| unmerited love meaning: Love and Respect in the Family Dr. Emerson Eggerichs, 2013-11-12 The secret to parenting success is out! Children need love, parents need respect. It's as simple and complex as that. Bestselling author Dr. Emerson Eggerichs has studied family dynamics for more than 30 years, earning a Ph.D. in Child and Family Ecology. As a senior pastor for nearly two decades, he builds on a foundation of strong biblical principles, walking the reader through an entirely new way to approach the family dynamic. When frustrated with an unresponsive child, a parent doesn’t declare, “You don’t love me.” Instead, the parent asserts, “You are being disrespectful right now.” A parent needs to feel respected, especially during conflicts. When upset a child does not whine, “You don’t respect me.” Instead, a child pouts, “You don’t love me.” A child needs to feel loved, especially during disputes. But here’s the rub: An unloved child or teen negatively reacts in a way that feels disrespectful to a parent. A disrespected parent negatively reacts in a way that feels unloving to the child. This dynamic gives birth to the FAMILY CRAZY CYCLE. This book teaches you to: See love and respect as basic family needs Stop the Family Crazy Cycle of conflict Parent in six biblical ways that energize your children Discipline defiance and overlook childishness Be the mature one since parenting is for adults only Become a loving parent in God's eyes, regardless of a child's response Based on what the Bible says about parenting, this book focuses on achieving healthy family dynamics. Dr. Eggerichs offers unprecedented transparency from his wife and three adult children, who share wisdom gained from the good, the bad, and the ugly of their family life. It's all here in this eye-opening exploration of the biblical principles on parenting that can help make families function as God intended. |

| unmerited love meaning: Becoming a Woman Who Pleases God Patricia Ennis, Lisa Tatlock, 2003-04-01 There is an enormous amount of confusion and deception about what it means to be a woman.

Readers will find themselves challenged to re-think their priorities, re-examine the position of the home, and re-work their definition of what it means to be a woman in whom God is well pleased. |
| unmerited love meaning: The Cross in the New Testament Leon Morris, 1999 This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. From time to time in the study of theology it becomes necessary to evaluate what Scripture has to say on certain crucial doctrines of the faith. Leon Morris presents here a survey of the vast subject of atonement as it is considered in the New Testament, also taking into account the most significant work that has been written on the subject. While Morris is concerned to emphasize the necessity of appreciating the many strands that are woven into the Christian doctrine of the atonement, he does not hesitate to criticize the views of modern scholars when those views are not wholly in accordance with the New Testament teaching. Here is a valuable apology, from an evangelical point of view, for the biblical doctrine of the atonement in the face of modern liberalism. At the heart of this doctrine is the idea of substitution, Morris believes, and his thorough examination and defense of this view contribute to making this volume a theological treatise of great usefulness and significance. |
| unmerited love meaning: Love Kindness Barry H. Corey, 2019-02-05 Kindness is not what we have been taught it is. It isn’t a soft virtue, expressed only by sweet grandmothers or nice Boy Scouts. Kindness is neither timid nor frail. Instead, it is brave and daring, willing to be vulnerable with those with whom we disagree. It is the revolutionary way that Jesus himself called us to live. The way of selfless risks. The way of staggering hope. The way of authenticity. Dr. Barry Corey, president of Biola University, believes we tend to devalue the importance of kindness, opting instead for caustic expressions of certainty that push people away. We forget that the essence of what God requires of us is to “love kindness.” In this book, filled with stories from his travels around the globe, Barry shows us the forgotten way of kindness. It is a life that calls us to put ourselves at risk. A life that calls us to hope. A life of a firm center and soft edges. It is the life Christ invites us to follow, no matter what the cost. This new paperback edition has an added chapter and a foreword from Steven Curtis Chapman. |

