Analysis Of No Compromise By Dr. Max E. High

420 Words2 Pages

No Compromise, by Dr. Max E. High, is about how Christians can live by faith and with integrity against all odds. With Bible stories, the author shows the qualities that are necessary for living a victorious life. Gradually, he describes how a person, who believes in the teachings of Jesus Christ, can live in a manner that is consistent with Godly values in an age of compromise. Using the extraordinary life experiences of Daniel, the Jewish hero of the Book of Daniel, Dr. Max encourages Christians to do the right thing at all times irrespective of the pressure compelling them to do otherwise.

In an exhortative way, the author begins the narrative with the explanation of compromise and then unveils the strategies for motivating and facilitating compromise. Every chapter of this book has some discussion questions based on a particular subject, and after the questions, the author enumerates some related Scriptures. This Bible class manual examines topics such as courage, crisis, power of praise, time, faith, humility, and refuge. According to the author, true faithfulness to God is not seen only in one's determination to stand firm but in the way you do it. …show more content…

In addition, Dr. Max narrates about the first dream King Nebuchadnezzar had and how Daniel interpreted it. He highlights some new revelations and how the dream relates to the kingdom of God. Since this narration is full of Godly principles, some non-Christians may not like it. What I enjoyed most in this book are the real-world stories used as illustrations. They are short, interesting, and filled with helpful

In his book Every Good Endeavor, Timothy Keller seeks to reimagine and rekindle the idea of “connecting your work to God’s work” by examining God’s original design for work, identifying the main effects of sin on work, and then offering a glimpse into how Christians may work in light of the Gospel. Furthermore, throughout his three sections, Keller presents Christians not only with a reminder of work’s original dignity and importance but also with a reminder of how the Gospel should affect every aspect of our lives and our being, as we were saved by grace, through faith, but were also “created in Christ Jesus for good works, which he has set ahead of time for us to do (Ephesians 2:8-10).” Overall, Keller’s Every Good Endeavor encourages Christians

Christians often view salvation as a heavenly resting place; in reality, however, salvation is a lifelong journey that can bridge the gap between Heaven and Earth. This spiritual bridge can be crossed through faith coupled with good works. “Bridge”, a short story by Daniel O’Malley, features a young boy who struggles to comprehend salvation as well as find his own. This motif of salvation is achieved through the use of biblical allusions which also help support the fact that the bridge is a physical representation for the motif of the path to salvation which the narrator fails to cross. O’Malley starts his story with two biblical allusions, “...but also about the flood and locusts and frogs and other plagues that had happened before and could happen again…(192).

Study questions are also provided at the end of each chapter, which allow the reader the opportunity to think deeper about the subject and encourage further study in the Word of God. The questions could also be used as a guide for discussion during a Bible study. The Endnotes included at the end of the book give some additional background information that I found to be helpful as well. In reading this book, I definitely learned some new things. For example, Combs writing indicates that in the Bible Adam’s wife is not referred to as “Eve” until the end of Genesis Chapter 3 (after they ate the forbidden fruit), and the word “sin” is not used until Genesis Chapter 4 in

McMinn (2007) quote about the nature of sin of the following: “Biblically, the sin problem involves more than simply our bad actions, whether personal or social in their implications and complication. In Scripture and theology, sin is a condition that goes to the root of our being, for it must do with our relationship to our origin and to God,” (p. 162), will help the couple to see the truth about the effects of sin within each other and their marriage.

As these Cretan church leaders had to face the false teachings and opposing teachers in their context, they had to have firm ground of their doctrinal teaching. Paul understands that when a body of believers embraces sound doctrine, the result is changed and purified lives that produce good deeds. The expectation is centered on the work of Christ with direct emphasis on enablement of God's grace and the Holy Spirit and is not about human's work. God’s grace is the motivation for all good deeds. Christ gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed and saving us by the "washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit” (3:5).

One of the themes in the novel, The Old Man and the Sea, is that one should persevere even in the most challenging situations. The old man’s, Santiago’s, lone struggle with the fishes and the forces of nature over a period of almost three months demonstrated an almost mythical persistence. The purpose of this essay is to evaluate whether this theme has any value compared to God’s word. The Bible often discusses the theme of perseverance in the midst of adversity. Even though one views Santiago’s endurance and tenacity with admiration, the root causes of that perseverance is different from the reasons for a Christian’s perseverance in the world.

Throughout life, people are often faced with many decisions. Some of these decisions are easy to make, while others are excruciating, as they can be life altering. From a Christian’s perspective, however, people never have to make these decisions alone. God promises that he will never abandon his people, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you” (New International Version, Deuteronomy 31:6).
