Book Synopsis Missing More Than Music by : Danny Corbitt
Download or read book Missing More Than Music written by Danny Corbitt and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008-11-04 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We're missing out ... on hearing one another’s songs, on worship in our daily lives, on passion in our praise, on the dance of David, on fellowship with Christians who disagree, on sharing testimony of God’s work in our assemblies, on agreeing together, and more. In the Churches of Christ, some begin to broaden their experience in praise, wishing they could answer the questions of those who feel left behind. "Missing More than Music" understands why we look at the same evidence and disagree. There is hope for worship and unity. We're missing more than music. Let's have all that we've been missing ... together.
Book Synopsis A Cappella Music in the Public Worship of the Church by : Everett Ferguson
Download or read book A Cappella Music in the Public Worship of the Church written by Everett Ferguson and published by Victor Vadney. This book was released on 2013 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book employs a methodology that I have found helpful in dealing with other topics. This procedure is to assemble the New Testament texts on the topic and interpret them, then check this interpretation against usage in early Christian literature outside the New Testament, and finally to examine the doctrinal considerations to determine if the interpretation rests on solid biblical theology. Rather than gathering quotations from secondary literature, my approach is to read the source documents in the original and present the texts in their context. At the time of first edition of the book, mine was the fullest collection of historical statements on early church music readily available. Other studies since that time are largely supportive of the historical facts presented in my work, even if the authors do not consider the evidence normative for today. My conclusion is that the practice of unaccompanied congregational singing rests on good biblical, historical and doctrinal grounds.
Book Synopsis All People, All Times by : Jeffery S. Stevenson
Download or read book All People, All Times written by Jeffery S. Stevenson and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All People, All Times: Rethinking Biblical Authority in Churches of Christ explores the assumptions traditionally held in a cappella Churches of Christ regarding how one knows what in Scripture is binding on all people at all times. The development of the tripartite model for determining Bible authority (i.e., command, example and implication) is examined and critiqued. While many in Churches of Christ advocate abandoning the model altogether, others refuse to see its limitations in a postmodern culture. All People, All Times offers a hermeneutical approach (The Transformational Restoration Hermeneutic or TRH) that sharpens the tripartite method by providing a biblically based grid to more accurately discern Scripture's emphases. As well, it introduces a sorely needed means for the formational use of Scripture. In short, the TRH recognizes not only the need to take Scripture seriously when it speaks authoritatively regarding external or doctrinal necessities, but also when it speaks to the spiritual, moral and relational priorities stressed in our postmodern era. It is hoped the TRH can provide a hermeneutical bridge between the widening streams of a fellowship historically devoted to speaking where the Bible speaks. For the last 18 of his 32 years in preaching, Jeffery S. Stevenson has served as the Preaching Minister for the Church of Christ at Louisville, Ohio and the Director of Second Wind Christian Counseling Ministries. Jeff holds degrees from Freed-Hardeman University (Bible), the University of Akron (Marriage and Family Therapy) and a Doctorate from Ashland (Ohio) Theological Seminary. Jeff has written on topics such as hermeneutics and biblical application in the Restoration Movement, evangelism and Christian counseling. He has published articles in the Gospel Advocate, Christian Standard and Restoration Quarterly. Jeff and his wife Tonnie have three grown daughters-Micah, Meghann and Mallory. Jeff's likes reading, walking, cycling and model railroading.
Book Synopsis Same God, Different Churches by : Katie Meier
Download or read book Same God, Different Churches written by Katie Meier and published by Tommy Nelson. This book was released on 2005-09-04 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Church is church, right? Well, not so much, as any Baptist teen will find when visiting a friend's Episcopal church, or any Lutheran visitor to a Pentecostal service will discover. So what's the difference? Why are there any differences at all? Though churches are as individual as the members they serve, Katie Meier clears up some of the confusion regarding the basic Christian denominations. Written for everyday teens (rather than, say, theology majors) this guide clearly spells out the unique qualities of each sect, while at the same time underlines the unifying principles of Christian faith. Practically, it takes the scare out of accompanying a friend to a different church; but even better, and maybe more importantly, it inspires a greater understanding of and love for fellow Christians.

