That's why I preach my way through entire books of the Bible, dealing carefully with each verse and phrase--even though that occasionally means spending time in passages that don't readily lend themselves to anecdotal or motivational messages. I am grateful to the Lord for the way He has used this exposi- tory approach in our church and in the lives of our radio listeners. But now and then someone tells me frankly that my preaching needs to be less doctrinal and more practical. Practical application is vital. I don't want to minimize its importance.
We need to read and get an understanding of what others went through in their lives because most of us are experiencing those same things they were experiencing right now and today. I love the way this book depicts the lives of those in the Bible and how they interacted with others like their enemies and their families as well as how they handled different life changing experiences. I love the way their relationships were with God and how they prayed, rose
Lastly, I learned that God will always love and forgive us. It is necessary to respond to God in order to receive salvation. God will always call but sadly not everyone responds. Some people respond and achieve salvation. Others don't because they are caught up with the world.
“A Journey Through The Old Testament” SUMMARY: For many Christians the Old Testament is daunting and confusing. The books are long and speak about a culture dramatically different form our own. This wonderful book by Elmer L. Towns, “A Journey Through the Old Testament” does not substitute for reading the Old Testament, but Mr. Towns has provided a wonderful “journey” in understanding the people of the Old Testament and a view of the Coming Messiah. His works speak to the intellect as well as to the heart of how God prepared the world in His image – and His hope for mankind.
To have faith in someone on past knowledge, according to McCloskey, is reasonable however; it is unreasonable to have faith in God as we have no past knowledge of God. Theists base their knowledge of God on the revelations that He has given us, the Bible, and the
CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW Introduction Every individual has a worldview whether they realize it or not. A person’s worldview can be Christian, secular, or a combination of both. To fully understand Christian Worldview it is important to understand what worldview means in general and to also have an idea of what secular worldview means (Christianworldview.net). The Bible states, “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon” (Matthew 6:24 KJV).
“Will to Power” is a section that is parallel to “Thoughts on Life” because is discusses an individuals will to become powerful and make a personal stand for themselves. In “On Interpretation” he shares his view that there is no fact in the world because everything is an interpretation. As you can see all of these sections have a possible relation to Christianity and their set of beliefs. A particular problem I notice with Nietzsche’s aphorisms is that it creates an image for the reader to portray a Christian to be a weak mined helpless being. He basically degrades the entire Bible by saying that there is no fact in the world and everything is an interpretation.
When Abraham was about to sacrifice his son of prophet, God told Abraham to stop and use a sheep instead. So when God had trusted Abraham with all these things a lot of responsibility came upon him. Even though there are a lot of stories in the bible that teach us, I chose Abraham because he did all these things for God. Now relating to us today, we can do all these things that Abraham had done for God but we could do all this for a friend, a family member or even a stranger. So are the Hebrew Scriptures relevant to us today?
This is the question absolutes ask before making any decisions. Although many think this theory Has its weaknesses. Many people think that did God write this theory because it is good merely or is it that the thought it would be good to him. Some also say that why should we follow everything God says, that if he said killing people was good, will that mean it was actually good. Also Absolute Laws are always interpreted the wrong way.
When I see my parents I think about how I look so much like them in appearance. But, when I think of my heavenly Father my true design was given by him thru my parents to create me in his image. So then we must say, “Ok so I’m created by him but exactly what is my meaning and purpose?” Everything in the earth and Universe were designed to complete a unique task my meaning is to love my God and to serve him is my purpose. When he gave us his son Jesus Christ my father in heaven showed me his great love and compassion
