Three far-reaching global trends--terrorism, pluralism, and globalization--have irrevocably altered how we live, think, and communicate in the twenty-first century. We now live in a "glocal" world: what happens globally impacts us locally, and what happens locally impacts things globally. These changes have profound implications for followers of Jesus. Rick Love offers biblical wisdom and practical insights on how to navigate the complexities of communication in this interconnected world. He also invites you to an inward journey that helps you better discern how the things of the heart relate to the work of the ministry. Glocal: Following Jesus in the 21st Century is a call to be a faithful follower of and a winsome witness for Jesus. Love will help you better embody and communicate a core message worth dying for, an integrated identity worthy living for, and a global dream worth suffering for.

Following Jesus in the 21st Century is not a Christian Book, it is a book for Believers-- people who believe in God and His Son, which is Jesus Christ. This is not a book for religious hypocrites. This is a book for spiritual creations who are having a worldly experience. To begin, we are living in a time where Christians have become modern day Pharisees and Sadducees. Who with their religious beliefs and politics of man have disconnected themselves from God and from His Principles. Furthermore, these hypocrites (Christians/Religious People) do not move with God. In fact, they move against God. By spreading hatred, judgment, and the condemning of people. These hypocrites turn their noses up to the less fortunate and create religious “clicks” that distances themselves from people who are different from them. Additionally, these hypocrites use the teachings of man to control the masses and to be worshiped by man. These hypocrites curse sinners and their enemies, while forgetting about their own sins and transgressions. God is in no way shape or form connected to any of theses people because their actions and heart is not Godly but religious. And God has never been for religion. He has always been for relationship. Moreover, Christians have conformed to the world and the world’s way of thinking. From work to wealth, from politics to authority, from education to skill, from decisions to circumstances, and from relationships to community. Christians have indeed lost their way. Therefore, I wrote this book so the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross would not be in vain. I wrote this book for people, not Christians, but for people who truly want to follow Jesus. For people who want to walk with Jesus and not against Him. For people who have the Mind of Christ. For people who have a heart for God and for God’s People. For people who want to receive every promise God gave to them (directly or indirectly). From the blessing to dominion, power, and authority over the world. This book, authorized by your Manufacturer (God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit), is the Owner’s Manual for Today’s Believers, i.e. Followers of Jesus. And so with this manual in combination with the Bible is your way of escape from religious views, politics of man, systematic oppression, cycles, and generational curses. Finally, in this manual you will obtain wisdom, knowledge, and understanding about everything you have inside of you in order to Follow Jesus in the 21st Century. Topics include, Connecting to God, Relationships with God and People, Discerning of Spirits, Spiritual and Natural Battles, The Word of God, The Blessing, The Holy Spirit, Faith, Work, Purpose, Money, Rest, Prophecy, Healing, Ministry, Prayer, Worship, Heaven, Angels, Demons, and more. It is time to get back to your original working order. It is time for a Jesus Reset, Sylvester Veal Jr.

Jesus' Sermon on the Mount is the most familiar sermon in the world. Jesus of Nazareth spoke it over 2000 years ago. The Sermon on the Mount provides insight into the authentic Jesus of the bible. Jesus did not come to make things more complicated than they already are by limiting salvation to only a few. Instead, he upheld impossible possibilities that point to the undeniable grace of God for the many. Have you ever asked yourself, “Who was Jesus? Is the Bible true? Or how do we know the bible is true?” Then Johnny White’s Hard Enough Already: Following Jesus in the 21st Century could be a good Christian book to explore. It will help you answer, “What did Jesus say in the Sermon on the Mount?” Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount is still a critically important message for followers of Jesus in the 21st century. This brief Christian book addresses every word and topic of the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus is drawing the watching world to remarkable teachable moments about being salt and light citizens in the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. He also unpacks what the authentic Jesus looks like to those who want to follow him. Jesus pointed to a life more abundant than retribution, revenge, and violence. He told of the Third Way of mercy, forgiveness, and grace that refuses violence yet never fails to confront evil. The author helps people understand who Jesus is today and how to trust in him even amid a crisis of belief. What could be more apropos for a contentious uncivil time such as this? No matter what happens next.

While the experience of discipleship will look dramatically different today, the nature of discipleship has not changed in over two millennia. Following Jesus is aimed at defining discipleship in order to help those following after Jesus better understand his call upon their lives in the twenty-first century.

Fear has taken on an outsized role in our current cultural and political context. Manufactured threats are advanced with little to no evidence of danger, while real threats are exaggerated for self-interested gain. This steady diet of fear produces unhealthy moral lives, leading many Christians to focus more on the dangers we wish to avoid than the goods we wish to pursue. As a fearful people, we are tempted to make safety our highest good and to make virtues of suspicion, preemption, and accumulation. But this leaves the church ill-equipped to welcome the stranger, love the enemy, or give to those in need. This timely resource brings together cultural analysis and theological insight to explore a Christian response to the culture of fear. Laying out a path from fear to faithfulness, theologian Scott Bader-Saye explores practices that embody Jesus's call to place our trust in him, inviting Christian communities to take the risks of hospitality, peacemaking, and generosity. This book has been revised throughout, updated to connect with today's readers, and includes new discussion questions.

