If this book does not shake you up, we will have failed in our task. The Sermon on the Mount on which it is based shook people to their very core. It rattled the cages. It sent shock waves through the crowds. Every defender of the status quo surely found most of it to be dangerous. That sermon and this book are not about a mild injection of religion, but about a radical, from the inisde-out change of heart, character and priorities. The challenge here will produce tremors into your life, but if you embrace the summons, you will find something people only dream about.

In this thoughtfully researched, playful commentary, Jennifer Garcia Bashaw illuminates the theological world of the Gospel According to John and explores what we might learn about Jesus when we are attentive to the text.

But it is through her creative approach to narrative criticism that Bashaw uncover Jesus as the author of John's Gospel understood him.If you want to learn more about this unique Gospel and the Jesus it portrays, this book is for you. Join Jennifer as she skilfully guides you through the depth and drama of the Fourth Gospel.

Managing money is not just a technical exercise, but a spiritual discipline. There is an active power behind money which Jesus unmasked and called 'mammon.' He told his followers in strong terms that, "You cannot serve both God and Mammon."We all manage money on a daily basis. Jesus is saying that mammon is a power behind money which wants to lead us away from God's ways of handling money. How does mammon affect our financial decisions? How can the influence of mammon be overcome? How can we use our money in a way that God would want us to?This book is all about managing our money wisely. The monkey is 'mammon,' a tricky, unruly creature who is constantly seeking to destroy our relationship with God and our neighbour!Money, mammon & the monkey uses the parable of Jesus, told in Luke, chapter 16 and verses 1 to 15, called in many translations 'The Unjust Steward.' This book will explain how his master called the steward 'shrewd,' and how we can deal 'shrewdly' with money in all our daily affairs.

Most readers of the Bible associate the prophets, as messengers of God, with the Old Testament. God sent them to encourage the Israelites to follow His commandments-or reprimand them when they didn't. And some of them made predictions about the future-that God would send a Savior-the Messiah-to save humanity from its sinfulness and usher in the Kingdom of God.But what about the New Testament? Yes, we know so much about the Twelve Apostles and their central place in the ministry of Jesus, but were there prophets in the New Testament as well? Turns out that there were quite a few, and the roles they played may have been much more multifaceted than serving only as messengers. Are you familiar with Anna and Agabus? How about Silas, Manaen and Lucius? The list goes on and on-and these prophets (and the roles they played) may be one of the best kept secrets in the New Testament! So take a look at what these unsung hand-picked servants of the Lord have to offer!

This engaging study reflects the growing interest in the relationship of John's Gospel the Roman imperial context in which it was composed. It begins and ends with quotations from modern sources that show why the question might be of more than historical interest. The first quotation is from the Barmen Declaration of 1934, in which Christian leaders who resisted the advances of Nazism pointed to the lordship of Christ over the claims of the state (p. xi). The final quotation is from Pope Pius XI, who in 1925 affirmed Christ's lordship in the wake of cultural currents that removed modern nation states from the claims of the higher authority of God (p. 185). The problems raised by conflicts between the claims of human government and those of Christian faith provide an important reason to consider what these meant for early Christians, including those for whom John's Gospel was written.

As you examine the often messed-up church remember problems in the church aren't new - they began early in church history. John the apostle in Revelation noted the state of the early church in chapters 2 and 3.Instead of learning from the past and correcting its errors, churches often invent new methods of division, ruin its witness, and generally present a poor image of Christ.If you've wondered why and how the church focuses on everything but ministry, then Paul's letter to the Corinthians reminds you you're not alone - the church experienced divisions and lost focus in the first century; Paul's words remain as valuable today for the modern church as they did for the Corinthians.

Conozco muy pocas personas que viven de acuerdo a aquello en lo que creen y que lo hacen con una convicción tal, que parece que son una fuerza viva del universo, así es Haydee. Es difícil resumir en tan pocas palabras lo que veo en ella, esa capacidad que tiene de levantarse una y otra vez, esa visión que tiene de la vida tan poco usual y de su papel en ella. Esa fe con la que se entrega a los brazos de Dios y esa bendita forma que tiene de meterse en el corazón. Cabe destacar que, con este escrito, no dejo ver la tremenda mujer, madre, amiga y ser humano que es, pero sobre todo, temo que usted que me lee, no encuentre en este corto escrito todo lo que en ella encuentro yo.

