Book Synopsis Where Have All the Shepherds Gone? by : Jay Leach
Download or read book Where Have All the Shepherds Gone? written by Jay Leach and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-04 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul calls the Galatian Christians foolish! Having begun in the Spirit, are now being perfected by the flesh (see Galatians 3:1-3). Legalism and religion do not trust in the finished work of Christ and the efficacy of His blood to produce His intended results. Therefore, they always appeal to the flesh, teaching to control people through behavior modification, which make those pastors who yield to this model, not shepherds per se, but mere sin managers. The only force capable of restoring America’s local Churches in whatever areas need restoring is the Spirit of God animating the Word of God rightly divided, preached, and taught defining and biblically shaping and motivating the spiritual life of the body of Christ.

Book Synopsis Where Have All the Men Gone by : Charlie Anderson
Download or read book Where Have All the Men Gone written by Charlie Anderson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-02-04 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have found that there a so many issues that need to be addressed in the Church today. Not just in the Methodist church but in all Christian churches. I have realized that one need is to get Men back into church. Most congregations will have from 60% to 75% of Sunday service consisting of woman. We used to have congregations that were made up of at least half men. Why have they left and where did they go? I have tried to address this issue in this book. We have got to make church more friendly and comfortable for men. Many men feel that the Church has become feminine. Think about your church for a minute. What impression will a 25 year old construction worker have when he inters your church for the first time? Do the men in your church welcome first time men visitors? Are there activities in your church that this 25 year old construction worker can get involved in? There are many questions that need to be answered by us in our quest to regain the male presence that has become a missing part of our church today. I hope that this book will get some of you to try to answer these questions and start on the path to returning men back to Church. It will certainly make our churches stronger.

Book Synopsis Believe what You Read by : Michael E. Bulson
Download or read book Believe what You Read written by Michael E. Bulson and published by Paulist Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Believe what you read" are the first words used in the presentation of the Book of the Gospels to a newly ordained deacon by his bishop. In keeping with this spirit, Michael E. Bulson presents this collection of "timeless homilies for deacons." Deacon Bulson always roots the homilies in scripture readings, supplemented by such diverse sources as Kathleen Norris, St. Thomas Aquinas, Anthony de Mello, Karl Rahner, St. Augustine, Henri Nouwen, the movie Schindler's List, and many others. The result is a homiletic resource for deacons that is "ever ancient, ever new" in the words of Augustine-a bishop who had a particular love and admiration for his deacons. Book jacket.
Book Synopsis Redefining Leadership by : Joseph M. Stowell
Download or read book Redefining Leadership written by Joseph M. Stowell and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2014-04-22 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is successful leadership measured simply by the outcomes a leader achieves, or is there another—more essential—yardstick for measuring success? In Redefining Leadership, author, pastor, and college president Joe Stowell shows us that the best leaders are driven by Christ-formed character, and that truly successful leadership is not defined by the standards of this world but by the counter-intuitive practices and perspectives of the Kingdom of Christ. With compelling personal stories and insights from the Bible, he highlights the contrast between these two radically different leadership styles and demonstrates that the teaching and example of King Jesus, the world’s most unlikely leader, is the only model of leadership that leads to maximum results, results that will have an eternal impact.
Download or read book Plato's Statesman written by John Sallis and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2016-11-28 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores the interplay between the dramatic form of the dialogue and the basic themes it addresses. The Statesman is among the most widely ranging of Platos dialogues, bringing together in a single discourse disparate subjects such as politics, mathematics, ontology, dialectic, and myth. The essays in this collection consider these subjects and others, focusing in particular on the dramatic form of the dialogue. They take into account not only what is said but also how it is said, by whom and to whom it is said, and when and where it is said. In this way, the contributors approach the text in a manner that responds to the dialogue itself rather than bringing preconceived questions and scholarly debates to bear on it. The essays are especially attuned to the comedic elements that run through much of the dialogue and that are played out in a way that reveals the subject of the comedy. In the Statesman, these comedies reach their climax when the statesman becomes a participant in a comedy of animals and thereby is revealed in his true nature. .
