Kristendommen: liv og lære

No hace falta decir que Cristo es central para el cristianismo. La mayoría de los cristianos saben que Él es el medio por el cual Dios trae de nuevo a los seres humanos a la comunión consigo mismo. También pueden ser conscientes de que Cristo es nuestro sustituto y garantía, nuestra justicia y nuestro modelo y ejemplo de vida. Lo que quizás no sepan es que, como el "segundo Adán" sin pecado, Cristo se ha convertido en la nueva cabeza de la raza humana y que, al dejar este mundo, envió su Espíritu para completar el proceso de adopción para todos los que lo reciben (Gál. 4:6, 7). Y lo que quizás tampoco sepan es que Cristo también es nuestro Juez Maravilloso, lo cual es una noticia alentadora que se dirige hacia el juicio final. Alan Freed describe las funciones de Cristo en la redención humana, cómo el santuario bíblico prefiguró el camino de la reconciliación con Dios y lo que el creyente debe hacer para cooperar con Jesús cuando termine su ministerio en el santuario celestial. Advierte sobre un camino peligroso promovido por una unión religiosa de tres partes que ha declarado muerto el protestantismo, y ofrece información para seguir y permanecer en el camino que nos llevará a casa con Dios. "Acabo de terminar de leer el manuscrito de Allan Freed, Our Wonderful Judge. En mi humilde opinión, es alimento a su debido tiempo. Es bíblicamente equilibrado y completo, dada su breve extensión. Es fiel a las perspectivas y los escritos de Ellen White. Yo, u otros, pueden haber optado por matizar ciertos conceptos de manera diferente, pero la escritura refleja un estudio cuidadoso y una aplicación en oración, por lo que oro para que sea una lectura amplia en la temporada crítica de la inminente lluvia tardía. 'Aún así, ven Señor Jesús'." - Dwight Nelson, Pastor, Pioneer Memorial Church.

Emma Curtis Hopkins' Metaphysik für das 21. JahrhundertEmma Curtis Hopkins war die "Lehrerin der Lehrer", die Frau, die die Gründer von Unity, Divine Science, Church of Truth und Religious Science unterrichtete - die Frau, die in den 1890er Jahren den Begriff "Wissenschaft des Geistes" erfand. Sie heilte Hunderte und lehrte Tausende, wobei sie ihre eigene "Argumentationslinie" und ihre "Vision nach oben" nutzte, um sie zu ermächtigen."Die heutigen Studenten der Metaphysik haben nur einen kleinen Teil des Verständnisses erhalten, das Emma bot. Mit diesem Buch werden sowohl ihre Prinzipien als auch ihre Praktiken einem modernen Publikum zugänglich gemacht. Miller hat Emmas viktorianische Rhetorik in eine klare, moderne Sprache "übersetzt" und Emmas Empfehlungen für die tägliche Praxis ausführlich dargestellt.Die zwölf Lektionen der Wissenschaft der Metaphysik sind allesamt Ideen: Ideen mit lebendigen Bedeutungen. In dieser Wissenschaft klammern wir uns nicht an irgendwelche Ideen, denn wenn wir an eine Vorstellung gebunden sind, dass wir die ganze Welt auf eine bestimmte Weise sehen möchten, können wir genauso gut an einen Pfahl gebunden sein. Atme die alten Ideen aus und atme Beschreibungen von allem ein, worüber du dich freust. Du wirst dich über die Vorstellungen von deiner Welt erheben, dich von ihnen befreien. Du wirst dich sogar über die Idee der Freiheit erheben, da sie Unfreiheit impliziert und du weder frei noch gebunden bist, sondern über dieser Ebene stehst. Ihr seid ihr weder überlegen noch unterlegen, sondern jenseits - denn der Geist verfängt sich nie an den Haken irgendeiner Idee. Im Geist sind sie alle gut. Ideen werden aus dem Geist geboren. Der Geist ist Gott.

Framed within the lens of Robert Greenleaf's Servant Leadership model, Truth and Reconciliation examines and explores trends through global historical accounts and examples of diplomatic leadership surrounding the Truth and Reconciliation Commissions of South Africa and Canada, as a guide to approach America's divided identity and racial tensions. Through the wisdom and diplomacy illustrated during the transition of a South African nation defined by legal racial segregation of apartheid to democracy, as well as a Canadian national identity deeply scarred through the cultural genocide of generations of First Nations children and families through the abusive Residential School system and the Sixties Scoop, it is the hope that this manuscript will offer insights as well as a theological lens for reflection to approach a nonviolent narrative-based option of seeking truth and the first steps toward reconciliation, beyond cyclic ideologies. By highlighting the historical parallels between South Africa, Canada, and America, this manuscript serves as a conversation starter, offering reflective stories and activities to help establish an initial dialogue in a nation whose consciousness remains deeply rooted in unresolved cultural conflict from Indigenous genocide as well as the residual deep cultural challenges and stereotypes of American slavery ideology and practices.

Who were the Shepherds of Bethlehem, who were the first to see the Holy Child? This book attempts to bring them into the world as living witnesses, not one dimensional characters.

Our actions and reactions in life come from the core of who we are - our heart. It drives us every day, either towards good or bad. We can't deny or hide who we are. God is after our heart. He wants our heart to depend on Him and desire His truth. We all need to ask ourselves:- How willing am I to allow God to transform my heart?- Am I willing to let go of any blockers that stand in the way of God's transformation in me?If we are willing to change, then we will be open to see the role of our heart in a new way. As we understand God's relationship to our heart, we are able to grow and to live out the destiny that He has for us.