Book Synopsis Restoring the Restoration Movement by : N. R. Kehn
Download or read book Restoring the Restoration Movement written by N. R. Kehn and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Churches of Christ and Christian Churches comprise two of the principle fellowships to evolve from the American Restoration Movement-a movement fueled by the desire to abolish denominational borders and boundaries that have long divided the Christian community in hopes of building a brotherhood inclusive of all genuine followers of Jesus Christ. Nearly two centuries later, however, many within these two fellowships have abandoned the work of restoration and the hope of a united Christian fellowship. In Restoring the Restoration Movement, authors N.R. Kehn and Scott Bayles, with clever insight and a conversational tone, take a look "under the hood" at many of the doctrines that have divided the Churches of Christ and Christian Churches from each other and from mainstream evangelical Christianity in general-all in hopes of returning to the on-going work of restoration and to the original ideals of the Restoration Movement and true Biblical Christianity. N.R. Kehn has been a longtime member of Churches of Christ. With a secular degree in Network Administration and ongoing education in Software Engineering, Nathan combines impeccable logic with diligent Bible study. He currently serves in various capacities at the Florissant Church of Christ in Saint Louis, MO, where he also resides with his two sons, Nathan II and D.W. Scott Bayles is a graduate of Freed-Hardeman University and has preached for numerous Churches of Christ within the United States and abroad. He is also the author of The Greatest Commands: Learning to Love like Jesus. Currently, he serves as the preaching minister for First Christian Church of Rosiclare, IL, where he lives with his wife and two children.

Book Synopsis Affirmation between the Cathar Brethren Christian Church and Knights Templar by : Reverend Rickard Alliman MBA
Download or read book Affirmation between the Cathar Brethren Christian Church and Knights Templar written by Reverend Rickard Alliman MBA and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-07-22 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Perfecti "Elect," (Christian Pacifist) and the French Knights Templar (Warrior Protector) This is a fascinating historic research story and "church perpetuity" analysis of a centuries old intellectual spiritual rebellion through many centuries of devastating persecution, against incredible odds -- all the while full of bravery and loyalty unto Christ Jesus. Proceeded with ties to the Jewish "Order of the Nazarene" brethren, this is the history of Christianity since the time of Christ - being of the original "Holy Church of God" established at Pentecost (AD 33). Then after going through centuries of devastating persecution and scenarios of horrific slaughter, both sects was forced to go underground for safety until emerging 1,000 years later, joining forces with the Knights Templar. This is the true Christian church sect that re-emerged from the "Holy Church of God" through an apostolic succession "church perpetuity" being the Cathar Brethren Christian Church prior to the said Radical Reformation movement of free churches in Europe. What followed through "church perpetuity" was the Anabaptist church sect followed by the Hutterites, Mennonite, Amish and the more recent Restoration Movement "" Church of Christ. These listed church sects in Europe were as well horrifically persecuted and became those puritans along with remnants of Knights Templar that immigrated to the Americas. Later next came the more recent Restoration Movement being the Church of Christ. In a prophesy being given by Saint Augustus, he said during the "End of Days" the "Holy Church of God" will re-emerge as the "Elect" saints when Christ Jesus returns in his glory! Analysis presented is of the greatest minds, brilliant intellects, inventors, writers, scientist, Christ apostles, saints, evangelist, martyrs, warrior protectors, and artist in history such as King David, Apostle Paul, Saint Augustine, Friar Roger Bacon, Cathar Christian Puritan John of Lugio, Sir Isaac Newton, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Dr. Albert Einstein, Dr. Ivan Panin, etc. - and most of all - through all this discourse is that of Christ Jesus. You will never be able to read your Bible the same again!

