Book Synopsis Pursuit of Christian Maturity by : A W Tozer
Download or read book Pursuit of Christian Maturity written by A W Tozer and published by . This book was released on 2024-08-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Seldom is a book published that reflects such bold independence of thought, such freedom from the fetters of tradition, and such complete objectivity in the study of the Scriptures. It is a book to be reckoned with by all serious students of the Bible."--from the Introduction by Dr. William W. Adams of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Internationally known among Bible scholars for his significant books in the field of biblical theology, Dr. Robert Shank here offers a penetrating study of all the pertinent New Testament Scriptures on the doctrine of perseverance. In doing so, he calls into question the popular doctrine of "eternal [unconditional] security."Are the proof passages used to support eternal security possibly misconstrued? Dr. Shank convincingly argues that the question confronting us is not, Is the believer secure? but rather, What does it mean to be a believer? If apostasy is an actual peril for every Christian, the Scriptural warning passages must be frankly accepted rather than interpreted into irrelevance or circumvented by theological hypothesis.
Book Synopsis Success and the Christian by : A. W. Tozer
Download or read book Success and the Christian written by A. W. Tozer and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2006-11-30 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Success and the Christian is a compilation of A.W. Tozer sermons on the subject matter of spiritual maturity—both its cost and criteria for the believer. The overall purpose of this collection is to "promote the personal heart religion"' among God's people, something Tozer consistently emphasized. Knowing God deeply and intimately brings purpose and meaning to life and should be the Christian's highest goal. So what holds us back from authentic spiritual success? A.W. Tozer contends that it is the excess baggage that most Christians carry that prevents them from going further with God. In this insightful and prophetic book, Tozer shows how we can recognize and clear away the stumbling blocks that keep us from a dynamic relationship with our Savior.
Book Synopsis The Pursuit of Holiness by : Jerry Bridges
Download or read book The Pursuit of Holiness written by Jerry Bridges and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2016 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition replaces both The Pursuit of Holiness (ISBN 9781576839324) and the study guide (ISBN 9781576839881) by combining both resources into one volume "Be holy, for I am holy," commands God. But holiness is something that is often missed in the Christian's daily life. According to Navigator author Jerry Bridges, that's because we're not exactly sure what our part in holiness is. In The Pursuit of Holiness, he helps us see clearly just what we should rely on God to do--and what we should take responsibility for ourselves.

Download or read book Philippians written by Gregory Brown and published by . This book was released on 2015-12-12 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How should we pursue spiritual maturity-becoming more like Christ? In Paul's epistle to the Philippians, one of the dominant themes is spiritual maturity. Throughout the epistle, he encourages them to pursue unity, to be faithful in suffering, to rejoice regardless of circumstances, to live as citizens of heaven, to have the mind of Christ, and to practice many other virtues-essentially calling them to be mature. Then, in chapter 3, he specifically exhorts them to imitate his pursuit of Christlikeness (v. 17). He describes himself as a banker counting everything loss to gain Christ (v. 8) and as a runner seeking to win the prize of knowing Christ (v. 12-14). As we study Philippians, it will inspire us to new heights of spiritual maturity. Let's study it together with the Bible Teacher's Guide. "Expositional, theological, and candidly practical! I highly recommend The Bible Teacher's Guide for anyone seeking to better understand or teach God's Word." -Dr. Young-Gil Kim, Founding President of Handong Global University "Helpful to both the laymen and the serious student, The Bible Teacher's Guide, by Dr. Greg Brown, is outstanding!" -Dr. Neal Weaver, President of Louisiana Baptist University "Whether you are preparing a Bible study, a sermon, or simply wanting to dive deeper into a personal study of God's Word, these will be very helpful tools." -Eddie Byun, Author of Justice Awakening
Book Synopsis Christianity Unbound by : Kevin Wm. M. Henley Sr.
Download or read book Christianity Unbound written by Kevin Wm. M. Henley Sr. and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-01-20 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maturity is not based on age but on attitude, life experiences, and expectations. Because of this there are adults who have no maturity; quite often they are the athletes and the celebrities of our society. Society is stunned by their pouting and random acts of immaturity, but it is only because they have not had the opportunity to mature in the face of living catered lives. And unless they are forced to do so, they will not mature. Society has given them this option; God does not give Christian men and women this same option. Gods mandate to Christian men and women is to lead lives that are in constant pursuit of spiritual maturity.

