Book Description
Excerpt from Charles M. Alexander: A Romance of Song and Soul-Winning Being as real as Himself, and warned of his ability to destroy both body and soul in hell, Alexander neither scoffed, nor minimized the danger, but devoted his life to the saving of his fellow-men by pointing them to the Saviour, and urged every Chris tian to do the same. Speaking to a group of men who had taken their stand for Christ in Dundee, Scotland, in 1903, he said, Be a soul -winner if you are never anything else. You will find very few who want to shine in winning souls all the time. You have a chance here to distinguish yourselves. Another thing he constantly reiterated was, The last thing the devil will let you do is to win a soul definitely to Christ. If you don' t believe it, try it. He will let you never miss a prayer meeting, or a Sunday morning service; he will even let you get up and lecture on religious subjects, and do all sorts of religious deeds, if you will just st0p short at one thing, and that is to get face to face with individuals, to bring them to a decision for Jesus Christ, and get them to confess Him Openly before the world. I used to get up on the platform and lead the singing without doing personal work, but I knew down in the bottom of my heart that I was using my arms too much, and my tongue too little. Often, when people are ill, it is only the pressure on some nerve which is ruining the whole body. You cannot be a sane, healthy Christian unless you are trying to Win souls. It is sanity itself. People who go off on a tangent often do so because they Shut themselves up in their studies, and forget to go right down by the side of men and win them to God When I first went to London I called on W. T. Stead, the great interviewer. 'l have always wondered how iri the world you interviewed people, ' I said to him. Start on me, I want to see how you do it.' Mr. Stead turned round suddenly, and fixing his searching eyes upon me, asked, What are you in London for? It made me shake all over, but I have never forgotten it. What are you living for? I will tell you what you ought to be living for - to win people definitt to Jesus Christ. Some of you say, Well, I try to do it by my life.' So far as I have seen, the life of most people is largely made up of talking, isn't that right 1 I believe that the last thing you are willing to give to God is your tongue.

Servanthood of Song
Author: Stanley R. McDaniel
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666755931
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 837
Book Description
Servanthood of Song is a history of American church music from the colonial era to the present. Its focus is on the institutional and societal pressures that have shaped church song and have led us directly to where we are today. The gulf which separates advocates of traditional and contemporary worship—Black and White, Protestant and Catholic—is not new. History repeatedly shows us that ministry, to be effective, must meet the needs of the entire worshiping community, not just one segment, age group, or class. Servanthood of Song provides a historical context for trends in contemporary worship in the United States and suggests that the current polemical divisions between advocates of contemporary and traditional, classically oriented church music are both unnecessary and counterproductive. It also draws from history to show that, to be the powerful component of worship it can be, music—whatever the genre—must be viewed as a ministry with training appropriate to that. Servanthood of Song provides a critical resource for anyone considering a career in either musical or pastoral ministries in the American church as well as all who care passionately about vital and authentic worship for the church of today.

Master Painter
Author: Jack R. Lundbom
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1725235501
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
Millions of people recognize the religious painting know as Head of Christ, of which an estimated five hundred million prints have been sold. Very few, however, know the artist, Warner E. Sallmann. Sallman's lack of notoriety in professional art circles can be explained by the fact that he made little or no attempt to put himself forward as a Chicago or even a Swedish American artist. He had no exhibitions of his works, and his public life consisted largely of appearances before church and community groups to do chalk drawings. More important was his attitude regarding personal fame. Sallman let the Christ he painted be in the foreground, while the artist remained in the background. "The time has come," argues Jack Lundbom, "for a broader public to know the man who stands behind the painting and the other artwork bearing the Sallman signature." Master Painter is a fascinating story of a gifted man with humble beginnings who overcame disappointment, ill health, and personal limitations in order to live out a vision: that his art serve not only for the enjoyment of humankind, but the practical end of instructing persons in the ways of God. Readers who know the art can now know the artist. It is a story eminently worth telling and one a broad public will be interested to know.

The Disruption of Evangelicalism
Author: Geoffrey Treloar
Publisher: Inter-Varsity Press
ISBN: 1783595582
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
The Disruption of Evangelicalism is the first comprehensive account of the evangelical tradition across the English-speaking world from the end of the nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. It offers fresh perspectives on conversionism and the life of faith, biblical and theological perspectives, social engagement, and mission. Tracing these trajectories through a period of great turbulence in world history, we see the deepening of an evangelical diversity. And as events unfold, we notice the spectrum of evangelicalism fragments in varied and often competing strands. Dividing the era into two phases-before 1914 and after 1918-draws out the impact of the Great War of 1914-18 as evangelicals renegotiated their identity in the modern world. By accenting his account with the careers of selected key figures, Geoffrey Treloar illustrates the very different responses of evangelicals to the demands of a critical and transitional period. The Disruption of Evangelicalism sets out a case that deserves the attention of both professional and arm-chair historians.
