A Flexible Faith

Sinopsis del Libro

BONNIE KRISTIAN shows that a vibrant diversity within Christian orthodoxy-which is simply to say a range of different ways to faithfully follow Jesus-is a strength of our faith, not a weakness. It is all too easy to fail to grasp the diversity of the Christian faith-especially for those who have grown up in one branch of the church and never explored another. We fail to realize how many ways there are to follow Jesus, convinced that our own tradition is the one Christian alternative to nonbelief. A FLEXIBLE FAITH is written for the convinced and confused believer alike. It is a readable exploration of the lively theological diversity that stretches back through church history and across the spectrum of Christianity today. It is an easy introduction to how Christians have historically answered key questions about what it means to follow Jesus. Chapters will include 17 big theological questions and answers; profiles of relevant figures in church history; discussion questions; single-page Q&As-profiles of more unusual types of Christians (e.g., a Catholic nun or a member of an Amish community); and a guide to major Christian denominations today. As Bonnie shares her wrestlings with core issues-such as who Jesus is, what place the Church has in our lives, how to disagree yet remain within a community, and how to love the Bible for what it actually is-she teaches us how to walk courageously through our own tough questions. Following Jesus is big and it is something that individual believers, movements, and denominations have expressed in uncountably different ways over the centuries. In the process of helping us sort things out, Bonnie shows us how to be comfortable with diversity in the Body. And as we learn to hold questions in one hand and answers in the other, we will discover new depths of faith that will remain secure even through the storms of life.

Agridulce

La idea de Agridulce está cambiando mi forma de vivir, desentrañado y volviendo a entretejer la manera en que entiendo la vida. Agridulce es la idea de que en todas las cosas hay algo tronchado y algo hermoso, que hay un fragmento de claridad aun en las noches más oscuras, una sombra de esperanza en todo corazón quebrantado, y que el regocijo no es menos enriquecedor aun cuando contiene un poco de tristeza. Lo agridulce es la práctica de creer que realmente necesitamos lo amargo al mismo tiempo que lo dulce. Lo dulce es suficientemente sabroso, pero lo agridulce es hermoso, matizado,...

Conforme Al Corazon de Dios

En Conforme al corazón de Dios, Mike Bickle enseña cómo Dios está levantando creyentes y dándoles corazones como el de David. La Biblia registra que David era un hombre conforme al corazón de Dios. Ser un hombre o una mujer conforme al corazón de Dios consiste en cómo lo vemos a Él, cómo nos relacionamos con Él y nuestro destino en Él. David tenía una pasión constante por buscar y entender las emociones de Dios. De la misma forma como David, llegaremos a entender y reflejar el corazón de Dios de una manera que aún la humanidad no ha visto. Como resultado tendremos visión, una ...

Esto es un asunto Personal

Jesus is not merely an entrepreneur who has found a promising enterprise on one of His planets. Rather, He is a ravished Bridegroom who has come to win the affections of a lovesick Bride. That makes it personal to Him. In an age when ministry success is often measured by church growth statistics and name recognition, Jesus is calling us to once again return to the simplicity of serving Him because it's personal for us, too.
