Every day we are formed by what we see on social media. Every day we are formed by the new Netflix special. Every day we are formed by the hot-button topics of the culture that appear on our news feeds. In fact, every single day we are formed as we interact with the world around us. We learn from it, are taught by it, and live from it. So what is the faithful Christian to do when they can’t help but be shaped by the world around them? What is the believer in Jesus to do when the world opposes so much of his teachings? This book seeks to answer those questions by turning to the lost art of catechesis. This book seeks to turn the tables on formation by the world by providing formation through the word. This devotional work utilizes an updated form of The Westminster Catechism, Scripture passages, brief reflections, and prayers to help form believers into more robust disciples. Who knows, maybe this process will provide a way for us to no longer be formed by the world but rather, to begin forming the world to reflect its great redeemer, Jesus Christ.
This book was created with the intent to grab and wake you from the message of the modern-day church that preaches "God has a wonderful plan for your life" or a "lifestyle-enhancement Gospel". Imagine hearing these words from our Holy Creator on Judgment Day: "Depart from me you who practice lawlessness, I never knew you." What would you do if that happened? Moreover, are you willing to take that chance? Examine yourself right now. Do you consider yourself a good person, really? Romans 3:10 (NKJV) states, "There is none righteous, no, not one." Take a closer look at the beliefs you may have been taught throughout your life. I am eternally thankful to our Lord and Savior for His patience with me, the undeserved love and kindness He has, as well as His unending grace and mercy He offers to His children. A special thanks goes out to LivingWaters (Ray Comfort and staff ), Bridge - Logos foundation for their help and my family for never giving up on me.

There is no real commendability in a mere resolve. If Christians resolve to do something, and never actually get around to doing it, what good is that? A weak and wobbling resolution in this way, holds in it nothing of real value. But if Christians desire to glorify the living Christ in their kingdom service, then such service does, truly, come in light of biblical resolution. For a true and Spirit-guided resolution to take place, the Christian mind considers many things. All Spirit-filled Christians turn all resolving powers into execution. Having a resolve to do something is a wonderful beginning. It ties two parts of a duty together for the Christian; to resolve and to do. Being resolved as a Christian, sets forth a deliberation of the mind about the thing to be resolved on. No wise Christian will ever resolve to do anything until he has considered the action, and weighed it in the balance of Scripture with himself, and fully debated its necessity and expedience. How might a Christian be resolved in the work of doing good always before God? And in what main categories might resolution take place? In considering a holy resolve, a fixed determination of serving King Jesus, this book will cover five marks: Mark 1: resolved to do great works for the glory of God in everything. Mark 2: resolved to contend for the faith once delivered to the saints. Mark 3: resolved to reject all earthlimindedness. Mark 4: resolved to righteously use the means of grace for further sanctification as Christ prescribes. Mark 5: resolved to continue to do good without growing weary.
In this study, McMahon considers the universal and perpetual teaching of loving God and loving one’s neighbor, as it pertains to the heart, soul and mind of a Christian. His main text is taken from Christ’s words in Matt. 22:37-39, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.” The love that Christians ought to have in light of biblical reformation, consist in loving God with all the heart, soul and mind, and loving one’s neighbor. Though this is often thought of as a nice “religious” sentiment, many Christians have no idea how that works out in the life of the Christian. Where did Jesus get such a notion, and what was he teaching? Biblical reformation is set within this “love to God” and that without it, no one can ever be reformed, and no revival will ever take place in the whole world. In this, Jesus’ words are far reaching, and they are a basic fundamental tenant of the Christian religion. Jesus did mean what he in fact said, to love God in heart, soul and mind is loving him in a superlative degree, the highest degree. Does this seem impossible? How does reformation and loving God fit together? And how does reformation of the heart, soul and mind for God’s glory and our good work itself out in light of Scripture? This is the substance of this work.
Dust storms. Flooding. The fear of nuclear fallout. While literary critics associate authors of the 1930s and ’40s with leftist political and economic thought, they often ignore concern in the period’s literary and cultural works with major environmental crises. To fill this gap in scholarship, author Matthew M. Lambert argues that depression-era authors contributed to the development of modern environmentalist thought in a variety of ways. Writers of the time provided a better understanding of the devastating effects that humans can have on the environment. They also depicted the ecological and cultural value of nonhuman nature, including animal “predators” and “pests.” Finally, they laid the groundwork for “environmental justice” by focusing on the social effects of environmental exploitation. To show the reach of environmentalist thought during the period, the first three chapters of The Green Depression: American Ecoliterature in the 1930s and 1940s focus on different geographical landscapes, including the wild, rural, and urban. The fourth and final chapter shifts to debates over the social and environmental effects of technology during the period. In identifying modern environmental ideas and concerns in American literary and cultural works of the 1930s and ’40s, The Green Depression highlights the importance of depression-era literature in understanding the development of environmentalist thought over the twentieth century. This book also builds upon a growing body of scholarship in ecocriticism that describes the unique contributions African American and other nonwhite authors have made to the environmental justice movement and to our understanding of the natural world.
Has there ever been a period in modern history when democratic politics seemed more unpredictable or unruly? The old rules by which politics was once both ordered and understood have waned, in the face of a set of global challenges almost beyond control or comprehension. In terms of understanding these challenges, there are very few commentators who can run the gamut from democracy to disgust, from the micro to the macro and from love to loathing. And yet this is exactly what Matthew Flinders delivers, expertly ranging across topics including architecture, art, fell running and fairy tales in an attempt to understand the emerging democratic landscape. Linking academic scholarship with popular culture, this refreshing and stimulating book seeks to provoke and inform in equal measure.
In this Scriptural exhortation and teaching on 2 Peter 1:1-11, Gifford explains election by first attaching the importance of real faith and fruitful works to the life of the Christian. There is no greater question asked among those doubtful of their salvation than how to gain real assurance. Gifford biblically demonstrates the importance of a fruitful life of virtue in the first three chapters. Then, he describes how those primary principles of true biblical faith are set in the context of election. This in turn provides the Christian with a mountain of assurance. But, how will they now know that “such an entrance shall be ministered unto” them in the Kingdom of heaven? They know it through the truth of the word, as it pertains to the work and merit of Christ, and subsequently, through the visible and sure fruits of righteousness that the Spirit works in them throughout their whole life. The work of Christ applied to the soul of a true believer will exemplify the fruits of righteousness by the Spirit. They will be discernably seen in their life, and this in turn will become the Spirit’s motion of assurance in them. In following the Apostle Peter’s outline in his epistle, Gifford methodically shows the need for holiness, and how the true believer, who is fruitful, can and should then set his heart, soul and mind on the electing power of God in Christ for assurance. For God has not only “called believers” to be elected, but, he “hath called us unto glory and virtue.” If there is no virtue, there will be no glory. All this ties into Gifford’s systematic elucidation of these most precious and important biblical truths of faith, election and assurance. 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.
