The biblical shorthand of theological language is useful for expressing complicated doctrines-but only for those who understand it. Key Words of the Christian Life de-mystifies words and concepts like "justification," "sanctification," and "adoption into the family of God" for lay readers. Each chapter focuses on a New Testament word or phrase that has important implications for the believer's life and faith. Warren Wiersbe gives easy-to-grasp explanations of each word's theological meaning, along with practical application for the Christian life. Wiersbe's careful teaching will be invaluable to everyone from new believers to those looking for resources to teach others the powerful implications of key Bible words.

The purpose in writing this book is to share with you, the readers and followers of Jesus, the deeper meaning of who we are as Christians. It may come as a surprise to many that the Christian life is not a "surprisingly easy task." The roots go deep as we will explore. Christianity is a new way of life. You might also say it's a journey or a walk of endurance and obedience to our Lord and King. Another way to say this is that it's a walk of faith as we strive to obey God's commands. So what is a Christian? Glad you asked. A Christian is simply one who follows the teachings of the very incarnate son of God--Jesus. Unlike all other world religions, Christianity is a personal relationship with the God and Creator of the Universe! * It begins with a call to believe in God: O Seeker, Is God Calling? * This is followed by the big eternal question, But Why, God, and Why Me? * Digging deeper at the heart of the Gospel is A Call to Obedience--Ouch! * Followed by living out that new life in A Call to New Life in Christ * And finally, a discussion on the undergirding of our Christian walk: A Call to Grow in Our Faith Faith is a big topic and is what God gives us to keep everything in balance. This book seeks to entertain certain points along life's journey. These five essays touch on various topics that we all, as Christians, struggle with at times. And as a bonus, there's a self-study/Bible study to work through.

The meaning and significance of the Christian faith are diminished when its key words are not understood. Christians have a special vocabulary of holy words, but often have difficulty explaining what those words mean. As a result, blessings of understanding and spiritual comfort are less than full. This book is designed to help Christians express and appreciate the most important of faith's Holy Words.We assume, for example, that everyone knows what holy or glory or sin mean. But when we explore the history of these words we uncover a new depth of understanding. Preachers and lay leaders will find this resource helpful in their sermon preparation and Bible study.The index lists over 130 frequently used words, numbers, and phrases which have special significance in biblical and religious writings. Some examples are: amen, benediction, clergy, devil, Eucharist, kyrie, love, Yahweh; and numbers such as 1, 3, 4, 7, 10, 40, and 70 x 7. Also included is an eight-lesson guide that will help users conduct a fascinating group study.

The words we use and live by have a life of their own. They come, they go, they change. Learn what certain words mean in Scripture, and learn to live by the Word of God. Words, both written and spoken, allow us to communicate, but we do not always read or hear them in the same way. Meanings change over time, and some words really do lose something in translation. What does Abba, Father mean? What is edification? Knowing what words like fellowship, hope, and redeem mean will give you a better understanding of biblical teaching on salvation and Christian living.

A straight forward simple life-changing easy to read common sense look at the complexity of today’s difficulties according to and surrounding God’s Word, the Bible and Christianity. Did God simply hit the start button on creation and walk away like it sometimes feels? He is almost always active with us daily, hourly, minute by minute! Life is beautiful if we allow it to be and we are blessed beyond measure! Your success depends on what you truly believe, what drives your existence. If you work hard enough at what your heart’s desire is about, it will happen; especially if you are working at something in God’s name and in His timing. Remember God’s plans for you existed before you were born. So, what do you spend your time on? Ask God for help in changing the part of you that He dislikes; those things that are negative in nature, learn to love yourself. Beware of distractions, piddling, deviations from your purposes, mostly they are wrong for you to do at that time. However, sometimes “fires” do occur and must be put out. The distractions I am alluding to come from fragmented thoughts that lead you to deviate from your plan; you end up in a room and don’t even remember why you are there. If something pops up that requires your attention write it down on your to do list. Everyone should have such a list but often they also are simply a distraction list that keeps you from what you ought to be doing. People within a congregation, those on the edge or outside of Christianity, and those trying to make some sense out of their career and life experiences in these difficult times while hanging on to Christian principles they believe in need this book. Millions of Christians and non-Christians alike need more information and guidance for clarity in a confusing world that often conflicts with one's normal Christian values. This book helps define how we can keep a firm grasp on what we believe and apply those principles with a new sense of realization in our life and career. It is in that mode that it was developed.
