How do people know if they are deceiving themselves? Self-deception is something everyone practices to one degree or another, and it is closely related to other-deception (deceiving other people) and Satan’s deception as the father of lies (John 8:44). How dangerous is self-deception? It can cost people their eternal destiny if they are deceiving themselves about their salvation. Self-deception has been a topic of keen interest among philosophers, theologians, and psychologists and is also a significant theme in the Bible. This book first introduces what the fields of philosophy, theology, and psychology say about self-deception and then examines many Bible passages that address the topic of self-deception to gain a biblical understanding of what it is and how to prevent it.
Establishing an intersection between the fields of traditional music studies, English folk music history and the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, this book responds to the problematic emphasis on cultural identity in the way traditional music is understood and valued. Williams locates the roots of contemporary definitions of traditional music, including UNESCO-designated intangible cultural heritage, in the theory of English folk music developed in 1907 by Cecil Sharp. Through a combination of Deleuzian philosophical analysis and historical revision of England’s folk revival of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, Williams makes a compelling argument that identity is a restrictive ideology that runs counter to the material processes of traditional music’s production. Williams reimagines Sharp’s appropriation of Darwinian evolutionary concepts, asking what it would mean today to say that traditional music ‘evolves’, in light of recent advances in evolutionary theory. The book ultimately advances a concept of traditional music that eschews the term’s long-standing ontological and axiological foundations in the principle of identity. For scholars and graduate students in musicology, cultural studies, and ethnomusicology, the book is an ambitious and provocative challenge to entrenched habits of thought in the study of traditional music and the historiography of England’s folk revival.
Supernatural Manifestations in the Church will entice you to pursue the tangibility of the intangible. It may not be the manifestations you are seeking, but they will accompany you as you utilize what is already at work in your life. You can learn how to access the power of gifts, the gifts of revelation, and the utterance of gifts through your own prayer language. Tongues provide a necessary element in releasing the super to the natural. The apostle Paul spoke in tongues more than all the Corinthians. Was there a link between the spiritual revelation he received through this kind of praying and the writing of half the books in the New Testament? Supernatural Manifestations in the Church contains exhilarating, real-life experiences in accessing the extraordinary working and moving of the Holy Spirit. In Supernatural Manifestations in the Church, you will receive answers to the following questions: How can you access the supernatural in your own devotional life? How can you know you are not manifesting demons? What are these strange utterances all about? Will I need years of counseling to get free? Is there a special tongue for self-deliverance? If Jesus took care of the Devil, then what is this all about? We have relegated to the specialist what every believer has access to. It is time to deal with the Devil.
What is Obedience? "If one is guilty of one sin they are guilty of all sin." (James 2:10) Obedience is absolute! Our studies and our experiences make our knowledge and with them we develop the facts of our lives. Our faith must be with works. "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone." (James 2:17) One cannot worship without gifts to God. We are all one in Christ. We have freedom of choice. Our lives must be changed.
