But when a stranger arrives and starts asking disconcerting questions, she suspects he may have other motives than unseating her in the training job that is rightfully hers.

The Culture of God's Word -...

Lucas V. Woodford, Harold L....

When It Comes to Spreading the Gospel, Relevance Is Irrelevant 
· A thoroughly biblical approach to social witness and the transformation of souls 
· Reminds us that while we have a part to play in evangelism, it is God who Gives the increase 
 
Some fight to recover Christian culture; others abandon any hope of transforming culture. Both mindsets are at odds with the early church. The apostles weren't seeking to convert cultures but people, because God's word cultivates its own culture--the culture of the word. When the word is sown, the culture is grown. Our mission remains the same today: a stubborn commitment to proclaim God's word. 
 
In The Culture of God's Word, Harold L. Senkbeil and Lucas V. Woodford reclaim the biblical approach to transformation and social witness. By returning to the apostles' own example in the book of Acts, we are reminded of the power of the gospel. God's word embraces broken hearts and broken lives and transforms them in Christ Jesus. The church is born of God's word and grows by God's word. The pursuit of relevance has failed. The culture wars distract from the mission. But God's word cultivates a faith that endures in a chaotic world.  
 
"Neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth." --1 Corinthians 3:7

Faith: Words and Actions

ShaykhPod Books

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
Introduction 
The following short book discusses the importance of supporting one’s claim to faith with actions. This discussion is based on Chapter 2 Al Baqarah, Verses 130-134 of the Holy Quran: 
“And who would be averse to the religion of Abraham except one who makes a fool of himself. And We had chosen him in this world, and indeed he, in the Hereafter, will be among the righteous. When his Lord said to him, "Submit," he said, "I have submitted [in Islam] to the Lord of the worlds.” And Abraham instructed his sons and [so did] Jacob, [saying], "O my sons, indeed Allah has chosen for you this religion, so do not die except while you are Muslims." Or were you witnesses when death approached Jacob, when he said to his sons, "What will you worship after me?" They said, "We will worship your God and the God of your fathers, Abraham and Ishmael and Eesaac - one God. And we are Muslims [in submission] to Him.” That was a nation which has passed on. It will have [the consequence of] what it earned, and you will have what you have earned. And you will not be asked about what they used to do.” 
Implementing the lessons discussed will aid a Muslim to Adopt Positive Characteristics. Adopting Positive Characteristics Leads to Peace of Mind and Body.
