A Manual for Young Church-Members (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from A Manual for Young Church-Members Had I written with a view to controversy, the aspect of these pages would have been very difi'erent, - the margin would have been duly fortified with an array of authorities -and here and there might have been a Sprinkling of Greek, signifying the state of the author's equipments for disputation. But writing first for a popular au dience, and then for readers of common learning, I have chosen to omit all those citations, and all those references to learned authors, which to such readers would be altogether unprofitable.

The Young Church-Member


Book Description

Excerpt from The Young Church-Member: A Manual of Instruction for Young People of the Methodist Church The great commandment in the law is "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God," and the second is like unto it, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." "On these two hang all the law and the prophets." So this manual concerns itself first with an interpretation of God, as revealed in Jesus, and as actively working in His world to-day. Then the attention of the young church member is directed to his relation to God's great family in all the world, and finally to the Church, as one of the chief agencies in making God known to His people. The fundamental viewpoint is social. That is, God is conceived not as existing in a realm apart, but as living in actual personal relationship with us. And men's religion is conceived as relating them with God in living fellowship, and with each other in mutual interdependence and helpfulness.

Liberating Ministry from the Success Syndrome


Book Description

Every year thousands of God's servants leave the ministry convinced they are failures. Years ago, in the midst of a crisis of faith, Kent Hughes almost became one of them. But instead he and his wife Barbara turned to God's Word, determined to learn what God had to say about success and to evaluate their ministry from a biblical point of view. This book describes their journey and their liberation from the "success syndrome"-the misguided belief that success in ministry means increased numbers. In today's world it is easy to be seduced by the secular thinking that places a number on everything. But the authors teach that true success in ministry lies not in numbers but in several key areas: faithfulness, serving, loving, believing, prayer, holiness, and a Christlike attitude. Their thoughts will encourage readers who grapple with feelings of failure and lead them to a deeper, fuller understanding of success in Christian ministry. This book was originally published by Tyndale in 1987 and includes a new preface.