Download or read book IT IS FINISHED written by Jay Leach and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2024-08-21 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “DON’T BE MISLED” Through social media and other sources many people place their faith in a false gospel and still identify themselves as Christians. The Christian Biblical Worldview has been rejected. Learn here, how Christians can not only see that, but must counter it with the truth of God’s Word! Throughout the book, we’ll come back to the simple principle – that true gospel clarity is the antidote to the rampart confusion of the so-called “new worldview.” The Gospel of Jesus Christ, shows that God makes demands, meet them in Christ, and then calls people to trust in and follow Him. God has made clear in His Word that He has only one answer for every human need – His Son, Jesus Christ, who died [shed His blood] instead of us for our forgiveness, and He lives His life within us by the Holy Spirit; which He has given to us for our deliverance.
Book Synopsis The Way of Light by : Frederick Mundle
Download or read book The Way of Light written by Frederick Mundle and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-05-19 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE WAY OF LIGHT: The Way of Light focuses on the true Light (John 1:9) of the world (John 9:5) who came to enlighten every man to take him/her out of darkness (John 8:12). Any who do come to believe in the Light (Jesus) become sons and daughters of the Light, in fact children of the Light (1 Thessalonians 5:5). They will become Light bearers and shine as light in the world (Philippians 2:15). On numerous occasions within the context of these essays, the reader will encounter absolute truths regarding His being the Light. Readers will encounter various Scriptures which will testify to the claims Jesus made regarding His being the Saviour of the world. Most essays contain a minimum of 400 words, although some will be longer in length. Each essay will point the way to the Light (Jesus) in countless examples throughout the course of the book. For those who already follow the way of the Light (Jesus), they will discover examples as to how to share the Light (Jesus) with friends, family, relatives and associates. The Scripture states that none can come to Jesus unless the Father draws him/her (John 6:44) and that to be drawn into believing (faith) comes by the word of God (Romans 10:17). Many events point to a soon return of Jesus Christ who is the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6). THE WAY OF LIGHT in each of its individual compositions will point the reader to the true Way of Light.
Book Synopsis The Way of the Platonic Socrates by : S. Montgomery Ewegen
Download or read book The Way of the Platonic Socrates written by S. Montgomery Ewegen and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This extraordinary new work” by the philosopher and author of Plato’s Cratylus “has given us nothing less than a radically new Socrates” (Michael Naas, author of Plato and the Invention of Life). Who is Socrates? While most readers know him as the central figure in Plato’s work, he is hard to characterize. In this book, S. Montgomery Ewegen opens this long-standing and difficult question once again. Reading Socrates against a number of Platonic texts, Ewegen sets out to understand the way of Socrates. Looking closely at the Socrates that emerges from the dramatic and philosophical contexts of Plato’s works, Ewegen considers questions of withdrawal, retreat, powerlessness, poverty, concealment, and release and how they construct a new view of this powerful but strange and uncanny figure. Ewegen’s withdrawn Socrates forever evades rigid interpretation and must instead remain a deep and insoluble question.

