Fomum apporte une réponse aux nombreuses interrogations que se posent souvent les chrétiens, concernant soit leur propre progrès spirituel, soit le progrès spirituel des autres croyants.

Rise above, get through, leave behind, and rid yourself of the spirit of heaviness, pain, loneliness, forlornness, physical tiredness, physical weakness, or whatever feelings take from you your joy, peace, love, contentment, security, and movement towards your destiny.Defy the weight of grief that hangs like a millstone around your neck. This is the story of my journey through mourning. Others have different perspectives and circumstances as they experienced anguish. But if my battle through sorrow can help anyone overcome theirs, then I feel I have accomplished God's will. Solace may be found in my words, not only for those who have lost a beloved through death but also through divorce. A void is left behind in both; but by the love and power of God, it can be removed. Christ can/has set you free.

L'année dernière, j'ai fait un séjour d'un mois dans l'une des grandes puissances du monde. Il est dit que la population de ce pays est constituée à vingt-cinq pour cent de Chrétiens. Oui, la prétention est que, une personne sur quatre est née de nouveau.Il m'a aussi été dit que le taux de divorce montait en flèche. Un ministre de l'Evangile m'a même dit que le taux de divorce parmi les croyants était tout aussi élevé que parmi les non-croyants.Il m'a été dit que des ministres-dirigeants de l'Evangile étaient en train de divorcer d'avec leurs femmes et d'en épouser d'autres tout en continuant à avoir les bénédictions de Dieu sur leurs grands ministères.Ceci m'a fait réfléchir ! Etaient-ils en train d'utiliser une Bible différente de la mienne? Etions-nous dans différentes religions?Je commençai à réfléchir sérieusement sur ce sujet. Je lus et relus les Ecritures.Tu trouveras dans les pages qui suivent le fruit de mon étude.Que Dieu te bénisse pendant que tu lis ce livre.

Nowadays the inclusion of hymns, chants and sequences in Eucharistic worship is a well-established and much-loved feature of liturgical celebration that we tend to take for granted. How this came about is the subject of this present fascinating study in which John Blakesley guides us through the growth and development of chant, office hymns, sequences and tropes and their increased use in the Church of the Middle Ages.St Ambrose is credited with introducing hymns into the Western Church in the fourth century, and over the next five centuries hymns in his style were the only legitimate form of liturgical poetry. The revival of learning in the Carolingian period led to an outburst of creativity in the writing of tropes and sequences to be sung at Mass. Though opposed by some churchmen, these non-biblical embellishments were defended by Walafrid, the gentle Abbot of Reichenau, who saw that the inclusion of sung poetry could help reinforce the truths of the Gospel.The greatest exponent of the early sequence was a ninth-century monk from Saint Gall, known as Notker 'the Stammerer', and many examples of his output are included here in translation. Notker's work is contrasted with the more naively exuberant output of the Winchester school and the elaborate biblical typology of the Victorines of Paris, whose sequences are like intricate mosaics of scriptural imagery. The Victorines' interest in contemplative ecstasy was to influence the Rhineland visionaries: the distinctive genius of St Hildegard of Bingen and the liturgical visions of her friend Elisabeth of Schönau. Medieval Christians had a strong sense of the Communion of Saints; their earthly worship really did take place 'with Angels and Archangels' and shared in the worship of Heaven. Nourished through liturgy, poetry, and the visual arts, the roots of this imagery are in the biblical texts used to enrich liturgical celebration and to foster devotion.That the dramatic symbolism of the liturgy could make the events of the Gospel vividly present to the worshipper's mind and heart, is fully demonstrated in this book through translations of poetry inspired by late medieval devotion to the Lord's Passion and Death, the Resurrection and the opening up of the Kingdom of Heaven.

