Book excerpt: "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him." (Acts 10:38) The church cries out for revival and the sweeping power of the Holy Spirit, to see lives changed and bodies healed as in the book of Acts, and this the promise of Jehovah. The church has been sent to GO and do GREATER WORKS than those told in the gospels. What then keeps the church from an amazing demonstration of God's presence? In a study of the Scriptures, author, SUZANNE D. WILLIAMS, describes the church as God expects it to be - a loving, forgiving church, free of condemnation and criticisms, submissive to people, honoring government, and incredibly generous. A PASSIONATE CHURCH, on fire for the things of God and "willing and obedient" to God's principles as demonstrated in the life, death, and Resurrection of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Book Synopsis The Passionate Bride by : Alan Davey
Download or read book The Passionate Bride written by Alan Davey and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-03-25 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians is a bold declaration of love. We were in the ruminations of Abba before the stardust formed into galaxies and the earth coalesced into its present shape. Indeed, Abba’s dream for his people already existed in those primordial days. Today we have the opportunity to wake up and embrace his dream with enthusiasm and intentionality. As members of his church, individually and collectively, we want to embrace God’s desire for a dynamic people infused with his passionate love. The church as the bride of Christ is a powerful metaphor engaging the apostle as he writes his letter. Paul’s passion becomes ours as we meditate on his words, which evoke spiritual desire. It is in this relationship of love that the central purpose of our lives is found. As we gratefully receive Christ’s amity, and as his bride returns it, so the entire earth is enflamed with the fires of his love. At the same time, we recognize it is a mystery—this love between Abba and his church. When we receive and reflect Christ’s overtures of love as a community of faith, a synergy is created and released through the interconnectedness of our gifts, talents, and zeal. The church contains the spiritual energy of a nuclear explosion, and when it detonates, it releases a fallout of love, mercy, and compassion, bringing healing to the world and drawing others to the divine presence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2011 Christianity Today Book Award winner! Alister McGrath, one of the most prominent theologians and public intellectuals of our day, explains how Christian thinking can and must have a positive role in shaping, nourishing and safeguarding the Christian vision of reality.

It deepens our appreciation of the gospel's ability to engage with the complexities of the natural world on the one hand and human experience on the other.
Book Synopsis Primitive Piety: A Journey from Suburban Mediocrity to Passionate Christianity by : Ian Stackhouse
Download or read book Primitive Piety: A Journey from Suburban Mediocrity to Passionate Christianity written by Ian Stackhouse and published by Authentic Media Inc. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Primitive Piety Ian Stackhouse takes us on a journey away from the safe world of suburban piety, with its stress on moderation and politeness, and into the extreme and paradoxical world of biblical faith. As someone who has pastored churches in suburbia for the last twenty years, the author is convinced that so much that passes off as Christian faith falls short of the radicalism or primitivism that we see in the pages of scripture: a primitivism that includes honest lament, dogged prayer, raw emotions and heart-felt desire. In a culture in which there is every danger that we all look the same and speak the same, Stackhouse argues for a more gritty kind of faith - one that celebrates the oddity of the gospel, the eccentricity of the saints, and the utter uniqueness of each and every church.

Download or read book Passion Cry written by Robbie Symons and published by . This book was released on 2016-01 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apathy is killing the Church. Many who claim to know Jesus live unchanged lives and divide their affections among worthless idols. "Passion Cry" reveals a holy God who is unashamedly jealous for the love of His people, and He will not let this dispassion toward Him remain. The Church has suffered too long from the pressure to conform to a dull, disinterested, lukewarm, and detached approach to Christ. The tide must turn. In the face of societal pressure, cultural and moral revolution, and an anti-Christ flavor that increases every day, Pastor Robbie Symons calls the people of God to rise up and take their stand. As the persecution upon Christ-followers goes from subtle to unmistakable, the current generation of believers is about to find out where their passions truly lie. "I believe that Robbie has laid his finger on the most distressing aspect of the Christian life..." Erwin Lutzer, Senior Pastor, The Moody Church "If you want fresh passion for the purposes of the Lord in your life, you are holding a book on that topic written by a man who lives it and wants to help you get there, too." James MacDonald, Senior Pastor, Harvest Bible Chapel ""Passion Cry" is an incredibly powerful and practical distillation of biblical zeal that will eradicate apathy and equip you to live a fulfilling and fruitful Christian life. " Daniel Henderson, President, Strategic Renewal International "This book will powerfully reinvigorate your life in Christ. I highly recommend "Passion Cry."" James Reimer, NHL Goaltender About the Author: Robbie Symons is the founding pastor of Harvest Bible Chapel in Oakville, Ontario. Harvest Oakville began as a humble Bible study in 2003 and quickly grew into a church of 3,500 that has planted several daughter churches across Canada. Robbie can be heard on "Live in the Light," a daily radio ministry covering southern Ontario and western New York, and has appeared multiple times on "100 Huntley Street." He and his wife, Gillian, have four children and live in Burlington, Ontario. For more information about Robbie, visit harvestoakville.ca or liveinthelight.ca.

