Real Faith in Action
Author: Curl Oral Hazell
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1498274439
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 141
Book Description
In this day of increasing uncertainty and fear, faith in God is needed more than ever before. In addition to its incalculable other benefits, faith in God brings peace, comfort, and overflowing joy to those who put their trust in God. But not any kind of "faith" can procure these benefits, only biblical faith can. When understood in its biblical authenticity, and then put into action, faith always leads to triumph in that it enables us to experience what God ordained for us to obtain, perform, and become. In light of this, it is extremely important that we--the people of God--possess a comprehensive, biblically-based, practical tool to aid us in achieving this understanding. Real Faith in Action is that tool! It presents an unconventional, multi-dimensional view of faith, revealing many aspects usually not discussed in other works, through nine principles that are clearly laid out by the Holy Spirit in what is unquestionably the most comprehensive reporting of the working of faith in all of Scripture--the roll call of faith in Hebrews 11. The principles are thus illustrated through the real life experiences of fellow humans who dared to believe God for the impossible. Accordingly, the book goes beyond explaining faith to demonstrating faith. It is designed to captivate and draw the reader into the world of the faith heroes of the past, thus inspiring him or her to do likewise. Furthermore, in that real life experiences are discussed, any thought of being incapable of doing the same should be vanquished, knowing that others succeeded in their accomplishments by utilizing the same faith to which we also have access.

Pages : 262
Book Description
Renowned Bible teacher and #1 New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer shows readers how to not just survive but thrive amidst both the everyday and the monumental messes we experience in life. Life is often messy. We hear people say, “My life is a mess,” or “This situation is a mess.” What they mean is that life has become difficult, painful or confusing. But God never promised us a trouble-free life. In fact, His Word tells us to expect the opposite. In John 16:33, Jesus says, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (NIV). In Blessed in the Mess, beloved Bible teacher Joyce Meyer shows us how to be blessed in the midst of life’s most challenging circumstances. The Bible is filled with instructions on how to handle ourselves when difficulty comes our way, and Blessed in the Mess shares that wisdom through poignant and practical teaching that equips us to remain stable and hopeful in every situation. No matter what problems we may face, there is a way to remain joyful and patient as God works on them. If you have not handled the messy issues or challenges in your life well in the past, then with God's help, you can begin to manage them better, starting now. We should never waste our pain. Through the wisdom distilled in this book, we can learn how to gain something from our messes, use those insights to avoid trouble in the future, and share our experiences to help other people find blessings in the midst of their messes. A study guide as well as a Spanish edition, Bendición en el desorden, are also available for purchase.

Paul, The Apostle of Obedience
Author: Jason A. Myers
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0567705846
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
Jason A. Myers reconsiders the meaning and context of the phrase “the obedience of faith” in Rom 1:5 and how it contributes to the theme of obedience in Romans. In contrast to previous studies that have nearly exclusively focused on the obedience language in light of the Hebrew Bible and Second Temple literature, Myers instead investigates how this language functioned within the Greco-Roman world, particularly in the discourse of the Roman Empire. By studying both the Greco-Roman contexts and the use of obedience language during the Empire, Myers sheds fresh light on the meaning of “the obedience of faith,” and concludes that such examination helps contemporary readers understand how Gentiles in Paul's audience would have heard and received the terms and images relating to obedience. In addition, he argues that Paul's use of obedience language, both at the beginning and end of Romans (1:5; 15:18), serves as rhetorical bookends, and signals a theme that is central to Paul's purpose in Romans and integral to his calling as an apostle to the Gentiles.

The Power of Obedience
Author: Deborah L. Roeger
Publisher: Energion Publications
ISBN: 1631998196
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
What does God require of you? Many Christians are asking this question, and looking for an answer that is biblically founded. You can find the answer in this book. In her previous book, God Still Speaks, Deborah Roeger outlined a sound basis for hearing from God, discerning His voice, and following Him more closely as we develop the habit of listening. In this first volume of her series "Lost in Translation," she studies biblical obedience. Rather than speaking of obedience as a list of duties, she presents it as a uniquely powerful way to live. This book is rooted in the stories of Scripture, especially of the Old Testament. From those roots the study unfolds a practical, life-changing approach to discipleship based on finding God's will and joyfully joining Him. Each chapter provides a key verse and a number of scriptural examples to follow as we seek to become more effective disciples. We do this not to earn God's favor, but to align with His will and to enjoy a life of peace and communion with the God who loves us. The book contains well researched word studies which link the lessons with specific key words in Scripture. Each word study provides helpful insight into how that word is used biblically and how it informs our discipleship. This book is intended for group study, but can also be read and studied individually. It is a resource for Christian education classes wanting to dig deeper into God's Word presented in the Bible.
