Liderazgo Espiritual El cambio acelerado, tanto en la iglesia como en la sociedad en gene• ral, ha impulsado a la revisión del idioma de una obra clásica como Liderazgo espiritual. Las ideas de Oswald Sanders son de un valor demasiado grande como para permitir el riesgo de que pierdan algo de su poder en el idioma constantemente en desarrollo del siglo actual. D. James Kennedy, Ph. D. Escritor y Pastor Iglesia Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church El libro Liderazgo espiritual de J. Oswald Sanders .llegó a mis manos poco después que se publicó y fue de gran ayuda para mí cuando era un joven pastor. Lo recomiendo muchísimo, no sólo a pastores y obreros cristianos, sino a todos los cristianos que quieren saber algo del liderazgo de Dios en sus propias vidas. Totalmente actualizado Warren W. Wiersbe Incluyeguía de estudio Escritor, conferencista ideal para pequeños grupos Este libro demuestra que en el corazón del liderazgo cristiano hay una actitud piadosa.

Teniendo en cuenta que originalmente era una serie de disertaciones que se dieron ante la Overseas Missionary Fellowship, el libro ha sido valorado por miles de lectores por sus agudas reflexiones y piadosa sabiduría. Por lo tanto, ¿por qué fue necesario que se lo revisara línea por línea? Nuestra preocupación era que el idioma de la edición original hacía cada vez más difícil apre• ciar el poder de las ideas de Sanders. Los cristianos contempo• ráneos, que de otra manera podrían beneficiarse muchísimo del libro, se confundirían por las referencias a personajes des• conocidos, expresiones anticuadas y puntos de vista que per• tenecen a una época anterior. Por consiguiente, nuestro propósito fue corregir Liderazgo espiritual para que el cristiano de hoy pueda leerlo sin dificul• tad. No podríamos mejorar las reflexiones de Sanders, pero hemos procurado remozar su escritura examinando cada frase para asegurar que sea clara y pertinente al lector contemporá• neo. A pesar de que hemos cambiado extensamente la redac• ción, hemos permanecido fieles al significado e intención originales de cada pasaje. Algunos de los cambios específicos se describen en los párrafos siguientes. En primer lugar, el liderazgo femenino, aunque se lo ha mencionado, siempre ha formado una parte importante de las misiones evangélicas.

Quizás cuando se refería a «hom• bre», «hombres», «él» o «SU», Sanders quería decir todas las personas sin tener en cuenta el género. Era algo común, en sus días, usar los pronombres masculinos como referencia genéri• ca a todas las personas. Pero quizá no fue así. De cualquier PREFACIO DE LA PRIMERA EDICIÓN manera, al reconocer tanto el papel de los hombres como de las mujeres en la Iglesia de Cristo, hemos ampliado el texto de esta segunda edición para que incluya a ambos, excepto en esas partes específicas donde es evidente que Sanders se está refiriendo a un solo grupo . _En segundo lugar, hemos añadido notas al texto, que iden• ste libro surgió de una serie de mensajes que se dieron tifican a las personas a quienes Sanders cita, personas de las ante los líderes de la Overseas Míssíonary Fellowship en que la mayoría de nosotros ya nos hemos olvidado.

No hay duda de que los cristianos deben resistir cierta clase de ambición y quitarla de sus vidas. Pero también debemos reconocer que hay otras ambiciones que son nobles, dignas y honorables. Los tres versículos al comienzo de este capítulo proveen una advertencia •y un incentivo•para discernir la diferencia.

    ―STRENGTHENING THE FAITH OF THE CHILDREN OF GOD‖: PIETISM, PRINT, AND PRAYER IN THE MAKING OF A WORLD EVANGELICAL HERO, GEORGE MÜLLER OF BRISTOL (1805-1898) by DARIN DUANE LENZ B.A., California State University, Bakersfield, 1997 M.A., Assemblies of God Theological Seminary, 2000 M.A., Villanova University, 2003 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2010 Abstract George Müller of Bristol (1805-1898) was widely celebrated in the nineteenth century as the founder of the Ashley Down Orphan Homes in Bristol, England. He was a German immigrant to Great Britain who was at the vanguard of evangelical philanthropic care of children. The object of his charitable work, orphans, influenced the establishment of Christian orphanages in Great Britain, North America, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Europe. However, what brought Müller widespread public acclaim was his assertion that he supported his orphan homes solely by relying on faith and prayer. According to Müller, he prayed to God for the material needs of the orphans and he believed, in faith, that those needs were supplied by God, without resort to direct solicitation, through donations given to him. He employed his method as a means to strengthen the faith of his fellow Christians and published an ongoing chronicle of his answered prayers that served as evidence. Müller‘s method of financial support brought him to the forefront of public debate in the nineteenth century about the efficacy of prayer and the supernatural claims of Christianity.

