Book Synopsis The Ten Commandments and the Law of Christian Discipleship by : Barry a Allen
Download or read book The Ten Commandments and the Law of Christian Discipleship written by Barry a Allen and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How should contemporary Christians understand and obey the Ten Commandments? Do we do what they literally command or is a deeper level of obedience required? How can we obey these ancient Commandments written in stone by the hand of God? Certainly, Christians should believe that they can obey the Ten Commandments, but we must also believe that we must obey them. The Ten Commandments are just that. They are Commandments, and they are Commandments given to us by our Creator and Redeemer. If we do not obey them, we will not walk in close fellowship with God. And, we must not only obey the Letter of the Commandments, but we must obey the Spirit of the Commandments. The Spirit of the Commandments are God's intention, meaning, and purpose behind the Commandments which result in and reflect holiness in our lives and leads us along in our journey to higher levels of sanctification. Through the teachings, life, ministry, death, and resurrection of the God-man, Jesus Christ, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, we are taught in his words and shown in his actions what it means to love, serve, obey, and walk in obedience with God. This is done through obedience to his Great Commandments that we love God and each other, including our enemies, and by doing this, we find the answer to our question. Yes, we can obey both the Letter and the Spirit of the Ten Commandments by loving God and all others, and this is part of the Good News brought to us and demonstrated to us in the life, ministry, teachings, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension of our God Incarnate in Jewish Flesh, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God who is God the Son. In this brief overview of the Ten Commandments, Ordained Minister Rev. Dr. Barry A. Allen incorporates a decade of academic study and over sixteen years of pastoral experience into interpreting where the Ten Commandments fit into Christian discipleship in our contemporary society, and he highlights and celebrates that we can truly obey the Letter and the Spirit of the Ten Commandments by simply loving God and loving each other in obedience to the Great Commandments of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Book Synopsis SEVEN PILLARS OF DISCIPLESHIP: PRAYER AND DEVOTION: BOOK 3 by : Terren Dames
Download or read book SEVEN PILLARS OF DISCIPLESHIP: PRAYER AND DEVOTION: BOOK 3 written by Terren Dames and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Meditation, My Heart This book is based on the idea of personal worship—that is prayer, devotion, and meditation. As believer in Christ Jesus, we are all called to present ourselves a living sacrifice, pleasing and acceptable to God as a rational service of worship. This book is designed to provoke growth through probing questions regarding prayer to God in accordance with His Word, devotion to God by living according to His Word, and meditation on God’s Word to know the will of God that which is good and acceptable and perfect. This pillar is speaking to the person who has already received the saving knowledge of Christ Jesus and have become part of His church. To this, individual rests the responsibility to be conformed to the image of Christ—that is, to grow regarding their salvation as they become disciples of Christ. Believing in Jesus does not make one a disciple, but as Jesus said, the one who would choose to become His disciple must first deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Him. As a disciple, this is seen through one’s devotion to God and His Word through daily communion in prayer and meditating on God’s Word.
Book Synopsis Seven Pillars of Discipleship by : Dr. Terren L. Dames
Download or read book Seven Pillars of Discipleship written by Dr. Terren L. Dames and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of this book, Seven Pillars of Discipleship: Book One, is the first in a seven-part series on discipleship. Pillar one or book one deals with the beginning of the discipleship process (salvation). In order for one to become a disciple of Jesus the Christ, he/she must first be born again—that is the acceptance of Christ as Lord and Savior and the repentance (turning away from) sin. Book one seeks to show why salvation is necessary and God’s plan to redeem the world through the death of His only begotten Son. A misunderstanding of salvation results in an eternal outcome, hence, this is probably the most important message in the series and the most essential to the foundation of the discipleship process.

This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Go and make disciples.” Our command is clear; our mission is given. But what exactly is a disciple and what does discipleship really mean? In An Examination of the Theme of Discipleship in the Seven Churches of Revelation, Dr. Steve Roy takes the reader to the book of Revelation and to the specific letters from Jesus Christ himself. These letters help the reader to discover dramatically important conclusions as to what discipleship is and what it means to be a disciple. Through each of the letters to the seven churches, Jesus follows a particular pattern of discipleship and applies it to the specific churches in western Asia Minor. These patterns and instructions are just as relevant for us today as they were when John the Revelator sent them. This book is written for the person who wants to take discipleship seriously and for the pastor who stands before his congregation weekly with the purpose of making disciples.

Book Synopsis The Five Commandments of Jesus by : Patrick J. Amer
Download or read book The Five Commandments of Jesus written by Patrick J. Amer and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In The Five Commandments of Jesus: A New Approach to Christianity, Patrick Amer presents to the ordinary Christian and the theologian alike his new, refreshing, and clear approach to the mission and meaning of Jesus of Nazareth. Amer identifies the five commandments of Jesus as central within the recorded ethical teachings of Jesus. These five commandments show the continued relevance and importance of Jesus in expressing God's will and plan for humankind. The book is clearly written and readily accessible to all readers. Discussion groups across denominations will find that this book meets each reader at the exact point at which we all find ourselves today." Roger Haight, S. J., Union Theological Seminary In this book, Patrick Amer describes his discovery of the five commandments of Jesus. He shows that the commandments are not a random selection of commands. They are an integrated and focused attack on humanity's most deeply embedded anti-social behaviors, those placed there by natural selection. He shows that these behaviors were in ancient times absorbed into humanity's public institutions, and they are still there. The kingdom of God is the community of men and women who live by the five commandments of Jesus, applying them in their personal lives and to public institutions as well. This book examines each commandment to show how it is to be practiced in one's personal life and how it is to be applied to public institutions. By practicing the five commandments of Jesus, the followers of Jesus participate in his redeeming mission and with him save the world.