We HAVE BEEN MADE FREE from sin! Jesus' death on the cross freed the saints from both the penalty and the power of sin. All sins have been paid, and by God's grace, all the power for victory has already been made available. We must learn to reckon it so, as God does, in order to walk in that freedom. But wait, I'm not that bad, am I? Operating in the swamp of the flesh is not just debauchery, drunkenness, or adultery; one can be carnal when doing household tasks, eating a meal, watching a game, at church, or anywhere doing anything! Learning to recognize the operation of "the law of sin" in the flesh and how it affects one's thoughts, emotions, attitudes, and behavior is necessary to live as a spiritual man, glorifying God and enjoying the benefits of "all spiritual blessings in the heavenlies."

In this volume, Ernest seeks to establish the similarities in the calling of the two Phinehases referenced in scripture as priests of the Most High God and their differing perspectives in pursuing their callings. One served God, while the other served his belly and innate desires. One sought eternity, and the other sought the ephemeral. One laboured for hope for his people, but the other for self-satisfaction.Phinehas: The Javelin and the Flesh-hook is a timely wake-up call, particularly to those who bear the truth of the Word of God for the redemption and deliverance of the people. A very intriguing narrative, a must-read!

The thoughts you have when you're depressed come from the devil. And the good news for you is that the devil is a liar.Do you feel weighed down all the time? Perhaps, although you are a Christian and know you're going to heaven, your spiritual life seems mediocre at best. You know the Bible says to rejoice always, and you'd like to be living joyfully, but you just don't know how.In this sequel to How to Be Free from Bitterness, Jim Wilson returns to talk about how to deal with (and get rid of) depression, feelings of guilt, and problems with self-esteem. Many Christians feel like they are enslaved these sins, like there is no way out. But this is not true. The truth is that Christ has freed us from the penalty of sin and the power of sin. If you are a Christian, you are already free. Depression, guilt, low self-esteem-whatever your problem is, it can be put to death. "And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free" (John 8:32).

Die Geschichte der Täuferbewegung fasziniert. In den Wirren der Reformationszeit lebten ihre Anhänger zwischen den Fronten und entwickelten eigene Ideen. Es ging ihnen nicht nur um eine Erneuerung des Glaubens. Sie wollten auch Wege finden, in einer von Macht und Bevormundung geprägten Gesellschaft christliches Leben praktisch zu gestalten.Glaubens und Gewissensfreiheit, Trennung von Kirche und Staat, Gewaltfreiheit - das sind für uns heute keine Tabu-Themen. Derartige Anliegen brachten den Täufern aber schwerste Verfolgung ein. Sehr viele bezahlten dies mit ihrem Leben. Dies traurige Schicksal traf auch die Halberstädter Täufer. Dabei verdanken wir gerade ihrer Bewegung viele Anstöße zu Entwicklungen von denen wir heute ganz selbstverständlich profitieren.Speziell über die Täufer von Halberstadt ist bisher zu wenig bekannt. Ihr Schicksal ist aber typisch für die damalige Zeit der kirchlichen Machtspiele. Für den interessierten Leser bietet sich ein Einblick in die Stadt- und Zeitgeschichte vor 500 Jahren.

Our Lord will most certainly return one day, and when He does, it will be glory for all those in Christ. No wonder the Bible tells Christians, "Fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ" (1 Peter 1:13). But how can we fix our hope on something that has been muddled by influential, but careless, teaching? In this book that is both pastoral and academic, Don Green will lead you into the reassuring expectation that is the birthright of every true believer in Christ.

Built as the first Christian showpiece, the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore graces Rome's highest promontory, the Esquiline Hill. With its exterior beauty and its interior mosaics, the Basilica was meant to bestow upon the Eternal City of Rome a new, Christian aspect. The foundation of this new beginning is Jesus Christ who now reigns over the Imperial City and the globe instead of the earlier pagan goddess Roma. He is not solely a man like all the former Roman emperors, but the son of the Eternal God. The Basilica defies the bishop of Constantinople, Nestorius, who had publicly expressed doubts about the divinity of the man Jesus.