  • C. H. Spurgeon's Letters
    The Letters of C. H. Spurgeon Collected and Collated by His Son Charles Spurgeon [Spurgeon] Mr. Spurgeon's calligraphy was characteristic of himself. In early days it was like copper-plate, and to the end of his life, unless deformed by pain, was always singularly chaste and clear, and to the very last note he penned, it maintained its uniform neatness. His favorite ink was violet, though he judged "there is no better ink than that to be bought in penny bottles," and his was usually the "pen of a ready writer," and he did not take kindly to stylus and the like, for he says: "I am writing with a patent pen which carries its own ink, but I don't think much of it for it seems to be very indistinct, and more like a pencil than a pen." The variety of the paper that he used well illustrated his versatility, as he filled the sheets with "thoughts that glow, and words that burn." Of the innumerable letters which Mr. Spurgeon wrote, he preserved comparatively a few, and those who are the fortunate possessors of his communications are chary of parting with them, and in a very large number of instances the epistles are of such a private nature that it would be a breach of confidence, as well as of courtesy, to make them public. It will be observed that but few of his letters are fully dated, this being an exceptional idiosyncrasy. His correspondence was voluminous, necessitating a great amount of time and labor on his part in replying to it.

  • Meet Mr. Philadelphia Or, the Life of at Pierson Text by Tom Stewart
    Meet Mr. Philadelphia: Or, The Life of A. T. Pierson Text by Tom Stewart What Saith the Scripture? http://www.WhatSaithTheScripture.com/ presents Meet Mr. Philadelphia Or, The Life of A. T. Pierson (1837-1911) "I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an Open Door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept My Word, and hast not denied My Name" (Revelation 3:8). by Tom Stewart What does A. T. Pierson-- pastor, Bible teacher, Christian author, Bible conference speaker, defender of the Faith, leader of the modern missions movement-- have to do with Philadelphia, other than the fact that he pastored a church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania? This writer believes that Arthur T. Pierson best exemplifies the integrity of the Philadelphian Church Era, though Philadelphia had but a "little strength" (Revelation 3:8). In answer to the question, "What do you mean by the Philadelphian Church Era?", the following attempts an answer. Many who have read the Apocalypse, in particular the second and third chapters, have seen the past, present, and future of the Church panoramically outlined in Christ's letters to the Seven Churches. "What thou seest, write in a Book, and send it unto the Seven Churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea... Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter" (Revelation 1:11-19). Briefly, the history of the Church may be correlated to Revelation 2-3 as follows: 1- Ephesus (2:1-7): the Loveless Church of the late Apostolic Age (to 100 AD), i.e., "Thou hast left thy First Love" (2:4).

He was a preacher by nature as well as by training. One would just as soon have expected the lark to cease from singing its joyous song amid the spacious heights as to think that Dr. Pierson could live without preaching. Like the ancient prophets who came straight from communion with God to declare the words He had given them to utter, he stood up with all the majesty of the Divine messenger, and, without faltering or apology, made known the whole truth as it is contained in the revealed Word of God. As we knew him in later years, there was something stern and severe in the appearance and manner of the tall, lithe figure, but behind the seemingly forbidding exterior there beat a heart of pity and love for those who were estranged from God and whom he was ever seeking to win back to the Father's fold. If he was severe in his denunciation of sin, his heart bled for the sinner.

  • Arthur Tappan Pierson, His Life and His Message
    www.WholesomeWords.org edition 2017 Arthur Tappan Pierson: His Life and His Message... The name and writings of Arthur T. Pierson are known all over the world, but the man himself was only appreciated by a few. No one knows a man but his Maker, and yet many may gain glimpses of the real man from various angles. It is thus a composite portrait that most clearly and faithfully presents the character and work of the man as he really is and not merely as the individual sees him. To some Dr. Arthur T. Pierson was only a flaming advocate of missions—the "Nestor of Foreign Missions," as one calls him. To another he was the enthusiastic Bible student and the zealous champion of Biblical inspiration. One saw him chiefly as an eloquent preacher, another as a gifted writer; some knew him as a musician and a lover of music; others, as a poet or an artist of no small ability. A few knew him as above all a friend in the day of trouble or a wise adviser in time of perplexity, and some who saw him in the social circle and the home remember Doctor Pierson as the devoted husband and father, the man of home love and friendly fellowship. None who came into any close contact with him ever doubted his honesty, ability, or fidelity to the truth at whatever the cost to himself. Those who knew him best recognized in him two great passions that overshadowed all else—even love of home and family—first, an intense love and loyalty to the Word of God, and a desire to know, teach and follow God's revealed will; second, an overwhelming desire to see the Kingdom of God extended throughout the world, and a passion to use voice and pen and money to help carry out the great commission of Christ.
