In this transformative new book, "Restoring David's Tabernacle: Awakening Modern Worship Through Ancient Truths," Dr. Welch invites readers on a profound journey into the ancient patterns of worship that are making a powerful resurgence in contemporary society. Drawing from the rich tapestry of Scripture, particularly Acts 15, Dr. Welch highlights a pivotal declaration made by the apostle James, who invokes the prophetic words of Amos about the restoration of the “tabernacle of David.” This restoration signifies a divine invitation extended to the people of the earth—a call to engage ...

The story begins with a simple grain of rice: one grain on the first square of a chessboard, two on the second, four on the third, and so on. By the 64th square, the number is staggering—over 18 quintillion grains, more than the world could produce. This ancient tale of exponential growth captures the same principle that drives multiplying groups: small, consistent actions that, over time, result in extraordinary impact. In Multiplying Groups, Josh Hunt explores how this principle has fueled some of the most dynamic movements in church history. Drawing from the groundbreaking work of ...

Here is a perceptive evaluation of the new “emerging church” movement showing how we must not only interact with a fast-changing culture but also have our vision and practice of ministry shaped by biblical theology with Scripture as the norm.

The Church of Christ, at this present hour, is host to a multitude of frustrated and disenchanted ministers and scholars. From the inside of ministry, the veneer of our movement disappears and the blemishes take center-stage. Discouragement is common. In response to this state of affairs, we asked an eclectic cast of authors, ministers, and scholars to answer the question, "Why did you stay within our movement?" The result is a diverse set of answers which we hope will create some hope for the future of our people. Contents: Preface, Scot McKnight Introduction, Benjamin J. Williams I Stayed...

Shishyashram, a community of Christians stewarding their skills and minds to glorify God, has the unique opportunity of reaching out to the red-light district of GB Road in New Delhi to share the love of Christ with the women who reside there. The Holy Spirit led us to go there and revealed to us how our Lord Jesus walked on this earth, choosing to meet people no one else wanted to see. If we were to follow in the steps of Jesus, then our path was destined to cross GB Road.

DECEPTION IN THE CHURCH by Fred DeRuvo asks Does It Matter How You Worship? There are 41,000 different denominations that call themselves "Christian" and all would claim that they are the truth.

He will focus on the largest part of Christianity that has many different denominations, the charismatic, ecstatic Signs and Wonders Movements. These ecstatic worshipers claim to perform miraculous “healings” and speak in ...

Leaders often bear the weight of the church on their shoulders. But have we made leadership into something it was never meant to be? Most of us are familiar with Atlas, the mythological Greek figure condemned to hold up the heavens. If you have ever been a pastor, no doubt you have felt something similar—being “the leader” often feels like an overwhelming burden. In an era plagued by the fall of influential pastors, it’s time to reconsider our fundamental understanding and application of leadership. The Atlas Factor sheds light on the tragic mistake of replacing the God-ordained ...

Speaking in tongues is still practiced by many churches today . For some, it is proof of salvation and spirituality; for others, it is a proof that one has received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Many believe that the proof of the entry of the Holy Spirit into a life is speaking in tongues, after one has finished praying the prayer of salvation, one must wait for his Pentecost by praying and groaning; there are leaders who even force their followers to speak in tongues. Should and can the evangelical Christian of today speak in tongues? In addressing this subject, we do not in any way wish...
