I have had to be frank in this book about what I see in the churches, painful though it may be for them and for me, for I am convinced that religious life today constitutes a massive evasion of God. My purpose in writing this is twofold: to help us understand why our churches are in such a sorry state spiritually and to call the churches and their leaders to honesty and change. - Preface.
Is it your aim to grow in God? "Let it grow, as a small flame grows into a fire" (2 Timothy 1:6, NCV). Is your soul prospering in the Lord? The apostle John wishes his readers: "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers" (3 John 2). Your spiritual growth is a choice. Soulzer fortifies every Christian who is truly fond of progressing in Christlike character by imitating Him even when no one is watching. To become "a man after God's own heart" -- Detach yourself from the "evil desires" of the world After this self-denial - "sanctify the Lord God in your hearts" "As you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him" By God's "power we live and move and exist" "Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you" Realize the Lord by feeling His "presence" with you Become "a temple of God" as "the Spirit of God dwells in you" And let the people around you taste "the fruit of the Spirit" Keep on "growing into the whole measure of all the fullness of Christ" and Continue your soul soldiering "until Christ is formed in you." Jesus said, "I have conquered the world!" (John 16:33, NRSV). A Christian is a lifelong fighter. "Everyone who has been fathered by God conquers the world. This is the conquering power that has conquered the world: our faith" (1 John 5:4, NET). "Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us" (Romans 8:37). "Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ" (2 Corinthians 2:14). As "the victory is from the Lord" (Proverbs 21:31, NET) you need to "fight against sin" (Hebrews 12:4, BBE), and keep on conquering the D-evil. This is a conquerable combat. You can certainly accomplish a victory over sin for "He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world" (1 John 4:4). Practice Christliness and become a Christ at heart!
“These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also.” That was the startled cry, circa 50 AD, from a hastily assembled mob in Thessalonica. These men who have turned the world upside: their description of Paul and Silas. Holy vandals on the loose, anointed marauders running amok, men out ransacking Roman cities with the gospel. You’d think they were heralding the arrival of Barbarian hordes, fierce Berserkers descending on poorly fortified villages, not two hungry men with no more than a fire in their bellies and a wildness in their eyes. These were just two ordinary men. But, as Paul says to the Corinthians, he was a man who preached “with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,” a man whose weapons were not of the world but had “divine power to demolish strongholds.” Two simple, ordinary men, walking in the power of God. A whole town in uproar because of them. It’s been a while since we’ve seen the likes of this. Your Church Is Too Safe is an ebook based on a simple idea: that God meant his church to be both good news and bad news, an aroma and a stench – a disruptive force to whoever or whatever opposes the Kingdom of God, and a healing and liberating power to those who seek it. That the church has not always lived this mandate is well-documented. That the church needs to recover this mandate is much touted. Your Church Is Too Safe is a plea, a celebration, and a manifesto. It’s an attempt to call the church to be the church. It is a tribute to the many churches that seek to be this. And it is a roadmap to become this. Above all, Your Church Is Too Safe is a biblical reflection and exhortation on why we should be this. Its main narrative is rooted in the story of how the early church, for all her failings and heresies and squabbles, managed to turn the world upside down. And its principal claim is that the modern church, for all her failings and heresies and squabbles, has every advantage they had, and maybe more, and faces no more challenges than they did, and maybe fewer.
In this revised edition Findley B. Edge explains that many Sunday school teachers fail to achieve better results because 'their teaching aims are too general and often vague.' The solution, he says, is for the teacher to focus on a single objective for each lesson and 'work toward that aim with singleness of purpose.'
Stories of the British airmen shot down over Western Europe who evaded capture by the Germans and made their way to Allied territory during World War II. During the five years from May 1940 to May 1945 several thousand Allied airmen, forced to abandon their aircraft behind enemy lines, evaded capture and reached freedom, by land, sea and air. The territory held by the Germans was immense—from Norway and Denmark in the north, through Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg to the south of France—and initially there was no organization to help the men on the run. The first one to assist the evaders and escapers (“E & E” as the Americans called them) was the PAT line, along the Mediterranean coast to Perpignan and down the Spanish border; named after a naval officer Pat O’Leary, from 1942 it became the PAO line. Next was the Comet line, from Brussels to the Pyrenees. Thousands of brave people were to be involved for whom, if caught, the penalty was death. Theirs is a stirring and awe-inspiring story. Respected historian Oliver Clutton-Brock has researched in depth this secret world of evasion, uncovering some treachery and many hitherto unpublished details, operations and photos. It is a tremendous reference work, written in his own colorful style with numerous anecdotes, which fills a gap of knowledge formerly unavailable to historians, professional or amateur. Packed the information, key figure biographies and listings—2, 094 evaders identified—this is a valuable testimony to the courage of all those involved.