Whenever humans are going through difficult times, they should realize that God is always ready to rescue them from their predicaments. However, humans have short memories; they soon forget how bad things were for them before God's rescue. Therefore, instead of moving closer to God, they perceive a smaller problem as being bigger than the ones from which God had saved them. God is always faithful, and He never changes at all. He expects all to put their trust in Him since He is able and eager to solve human problems according to His will. The Lord is great, and so is His faithfulness. God demonstrated His great love to all humans that he allowed His son to be sacrificed to save them all. Christ gave so much importance to human life that He gave His own life to save theirs. Therefore, there should be nothing to hold humans back from doing His will or from achieving the best that God has in store for all.

His reflections will have you affirming with him that God is trustworthy--that a good God is telling a good story that will have a good ending.

Reclaiming Men's Spirituality is a study that investigates men's spirituality by exploring three research questions: Can a form of spirituality about men be identified and described, how can this spirituality be examined, and what is it that needs to be reclaimed? To answer these questions and at the same time remain committed to the importance of lived experience, this study opted to investigate the lives of men by attending to ten spiritual histories. The study is situated in Malta, and the ten spiritual histories provide access to various features, expressions, and contours that relate closely to men's being. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted with ten spiritual directors who have men as spiritual directees. Their contribution clarifies the structure of men's spirituality, the effort required when directing male spiritual directees and the impact generated in the lives of men thanks to spiritual direction. To provide a frame of reference for the examination of all the gathered data, John of the Cross's spiritual framework has been chosen as the mystical instrument against which men's spiritualities are studied, leading to richer insights into the operations, motives, goals, and problems of such spiritualities.

This book will give you real everyday "parables" to give you a deeper revelation of scripture and what that looks like in your day-to-day life. You will put this book down, knowing that you are a child of the living King, and you are to represent Him in all aspects of your life.

Whether you are a millennial or not, my stories of my upbringing and principles that I have learned along the way will assist in making the Bible real in your everyday life.The asterisk indicates that something was spelled wrong, and correction was made. Therefore, having the asterisk before "his" indicates that the correct way to refer to God the Father is with an uppercase letter. This concept came about by coming to the realization that God, at times, is not first in our lives and that we need to give Him His throne back in our lives.You will know that you are His and He is yours.

Mom claims she was woken in the middle of the night with God whispering the name of my book, "Going Forward" without even knowing what I was writing about. I trusted and went with it. Trusting requires complete dependence upon God for direction, purpose, fulfillment and strength to follow His plans for our lives.In order to continue "Going Forward" one has to be an overcomer. Overcomers are followers of Christ who successfully resist the power and temptation of the world's system. An overcomer is not sinless but holds fast to faith in Christ until the end. He does not turn away when times get difficult. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways submit to Him and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

We all face challenges as we travel through life, and Christians are no exception. As you read the pages of Travelling Light, you will find that these short devotionals will inspire, challenge and draw you closer to God. The author, Adele Huntington, has written them out of her own personal experiences of sensing God speaking to her in various ways- a beautiful scene, a life experience, or during her daily quiet time, when a word or concept has stood out and she has felt challenged to do some heart-searching in her own life. These devotionals cover a variety of themes, such as: trusting God in difficult situations, weak faith, experiencing God's love, facing fear, finding His strength in our weakness and sharing our faith. Many of these topics reoccur in fresh ways because, as the author has experienced herself, as we travel through life, we are always learning and needing to be reminded of God's promises. Readers are encouraged not to rush on to the next devotional, but to take time to reflect, listen to what God might be saying to them, and to discover the joy of travelling light through life with Jesus.The theme of each devotional is enhanced by a photograph taken from the author's travels, or everyday life experiences. The photos add an extra dimension to the message and also make the book a lovely gift to give to a friend.

Im interdisziplinären Zusammenhang lässt sich in jüngerer Zeit eine Art "Wiederkehr der Rache" beobachten - Versuche, Rache oder Vergeltung zu rehabilitieren und anthropologisch zu verankern. Lisanne Teuchert arbeitet geistesgeschichtlich drei Ebenen dieser Umbewertung heraus: Emotionen, Überzeugungen und Praktiken. Dort nimmt die Arbeit jeweils konkrete Entwicklungen in den Blick: 1) den "emotional turn" und die Neubewertung von aggressiven Emotionen in der Sozial- und Moralphilosophie, 2) die Renaissance des Retributivismus in der Strafrechtstheorie und 3) den Bedeutungsgewinn von Praktiken ("practice turn") und die Herausarbeitung eines "sozialen Sinns" von rächend-vergeltenden Praktiken in der Verhaltensforschung, in der Ethnologie und im Reziprozitätsdiskurs. In allen drei Teilen wird der aktuelle Fachdiskurs pointiert zusammengefasst, bevor aus spezifisch theologischer Perspektive darauf reagiert wird. Zwischen einer Geschichte der Dämonisierung einerseits und der neuerlichen Verteidigung andererseits nimmt die Verfasserin einen theologischen Standort ein, der auf die Ambivalenz aller Zwischenmenschlichkeit verweist. Eine echt interdisziplinäre, hochaktuelle Studie, die gleichzeitig theologische Position bezieht.
