Sinopse

Harness the strengths of every generation to create a church that endures 
 
· open the lines of communication 
· appreciate the experiences that shaped each generation in your church 
· unite in one mission to impact your community and the world 
 
It may seem hard for younger Christians to believe that people over 50 were raised during an era when 90 percent of Americans identified as Christian. These older believers were once part of a majority group that understood the mission of the church was to take control of our culture to halt its evils. At the same time, Christians under 50 have lived their entire lives perceiving themselves as a minority that needs to make credible their faith to a secular, pluralistic culture.  
 
These distinct experiences and perceptions have a profound impact on the priorities different generations have for church ministry. It's no wonder that younger and older believers don't always see eye to eye! But imagine what could be accomplished in the name of Christ if we could better understand each other and turn that understanding into shared purpose and aligned priorities?  
 
Backed by thorough research, this eminently practical and hopeful book from pastor and scholar Bryan Chapell shows you how to open the lines of communication, appreciate the experiences that shaped each generation in your church, and unite in one mission to impact your community and the world.

    The Bible is an amazing book, with a real wealth of information in its pages. But it takes a dedicated person to seek the pearls of wisdom just waiting to be found. As you study the Bible, you will realise it could not possibly be the thoughts and rambling of many different authors, but every word is inspired by God himself. Many people refuse to believe this, but if you are prepared to seek the truth with an open mind and not rely on old preconceived ideas, then you will see exactly what I mean. 
    To better understand who Jesus is, and why his family life is so important for us to comprehend, we need to know everything about his past; we need to go back to the time of Abraham and see the promises God made to him.  
    Gen 12:1 Now the LORD said to Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you." 
    Gen 12:2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.  
    Gen 12:3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. 
    Abram, who later became Abraham, received these promises from God. They are unconditional and irrevocable. Abram was to go to the land God would show him, and he would become a great nation, and his name would become great. God will bless those who bless Abram and curse those who curse him.

Written for Christians who long to live with more boldness and purpose, Each One Reach One equips us to:Find our own unique style of talking about Jesus.Approach evangelism with enthusiasm rather than a sense of obligation.Anticipate opportunities for telling others about Christianity.Use Scripture and reflection questions to draw closer to God’s heart.Experience the joy of seeing others as Christ sees us.  
    Sharing our story of Jesus doesn’t have anything to do with rote lines, preachy words, or guilty feelings. As Babbie shows us, it has everything to do with listening well, practicing compassion, and demonstrating Christ’s joy. 
    Includes free streaming access to bonus videos.

    Originally published in Amsterdam in 1771, Swedenborg presents his theological views against the backdrop of, and in contrast to, key concepts in Protestant Christianity. In the fourteen chapters of his two-volume True Christianity (volume two begins with chapter 8), he addresses topics such as the nature of God, the Bible, and the Trinity; how and why Jesus redeemed the human race; the multilayered meanings of the Ten Commandments; how faith and good works contribute to salvation; the true nature and purpose of baptism and Holy Supper (Communion); and the Last Judgment, the Second Coming, and the descent of the New Jerusalem. It includes Swedenborg’s most extended and practice-oriented discussion of how to undertake effective repentance from sin. The tone of the work is often blunt and confrontational and, when it resorts to reducing opposing arguments to absurdity, devastatingly biting and witty. It is recommended for those with a particular interest in exploring Swedenborg’s theological views and seeing the biblical support he offers for them. Swedenborg also included extensive accounts of his spiritual experiences in this work. 
    Volume 2 covers topics such as freedom of choice, repentance, the transformation of a person’s inner being during spiritual awakening, the rites of baptism and the Holy Supper (Communion), and the Second Coming of the Lord.

    What does the Bible have to say about the end times? Bible prophecy reveals much concerning the end of the age, but for most believers, these prophecies can seem vague, confusing, or downright strange. Beloved author Derek Prince assures listeners concerned about what the future holds that the Bible's proven record of accuracy, extending over many centuries, validates its claim to predict future events with authority. The "secret things" may remain hidden from us, he says, but our responsibility is to study and act on the "revealed things." And the God who foretells the future is the one who will see us safely through. 
     
     
     
    This biblical, thorough treatment of end-times prophecy from an internationally respected Bible teacher is positioned to become the definitive word on the last days, both for Derek Prince's loyal listeners and for many new ones who will catch the vision of the glorious victory to come.

    This is a Pariyatti audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 157, "The Bodhisattva Concept" by A.G.S. Kariyawasam found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. V.
     
    Excerpt from The Bodhisattva Concept:
     
    In original Pali Buddhism, the term bodhisatta is used more or less exclusively to designate Gautama Buddha prior to his enlightenment.
     
    'The concept of bodhisattva, along with that of Buddha and of the cakravartin (world-ruler), was in vogue in India even before the appearance of Gautama Buddha. When Prince Siddhārtha, who later became Gautama Buddha, took conception in the womb of Queen Māyā, a seer predicted that Suddhodana’s future son would be either a world-ruler (cakravartin) or a Buddha. Once, answering a question by a brahmin, the Buddha himself admitted that he is neither a god nor a yakkha, but a Buddha, meaning thereby one of a succession of Buddhas (A II 38).
