Showing results for "mere" in Christian Living

Mere Christianity is C.S. Lewis' forceful and accessible doctrine of Christian belief. First heard as informal radio broadcasts and then published as three separate books, The Case for Christianity, Christian Behavior, and Beyond Personality, Mere Christianity brings together what Lewis sees as the fundamental truths of the religion.

Do you ever wonder what it means to truly glorify God in your work if you’re not a pastor, missionary, or religious professional? Rather than offering theological exposition to answer that question, Jordan Raynor and Kaleigh Cox use vivid, fast-paced storytelling to present the captivating lives of five “mere Christians” who will show you what it looks like to follow Christ wherever you live and work.

To many who have discovered his books, C. S. Lewis is more than simply a writer; he has been a spiritual mentor. Here, over 50 Christians share how meeting the mind and imagination of Lewis in his books sparked the beginning or changed the course of their spiritual journey. These inspiring reflections have been shared by ordinary laypeople as well as many well-known leaders and writers.

In Mere Sexuality, author and pastor Todd Wilson presents the historic Christian consensus about human sexuality, the Great Tradition of the church for centuries as taught in each of its major expressions—Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant. Wilson highlights the stunning shift of opinion on issues of sexuality in the evangelical church and why this break with the historic church is problematic for the future of Christianity.

Christ conquered the West the first time. And this is how he’ll do it again. And when he does it again, Christians must be ready to take the lead. Jesus really is the answer to taxes, civil resistance, and speech laws. However, Christians do not need another political platform. They need a plan. This book is that plan.

Your husband or wife is no mere mortal, but an eternal soul who is going to grow closer to God or further from him because they are married to you. The biblical picture of the family is something far more powerful, far more dangerous, far more glorious - far more like a nuclear reactor - than anything else in modern society. No Mere Mortals: Marriage for People Who Will Live Forever shows how husbands can lead their wives, and how wives can follow their husbands, and how both together, building on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ, can shape future generations and the world.

In this eight-session study, you will discover why Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis is one of the most read and beloved Christian books of all time. But 70 years later from when it was first delivered on radio, what relevance does it have to our world today? Host Eric Metaxas and a variety of Christian leaders—including Philip Yancey, Alister McGrath, Devin Brown, Paul McCusker, Douglas Gresham, and others—help us understand the timeless message of C. S. Lewis in fresh ways for a new generation.

This does not mean a withdrawal from politics to our own communities and churches. Instead, we Christians must take what we have learned from the wreck of secularism and build a Christendom of the New Foundation: A network of nations bound together by a formal, public, civic acknowledgement of the lordship of Jesus Christ and the fundamental truth of the Apostles' Creed.

You are God's supernatural solution for a world beset with giant problems. Pastor Kerrick Butler II encourages us that the problems we face in the world today must be addressed by a church that understands that we are not merely mortal, but supernaturally empowered by the Holy Spirit to conquer the Goliaths of our day. In No Longer Mere Mortals, Kerrick shares how to operate in God's power as a lifestyle and be empowered as a superhuman - not just as an apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, or teacher. You may not wear a cape, but God made you superhuman just the same!

Ce livre audio est composé selon 5 grands thèmes, dont chacun renferme une large palette de sous-thèmes. Le chapitre I examine qui était Dieu pour Mère Teresa, le chapitre II sa relation avec Jésus, tandis que le chapitre III donne des exemples concrets des nombreux obstacles à l'amour que nous rencontrons en nous-mêmes. Les deux dernières parties contiennent l'enseignement de Mère Teresa sur la manière de mettre notre foi en action en aimant (chapitre IV) et d'être une cause de joie les uns pour les autres en vivant des vies d'amour (chapitre V).

When you let God take the driver's seat on life's journey, you're in for an incredible adventure. When my daughter, Brandy, and I embarked on a business venture with God, I experienced remarkable "coincidences". We came to refer to them as "God stories". This book is the result of those stories.

Donner la vie, devenir parent, cela bouscule une existence. Notre manière de voir la vie, d’envisager l’avenir, d’organiser nos journées évolue au gré de la croissance du petit être aimé qui accapare tant de notre énergie. Pas toujours facile de concilier vie de famille et spiritualité...mais à y voir de plus près, la parentalité est assurément un lieu privilégié pour apprendre à aimer, et donc pour grandir intérieurement.

Issus de "l'étincelle divine", nous sommes tous un fragment de la force créatrice de Dieu le Père et Dieu la Mère. Si notre cerveau possède deux hémisphères, l'un masculin, l'autre féminin, il en va de même du miroir de la création. Notre Père, co-créateur de l'univers, immobile et imperturbable, est pur intellect, alors que Dieu la Mère est le dieu émotif et actif qui peut "interférer" avec notre plan de vie.
