Now Concerning Spiritual Things by Fitzroy John Willis Pdf

In a pluralistic world of competing truth claims, how can one discern what is truly representative of God? How can we live and communicate what is authentically "spiritual?" How do we bridge the religious impasse between believers and a post-Christendom and pluralistic context where individuals may consider themselves to be spiritual, yet are offended by the person of Jesus? Can relativism be an effective means of evaluating truth from falsehood? What role should race, gender, and socioeconomic background play in society and the church? These are just a few of the questions this study addresses in presenting a more balanced, dialogical, and biblical criterion for authentic spirituality. The insights on how to discern, live, and communicate what is authentically spiritual are significant for interreligious and ecumenical dialogue across denominations. These insights contribute a way to more effectively communicate divine truths to all, for it is conversant with various sources of knowledge about God and is accountable to feedback from these sources of truth. For example, tacit knowledge such as that derived from faith, and spiritual gifts, as well as rational, or philosophical claims to truth, along with Western, Eastern, and Southern modes of thinking, are all incorporated.

Spirit, Soul, and Body by Andrew Wommack Pdf

Have you ever asked yourself what changed when you were "born again?" You look in the mirror and see the same reflection - your body hasn't changed. You find yourself acting the same and yielding to those same old temptations - that didn't seem to change either. So you wonder, Has anything really changed? The correct answer to that question is foundational for receiving from God. If you lack this basic understanding, you'll forever ask yourself doubt-filled questions like: "How could God love somebody like me?" and "How can I possibly expect to receive anything from the Lord? I don't deserve it, I'm not good enough!" Spirit, Soul, and Body will help you eliminate those and other doubt-filled questions that destroy your faith. If you have trouble receiving from God, this is a must-read!

What Are Spiritual Gifts? by Kenneth Berding Pdf

Many Christians have tried to discover their spiritual gifts only to find the process frustrating and complicated. Rarely in our search do we actually ask what should be our central question: What are spiritual gifts? Kenneth Berding believes we have misunderstood spiritual gifts, which has led to a misguided search. His convincing and readable study suggests that the Holy Spirit does not give special abilities (the conventional view), but rather calls us and places us into various ministries to build up and strengthen the body of Christ. - Back cover.

Questions and Answers on the Gifts of the Spirit by Chris Segun Onayinka Pdf

As our tradition has always been to put out truths of God's word across the lanes of the things of, that pertain to the spirit, we bring to you another material that captures in a basic way, questions might be probing the minds of many, on the demonstrations of the gifts of the spirit. 1st Corinthians 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. Paul instructs concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. Such instructions should not go without being attended to. Just like today, Paul would ask the Corinthian church severally, "know ye not." It is also important to realise that in our world today, we have so many "know ye nots" to ask when it comes to the gifts of the spirit, either via their classifications, their workings, the instructions that follow them within the pages of Paul's letters and the entire body of scriptures. In this book we answer simple things like the indwelling of the spirit, Baptism of the Holy Ghost, the different classifications of the gifts and the things of the spirit, as received by great scholars and those who have gone ahead of us and laid a good foundation that we build upon today. These include men like Howard J. Carter, F. F. Bosworth, and most importantly Kenneth E. Hagin. Kenneth E. Hagin is known to have said that the things of the spirit will be lost to a generation except they are taught. This is our motivation in putting this material together. It will serve to help the Bible teacher, the Bible student, and of course, every church that is pursuing the gifts and the things of the spirit like Paul instructed in the following texts: 1st Corinthians 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way 1st Corinthians 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy... Vs 39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. So therefore, take your writing materials, sit down, relax and have a great time as we study through questions and answers on the Gifts of the Spirit. We trust that this will overwhelm your mind and be a blessing to your world. I remain Multidimensionally Yours, Chris 'Segun Onayinka.

First Corinthians by Richard B. Hays Pdf

Paul's first letter to the Corinthians was addressed originally to a fledgling mission church in Corinth. Paul's absence from the church had allowed serious problems to arise within the Corinthian community, but the problems that he addresses in this letter do not always seem based in explicitly theological ideas. The brilliance of Paul, though, is that he frames the issues in theological terms and reflects on them in the light of the gospel. Hays identifies and discusses the major theological themes of the letter, as well as issues such as community formation and the rethinking of inherited sociocultural norms and practices, and he offers Paul as a model for ministry.

Everything Is Spiritual by Rob Bell Pdf

"An exciting vision of the future" --Michael Eric Dyson Everything Is Spiritual is an unexpected and compelling invitation to see your life in a whole new way. We have the great moments of our lives, the highs, those times when we soar, when it all makes sense, when it feels like it all has purpose and meaning. And then there are all those other moments—the lows and aches and failures and struggles and experiences that leave us wondering what the point of it all is. Are our lives ultimately bits and pieces and fragments—you try to find a little peace and hope and then it’s over? Or is there more going on here? In our increasingly polarized and disoriented world, Everything Is Spiritual gives us a radical new take on how it all fits together, how it works, how it’s all connected. Part memoir, part extended riff on the quantum nature of reality, part history of the universe, Rob Bell takes us back through the twists and turns and struggles of his story in order to help us see the larger story so that we can reconnect with our story.

Keep in Step with the Spirit (second edition) by J I Packer Pdf

Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit (Galatians 5:25). The Holy Spirit empowers us, guides us, and enables us to grow and endure in our relationship with the Father through Jesus Christ.

Packer guides us through the riches and depth of the Spirit s work, assesses versions of holiness and the charismatic life, and shows how Christ must always be at the centre of true Spirit-led ministry. A new chapter explores Christian assurance. With abiding relevance and significance, Keep in Step with the Spirit sets forth vital knowledge for healthy and joyous Christian living, through understanding and experience of God the Holy Spirit. Here is a book for every serious believer to read and re-read.
