About Knowing And Doing The Will Of God

Product Description Christians rightly believe that within the pages of the Bible God reveals His moral will to His people. Indeed, by studying Scripture believers can learn to follow God’s moral standards, which address a wide range of life issues. Yet, many Christians wrestle with the idea of knowing and doing what they believe to be a special individual will of God for their lives. As commonly understood, this individual will is related to subjects such as what school to attend, whom to marry, which church to join, what career path to pursue, what purchases to make, and a host of other similar issues. In this book author David W. Jones examines the important concept of the will of God and suggests that Scripture alone is sufficient for Christian life and practice.In the process of looking at God’s will in Scripture this book helps readers to understand the meaning of major biblical passages that speak about God’s will. Topics that are explored and explained in this clear volume include: the difference between true and false prophets, the practice of casting lots, the biblical use of the Urim and Thummim, the place of dreams and visions in the Christian life, the idea of angelic visitation, as well as the use of supernatural signs to know the will of God. Additionally, this text includes discussions about the place of prayer in decision making, the role of the Holy Spirit in revelation, and suggestions for how so-called weaker and stronger brethren can interact regarding issues of Christian liberty. Review David W. Jones is a careful thinker and a clear writer. This book represents a solid antidote to popular misunderstandings about knowing and doing God's will. In this volume Jones sets out to graciously correct common errors related to moral decision making and to offer a more biblical perspective.  Knowing and Doing the Will of God  achieves these ends, as it is pastoral, accessible, concise, clear, biblically informed, and well argued. This book will be a blessing to the church for years to come.   --Andrew J. Spencer , Ph.D., Associate Vice-President, Oklahoma Baptist University
