Download or read book A Guide Through 1 John written by Benjamin Ramsaur and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in the tradition of Robert Law's classic "The Tests of Life", Benji Ramsaur takes the reader on a journey through the spiritual riches of 1 John. The testing facts of righteousness, love, and faith combine with the comforting declarations of this epistle to assure all genuine Christians that they possess life. A life the Son possessed in fellowship with the Father before time began and has now been manifested in the incarnation of Christ. This eternal life has its beginning within an individual when the Father God imparts his own nature in regeneration and it reaches ultimate fruition at the second coming of the Son. Seeking to undermine this Divine life were false teachers who sought to pull the rug out from under the real bodily sacrifice of Jesus Christ. They had once infiltrated the Christian assembly but had now pulled out. Consequently, this had the impact of disquieting those who had remained in fellowship with one another concerning whether or not they shared life in the Spirit. Contextually, this is where the last apostle, John, intervenes to pastorally bring the reassurance that these believers needed. Wrapped up in his assurance is the teaching that the new commandment to love one another has been realized within their spiritual community. Contrastingly, hatred, along with an unrighteousness and heretical teaching, marked the secessionists. Hence, a chasm existed between the spiritually alive children of God and the spiritually dead children of the Devil. That same difference exists today. Accordingly, for those on the side of light, this profound epistle was written that they may know they have eternal life.

Download or read book Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation written by Kristin Kobes Du Mez and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The “paradigm-influencing” book (Christianity Today) that is fundamentally transforming our understanding of white evangelicalism in America. Jesus and John Wayne is a sweeping, revisionist history of the last seventy-five years of white evangelicalism, revealing how evangelicals have worked to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism—or in the words of one modern chaplain, with “a spiritual badass.” As acclaimed scholar Kristin Du Mez explains, the key to understanding this transformation is to recognize the centrality of popular culture in contemporary American evangelicalism. Many of today’s evangelicals might not be theologically astute, but they know their VeggieTales, they’ve read John Eldredge’s Wild at Heart, and they learned about purity before they learned about sex—and they have a silver ring to prove it. Evangelical books, films, music, clothing, and merchandise shape the beliefs of millions. And evangelical culture is teeming with muscular heroes—mythical warriors and rugged soldiers, men like Oliver North, Ronald Reagan, Mel Gibson, and the Duck Dynasty clan, who assert white masculine power in defense of “Christian America.” Chief among these evangelical legends is John Wayne, an icon of a lost time when men were uncowed by political correctness, unafraid to tell it like it was, and did what needed to be done. Challenging the commonly held assumption that the “moral majority” backed Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020 for purely pragmatic reasons, Du Mez reveals that Trump in fact represented the fulfillment, rather than the betrayal, of white evangelicals’ most deeply held values: patriarchy, authoritarian rule, aggressive foreign policy, fear of Islam, ambivalence toward #MeToo, and opposition to Black Lives Matter and the LGBTQ community. A much-needed reexamination of perhaps the most influential subculture in this country, Jesus and John Wayne shows that, far from adhering to biblical principles, modern white evangelicals have remade their faith, with enduring consequences for all Americans.