| unmerited love meaning: The Spirit-Led Leader Timothy C. Geoffrion, 2005-11-14 In our postmodern, experience-oriented culture, people are longing for greater authenticity, integrity, and depth in their pastors and leaders. Board directors, church members, and staff alike are all eagerly seeking leaders who effectively integrate their spirituality and leadership. Pastors and executives, however, often struggle with knowing how to integrate their spiritual values and practices into their leadership and management roles. Designed for pastors, executives, administrators, managers, coordinators, and all who see themselves as leaders and who want to fulfill their God-given purpose, The Spirit-Led Leader addresses the critical fusion of spiritual life and leadership for those who not only want to see results, but who also desire to care just as deeply about who they are and how they lead as they do about what they produce and accomplish. Geoffrion creates a new vision for spiritual leadership as partly an art, partly a result of careful planning, and always a working of the grace of God |

| unmerited love meaning: Love Disconsoled Timothy P. Jackson, 1999-11-25 Few concepts are more central to ethics than love, but none is more subject to false consolation. This 1999 book explores several theological, philosophical and literary accounts of love, focusing on how it relates to matters such as self-interest and self-sacrifice, and invulnerability and immortality. Timothy Jackson first considers key aspects of what the Bible says about love, then he further examines the meaning of love and sacrifice through a close reading of novels by Fitzgerald and Hemingway. Lastly, he evaluates how love constrains, and is constrained by, other traditional moral concepts. Throughout, Jackson defends the moral priority of what the Christian tradition calls 'agape'. He argues that a proper understanding of agapic love rejects both moral relativism and the comfort of believing that good people cannot be harmed, or that God causally necessitates every historical action and event. When love is thus disconsoled, it neither fears death nor despises life. |
| unmerited love meaning: Understanding the Faith Jeff Myers, 2016-06-01 Does the Bible have authority in a world committed to relative truth? The understanding of absolute, objective truth has been largely lost. Spend just a few minutes discussing politics or religion and you’ll hear responses like, “There is no truth!” or “That may be true for you, but not for me.” Understanding the Faith dares to wade into the middle of the controversy with chapters such as: Is God Christian? Isn’t Claiming Truth Intolerant? Is the Bible Anti-Science? Summit Ministries’ half century of teaching, this first volume of the Understanding the Times Series is your definitive resource for deepening and defending your faith. It’s a required resource for every Christian’s bookshelf. |

| unmerited love meaning: Philippians and Philemon Daniel L. Migliore, 2014-08-15 In this latest volume in the Belief series, Daniel L. Migliore plumbs the depth of Paul's letters to the Philippians and to Philemon. With splendid theological reflection, Migliore explores central themes of these remarkable letters--themes that include the practice of prayer, righteousness from God, and the work of reconciliation and transformation through Jesus Christ. Migliore shows how Philippians continues to speak to churches that, like the church at Philippi, struggle to be faithful to Christ, worry about the future, and need guidance. And in Philemon, Migliore finds a letter with importance far beyond its size--a letter that can enrich our understanding of the fullness of the gospel that Paul proclaims. In both books, Migliore deftly shows Paul as a remarkable theologian and pastor with a message instructive to the church of every age. |
| unmerited love meaning: Believe the Believable Virgil L. Brady, 2007-04-03 Dr. Virgil Brady claims one of the major reasons for indifference in the church stems from being asked to believe the unbelievable. People leave the church. Members become inactive or indifferent. A growing number of the population simply does not experience the church as a viable channel for expressing their religious convictions. Certain religious ideas play a role in the threat of terrorism. The author addresses the issues of unnecessary divisions and tension in our churches, the nation, and around the world. Believe the Believable will help people grow a strong faith while dealing with religious diversity. Written for laity, Believe the Believable uses intelligible language and helpful illustrations to clarify the basic tenets of the Christian faith. Church groups and classes will find Dr. Brady's book a useful resource. |

