Showing results for "Duty" in Religion & Spirituality

Duty Calls: An Airman’s Journey Through the Narrow Gate is the raw, honest, and deeply personal testimony of a man who went from feeling invincible to fully surrendered in the hands of Jesus Christ. David Shaw shares the story of his life as an Airman, a husband, a son, and a man shaped by trauma, addiction, pride, and the hidden wounds that followed him into adulthood. Through childhood pain, military pressures, spiritual battles, and the storms that nearly destroyed him, David reveals how Christ pursued him, rescued him, and rebuilt him from the inside out.

It has been a long time since there have been as many ideas and events in our world causing fear and anxiety as there are today. But one thing, in any event, is clear, and that is the duty of Christians to search more diligently than ever the prophetic Scriptures. Let us compare prophecies fulfilled with prophecies unfulfilled and attempt to make the one illustrate the other. Let us strive, above all, to obtain clear views of the things we should be expecting, both in the church and the world, before the end comes and time will be no more.

Is praying a duty or a delight? J. I. Packer and Carolyn Nystrom say that it's both; an essential, expected practice as a follower of Christ, but also a privilege and joy. As we start out learning to pray properly, however, the delight often seems to be missing. Here is practical help for active, honest praying that involves all of who we are - heart, hands and head - and moves us to deeper obedience, joy and intimacy with our Father.

This is a primer on raising children and the duties all Christian parents have toward those whom God has entrusted to them.

In this recording, one person reads the entire play, all parts, including the stage directions. Even without the support of Arthur Sullivan’s music and the interpretation of actors, the consummate silliness of Gilbert’s libretto entertains. The Pirates of Penzance; or, The Slave of Duty is a comic opera in two acts, with music by Arthur Sullivan and libretto by W. S. Gilbert. The story concerns Frederic, who, having completed his 21st year, is released from his apprenticeship to a band of tender-hearted pirates. He meets Mabel, the daughter of Major-General Stanley, and the two young ...

The following is a translation of the fourth gate of one of the earliest of the classic mussar works, Chovos Halevavos by Rabeinu Bachya. The book has inspired many great men to walk in its ways and review it throughout their lives. The fourth gate deals with what Rabeinu Bachya regards as "the most necessary of all things for the service of God." Namely, trust in God. This English translation is used with permission of Rabbi Yosef Sebag, the copyright holder.

Clear, concise, and penetrating, Practical Religion contains a series of writings about the daily duties, dangers, experiences, and privileges of all who profess and call themselves true Christians. Ryle explains that a "practical religion" is not a religion of works, but rather one in which those who are saved can put their faith into practice.

For the majority of Southern Catholics, religion and politics were not a point of tension. Devout Catholics were also devoted Confederates, including nuns who served as nurses; their deep involvement in the Confederate cause as medics confirms the all-encompassing nature of Catholic involvement in the Confederacy, a fact greatly underplayed by scholars of Civil war religion and American Catholicism.

Written around A.D. 391, St. Ambroses treatise, which could easily be titled Concerning Christian Virtues, presents a rich tapestry of Christian ideals. Deeply valuing the sacred nature of the ministerial role, St. Ambrose passionately urges the clergy of his diocese to embody their high calling and serve as exemplary figures for their congregations. The text is marked by eloquent language, a noble style, and an abundance of vivid imagery and rhetoric, delivering philosophical and moral insights that are both profound and inspiring.

Churchill was far from transparent about his religious beliefs and never regularly attended church services as an adult, even considering himself “not a pillar of the church but a buttress”, in the sense that he supported it “from the outside”. But Gary Scott Smith assembles pieces of Churchill’s life and words to convey the profound sense of duty and destiny, partly inspired by his religious convictions, that undergirded his outlook.

The world needs great husbands, better fathers, and stronger men. It is how we reduce crime, adultery, idolatry, poverty, heartbreak and even kids dropping out of school. And as more Christian men step into their vocation as husbands and fathers, we will create a better world for our children to grow up in. Love and service will spread across the earth. It’s this strength from men like you that will bring more people to Christ and obtain eternity. What a victory! But we are in a battle, gentlemen. The dark forces are working behind the scenes right now to RIP, GNAW, and TEAR everything apart...

Every Christian needs to consider the possible cost of our action or inaction. Are you ready for the days ahead?

Expectation Corner is a beautiful allegory written to demonstrate what it can look like to live in God’s kingdom and to take full advantage of His promises. Adam, the protagonist and a resident of Redeemed Land, lives a life of complete independence and isolation, as he copes with the issues in his life without ever asking for the landlord’s help. His pitiful and destitute home continues to worsen the quality of his life, and it is entirely by active choice.

Our goal is to encourage young people to fear God and keep His commandments, and pursue excellence in whatever they do. Ecclesiastes 12:1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them. Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. Proverbs 22: 29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men. May God bless you abundantly.
