Stories, examples, parables, metaphors, and humor support the sixty three reflections on bibilical texts from the Revised Common Lectionary. The author uses a "theme approach," addressing issues and questions sometimes overlooked in preaching, balancing private, personal spirituality with the social and corporate.Open-minded and ecumenical in tone, ULU reflects the theology of one firmly planted in the Wesleyan tradition, where scripture, tradition, experience, and reason insist upon openness to the new things that God is doing, and where believers seek to work actively for the transformation of creation according to the values and the vision of the realm of God.Twenty original monochrome photos by the author are distributed between chapters.AUTHOR¿S INTRODUCTION"I¿m convinced that the Gospel enters our experience with the most sharpness and clarity at the points of the pain and passion of our life-encounters. As a comfortable middle-class, straight, white male American Christian, I¿ve had virtually everything to learn from the people to whom I¿ve been "sent." Experiences in the Philippines and Pacific Islands, those while working with the World Hunger Emphasis of The United Methodist Church, and while assigned to ecumenical organizations, have had profound impact upon my faith and my approach to Bible study and worship preparation. Serving as pastor of congregations that openly welcomed gay and lesbian persons into a full participation have extended this experience."I¿m also convinced that the Gospel most powerfully enters the experience of those to whom we¿ve been sent when it speaks practical hope to vulnerabilities and pain. At their best, and as they were intended to be, ministries of service are a vital, integral part of the task of evangelization, which not only involves preaching Good News, but BEING Good News. Preaching and "reflecting" are meaningless without serious engagement with real life!"The simplest of traditional cultures to which I was introduced have helped me in my spiritual journey. As a Filipino anthropologist friend said after spending some weeks with the so-called "Lost Tribe," the Tasaday, in South Cotabato, "We¿ll not realize how much we have to learn from them until we admit to what we ourselves have lost.""My friends in traditional/indigenous cultures have made me more sensitive to deeper meanings in stories and parables. Perhaps they¿re more aware than we so-called "educated folk" that this is how we transmit our culture and values. It¿s in the stories where we find the greatest richness of the Bible, in both the old and New Testaments. Jesus constantly taught through story, parable, and metaphor. Taking a shallow, literal approach to these causes us to miss the many layers of meanings and themes which the writers intended to be addressed. While stories may not prove something, they illustrate something, and they carry their own conviction. It¿s up to us to incorporate them into our insight and understanding."Hearing the stories of others has put me in closer touch with my own. May mine do the same for you!"

Living Life God's Way is a biblical, devotional study of many of the Psalms. It is a companion book to the Study Guide of the same title. The present format follows a simple pattern of a brief introduction to the Psalm, a working summary of the contents of the Psalm, and then some reflective study notes. There is usually an "application" section with general practical suggestions as to how to apply the teaching to everyday life and thought. This selected study is a result of over forty years in Christian leadership and ministry.

Nouvelle édition en grands caractères avec une mise en page optimisée afin de faciliter la lecture.La nuit obscure de l'âme, aussi appelée nuit de la foi, est une épreuve spirituelle consistant à ne plus sentir la présence de Dieu dans la vie d'un croyant. Cette expérience est un phénomène traversé parmi les plus grands saints et mystiques chrétiens, plusieurs d'entre eux ayant témoigné avoir ressenti l'absence de Dieu pendant une période plus ou moins longue de leur vie, comme Thérèse de Lisieux et Mère Teresa. Loin d'être négative, cette période de crise, de doutes, d'obscurité spirituelle permet de purger l'âme de ses défauts et de l'enrichir, de la disposer à l'union du Parfait amour avec Dieu. De nombreux chrétiens sont ou seront confrontés au cours de leur existence à cette perte de foi. Ils pourront être tentés alors d'abandonner la vie mystique. Ce magnifique texte de saint Jean de la Croix leur rappelle que le silence de Dieu est le don suprême de Dieu à sa créature. C'est quand l'âme épuisée a cessé d'attendre Dieu, quand le malheur extérieur ou la sécheresse intérieure lui a fait croire que Dieu n'est pas une réalité, si néanmoins elle continue à aimer, si elle a horreur des biens qui prétendent le remplacer, c'est alors que Dieu après quelque temps vient jusqu'à elle, se montre, lui parle, la touche. C'est ce que saint Jean de la Croix appelle la nuit obscure. - Simone Weil (philosophe et mystique chrétienne)

The rainbow I mention and write about in this book is strictly in context of, and in reference to, a sign of remembrance of the Covenant God made with humanity. In no means is it referring to anything other than the rainbow that God Himself has set in the clouds. (Genesis 9:13) Ancient Hebrew alphabetical letters, numbers, and colors found in Scripture have meaning(s) for the divine purpose of Father God. They all reflect the love of Father God for us; the love of Christ Jesus for Father God and us; and the love and divine purpose of Holy Spirit within us. Everything I have written is a result of my personal growth regarding the mysteries in Scripture I have asked Father God about. This latest mystery fascinates me even more than my original question of Why do I envision numbers in color and colors with numbers? This new mystery has extended my research time to nearly two and a half years. Time well spent for I have found the mystery of the gospel of Jesus as: THE LAMB IN GOD'S RAINBOW, PROMISE OF LIFE AND LOVE! Nanette Crapo resides in the Houston area.

"Hörensagen" enthält Predigten von Stefan Kläs, die in den Jahren 2018 bis 2020 in Düsseldorf entstanden sind und gehalten wurden.Die Texte spiegeln das intensive Bemühen um ein aktualisierendes Verstehen der biblischen Texte wider und beziehen sich darum immer wieder auf Ereignisse des Zeitgeschehens. Sie wollen "Worte zur Zeit" sein. So hat auch die aufkommende Corona-Pandemie ihre Spuren hinterlassen.

Er dit liv stadig på linje med Kristus?Jesus befaler alle at gå ud og gøre mennesker fra alle nationer til hans disciple. Befalingen er ikke kun givet til prædikanten eller evangelisten. Er du villig til at gøre andre til disciple?Eller er du frygtsom og siger: ’Det kan jeg ikke gøre’? Derek Prince siger i denne bog: ”Det er måske én af de største farer, der møder os som kristne – at være bange for at gå fremad i tro. Vi ønsker i stedet at være på den sikre side. Vi tør ikke tage den risiko”.Hvis du føler, at du ikke kan dele de gode nyheder om Jesus med dine venner eller din familie, så vil denne bog udfordre dig til at overveje din holdning. Den vil opmuntre dig til at bruge de resurser, Gud har givet dig, til at fuldføre Kristi sidste befaling.Derek Prince (1915-2003) er forfatter til mere end 50 bøger, 600 lydbånd og 110 videoer med undervisning, hvoraf mange er oversat og udgivet på mere end 100 sprog. Hans daglige radioprogram fortsætter med at berøre mennesker i hele verden.
