Baptist courier (198 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. More than forty years ago, Danny Burnley was formally disassociated -- excommunicated -- from his home church. His crime? As a young deacon, he went to the pastor and asked him to prayerfully consider holding a reconciliation service to help heal the ongoing friction that existed between the pastor and the deacons. Dismissal from his church's fellowship was the worst thing and the best thing that had ever happened to him. It was the worst thing because it was like a divorce that tore apart a family, but it was the best thing because it ignited in Burnley a God-given desire to help struggling churches, which he has been busy doing for the last four decades. In>Excommunicated: 11 Steps to Church Revitalization, Burnley offers the lessons he has learned in helping churches battle against ineffectiveness. Through his ministry, he has helped bring churches back from the brink of closure.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. In an age where we are tempted to either be angry, weak, or arrogant; Convictional, Confessional, Cheerful Baptists argues about the importance of holding to Baptist Confessions and distinctives strongly and with a cheerful disposition. In this book, author Nate Akin, a passionate Baptist, delves into Baptist beliefs and how we can hold them well through the lenses of 1 Corinthians 16:13-14. Rooted in his own personal upbringing as a Baptist and theological studies, Akin articulates the importance of holding to Baptist doctrine through the categories of confession, conviction, courage, compassion, and cheerfulness.The book begins detailing the author's own journey to embrace these Baptist convictions while also sharing his concern that many who hold strongly to convictions often do so, it seems, without humility or joy. Akin shares in the preface: The first occasion for much of this book was a sermon at the annual Pillar Network Unite Conference. I called the sermon, "Convictional, Confessional, Courageous, Compassionate, Cheerful, and Corinthians Baptists." That sermon was borne out of a burden not only to hold strongly to what we believe but to do so in a distinctly Christian way. I want us Baptists to really be Baptists! I want us to have strong convictions but to hold to them joyfully and not like jerks. And yet, when I say "us," I know I'm really preaching to myself. I recognize my own temptations and faults. I know the secrets of my heart and how I often want to respond to others with whom I disagree.In Part 1, "What We Hold Dear and Why," the focus is on being convictional and confessional from 1 Corinthians 16:13a. Chapters 2 and 3 examine Baptist Confessions and how they have been understood and used throughout Baptist history. However, the book emphasizes that it is not enough to be confessional; one must also be convictional about the doctrines lined out in the confessions. So, the author turns his attention to the sort of doctrines that have distinguished Baptists throughout their history. In chapters 4-9, the doctrines of regenerate church membership, believer's baptism by immersion, locally autonomous elder-led congregationalism, and liberty of conscience are explored. In each chapter, the author highlights key texts, theologians, excerpts from confessions, and practical implications of each Baptist distinctive for identity and mission. Akin concludes this section by highlighting that Baptists seek to be doctrinally aligned for an evangelistic purpose. Part 2 is entitled "How Can We Hold These Convictions Well." In this part, Akin emphasizes the need for courage and compassion in the present hour. In seeking to make the point about being confessional, convictional, courageous and cheerful, Akin considers two case studies pertaining to current pressing issues. Akin takes a look at Christian Nationalism and complementarianism and how the confessions help us in navigating these hot topics. The book concludes by considering how the gospel can make us convictional and cheerful because we are reminded that we are forgiven.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Before there was a Woman's Missionary Union, there was Hephzibah Jenkins Townsend, a determined and courageous woman who transcended the societal constraints of the antebellum South to found a missionary society that would become the model for hundreds of others to follow. Hephzibah, mistress of a large plantation on South Carolina's Edisto Island, gave birth to fifteen children. Her passion was missions, and in order to fund missions and to found a church, Hephzibah and her beloved servant Bella started a baking business. Force of character and a profound sense of justice were the hallmarks of Hephzibah's life. This is her remarkable story. Rosalie Hall Hunt is an avid historian, especially of the women who have shaped missions. She is the daughter of missionaries, and she and her husband, Bob, served for thirty years as missionaries in eight Asian countries. She is the author of Bless God and Take Courage: The Judson History and Legacy, We've a Story to Tell: 125 Years of WMU, and other books and articles. She speaks at churches, retreats and conferences. Hunt and her husband live in Guntersville, Alabama. In the story of Hephzibah Jenkins Townsend, we see the true meaning of sacrificial giving and the power of one voice to change our culture and world. - Wanda Lee, Executive Director, Woman's Missionary Union, Southern Baptist Convention The wonderful research and the intriguing way Rosalie Hall Hunt shares Hephzibah's story will encourage you in your service. May we all be found as faithful as Hephzibah. - Linda Cooper, President, Woman's Missionary Union, Southern Baptist Convention There is no way to overestimate the importance of Hephzibah to the history of Baptist women in missions, and there is no way to really understand Hephzibah's story without the master storyteller Rosalie Hall Hunt. - Ruby Fulbright, Vice President, North American Baptist Women's Union.…
