Why is God's beauty often absent from our theology? Rarely do theologians take up the theme of God's beauty—even more rarely do they consider how God's beauty should shape the task of theology itself. But the psalmist says that the heart of the believer's desire is to behold the beauty of the Lord. In The Beauty of the Lord, Jonathan King restores aesthetics as not merely a valid lens for theological reflection, but an essential one. Jesus, our incarnate Redeemer, displays the Triune God's beauty in his actions and person, from creation to final consummation. How can and should theology better reflect this unveiled beauty? The Beauty of the Lord is a renewal of a truly aesthetic theology and a properly theological aesthetics.

Inspiration from the Apostle Paul on how to pray bold, exciting prayers. Inspiration from the Apostle Paul on how to pray bold, exciting prayers. So many of us struggle with prayer. Many books have been written on the subject and there’s a reason for that. Prayer comes hard to most of us, in most seasons. And when we do pray, we often don't know what to say. What is it that my Father loves to hear about? What are the best things I could pray for my family, my church, and myself? This short book by renowned Bible teacher Alistair Begg combines warmth, clarity, humour, and practicality as he examines Paul’s prayers for his friends in the church in Ephesus. Paul clearly enjoyed prayer, and was excited about it. He expected his Father in heaven to hear what he said, and to act in other people’s lives accordingly. The truths that underpin and shape his prayers will motivate us to pray and set us an example. So be inspired by the Apostle Paul to pray bigger and better prayers as we look to our heavenly Father to do more than all we ask or imagine!

"Life comes at us from every direction with instructions others think we should follow. But worldly strategies often leave out one key directive--Godþs plan for our lives, the Word-filled life. Dr. Barnett closely studied the nearly 3,000 lives recorded in the Bible, as well as many of the major figures who have crossed the worldþs stage to find those God used to magnify His Name in this world. The common denominator was their choosing to discipline themselves for God, to find the quality life that He wants for each of us. The Scriptures offer instruction on how to have a joyous Word-filled life that includes better relationships with our God, our families, our friends, and a work life that can be satisfying, purposeful and rewarding. This richly researched and practical study guide of Godþs Word shows how He wants to greatly bless us and offers His clear guidelines for how to have an exciting lifetime filled with confidence, purpose, direction and hope"--Back cover.

Jesus Christ is calling you personally to walk on water with Him. -If you are already doing it, you will know why. -If you are not doing it yet, you will know how. -If you think you can't, let us convince you otherwise. In this book, you'll get a solid foundation from the Bible: What has God promised every Christian? And what has he not said? And how can what he has said become a reality in your life? In any case, you will study the Word of God intensively as never before. To sum up the message of these pages in one sentence is this: "Jesus Christ saves from the power of sin" Doesn't every serious Christian believe that? No, hardly any serious Christian believes that. In practice, we believe, "Jesus saves us from the guilt of sin. And mostly from greater sins. But not from lesser sins. And not so that we can truly and fundamentally have victory over sin." Behind this is a theological system of unbelief inspired by the words of the serpent, "Did God really say?" Instead of believing our heart and the Scriptures, in our theology we place ourselves outside of Christ in prison walls of unbelief, on which hopelessness stands as a sentry, watching that no one escapes from the dungeon of eternal defeat before sin. And the fortress of evil thus fortified can only be broken open and destroyed by the explosive power of the united words of God. Can we not live liberated through Jesus Christ to the glory of the Father without having to weep every day over 1000 failures? Do we not have a Savior who contends and conquers for us? Let us set out for a Reformation20.de! If you are already following Jesus and longing as a child of God to experience the power of your Savior in your everyday life, then read this book: Did God Really? Say. 95 theses on your victory over sin through Jesus Christ. Read more on https://95thesenteil2.de including free version of the book with online translation into English.