Globalisation and consumerism affect every area of our lives. But it's not just about shopping; these powerful forces shape our personal lives, how we relate to one another, how we view the world - and they are having a seriously detrimental impact both on the lives of the global poor, and on the health of the planet itself. Every Christian in every generation down through the history of the church has had to work out what it means to be a follower of Jesus in their particular culture; for us in the twenty-first century, we must think about discipleship in a globalised, consumerist context. Environmentalist and theologian Ruth Valerio examines these issues in a book that is intellectually rigorous yet practical, and as inspiring as it is challenging.

Chosen to FollowAre you a follower of Jesus Christ? It isn't an easy thing to be in the twenty-first century. It wasn't easy for Matthew, either. He gave up everything when Jesus looked at him and said, "Follow Me." God has called you as well to be in fellowship with Him, but what does that look like today? Based on Following Jesus in the Modern World, this eight-lesson Bible study by evangelist Greg Laurie digs deeply into Scripture to show what it meant to follow Jesus while He lived and what it looks like now. Includes questions for study, application, and reflection as well as leader's notes.

Featuring a brand-new cover design, this edition of N. T. Wright’s popular Following Jesus -- first published in 1995 -- includes a new preface in which Wright reflects on the book’s origin and significance for him personally and on its continued relevance to believers even though our global context has changed. Wright first outlines the essential messages of six major New Testament books -- Hebrews, Colossians, Matthew, John, Mark, and Revelation -- looking in particular at their portrayal of Jesus and what he accomplished in his sacrificial death. In the second part of the book Wright takes six key New Testament themes — resurrection, rebirth, temptation, hell, heaven, and new life in a new world — and considers their significance for the lives of present-day disciples.

“Timeless wisdom for life from one of the great spiritual masters of our age.”—James Martin, S.J., author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage In this never-before-published work of inspiration, the bestselling author of The Return of the Prodigal Son offers a compelling case for why Christianity is still relevant, beautiful, intelligent, and necessary in the modern world. At one of the lowest points in Henri Nouwen’s life, he gave a series of lectures on the importance of following Jesus in an age of anxiety. Drawn from those talks, this new work reveals what sustained Nouwen to remain faithful to the teachings of Jesus and led him to become an icon of compassion and vulnerability. Here he writes eloquently about calling and purpose, fear and hope. And he explains why—with so many choices available to the twenty-first-century seeker—the greatest reward for those looking for spiritual direction is rediscovering Jesus’s teaching on love. Along the way, Nouwen offers warm, insightful, practical habits to help readers navigate the narrow, sometimes arduous, but ultimately fulfilling road of conviction and faith. Praise for Following Jesus “Few writers have influenced me more than Henri Nouwen. These newly published lectures offer fresh and timely insights amid the familiar cadences of Nouwen’s prose, written from a place of deep anxiety but even deeper hope.”—John Inazu, professor of political science, Washington University in St. Louis, author of Confident Pluralism “In Following Jesus, beloved pastor and spiritual mentor Henri Nouwen guides the reader on the journey he has traveled as a follower of Jesus. Without minimizing the anxieties, fears, and brokenness that touch down in every reader’s story, Nouwen gently leads the way into a life that centers on Jesus and engulfs the follower with God’s love, a sense of belonging, and a purpose that endures. Truly a wise and welcome word for anyone in this age of anxiety.”—Carolyn Custis James, author of Half the Church: Recapturing God’s Global Vision for Women and Finding God in the Margins

Why Jesus? For some his name is a swear-word. For others his cross is a fashion accessory or a lucky charm. For many Jesus Christ is considered irrelevant in a world that has 'moved on'. Contemporary attitudes reveal much indifference and ignorance towards him. Why Jesus? Challenges that consensus. To trust and follow Jesus still makes perfect sense. Take a fresh look at the one who claimed to be the Son of God and Saviour of sinners.

Jesus has actual real disciples today. They follow Him in their day to day lives. It is not just on twitter, facebook or other social media, but in choices one has to make daily, yes and in the relationships with those around you - ones you agree with and ones you do not agree with. Following Jesus does not entail a list of rules, do's and don'ts, no. It is a life lived in victory over sin, in joy to be on the earth, sharing the love Jesus has showered us with. It is great. I invite you to follow him fully, unhindered by traditions which nullify the word of God as Mark 7:13 says. Should you slip up at some point, do not lose heart, he picks you and turns you around and teaches you to live victoriously. Happy following.

The most familiar sermon in the world, The Sermon on the Mount, spoken by Jesus of Nazareth over 2000 years ago, is still a critically important message for followers of Jesus in the 21st century. Every word of every paragraph of every topic is addressed in this brief book. Jesus is drawing the watching world to unparalleled teachable moments about how to be salt and light citizens in the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. Johnny White contends that life is hard enough already. Jesus did not come to make things harder than they already are by limiting salvation to only the FEW, but he upheld impossible possibilities that point to the undeniable grace of God for the MANY. Jesus pointed to a life more abundant than retribution and revenge and violence. He pointed to a Third Way of mercy, forgiveness, and grace that refuses violence, yet never fails to confront evil. A life such as Dietrich Bonhoeffer sought to live. What could be more apropos for a contentious uncivil time such as this? No matter what happens next.
