Fooling Ourselves with Fig Leaves by Edoardo S. Miciano Pdf
In his letter to the church in Galatia, the Apostle Paul addresses the inefficacy of religious tradition for salvation and reaffirms the completeness of Jesus Christ's redemptive work for our deliverance and righteousness. Fooling Ourselves with Fig Leaves is an attempt to take the message of the Galatian epistle and apply it to today's spiritual context. In it, the author takes us through a journey of discovery and insight as he exposes the deceptive nature of religion, and highlights efficacy of justification by grace through faith. As a professor and pastor, Miciano writes with a desire to be faithful to the integrity of the ancient text while being mindful of the needs of believers and seekers today. This makes for an engaging read in exploring the age-old pursuit of knowing God and enjoying him forever.
WHEN GOD’S COMMAND BECOMES A QUESTION by Jay Leach Pdf
IGNORANCE OF GOD’S TRUTH IS NO EXCUSE! We are to glorify God and love Him with all our heart, soul and mind; and love our neighbors as ourselves. As believers, we are to be conduits for the flow of God’s love to other human beings. However, the Christian Community is greatly hindered corporately and individually because of self-love, individualism, spiritual and biblical ignorance. Many Christians look at the truths of God’s Word in an attitude of utter defeat and unbelief. God said this work would be done through us empowered by the Holy Spirit. We can trust Him to complete His work in us because He has promised it (see Philippians 1:6). God repeatedly assures us of His promised provisions for us, and of His consistent undying love for us. Why not fully—yield yourself to Him today!
Technological advances evolve at an astonishing rate, and this new appreciation of science is forcing many to abandon faith values entirely. Social media distributes a wide array of information, including secular ideals that have limited or no validity. Traditional faith values are being lost because they are perceived as having no valid application in todays society. In Is Heaven a Place?, author Dr. Richard B. Fratianne offers a new look into selected passages of the Bible to help Christians of all faiths gain a deeper insight into the modern application of the words and actions of Jesus and the prophets. By viewing Biblical stories and events as metaphors, he shows how to live faith values effectively in this emerging, technology driven, and progressively unethical society. Taking a more meaningful look at the Bible, Is Heaven a Place? re-energizes Christians, especially young adults, in their faith practice and enhances the spiritual energy of their lives. Fratianne presents modern applications to scriptures meant to stimulate thought, reflection, and prayer by all religious leaders and lay people.

How being real with others will help us fight sin and grow authentic friendships Every woman longs for authentic friendships with others-but in a world of carefully-curated social media, most of us are merely keeping up appearances. Both online and offline, we're all prone to only presenting the best side of ourselves. This book shows us that the secret to growing the relationships we crave is in developing a biblical habit of repentance. By being honest about our sin before God and receiving his forgiveness, we're freed be honest about our sin with others. When we drop the act and allow ourselves to be vulnerable by sharing our struggles, not only are we strengthened in our fight against sin, but we experience authentic fellowship and real friendship. Catherine Parks empowers women to fight side by side against their sin, and shows how by getting real about our struggles, we can create genuine community in an "I'm fine" culture. This book is great for reading with your book group, women's group, accountability partner, or one-to-one mentor-discussion questions are included for every chapter.
The Self-Deceiver Plainly Discover'd to Himself, Or the Serious Christian Instructed in His Duty to God ... In Some Private Conferences Between a Minister and His Parishioner by Clement Ellis Pdf
Who better to face the greatest evil of the 20th century than a humble man of faith? As Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seduced a nation, bullied a continent, and attempted to exterminate the Jews of Europe, a small number of dissidents and saboteurs worked to dismantle the Third Reich from the inside. One of these was Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor and author. In this New York Times bestselling biography, Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer's life--the theologian and the spy--and draws them together to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil. In Bonhoeffer, Metaxas presents the fullest account of Bonhoeffer's life, including his: heart-wrenching decision to leave the safe haven of America to return to Hitler's Germany involvement in the famous Valkyrie plot and in "Operation 7," the effort to smuggle Jews into neutral Switzerland lifelong dedication to sharing the tenets of his faith This edition, revised and with a new introduction from the author, shares the deeply moving story through previously unavailable documents, including personal letters, detailed journal entries, and firsthand personal accounts to reveal never-before-seen dimensions of Bonhoeffer's life and work. Praise for Bonhoeffer: "Metaxas has created a biography of uncommon power--intelligent, moving, well researched, vividly written, and rich in implication for our own lives. Or to put it another way: Buy this book. Read it. Then buy another copy and give it to a person you love. It's that good." --Archbishop Charles Chaput, author, First Things "Metaxas tells Bonhoeffer's story with passion and theological sophistication." —Wall Street Journal "Metaxas presents Bonhoeffer as a clear-headed, deeply convicted Christian who submitted to no one and nothing except God and his Word." --Christianity Today "Metaxas has written a book that adds a new dimension to World War II, a new understanding of how evil can seize the soul of a nation and a man of faith can confront it." --Thomas Fleming, author, The New Dealers’ War
In the Bible, milk and honey speaks of God’s bountiful provision and symbolizes our basic need for solid spiritual food and sweet communion with the triune God through Christ. With that in mind, this devotional book dwells on God’s sustaining grace revealed throughout Scripture. Unlike some daily devotional books that are an assortment of meditations with no thematic structure, Milk and Honey provides brief devotional thoughts that cover the major contours of Scripture in the course of a year. Bible books are divided among twelve pastors so that each month covers a particular portion of Scripture. The result is a devotional survey of the Bible by able expositors of God’s Word.
