As persecutions in increasing number threaten us, so the more are we called on to give earnest thought to the question of how faith ought to receive them, and the duty of carefully considering it concerns you no less, who no doubt, by not accepting the Comforter, the guide to all truth, have, as was natural, opposed us hitherto in regard to other questions also.

When it comes to God, most people live in the Someday Zone. "Maybe someday God will heal me." "Maybe someday God will deliver me." "Maybe someday God will bless me." Someday...someday...someday. Everything is always going to happen someday. The good news is that God is not a someday God. He's a right-now God. He cares about you right now and he wants to bless you right now. You don't have to wait until someday. He's ready and willing to work in your life today. Right now. Immediately.

Self-identifying as 'evangelical' is risky business these days. What is Evangelicalism? Is it a historical artifact? A political philosophy? A set of doctrines? A litmus test for genuine faith? Perhaps more important, what will come to mind when future generations hear something described as 'evangelical'? Routes and Radishes invites you into a conversation about what the evangelical movement has been and what it is going to be.

The Christian church is strong, thanks in large part to the devotion of its adherents. However, many have attempted to weaken the church over the millennia - particularly those under the influence of Satan.

Down through the ages, men and women have given their lives to carry out the command of Jesus. Bob and Penny Lord have tracked the lives of 12 men who have said "Yes!" to Jesus, and dedicated their lives to that yes, some at the cost of their lives. Their biographies parallel the times of crisis in our church. Bob and Penny have set their sights on the man and the time in which he lived. They have started at the beginning of our infant church, with one of the greatest adventurers our faith has ever known, Paul the Apostle, and continued to our present day.

This book is written for Christians, and is also helpful for someone looking to understand a Christian worldview.

In The Top 10 Stinking Lies from the Pulpit, Rick White challenges 10 beliefs that are taught in many churches today. A few of these are taught in nearly every church. Rick uses an abundance of verses to debunk these Christian "myths" that have caused the faith of many to be shipwrecked. Your theological notions very well may be challenged while listening.

We no longer need to be confused. We know what 666 is! We know what the Beast is! We know what the second Beast is! We know which countries will rise and which countries will fall! With knowledge of this information in hand, we can sit back and watch as everything unfolds. We can know that there is really no reason for us to fear anything. God's plan is beautiful! And the end is good!

Our author seems to have been a North-African bishop, of whom little is known save what we learn from his own writings. He has been supposed to incline to some ideas of Praxeas, and also to the Millenarians, but perhaps on insufficient grounds. His Millenarianism reflects the views of a very primitive age, and that without the corrupt Chiliasm of a later period, which brought about a practical repudiation of the whole system. As a poetical work the following prose version probably does it no injustice. His versification is pronounced very crabbed, and his diction is the wretched patois of ...

"Sailing into the Storm of Christian Controversies" invites readers to navigate the turbulent waters of some of the most pressing and divisive issues facing the modern church. From the alarming rise of professing Christians experimenting with DMT (N,N-dimethyltryptamine) in pursuit of spiritual experiences—despite clear biblical prohibitions—to enduring debates on grace versus works, Calvinism versus Molinism, and the role of Near Death Experiences in faith, this book takes a deep dive into these subjects. With a steady compass rooted in scripture, the author tackles each topic with ...

Il existe plusieurs livres pour nous aider avec l’étude de la Bible, la prière, le service ou l’évangélisation, mais peu pour nous aider à chanter. Ce domaine mérite de recevoir autant d’attention ; il est même lié à l’épanouissement de ces autres sphères de notre vie spirituelle. Keith et Kristyn Getty présentent le chant comme un aspect vital de notre communion avec Dieu. Ils nous donnent des conseils bibliques, pratiques et centrés sur l’Évangile pour promouvoir le chant et l’adoration dans l’Église ainsi que dans notre vie personnelle et familiale.

L’Église d’aujourd’hui a besoin d’un réveil. Comme l’affirme Paul Washer : « Nous ne pouvons pas simplement faire ce qui semble juste à nos yeux, puis nous attendre à ce que le Saint-Esprit vienne bénir nos efforts. » À vrai dire, le diable n’a guère besoin de s’opposer aux prières de l’Église pour un réveil, à moins que le peuple de Dieu ne cherche réellement à vivre et à diriger ses assemblées selon la Parole de Dieu. Ce livre examine dix domaines où l’Église d’aujourd’hui a négligé de suivre les directives bibliques.

Comment peut-on définir l’Église ? Lorsqu’on mentionne le mot « Église », beaucoup de gens pensent à un bâtiment. D’autres l’associent à une dénomination chrétienne en particulier. Mais l’Église est bien plus que cela. Dans ce petit livre, R. C. Sproul explique que l’Église ne fait pas référence à un bâtiment, mais à un groupe de personnes appartenant à la famille universelle de Dieu et appelées à vivre des vies qui le glorifient.

Liberating God: What the Church Doesn't Teach About the Bible is a no-apologies proclamation of the gospel found throughout all of scripture. The message of the Bible is not two separate messages, one old and one new. The Bible preaches one coherent, unbroken gospel throughout its pages. From the story of Moses and the Exodus; from prophets like Jeremiah to kings like David; from tales like Jonah and the Whale to parables told by Jesus; even letters from Apostle Paul, all share the same good news of a liberating God.

Très souvent, nous ne traitons pas tout le monde de la même manière... Si quelqu’un porte des vêtements stylés, est très fort en sport, ou obtient de bons résultats à l’école... on a tout de suite envie qu’il devienne notre ami, n’est-ce pas?

Is het volgen van de livestream van een kerkdienst voor een christen niet voldoende? Is het nog wel de moeite waard je bij een plaatselijke gemeente aan te sluiten? Is het echt zo belangrijk om iedere week samen te komen? Collin Hansen en Jonathan Leeman gaan op deze vragen in. Herontdekking gaat over onderwerpen als de bedoeling van de gemeente, het belang van de preek, het lidmaatschap, de tucht en hoe we leden kunnen liefhebben die zo heel anders zijn dan wij. Jij hebt anderen nodig (en anderen hebben jou nodig) om christen te zijn.
