Bøger af Paul V Zylstra

Rounding out its thesis with examples from history and etymology, Paul V. Zylstra's Our Spiritual Compass: The Conscience and Morality describes the immaterial parts of man in general and the conscience in detail as found in the Bible. These concepts are used to describe conflicts with modern philosophy, psychology, the legal system, and modern decision-making techniques and how they are used to condition the conscience to reject morality. Zylstra looks at the effects of government structures and the legal system on the conscience-following this thoughtful guide, lawmakers and jurists alike could make more Christian decisions and rulings. Our Spiritual Compass concludes with a discussion of conscientious objection and the need to protect the conscience of the individual. The book offers a peaceful alternative to counter some devastating effects of political correctness.Our Spiritual Compass is the second in a series of four books for Christian counselors working with people dealing with divorce, addiction, PTSD, and depression.

As human beings, we look at everything around us in terms of our senses . . . But as Christians, we must realize that what we sense is not all there is. There are forces at work beyond our senses that we have trouble recognizing, including angels, demons, and even God Himself.Not all the forces in the spiritual realm promote the goodness of God. Victory over sin is only possible by the Blood of Jesus Christ-but it helps to understand the trials and temptations we all face, why we face them, and what we can do to overcome them.Our Spiritual Enemies: The World, the Flesh, and the Devil explores the adversaries we as Christians encounter in our daily lives and the defenses we have against them. Our goal is to live a victorious Christian life unburdened by sin. God has provided us with the means to live this life-but first we must learn to recognize His leading hand and maintain fellowship with Him.