| unmerited love meaning: Evidence for the Resurrection Josh McDowell, Sean McDowell, 2010-12-09 When Jesus died on the cross, it seemed that all had been lost. Death had won. But after three days in a rich man's tomb, Jesus appeared...alive! The news was so shocking that his followers refused to believe it until they saw him with their own eyes and touched his wounds with their own hands. Then Jesus made an amazing claim: In the future, they too would have resurrected bodies like his, bodies that would never deteriorate, age, or perish. They would have new life without death or pain in the presence of a loving God forever. But can we really believe His promise? For that matter, can we really believe that the promise was made by a man who rose from the dead? In this fascinating look at the claims of the Gospel writers and 2,000 years of believing Christians, bestselling author Josh McDowell and his son Sean examine the compelling evidence and conclude that Jesus Christ conquered death and the grave. In clear, concise, and accessible chapters, Josh and Sean present the facts about the resurrection and what it means for readers today. |
| unmerited love meaning: Walking in Love J. Paul Sampley, 2016-02-01 Across the history of Christianity, Paul’s letters have been mined for doctrines like original sin and the “Fall” of Adam or for arguing that justification is by faith, not by works. J. Paul Sampley’s concern is not first with doctrines but with how Paul instructed, encouraged, built up—and, at times, chided—the followers who trekked behind him in “the upward call of God in Christ Jesus,” (Phil. 3:14). Sampley writes particularly for readers today who seek insight into the spiritual and moral life but are perplexed by the apostle. While taking seriously the distance between Paul and our time, he also understands Paul’s relevance for those seeking to live responsibly in a broken and alienated world. Sampley articulates how important themes in his letters—the grand narrative of God’s action, the new creation, the power of baptism and of the Lord’s Supper—serve the basic goal of calling people to faithful living and to “walking in love,” for God and for each other. Walking in Love is a clear exposition of the ethical dimension of Paul’s complex theology. |

| unmerited love meaning: Experiencing God Outside the Box Paul Meier, 2015-05-12 The greatest calling we can have during our brief journey here on Planet Earth is to earnestly yearn and search, without prejudice, for an intimate relationship with the one and only true Creator God, outside the box. The vast masses of humans never get this deep and blindly believe whatever they have been taught about God, often out of fear of rejection by family or peers. Others see God as a Heavenly Version of their earthly fathers. Paul Meier, MD, is a psychiatrist and theologian whose books have been read by over seven million people in over thirty languages all around the world, and he describes the many prejudicial mountains that must be climbed to become intimate with the real God. Dr. Meier also gives many positive ways to assist you to make that earnest search for Experiencing God Outside the Box. |
| unmerited love meaning: Discovering our Mission and Purposes Rudolph Burdett, 2019-07-31 THIS IS NOT A BOOK ON EVANGELISM. As a Christian, we all have a mission. Also, as a Christian, we should implement purposes in our life. Everything that is made is made for a purpose. To use something other than what it is made for can be disastrous. This book talks about what can and will cause us to lose our mission and purpose. It also challenges us to allow others to see Christ in us with specific traits that drive us and lead us to fulfilling our purposes. It offers a contrast to the cries of our secular society that reaches out and talks about what we need to do to discover our mission and purpose in Christ. Upon reading this book, a person will find out that many biblical characters experienced problems, but they continued in accomplishing their purposes and mission. In other words, they did not give up. We should not let anything hinder or cause us to quit. |
| unmerited love meaning: Grace, a Free Ride to Heaven? Gaylon West, 2011-05-23 Definitions of grace identify one's religious affiliation in Christendom and one's attitude toward Bible content. This book gives the theological development of the word and presents evidence that the word does not mean unmerited. Further, it is shown that to ignore this is to misinterpret Jesus' mission and reject the loving grace that He provides to us from His Father and our Judge. |

Hester, 2005-06-01 During the reigns of Saul and David as recorded in First and Second Samuel, the people of Israel experience fear, disappointment, heartache, and betrayal.

