Playing Time Against God by Theresa L. Avalos Pdf

Playing Time Against God is the compilation of experiences in the call to unite the excitement and the hardships of being human in a world of beauty and a world of strife, alongside her brethren in understanding the world. In realizing that it is a choice to live in Love over fear, gratitude over regret and discovery over apathy, her journey reveals a host of scattered emotions and complicated feelings. The ecstasy of joy and the anguish of pain, the distorted thinking, dissatisfaction and revelations she encounters in the fourteen years of her writing that lead to the conscious decision to live for the sake of love, and search for truth. These poems became necessary for her, for she found her voice lies in the melody of ideals, beliefs and theories portrayed in her poetry. Her light and darkness are depicted in her quest to know her true heart and soul that has been let loose inside of the pages.

The Things of Earth by Joe Rigney Pdf

God’s world is full of good things. Ice-cold lemonade. The laughter of children. College football. Scrambled eggs and crispy bacon. A late night with old friends around a blazing campfire. God certainly knows how to give good gifts to his children. But where is the line when it comes to enjoying all the pleasurable things our world affords? In The Things of Earth, professor Joe Rigney offers perplexed Christians a breath of fresh air by lifting the burden of false standards and impossible expectations related to the Christian life—freeing readers to gratefully embrace every good thing we receive from the hand of God. Helping us avoid our tendency to forget the Giver on the one hand and neglect his gifts on the other, this much-needed book reminds us that God’s blessings should drive us to worship and that a passion for God’s glory can be as wide as the world itself.

Wasting Time on God by Paulo Bittencourt Pdf

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “The best books about Atheism are the ones written by Paulo Bittencourt, because, unlike Richard Dawkings, Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris, who have never been religious, he was raised Evangelical, studied Theology and, therefore, speaks from experience.” (D. Barker) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “Arguments so radically thorough, sharp and damning that they baffle even some atheists and make them feel like defending religious people.” (M. Shermer) Among theological, philosophical and historical arguments, in Wasting Time on God Paulo Bittencourt, who was a devout Adventist, active in the church, a Theology student and almost became a pastor, reveals the reasons why he doesn’t believe in invisible beings, including the celestial ones, and undoubtedly demonstrates that Atheism is the only intellectually honest stance. Do you have faith in God? Is it unshakable? How do you know, if you don’t put it to the test? Read this book to the end. If it doesn’t make you doubt any of the things you believe, nothing else will. It will be proven that you really stand firm in the faith. Topics covered: Allah, Atheism, Bible, Christianity, Adventist, Baptist, Catholic, Evangelical, Pentecostal Church, Communism, Devil, Evolution, Freethought, God, Gospel, Heaven, Hell, Islam, Jesus, Judaism, Mohammed, Philosophy, Protestantism, Satan, Science, Skepticism, Socialism, etc. Paulo Bittencourt was born in Castro, Brazil, spent his childhood in Rio de Janeiro and studied Theology in São Paulo. Close to becoming a pastor, he went on an adventure to Europe and ended up settling in Austria. The book Ethics, by Bento de Espinosa (Baruch Spinoza), turned him into a naturalist, humanist and freethinker. Paulo Bitencourt dedicates his life to helping people liberate themselves from religion. Paulo Bittencourt is the author also of the books Liberated from Religion and Com Zeus Não Se Brinca (Zeus Is Not to Be Played With). “I don’t want to believe, I want to know.” — Paulo Bittencourt Visit: tinyurl.com/free-thought

Playing God by Andy Crouch Pdf

With Playing God, Andy Crouch opens the subject of power, elucidating its subtle activity in our relationships and institutions. He gives us much more than a warning against abuse, though.

On God, Space, and Time by Akiva Vroman Pdf

For Akiva Jaap Vroman "a day in the infinite past" is nonsense. All the days that have elapsed belong to a past of countable days; they started on a first day a finite number of days ago. Time began this first day. It follows that an eternal past does not exist. Vroman bases his reasoning on a simple mathematical law: an infinite quantity remains the same infinite quantity if a finite quantity, however large, is subtracted from it. On God, Space, and Time devotes itself to this proof.On God, Space, and Time is rooted in the epistemological thinking of Immanuel Kant and Jean Piaget and the law of Leucippus, and draws from the somewhat disparate fields of psychology, physiology, mathematics, and physics.

Level Up Your Time with God by Patrick DA Sims Pdf

Why level up your time with God? The latest stats say 65 percent of adults in America play video games, and we all know kids who play video games as well, but there come issues with that. We've all been told that video games are no good at one point or another, or some of us are the ones who've said it. The media talks about violence caused by games, and many churches and parents talk about them being mental garbage. But how much of that is true? Are video games fundamentally different than spending time with God, or can they actually be something that helps our relationship with God? What if our games could be something that helps us know God more instead of being something that distracts us from God to the point we either feel guilty thinking about God or we just leave the church altogether? What if you, as a gamer, could read something that connects games to God in a meaningful way? What if you-as a parent, grandparent, spouse, or friend of a gamer-could read something that answers your worries and shows just how much of God is in this stuff? We don't have to wonder. We can love video games and still choose God. You just need to Level Up Your Time with God.

God's End Time Moves by Ida ZaraGrace Iyen-Aghedo Pdf

God’s End-Time Moves is as much about the outpouring of God’s Holy Spirit as it is about the affirmation of His Truth and Word, both of which shall touch down everywhere on earth. This book is a work of the End-Time Prophetic Mission, to show in what direction the Lord God of All Creation will be leading the world and, even more so, the Church. God is set to show in every way that the world is not in place by accident, and the Spirit of God will appear to walk on two feet while still being solidly Spirit. In His mercy and grace, God always allows an adequate period of preparation so that no one will be caught unaware, except by personal choice. God’s End-Time Moves, therefore, is His wakeup call!

Of Games and God by Kevin Schut Pdf

Video games are big business, generating billions of dollars annually. The long-held stereotype of the gamer as a solitary teen hunched in front of his computer screen for hours is inconsistent with the current makeup of a diverse and vibrant gaming community. The rise of this cultural phenomenon raises a host of questions: Are some games too violent? Do they hurt or help our learning? Do they encourage escapism? How do games portray gender? Such questions have generated lots of talk, but missing from much of the discussion has been a Christian perspective. Kevin Schut, a communications expert and an enthusiastic gamer himself, offers a lively, balanced, and informed Christian evaluation of video games and video game culture. He expertly engages a variety of issues, encouraging readers to consider both the perils and the promise of this major cultural phenomenon. The book includes a foreword by Quentin J. Schultze.
