Every social order rests on a creed, on a concept of life and law, and represents a religion in action. Wherever there is an attack on the organization of society, there is an attack on its religion. The basic faith of a society means growth in terms of that faith, but any tampering with its basic structure is revolutionary activity. The life of a society is its creed; a dying creed faces desertion or subversion readily. Every creed, however healthy, is also under continual attack; the culture which neglects to defend and further its creedal base is exposing its heart to the enemy's knife. ...

At the heart of Tolkienian fantasy is "recovery," a "cleaning of the windows" of our perception that we may learn to see the world again in all its strange beauty. And, for Tolkien, to recover the world anew is to recover a sense of the world as a meaningful act of creation by a living and loving Creator. How does Tolkien accomplish this? Through "sub-creation" or mythopoeia, the "fashioning of myth." For it is in creating an imaginary world ourselves through poetry, fairy-story, and myth that we come to "see" our "primary world" as itself an act of creation. 

Life's inconveniences, disappointments, and trials can leave us confused, cynical, and eventually bitter. But the apostle Paul traces out the path of dying and rising with Jesus — what Paul Miller calls the “J-Curve” — as the normal Christian life.

This is the 1956 version of New Testament Christianity by author JB Phillips. In this book Phillips examines the life of the Young Church (book of Acts) and the New Testament writers. He challenges the listeners to adopt the blazing certainty of the unconquerable fellowship displayed in the early Church. If the individual followers of today's modern Church would emulate their radical faith, hope, love, and peace our world would truly be fragrant with the "aroma of Christ".

If you want to discover your true identity as a child of God and how to start living out your true purpose, then keep reading! These days, we’re continually being bombarded by negative messages.

In the late 1820s, John Nelson Darby abandoned his career as a priest in the Church of Ireland to become one of the principal leaders of a small but rapidly growing religious movement that became known as the “Plymouth Brethren.” Darby and other brethren modified the Calvinism that was common among their evangelical contemporaries, developing distinctive positions on key doctrines relating to salvation, the church, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the end times.

You know grace saved you. But do you actually believe it? Most of us live somewhere between two ditches. On one side, grace has been softened into a permission slip — a cosmic shrug that says God doesn't really care what you do. On the other side, grace has been hardened into a reward — something you earn by reading enough, praying enough, and performing well enough to keep God from being disappointed in you. Both versions are lies. And both will leave you exhausted or empty.

You've been told to "just have faith." But has anyone told you what faith actually is? Most of us carry a version of faith that was handed to us secondhand—believe hard enough and God will come through, never doubt or you're failing, close your eyes and jump. It sounds spiritual. But it's not biblical. And it falls apart the moment life gets heavy. Real Faith strips away the greeting-card theology and replaces it with what Scripture actually teaches: faith is not a feeling, not a quantity, and not blind.