| unmerited love meaning: What Do You Seek? Buckley, 2016 Throughout the Gospels, Jesus teaches people and proclaims the kingdom of God. But that's not all. He also questions -- a lot. Jesus asks questions that challenge and unsettle. Questions that cut to the heart of human experience. Questions that -- like a plow plunging deeply into hard soil -- split life open. Distinguished theologian Michael Buckley in this book meditates on fourteen key personal questions that Jesus asks in the Gospel of John -- such questions as What do you seek? Do you know what I have done to you? How can you believe? Do you take offense at this? Do you love me? Readers will be challenged to new ways of thinking and living as they seek to follow Jesus. |
| unmerited love meaning: Understanding His Story Steven E. Sprague, 2023-12-22 Our Father tells us that if we want to know about the end-times with understanding, then ask Him. He will inundate every person who asks with this knowledge explaining His truths as recorded in His Word. All the events leading up to the end of this dispensation of time, this second world age in which humankind has inhabited the earth, have been presented by our Father in His written letter to us--the Bible. This book explains the who, what, where, when, and why of these events as written straight from the Bible in witness to the world events of today. When necessary, copies of the original manuscripts of the earliest Hebrew and Greek languages in which the Bible was first written are utilized, preserving God's truths apart from any of man's influencing academia, religions, denominations, doctrines, tenants, traditions, interpretations, philosophies, theologies, commentaries, or fables--just the Bible. The end of this age centers on two tribulations, Satan's originating first, followed by Christ's Second Advent, His return. To fully understand them and their purpose, one must be cognizant of the whole story fundamental to understanding the mysteries of God's master plan established from the beginning, from the very first earth and heaven age. Sadly, most people are unlearned, therefore oblivious to God's realities as we go about our daily lives today. Knowledge of these events is brought forth in biblical teachings. This book explains these teachings and will provide a comprehensive understanding of God's whole story. Besides the subjects as indexed, you will learn of many other things, such as the simplicity in purpose of God's plan of salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ; the documenting of this generation as the last; an understanding in witness to the four dynasties bringing about the establishment of globalism today--the one-world order--and how these and many other things work together in culminating the end to this earth age and more. It is His Story, and as His children, it is imperative that we understand our Father's final plea as we approach the end to this dispensation of time. This is Humanity's Eleventh Hour. |
| unmerited love meaning: The Message of Love Patrick Mitchel, 2019-09-19 Love - such a deceptively simple and popular little word. It is universally agreed that we need love to live and flourish as human beings; and yet, within our contemporary culture, there are numerous confusing, competing and evolving ideas about what 'love' is. There are few greater subjects in Christian theology than love, yet it is a surprisingly complex and challenging concept to understand, let alone live out faithfully. Patrick Mitchel's conviction is that Christians need to be thinking about, and practising, love in compelling and authentic ways. Our task is not only to articulate what love is, but also to show to the world what true Christian love looks like in practice. 'The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love' (Gal. 5:6 NIV). Mitchel's exposition explores love in the Old Testament, how the love of God is supremely revealed in the mission and death of Jesus Christ, love in the life and teaching of Jesus and the church's calling to be a community of love. He helps us to grasp afresh the breadth, depth, scope and radically counter-cultural nature of the Bible's teaching on love. With a fully integrated study guide, suitable for both individuals and groups, The Message of Love will help you to see how the Bible's unified teaching on this vital theme can impact your life today. |
| unmerited love meaning: Why Hidden? Divine Hiddenness, Love and Revelation Richard H. Corrigan, 2008-06-01 The purpose of this book is to outline the principal difficulties that the 'hiddenness' of God poses, and to offer solutions to the question of why God does not incontrovertibly and indubitably reveal His existence to everyone. This concise book introduces the reader to the current debate about the issue of divine hiddenness. The author critically assesses the views of many leading philosophers, and proceeds to offer his own solutions and insights. This is a book that will be of interest not only to the academic, but also to anyone who has ever wondered why God does not simply make his existence known to everyone. |

