Seeking a Life That Counts
Author: G. S. Gleaves
Publisher: Gospel Advocate Company
ISBN: 9780892255559
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Ask anyone what his or her goal is in life and you will almost always hear, "I just want to be happy." But there are some problems with that answer. We all like feelings of pleasure, enjoyment and satisfaction. But they don?t last. They are just feelings - and feelings are fickle. They change with our circumstances. So what do we do? We could give up and scream, "It's all meaningless!" Or perhaps we could shift our focus and reconsider what we are seeking and where we are finding it. Centuries ago the Preacher wrote a piece of wisdom literature called "Ecclesiastes." This wise man faced the exact same challenges we do today - how to find meaning in life when everything seems to be meaningless. And he found it. Join G. Scott Gleaves on a study of this Old Testament book that holds the key to finding peace and contentment in modern life. You really can find true happiness - you just have to look in the right place.

Right Now Counts Forever
Author: Robert Charles Sproul
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781642893045
Category : Christian life
Languages : en
Pages : 1398
Book Description
"Our Christian assertion is that there is more to our lives than 'now.' If there is not then even the now is meaningless. But we say now counts. Why? Now counts because we are creatures who have an origin and a destiny which is rooted and grounded in God." --R.C. Sproul ------ There is no such thing as a meaningless moment. Since we're made in God's image and created for His eternal glory, everything we think, say, and do today matters forever. The question is, How should this truth direct our daily lives? For more than forty years, Dr. R.C. Sproul wrote his recurring column in Tabletalk magazine, Right Now Counts Forever, to apply the teachings of the Bible and Reformed theology to everyday life. No topic was off-limits because every part of our lives bears enduring significance. Through the years, Dr. Sproul helped Christians give careful thought to topics in theology and history, politics and current events, relationships and entertainment, and more. In this four-volume collection, hundreds of Dr. Sproul's columns have been brought together for the first time. Written to serve the church, this treasury of theological reflection can help guide believers of all ages to live with eternity in mind and devote all of life to the glory of God.

Looking for Life
Author: John G. Lewis
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0567457125
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
Through exegetical studies of 1 Corinthians and Galatians, John Lewis shows how Paul synthesises theology and ethics - which interpreters frequently separate - as integrated aspects of Christian thinking and living. This fusion becomes evident in Paul's complex process of theological, moral reasoning that lies beneath the surface of his letters for which we have coined the phrase 'theo-ethical reasoning'. The book also examines how Paul encourages his churches to apply this theo-ethical reasoning in the community practice of spiritual discernment - a dialogical, comparative process of reasoned reflection on behaviour and experience. Through this practice of looking for life, community members are led by the Spirit as they reason together, attempting to associate the manifestations of new life with conduct that faithfully portrays Christ's self-giving pattern. This correlation of conduct with experience grounds Paul's own proclamation of Jesus Christ in word and deed. It also becomes the foundation for believers' faith and hope as they come to know Christ and experience the power of God. Thus, the book concludes that the practice of spiritual discernment by means of theo-ethical reasoning lies at the centre of Paul's religion.
