Questions On The God Of God

“They have something to say to every minister of the gospel who has remained silent behind the safe security of

As he addresses extensively the subject of evangelism, it appears that Fay is very confident that is book is well needed due to the “sin of silence” that has gripped the Church and the body of Christ, in general. He has a powerful style that uses examples from his personal life and experiences to shows his reader that it is easy to share the Gospel. He also uses witnessing examples from the lives of various Christians to show the readers that they too can share the gospel without fear. He advocates a simple and non-confrontational approach to evangelism and states that God can use even imperfect attempts to share the Gospel. What God cannot use is the Christian’s silence about the Gospel.

Currently, I am serving in a mission field, my campus, as each day I have been given access to academic scholars, staff, and students who represent different cultures and religions. Our campus is a revolving door that allows for opportunities to share the gospel. While accepting Christ in my late 30’s I did not understand His love or forgiveness for many years. It is through these truths of His love that I can speak with conviction of His love for all people. Aided through the leading of the Holy Spirts, and the life lessons learned, I can speak of the saving grace of God, His love and His desire for all to know Jesus as Lord, and Savior. It is through God’s guidance and His Word that allows me to share His promises to those who are lost and

When we think of evangelism, we tend to have a few big names, like Billy Graham, D L Moody, George Whitefield, and John Sung. Our mindset immediately goes to “They are powerful Christians used by God, but I am just a common believer”. Later we will arrive at a conclusion: I can never be good at evangelism. Gradually, we lost the courage to even trying evangelism.

The goals this book presented were convincing and challenging for the Christian reader. The main goal of Questioning Evangelism is to develop a new way of thinking for the

As you move from shallow area of the lake to the deep area of the sea, guard your mouth. It is time for you to change your language and speak life to your ministry. You have to feed your ministry with the Word of God. God’s Word has power and life to move according to how to

As I plan to embark on a lifelong journey of full time ministry, I better understand the need for a deep passion of lifelong learning. Culture is shifting and changing, leaving minsters with the challenge of keeping pace to reach people in a dark world. Paul talked about the necessity of relating to the people we are trying to reach in 1 Corinthians and Highlands College has better equipped me for this task. To successfully maintain a lifestyle of learning, I plan to continue my studies of scripture, deepening my understanding of the scriptures while learning new ways to apply them in reaching society. Jesus gave us the example of being light in darkness in the Book of John and, as I continue to be who God has called me to be, I know it is of absolute necessity to know the truth of God’s Word more than ever before but, I do not only plan to study just scripture. I have learned the necessity to study other topics to better prepare and equip me for ministry. My limited worldview shined a bright light on my need for better understanding, not only of God’s Word, but also the cultures represented around me. I plan to continue studying those cultures so that I may better shine the light of God’s Word into those places. Highlands College has amplified the need to continually grow in all areas so that I may be better prepared to reach people as God

truth above makes us enemies of society that’s why state churches love and practice lies! But we are not of the world, we have been chosen out of the world. Therefore, every truth our Lord reveals to us and teaches us, we will lay down our lives to proclaim it! Even so, come Lord Jesus!

The author, John Piper, is a retired pastor, author, and theologian. Piper wants his readers to know that the goal of preaching is the glory of God (21). Piper also states that the ground of preaching is the cross of Christ, and the gift of preaching comes from the power of the Holy Spirit (23). Piper accomplishes his goal within both parts of the book. Part one is dedicated to why God should be supreme in preaching, and part two is how to make God supreme in preaching. This a great book for students, pastors, and those within the church. Piper reminds his audience that God is the focus of preaching and nothing else. This review will summarize, review, and critique the work while providing a conclusion.

Paul, one of the apocalyptic writers of the New Testament, received God’s message not from man, but “through revelation of Jesus Christ,” (Galatians 1:12). In other words, he never met Jesus in the flesh, but rather through a spiritual vision. Paul establishes his authority and writes to the Galatians criticizing the people who just meet the needs of the established Jewish law as opposed to having true faith in God. For this new time in history, Paul reshapes the social contours of what people saw in salvation and eternal life in preparation for the second coming of Christ through tremendous disruption. The notion of being saved under the law on judgment day became no longer logical. In Galatians, Paul employs the dichotomies of human versus

“The god of this world has blinded the minds of those who do not believe, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.” (Corinthians 4:4 MEV)

There is a need today for believers who are willing to stand up and defend Christ without wavering. There are so many beliefs, religions, and worldviews contending for people’s allegiance. It takes knowing Christ, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and God’s word to defend the gospel. Christians must be ready to proclaim the message with persistency no matter if the times are favorable or unfavorable. Believers must ready to correct, rebuke, and encourage with great patience in teaching (2 Tim. 4:2). As Christians, you cannot look at others and their ulterior motives; you must be willing to share Christ according to his word.

The Christian understanding of God differs from other world religions' conceptions mainly because of their belief in the doctrine of the Trinity. Christians believe that God is the Father, the Son, and The Holy Spirit although "the doctrine of the Trinity is not explicitly spelled out in the Bible" (Created for Community pg. 16), the doctrine is the result of the experiences of the early Christians proving that the one God, the creator was the Father, Jesus was the Lord but he was not the Father but the Son, and the godly presence around them was The Holy Spirit. Although there is a trinity, Christians believe there is still one God, "one God [Christians worship] in trinity and trinity and unity neither confusing the persons nor dividing the

After Jesus had been crucified and rose on the third day he gathered the disciples and told them, “Therefore go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age” God commands us Christians to go out into the world and share the gospel to all nations. Sharing the gospel is not easy! Luckily God has sent us help. John 16:13 says, “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard…from me.” I am one of the many whom God has called to work in missions. God has placed on my heart through the power of the Holy Spirit to go out into the world to further his kingdom. In this paper I will be discussing the Holy Spirit’s involvement in missions.

One of the most widely acknowledged depictions of God are found in the Bible. A pattern in each biblical story is that God has a different attitude or existing relationship with either man and women. Readers can find that God has been helpful or hurtful to each different character depending on which chapter is being interpreted. The connection between God and man begins in Genesis I and II & III. Throughout the depiction of how God created life in the first chapters, humans are created in God's image. Thus, people are relevant to one another like God is to people. This might mean that the sacred relationship was instructional to the first humans beings, like Adam and Eve, on a way to or how they should begin defining themselves. God's work involves making covenants with those who he sees are competent to carry out his will.
