The Christians Unity With Christ

Vital themes behind Christian unity are often overlooked in the press of sentiment for greater ecumenicity. This study seeks to examine the depths of true spiritual unity.

This book digs deeply into the Christian's walk of grace. We look into the grace of God. You will get to understand the Christian's relationship to the law! You will understand that Christ's redemption unites the Christian with Christ! That Christ's unity with the Christian is entirely the grace of God! God will increase your faith in Christ and your dependency on Christ. Every Christian's relationship with Christ is through Christ's substitutional death on the cross along with his resurrection. Yet, some Christians will live in a spiritual desert the remainder of their life! There is hope! God has made the Christian's relationship with Christ to be the strongest and most glorious relationship known to humanity! Make the Scriptures in this book a continual part of your daily devotions and experience God working in you daily!

This text is one of the most important and yet approachable works produced by Cyril. It was written after the Council of Ephesus (431) to explain his doctrine to an international audience. Cyril argues for the single divine subjectivity of Christ, and describes how it encompasses a full and authentic humanity in Jesus - a human experience that is not overwhelmed by the divine presence, but fostered and enhanced by it. Christology becomes then, for St Cyril, a paradigm for the transfigured and redeemed life of the Christian. There is an introduction to the historical and theological background of the time, of the text and to St Cyril himself.

"Christian Unity Through God's Starter Kit By Jesus" was written by Bill McCracken from the perspective of a layman that determined in his heart to do things God's way on October 18, 1983 and after about a year of peace found himself in a battle he wasn't prepared for by his church. This is the story of what God has taught him through the eyes of the Bible, our window to the spiritual realm. He found that through God's riches in Christ Jesus that God had given him a "Starter Kit" of truth, wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, justification, glorification, holiness, remission, redemption, mercy, grace and peace with God, so we can take that "Starter Kit" and become wise, righteous, sanctified, just, trustworthy, holy, washed in His Word, redeemed, merciful, compassionate peacemakers so that he could go into spiritual warfare knowing who he is in Christ Jesus. Bill also found that we as Christians are all one in Christ Jesus according to Galatians 3:26-28 and that God's Word says that God wants no divisions among his people in First Corinthians 1:10 plus other scriptures that tell us to be in one accord, likeminded, of one mind, that we all speak the same thing, that we be perfectly joined together and that we should all come together in the unity of the faith. Sadly, Bill found that Christianity is deeply divided and splintered with over 38,000 different denominations worldwide and 1,500 in the United States alone. We must come together as one and defeat our one and only enemy, satan and his demons. Fortunately, when Bill came to God he literally did not know an epistle from an apostle and God could take that empty vessel and fill it with the truth from God's Word. He received the baptism of the Holy Ghost on November 26, 1983 and then could could begin to teach him through ministering to others, failure or experience (the fire), books and tapes, preaching and it's amazing what you learn when you look up a word in a Bible concordance and learn the definition from the Greek dictionary. You know the definition, and then see how God teaches it in the Bible and it really isn't that difficult. Learn about God's Starter Kit by Jesus, born again, repentance, baptism, the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire and the armor of God. Learn what a "fiery dart" is and how to defeat the "fiery darts of the wicked" and the story of satan and God's plan through Christ Jesus that defeated him. Learn about the covenant God has made with His children through His Son and then the authority He has given Christians in the spiritual realm in the Name of Jesus. Revelation 12:11, "And they overcame him (the devil) by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus-The Word of God), and by the word of their testimony." Our testimony is very important to help others overcome the works of the devil when we combine it with the works of the cross and the Word of God. First John 3:8, "For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil." God's blessings-Bill McCracken

No period of history was more formative for the development of Christianity than the patristic age, when church leaders, monks, and laity established the standard features of Christianity as we know it today. Combining historical and theological analysis, Christopher Beeley presents a detailed and far-reaching account of how key theologians and church councils understood the most central element of their faith, the identity and significance of Jesus Christ. Focusing particularly on the question of how Christ can be both human and divine and reassessing both officially orthodox and heretical figures, Beeley traces how an authoritative theological tradition was constructed. His book holds major implications for contemporary theology, church history, and ecumenical discussions, and it is bound to revolutionize the way in which patristic tradition is understood.

"Diversity, tolerance, inclusivity, and social justice are the chief values of postmodernity and political correctness. In a culture where these are deemed some of the last remaining virtues and biblical principles are routinely scorned, what should the church's posture be? Should Christians adjust the gospel, remodel our message, and bring our statements of faith more in line with the world's thinking? To ask that question is to answer it. But in case the answer isn't clear, these superbly-written essays spell it out in brilliant detail. I'm grateful for the courage of these men and the clarity of their voices. This is a vitally important volume, sounding all the right notes of passion, warning, instruction, and hope."--Phil Johnson, Executive Director of Grace To You

With Playing God, Andy Crouch opens the subject of power, elucidating its subtle activity in our relationships and institutions. He gives us much more than a warning against abuse, though. Turning the notion of "playing God" on its head, Crouch celebrates power as the gift by which we join in God's creative, redeeming work in the world.
