Show and Tell, holding nothing back can bring the believers and unbelievers into the reality of the truth, not only hearing but also seeing and confession the Word. "Yes, Lord, we have heard of You by our ears, but now our faith wants to see You just as Stephen saw You Powerful Now is your time Show and Tell reveals the most powerful and needed revelations hidden from the foundation of the World through images-manifestations. The Spirit of the Lord gave many images to clarify the truth of His Holy Scriptures because of His Love for the world. (John 3) These images are neither God nor Yeshua-Jesus only illustrations for revelations- manifestations" God is Spirit, Yeshua is Spirit, the Holy Ghost is Spirit, Satan is a spirit and we are spirits as well housed in humans bodies.
Show and Tell covers many things that the people of God need to consider, receive and progress from believing to knowing until assuring through the truth of the Holy Word. The Book has something for believers and unbelievers as well, teaches how the ungodly are justified by their faith, believers first things first. Freed, sanctified and healed from sickness and sin, knowing sin sickness is the worse illness. Made whole and free through the Truth. Forgiveness based on our forgiveness, confessions, and repentance, three categories of murdering spirits even in the children of God, abominations, and curses and blessings. All believers need continuing purifications by the Blood and the washing of the Word, because of present and forthcoming sins. Glorified by God if, one glorifies His Son Yeshua-Jesus. Truth-hearing, receiving- seeing-confession and obedience, brings healing to the hearts, minds bodies and souls and lighting up the world. True- love, what it is and not according to the Holy Word and faithfulness in the body of the Messiah. God's Kingdom in us is-righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost, makes one perfect- complete if continued
God did not show His Son to all people, but today is our time to hear, receive, see, and confess, but we need to have evil spirits cast out by the Holy Word before we can see clearly and for Yeshua-Jesus to appear a second time. Showing how the people of God can progress and pursue Rock- solid faith through believing, receiving, confession and repentance. Let Peter, Stephen, Paul, Job, the man of Ethiopia a eunuch, and most of all, the Messiah be our examples to follow. If the Holy Word teaches it, receive it, and if not then spit it out Lord Yeshua-Jesus, heard very little about you by my ears, until I search the scriptures and found you for myself, but now my eyes continue to search and see You from (Genesis-Revelation). God spoke and Yeshua-Jesus created, God speaks through Yeshua His Son unto man and he creates. "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness" (Gen. 1:26) Lord, my desires is to be just like You, no man has the power to stop me only me. Satan has the authority to try you, but you have the power and should have the faith to resist.

Описание: This book argues that we have been mistaken about the fundamental assumption that Christianity is the key to understanding the “Christian” martyr. Examining martyrdom in early Christian history, Matt Recla argues that the violent deaths of martyrs, real and imagined, were appropriated for Christian institutional life. Through deconstructing martyrdom and appreciating the complexity of the martyr, we recognize martyrdom not as a socio-historical phenomenon inherent to particular ideologies, and not as a religious “identity” but as the institutional co-optation of violence. The Christian apologist Tertullian argued that the blood of the martyrs was the seed of the Church, but while the seed may be the key to martyrdom, the blood is the key to the martyr.
The book shows how martyrs exceed the bounds of institutional narrative. Centering analysis of martyrdom first around the martyr’s existential difference and the complex biological, psychological, and socio-cultural factors that lead to willing death, this book sheds new light on the motivations of martyrs, our fascination with them, and the parasitic relationship of religion to violent death.
In challenging long-held beliefs about the praiseworthiness of martyrdom, this book is of interest to scholars of religion as well as those concerned about the relationship between religion and violence.
In Rethinking Poverty, James P. Bailey argues that most contemporary policies aimed at reducing poverty in the United States are flawed because they focus solely on insufficient income. Bailey argues that traditional policies such as minimum wage laws, food stamps, housing subsidies, earned income tax credits, and other forms of cash and non-cash income supports need to be complemented by efforts that enable the poor to save and accumulate assets. Drawing on Michael Sherraden’s work on asset building and scholarship by Melvin Oliver, Thomas Shapiro, and Dalton Conley on asset discrimination, Bailey presents us with a novel and promising way forward to combat persistent and morally unacceptable poverty in the United States and around the world.
Rethinking Poverty makes use of a significant body of Catholic social teachings in its argument for an asset development strategy to reduce poverty. These Catholic teachings include, among others, principles of human dignity, the social nature of the person, the common good, and the preferential option for the poor. These principles and the related social analyses have not yet been brought to bear on the idea of asset-building for the poor by those working within the Catholic social justice tradition. This book redresses this shortcoming, and further, claims that a Catholic moral argument for asset-building for the poor can be complemented and enriched by Martha Nussbaum’s “capabilities approach.” This book will affect current debates and practical ways to reduce poverty, as well as the future direction of Catholic social teaching.

Описание:
What does it cost to follow Jesus? For these men and women, the answer was clear. They were ready to give witness to Christ in the face of intense persecution, even if it cost them their lives. From the stoning of Stephen to Nigerian Christians persecuted by Boko Haram today, these stories from around the world and through the ages will inspire greater faithfulness to the way of Jesus, reminding us what costly discipleship looks like in any age.
Since the birth of Christianity, the church has commemorated those who suffered for their faith in Christ. In the Anabaptist tradition especially, stories of the boldness and steadfastness of early Christian and Reformation-era martyrs have been handed down from one generation to the next through books such as Thieleman van Braght's Martyrs Mirror (1660). Yet the stories of more recent Christian witnesses are often unknown.
Bearing Witness tells the stories of early Christian martyrs Stephen, Polycarp, Justin, Agathonica, Papylus, Carpus, Perpetua, Tharacus, Probus, Andronicus, and Marcellus, followed by radical reformers Jan Hus, Michael and Margaretha Sattler, Weynken Claes, William Tyndale, Jakob and Katharina Hutter, Anna Janz, Dirk Willems. But the bulk of the book focuses on little-known modern witness including Veronika L hans, Jacob Hochstetler, Gnadenh tten, Joseph and Michael Hofer, Emanuel Swartzendruber, Regina Rosenberg, Eberhard and Emmy Arnold, Johann Kornelius Martens, Ahn Ei Sook, Jakob Rempel, Clarence Jordan, Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand, Tulio Pedraza, Stanimir Katanic, Samuel Kakesa, Kasai Kapata, Meserete Kristos Church, Sarah Corson, Alexander Men, Jos Chuqu n, Norman Tattersall, Katherine Wu, and Ekklesiyar Yan'uwa a Nigeria.
This book is part of the Bearing Witness Stories Project, a collaborative story-gathering project involving Anabaptist believers from many different traditions.
Описание: This analysis of vampire stories explores the benefits of the bonding experiences of breastfeeding and Christian and vampire narratives, arguing that modern readers and viewers are drawn to this genre because of our innate fascination with the relationship between human and maker.
