No Worries? We lob the phrase at others, but lie awake at night ourselves. Each day, we struggle to pull our thoughts away from our worries, fears, frustrations, and desires. When we get stuck, it's not exactly easy to fixate on whatever is true, noble, right and pure. We are profoundly aware that our worries have negative consequences for our bodies, minds, and relationships. But like most real people with real problems, our thoughts keep swirling around the same old issues. No worries, huh? Mindscape builds a practical action plan for changing your mental landscape and your life based on Paul s rich exhortation in Philippians 4:8. Author Tim Witmer draws from thirty years of experience in helping worried people apply Scripture to their lives to present a clear, biblical, and deeply pastoral guide to replacing worry with a new way of thinking. Mindscape is not a self-help book or an academic tome on behavioral theory. It is a real-world guide to the transformation that Jesus works in us as we go to him in faith and ask for his power to change, to listen, and to think differently. Chapter-by-chapter application questions make Mindscape perfect for personal reflection or small group use. Builds a biblical, practical action plan for filling your mind with new thoughts based on Paul s rich exhortation in Philippians 4:8 Simple, clear, and pastoral guidance: Mindscape is the overflow of a pastor s thirty years of helping worried people apply Scripture to their lives Chapter-by-chapter application questions are perfect for personal reflection or small group use.

That miracles exist is an important part of the Christian tradition, yet a brief survey of modern thought reveals a marked prejudice against this notion. Here, Geisler shows how the laws of logic and science speak to the reasonableness of miracles. A dispassionate look at the facts and arguments demands that doubters question their own naturalistic assumptions. Geisler also describes signs, wonders, and power, contrasting what the Bible means by a miracle with bizarre stories of saints, faith healers, and occultists. A continuation of his work begun in 'Miracles and Modern Thought', 'Miracles and the Modern Mind' includes extensive revisions and additions.

Peranan gereja lokal dalam melaksanakan misi Allah didunia ini merupakan suatu tugas yang sangat besar dan penting. Misi adalah suatu rancangan dan karya Allah bagi keselamatan manusia yang melibatkan gereja-Nya. Misi merupakan suatu kegiatan gereja yang sebenarnya tidak lain dari kegiatan besar Yesus Kristus sendiri yang dilakukan-Nya melalui gereja. Relasi gereja dengan misi adalah dua hal yang tidak bisa dipisahkan. Gereja ada untuk melaksanakan misi Allah. Allah adalah Allah yang misioner, Allah yang mengutus. Alkitab dengan jelas menunjukkan bahwa gereja adalah alat yang diutus oleh Allah untuk melaksanakan misi-Nya di tengah-tengah dunia ini (Yoh.20:21, Matius 28:19-20). Karena itu tugas misi adalah tugas gereja sepenuhnya, bukanlah tugas dari lembaga misi (walaupun harus diakui bahwa sejak dari abad pencerahan justru kenyataannya lembaga misi ini lebih aktif dan lebih berhasil melaksanakan misi dalam dunia ini). Lembaga-lembaga misi hanyalah bagian dari kehidupan gereja, bukan gereja lokal itu sendiri, seperti yang dimaksudkan sebagai komunitas umat Allah yang berkumpul dan bersekutu di dalam Kristus. Hasil dari Gereja yang melaksanakan misi Allah adalah Gereja dapat bertumbuh dan berbuah, baik secara kualitas maupun secara kuantitas.

The increasingly multicultural fabric of modern societies has given rise to many new issues and conflicts, as ethnic and national minorities demand recognition and support for their cultural identity. This book presents a new conception of the rights and status of minority cultures.

It argues that certain sorts of collective rights for minority cultures are consistent with liberal-democratic principles, and that standard liberal objections to recognizing such rights on grounds of individual freedom, social justice, and national unity can be answered.

However, Professor Kymlicka emphasizes that no single formula can be applied to all groups, and that the needs and aspirations of immigrants are very different from those of indigenous peoples and national minorities. The book discusses issues such as language rights, group representation, land claims, federalism, and secession - issues which are central to understanding multicultural politics, but which have been surprisingly neglected in contemporary liberal theory.
