Book excerpt: Developing from Girolama Zanchi’s exegetical labors through Ephesians, Spiritual Marriage draws readers into the rich theological of doctrine of union with Christ. Following the lead of the apostle Paul, Zanchi demonstrates how our earthly marriages fulfill their truest purpose by drawing our attention toward the spiritual marriage between Christ and His Church.

Book Synopsis Christian Marriage by : Dr. John Thomas Wylie
Download or read book Christian Marriage written by Dr. John Thomas Wylie and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-03-03 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marriage and the family are God-given institutions, more established by hundreds of years than the church. It was God who founded marriage in the Garden of Eden when he said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make Him an help meet for him (Gen. 2:18). It was God who setteth the solitary in families (Psalm 68:6). The God of creation saw that the supporting power of humanity is in the family. Furthermore, in his intelligence, he put the way to the quality of the family in the relationship of marriage. Marriage is, in the Christian ideal, one man and one woman holding hands with each other and with God, forever. No other human relationship is so requesting or so fulfilling. There is a test in marriage to be discovered no place else. This relationship requests the best that a man and a woman can provide for it. All that each has of affection, comprehension, persistence, forgiveness, and a score of different graces are required. This is a great resource for the clergy and laypersons alike. All issues in this publication are from the Christian perspective with a biblical foundation. This publication not only covers issues pertaining to the Christian marriage (primarily a divine institution), but it also pertains to issues of marital counseling, family, the childrens reverence and obedience to parents, the parents mutual love and affection for each other and their children, worship in the home, and last but not the least, the chief design of the state or civil government. Jesus said, Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness (Matt. 6:33). When husband and wife obey this command and teach their children to obey it, families have a future that is eternal and that fadeth not away.

Book Synopsis Theoretical-Practical Theology, Volume 3 by : Petrus Van Mastricht
Download or read book Theoretical-Practical Theology, Volume 3 written by Petrus Van Mastricht and published by Reformation Heritage Books. This book was released on 2021-04-24 with total page 1038 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Petrus van Mastricht’s Theoretical-Practical Theology presents one of the most comprehensive methods of treating Christian doctrine. In it, Mastricht treats every theological topic according to a four-part approach: exegetical, dogmatic, elenctic, and practical. As a body of divinity, it combines a rigorous, scholastic treatment of doctrine with the pastoral aim of preparing people to live for God through Christ. Students and pastors will find it a valuable model for moving from the text of Scripture to doctrinal formulation that will edify the people of God. Volume 3, The Works of God and the Fall of Man, is a book of origins—origins of the created order and of sin. Mastricht begins with a discussion of the decrees of God and how they establish His eternal purpose for everything. He then shows how the decrees are carried out in creation and in God’s continual providence. The volume concludes with Mastricht’s treatment of the apostacy of Adam from his original estate and the devastating effects of sin that followed. This is an important volume for learning how God governs all things, even the rebellious actions of those good things He created. Table of Contents: Part 1 Continued: Prolegomena and Faith Book 3: The Works of God The Actions and Decrees of God Predestination Election Reprobation Creation in General The World and the Work of the Six Days The Good Angels The Evil Angels Man and the Image of God The General Providence of God Special Providence The Covenant of Nature Book 4: Man’s Apostasy from God The Violation of the Covenant of Nature Original Sin Actual Sin The Penalty and State of Sin
Book Synopsis The Bride & Bridegroom by : Riaan Engelbrecht
Download or read book The Bride & Bridegroom written by Riaan Engelbrecht and published by Riaan Engelbrecht. This book was released on 2023-06-06 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lord is our Bridegroom, and those who belong to Jesus Christ are His Bride. Those who believe have been included in Christ when they heard the message of truth, the gospel of our salvation. The moment we hear the message of the gospel and receive salvation we are betrothed to Christ. Such a Bride is sold out for the Bridegroom, seeking to be with Him and to love him for all eternity. This church—the Bride of Christ—is not one specific local church or denomination but the entire body of believers throughout the ages. All who have trusted the Lord and received salvation by grace through faith are collectively His Bride. As the Bride, we are called to have only one true eternal love – Christ. The Lord Jesus is our Bridegroom, the Lover of my soul. It means that we share His love. It means we bear His Name. We are called to uphold the name of Jesus. Through our actions, words, behaviour and conduct, we must bring honour to the name of our Bridegroom! We are His Bride, and as such, we must bring honour to our Bridegroom. We must not put Him to shame. What He loves we must love. He must be ours and captivate our attention day and night. In any true marriage, the bridegroom and the bride give themselves to each other, unreservedly and forever; and in this holy relationship of the saved sinner and the Saviour, it is the same. We are called to shine the light of the Bridegroom, to be ready for His coming, and to be without spot or wrinkle when it happens. We must make every effort to be found pleasing unto the Bridegroom, for the marriage feast in heaven will outshine any grand wedding that has ever been held on earth! The Bridegroom is indeed glorious, so let us prepare and remain consecrated unto holiness. May the Bridegroom find a pure and faithful Bride at His blessed coming!

