Book Synopsis Will God or the World Define You? by : David Blanchard
Download or read book Will God or the World Define You? written by David Blanchard and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2023-11-09 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God’s story is the world’s true story and as part of that story He wants our hearts and affections directed toward Him. His story is infinite in significance, far reaching and deep in meaning, and more appealing than any individual story or stories that a person can craft on their own. Left to themselves without God, a person’s story involves falling away from Him and missing their true purpose. God’s story is a story of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration starring the greatest hero of all-time, Jesus Christ, and through Him it culminates with the family of God being rescued to live eternally with God in a restored, perfect, sinless world. As Christians we are grateful to be saved from that falling away, and to be living inside His story instead of one separated from Him. Not that our personal stories (encompassing our hopes, dreams, abilities, and loves) are insignificant to God. He loves us and is out for our good (Rom. 8:28). Our stories are important because He created us to have them, and they play a significant part in God’s larger story. But those stories are to be formed by, guided by, and lived out through the identity God intends for us.
Book Synopsis Who Do You Think You Are? by : Mark Driscoll
Download or read book Who Do You Think You Are? written by Mark Driscoll and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2013-01-07 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHO ARE YOU? WHAT DEFINES YOU? WHAT IS YOUR IDENTITY? How you answer those questions affects every aspect of your life: personal, public, and spiritual. So it’s vital to get the answer right. Pastor and best-selling author Mark Driscoll believes false identity is at the heart of many struggles—and that you can overcome them by having your true identity in Christ. In Who Do You Think You Are?, Driscoll explores the question, “What does it mean to be ‘in Christ’?” In the process he dissects the false-identity epidemic and, more important, provides the only solution—Jesus. “This book will give you an unshakeable, biblical understanding of who you are in Christ. When you know who you are, you’ll know what to do.” —Craig Groeschel, Senior Pastor of LifeChurch.tv and author of Soul Detox, Clean Living in a Contaminated World “I spent years in ministry for Christ without understanding my identity in Christ. I know now that I was not alone. When, by the grace of God, we understand who we are in Christ, everything else can crumble and we will still be standing. I highly commend this book to you.” —Sheila Walsh, speaker and author of God Loves Broken People

Book excerpt: New from Best-Selling Author John Piper From Genesis to Revelation, the providence of God directs the entire course of redemptive history. Providence is "God's purposeful sovereignty." Its extent reaches down to the flight of electrons, up to the movements of galaxies, and into the heart of man. Its nature is wise and just and good. And its goal is the Christ-exalting glorification of God through the gladness of a redeemed people in a new world. Drawing on a lifetime of theological reflection, biblical study, and practical ministry, pastor and author John Piper leads us on a stunning tour of the sightings of God's providence—from Genesis to Revelation—to discover the allencompassing reality of God's purposeful sovereignty over all of creation and all of history. Piper invites us to experience the profound effects of knowing the God of all-pervasive providence: the intensifying of true worship, the solidifying of wavering conviction, the strengthening of embattled faith, the toughening of joyful courage, and the advance of God's mission in this world.

Book Synopsis No More Faking Fine by : Esther Fleece Allen
Download or read book No More Faking Fine written by Esther Fleece Allen and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scripture reveals a God who meets us where we are, not where we pretend to be. No More Faking Fine is your invitation to get honest with God through the life-giving language of lament. If you've ever been given empty clichés during challenging times, you know how painful it is to be misunderstood by well-meaning people. When life hurts, we often feel pressure--from others and ourselves--to keep it together, suck it up, or pray it away. But Scripture reveals a God who lovingly invites us to give honest voice to our emotions when life hits hard. For most of her life, Esther Fleece Allen believed she could bypass the painful emotions of her broken past by shutting them down altogether. She was known as an achiever and an overcomer on the fast track to success. But in silencing her pain, she robbed herself of the opportunity to be healed. Maybe you've done the same. Esther's journey into healing began when she discovered that God has given us a real-world way to deal with raw emotions and an alternative to the coping mechanisms that end up causing more pain. It's called lament--the gut-level, honest prayer that God never ignores, never silences, and never wastes. No More Faking Fine is your permission to lament, taking you on a journey down the unexpected pathway to true intimacy with God. Drawing from careful biblical study and hard-won insight, Esther reveals how to use God's own language to come closer to him as he leads us through our pain to the light on the other side, teaching you that: We are robbing ourselves of a divine mystery and a divine intimacy when we pretend to have it all together God does not expect us to be perfect; instead, he meets us where we are There is hope beyond your heartache, disappointment, and grief Like Esther, you'll soon find that when one person stops faking fine, it gives everyone else permission to do the same.

