TAKING HOLD OF LIFE: Rescuing the Gospel from Religious Tyranny - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

THE JOYFUL JOURNEY TO ABUNDANT LIFE — Much of the church has fallen prey to religiosity and legalism, leaving its followers feeling an empty drudgery in their attempted spiritual walk. But that’s not the way Christian life is meant to be! The true Church is of the Kingdom of God, which when reflected “on earth as it is in heaven” ushers in freedom, peace, hope and joy. These are not merely empty promises or meaningless feelings. Through knowing God, believing in Jesus, and relying on the Holy Spirit, we can discover the love and blessings we were created for. Despite everything in the world—and even the church—that might discourage us or cause us to feel defeat, when we are in relationship with the Lord, we can engage the unexplored mysteries God invites us to be part of and in them we can find the awe and wonder of God’s Kingdom on earth. We can rescue the Gospel from religious tyranny, and in doing so, we will take hold of life and experience the joy and abundance only possible in Christ.Timothy d’Albenas grew up in the Bahamas. While living in Canada for several years in his early twenties, he was powerfully impacted by the Jesus People Movement of the 1970s. Through extraordinary encounters, he became aware of the reality of Jesus Christ and the power of the scriptures. Over the last 40 years he has served in several areas of ministry including administration, counseling, pastoring, teaching and international missions. He currently serves as a pastor at Valley Shore Assembly of God in Old Saybrook, Connecticut. The hunger God placed in his heart as a young man to know the ways of God has never left him. He still loves the adventure.