Book Synopsis The Gospel & Marriage by : Russell D. Moore

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If marriage is a picture of Christ and the Church, our homes should look like the gospel. While the culture has never been more confused about the definition of what marriage is, those who are married have never been more hopeless about how marriage should be lived. The times have never been more crucial for digging deeper, past the definition of marriage to the structure of marriage, the blessings of marriage, and the opportunity for living out the image of the gospel that’s embodied within marriage. So, what now? Editors Russell Moore and Andrew T. Walker of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) assemble leading voices to frame the issues with a gospel-centered perspective. The Gospel for Life series gives every believer a biblically-saturated understanding of the most urgent issues facing our culture today, because the gospel is for all of life.

Download or read book The Love Triangle written by Renee Beamer and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes marriage work? The answer appears to be hidden from countless couples that find it impossible to keep their covenant of love. Today, one out of every two marriages in America ends in divorce, and the state of the family is in crisis. The rebuilding of the foundational structure of our nation is absolutely essential, and it must begin within the home. The Love Triangle exposes God’s design for marriage as detailed in Ephesians 5:22-33. Husbands learn what it means to love their wives as Christ loved the Church, and wives understand the importance of submission. To know God’s Word on the subject of marriage is one matter; to live it necessitates the following warning: “Do not miss the symbolism of the wedding ceremony taking place at the altar. Something is about to be sacrificed.” The Love Triangle explores obstacles in society, self and the spiritual realm that prevent a couple’s intimacy with God and with one another. To stand firm in the face of those challenges is to fulfill the call of God that is specific for the married: “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it” (Genesis 1:28a). It is time for marriages to find healing, unity and this God-defined purpose. Renee Beamer, founder of Sharing Love and Truth Ministry, writes from her more than 20 years experience of wedded bliss and includes stories from others who also remain strong in their marriages despite the storms of the past. In each account of their struggles to remain faithful, the conclusion leads directly to the heart of God. The Father’s desire to be known more intimately and His presence enjoyed more fully is beautifully portrayed in the unfolding of a “profound mystery” in marriage.

