The Crucifixion of Ministry: Surrendering Our Ambitions to the Service of Christ In this thought-provoking book, theologian Andrew Purves challenges the traditional understanding of Christian ministry and presents a bold vision for reclaiming the true essence of Christ's ministry in the modern Church. The author argues that the current approach to ministry, centered on human effort and achievement, is fundamentally flawed and hinders the full potential of God's work in the world. Instead, he advocates for a paradigm shift that prioritizes the crucifixion of ministry, surrendering our ambitions to the service of Christ. This radical appraisal offers a fresh perspective on the nature of Christian service, one that emphasizes the importance of dying to self and allowing Christ to live through us. Purves begins by exposing the problem at the heart of contemporary ministry: the tendency to rely on human effort and strategy rather than entrusting ourselves fully to God's sovereignty. He contends that this approach not only hinders the effectiveness of our ministries but also distracts us from the true source of power and life – Jesus himself. To address this issue, he invites readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery and introspection, examining their own motivations, desires, and understanding of what it means to serve Christ.
Распятие служения: отдача наших амбиций служению Христу В этой книге, побуждающей к размышлениям, теолог Эндрю Пурвес бросает вызов традиционному пониманию христианского служения и представляет смелое видение для восстановления истинной сущности служения Христа в современной Церкви. Автор утверждает, что нынешний подход к служению, сосредоточенный на человеческих усилиях и достижениях, является фундаментально ошибочным и препятствует полному потенциалу Божьего дела в мире. Вместо этого он выступает за смену парадигмы, которая отдает приоритет распятию служения, отдавая наши амбиции служению Христу. Эта радикальная оценка предлагает новый взгляд на природу христианского служения, который подчеркивает важность смерти для себя и позволяет Христу жить через нас. Purves начинает с того, что раскрывает проблему, лежащую в основе современного служения: склонность полагаться на человеческие усилия и стратегию, а не полностью доверять себя суверенитету Бога. Он утверждает, что такой подход не только препятствует эффективности нашего служения, но и отвлекает нас от истинного источника силы и жизни - самого Иисуса. Для решения этой проблемы он предлагает читателям отправиться в путешествие самопознания и самоанализа, исследуя свои собственные побуждения, желания и понимание того, что значит служить Христу.
La crucifixion du ministère : donner nos ambitions au service du Christ Dans ce livre de réflexion, le théologien Andrew Purves remet en question la compréhension traditionnelle du ministère chrétien et présente une vision audacieuse pour rétablir la véritable essence du service du Christ dans l'Église moderne. L'auteur affirme que l'approche actuelle du ministère, axée sur les efforts et les réalisations humaines, est fondamentalement erronée et entrave le plein potentiel de la cause de Dieu dans le monde. Au lieu de cela, il préconise un changement de paradigme qui donne la priorité à la crucifixion du service, en donnant notre ambition au service du Christ. Cette évaluation radicale offre une nouvelle vision de la nature du ministère chrétien, qui souligne l'importance de la mort pour soi-même et permet au Christ de vivre à travers nous. Purves commence par révéler le problème qui sous-tend le ministère moderne : la tendance à compter sur l'effort humain et la stratégie plutôt que de se fier entièrement à la souveraineté de Dieu. Il affirme que cette approche non seulement entrave l'efficacité de notre ministère, mais aussi nous distrait de la véritable source de force et de vie, Jésus lui - ​ même. Pour résoudre ce problème, il invite les lecteurs à se lancer dans un voyage de connaissance de soi et d'introspection, explorant leurs propres motivations, désirs et compréhension de ce que signifie servir le Christ.

Afirma que este enfoque no sólo impide la eficacia de nuestro ministerio, sino que también nos distrae de la verdadera fuente de poder y de vida: Jesús mismo.

