And Their Eyes Were Opened by Ray McAllister Pdf

This book is a detailed theological analysis of blindness in the Hebrew Bible. It explores blindness in the context of religion, law codes, theodicy, social justice, and healing. McAllister first considers the wider context of ancient Near Eastern cultures before analyzing various words for blindness found in the Hebrew Bible. The focus then shifts to examining blindness in various blocks of material, in the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings, before synthesizing the findings. This book is excellent for scholars and students interested in better understanding disability in the context of the Bible and the ancient Near East.

Love Me Anyway by Jared C. Wilson Pdf

There may be no more powerful desire in the human heart than to be loved. And not just loved, but loved anyway. In spite of what we've done or left undone, in spite of the ways we have failed or floundered. We long for an unconditional, lavish love that we know intrinsically we don't deserve. If you are tired, sad, yet always longing, bestselling author Jared C. Wilson has incredible news for you: that kind of love actually exists, and it is actually something you can experience--whether or not you're in a romantic relationship. In his signature reflective, conversational, and often humorous style, Wilson unpacks 1 Corinthians 13 to show us what real love looks like. Through engaging stories and touching anecdotes, he paints a picture of an extravagant God who not only puts the desire for love into our very souls but fulfills those desires in striking, life-changing ways.

Gospel-Centered Discipleship (Foreword by Matt Chandler) by Jonathan K. Dodson Pdf

A Gospel-Rich, Reproducible Model for Making Disciples as Jesus Intended Biblical discipleship emphasizes encouragement, repentance, and spiritual growth—essential parts of the Christian life. However, well-meaning believers often struggle to follow Jesus, unaware their views are too legalistic, licentious, or individualistic. How can churches and Christians develop a healthy, successful path to disciple-making? In this second edition of Gospel-Centered Discipleship, Jonathan Dodson presents an effective, Spirit-led model for sanctification. Reminding readers that real discipleship is imperfect yet transformational, Dodson encourages Christians to engage more authentically with others as they grow in faith. Drawing from his own failures and successes while following Jesus, Dodson defines discipleship, describes the heart of a disciple, and gives practical guidance for mentor and peer-based discipleship as Jesus intended. Revised and Expanded: Includes three new chapters and new illustrations Applicable: Shows how discipleship can be practical and gospel-centered Theological: Addresses the Holy Spirit's involvement in discipleship Foreword by Matt Chandler: Author of The Explicit Gospel

What Did Jesus Look Like? by Joan E. Taylor Pdf

Jesus Christ is arguably the most famous man who ever lived. His image adorns countless churches, icons, and paintings. He is the subject of millions of statues, sculptures, devotional objects and works of art. Everyone can conjure an image of Jesus: usually as a handsome, white man with flowing locks and pristine linen robes. But what did Jesus really look like? Is our popular image of Jesus overly westernized and untrue to historical reality? This question continues to fascinate. Leading Christian Origins scholar Joan E. Taylor surveys the historical evidence, and the prevalent image of Jesus in art and culture, to suggest an entirely different vision of this most famous of men. He may even have had short hair.

And Their Eyes Were Opened by Robert Miner Pdf

And Their Eyes Were Opened -See the difference between the Old and New Covenants. -See the message of the cross interwoven throughout The Bible. -See a Gospel that has the power to set the captives free. Millions of believers live in a secret world of confusion, neither really understanding the faith they hold central nor feeling safe enough to communicate the frustration they experience. Everyone else seems to "get it," but deep down inside, most believers don't, and once they think they've "got it," they read something in The Bible that dismantles their whole doctrinal puzzle all over again. The problem with the puzzle is that we lack the glue that fits it all together. That glue is the new covenant, or put another way, the promise of God. When we understand that The Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, was inspired by God's new covenant plan in Jesus before the foundations of the world, all the random pieces of doctrine start to come together. Adam and Eve ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and their eyes were opened to a false worldview, a world independent from God. Through the new covenant, the Holy Spirit's mission is to open our eyes anew to the mystery hidden for ages but now revealed to creation: Christ in you, the hope of glory. Robert Miner is a middle school teacher in the Los Angeles, California area, and lives with his wife Karen. For more than a decade he suffered from severe fear, depression and condemnation, and has learned to overcome through the revelations of grace and the liberating message of the new covenant in Christ.

Praying with Eyes Wide Open by Sherry Harney,Kevin G. Harney Pdf

Often we view prayer as an activity reserved for a certain time, in a certain place, offered in a specific way. But Scripture encourages us to pray continually. This exhortation is an opportunity for prayer to permeate every aspect of our lives--when we're alone or in a crowd, when it's quiet and when it's chaotic, when we feel like it and when we don't. Praying with Eyes Wide Open shows us how to make continuous prayer a natural part of our lives rather than something on our daily spiritual checklist. It helps us encounter God in new ways as we learn to - open our eyes to see his presence and the world around us - open our ears to hear his voice - open our hearts to experience freedom and power as we pray - and open our lives as we pray for and with others Anyone desiring a richer, more transformative prayer life will welcome this fresh take on conversing with our Creator.

With My Eyes Wide Open by Brian "Head" Welch,Carol Traver Pdf

He left KoRn to help himself. He went back to help others. And along the way, he nearly lost everything. A life-changing spiritual awakening freed Brian “Head” Welch from a stranglehold of drugs and alcohol and prompted him to leave the highly successful nu-metal band KoRn in 2005. What followed was a decade-long trial by fire, from the perils of fathering a teen lost in depression and self-mutilation to the harsh realities of playing solo and surviving the shattering betrayal of a trusted friend. In this intensely inspiring redemption saga, perhaps most inspiring is Brian’s radical decision to rejoin KoRn and reconcile with the tribe of people he once considered family in the metal music scene. Brian returned to his musical roots with a clear head and a devoted heart. Though his story is wild, hilarious, and deeply poignant, the message is simple: God will love you into the freedom of being yourself, as long as you keep the relationship going and never, ever quit.

Fifty Reasons Why Jesus Came to Die by John Piper Pdf

The most important questions anyone can ask are: Why was Jesus Christ crucified? Why did he suffer so much? What has this to do with me? Finally, who sent him to his death? The answer to the last question is that God did. Jesus was God's Son. The suffering was unsurpassed, but the whole message of the Bible leads to this answer. The central issue of Jesus' death is not the cause, but the meaning. That is what this book is about. John Piper has gathered from the New Testament fifty reasons in answer to the most important question that each of us must face: What did God achieve for sinners like us in sending his Son to die?

Open My Eyes, Lord by Erica Kim Pdf

As human beings living in a physical world, we forget there is another world, not only as real, but more real, all around us. God is living and working in this spiritual world - calling, loving, protecting, and helping those who are his. Our arch nemesis, Satan, is also working to blind us to spiritual truth and make us think that the here-and-now is all there is. Open My Eyes, Lord helps us focus on the true realities in life: to believe in the power of prayer, to see the powerful spiritual battle for our souls, to remember that our physical lives on this planet are but a breath when compared to the eternity that we were created to experience.