The battle is on. Tensions are high. The army of darkness and light are constantly warring for the win, and all the chaos can make us want to stay home and just pray for Jesus to return and get us out of this world. But what if hiding and hoping it all just goes away isn't what God wants us to do? What if when Jesus ascended and sent down His Holy Spirit, He wanted to not only comfort and help us, but clothe us with His power and authority to take back ground the enemy has stolen? In this study we're going to learn how to wear the 'armor of light' and see victory in every area of our life and out in the world. It's time to shine, radiant warrior, and dethrone the darkness-Jesus has already done it, we just need to learn to apply His victory and walk it out.

Each chapter of A Word from His Word focuses on a single word or phrase from a short biblical passage. By returning to a simple but effective approach to Bible reading, your daily time will be invigorated.Philemon and Titus were written by St. Paul about situations that arose in the churches of Colossae and Crete respectively. Although short, considered too brief by some to hold theological weight, they are in fact packed with practical lessons.Philemon concerns the return of a runaway slave who, after his flight for freedom, became a Christian. This personal letter paints a picture of Paul as a compassionate and gracious apostle, speaks of the slave's courage and calls for honour and integrity from his master.Titus, a letter which contains some similar themes, serves as a primer for young Christian leaders. Titus was to draw out from the Cretan church those who had been stamped by the grace of Christ and had the aura of saltiness that comes from His seasoning.Both letters hold salient lessons for us today. We pray that as you read this edition of A Word from His Word, the readings will inspire you according to their original purpose, enriching you with the fullness of Christ's grace.

Poniendo a Pablo dentro del mundo de la epoca helenista judia y griega, este libro examina su nuevo mensaje sobre la posicion preeminente del espiritu en su doctrina sobre las virtudes. La pregunta central es ¿como el concepto del espiritu se hace la fuente principal de todas las virtudes cristianas en la vida ordinaria de los judios y gentiles creyentes, y como se refleja en sus cartas? El libro examina las siete cartas indiscutibles de Pablo e ilustra la ensenanza fundamental del poder del espiritu en la adquisicion de las virtudes y la evitacion de los vicios. De hecho, se da un enfasis a las virtudes y vicios reflejadas en cada una de las siete cartas. Tambien investiga como la vida de los creyentes en la comunidad cristiana fluye del Espiritu recibido de Dios. El libro ofrece al lector un estudio completo del entendimiento del termino espiritu en las tradiciones helenista judias y griegas dando un enfoque a la manera como Pablo usa el lenguaje filosofico en su exhortacion etica, un lenguaje que probablemente habria sido comun para muchos de sus oyentes gentiles creyentes, con el fin de ofrecer un entendimiento persuasivo de su exhortacion a la vida virtuosa.

On April 11, 2101, Isaac Silberman passed away of a heart attack. He was known as a chaplain, pastor and theologian and died two weeks before his 100th birthday. His acolyte, Gregory Stone, arrived three days later to legally identify the body. What happened next was miraculous; Isaac returned to life and began receiving visions from God. Like the prophets of old, his mission was to pass on the word of God to all types of people, from the person on the street to world leaders; to prepare them all for the end of time.

Miracles happened to my familyBy John ChungJesus frequently emphasized the importance of faith when performing miracle statingLuke17:19 "Your faith has made you well "Miracles are profound expression of God's love and power, demonstrating his involvement in human affairs.

Many times occurred to our family but clearly recognized miracle happened to us seven times. i love to share my experience with reader of this book

"It is a commentary with two parallel goals: to read Revelation as literature and to read Revelation theologically. This double interpretative focus has a number of entailments, which I will outline in this introduction. Revelation bears repeated witness to Christ as 'the coming one.' He is the Son of Man who comes on the clouds of heaven (1.7 cf. Dan 7.13), the one who warns the seven churches that he will come to them (2.5, 16, 25; 3.3, 11, 20), and the who closes the book with his thrice-repeated promise 'I am coming soon' (22.7, 12, 20). Again, whatever this 'soon' means, we must not attempt simply to plot it on the chronology of this world but seek to understand it with the life of God who is 'the coming one,' who came in the incarnation of Jesus, comes to us now by the Spirit, and will come again as sovereign of the world"