Crocifissione del servizio: il conferimento delle nostre ambizioni al servizio di Cristo In questo libro di riflessione, il teologo Andrew Purves sfida la comprensione tradizionale del servizio cristiano e rappresenta una visione coraggiosa per ricostruire la vera essenza del servizio di Cristo nella Chiesa moderna. L'autore sostiene che l'attuale approccio al servizio, concentrato sugli sforzi umani e sui successi, è fondamentalmente sbagliato e ostacola il pieno potenziale della causa di Dio nel mondo. Egli è invece favorevole a un cambio di paradigma, che dà la priorità alla crocifissione del servizio, dando la nostra ambizione al servizio di Cristo. Questa valutazione radicale offre una nuova visione della natura del servizio cristiano, che sottolinea l'importanza della morte per se stessi e permette a Cristo di vivere attraverso di noi. Purves inizia rivelando il problema alla base del servizio moderno: la tendenza a fare affidamento su sforzi e strategie umane piuttosto che fidarsi pienamente della sovranità di Dio. Egli sostiene che questo approccio non solo ostacola l'efficacia del nostro servizio, ma ci distoglie dalla vera fonte di potere e di vita, Gesù stesso. Per risolvere questo problema, suggerisce ai lettori di intraprendere un viaggio di auto-conoscenza e di auto-analisi, esplorando le proprie ragioni, i propri desideri e la comprensione di cosa significa servire Cristo.
Kreuzigung des Dienstes: Hingabe unseres Ehrgeizes an den Dienst Christi In diesem Buch, das zum Nachdenken anregt, stellt der Theologe Andrew Purves das traditionelle Verständnis des christlichen Dienstes in Frage und präsentiert eine kühne Vision, um das wahre Wesen des Dienstes Christi in der modernen Kirche wiederherzustellen. Der Autor argumentiert, dass die derzeitige Herangehensweise an den Dienst, die sich auf menschliche Bemühungen und Errungenschaften konzentriert, grundsätzlich fehlerhaft ist und das volle Potenzial von Gottes Werk in der Welt behindert. Stattdessen plädiert er für einen Paradigmenwechsel, der der Kreuzigung des Dienstes Priorität einräumt und unseren Ehrgeiz dem Dienst Christi widmet. Diese radikale Bewertung bietet einen neuen Blick auf die Natur des christlichen Dienstes, der die Bedeutung des Todes für sich selbst betont und Christus erlaubt, durch uns zu leben. Purves beginnt damit, ein Problem aufzudecken, das dem modernen Dienst zugrunde liegt: die Neigung, sich auf menschliche Anstrengung und Strategie zu verlassen, anstatt sich ganz der Souveränität Gottes zu vertrauen. Er argumentiert, dass dieser Ansatz nicht nur die Wirksamkeit unseres Dienstes beeinträchtigt, sondern uns auch von der wahren Quelle der Kraft und des bens ablenkt - Jesus selbst. Um dieses Problem anzugehen, lädt er die ser ein, sich auf eine Reise der Selbsterkenntnis und Selbstbeobachtung zu begeben und ihre eigenen Motive, Wünsche und das Verständnis dafür zu erforschen, was es bedeutet, Christus zu dienen.

Hizmetin Çarmıha Gerilmesi: Hırslarımızı Mesih'in Hizmetine Geri Vermek Bu düşündürücü kitapta, ilahiyatçı Andrew Purves, Hıristiyan hizmetinin geleneksel anlayışına meydan okuyor ve Mesih'in hizmetinin gerçek özünü modern Kiliseye geri yüklemek için cesur bir vizyon sunuyor. Yazar, insan çabasına ve başarısına odaklanan mevcut hizmet yaklaşımının temelde kusurlu olduğunu ve Tanrı'nın dünyadaki çalışmalarının tam potansiyelini engellediğini savunuyor. Bunun yerine, hizmetin çarmıha gerilmesine öncelik veren ve hırslarımızı Mesih'in hizmetine veren bir paradigma değişimini savunuyor. Bu radikal değerlendirme, ölümün kendisi için önemini vurgulayan ve Mesih'in bizim aracılığımızla yaşamasına izin veren Hristiyan hizmetinin doğası üzerine yeni bir bakış açısı sunar. Purves, modern hizmetin kalbindeki sorunu ortaya koyarak başlar: Tanrı'nın egemenliğine tamamen güvenmek yerine insan çabasına ve stratejisine güvenme eğilimi. Bu yaklaşımın sadece hizmetimizin etkinliğini engellemekle kalmayıp, aynı zamanda bizi gerçek güç ve yaşam kaynağından - İsa'nın kendisinden de uzaklaştırdığını savunuyor. Bunu ele almak için, okuyucuları kendini tanıma ve iç gözlem yolculuğuna çıkmaya, kendi motivasyonlarını, arzularını ve Mesih'e hizmet etmenin ne anlama geldiğini anlamaya davet ediyor.
صلب الخدمة: إعادة طموحاتنا لخدمة المسيح في هذا الكتاب المثير للفكر، يتحدى اللاهوتي أندرو بيرفيس الفهم التقليدي للخدمة المسيحية ويقدم رؤية جريئة لاستعادة الجوهر الحقيقي لخدمة المسيح للكنيسة الحديثة. يجادل المؤلف بأن النهج الحالي للخدمة، الذي يركز على الجهد البشري والإنجاز، معيب بشكل أساسي ويعيق الإمكانات الكاملة لعمل الله في العالم. بدلاً من ذلك، يدعو إلى نقلة نوعية تعطي الأولوية لصلب الخدمة، مما يعطي طموحاتنا لخدمة المسيح. يقدم هذا التقييم الجذري منظورًا جديدًا لطبيعة الخدمة المسيحية يؤكد على أهمية الموت لنفسه ويسمح للمسيح بالعيش من خلالنا. يبدأ Purves بالكشف عن المشكلة في قلب الخدمة الحديثة: الميل إلى الاعتماد على الجهد البشري والاستراتيجية بدلاً من الوثوق الكامل بالنفس في سلطان الله. ويقول ان هذا النهج لا يعيق فعالية خدمتنا فحسب، بل يصرفنا ايضا عن المصدر الحقيقي للقوة والحياة - يسوع نفسه. لمعالجة هذا الأمر، يدعو القراء إلى الشروع في رحلة من المعرفة بالذات والاستبطان، واستكشاف دوافعهم ورغباتهم وفهمهم لما يعنيه خدمة المسيح.