Schneider, 2004-01-20 The English translation of the three-volume Exegetisches Wrterbuch zum Neuen Testament, this monumental work by an ecumenical group of scholars is first of all a complete English dictionary of New Testament Greek. Going beyond that, however EDNT also serves as a guide to the usage of every New Testament word in its various contexts, and it makes a significant contribution to New Testament exegesis and theology. EDNT's thorough, lengthy discussions of more significant words and its grouping of words related by root and meaning (with alphabetical cross-references) distinguish it from simpler Greek-English lexicons. Advancing the discussion of the Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament, EDNT summarizes more recent treatments of numerous questions in New Testament study and takes into consideration newer viewpoints of linguistics. |

| unmerited love meaning: Reflections on Grace Thomas A. Langford, 2007-06-23 For about the last fifteen years of his life, Thomas A. Langford pondered how grace is central to Christian theology. This book records his reflections and provides numerous gems of mature Christian insight. From beginning to end, the book is christologically focused. Grace is not something that God gives us; rather, it is the way God gives us himself. Grace is a person--God present to human beings. Grace is not a gift but rather a giver. Grace is Jesus Christ. The central contribution of this work is its personalization of grace, its sharp focus on God present in Jesus Christ. Because its focus on grace gives the reader such a clear and thematically developed entry point, this work is a great introduction to theology and the life of the church, the kind that pastors and parishioners would certainly benefit from confronting. |
| unmerited love meaning: Slowness Milan Kundera, 2023-04-25 Irresistible. . . . Slowness is an ode to sensuous leisure, to the enjoyment of pleasure rather than just the search for it. — Mirabella Milan Kundera's lightest novel, a divertimento, an opera buffa, Slowness is also the first of this author's fictional works to have been written in French. Disconcerted and enchanted, the reader follows the narrator of Slowness through a midsummer's night in which two tales of seduction, separated by more than two hundred years, interweave and oscillate between the sublime and the comic. Underlying this libertine fantasy is a profound meditation on contemporary life: about the secret bond between slowness and memory, about the connection between our era's desire to forget and the way we have given ourselves over to the demon of speed. And about dancers possessed by the passion to be seen, for whom life is merely a perpetual show emptied of every intimacy and every joy. |
| unmerited love meaning: A Faith That Sings Paul W. Chilcote, 2016-11-15 This book examines the primary biblical themes in the lyrical theology of Charles Wesley, the master hymn writer and cofounder of the Methodist movement. Methodism was born in song, and it is highly doubtful whether without the hymns of Charles Wesley there could have been a Methodist revival. Charles's hymns have exerted a monumental influence on Methodist doctrine and Methodist people through the years. They are essentially mosaics of biblical texts; in singing these hymns, Methodists have sung the grand narrative of redemption and restoration in the biblical witness. A summary list of key biblical texts drawn from the 1780 Collection of Hymns for the Use of the People Called Methodists serves as a summa of Charles Wesley's theology and points to the doctrinal concerns that shaped his life most fully. Intended as an exploration of Wesleyan theology through the lens of sung doctrine, this study demonstrates the world-making and life-shaping effect of hymns, and the way in which they emanate from Charles Wesley's life of prayer and evoke a life of service. |

| unmerited love meaning: Mounce's Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words William D. Mounce, 2009-12-15 For years, Vine’s Expository Dictionary has been the standard word study tool for pastors and laypeople, selling millions of copies. But sixty-plus years of scholarship have shed extensive new light on the use of biblical Greek and Hebrew, creating the need for a new, more accurate, more thorough dictionary of Bible words. William Mounce, whose Greek grammar has been used by more than 100,000 college and seminary students, is the editor of this new dictionary, which will become the layperson’s gold standard for biblical word studies. Mounce’s is ideal for the reader with limited or no knowledge of Greek or Hebrew who wants greater insight into the meanings of biblical words to enhance Bible study. It is also the perfect reference for busy pastors needing to quickly get at the heart of a word’s meaning without wading through more technical studies. What makes Mounce’s superior to Vine’s? The most accurate, in-depth definitions based on the best of modern evangelical scholarship Both Greek and Hebrew words are found under each English entry (Vine’s separates them) Employs both Strong’s and G/K numbering systems (Vine’s only uses Strong’s) Mounce’s accuracy is endorsed by leading scholars |
