Book Synopsis Upon This Rock: A New Look by : Kenneth J. Morgan
Download or read book Upon This Rock: A New Look written by Kenneth J. Morgan and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012-12-26 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book is more than a mere academic exercise; it is the foundational work for that long awaited study in one of the most neglected areas of Systematic Theology: viz., Ecclesiology, the doctrine of the Church. Now that work will be a new possibility because of the work of Ken Morgan in this text.” —Dr. Walter C. Kaiser, Jr. This book presents a technical, exegetical study of these topics: “You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church.” “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.” “Whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” “If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained.” “Shepherd My sheep.” What is the relationship between Israel and the “church”? What does Paul’s metaphor of the olive tree in Romans 11 represent? Does Paul say in Ephesians 2 that Gentiles become “citizens” of Israel?

Deon "Rocky" Rockford is released after serving nearly twenty five years in jail. He may have been "saved" on the inside, but now that his term, originally a life sentence, has been overturned, and he's free from the shackles of the prayers of the men's ministry of the New Hope Church, he wants only to focus on himself. As fearless as he is strong, this big, brawny guy won many brawls behind bars, and feels ready to forge a new life in the infamous community of Shelton Heights. But he soon starts to see that the only "rock" he can count on is God.
Download or read book Upon This Rock written by David Marusek and published by Stack of Firewood Press, A. This book was released on 2017-06-29 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An epic new science fiction series about faith, family, and alien invasion in the wilds of Alaska. When a shooting star plunges through the atmosphere and touches down in the Alaska wilderness, only two earthlings are present to witness the event. But they perceive two utterly different realities. What park ranger Jace Kuliak sees is a UFO and the arrival of a dangerous alien species from beyond the solar system. What Poppy Prophecy sees is the star called Wormwood, as recorded in Scripture, and the arrival of an archangel of the Apocalypse. The thing is -- they're both sorta right. Poppy Prophecy is the despotic patriarch of a large End-Times prepper family that is busily converting a depleted copper mine into its own private doomsday bunker. Their copper mine is a century-old relic from territorial days when East Coast robber barons ruled Alaska and plundered its mineral wealth. Today the abandoned mine sits in the middle of the largest, wildest, most majestic national park in the United States. But Poppy isn't impressed by mere earthly beauty, and he doesn't mind bulldozing federal land when it suits his purposes. Backcountry Ranger Jace Kuliak does mind, and he and fellow rangers confront the fundamentalist family in an armed standoff over the construction of an illegal airstrip. It doesn't help matters when Ranger Kuliak falls hopelessly in love with Poppy's second daughter, the lovely, innocent, and totally clueless Deuteronomy. An uneasy truce between the Prophecys and the park service is shattered when the falling star lands in their backyard and is claimed by both sides. What is it? Who is it? Better yet, of all the pit stops on all the planets in all the galaxies, why did the Visitor choose this particular rock to screw with?

Download or read book On This Rock written by E. A. Judge and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The command of the risen Christ was to make students of all nations: “On this Rock I will build . . .” But the spread of the Pentecostal gospel disrupted the national values of eternal Rome, with her increasingly international citizenship. Loyalty to the Caesars, obligatory in the Roman world, could not break the Christians’ trust in their Christ. In despair the government gave in to the unimaginable: Galerius tolerated the Christian “alternative communities” and their divergent outlook on life. One must now tolerate living in two incommensurate communities at once. This is at the heart of Late Antiquity. The Rock remains, but masked in the antique ceremonial of “religion.” That late antique compromise has laid the foundation for the interaction of church and state in the modern West. Successor to Paul and the Conflict of Cultures (2019), this seventh collection of Judge’s historical essays explores the development of Christianity in Roman society from the New Testament era to the time of Constantine and beyond—always with a view to the modern situation.

Book excerpt: A recent conference at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary featured speakers addressing topics set forth in the article on “The Church” in the Southern Baptist Convention’s Baptist Faith and Message statement. Upon This Rock gathers those presentations and answers such questions as: • What is the basis for our denominational distinctives? • Are they merely a collection of “faded traditions” or true doctrinal necessities rooted in the Bible alone? • Are they theologically rich cornerstones of faith that easily transcend time, culture, and preference?

