Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those who have been fortunate enough to read "The Gospel for an Age of Doubt," by Dr. Henry Van Dyke, will welcome this companion volume. Dr. Van Dyke's style is always simple, direct, and convincing. One epigram following hard upon another gives added force to the treatment of the subject. Dr. Van Dyke has not given us anything startlingly new, but he has said things in a new and attractive way. Something of the style may be gathered from the following excerpt: "Doubt is the blinding mist that rises between man's spiritual vision and the eternal truth. "Sin is the great gulf that separates man's moral character from the divine ideal. "The pain of doubt is an evidence that man was made for faith. The shame of sin is an evidence that man was created for holiness." A gospel for humanity must be good news both for doubters and sinners. its sympathy will always be the measure of its power. Dr. Van Dyke is expectant, hopeful; he believes in a renaissance of religion. "The educated youth of today are turning with a mighty, world-wide movement toward the banner of a militant, expectant, imperial Christianity." While the sins of the world are many, the sin of the world is one. The desire of good and the recognition of evil are the two facts around which human society is organized. The necessity of evil is denied, for the practical knowledge of the nature of evil comes to us through the same moral sense which makes us aware of its existence. "The sense of sin is God's unbroken hold upon the heart of man." A considerable portion of the book is devoted to a discussion of the atonement. The subject is not handled in the usual way. A definition is scarcely attempted, although when one has finished the book he has a very clear idea at least of what Dr. Van Dyke understands by the atonement. "To attempt to define atonement would be to attempt the impossible. The work of Christ for the saving of sinners can never be confined within the phrases which men invent to describe what they can see of it. It overflows the boundaries. Its fullness makes it indefinable." Another reason which the author gives for not attempting to define atonement is that the very attempt to define it has so often led to misconception and strife between men who believed in it with equal sincerity, and after this he goes on to say that a third reason why definition is not attempted is because none is needed. "The word is clear enough and plain enough already. It denotes a certain mystery - the entire work of Christ in reuniting man to God - the perfect result of that work in the establishment of peace between man and God - the redeeming relation of that work to human sin - the satisfying relation of that work to divine righteousness - it denotes a mystery, but it denotes it in language which brings it into analogy with things that we know, and throws upon it light enough to enable us to see at least some of its essential elements," which, after all, may be taken as a fairly clear exposition of what atonement is. -Public Opinion, Volume 27 [1899]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If there were a Guinness Book of World Records entry for ‘amount of times having prayed the sinner’s prayer,’ I’m pretty sure I’d be a top contender,” says pastor and author J. D. Greear. He struggled for many years to gain an assurance of salvation and eventually learned he was not alone. “Lack of assurance” is epidemic among evangelical Christians. In Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart, J. D. shows that faulty ways of present- ing the gospel are a leading source of the confusion. Our presentations may not be heretical, but they are sometimes misleading. The idea of “asking Jesus into your heart” or “giving your life to Jesus” often gives false assurance to those who are not saved—and keeps those who genuinely are saved from fully embracing that reality. Greear unpacks the doctrine of assurance, showing that salvation is a posture we take to the promise of God in Christ, a posture that begins at a certain point and is maintained for the rest of our lives. He also answers the tough questions about assurance: What exactly is faith? What is repentance? Why are there so many warnings that seem to imply we can lose our salvation? Such issues are handled with respect to the theological rigors they require, but Greear never loses his pastoral sensitivity or a communication technique that makes this message teachable to a wide audience from teens to adults.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helps Christians to share their faith in today's world confidently and effectively. The world has changed in so many ways, and many of us no longer feel confident when it comes to evangelism, especially with the rise of hostility towards Christian points of view. Keeping quiet is becoming our default position. Yet the world has not changed in one way-it still needs Jesus. Renowned evangelist Becky Pippert draws on decades of conversations about Christianity around the world to call and equip ordinary Christians to share Jesus through their ordinary day-to-day conversations. She shows that by leaning on our extraordinary God, such conversations can, and often do, have extraordinary results. They will transform hearts, transform society, and transform the world! Weaving Bible teaching with compelling stories, Stay Salt is the next generation "Out of the Saltshaker" for this new era. It will give readers the confidence share Jesus like Jesus-relevantly, thoughtfully, and effectively. Contains discussion questions for small groups at the end of each chapter.

Download or read book What Is the Gospel? written by Greg Gilbert and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2010-03-09 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the gospel? It seems like a simple question, yet it has been known to incite some heated responses, even in the church. How are we to formulate a clear, biblical understanding of the gospel? Tradition, reason, and experience all leave us ultimately disappointed. If we want answers, we must turn to the Word of God. Greg Gilbert does so in What Is the Gospel? Beginning with Paul's systematic presentation of the gospel in Romans and moving through the sermons in Acts, Gilbert argues that the central structure of the gospel consists of four main subjects: God, man, Christ, and a response. The book carefully examines each and then explores the effects the gospel can have in individuals, churches, and the world. Both Christian and non-Christian readers will gain a clearer understanding of the gospel in this valuable resource.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gospel for a World of Sin: A Companion-Volume to "the Gospel for an Age of Doubt" This book is not meant to present a theory of the Atonement. On the contrary, it is meant to teach that there is no theory broad or deep enough to embrace or explain the fact. A sinful world cannot possibly know all that is needed to reconcile it with a holy God. Sin itself, in its root and in its relations, contains a mystery. So does love. But the Atonement is the work of God's love in its bearing upon man's sin. Therefore it must include more than we can explain. What Christ did to take away the sin of the world was precisely all that was needed, - neither more nor less. What we know of this need is what we know about the Atonement.
