I Love to Tell the Stories by Paul D. Grams, Ph.D., D.D. Pdf
When I was a young boy my mother entertained me nearly every day by reading me Bible stories from a children’s book. I was thrilled by such stories as David and Goliath and Daniel in the lions’ den. These stories made me feel like I was there witnessing the events unfold right before my eyes and they sparked within me a lifelong desire for Bible study. For this book I have written an adult version of my fifty-two favorite stories as they are found in the King James Bible and I also included my own commentaries about each story. I suggest that you use this book as a part of your devotions and concentrate on one story each week of the year. It is my sincere desire that you too will be enthralled by the accounts of these great men and women in Bible history.

I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die by Sarah J. Robinson Pdf
A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
Those of us hearing a "Well Told Story" may become more aware of the Implications of that story than by a mere recital of facts. The use of the "Story Form" of relating an event may be the best method of capturing the signifi cance of the actual event. In the understanding and presentation of the Christian faith, "Story" is considered as a "fundamental category of reality." It is the perfect vehicle for presenting the Good News of the Gospel." (John Paul Roth) The presentation of real events in story form preserves the remembrance of reality without limiting its implications to the mere recording of historical facts. The Gospel story carries us beyond the realm of human understanding into the higher realm of faith. The power of story assists us in bridging the gap between the inexplicable in the Gospel Story and the human experience, This holds true with the stories which accompany and support the underlying " Story of God in Jesus Christ." True stories, as is the Gospel Story, will take precedence over stories told only for entertainment or to serve a specifi c agenda, Yet even the stories of integrity and truth need to be told well and with skill. This is discussed in detail herein. As Theologians we must tell the Story with truth and understanding; as Evangelists with persuasiveness and tolerance, and as Preachers, or Witnesses, we must share the Story often, convincingly and with Love. "Loving God, loving each other and the Story never ends

In the Beginning Were Stories, Not Texts by C S Song Pdf
According to Song, the Christian faith is deeply rooted in storytelling: stories are the most basic mode of human communication and, in the same idea, the Christian Bible is fundamentally a story. Though, Song regrets the fact that Christians, and above all Christian theologians, so often fail to express their faith in term of stories. Christian theology is most often expressed in terms of concepts, ideas, and systems. Following the conviction that this is the most appropriate way to express our faith, the proposal of this book is to speak of Christian faith and theology through stories rather than systems and texts.
The Sacred Scriptures - Vol. II (Part 1/2) by Johannes Biermanski Pdf
The objective of “The Sacred Scriptures” by John Biermanski is to revoke all falsifications in today's Bibles known so far (in the Old and New Testament), and to restore the original state of the verses as far as possible. In the present work, you will find “The Acts of the Apostles” to “The Letter of Paul the Apostle to Philemon”, in which the verses are written in German and English, as well as an appendix with various elaborations and statements, etc. (see the table of contents). There is both a German and an English edition in which the attachments are available in the respective selected language. This is an English edition. The author was born in 1963 in North Rhine-Westphalia and completed a traineeship for wholesale and foreign trade in a pharmaceutical wholesale company. In the course of his professional development, he used to be a freelancer but was also officially employed; he has experienced a lot rises and falls throughout his life. While studying the Scriptures, he was led by the Spirit of the only God, the Almighty and the only Holy Father in heaven, whereas, by grace, he could recognize many things that are now presented as heresies to the world. In recent years he has been active in the proclamation of the Word of YAHWEH Elohim (G-d) in Europe, Canada, particularly in Brazil (South America), and has enlightened many people by his message, so that they get to know the true God, His holy name and His will and only obey Him (Exodus 20:2-11; Leviticus chapter 19 and 23 etc.) – and start to think about all this, i. e. “so that they finally decide themselves in favour of the living Elohim (G-d): YAHWEH, instead of against Him, and their names are not erased from the divine 'Book of Life' forever.”
Preaching is a challenging, privileged, and awesome responsibility. As important as mining the text for its meaning and message and making connections to our twenty-first-century world is the responsibility to engage the imaginations of the people in the pews (or chairs). In this book, Ray Friesen--life-long preacher and retired pastor--has provided twenty examples of how to be creative and engage those imaginations. Most were written under the pressures of bi-vocational ministry (preaching forty times a year as half-time pastor and operating a mediation practice). They are offered to you, not as sermons for you to preach, but as examples of what is possible, even with all the other responsibilities you may have. Each sermon and type of creativity will create an opportunity to set your imagination and creativity free to engage the imaginations, hearts, and dreams of your parishioners.

The author was born in 1963 in North Rhine-Westphalia and completed a traineeship for wholesale and foreign trade in a pharmaceutical wholesale company.

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.” (Heb. 8:10-12) “Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has great recompense of reward. For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of YAHWEH, you might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: But if he draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.” (Heb. 10:35-38) “Yes truly, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of the Messiah Yahshua my Master: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win the Messiah, and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith in the Messiah, the righteousness which is from YAHWEH by faith.” (Phil. 3:8-9)
