Book Description
What makes one happy? What gives him the everlasting peace of mind? The bliss? These questions have been asked millions of times and many people have attempted to find the answer. For me, when someone knows that he has been making right choice every time, even in the most difficult situation, he experiences the bliss. And what is it that prompts him to make those right choices? His values , the divine wisdom. Is this wisdom a monopoly of any faith, culture, or race? Definitely not. This is the same wisdom preached by all faiths, all masters, and all the scriptures. In fact, this is the knowledge that all of us are born with. But over a period of time, the corrupt political, economical and social surroundings mislead our minds and cover this divine spark with ashes of ignorance. It is my strong belief that these stories will blow the ash away and make the spark glow again in its original brightness. The person with his value system rejuvenated by this wisdom, finds himself in constant touch with its higher self. He does not only live in peace with himself but with the whole society as well. He develops the enormous acceptance and compassionate love for every thing around him. He drops all the artificial boundaries in his mind and discovers the true purpose of his lifethat ultimately makes him a better human being!

Origen

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 434
Book Description
An exposition challenging inveterate verdicts ingrained in the historical / theological mindset about Origen, who is shown to have produced a sheerly new theory of Time, the Christian one. Claims attributing the tenet of a 'beginningless world' to him are disproved. The author challenges the widespread impression about this theology being bowled head over heels by its encounter with Platonism or Neoplatonism, casting new light on Origen's grasp of the relation between Hellenism, Hebrew thought and Christianity.

Pages : 164
Book Description
The Bible can be very clear...and very obscure. All of God's Word is valuable. But not all of it is crystal clear in its meaning. Here's a chance to glean wisdom from one of the most up-front, rubber-meets-the-road, meat-and-potatoes books in the Bible...James! This New Testament letter from the apostle (and earthly brother of Jesus) doesn't get any clearer--especially for your middle and high schoolers: So you say you have faith? Let's see it. Want Wisdom? Ask God. Love money? Prepare for Disappointment. Want Results? Pray. Get ready for 12 inductive, small-group Bible studies on what some believe is the most immediately practical guidebook for Christianity in all of Scripture. This complete curriculum includes-- --Your own, personal prep section because you know that your best teaching comes from your heart, not directly from a book. --Not only plenty of face time with your small group members, but also frequent opportunities for solitary meditation. --Truly in-depth sessions with activity and discussion options galore to choose from. --The entire letter of St. James (NIV), ready for photocopying and handing out to your students--passage by passage, chapter by chapter, or in its entirety. Give your students intimate, detailed Bible studies filled with loving, passionate, even brutally direct principals--just the kind of practical, faith-affirming helps they can apply to their lives immediately. And you'll get it all in James: 12 Inductive Sessions on Practical Christianity.

God's Word for You
Author: Charles R. Swindoll
Publisher: NavPress
ISBN: 1496430247
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Are you getting the spiritual nourishment you need? We all know what it’s like to eat an unbalanced diet or consume too many sweets. We feel sick, light-headed, and occasionally depressed, or we become irritated and edgy. It’s the body’s way of letting us know that it’s lacking sufficient nourishment. Optimal health requires optimal nutrition. The same is true, spiritually speaking. Without sufficient and regular biblical nutrition, our inner lives begin to suffer the consequences. We become shallow and selfish, more demanding, and less gentle. We react impatiently, rashly, and angrily. These are tell-tale signs of inner malnutrition. In God’s Word for You, respected Bible teacher Chuck Swindoll shows us how to dig into Scripture and uncover its profound truths for our lives. Chuck invites us to sit down and feast on the truths found in God’s Word.
