Leviathan or The Matter, Forme and Power of a Commonwealth Ecclesiasticall and Civil, commonly referred to as Leviathan, is a book written by Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) and published in 1651 (revised Latin edition 1668).Its name derives from the biblical Leviathan. The work concerns the structure of society and legitimate government, and is regarded as one of the earliest and most influential examples of social contract theory. Written during the English Civil War (1642-1651), it argues for a social contract and rule by an absolute sovereign. Hobbes wrote that civil war and the brute situation of a state of nature ("the war of all against all") could only be avoided by strong, undivided government.
Описание: Today the chasm between rich and poor is constantly widening. While the wealthy seem to acquire more and more, the impoverished struggle to survive and thrive. This problem pervades not only the secular world but also modern Christianity. The Western church continues to spend more of its resources on its own needs than on those whom God calls us to see and to serve. Perhaps worse, the wealthiest church in history has often become complicit with systemic structures that perpetuate poverty in their own cities. Author and pastor Jimmy Dorrell explains that Scripture demands a drastically different attitude and approach from the wealthy regarding the poor.In Commonwealth: Transformation through Christian Community Development, Dorrell explores the cultural entrapment of the modern church regarding wealth and relationships and calls all Christians to live out genuine love for their neighbors. Drawing on experiences from his time at Mission Waco | Mission World and Church Under the Bridge, and undergirded by a thorough and holistic engagement with Scripture, Christian history, and effective models, Dorrell provides a practical and timely exploration of what it means for the church to be a place of redemption for all of God's people - the rich and the poor.Christian community development rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ is how we become neighbors in the biblical sense. Beyond handouts and increased donations, it is only when the poor and marginalized of our communities are empowered that the whole city truly prospers. There is a commonwealth of resources and gifts in all classes, and, if we choose to work together, we can change unjust structures of privilege and favoritism. Dorrell challenges us to see that it is only when we understand how financial prosperity often deepens hardheartedness toward Christ and our neighbors that the Christian church can make the good news of Jesus Christ tangible in our communities and world.

Drawing on experiences from twenty-eight years at Mission Waco | Mission World and Church Under the Bridge, and undergirded by a thorough and holistic engagement with Scripture, Christian history, and effective models, Dorrell's team has restored one of the most underserved neighborhoods in his community with programs for the unemployed, the homeless, the sick, the addicted and struggling children and teens. They even created a non-profit grocery store in the food desert, transformed a pornographic theater, and built an economic center in a former liquor store.Christian community development rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ is how we become neighbors in the biblical sense.

Everyone needs extra strength and encouragement in their walk with the Lord. As we journey in our Christian life, we experience sickness and death, loneliness and suffering, and fear and doubt. Sometimes we do not understand ourselves or God, or we want to give up. At other times, we may need a reminder of the true meaning of Easter, Christmas, repentance, and forgiveness. In some instances, we are searching for a meditation to help us praise the Lord or one to push us toward serving others. The poems, reflections, and scriptures in this book can offer us a special word from the Lord for these times, helping us to be strong and courageous, leading us to a spiritual place that is closer to His heart and to the hope we need to continue this lifelong journey of faith.

Описание:
Blood Covenant was written by Pastor Raji, journal style, and a body of work built up over many years of teaching, preaching, and mentoring. The author speaks empathetically to the church, even as he is a shepherd. This book explores the subject of faith from a profound reflection on how unchanging, unyielding, and unbreakable God's promises are for the believer. Many Christians often pursue needlessly after what God has already offered them because they don't understand how their covenant with God operates. This book tackles the subject fiercely and with lucid arguments. It's not an attempt to side-line the believer's journey. Instead, it is an affirmation of what bountiful blessings already apply to each one who believes. It's a book that sets out to liberate the Christian from the works of the flesh and an attempt to create salvation built on the needless pursuit of personal works. Relying on sound doctrinal exegesis, Blood Covenant takes the reader on a journey through the scripture. It explores the redemption journey and explains coherently how the Christian can and should benefit from the covenant with God. The book also attempts to show the reader how to access the blessings of covenants by faith. It's passionately written, open-hearted, convincing, comforting, and uplifting.