Book Synopsis Cold-Case Christianity by : J. Warner Wallace
Download or read book Cold-Case Christianity written by J. Warner Wallace and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.
Book Synopsis The Beauty of the Lord by : Jonathan King
Download or read book The Beauty of the Lord written by Jonathan King and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is God's beauty often absent from our theology? Rarely do theologians take up the theme of God's beauty—even more rarely do they consider how God's beauty should shape the task of theology itself. But the psalmist says that the heart of the believer's desire is to behold the beauty of the Lord. In The Beauty of the Lord, Jonathan King restores aesthetics as not merely a valid lens for theological reflection, but an essential one. Jesus, our incarnate Redeemer, displays the Triune God's beauty in his actions and person, from creation to final consummation. How can and should theology better reflect this unveiled beauty? The Beauty of the Lord is a renewal of a truly aesthetic theology and a properly theological aesthetics.
Book Synopsis Give God The Praise by : Darrell Anthony Boone
Download or read book Give God The Praise written by Darrell Anthony Boone and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-07-28 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter Seven New and Improved God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. and there was evening, and there was morning--the sixth day. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. and God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. Genesis 2: 1-3Though you cannot know the totality of it, there are several conclusions you can draw from Scripture that give clues to understanding the Will of God:o God's Will is irrefutable. o God's Will is good. o God's Will is acceptable. o God's Will is perfect. o God's Will is already done. in order to gain insight into this you must follow the instructions of Jesus and look beyond the appearances to what is real. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is -- his good, pleasing and perfect will. - Romans 12:2To begin to discover what God's will for you is, let us go all the way back to the beginning. in Genesis the first chapter you find God busy preparing a place for you. On the First Day God created heaven & earth, and day & night (a unity of opposites which exists throughout all creation). in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. and God said, Let there be light, and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light day, and the darkness he called night. and there was evening, and there was morning--the first day. - Genesis 1: 1-5Light is wisdom; and the first day's work is the calling of light or wisdom into expression. Light represents intelligence, and darkness represents undeveloped capacity. Symbolically these are day and night. - Charles Fillmore, Mysteries of Genesis P.14On the Second Day God created the firmament, the expanse of sky, to separate the waters above (aspiration) from the waters below (desire). and God said, Let there be an expanse [firmament] between the waters to separate water from water. So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. and it was so. God called the expanse sky. and there was evening, and there was morning--the second day. - Genesis 1: 6-8The second step in creation is the development of faith or the firmament. the waters represent the un-established elements of the mind. ...unexpressed possibilities in mind. There must be a firm starting point or foundation established. This foundation or firmament is faith moving upon the unformed capacities of Spirit consciousness. the divine Logos--God as creative power--gives forth the edict Let there be a firmament. the first step or day in creation involves light or understanding, and the second step, faith in the knowing quality of mind. Mysteries of Genesis P.16 -17On the Third Day God divided the waters below into dry land and seas (the mineral kingdom) as a provision for the growth of the vegetable kingdom. and the land produced vegetation in bountiful supply, all with the means of reproducing and continuing the creation process. and God said, Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear. and it was so. God called the dry ground land, and the gathered waters he called seas. and God saw that it was good. Then God said, Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds. and it was so. the land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. and God saw that it was good. and there was evening, and there was morning--the third day.- Genesis 1: 9-13The third step in creation is the beginning of the formative activity of the mind called imagination. This gathers the waters . . . together unto one place so that the dry land appears. Then the imagination begins a great multiplication of forms and shapes in the mind. Mysteries of Genesis P.18On the Fourth Day God created the sun (the greater light) the moon (the lesser light) and the stars. Thus was provided a source of Light and energy. All of this in preparation for what is to come next. and God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth. and it was so. God made two great lights--the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. and God saw that it was good. and there was evening, and there was morning--the fourth day. - Genesis 1: 14-19The fourth step in creation is the development of the two great lights, the will and the understanding, or the sun (the spiritual I AM) and the moon (the intellect). These are but reflectors of the true light; for God had said, Let there be light: and there was light--before the sun and the moon were created. the firmament of heaven is the consciousness of Truth that has been formulated and established. Mysteries of Genesis P.19;On the Fifth Day the animal kingdom emerges as God calls forth the creatures of the sea and sky to feed upon the provisions of the sea and land. They too are blessed with all that is necessary to perpetuate creation as God commands them to be fruitful and multiply. and God said, Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky. So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. and God saw that it was good. God blessed them and said, Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth. and there was evening, and there was morning--the fifth day. - Genesis 1: 20-23The fifth step in creation is the bringing forth of sensation and discrimination. the creatures are thoughts. the birds . . . in the open firmament of heaven are ideas approaching spiritual understanding. Water represents the unformed substance of life, always present as a fecundating element in which ideas (living creatures) increase and multiply, just as the earth produces a crop when sown with seed. the birds represent the liberated thoughts or ideas of mind (heavens). Mysteries of Genesis P.22On the Sixth Day we see calling forth the creatures of the land to further develop the animal kingdom. and God said, Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind. and it was so. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. and God saw that it was good. Genesis 1: 24-25On the sixth day of creation ideas of life are set into activity. Cattle represent ideas of strength established in substance. Creeping things represent ideas of life that are more subtle in their expression, approaching closer to the realm of sense. They are the micro-organisms. the beasts stand for the free energies of life that relate themselves to sensation. Divine ideas are always instantly set into activity: and it was so. Mysteries of Genesis P.24Having created all of these things as a provision for God's final creati
