NonProphet Woke
Author: Dawn Hill
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781655537585
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 94
Book Description
This is the story of a woman who was once part of church. She had served in various capacities for many years and was known as a prophet and a spiritual daughter by the apostle in that church. Then one day, her and her husband expressed some concerns and questions regarding some teaching in the body. That one action caused a cascade of events in a matter of a few months, resulting in her having to make one of the most difficult decisions of her life. After nearly two decades at this ministry, she would walk away from the only church she had ever known. The woman who had once been identified as a prophet became a nobody to the apostle. She was slandered and falsely accused of things that brought pain and despair, but God used this situation to show her the truth. She began to study the Word of God and became a disciple hungering and thirsting for righteousness. This is the story of the nonprophet. The purpose of this book is to draw attention to potential spiritual abuse and damaging behavior in the church. As you read this book, you will be challenged and empowered to search the Scriptures for yourself and to test things you may have been taught in the Charismatic church. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we are to test teachings and to discern properly according to the Word and the Holy Spirit. I pray this book does just that.

Young, Restless, No Longer Reformed
Author: Austin Fischer
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1625641516
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 131
Book Description
Does it really matter? Does it matter if we have free will? Does it matter if Calvinism is true? And does what you think about it matter? No and yes. No, it doesn't matter because God is who he is and does what he does regardless of what we think of him, just as the solar system keeps spinning around the sun even if we're convinced it spins around the earth. Our opinions about God will not change God, but they can change us. And so yes, it does matter because the conversations about free will and Calvinism confront us with perhaps the only question that really matters: who is God? This is a book about that question--a book about the Bible, black holes, love, sovereignty, hell, Romans 9, Jonathan Edwards, John Piper, C. S. Lewis, Karl Barth, and a little girl in a red coat. You've heard arguments, but here's a story--Austin Fischer's story, and his journey in and out of Calvinism on a trip to the center of the universe.

Ragged
Author: Gretchen Ronnevik
Publisher: New Reformation Publications
ISBN: 1948969491
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
When we mistake spiritual disciplines for to-dos, time slots on our schedule, or Instagram-able moments, we miss the benefits of Christ's continual and constant work for us. In Ragged, Gretchen Ronnevik aims to reclaim spiritual disciplines as good gifts given by our good Father instead of heavy burdens of performance carried by the Christian. Only when we recognize our failures to maintain God's commands do we also realize the benefit of our dependence on his promises. Gretchen uses this distinction on law and gospel, presented throughout Scripture, to guide readers through spiritual disciplines including prayer, meditation, Scripture reading, and discipleship among others. Despite our best efforts, the good news is that spiritual disciplines have less to do with what we bring before God and more about who Christ is for us, not only as the author but also as the perfector of our faith.
