Book Description
Sometimes we think we have it all planned out. We have a goal that we have set for ourselves and have established the path needed to reach that goal. Unfortunately, life does not always seem to cooperate with those plans. In these times, we may become confused, frustrated, upset, and seemingly hopeless. We may ask God why He has allowed a hardship or great devastation to take place in our lives. The answer as to why this situation is happening may come in any length of time. For some, the reason may come quickly. For others, the answer may not come for years to follow. Nevertheless, we must remain patient for His answer and continue to press on through each trial. We must do this not only to grow in our own trust in God but also to show others the power of faith and God's miracles. Through each trial that you face, you are given the opportunity to have a stronger relationship with Christ. When you endure through those trials, you become a living testimony for God's grace. You become a source of hope and inspiration to others going through their own trials. Take each battle one day at a time. It is not always easy, and at times you may stray off course, but you will likely discover a greater purpose for your time here on earth while you patiently endure.

Revelation
Author: Rob Dalrymple
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666733563
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 491
Book Description
Could the cry “Come out of her My people” (Rev 18:4) not be needed more today than it was when John penned the Apocalypse? The book of Revelation begins and ends with the affirmation that God is the world’s true Lord, not Caesar. In telling this story, John lays out for us the fact that Christ’s kingdom is not like the kingdoms of the world. The kingdoms of the world rule by force and at the expense of the masses and for the benefit of those in power. Jesus’s kingdom, however, comes through love. In Christ’s kingdom, power is demonstrated by laying down one’s life for one’s enemies. Jesus, of course, demonstrated this kind of love on the cross, and he calls us to do the same. We have nothing to fear. After all, Jesus was dead and now he is alive and he has the keys to Death and Hades. Unfortunately, many interpreters have come to believe that the devastation and destruction depicted in the book of Revelation—in particular, in the accounts of the Seven Seals and the Seven Bowls—are God’s end-times wrath. But have we ever stopped to consider that this portrait of God is fundamentally at odds with the gospel? And with Jesus’s call for us to love one another even as he loved us? The book of Revelation tells a different story.

A Heart for the Future
Author: Robert Boak Slocum
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1532642806
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
Apart from impressive liturgical expressions every year in Advent and one stirring statement called “The Christian Hope,” which concludes the Prayer Book Catechism, the Episcopal Church is not known for its formation and application of eschatology—the doctrine of last things. A Heart for the Future: Writings on the Christian Hope may change that. The distinguished and diverse contributing authors—including Robert M. Cooper, Robert D. Hughes, Harold T. Lewis, Fredrica Harris Thompsett, Paul F. M. Zahl, and Robert Boak Slocum (who is also the general editor)—differ widely in method, meaning, and approach. They are very much alike, however, in the rigor with which they profess their faith in the Christian future, avoiding the simplistic eschatology that would cleave the Body of Christ in two by creating a false dichotomy between walking with God in this world and walking toward God in the next. The choice Christians must make is not between the now and the external; it is between being forward-looking and being backward-looking. Unless we look with eagerness and longing toward the future, we will stay stranded in the past. To live the Christian life today, we need A Heart for the Future.

Into All the World
Author: Mark Harding
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 1467448540
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 425
Book Description
Into All the World—the third volume from editors Mark Harding and Alanna Nobbs on the content and social setting of the New Testament—brings together a team of eminent Australian scholars in ancient history, New Testament, and the early church to take the story of Christianity into the Jewish and Greco- Roman world of the first century. In thirteen chapters, the contributors discuss all the post-Pauline New Testament writings, devoting attention to both their content and their context. They examine the impact of the growth of the church on both Jews and Gentiles, exploring issues such as the diaspora, minorities, the Book of Acts, and the Fourth Gospel. The book then proceeds to a discussion of the impact of Christianity on the Roman state, including consideration of the book of Revelation and the imperial cult. A final chapter investigates how the church was perceived by Clement of Rome at the end of the first century.

Practicing Lament

ISBN: 1725272601
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 86
Book Description
In a faith focused on resurrection hope, patient endurance, and victory in Christ, is there any room for pain, doubt, and anger? In Scripture, lament is the prayer that makes that room. Not only is lament one of the most common forms of prayer in the Old Testament, it's also woven deeply into the fabric of the New Testament and the Christian way. Lament is the cry for all those who ache over the way things are but aren't content to let them stay that way. It's the prayer for all the ways that the kingdom has not yet come, in the hope that God's justice and peace will prevail--someday.