I am deeply grateful for this resource and recommend it wholeheartedly." Donna Claycomb Sokol, Pastor of Mount Veron Place United Methodist Church and author of A New Day in the City “A Disciple’s Path has the potential to revolutionize the way we view our participation in the church. Following this ‘path’ can transform us from wanderers into pilgrims.” —Dr. Steve Harper, Retired Professor of Spiritual Formation; author of Five Marks of a Methodist and Devotional Life in the Wesleyan Tradition “For churches transforming their invitation to membership into an opportunity for a discipleship journey.” — Lovett H. Weems, Jr., author and Distinguished Professor of Church Leadership and Director, Lewis Center for Church Leadership, Wesley Theological Seminary “Deeply grounded in the rich theology of the Wesleyan tradition and packed with practical suggestions.” – Roger Scholtz, Senior Pastor, Kloof Methodist Church, South Africa and professor at Seth Mokitimi Methodist Seminary “A very useful explanation of the traditional Wesleyan view of Christian discipleship, strengthened in particular by its stress on the balanced approach of the Methodist way.” —Dr. Richard P. Heitzenrater, Duke University Divinity School
Book Synopsis The Seven Commandments for Happiness and Propserity by : Shari Sharifi Brown
Download or read book The Seven Commandments for Happiness and Propserity written by Shari Sharifi Brown and published by Tate Publishing & Enterprises. This book was released on 2015-09-08 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will take the reader on an enchanting journey through the history of religion to discover the seven key principles that can bring you happiness and riches. The journey begins in prehistory when men worshipped multiple gods in forms of stone and wood. They sacrificed animals, humans, and even children to please these gods. The great Commandments of Moses were a revolutionary act of liberation. But as we shall see, the Israelites did not always follow them, and they suffered the consequences. Their story is indeed a testament to us today of what not to do if you want success in this life--and the next. The simplified Commandments of Jesus made them easier to follow, and offered them to all people. But wickedness in the name of Christianity by church leaders and average Christians came after lip service to the Commandments. The Arab people were still worshipping idols of many gods when they came in contact with Jews and Christians. One of them learned of their God and brought Commandments to his people, but like Jews and Christians, many Muslims went astray. The central theme of this book is to illustrate the fortunes and misfortunes of people who either decide to be inspired by grace to follow the Commandments, and achieve inner and outer peace, or to flout the Law and suffer the consequence.

Towards the end of The Seven Laws of Discipleship the author shares a brief thought: "Reminder: it is said, new habits take 30 days to root--give yourself 30 days to get the good habit ingrained into your life!!" Her advice, reflecting her own experience that gave rise to the book's reflections, offers a way to make this book serve as an ultimate guide. In truth, reading The Seven Laws of Discipleship means taking action. Pick up your Bible, find a concordance, immerse yourself in the laws of discipleship, and then you will discover the path that leads you to spiritual transformation.

Book Synopsis Personal Discipleship by : Benjamin Maira
Download or read book Personal Discipleship written by Benjamin Maira and published by Author House. This book was released on 2013-05-08 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term discipleship comes from the word disciple. What is discipleship? Who is a disciple? These are two key questions we must answer if we want to understand personal discipleship. Discipleship is adherence to the Master and Lords faith. Discipleship has to do with two things: following Christ and making disciples. Discipleship happens when a person believe Jesus Christ for their Salvation and continue to grow to be like him daily. A disciple on the other hand is a devoted person to the Lord Jesus Christ, an adherent or follower of the Lords faith. Personal discipleship is for today. Personal discipleship is of God. The Holy Spirit wants you to be a disciple and make other people disciples of the Lord. To be a disciple you need to have the following: salvation, the Holy Spirit, the anointing, devotions, witnessing, local church and pastoral ministry. Personal discipleship is new life of total commitment to the Lord. I have written Personal Discipleship book with one aim: to introduce to you the best thing in the world, which is to know the Lord and make Him known to multitude of souls (Making New Disciples). Also like Jesus Christ brought to us two things: apostleship and discipleship, you too may be able to do these two things in your lifetime. Notice: Discipleship is to find and follow the Lord, while Apostleship is sending away for the gospel and the work of the Lord.
Book Synopsis Discipleship from Jesus's Perspective by : George Gray
Download or read book Discipleship from Jesus's Perspective written by George Gray and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this masterful work George Gray calls the church to live out the most natural expression of her love and obedience to the Master. Grounded in careful exegesis, comprehensive, and sensitive to the complexities of modern life, Gray examines the Gospels as a script that reveals not only how Jesus shaped the first disciples, but how we must carry on making disciples in His name. David B. Capes, Thomas Nelson Research Professor, Houston Baptist University * * * Discipleship is not about teaching someone to pray and read his or her Bible; it is about learning how Jesus wants us to pray and read our Bibles. Discipleship is not about the doctrine of the Church, but the doctrine of Jesus Christ, the head of the Church. It is not about attending a church service, but attending to the Lord Jesus's view of what it means to be the church. In Discipleship from Jesus's Perspective, author George Gray presents a guide for becoming a disciple the way Jesus intended, that discipleship means adhering to His expressed will. Gray carefully examines Jesus's pivotal statements regarding discipleship and unearths the key principles that transform the art of making a disciple from a subjective guessing game to an objective and definitive master plan. Including purposeful questions and exercises, Discipleship from Jesus's Perspective provides practical steps for following the master plan and applying the commands to everyday life to become a true disciple of Jesus.
