A. J. Gordon

"How Christ Came to Church" is an anthology of many of Adoniram Judson Gordon's (1836-1895) works. This new edition is edited by Ralph I. Tilley.A. J. Gordon is mostly known in contemporary Evangelical circles by two Christian institutions bearing his name: Gordon College and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Both schools are located in Massachusetts. However, long before these schools were launched, Dr. Gordon became widely known as the pastor of Clarendon Street Baptist Church, Boston. It was in the early years of his ministry at the church, when Gordon experienced both a remarkable dream and special anointing of the Holy Spirit. These events precipitated a change in his life and ministry, that would eventually impact thousands around the world.Through the Holy Spirit's personal dealings with him, Gordon became convinced that most ministers and Christians were living beneath their gospel privileges. In reviewing his own walk with Christ and ministerial labors, he came to realize that so much of what he had been engaged in as a minister was done through human effort instead of in the strength and wisdom of the Spirit. He longed for a greater sense of reality in his walk with Christ; he craved a holy heart and a crucified ego; he wanted to be a truly fruitful branch on the Vine.Gordon learned, that when Christ is truly welcomed into the lives of individual Christians and churches, his unhindered presence makes all the difference.

The Malleus crew-their leader Alexis, former gladiator Sabrya, engineer extraordinaire Bradyn, and the upgraded droid Torg-aren't fitting into Sylvanus Colony. Facing prowling Imperials, a looming bounty by the powerful Bukshoga Qlan, and various other nefarious entities out for their blood, this side of the galaxy has become too hot for them. With a cargo ship without cargo, the crew plots a course to the farthest known reaches of the galaxy to become traders among the emerging colony worlds of the Orion Quadrant-a region under constant harassment from marauders. They soon realize they can offer the one thing the colonists need-protection. But when they upset the status quo and anger powerful entities who are already entrenched in the region, who is going to protect them?

For 3400 years, we conquered the Milky Way, ushering in an age of peace and prosperity. All of humanity, united beneath the banner of the Martianist Imperium. Until civil war struck at the empire's heart... 1700 years after the war, the Imperium is a shadow of its former self. Along the galaxy's Outer Reaches, frontier factions and vicious gangs nip at the empire's heels and jostle for dominance. In the year 5122, Alexis Nales wakes from stasis to find her crew long dead and herself the property of slavers. To survive in the lawless outer region, Alexis must transform a ragtag group of escaped slaves into a tight-knit crew who'll fight for freedom and a better future. Elsewhere, an ancient warrior-captured at the civil war's conclusion-awakens from his own stasis. Expected to lead a team of fellow captives, Jabari Mbaye soon discovers the assignment is off-the-books... and the imperial officer commanding it has gone rogue. When both of their paths converge, Alexis and Jabari must face two questions. Can the other be trusted? And do they have what it takes to win? Losing this battle could result in the deaths of both their teams... and ultimately in the destruction of all human civilisation.

"Have any healing miracles taken place since the Biblical era?" is the central question of this thesis by theologian and preacher A. J. Gordon.The author expresses curiosity about whether the miracles of the Middle Ages and later can be relied and verified as a continuation of Christ's spirit in the Christian church. Through deep study and inquiry of the established history, he concludes that the power to heal followers remains with the church - there was no special era of miracle working; God and His powers remain the same in the modern era, as they have right through human history.Although other scholars assert that miracles are something solely of Christ, the disagreement of A. J. Gordon and others represents a split in theological scholarship. For the author, God's intervention in the suffering and sickness of His followers his frequent; the will of the Lord however is variable - He will not prolong the pain of someone whose illness is too great.

How Christ Came to Church is an autobiography by preacher, author and educator Adoniram Judson Gordon.The author seeks to frame his life in his very identity as a man of God, with decades of experience establishing and working for the Christian church. We receive a superb discussion on both the events that defined Gordon's career; the attitude to the church as an institution; the vitality of preaching; and Christ as a crucial thread through all.The religious and theological second part is, owing to its general departure from ordinary biographical narrative, framed as the author's 'dream'. It is here that the author details his ideas of church roles and Jesus in greatest detail. The qualities the physical structure of a church must have, as a temple and place of God, are amply detailed.The third and final part is concerned with the character of A. J. Gordon himself; how he efforted to conform his life and deeds with those of Christ.
