Kristendommen: liv og lære

L'auteur Z.T. Fomum est convaincu que la croix est au centre de la vie et du ministère du croyant. Par conséquent, chaque membre du corps de Christ devrait, d'une manière expérimentale, connaitre la croix dans sa vie, afin que le Saint Esprit puisse y agir librement.La dimension théologique de ce livre est indiscutable. L'Auteur y parlede l'héritage du rachat par la croix,de la défaite de Satan,de la foi du croyant etdu moi crucifié.Il enseigne sur le logos et le Rhéma de Dieu. Il parle de la croix et des croyants qui ont expérimenté la croix, de la domination du monde, du gagnement des âmes, de la formation des disciples, du ministère des femmes et de l'implantation d'Eglises locales.Ainsi, nous réalisons que c'est sous le grand fardeau de dire tout, ou presque tout que ce livre a été écrit. En effet, l'auteur avoue : ''...j'ai senti que j'avais la responsabilité devant le Seigneur et devant son peuple, de dire tout ce j'avais sur le c¿ur...''Ce livre est essentiel et peut faire entrer un croyant dans son héritage en Jésus Christ

A mother's love should welcome every child entering this world. For Andrea Skeeter, shame instead of joy greeted her at birth.Skeeter's profound and harrowing story, while unfamiliar to persons who may have experienced the opposite, will captivate readers nonetheless as they empathize with her struggles and rejoice in her deliverance from the crushing familial lies, deceit, and treachery that sought to destroy her infancy, childhood, and adolescence. For readers who recognize their own harsh and tragic beginnings as all too similar to Skeeter's, hope will be born anew from what can be described as nothing less than the mysterious and miraculous light of redemption that visited Andrea in the midnight of her deepest and most precarious suffering.

In an increasingly broken world filled with hate and violence, God's plan from the beginning was to save and restore the world to the glory for which he had created it. This simple plan has not changed with the evolution of sin, time, or man's rejection of his creator. Rather, God's simple twofold plan of redemption included both a commandment to love the creator with all one's heart, mind, soul, and strength, and a commandment to love one's neighbor as one's self. Neither commandment stands in isolation, for one cannot fully love others without a consuming love for God, and neither can one completely love God without a love for the neighbor created by God. The answer to hate is love; the answer to war is love; the answer to violence is love; and the answer to all of societal disfunction is love. The answer is not a commandment to like God and others, because one only likes others because of likeness. Rather, love is a choice. A choice to love what you don't like. A choice to love what you don't understand. A choice to love until the God you love sets everything right in eternity.

Drawing upon real-life stories from his extensive restorative justice work in many countries and cultures, Dr. Mark Umbreit illuminates the power we all have to make profound shifts in the troubles that rob our lives of zest, joy, meaning, and fulfillment. Using personal stories of anguish, trauma, and woundedness, Umbreit demonstrates again and again how he and others have transformed the toxicity of violation into its life-giving properties through restorative practices and facilitated dialogue.

It is painfully obvious that we are living in an era of great apostasy, and there is considerable evidence that it is about to get much darker. How many of us are truly ready for this? How many of us are desperately clinging to our relationship with God and to His Word? In this engaging and inspirational account, you will uncover powerful Biblical truths often discovered through tragedy, and ultimately through obedience, as God turns the curse into a blessing and transforms the despairing into a truly surrendered disciple. We all need to surrender. We all need to go deeper. We all need God's Word and His truth spoken into our lives. We are at a critical point in history as the Bride of Christ. God is calling His remnant "out of her," that ancient and worldly system which plagues our lives today. The end of all things is at hand, and this message is for all of God's children.

We have known our eternal brother Bill for many years and appreciate him for many reasons, not the least of which is his honesty and transparency. This book is an example for us all, forged from his daily walk with the risen Lord Jesus Christ, which pictures a living example of this relationship (so different from religion - see Matthew 7:21-23)! Brother Bill has "20-20 hindsight" from his past because of his mileage with the Lord, resulting in ever-increasing insight, wisdom, and joy even in the very midst of difficulties! A "walk" is one step at a time with eyes on the Shepherd (John 10) Who knows the way THROUGH! ~ (Former Intern Pastor Ron Sauer, Redeemer Evangelical Free Church in Milwaukee, WI, and his wife, Sue Sauer.)

