Andrew Murray is a palpable example of person who lived a life surrendered to the Lord without compromising or straying from his belief. The exploration of Andrew Murray’s “Absolute Surrender” offers practical application to fulfill the plan of God for believers regardless of exterior influences. Andrew Murray’s convictions suggest that all Christians should approach their life with a wholehearted surrender to God. (Romans 12:2, KJV) “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Exploring the practicability of being totally surrendered to the Lord considering the current...

This paper will first discuss the history of Andrew Murray and how he established his theology for Christian life. Next, the theological principles that encouraged his views as he sought to commit his life to Christ, will be examined. Finally, it will investigate how he used theology to encourage spiritual growth in the church. The goal of this paper is to examine Andrew Murray’s view on the concept of practical theology as it relates to Christian life and the lack of spiritual growth in the church. Andrew Murray Andrew Murray illustrates his experiences from his youth to adulthood and his steadfast dedication to God. Born in Cape Town, South Africa in 1828, Andrew was reared by parents who were in the ministry. His father, Andrew Murray, Sr., was a minister. Andrew knew at an early age that he wanted to be a minister, but that was originally a career choice and not an act of faith. It was not until he completed his master’s degree and went on to study theology that he...

...[pic] Christian Relationships Unit 1: Worship 1. Preliminary concerns 1.1. Misconceptions about worship The first popular misconception is that ‘worship is singing’. We treat ‘worship’ and ‘singing praises’ as synonymous terms. We speak as if they are the same thing. To reduce worship to singing is to dilute the biblical concept of worship in a way that is grossly irresponsible. It reduces the richness of biblical worship to one of its components. Yet when many Christians today commonly speak about worship, they mean nothing more than ‘singing’. |When you think or speak of worship, do you automatically associate it with ‘singing worship songs’? Is this the common usage| |in your church? If so, how do you think this fault crept into your vocabulary? | | | There are probably many ways this misconception has crept into our language and our thought. One key factor is that we have tended to label Christian music as ‘worship’, and we often call the person who leads the singing in our churches ‘the worship leader’. Unfortunately, this has caused us to equate worship with singing. A second misconception is that ‘worship is something we do on special occasions’. Worship is what we do when we gather with God’s people. The activities that make...