Book excerpt: The world's most secret society has been hidden behind the walls of Vatican City for twenty centuries. And even though he'd been working in the Vatican archives for ten years Father Joshua Cole had never heard of it, until he was invited to become a member. Over twenty years later his decision would come back to haunt him and throw him into a world of political intrigue and the age old battle between the Catholic Church and Freemasonry. A battle that began a thousand years ago when the Knights Templar discovered something in Jerusalem that would shake the Church to its core and finally come to a shocking end in a small New England town.
Download or read book Upon This Rock written by Rosie Rivera and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2014-09-26 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many new believers struggle due to a lack of teaching. The Bible states that we as baby Christians should desire the sincere milk of the Word that we might grow by it. Many people get born again and go back into the old lifestyle because they have no root in the Word and their foundation is weak. I would like to see every new believer become established and grounded in the Word so that they have a firm foundation that cannot be moved. Tests and trials come to each of us, and whether we stand or fall depends on the type of foundation our lives are built upon. The more we understand the Word, the stronger our foundation becomes. God desires that we take His written Word and His revealed Word and apply them to our daily lives. This book is intended to inspire new believers to go after God, to get to know Him, and to love the Word. There is no greater joy than knowing the one who came and gave His life that we might live.
Book Synopsis Upon This Rock by : Robert Lewis Fossett
Download or read book Upon This Rock written by Robert Lewis Fossett and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-06-19 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly thirty years ago, George Lindbeck wrote his seminal and highly influential work The Nature of Doctrine. Since that time, there has been no serious attempt at moving beyond the problems he lays out, in particular the problem of foundationalism. Upon This Rock is not merely a response to George Lindbeck's important work; it is an attempt to show how theology and religious discourse can truly move past the particular problems posed by foundationalism--the assumption of and search for so-called objective and universal standards--by looking at just one important discussion within the field: the modern discussion on the nature and function of doctrine. Upon This Rock offers an account of doctrine--an account that includes such topics as the authority of Scripture, biblical interpretation, and the role of the Church and the nature of her doctrine, among others--that moves the Church past the problems of foundationalism and back to her one true rock: Jesus Christ, her Lord.
Download or read book Upon This Rock written by David Perry and published by Linden Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intrigue, terrorism, history, art, and the secrets of the Church collide in a relentless page-turning thriller "An elegant, twisty thriller in which a gay couple investigates a mysterious suicide in a scenic Italian hill town. It's not hard to imagine that this book could do for Orvieto what Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil did for Savannah." (Armistead Maupin, author of the internationally acclaimed Tales of the City) An American couple in Italy investigate the suicide of a cleric in the picturesque Italian city of Orvieto—and find themselves plunged into a conspiracy that may destroy the Catholic Church. In the stunning thriller Upon This Rock, San Francisco business executive Lee Maury and his husband Adriano come to Orvieto to soak in the city's beauty and rich history, but Lee becomes fascinated with a local tragedy, the suicide one year earlier of Deacon Andrea, a much-loved candidate for the priesthood. Growing obsessed with learning the truth behind Andrea's death, Lee and Adriano stumble upon a conspiracy of terrorism, human trafficking, and a plot to destroy one of the Church's most sacred shrines—all somehow linked across 500 years to Renaissance Pope Clement VII, who escaped to Orvieto after the sack of Rome in 1527. Before they know it, Lee and Adriano's dream vacation becomes a race to save innocent lives—and not get killed in the process.

Book Synopsis Upon This Rock...My Church by : Eddie Dean Sumbler
Download or read book Upon This Rock...My Church written by Eddie Dean Sumbler and published by Westview Publishing Co., Inc.. This book was released on 2005 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book Upon this Rock, My church is the first in a series of writings which will introduce and stimulate more dialogue concerning the biblical support and validity for a framework for the Multicultural Christian Church, emerging from GOD's Word. This book highlights the Multicultural Christian Church (aMCC) infrastructure in the early Church. The concept name a Multicultural Christian Church (aMCC) is definitively scriptural. The purpose for veiling the framework concept in scripture until now is crucial, yet simple. In His Alpha and Omega Wisdom, the FATHER knew that HE would bountifully bless HIS church and form it to be on earth as it is in Heaven. That has always been the intended design. But, the sin of covetousness, greed, and weak leadership has caused alarming moral decay, disconnection and dissension in the body. Today, in the new millennial era, the need for refocus and a Next-Level course of action for Christian churches, beyond denominational quagmire, is apparent. These writings will show Christian Churches everywhere how to move beyond denominational stagnation and squabbles. It will show them how to stand in unison as blessed, unique, contributing parts of the Body of Christ as they speak afresh, in one united voice, as the Kingdom of God on earth as in Heaven. As it was in the beginning, so shall the common cord of Christ be revealed in all things, especially the building of His Church.
Download or read book UPON THIS ROCK written by John Hibbert and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-11-19 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thrilling account of the life of Simon Peter takes the reader on a journey from the beautiful tranquil setting of Lake Galilee to the debauchery and violence of ancient Rome. It traces the life of the one Jesus called “The Rock” from his escape from a condemned cell, through his years of service for Christ, to his bloody execution by Emperor Nero. John Hibbert has succeeded in exposing the heart and character of a man who betrayed his friend through cowardice, yet recovered to make amends and become a fearless and powerful foundation for the building of the universal church. You will experience the power of faith as he walks with his Lord on the stormy waves of the Galilee and weep with him in the back streets of Jerusalem. You will sink with him beneath the cold waters of suicidal despair, but feel the warmth of the subsequent forgiveness that he received from his Lord. Read this book and you will fall in love with a man who had a flawed character like the rest of us, but who rose above his weaknesses and failings to become a passionate fisher of the souls of men and the most influential name in church history.