Paws to ReflectEvery day God speaks to us, and sometimes His messages come in unexpected ways. He may send a message in a quiet moment, through a friend, or through a difficult experience. But, would God send a message through a foster kitten? Is it really possible that God has a message in bottle feeding, ringworm, infections, incessant mewing, and hissy kittens? He surely does!This book is filled with heartfelt stories, Bible verses, and quotations that show just how God speaks through foster experiences. Instead of coming from a voice like the roar of rushing waters, these lessons come from tiny paws.Enjoy some time cuddling with a furry friend and reflecting on God's handiwork in the lives of foster kittens and cats.

Myself as Another uniquely approaches the reality of the human person through an exploration of the writings of politicians, psychiatrists, and philosophers on the subject of personal identity and the "other." McNerney's treatment of these questions is made not on intellectual stilts, but rather with a focus on the heart of contemporary human experience in the light of God's self-revelation. Drawing deeply on the insights of Jewish, Protestant, and Catholic thinkers McNerney shows how a spirituality of unity can nourish us on "a journey to the heart of who we are.""In his new book Myself as Another Rev. Dr John McNerney confirms his reputation as a critical thinker, an outstanding writer, a significant scholar and philosopher extraordinaire. With his unique capacity to translate complex ideas into comprehensibility John explores that core human psycho-spiritual question of identity; 'Who am I'? 'Who do others say that I am'? 'How do I define myself in relation to the other'? As ever in his writing John speaks "heart to heart". He invites us into the company and profundity of eighteen seminal thinkers on the subject, guiding us gently and inexorably toward greater understanding of the dignity of the human person and the quest to preserve and respect that in all our encounters and institutions. One emerges from this erudite text wiser, kinder, edified, inspired and imbued with passionate commitment to the personhood of others.

Even in these times when scientific theory is prized above spiritual truth, people still look to the sky and wonder, "How did I really get here, and where am I going?" Many ask themselves, "Is this all there is? And if so, why have all of life's choicest possessions, achievements, relationships, pursuits, and experiences left me wanting something more?" It's time to get some answers...straight from God's Word.

Med udgangspunkt i Jesu Kristi liv og lære gennemgår Barron de vigtigste dele ved katolsk tro og kultur - fra sakramenter, tilbedelse og bøn, til Maria, apostlene og helgenerne, til en forklaring af begreber som nåde, frelse, himmel og helvede - med talrige referencer til kunst, litteratur, arkitektur, personlige historier, den hellige skrift, filosofi og historie.Forfatteren skriver: "Jeg vil tage dig med på en guidet udforskning af den katolske verden, men ikke som om det var en guidet tur i et kulturhistorisk museum.

"A profound exploration of the Bible's Christmas story that delivers surprising insights to reawaken the ancient wonder of the holiday season"--

Have you ever wanted to express your honest opinion about someone but didn't know how to do it kindly? Have you ever been hurt by someone? Do you ever wonder what motivates people to do what they do?We all know people aren't perfect, but why do we get mad when people make mistakes? We claim to appreciate differences, but there are times when we expect people to conform to our standards. As followers of Jesus, we are told that we are one, but why do we keep building walls based on our cultural differences, social issues, political views, personal ideologies, and past experiences? These divisions, along with the pain we carry and the disappointments we have experienced, can ruin relationships, harm individuals, and, most importantly, dishonor God. After the damage has been done, we sit and wonder what went wrong. Our divisions have the potential to ruin our witness to the world, and our behaviors can turn unbelievers away from ever-knowing Christ. In People Suck, God is Good, Dr. Malcolm Walls Jr. writes from a place of realism and vulnerability, bravely confronts division among people by breaking down the root causes of division, and highlights how our experiences, cultural differences, past hurts, values, and beliefs can easily separate the people of God. By using the Bible, he reveals why we must strive to grow in our faith, break down the walls of division, and work towards creating unity and authentic community with other followers of Jesus regardless of their backgrounds, beliefs, and brokenness. The insights shared by Dr. Walls will help people go deeper in their personal faith journey and inspire the pursuit of unity in Christ for abundant living and God's glory.
