Discipleship on the Edge
Author: Darrell W. Johnson
Publisher: Regent College Publishing
ISBN: 9781573832120
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
Revelation is probably the most read, but least understood book of the Bible. History is replete with examples of how not to interpret it, and books featuring end-of-world prophecy claims based on Revelation consistently top the bestseller lists. But how can the message of such an enigmatic book be applied to our lives today? In Discipleship on the Edge, Darrell W. Johnson drives home the challenging and practical message of Revelation in thirty carefully crafted sermons. Paying careful attention to the original context of Revelation and the circumstances surrounding its composition, Johnson shows that the book is not a "crystal ball" but rather a "discipleship manual." Thoroughly researched and yet accessible, this collection of sermons is a helpful resource for pastors and small group leaders who are looking for models to help them preach and teach the message of Revelation in a time when there is much confusion about the end times. Darrell W. Johnson serves as Scholar-in-Residence at The Way Church and Canadian Church Leaders Network in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. A popular conference and retreat speaker, he has also served as the preaching pastor for a number of congregations in North America and the Philippines, as well as serving as Adjunct Professor of Preaching for the Doctor of Ministry program at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California, and a Teaching Fellow at Regent College. His other books include Experiencing the Trinity and Fifty-Seven Words That Change The World.

Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth
Author: Thaddeus J. Williams
Publisher: Zondervan Academic
ISBN: 0310119499
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
God does not suggest, he commands that we do justice. Social justice is not optional for the Christian. All injustice affects others, so talking about justice that isn't social is like talking about water that isn't wet or a square with no right angles. But the Bible's call to seek justice is not a call to superficial, kneejerk activism. We are not merely commanded to execute justice, but to "truly execute justice." The God who commands us to seek justice is the same God who commands us to "test everything" and "hold fast to what is good." Drawing from a diverse range of theologians, sociologists, artists, and activists, Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth, by Thaddeus Williams, makes the case that we must be discerning if we are to "truly execute justice" as Scripture commands. Not everything called "social justice" today is compatible with a biblical vision of a better world. The Bible offers hopeful and distinctive answers to deep questions of worship, community, salvation, and knowledge that ought to mark a uniquely Christian pursuit of justice. Topics addressed include: Racism Sexuality Socialism Culture War Abortion Tribalism Critical Theory Identity Politics Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth also brings in unique voices to talk about their experiences with these various social justice issues, including: Michelle-Lee Barnwall Suresh Budhaprithi Eddie Byun Freddie Cardoza Becket Cook Bella Danusiar Monique Duson Ojo Okeye Edwin Ramirez Samuel Sey Neil Shenvi Walt Sobchak In Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth, Thaddeus Williams transcends our religious and political tribalism and challenges readers to discover what the Bible and the example of Jesus have to teach us about justice. He presents a compelling vision of justice for all God's image-bearers that offers hopeful answers to life's biggest questions.

The 222 Plan Manual
Author: William L. Owens
Publisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781497438514
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
The 222 Plan is a Christian disciple making process. It uses one-on-one mentoring to fulfill the command given by Paul to Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:2. Timothy is told to teach faithful men the things that Paul had taught him. The process lasts about twenty-five weeks. The Manual includes both a disciples workbook and the mentor's guide. The disciple-making process introduced in this manual is the result of more than thirty years of personal one-on-one mentoring. The material has undergone many revisions and was tested in the local church during the entire process. We must emphasize, the "222 Plan" is a process and not a program. A process lasts a lifetime, whereas a program is participated in for the length of its duration and then is considered complete. The process follows the instruction given in 2 Timothy 2:2 and we are under it's mandate until called into His presence. The "process" is truly the Master's plan for building disciples and leaders for His service. Mentoring success in disciple-making, depends upon the mentor's commitment to personally practice the spiritual disciplines he is teaching others. The strategy set forth in this "222 Plan Manual" is for those hungry hearts who have resolved to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
