Be Saved!
Author: Timothy E. Herring
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1503533344
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
God is crying out loud for his people. Thousands upon thousands of his children are dying unsaved! Our gangsters, our wayward teens, our ex-prisoners, and our young adults belong to God. They belong to us also. All is ours! We must face the blame. We created them. We created conditions that produced them. We shut down the mandatory military draft, the one sure way of teaching self-discipline, self-restraint, obedience, and responsibility to young adults prior to adulthood. Our Industrial Revolution paled in the light of the Technological Revolution, where high-paying apprenticeships and other jobs were given to robotics; one robot replaced twenty hard-working men with large families. Most of the remaining manufacturing jobs were shipped abroad, and the Industrial Revolution mud-bottomed out. Fast-food jobs were unable to support their families. We took away the industrial schools for delinquents who had large families; we gave these schools to the robotically displaced. Delinquents were pushed into jobs that could not support families. We made shotgun weddings disappear, so did the fathers. Where did they all go? They didnt go. They were pushed into the streets to survive. Pimps, drug dealers, confidence scammers, strong-arm robbers, gangsters, and identity thieves became the order of the day. Time is running out! The same thousands upon thousands of our wayward teenagers, gangsters, ex-prisoners, and young adults are falling through the cracks. Baby-killing spirits, seducing spirits, spirits of witchcraft, and spirits of divination are operating without walls in the metropolitan areas of the United States. This is of great concern to all saved people. We all recognize it, speak of it, and desire to do something about it. The task to overcome is so great we dont know where to begin! Some has even given up, referring to it as the Signs of the Times. We continue to do our church thing. We continue to do our televangelists thing. We continue to do our international thing. We continue to strive for bigness. All of these is vitally important and must continue. But more is needed that speaks directly to gangsters, wayward teens, ex-prisoners, and young adults. More effort is needed to get their souls saved. If they come during the street ministrys call, thats great. We say we love you. But we will not call you directly to be saved.

Liquid Church
Author: Tim Lucas
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310100119
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
In today's fluid culture, many churches are adrift--longing to reach spiritually thirsty people, but failing to make an impact. Have you noticed? Congregations are stuck or declining. Millennials and Gen Z are walking away. Volunteers and their generosity are drying up. Is your city, town, or neighborhood spiritually dry? Do you long to see more of the living water of Jesus flowing freely through your community, generating a fresh wave of ministry momentum? Buckle up: you're in for a whitewater ride! Liquid Church tells the fascinating story of a New Jersey church that began "on accident" and grew into one of America's 100 Fastest-Growing Churches, with over 5,000 in weekly attendance and more than 2,400 baptisms to date. Their secret? They harnessed the power of six powerful ministry currents sweeping across North America including: special needs, creative communication, ministry mergers, compassionate cause, radical generosity, and leadership development. With powerful stories and scriptural insights, backed by national research, Tim Lucas and Warren Bird describe dozens of fresh ideas, new ministry wineskins, and hard-won leadership learnings that resonate with rising generations in today's "show-then-tell" culture. Each chapter includes practical tools, real-life examples, and links to "Other Churches Making Waves" with cutting-edge ministry ideas designed to help saturate your city for Christ. Ready to dive deeper? Whether you serve a brand-new church plant, fast-growing congregation, or an aging ministry ready for reinvention, Liquid Church is an inspiring and practical guide for leaders ready to reach their spiritually thirsty neighbors--those who have given up on church, but haven't given up on God.

The Heroic Gangster
Author: Neil Hanson
Publisher: Skyhorse Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1628735996
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
Monk Eastman was born in 1873 to a respectable New York family. By the age of eighteen he was running the streets of Lower Manhattan, first starting as a bouncer, and later as a gang leader who led an army of two thousand. He had both politicians and cops in his pocket and seemed untouchable. That all changed when he was sentenced to ten years at Sing Sing prison after several battles with Pinkerton detectives. He ended up losing all his territory and by the time he got out, realized that the streets were no longer safe enough for him to be around. With that, he immediately joined the New York National Guard, going from a street kingpin to a lowly private. Taking what he learned from the streets, Monk quickly proved himself, as his division was put on the front lines during the trench warfare of World War I. He came back to New York a hero and was given a governor’s pardon. He was back on top; but the real question was, would he be able to leave his past behind? This incredible story, told by Neil Hanson, relives for the reader the history of Monk Eastman, New York, and a pivotal point in our country’s history.

Bible in Pocket, Gun in Hand

Pages : 198
Book Description
"'The Story of Frontier Religion' could have been told in a great many ways, many of them dull. Here, however, inter-pretative matter has been kept to a minimum and source material selected with an unerring sense of humor. . . . There are chapters on the styles of preaching and of praying, the phenomena of revivalism, the church as a disciplinary force, frauds and 'bad men' who preached, scoffers and trouble-makers, the fiercely jocular competition among the various sects, and the hard lot of circuit ministers."--Virginia Kirkus' Bulletin "This is an admirable piece of research, unpedantic but authentic, packed with entertaining anecdotes (some of them hilarious) based on obscure pastoral autobiographies, the diaries of early missionaries, the minutes of church court trials, and other curious source materials. . . . A unique book."--Chicago Sunday Tribune Ross Phares has written widely for magazines and is the author of several books.
