Would you like to tell us about a lower price? If you are a seller for this product, would you like to suggest updates through seller support? You've probably heard someone say, ""I go to a Bible believing church. Some fundamentalist and evangelical pastors actually say just that from their pulpits. It's branding genius! It's also dismissive of most of Christianity. In this book I hope to reclaim words like ""moderate"" and ""progressive"" as a style of spirituality that actually reflects Jesus' teaching. My goal is to present a scriptural basis for the beliefs of the other half of American Protestantism.

I hope that those who read this book see that our differences from fundamentalist and evangelical congregations are grounded on an abiding trust in God's goodness, especially as we see it in Jesus. It's my desire to establish how discipleship in our communities is driven by the belief that the sacrificial love we see expressed by Jesus for us, should also be expressed by us in our everyday lives. Jesus calls us to follow his way of life, which is reflected in the Beatitudes. That kind of Christianity looks a lot different from what is being taught in most big-box churches across the country.

One by one Dr. Cheek lays out the major tenets of fundamentalist theology and offers an alternative--the teachings and actions of a God of love.

Whether you have just begun to ask questions about conservative Christian beliefs, or have been asking them for decades, this book will help you explore them and, hopefully, grow deeper in relationship with Jesus and answer his invitation to 'follow me. It reveals the power of Christian faith when it is set free from political and ideological slavery. Cheek presents both Scripture and science as the bedrock of a living faith.

Onward, Christian Soldiers

It is designed for those whose faith is continuing to grow and mature beyond the death traps of fundamentalism and anti-intellectualism. In a time of hatred and divisiveness Cheek boldly affirms the dignity of all people as created in the image of a loving God. Take and read! Standing at an upright desk and working far into the night, he wrote at least books, including 35 novels which were popular in their day, and 1, or more other publications on subjects as diverse as saints, antiquities and folk songs. He also had 16 children, 15 of whom lived to adulthood. He was born in into the landed gentry.

At the age of 30, in , he took holy orders, and became curate at Horbury Bridge, near Wakefield. One of the big events was the Whit Monday procession when the parish children marched to the next village, headed by a cross and banners. The year after taking up his post, Baring-Gould decided to write a hymn for the occasion, and came up with Onward, Christian Soldiers.

Church drops Onward, Christian Soldiers from service

In Horbury Bridge he met Grace Taylor, an uneducated mill girl, who was then aged 14 to his 30, and fell in love with her. His vicar, John Sharp, presumably sensing that this was a situation of some delicacy, arranged for Grace to live with relatives in York for a few years to learn middle-class manners, as well as to read and write. Sabine and Grace were married in when she was Nor could he stand the stink of the rotting fish that was used to fertilise the cabbage fields. They wanted him sent off to some part of the country where he could no longer mix with refined, educated men of culture and equal standing.

However Baring-Gould outflanked the church hierarchy thanks to inheriting the 3,acre family estate near Okehampton, Devon, which included the gift of the living of Lewtrenchard parish. When the living became vacant in , he was able to appoint himself to it, becoming parson as well as squire — so he called himself the Squarson. He completely remodelled the manor house, which is now a splendid-looking hotel.

I found many of the details of his life on their website. He seems to have been a strange father. Refrain Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus going on before. Like a mighty army moves the church of God; Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod; We are not divided, all one body we, One in hope and doctrine, one in charity. Onward then, ye people, join our happy throng, Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song; Glory, laud, and honor unto Christ the King; This through countless ages men and angels sing.