Download or read book Out of Babylon written by Jay Leach and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2023-03-13 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE UNHEALTHY CHURCH CULTURE Many believers are distraught concerning what they witness going on in their local Black churches today. Ezekiel experienced similar conditions in Israel in his day. The Scripture says, the Israelites were still living in sin and trusting in their own righteousness. God told Ezekiel, “And they come to you as people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear what you say, but they will not do it, for with lustful talk in their mouths they act; their heart is set on gain. And behold, you are to them like one who sings lustful songs with a beautiful voice plays well on an instrument, for they hear what you say, but they will not do it.” (Ezekiel 33:31-32 ESV). The exiles had claimed to go to the prophet to receive God’s revelation, but their behavior was not in compliance with their stated beliefs and values. Their true desire was for entertainment – but not for divine enlightenment. If the fall of Jerusalem failed to spiritually awaken them, nothing would. Yet it would open their eyes to the divine truth of Ezekiel’s preaching! As the church, we must call all cultures along with ourselves in every generation to the rule that judges all other rules – the rule of faith, the Holy Bible! Hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
Download or read book Living Grace (24/7) written by Jay Leach and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2023-08-13 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has often been expressed that the primary leadership of the Reformation [Restoration] did not go far enough in their restoration of the New Testament Church. Martin Luther got it right on how we are saved [justification]. “The just shall live by faith” (Galatians 3:11), was one of the revelatory truths of God’s Word that rallied the Reformers. We praise God for the reformer John Wycliffe who believed that the people should be able to read the Bible in their own language; and by the grace of God, he worked hard to get the truth of God’s Word into the hands and hearts of the masses. That is an on-going mission which must be repeated in each new generation. Notice, within a half century after the Reformation began the church was in crisis, because it misunderstood that justification or salvation is of God by grace through faith alone – the believers who came out of the Medieval or Dark Ages were taught that sanctification [spiritual maturity] was accomplished through works of the flesh. They were constantly reminded how much their relationship with God depended on their works. The sad news is many local churches continue to practice this pre-Reformation church model of ministry to this day. That theological error has come full circle today. The results are witnessed in every city, town and village of America as citizens, who have chosen to no longer believe God is relevant, but that He no longer loves and cares, that He created the world and left it to feign for itself (Deism). Add to that the many local churches that rely upon legalism, performance of the flesh, and feelings (entertainment), rather than upon God’s grace alone through the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit and Word of God working in tandem. The Spirit leads, guides, and teaches the restored truths of the Gospel of Grace. Teachers were raised up during the Reformation to help Christians know what they believed and why they believed it. Today, God is continuing to meet that need by raising up desperately needed Spiritually-gifted and bold apologetic teachers for that very purpose in these last days (see 2 Timothy 2:2). The Bread of Life Ministries and Bible Institute along with thousands of Para ministries across America and around the world are established and Spirit-led for “such a time as this.” Magdalene and I were led of the Spirit to establish the Bread of Life Ministries 25 years ago specifically to equip the saints (disciples) for that purpose. If the churches would return to their Christ-given mission, biblical world view and teaching ministries, millions would be saved, disciple and brought into the kingdom of God with the continued commitment to do the same!
Book Synopsis The Christmas Stories by : Ted Field
Download or read book The Christmas Stories written by Ted Field and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christmas is our most beloved holiday. No other holiday is so richly decorated, seasoned by joy, and trumpeted with music. It is so big it must be celebrated in a variety of traditions. The Christmas Stories is a collection of twenty pieces that explore these traditions, sometimes with humor. The stories were written and read aloud by the author, one each year, at an annual advent worship service at St Stephen Lutheran Church in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, to not only entertain but to inspire readers and listeners to find their own Christmas stories to share. The stories in The Christmas Stories are a mix of fact and fiction but, regardless, address certain truths about Christmas we never question. For example, we know that every year we go home for Christmas, even if its just a journey of the heart, and that children agonize having to wait one slow day at a time for Christmas to arrive, while adults embrace the wait and even give it a name, advent. And that even secularists celebrate the holiday as the highest altar of peace, love, and joy. The Christmas Stories is meant not only to entertain but to inspire readers to find their own stories to share about this most beloved season.
Book Synopsis WHEN GOD’S COMMAND BECOMES A QUESTION by : Jay Leach
Download or read book WHEN GOD’S COMMAND BECOMES A QUESTION written by Jay Leach and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2024-03-14 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IGNORANCE OF GOD’S TRUTH IS NO EXCUSE! We are to glorify God and love Him with all our heart, soul and mind; and love our neighbors as ourselves. As believers, we are to be conduits for the flow of God’s love to other human beings. However, the Christian Community is greatly hindered corporately and individually because of self-love, individualism, spiritual and biblical ignorance. Many Christians look at the truths of God’s Word in an attitude of utter defeat and unbelief. God said this work would be done through us empowered by the Holy Spirit. We can trust Him to complete His work in us because He has promised it (see Philippians 1:6). God repeatedly assures us of His promised provisions for us, and of His consistent undying love for us. Why not fully—yield yourself to Him today!
