you into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.

Book Synopsis Voices of Descent by : Mark Protsman
Download or read book Voices of Descent written by Mark Protsman and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2024-03-25 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embark on a Journey Through the Shadows of Faith Prepare your heart and mind for an exploration unlike any other. Voices of Dissent: Exploring the Quiet Death takes you deep into the heart of a theological controversy that has silently divided believers for centuries. This compelling tome offers a profound look into antinomianism--or easy-believism--and its quiet yet profound impact on the fabric of faith. From the very onset, with The Silent Death Unveiled, you will be guided through a meticulously researched historical overview, unveiling the roots of a belief system that promotes faith without accompanying deeds. But, what makes this doctrine so alluring? The Allure of Easy-Believism chapter seeks to answer precisely that, revealing the hidden seductions of this faith perspective. As you journey further into this narrative, you will discover the longstanding battle between traditional faith pillars and the antinomian stance. Delve into chapters like The Historical Battle and The Church's Fight Against Antinomianism to witness the unrest and division that this contest of beliefs has stirred throughout history. Yet, it's within the pages of Scripture's Clear Stance and How Matthew 7:13-14 Destroys Easy-Believism that the voice of truth seeks to resonate, offering clarity amidst confusion. The allure of an effortless path to salvation is dissected, revealing a hollow core through chapters such as Dead Saving Faith and Justification Without Sanctification. It's a journey to uncover the essence of true conversion, leading you to a profound understanding that belief and action must walk hand in hand. Transformed Behavior and Total Transformation underscore the undeniable evidence of genuine faith--a life utterly changed. Voices of Dissent: Exploring the Quiet Death is not just a book; it's an invitation to explore, challenge, and ultimately understand the depths of your own faith. Will you heed the call?

Book Synopsis The Doctrines of Grace by : James Montgomery Boice
Download or read book The Doctrines of Grace written by James Montgomery Boice and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no question that we live in an age of weak theology and casual Christianity. We have substituted intuition for truth, feeling for belief and immediate gratification for enduring hope. Evangelicalism desperately needs to return to the doctrines that once before reformed the world: radical depravity, unconditional election, particular redemption, efficacious grace and persevering grace. James Boice and Philip Ryken not only provide a compelling exposition on these doctrines of grace, but also look briefly at their historical impact. The authors leave no doubt that the church suffers when these foundational truths are neglected and that she must return to a Christianity that is practical-minded, kind-hearted, and most importantly, biblically based.

Book Synopsis Following Jesus, the Servant King by : Jonathan Lunde
Download or read book Following Jesus, the Servant King written by Jonathan Lunde and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2010-11-23 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book presents a biblical theology of discipleship that gives the “big picture” of God’s relationship with humanity. It surveys God’s interaction with humankind from Eden, through the sequence of the biblical covenants, and on into the fulfillment that comes in Jesus. Throughout, the twin themes emerge—one of God’s demand of righteousness and another of his prior, enabling grace. Discipleship to Jesus stands in relation to its Old Testament precedents, preserving continuity in the grace/demand interplay. Jesus’ ministry to Israel is the fulfillment of the interactions between God and his people, assuming the roles of righteous King and gracious Servant. Faithful discipleship to Jesus the King, therefore, must always involve responding to his bracing call for righteousness, but doing so in the ongoing experience of the Servant’s prior, enabling grace. This book provides an understanding of Jesus that will facilitate ongoing experiences of transforming grace, which in turn will enable faithful discipleship. As such, it presents a view of Christian discipleship that is grounded in an informed Christology of Jesus, the Servant King."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not a Fan has already called more than one million readers to consider the demands and rewards of being a true disciple--moving from fan to follower in their relationship with Jesus. After years of serving God, pastor and bestselling author Kyle Idleman had a startling revelation: for too long, he had been living as a fan of Jesus; someone who tried to make Christianity seem as appealing, comfortable, and convenient as he possibly could to others. Idleman decided something had to change--he needed to embark on the journey of becoming a completely committed follower of God, not just a fan. Fans want to be close enough to Jesus to get all the benefits, but not so close that it requires sacrifice, while followers are all in and completely committed to Christ. Not a Fan gives you the tools you need to determine exactly where you stand when it comes to your relationship with Jesus. No matter where you are in your walk with Christ, Not a Fan calls you to consider the demands and rewards of being a true disciple. With frankness and a touch of humor, Idleman invites you to: Examine your relationship with God Determine if you're following Jesus or just following the rules Pray the way Jesus prayed Start truly living for the one who gave his all for you This expanded and updated version of Not a Fan also includes a new introduction and an entirely new chapter about how to practically live out the book's core message. Join Idleman as he challenges you to take an honest look at your relationship with Jesus and discover what it really means to be a follower.
