Bøker av Timothy R Senter

Where do the narcissist divisions in society begin? As the world continues to evolve and more people identify on personal demographics, is our society improved? Are we failing Christ by submitting to or ignoring stigmatism and stereotypical social ideologies? Jesus always engaged the world around Him, shouldn't we? There are a myriad of social identities people have coopted. Every demographic can be the sole issue with which one chooses to brand themselves, or to brand others. We no longer identify nationally as American's, Spaniards, French or Canadian. Is this what Christ wants from us? What drives this world-wide identity crisis? Why have people become so simplistic and shallow in thought and identity? Why are people being driven to a life in a demographic box? Every person is simply that, an individual person with unique beliefs and personal thoughts. People think that God made us the wrong color, the wrong sex, a member of the wrong family. We step outside of godliness when we demand others submit to our relativism. Pastor Senter deals with a wide variety of spiritual, social, and cultural issues while opening the scriptures and exploring their truths. Pastor Senter has written many periodicals for the Lander Journal in his home town. He was first published in 2010. Being a 20 year Navy veteran, he writes periodicals for local veterans organizations. In his Navy years, he traveled the globe witnessing the wide variety of human social relationships. He earned his Bachelor's of Science Degree in Information Systems Management from University of Maryland in 1997. After retirement, attended Bob Jones University earning his Master of Divinity degree. He is now the pastor of Grace Bible Church in Lander, Wyoming. He is also the author of Knowing you are saved which is a compilation of his expositions through 1 John.

For the Christian there are always questions to be asked and, although you understand faith is a big part of the answer we want to know, both in our mind and our soul. Tim Senter has answered the one overarching question for the Christian, how can I know I'm saved? Pastor Senter extracts these truths from the loving apostle's first letter. John's churches in the first century were under satanic attack. Satan was using the darts of man's intellect and Roman philosophy. Silver tongued speakers with silk words and soothing voices claimed knowledge was the key to salvation. They sound convincing, like they know what they're talking about. John takes this empty faithless belief apart. He makes it personal. John says, "...we have heard...we have seen with our eyes, we have looked upon, and our hands have handled." Christian, that is where your assurance begins, not in pure thought, but a growing personal relationship that begins in your soul and drives a mind to purity of thought and action.Pastor Senter interlaces rich illustrations from his life throughout the book. These illustrations clearly depict how we sometimes operate in our Chirstian life. Darkness and light, hate and love, ginosko (taught knowledge) and oida (heartfelt knowledge) are all glaring opposites to John. He uses these to depict the vast differences between God and the world under the curse. Explore and discover John's message of confidence, joy, fellowship and love in your salvation. Be assured you oida (know) your going to Heaven before you ginosko (know) your savior in the scriptures.
