"We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers...against spiritual wickedness in high places." —Ephesians 6:12 This small but important book by Hendrik Berkhof ushered in a wave of studies on "the powers" spoken of in the New Testament, profoundly influencing William Stringfellow, Jacques Ellul, Marva Dawn, Walter Wink, and many others.

Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ (Revised Edition)
Author: John Piper
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433517310
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
Who is Jesus Christ? You've never met him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ-the divine Person revealed in the Bible-has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet. The depth and complexity of Jesus shatter our simple mental frameworks. He baffled proud scribes with his wisdom but was understood and loved by children. He calmed a raging storm with a word but would not get himself down from the cross. Look at the Jesus of the Bible. Keep your eyes open, and fill them with the portrait of Jesus in God's Word. Jesus said, "If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority." Ask God for the grace to do his will, and you will see the truth of his Son. John Piper has written this book in the hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else.

Christ the Meaning of History

Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1592446388
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
The core of the Bible, Berkhof argues, is the belief that the Kingdom of God is coming with power. This is the belief that the cross and resurrection are an analogy of the Christ-Event which is being realized throughout the world. Berkhof addresses non-theologians as well as fellow scholars. He is sure that the message of the Church is able to liberate and humanize.

Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
In this prophetic call to the evangelical church, Wells stresses that Christians need to confess Christ as the center in a society lacking a center, as the sovereign in a world seemingly ruled by chance, and as the one who can give meaning in a nihilistic culture.

Pages : 289
Book Description
With Playing God, Andy Crouch opens the subject of power, elucidating its subtle activity in our relationships and institutions. He gives us much more than a warning against abuse, though. Turning the notion of "playing God" on its head, Crouch celebrates power as the gift by which we join in God's creative, redeeming work in the world.

The Vibration of Christ
Author: Jan Glaz
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 70
Book Description
Jesus - A feel good frequency - In short, all Spirits are pure energy and we're all supposed to have one. From the beginning of time Spirits have been striving to ride the highest wave. So as expected Jesus is known as the highest wave. Believe it or not even Atheists feel the wave and strive for it, though they avoid any Christian or biblical labels. Christians and non-Christians have been writing about Christ for centuries. "The Vibration of Christ" presents a closeup of Jesus for our now generation steeped in science and technology, a spiritual being born to flesh that changed the course of history. Light is a frequency of vibration. Apostle John (8-12) states that Jesus proclaimed and promised "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life." Light brighter than anyone can phantom. And who has not noticed the connection between our modern day superhero movies, the bible, and Jesus Christ. Christ had super powers, His body ascended after death. He could speak words and transform matter into miracles, heal and raise the dead. We have God the hero, a flesh born spirit/son and his army of good people against Satan an anti-hero and his army of evil-doers. Heroes always win, that's why they are Heroes. Our Hero Jesus vibrates perfection - Love is that perfection!