Book Synopsis Passionate Holiness by : O'Neill Dennis O'Neill
Download or read book Passionate Holiness written by O'Neill Dennis O'Neill and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW 2010 B&W Edition Archbishop Desmond Tutu of Cape Town once said with regard to South Africa's Apartheid policy, "One of the ways of helping to destroy a people is to tell them that they don't have a history, that they have no roots." He recently described homophobic discrimination "as totally unacceptable and unjust as Apartheid ever was." Unfortunately, it has been particularly difficult for some gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered Christians to remain connected with and identified with their own faith traditions because some of these traditions not only treat them as people of secondary status but teach Christian history as though no people of same-gender attraction or opposite-gender identity had any noteworthy place in it and had made no significant contributions at all to Christian tradition.Passionate Holiness tries to remedy this situation by explaining why acquaintance with the stories of Sts. Polyeuct and Nearchus, Sts. Sergius and Bacchus, Christ/Holy Wisdom, Sts. Matrona, Perpetua and Felicity, Brigid and Darlughdach, and many others with whom gender minorities can identify can help them to connect with their own history and spiritual legacy and empower them to face a brighter future with a sense of optimism and inclusion. The story of the removal of the feast of Sts. Sergius and Bacchus from the liturgical calendar of the Roman Catholic Church in 1969 - ironically, the very year New York's Stonewall Riots launched the gay liberation movement - is a particularly revealing example of how far some religious authorities will go to keep gender minorities distanced from their own history. This is all explored in Passionate Holiness. "It's a marvelous, beautiful book." Ursula Vaughan Williams poet, novelist, and widow of composer Ralph Vaughan Williams "It was a fascinating study. Congratulations on a job well done." Andrew M. Greeley priest, sociologist, novelist "Many thanks for sending me your book Passionate Holiness, which I enjoyed very much. It is a fascinating account of the cult of Holy Wisdom, mixed with stories of various 'distinctive people' and the roles they have played in the history of the Church. It is full of saints, sinners, heretics, martyrs, and those who persecuted them. Some of these people, and the ideas they believed in, have featured in my novels, though there was much that I was not aware of. The material in the Russian and Irish chapters were new to me. You say at the beginning of Chapter VII that the reader may cry out "Too much information". Not me! Passionate Holiness is a work of remarkable scholarship, and I wish it had been published before I wrote my Byzantine novels, rather than afterwards. If I ever return to Byzantium as a subject, I am sure I will find your book invaluable. The icons that illustrate the book are beautiful. You are lucky to have access to works by such gifted artists. If only my publisher had commissioned something similar for the cover of Theodore. Maybe next time!" Christopher Harris English novelist, author of "Theodore," "Memoirs of a Byzantine Eunuch," and "False Ambassador" "Here's something the antigay modern Roman Catholic Church would like to forget: In the early years of Christianity, homosexual saints were worshipped too, as Dennis O'Neill reminds us. O'Neill is a Chicago-based Catholic pastor who 11 years ago founded The Living Circle, a spirituality center devoted to GLBT people and their friends. In 1995 the Circle hosted an art exhibit entitled "Passionate Holiness" that displayed such holy icons as Saint Boris and George the Hungarian and Saints Brigid and Darlughdach of Kildare. O'Neill's retelling of such stories, plus striking color illustrations, will surprise and inspire any reader, gay or not." Anne Stockwell Review from "The Advocate", May 24, 2005 issue, p. 82. "Passionate Holiness is indeed a remarkable book, unlike any other that I know of. Its scope

Download or read book The Passionate Armor written by Vince Wisniewski and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: he insights Vince has received from his daily reading of the Bible from 1974 to the present day are quite different than ninety-five percent of what is taught in churches of all denominations today. He will challenge Christians to re-examine some of the most commonly held beliefs today, such as; God loves you unconditionally, By faith only are you saved, and God hears all prayers. Vince asks, "What does the Bible really say about these statements?" and concludes that perhaps "obedience is better than gratitude or worship," and that "with love you actually can fulfill the Law!" Vince Wisniewski began his working career as a machinist and soon realized that was not his calling He then developed an interest in Natural Medicine and pursued a profession in Herbal medicine and Acupuncture. For the past ten years he has been conducting research into Auto-immune diseases, and has also been very interested in world events as they relate to Biblical Prophecy.
