Review Of The Chapter 'New Power To Live Christ'

The fundamental theme presented in chapter twenty five and twenty six of David W. Dorries book Spirit Filled Christology maintains that Jesus came, not only as a pathway for salvation, but also to lead as an example of the Spirit’s movements and to empower His church with supernatural abilities to further the ministry that He began. In order to expound upon his statements, Dorries uses historical context.

Chapter three of Engaging the Christian Scriptures goes into detail over selective parts of the sections of history, writings, and prophets. Chapter three gives the reader information over several books in the Bible such as Joshua, Judges, Jeremiah, etc. The chapter dives into the text of Joshua and gives the reader useful insight over Joshua and him leading the Israel across the Jordan river to conquer the land of milk and honey, Jericho. The book of Judges purpose was to teach Israel that God is faithful and certain to punish sin therefore each person must remain loyal and devoted to the Lord. The purpose of Jeremiah was to warn of the destruction that they were about to face and to urge Judah to return and submit to God. Towards the end

In reading Bill Davis’ book, In All Things Christ Preeminent, it is evident that receiving an education at Covenant College will be a unique spiritual and intellectual experience. With Christ present in all areas of the school, the structure of the college and what it as an institution aspires to accomplish varies greatly from that of the high school I attended. Based on the Christ-like goals, instruction, and student body of Covenant College depicted in In All Things Christ Preeminent, receiving an education from Covenant seems vastly different from my secular experience at LaFayette High School.

In “What Are We to Make of Jesus Christ” C.S. Lewis askes the question of what is he to make of us? Also, Lewis Askes the question of how to solve the historical problems with the teachings and acts of Christ. He talks about how Jesus Christ was treated, but still forgave man of their sins and, still, was executed for teachings. Christ may many bold statements and remarks like “’No one need fast while I am here’”. Lewis then writes about other religious figures and how if you ask them question and what they would laugh you off or kill you. Also, Lewis writes how if anyone say what Christ was saying then they are delusional. Lewis then compares what he says “If you think you are a poached egg, when you are not looking for a piece of toast to

We have now come to the fourth and final book of Mere Christianity. In this book, the author takes us to the place in our Christian growth where we begin to rely more heavily on the power of God and less on ourselves to become the being that God originally intended for us to be — a son of God. He begins with an explanation of the difference between “making” and “begetting”.

In the book Simply Jesus, N.T. Wright makes three different claims throughout. N.T. Wright's first claim is about the “perfect storm”. The “perfect storm” takes up a large section of the first few chapters, and in those chapters N.T. Wright writes about that to enter the “perfect storm” you must step out of your own storm that is happening in your life, you must jump back into the “perfect storm” just as Jesus did in his own life. N.T. Wright fails to fully support the idea of the “perfect storm” throughout the book. Wright writes about the two myths that create the “storms”, the first is “… the high-pressure system of conservative Christianity” and the second is “... the new classic modernist myth…”. N.T. Wright loses his credibility to his claims by never giving evidence that disproves they myths. N.T. Wright states that the stories in the bible “...’really did happen’. And there the matter ends…. Facts or no facts”. N.T. Wrights claims are never fully

To fully understand Romans 8:1-4, we need to establish a basic concept of the book of Romans. All the way back as far as 57 A.D, the book of Romans is speculated to be written by Tertious, a secretary of the apostle Paul. This is shown in Romans 16:22. Paul intended to write the book, the book of Romans, to help create faith in the Romans. It is speculated that the apostle Paul, with the help of his secretary, wrote the book of Romans in the city of Corinth in Greece.The book of Romans consists of how to believe in God and that we are not saved through our own sin but through Christ Jesus who paid the ultimate price for our sins. In Romans 8:1-4, it talks about how we are not condemned to death because we are saved through Christ Jesus from him dying on the cross.

The book that I chose the read was The Challenge of Jesus: Rediscovering who Jesus was and I have to say that I am quite impressed with N.T. Wright. Wright is a professor and a historian of the New Testament and his book does two things, tries to help us understand how Jesus lived back in the first century and how other people might have lived with him and experienced him. This Book also tries to help us understand the things that happened in the New Testament and helps us look back and see if this stuff really did happen. It is a quest for the historical Jesus in shorter terms, and Wright wants us to better understand because it seems in the modern day that there are a lot of mixed versions of who Jesus was and what he sought to do. An example

One critique to the Jesus Seminar was the motives behind their work. The media often portrayed the group to be comprised mostly of former Christians, attacking hardest on the group’s leader Robert Funk and cochair John Crossan. Critics went as far to describe their meetings as having “the air of a village atheists’ convention” (Powell, 110). Such an allegation gave rise to the popular belief that the motives of the scholars were to get revenge on institutionalized religion for not being accepting to them. I believe the media was too quick to judge the motives of the scholars by attacking their backgrounds. Just because their work was controversial doesn’t mean it was subjective with underlying personal vendettas. It seems unlikely that a group

The book Steps to Christ discusses our relationship with God. The author Ellen White describes thirteen steps we must take to enable us to have a loving and committed relationship with our Heavenly Father. In this essay I discuss each of the thirteen steps.

“For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead (James 2:26).” Believing in the gospel and having faith in Jesus Christ is what makes someone a Christian, not doing good works, but that is not the complete essence of being a Christian. God said Christians should live to please him and work to become Christ-like through the power of the Holy Spirit. In a presentation in New York, former Anglican Bishop, N.T. Wright, introduces his book and argues the importance of Christian character building after salvation.

This week we studied Pneumatology, the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. It was an opportunity to learn about this unsung hero of the Trinity who, though ever present with us, we seldom mention or think of and often do not give the respect he merits. In this paper, we will address the relationship between the Holy Spirit and Jesus’ resurrection and ascension and how the Holy Spirit is involved in those events. We will also examine the Holy Spirit’s work of regeneration and its impact on believers in the church.

In all of Paul’s writings an array of words are expressed to describe the workings of Christ. In many of these cases thorough exegesis is necessary to understand the true content and application for daily life. One of the heaviest of these words that has caused a large amount of debate throughout history, and one that is imbedded in the book of Galatians, is justification. Nonetheless, the means that individuals receive this form of justice is through faith, and faith alone according to Paul. Faith is the factor of response to the gospel message. The central argument in the Galatian epistle is whether one follows the “works of the law” or has “faith in Jesus Christ.” Paul’s stance here conveys through the works of Jesus Christ, God has

For as long as 2000 years millions have asserted Jesus as their rescuer and staked their lives and their endlessness on His promises. In the story of Jesus Christ is a falsehood then it is impressively the best and most preposterous scam to ever deify itself and pressure humankind. However, in the event that it is true, we must choose the option to consider Him important, neglecting to do as such could cost you everything. Eventually in each of our lives we must face the subject of Jesus Christ. [1]
