He exhorts readers to look to Christ for strength, affirmation, and contentment in the midst of their own sin and frailty.

Renewal Theology
Author: J. Rodman Williams
Publisher: Zondervan Academic
ISBN: 0310873673
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 1473
Book Description
Renewal Theology deals with the full range of Christian truth from within the charismatic tradition. Previously published as three separate volumes, Renewal Theology represents the first exhaustive, balanced articulation of charismatic theology. Renewal Theology discusses: Book One--God, the World, and Redemption - Book Two--Salvation, the Holy Spirit, and Christian Living - Book Three--The Church, the Kingdom, and Last Things. As theology, this work is an intellectual achievement. But it is much more than that. The author urges the church to undertake its task of theology in the proper spirit: - an attitude of prayer - a deepening sense of reverence - an ever-increasing purity of heart - a spirit of growing love - a theological approach rooted in the glory of God. Done in such a spirit, theology becomes a faithful and powerful witness to the living God.

Spiritual Authority
Author: Rob Reimer
Publisher: Carpenter's Son Publishing
ISBN: 1952025311
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Jesus gave his disciples authority to preach the good news of the kingdom of God and to cast out demons, heal the sick, save the lost and set the captives free. Everywhere Jesus went, the kingdom came with power. There was no proclamation of the gospel without a demonstration of power. It was the authentic demonstration of Jesus’ power through his followers that ignited the greatest spiritual movements in the first century. Today, we are becoming more like the spiritual climate in the first century then like 1950 America. In a pluralistic, syncretistic society where all deities are considered equal, only the unequal display of Jesus’ power will convince people of the supremacy of Christ. The key to demonstrating the power of the King is Authority and authority is not just positional; it is developmental. Spiritual authority is rooted in identity, expanded in intimacy and activated by faith. This book takes an in depth look at how we can grow in identity, intimacy and faith so that we can develop our authority and release the kingdom.

The Dynamics Of Power in Music
Author: Kehinde Ezekiel
Publisher: XinXii
ISBN: 9787890810
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Power and life are dynamic in nature, they can take forms that are oddity in our sight if viewed with uncommon perspective and rapt attention. Such is the case of music which has become our generic wonder, likened to the sun whose radiance has been scorching and finding inevitable expression in our daily existence, connoting power penetration through the windows and curtains of our homes calling on us to come and behold the extent of its magnificence. It is commonality of archaic and modern existence that music and power work hand-in-hand. In fact, music creates an atmosphere of power and meaning, enabling places to wear unfamiliar appearances. The germane enquiry is: how does music create an atmosphere of power and meaning, causing interrelations? It does when we acknowledge the fact that music, power and some of the factors associated with them can lead to the creation of wonderful experiences and they are one of the subjects of power dynamism the world is yet to take a wide glance at, be wowed by the discoverable factors one can gain and the prestige they can confer on mankind. The unravelling of these dynamic factors that will be thoroughly explicated has never been combined before, let alone have the opportunity of being encapsulated in a compendium like this. This book is about merging minute concept of power and little concept of music to expose depths that control and affect mankind generally but in musical parlance, which is designed to help man navigate his path towards power derivation. This exposition portrays the fact that music is powerful and power to a large extent has become the rhythm (music in form of instructions/machinery of control) people have been dancing (adhered) to before now and hitherto. The inquisitiveness about little knowledge of music being one of the peculiarities of power dynamism that exist in the world is evident in this volume 1 exhibition!

Strengthening Spirit–Releasing Potential
Author: Bernadette Miles
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1725270765
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
Have you ever wondered what releasing spiritual potential in the workplace might do for your organization? In today's climate of colossal and incredibly fast global change, the world needs new ways to develop discerning leaders to consciously lead our community of life into the future. Though there are many books on leadership, they rarely engage the importance and relevance of spiritual development and spiritual accompaniment in organizational discernment and leadership development. Spiritual formation through spiritual direction has the potential to transform the way we lead organizations in secular and religious settings. Drawing on the wisdom and experience of leaders and spiritual directors, this book, first, broadens our understanding of how spiritual direction can be a resource for leadership and organizational development; second, supports spiritual directors in developing their corporate practice and their understanding of the relevance of spiritual direction for a wider community.

The Reason for God
Author: Timothy Keller
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101217650
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
A New York Times bestseller people can believe in—by "a pioneer of the new urban Christians" (Christianity Today) and the "C.S. Lewis for the 21st century" (Newsweek). Timothy Keller, the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, addresses the frequent doubts that skeptics, and even ardent believers, have about religion. Using literature, philosophy, real-life conversations, and potent reasoning, Keller explains how the belief in a Christian God is, in fact, a sound and rational one. To true believers he offers a solid platform on which to stand their ground against the backlash to religion created by the Age of Skepticism. And to skeptics, atheists, and agnostics, he provides a challenging argument for pursuing the reason for God.
