DOWNLOAD EBOOKDeacons Today challenges that the approved restoration of the permanent diaconate will only be effective if there is a deeper understanding of the nature of diaconate in the witness of the New Testament and the history and tradition of the ministry in the earliest centuries of the church's life.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhile speaking out against the status quo of his day, Jesus referred to himself and his message as new wine poured out into new wineskins. Today consecrated life is living a time of deep change and is discovering the "new wine": Where shall we put this wine, in old wineskins or in new wineskins? These guidelines test the wineskins made to preserve the new wines that the Spirit continues to give to his Church, inciting us to initiate changes through concrete action in the short and long term.It is an exercise in "ecclesial discernment" through which consecrated men and women are called to undergo new changes so that ideals and doctrine become real in our lives: systems, structures, diaconia, styles, relationships and language. These guidelines are the product of what emerged from the events held during the Year of Consecrated Life.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt is with a sense of gratitude and joy that I present to you the Final Document of the Plenary Council of the Order, which took place in Konstancin-Jeziorna, Poland, from November 17-30, 2013. Forty-three friars with active voice participated in this meeting, which took for its inspiration the challenge issued by Jesus to his disciples and to us, “New Wine, New Wineskins” (cf. Mt. 9, 17). This theme challenges us as an Order to seek always the voice of the Lord Jesus at work in our fraternities, which have as their central responsibility to build centers of fraternal communion so that both the individual friar and the fraternity might become living witnesses to the goodness and mercy of God at work in our midst, going about the world as lesser brothers of the Gospel.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKToday many believers have been led astray and are in bondage, because they have been fed on the old wine - the traditions of men that have accumulated in Christendom through twenty centuries, and that have been added to God's Word, or that have replaced God's Word. When the new wine is offered to them, they say, "The old is good enough" (Luke 5:39). This they remain in spiritual stagnation, year after year. Most Christians are unwilling to give up the traditions of their elders, even when they see these to be clearly contrary to the teaching of God's Word. We need to come back to the faith that was revealed by God to His holy apostles and prophets, as recorded in the New Testament Scriptures, if we are to fulfil God's purpose in our day and age. To come back to that, we must be willing to do violence to every tradition of man that is contrary to God's Word (Matthew 11:12). This book will change your life and your ministry, because it will question many 'sacred' ideas that you have held that have no foundation in God's Word. That in turn will save you from regret and loss when you stand before the judgment seat of Christ to give an account of your life to Him. He who has an open mind and a bold heart, let him read on...

DOWNLOAD EBOOKJesus said that his Church is to be the light of the world. America is full of churches, so why is our nation fading into darkness? Many of the lives of those who identify with a church do not look all that much different from those of the world. Are we just practicing our old traditions without the power of God? What would the Church look like if we started over with just the Scriptures for our design? This study challenges us to start new with a fresh biblical framework.
