Eichman, Nancy Gospel Advocate Company 2013-10-18 Christian life -- Christian life. -- Churches of Christ authors. -- Woman, Christian. -- Women's studies. 9780892256471
Leave Your Mask Behind - Follow Christ In our world of designer knockoffs, imitation leather and artificial sweeteners, we discover that people can be artificial too. We play one another in the game of life. We lack sincerity and depth and wear plastic smiles. We don't say what we mean, and don't mean what we say. But there is hope: "Reality ... is found in Christ" (Colossians 2:17). We do not have to be the people-pleasing, mask wearing women we see so often in the world. We can be transformed into genuine women of God by modeling our lives after the truly authentic One: Jesus Christ. In this book, Nancy Eichman presents the attitudes and habits we should drop and those we should adopt in order to be more authentic -to be more like Christ. So leave your mask at the door and join Nancy for a refreshing look at what your life can be when you learn to live Beyond the Masquerade.

Church Of Christ, The
Call Num: 270 WHA
Wharton, Edward C Gospel Advocate Company 2010-06-01 Church -- Church of Christ. -- New Testament Christianity. 0892255765
The Distinctive Nature of the New Testament Church. Behind the historical church of the New Testament lies the purpose and wisdom of God. The New Testament church is a unique institution of divine origin. The systematic study of Scripture reveals that Christianity is ordered after a pattern and possesses a distinct identity: designed by the Lord, conveyed through the words of the apostles, and seen in the practice of early Christians. Only when following this pattern can we fulfill the command to glorify God in the church. In this study, Edward C. Wharton establishes that Scripture contains a divine pattern for the church of Christ. He then presents a systematic study of the biblical passages relating to the church, creating a clear understanding of the pattern set by God.

Chambers, Dan FaithWorks Press 2012-07-13 Church -- New Testament Christianity. 9780985890308
"Could you tell me something about the church of Christ?" "Could you tell me the difference between the church of Christ and the ___________ church?" If you've ever asked questions like these--or been on the receiving end of them-- then this is the book for you. Expect to walk away from this book not only knowing what churches of Christ are all about, but also with a clear understanding of many of the beliefs and practices that distinguish them from other church groups. Don't be surprised, though, if you also walk away with a renewed conviction that being a New Testament-shaped church is a goal worth pursuing, and that doing things God's way really does matter.

Is your faith built on the Rock or on Sand? Jesus' parable about two houses, one built on a rock and the other built on sand, has provided encouragement and warning for students of God's Word. In Phil Sanders' newest book, A Faith Built on Sand, he examines the dangers inherent in a faith that has no foundation more substantial than sand. Sanders confronts such current movements and positions as society's influence on Christianity, cultural morality, tolerance, the emerging church and synthetic Christianity. He explores the flaws evident in each of these when compared with God's inspired Word. He insists the only viable solution to this sand-based faith is finding your way back to the cross.

JOHN 10:10 "I HAVE COME THAT THEY MAY HAVE LIFE, AND THAT THEY MAY HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY." In many ways, life is like a football game. In times of abundant living, when everything is going your way, you gain a few yards and make a touchdown. But equally as certain there are times when you lose a few yards or you are tackled on the way to your goal. So how do you prepare yourself for life's ups and downs? You get out God's Playbook and see what His game plan is for you. Aubrey Johnson points out that a coach, including our heavenly Coach, "can draw up perfect plays, put them in a book for you, and remind you to do your homework, but he cannot study and practice for you." That's where strategy comes in. Using a football field analogy, Johnson identifies 10 strategies for Christian growth - things such as commitment, discipline and perseverance - to help you gain yardage on reaching your goal. Once you've figured out your strengths and weaknesses as a player on God's team, you begin the task of following the strategies presented in your playbook for living the abundant life.

Music In Worship : A New Examination of an Old Issue
Call Num: 264.2 ALE
Alexander, Thomas C Gospel Advocate Company 2010-08-27 Music, Instrumental. -- Music in churches. -- Singing. -- Worship 0892255722
Does the Bible justify instrumental music for Christian worship? In 2006, advocates for the use of instrumental music in worship presented a three-part series titled "The Both/And Church," suggesting that people should read old texts in fresh, new ways. These advocates proposed that their understanding of biblical texts justifies instruments in church worship. Since that time, some churches have followed their lead. Ironically, this misreading of the relevant biblical texts is not new. The arguments made by these proponents are the arguments that have been made since the late 1800s among advocates of instrumental music in worship. Thomas Alexander answers these "new" arguments in a caring, biblical way in Music in Worship. He carefully evaluates each of the reasons given by "both/and church" proponents and shows that the facts about what God wants in worship have not changed - human attitudes have.

It is the sad truth that an individual could have been sitting in the pews of many congregations of the Lord's Church every Sunday for the past 20 years and have never seen a person publicly withdrawn from. Congregations that have been so faithful in other areas of their corporate life have chosen to neglect the command to disfellowship. Christians in the Church know that such is the case. They have been sitting in those pews for the past several decades bearing silent witness to this fact. Many saw public withdrawal done in the days of their parents or in "years gone by," but are painfully aware of its absence in recent years. It is high time we revisited God's command to lovingly withdraw fellowship from those who refuse to repent in an effort to save their souls.

In a modern world that demands change in virtually every aspect of life, especially religion and worship, God's eternal plan for the Church refuses to budge. It is the same today as it was on the Day of Pentecost when 3,000 souls were added to the Church. And it will be the same 2,000 years from now, should the world last that long. Unfortunately, many of the young people in the Lord's Church are being influenced to "adjust" God's will to make it more acceptable to the ever-changing world in which they live. Satan is effectively drawing many of our youth away from the old Cross Road, into the broad way of "contemporary worship," less stringent qualifications for salvation, less reliance on the Bible, and more feeling-oriented decision making. Knowing that the youth of today comprise the church leaders of tomorrow, Satan delights in filling our young people's minds with dissatisfaction with God's eternal plan for the Church, worship, salvation, and morality. He perches on their spiritual shoulders and whispers, "You must change. You must fit in. You must keep pace with the world." Waves of Change is a book designed to combat Satan's cries for change. It is designed to help our youth critically analyze where such changes come from and where they will lead. It is a book intended to direct their minds in the fundamental truths of God's Word and equip them to deal with many of the sinful changes that are bombarding the Church, while at the same time offering a well-balanced approach that veers neither to the right nor the left. It is our hope and prayer that this book will help those who study it to avoid being tossed about with every wind of doctrine (Ephesians 4:14), and to effectively stand strong against the powerful waves of change. This book contains material that deals with such topics as the Holy Spirit, baptism, women's role in worship, instrumental music, lifting holy hands, and much more.

Is one church better than another church? Are some churches right and other churches wrong? Can a person simply pick whatever church he or she enjoys the most? These, and other such questions, often weigh on the minds of sincere religious people. In truth, there is really only one place to go to find the answers to such questions-the Bible. God's Word contains "all things that pertain to life and godliness" (2 Peter 1:3). It is the standard by which religious matters must be judged. In the end, the teachings and actions of every church or religion must be examined in light of what the Bible says about them.