Book Synopsis Pagan Christianity? by : Frank Viola
Download or read book Pagan Christianity? written by Frank Viola and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered why we Christians do what we do for church every Sunday morning? Why do we “dress up” for church? Why does the pastor preach a sermon each week? Why do we have pews, steeples, and choirs? This ground-breaking book, now in affordable softcover, makes an unsettling proposal: most of what Christians do in present-day churches is rooted, not in the New Testament, but in pagan culture and rituals developed long after the death of the apostles. Coauthors Frank Viola and George Barna support their thesis with compelling historical evidence and extensive footnotes that document the origins of modern Christian church practices. In the process, the authors uncover the problems that emerge when the church functions more like a business organization than the living organism it was created to be. As you reconsider Christ's revolutionary plan for his church—to be the head of a fully functioning body in which all believers play an active role—you'll be challenged to decide whether you can ever do church the same way again.

Book Synopsis Music in Worship by : Thomas Craig Alexander
Download or read book Music in Worship written by Thomas Craig Alexander and published by . This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does the Bible justify instrumental music for Christian worship?In 2006, advocates for the use of instrumental music in worship presented a three-part series titled "The Both/And Church," suggesting that people should read old texts in fresh, new ways. These advocates proposed that their understanding of biblical texts justifies instruments in church worship. Since that time, some churches have followed their lead.Ironically, this misreading of the relevant biblical texts is not new. The arguments made by these proponents are the arguments that have been made since the late 1800s among advocates of instrumental music in worship.Thomas Alexander answers these "new" arguments in a caring, biblical way in Music in Worship. He carefully evaluates each of the reasons given by "both/and church" proponents and shows that the facts about what God wants in worship have not changed - human attitudes have.

Book Synopsis Religions of the World [6 volumes] by : J. Gordon Melton
Download or read book Religions of the World [6 volumes] written by J. Gordon Melton and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-09-21 with total page 3788 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This masterful six-volume encyclopedia provides comprehensive, global coverage of religion, emphasizing larger religious communities without neglecting the world's smaller religious outposts. Religions of the World, Second Edition: A Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Beliefs and Practices is an extraordinary work, bringing together the scholarship of some 225 experts from around the globe. The encyclopedia's six volumes offer entries on every country of the world, with particular emphasis on the larger nations, as well as Indonesia and the Latin American countries that are traditionally given little attention in English-language reference works. Entries include profiles on religion in the world's smallest countries (the Vatican and San Marino), profiles on religion in recently established or disputed countries (Kosovo and Nagorno-Karabakh), as well as profiles on religion in some of the world's most remote places (Antarctica and Easter Island). Religions of the World is unique in that it is based in religion "on the ground," tracing the development of each of the 16 major world religious traditions through its institutional expressions in the modern world, its major geographical sites, and its major celebrations. Unlike other works, the encyclopedia also covers the world of religious unbelief as expressed in atheism, humanism, and other traditions.
Book Synopsis The Kentucky Encyclopedia by : John E. Kleber
Download or read book The Kentucky Encyclopedia written by John E. Kleber and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 1082 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kentucky Encyclopedia's 2,000-plus entries are the work of more than five hundred writers. Their subjects reflect all areas of the commonwealth and span the time from prehistoric settlement to today's headlines, recording Kentuckians' achievements in art, architecture, business, education, politics, religion, science, and sports. Biographical sketches portray all of Kentucky's governors and U.S. senators, as well as note congressmen and state and local politicians. Kentucky's impact on the national scene is registered in the lives of such figures as Carry Nation, Henry Clay, Louis Brandeis, and Alben Barkley. The commonwealth's high range from writers Harriette Arnow and Jesse Stuart, reformers Laura Clay and Mary Breckinridge, and civil rights leaders Whitney Young, Jr., and Georgia Powers, to sports figures Muhammad Ali and Adolph Rupp and entertainers Loretta Lynn, Merle Travis, and the Everly Brothers. Entries describe each county and county seat and each community with a population above 2,500. Broad overview articles examine such topics as agriculture, segregation, transportation, literature, and folklife. Frequently misunderstood aspects of Kentucky's history and culture are clarified and popular misconceptions corrected. The facts on such subjects as mint juleps, Fort Knox, Boone's coonskin cap, the Kentucky hot brown, and Morgan's Raiders will settle many an argument. For both the researcher and the more casual reader, this collection of facts and fancies about Kentucky and Kentuckians will be an invaluable resource.