Book Synopsis From Here to Maturity by : Thomas E. Bergler
Download or read book From Here to Maturity written by Thomas E. Bergler and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2014-11-27 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expert guidance on how to grow up in Christ This book is a follow-up to Thomas Bergler’s acclaimed work The Juvenilization of American Christianity, which documents how church youth ministries over the past several decades have contributed to a process of adolescent spiritual traits becoming accepted and even celebrated by Christians of all ages. This “juvenilization” in the church is a real problem that must be addressed, says Bergler, and in his new book he addresses it head-on. Bergler’s From Here to Maturity is an accessible guide for helping both individuals and whole faith communities to grow spiritually. Bergler claims that spiritual maturity -- defined as “basic competence in the Christian life” -- is both desirable and attainable, and he effectively presents a biblical theology of spiritual maturity, identifying its traits from pertinent New Testament passages. Adapting Dallas Willard’s model of spiritual formation and applying it to congregational life, Bergler offers a wealth of practical, research-based guidance as to how Christian leaders can effectively foster spiritual maturity in their congregations. He also identifies six key faith-sustaining factors and provides a system for evaluating a church’s state of spiritual maturity and steps for improving it. Ecumenically friendly, From Here to Maturity will be useful to individuals and leaders from many different churches and theological traditions.
Book Synopsis The Pursuit of Holistic Holiness by : Daniel Spurgeon Tankersley
Download or read book The Pursuit of Holistic Holiness written by Daniel Spurgeon Tankersley and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greatest pursuit in life is holiness. Without holiness, “no one will see the Lord” (Heb. 12:14). Unfortunately, individuals, churches, even entire denominations often practice distorted spiritual formation. As a result, spiritual growth is hindered, personal witness is damaged, the Great Commission is inhibited, and God is dishonored. The solution to distorted spiritual formation is a holistic approach, centered on the Great Commandment. The Pursuit of Holistic Holiness provides a biblical theology of spiritual formation, identifies pitfalls of imbalanced spiritual growth, and offers practical solutions to help Christians recognize and overcome deficiencies in the transformation process. Whatever your spiritual maturity level, this book will facilitate your path forward. The pursuit of holistic holiness has the potential to spark a reformation in the Church!
Book Synopsis The Juvenilization of American Christianity by : Thomas Bergler
Download or read book The Juvenilization of American Christianity written by Thomas Bergler and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04-20 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pop worship music. Falling in love with Jesus. Mission trips. Wearing jeans and T-shirts to church. Spiritual searching and church hopping. Faith-based political activism. Seeker-sensitive outreach. These now-commonplace elements of American church life all began as innovative ways to reach young people, yet they have gradually become accepted as important parts of a spiritual ideal for all ages. What on earth has happened? In The Juvenilization of American Christianity Thomas Bergler traces the way in which, over seventy-five years, youth ministries have breathed new vitality into four major American church traditions -- African American, Evangelical, Mainline Protestant, and Roman Catholic. Bergler shows too how this "juvenilization" of churches has led to widespread spiritual immaturity, consumerism, and self-centeredness, popularizing a feel-good faith with neither intergenerational community nor theological literacy. Bergler s critique further offers constructive suggestions for taming juvenilization. Watch the trailer:
Book Synopsis The Pursuit of Excellence Developing Your Personal Ministry by : Bishop Leroy C. E. Newman
Download or read book The Pursuit of Excellence Developing Your Personal Ministry written by Bishop Leroy C. E. Newman and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about building Christian character and the development of ones personal ministries, which includes integrity, commitment, dedication, and devotion. It assures believers that God will never take them any place in their ministries where they are forced to retreat. Bishop Newman Ministry is one of the most important assignments our Savior has commissioned to the church. Each member has an assigned purpose or call for the cause of Christ. How seriously you take that calling will determine your level of maturity as a believer. My father and I have devoted this text to helping believers achieve spiritual maturity. Timothy Keller, in his book Ever Good Endeavor, says, A story begins when something knocks life off balance. Then the progresses, of the plot thickens, as the protagonists struggle to restore that balance and peace while antagonistic forces block and resist them. Finally, the story ends as the struggle results in either the restoration of balance or the failure to recover it. Thats a good story! As baptized believers, our lives have been knocked off balance by the wiles of the devil, and by grace, we are seeking restoration through the blood of Jesus, who was wounded for our transgression and bruised for our iniquities. Our strategy for restoration and development toward Christian maturity and Christlikeness must be based on our commitment, dedication, and devotion to the Will of God. Pastor Israel E. Newman
