Walking Worthy Of God

This work by Vincent concerns the manner in which Christians should walk according to the profession they make. Walk the talk, as we would say today. He expounds Ephesians 4:1, “I therefore the prisoner of the Lord beseech you, that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called.” This calling is a duty, and Vincent explains how Christians are to be entreated and beseeched to do their duty to walk in holiness as God has called them. This calling is both inward and outward, and only the effectually called people of God can walk in a worthy manner to glorify Jesus Christ through the power of his Spirit. This is an exciting treatise that includes the theological aspects of the "ordo salutis," or order of salvation, as well as practical solutions for the Christian in doing more than merely talking about being a Christian. This work is not a scan or facsimile, has been carefully transcribed by hand being made easy to read in modern English, and has an active table of contents for electronic versions.

Inspired by Ephesians 4:1-3 Walking Worthy of My Calling is a spiritual guide book that invites each reader to journey back to the likeness of God - humanitys original state and fullest potential. Separated into 3 sections The Calling, Worth, and Walking - each develops on the one before to offer psychological, theological and philosophical wisdom and understanding with practical application. All with the goal of enhancing this life journey, maximizing our intimacy with God and our fellow creation, uncovering ones purpose, and intentionally living in the light of our true potential. The author prays that each chapter will ignite an awareness of the Call and affirm your commitment to keep walking.

According to Eugene Cho, Christians should never profess blind loyalty to a party. Any party. But they should engage with politics, because politics inform policies which impact people. In Thou Shalt Not Be a Jerk: A Christian’s Guide to Engaging Politics, Cho encourages readers to remember that hope arrived—not in a politician, system, or great nation—but in the person of Jesus Christ. With determination and heart, Cho urges readers to stop vilifying those they disagree with—especially the vulnerable—and asks Christians to follow Jesus and reflect His teachings. In this book that integrates the pastoral, prophetic, practical, and personal, readers will be inspired to stay engaged, have integrity, listen to the hurting, and vote their convictions. “When we stay in the Scriptures, pray for wisdom, and advocate for the vulnerable, our love for politics, ideology, philosophy, or even theology, stop superseding our love for God and neighbor.”

The phrase that Paul often repeats has always stood out to me, "Walk in a manner worthy of your calling." What does it mean to be worthy of our calling as Christians? I heard in a sermon once, "Yes the gospel is confusing because it is free.....yet it will cost you everything." When he said this everyone laughed, because we all know it's very true. We are called as Christians to pick up our cross daily and follow Jesus. What does it mean to pick up our cross? To be willing to die, to self, to any self-preservation tendencies we have, to not care what people think about us. Think about it, if we were willing to die every day would we care what others thought about us? No. When we die to ourselves daily and stay humble before God we are then walking in a manner "worthy of our calling." Amen. God bless!

Today's neurological research has placed habit at the center of human behavior; we are what we do repetitively. When we want to add something to our life, whether it's exercise, prayer, or just getting up earlier in the morning, we know that we must turn an activity into a habit through repetition or it just won't stick. What would happen if we applied the same kind of daily dedication to faith? Could faith become a habit, a given--automatic? With vulnerable storytelling and insightful readings of both Old and New Testament passages, Jen Pollock Michel invites the convinced and the curious into a 40-day Bible reading experience. Vividly translating ancient truths for a secular age, Michel highlights how the biblical text invites us to see, know, live, love, and obey. The daily reflection questions and weekly discussion guides invite both individuals and groups, believers and doubters alike, to explore how faith, even faith as small as a mustard seed, might grow into a life-defining habit.

In Matthew 10:16, Christ advised His Apostles to be "wise" and "innocent" as they go out "in the midst of wolves." This book shows Christians how to be wise and innocent as they work among people who sometimes behave like wolves. Temptation, greed, dishonesty, and misguided ambition have always presented challenges for Christians in the workplace. Add secular bias, political correctness, and persecution to the mix, and the modern workplace becomes a foreboding environment for Christians to navigate. This is so much the case, many Christians wonder if it is still possible to earn a living without compromising their faith. Christians on the Job does more than demonstrate that Christians can stand firm when confronted with faith-related dilemmas in the workplace. It also demonstrates how to go about it. Using concepts illustrated with real-life examples, steps to implement in specific situations, life application questions, and resources for going deeper, Dr. Goetsch draws a clear map to ensure Christians can find their way and thrive on the job.