Book Synopsis A Theology of the Christian Life by : Christopher R. J. Holmes
Download or read book A Theology of the Christian Life written by Christopher R. J. Holmes and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gets at the heart of the Christian life by considering some of the great truths of God's existence. Christopher Holmes, an expert in contemporary theology, engages with the church fathers along with Augustine and Aquinas to offer a rich, accessible account of the triune God and the divine perfections. Holmes shows how we share in the life of God through imitation and participation and how the doctrines of the triune God and the divine attributes shape our understanding of the Christian life. Throughout, Holmes demonstrates the importance of theology for Christian faith and practice.
Book Synopsis The Trinity & the Bible by : Scott R. Swain
Download or read book The Trinity & the Bible written by Scott R. Swain and published by Lexham Academic. This book was released on 2021-09-29 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeing the Trinity in Scripture Orthodox Christians affirm and worship a triune God. But how should this affect our reading of the Bible? In The Trinity and the Bible, Scott R. Swain asserts that not only does the Bible reveal the Trinity, but the Trinity illuminates our reading of the Bible. Swain reflects on method and applies a Trinitarian framework to three exegetical studies. Explorations of three genres of New Testament literature—Gospel, epistle, and apocalyptic—display the profits of theological interpretation. Through loving attention to the Scriptures, one can understand and marvel at the singular identity and activity of the triune God.
Book Synopsis Sex and the Marriage Covenant by : John Kippley
Download or read book Sex and the Marriage Covenant written by John Kippley and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2014-01-23 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thesis of this book is that God intends that sexual intercourse should be at least implicitly a renewal of the marriage covenant. From this it follows that the marriage covenant provides the criterion to evaluate the morality of every sexual act. Thus the title, Sex and the Marriage Covenant, is an appropriate description of the bookಙs contents. Marriage comes into being by a couple unreservedly entering God's covenant of marriage; contraceptive intercourse contradicts the very essence of the marriage covenant. From these considerations, Kippley developed the covenant theology of sexuality described in this book.
Download or read book The Sacred Search written by Gary Thomas and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2021-04-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author Gary Thomas transforms the way you look at romantic relationships. His unique perspective on dating will prepare you for a satisfying, spiritually enriching marriage. In the revised edition of his hit book The Sacred Search, Gary Thomas helps single people of all ages make wise marital choices by rethinking what basis those choices should be made on. You will be encouraged to think beyond finding your “soul mate” and instead adopt a more biblical search for a “sole mate”—someone who will walk with you on your spiritual journey. Thomas asks, What if we focused on why we should get married more than on who to marry? What if being “in love” isn’t a good enough reason to get married? And most of all, what if God designed marriage to make us holy more than to make us happy? The Sacred Search casts a vision for building a relationship around shared spiritual mission—and making marriage with eternity at its heart.
Book Synopsis The Authority of Love by : Greg Williams
Download or read book The Authority of Love written by Greg Williams and published by Greg Williams. This book was released on 2020-10-22 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Authority of Love is indeed, a “wake up call for the modern-day American church” to restore the Biblical standards of marriage, family and the church which are still compelling and transforming." Bob Russell (Retired), Southeast Christian Church, Louisville, KY Love…what we desperately need. Authority…what we doggedly avoid…unless we’re in control which is not real authority. Truth, love, authority, humility, a servant’s heart…all qualities of Christ …all qualities we talk about and aspire to as Christians and as disciples of Christ. Christ is the way, the Truth and the life. Christ (God) is Love. All Authority has been given to Him and in Him all things were made and exist by Him. He is the epitome of Humility. And He displayed the purest of servant hearts. All of these tremendous traits and virtues are found in Him. Throughout the centuries we have sought to attain these as noble and good, even in our culture and yet, as in so many cases, we’ve sought and defined them in our own terms, much to our detriment. As usual we have separated virtues in order to perfect them in and of ourselves. Christ had a better way and in His Kingdom we find that because He embodied and modeled all of these traits and qualities in perfection, He calls us to walk accordingly. As His Body, The Church, instead of following culture and separating them, attempting to perfect each, we would be wise to heed and follow His example as our Lord and see them all as inseparable and live them out just as He did. Separating these qualities as we are prone to do in our flesh has never worked. The Authority of Love points us to Christ and God’s Word and draws on real life stories to show us how Truth, Love, Authority, Humility and a Servant’s Heart are embodied in Christ and His Kingdom and how we can follow His lead in our life, marriage, family and in His Church to show the world a different way…His Way! If you are serious about walking with Christ as Lord in your life, marriage, family...in every arena of your life, this book is for you. Love and Lordship, from which this book springs, is a ministry and message that calls those who claim Christ as Savior and Lord to display the image of God in these four areas in their life and relationships: 1)Christ as Lord in all things reflected in… 2)Loving Marriages/Families/Relationships that leads to… 3)Relational Servant-leadership first in marriages and families and develops… 4)Generational Discipleship in personal life, family, The Church, and culture. As I wrote this book, we found ourselves in the middle of the first global pandemic in a century as well as political and social upheaval in the USA like we’ve not seen in the last half-century. To say the least, we are in trying times and our faith is being tested. I believe God is calling Christ’s Church to a spiritual awakening. That awakening is not just simply to do church services differently, serve more people and accommodate the culture, thinking we will reach more. It is a call... ➢For personal and collective confession and repentance of idolatry and compromise; ➢For believers to absolutely make Christ Lord of every part of your life; ➢For men to be Godly relational servant leaders, as husbands who love their marriage, spouse and family above their own success, glory and desires, just as Christ did for His Bride, The Church; ➢For marriages to be a positive testimony to the Gospel of Christ so the world will see and know Him; ➢To husbands and wives to submit to one another out of reverence for and submission to Christ as Lord; ➢To disciple our children in our homes and, in all of the above, to build loving relationships that strengthen Christ’s Church; ➢To move beyond drawing people into a weekly one-hour service or a couple hours of weekly activity to our communities or the world; ➢To disciples making disciples in loving relationships and holding each other accountable to obedience as we walk in His Love and Lordship; That call is the message of this book.
