Book Description
Because the book is based on selected stories from the entire Bible, readers discover many insights of the person of God and how He patiently and lovingly works in and through His people. Moses asked God, "Show me Your Glory." So the Lord, concealed by a cloud. passed by Moses and revealed His moral attributes--holy, righteous, compassionate, gracious, and abounding in loving kindness and truth (integrity to His own moral character). God also forgives iniquity (perversity), transgression (rebellion against God and His morals), God forgives sin (missing the target God sets for us). God is slow to anger, yet He will punish the guilty (those who refuse to repent and to acknowledge Him as Savior and Lord). The author seeks to tell the stories in ways that are true to Scripture; all stories have many quotes from Scripture. The author also seeks to read between the lines and to reveal history, settings, beliefs, and emotions. Such things help anchor the stories to real life and enable readers relate God's stories to their own lives. While reading the OT stories, readers will experience "mini revelations," as God interacts with different people, situations, and cultures. Thus, readers are prepared for God's full revelation of Himself in Jesus. As readers enter the NT stories of Jesus, they grow close to Him. Then the crucifixion, resurrection and ascension of Jesus makes many ask, "What now?" Then the Holy Spirit bursts on the scene, just like Jesus promised. As readers continue through the stories of Acts and Apostles, they discover the spread of faith and the growth of the church. Those Bible stories become pieces of a big puzzle revealing the person of God and His eternal plan for us. That realization begins to take over the readers' hearts and minds. The author prays that this book will be discovered by Christians whose spiritual growth has been stopped due to their confusion and fear brought about by the growing culture of unbelief in our nation. The church is under siege across the world. However, God is God, and His word guarantees victory.

Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
What beliefs are core to the Christian faith? This book is here to help you understand the reason for your hope as a Christian so that you can see it with fresh sight and invite others into the conversation. A lot of Christians take their story—the narratives that give rise to their beliefs—for granted. They pray, go to church, perhaps even read their Bible. But they might be stuck if a stranger asked them to explain what they believe and why they believe it. Author, pastor, and theologian Mike Horton unpacks the essential and basic beliefs that all Christians share in a way that is easy to understand and applicable to our lives today. And in a way that will make you excited to be a Christian! Core Christianity covers topics like: Jesus as both fully God and fully man. The doctrine of the Trinity. The goodness of God despite a broken world. The ways God speaks. The meaning of salvation. What is the Christian calling? Includes discussion questions for individual or group use. This introduction to the basic doctrines of Christianity is perfect for those who are new to the faith, as well as those who have an interest in deepening their understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.

The Glory Now Revealed
Author: Andrew M. Davis

ISBN: 1493430270
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
Believers know that when we die we enter heaven and will spend eternity there with God and the saints who have gone before us. But what actually happens in heaven? What are we going to be doing there? Won't it get boring at some point? According to Scripture, a large part of our experience of heaven will be a continual revealing of God's glory. Not just his glory in the moment, but during all of time. The mysteries of providence, the hidden movements of God throughout history, and the forgotten and unnoted works of even the most obscure of God's people will be unveiled so that we can see how wise, loving, gracious, and powerful our God is. And though we will experience perfection in heaven, we will never be omniscient, which means we will always be learning more about God's glory, inspiring us to return joyful praise and thanksgiving. If your vision of heaven has been limited to clouds and harps and angels, it's time to expand that view with the truth found in this biblically based look at the afterlife.

Truth Plus Love
Author: Matt Brown
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310355257
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
Imagine what our world might look like if Christians became known for remarkable love, as well as life-giving truth. The stakes are high and the need is great for Christians to represent Jesus to a watching world. And today, we have more influence than ever before--for better and for worse. We are among the first generations to have access to a global megaphone through social media. But it's not enough to speak truth louder to a noisy culture. To counter the reputation Christians have earned, our love must be just as loud. Ask evangelist Matt Brown, and he will tell you Christians today are facing a crisis of influence. In our rush to speak truth to today's tensions, cultural issues, and trending controversies, it becomes all too easy to focus on proving our points rather than extending God's grace. Conversely, when we seek only to love yet never proclaim a better way, we short-circuit God's plan. Truth Plus Love invites you to rediscover the biblical framework for engaging culture as ambassadors of Christ. Through biblical insight, cultural analysis, and practical principles, Matt Brown outlines how to champion truth without compromise, how to love unconditionally, and ultimately, how to step into this great adventure of representing God to the world. It's hard, it's messy, and it's the unfinished project of a lifetime, yet here we find our great adventure: representing God to a watching world.

Our Eternal God Has an Eternal Plan, and His Plan Far Surpasses the Mere Satisfaction of Our Individual Hopes and Desires.

The Role of the Church is Crucial in the Accomplishment of God's Eternal Plan. Today, Like Never Before, the Church is in the Midst of a Universal Strugle Between God and His Enemy, Satan.

The Responsibility for Satan's Defeat Now Rests with the Church, as it Daily Must Seek Through Revelation and Prayer to Advance God's Interest on the Earth and to Shun Every Vestige of Satanic Influence.
