Chapman Christian Living in the Modern World
By James Chapman
Summary of Chapman Christian Living in the Modern World
In this 15 chapter work by Chapman (Nazarene), he presents us with thoughts on Christianity in the modern world. Some of his chapters are “Cheap religion”, an appaisal of Life’s values, Faith- overcoming principle, selfishness and unselfishness, vigilance the price of safety, Grace and good sense, Is God fair? etc.
An article helps pastors and Christian workers in building a Christian Reference Library to use in producing sermons and classes. I introduce the new Bible student to three free Bible programs, and offer some considerations:
(1) When you have no books on a subject.
(2) When you cannot find information of a Bible subject.
(3) When you cannot discern how much the author discusses the subject.
(4) You are searching for the wrong key word.
Note: on my site, twmodules.com, I offer 2500+ free books for Bible study, and another 500+ books on thewordmodules.com. Also, I offer on https://theword-modules.com/ Bibles for theWord, theword-dictionary-modules.com 140+ dictionaries, concordances, lexicons, etc. for theWord, and on https://www.theword-commentary-modules.com/ I offer some 500+ Bible commentaries for theWord. All of these are free for the downloading, so if you have an Internet connection and some time and space on your hard drive, you can assemble a Christian library of around 3800 works. All free.

Evaluation by David Cox
Chapman was Nazarene, and the Nazarenes are basically a branch off of mainstream Methodism. While some would appear to be more legalistic, many have some good writings that would spiritually help people if they would take the time to read them. Chapman’s work has 15 chapters of various topics of spiritual help. His work is more a devotional type of work that a scholarly technical work. None-the-less it has good value for the student of Scripture in feeding his soul spiritually.
I would give this one a thumbs up.

pc10 Sexual Purityis an exhortation to purity in sexual matters for the Christian. We look at various aspects of the issue.
Topics: It is not an impossible fight! | The Biblical Model | Homosexuality and Prostitution | Nudity and the Mind | Self-Stimulation | Resisting the Temptation.
Excerpts: Job 31:1 I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid? Job understood that sexual sin begins with the sight, and the seeing before desiring. Job made a covenant with himself, a commitment that he would not look on young women to desire them or to let his imagination run wild with them even their image or in his thoughts. Equally, Jesus taught us in Mat. 5:28 that even thinking sinful thoughts without doing them is as sinful as actually doing them. This is an amplification of Exo 20:17 “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife”. David saw before taking (2Sam 11:2).
Fasting is to teach us that the body does not control over us, and this is exactly what is necessary for people with this problem. This sin is pinned to the thoughts, “for as he thinketh in his heart, so is he” Pro 23:7. “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” Phil 4:13.
