Drop the stones kindle play

When a woman caught in the act of adultery was thrown down at Jesus feet the bloodthirsty crowd filled their hands with rocks and demanded she be put to death That confrontation still reverberates in our lives today Surely we can relate with the shame of the woman and her exposed sin Unfortunately we can also relate with the hypocritical crowd reveling in the rejection of the other But can we fully relate with Christ the God who intervened to save her For those who ve become wary of tired and sometimes even offensive Christian dogmatism Carlos Rodr guez may be the spark that ignites the flames of faith in the true Jesus He tells it like it is with a desire to motivate those who feel ready to engage the world around them not through political or religious agendas but through grace and love Drop the Stones invites followers of Jesus to drop their religious rocks and with open hands engage in the rewarding lifestyle of a Jesus styled love Drop the Stones When Love Reaches the UnlovableDrop the Stones: When Love Reaches the UnlovablePowerful simple free and costly The gospel of love as demonstrated by Jesus calls us all to love to receive love to bear witness to love Carlos draws us into his journey out of judgment and perfectionism and into love and humility however messy and confusing it may be I was impacted You should read this book 224 Drop the stones is the book the church doesn t know it needs Carlos writes with passion and wit From page one he brilliantly illustrates for us how to lead with humility and vulnerability while still maintaining himself as an authority on the subject of grace While the last thing the Christian world needs is another Do this not that book it may seem counter intuitive to title a book with such a catchy do this phrase as Drop the Stones However this book is less about behavior modification and about identity More specifically our identity in Christ This book is broken into bite size easily digestible chapters taking us on an inward journey not only into the heart of the author but into the heart of Jesus as well This book is not afraid to touch on the reality of darkness in the world as well as the church and to call Christians to a higher standard which I found refreshing and honest Each story presents itself as an opportunity for the reader to reflect and hold a mirror up to his or her own heart and attitude While some Christian books lead the reader down a path back to themselves Drop the Stones leads the reader right to the feet of Jesus And it is there we find a savior not holding stones but carrying his cross Regardless of where you are in your faith Drop the Stones should be at the top of your reading list Carlos shows us how to effectively and graciously communicate the Gospel truth with both a generation that has twisted it to serve itself and a generation that is walking away from the church in record numbers If you re looking for the perfect gift for the new Christian in your life this is the book to buy Or if you are looking for the perfect way to reflect the love of Jesus to the old curmudgeon in your life all I can say is DropTheStones 224 Some of this made me mad not gonna lie 224 I love this timely book as it displays a deep look into the nature of love s response in a day of much opinion and judgmental reactions to life Its fresh and very anointed for such a time as this. Drop the rock kindle This was one of many moving statements in this powerful book Yet it was reckless mercy that arrested me irrational love that took over and in a great moment of weakness I agreed with God s version of the gospel Drop the Stones such a great book 224 happysonship has a new follower Me So ez to read so simply presented and so profoundly obvious that it merits 5 stars without a second s thought Gotta meet this author presenting timeless wisdom in modern hipster esque language that makes him probably one of the coolest cats anywhere Looking forward to keeping this as a reference to bolster my own courae during a pivotal time in my life Molto bravo 224

Christ came to save us from our sin but He also came to save us from the idea that we could be saviors or judges of ourselves or of anyone else. Drop the stonesward key Jesus didn t fingerpoint He engaged The easiest thing in the world is to point the finger accuse the religious and stay away from their systems says Rodriguez He goes on to note Jesus was not shaming the religious leaders he was saving them from themselves. Drop the stonesward And right in the middle of this discussion Rodriguez reminds the reader Nothing reaches people like being loved when they don t deserve it Nothing pushes people away like being judged when they don t. Drop the rock book free Wow What if Christians were known for washing our other s feet than our sin bashing What if kindness were the main tool we used to demonstrate God s Kingdom Ouch And finally how about this one Serving those who should be serving you is quite possibly the most authentic pronouncement of Christianity there is. EBook Drop the stones river Especially in our tumoltous times when the caustic acid of divisiness seems to be spreading like wildfire Rodriguez s DROP THE STONES offers a refreshing alternative to hate 224 This was a very well written book and simultaneously challenging at parts Having met people who do life with similar authors Shaine Claiborne and Tony Campolo the message of the book reminded me of their ministries but new too I think the chapters 31 talking about the words used in the Bible made me think the most. Drop the rock kindle My only criticism of the book is that it for those who are Martha s anyway it can be read as do but that s honestly the fault of the reader than the writer And the ending is beautiful I hope his adoption went through and I hope is daughter is blessed and his family blessed 224 I have followed Carlos on twitter and love his insight I had the opportunity to hear him speak and it was wonderful Both of these experiences led me to buy his book I really enjoyed the book I wish however he had expounded in chapters The book reads a bit like disjointed blogs leaving me wanting There is an over arching theme that resounds but I wish he would build on some chapters instead of hitting so many bases The book shows the three mindsets from John 8 the woman caught in adultery the religious leaders and scribes and Jesus Grab the book for an intro into handling complex issues with grace 224 This book was so good Written in short blog style chapters Carlos spoke clearly and honestly on a range of issues relating to the judgmental heart in every believer I needed to read what he had to say He was simple and reflective in his writing and I was encourage and challenged by it 224 It s like a humble smack in the face to all who call themselves a Christian Unlike any religious book I ve read and what a beautiful and intricate way of bringing us back to God s true radical love for everyone not just the ones we think that deserve it 224.
