Reclaiming an Evangelical History of Activism In recent years,
there has been renewed interest by evangelicals in the topic of
biblical social justice. Younger evangelicals and millennials, in
particular, have shown increased concern for social issues. But
this is not a recent development. Following World War II, a new
movement of American evangelicals emerged who gradually increased
their efforts on behalf of justice. This work explains the
important historical context for evangelical reengagement with
social justice issues. The authors provide an overview of
post-World War II evangelical social justice and compassion
ministries, introducing key figures and seminal organizations that
propelled the rediscovery of biblical justice. They explore
historical and theological lessons learned and offer a way forward
for contemporary Christians.
In a post-9/11 world, Christian. Muslim. Friend. lays out a path
toward authentic friendship between Christians and Muslims. Most
similar books either teach Christians to evangelize Muslims or else
downplay their Christian commitments. The author, who has lived and
worked among and befriended Muslims for more than fifty years,
offers readers a third way: holding onto the Christ-centered
commitments of their faith while cultivating peaceful friendship
with Muslims.
Who Are You? I am who God says I am. I can do what God says I can
do. I can become exactly what God says I can become. You are a
miracle. And that's exactly what this study is about-your true
identity. Who you really are. The culture will try to define you,
your past may try to label you, the enemy will seek to deceive you,
but no one has the authority to give you your name-your
identity-except your Father. And He says that your uniqueness is an
expression of His creative genius and is designed to reflect His
glory. Join Priscilla for eight weeks and begin to understand what
it means to be created in God's image and recreated in Christ's
image as His masterpiece. Once you discover who God says you are
and the spiritual inheritance that you have, you can start walking
in your true identity as a daughter of the most high King. You'll
spend your whole life either trying to be and become something you
were never meant to be, or discovering who you are in Him and
living up to that standard by the power of His Spirit within you.
You are His! And you were created for the purpose of reflecting
God's light to the world. Like all of God's miracles, your life
will leave a lasting impact if you'll simply be yourself,
surrendered to God, molded by His Spirit, and on mission for
Him.Defined Teen Girls' Bible Study Leader Kit includes a Bible
