THE two little words which head this page touch a subject of vast importance in religion. That sub-ject is the great duty of separation from the world. This is the point which St. Paul had in view when he wrote to the Corin¬thians, “Come out,—be separate.” The subject is one which demands the best attention of all who profess and call themselves Christians. In every age of the Church “separa¬tion from the world” has always been one of the grand evidences of a work of grace in the heart. He that has been really born of the Spirit, and made a new creature in Christ Jesus, has ...

These letters date back to 95 AD, but they help us make a fascinating discovery about civilization: Life hasn’t changed that much over the last two millennia.

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...

The New Testament tells the extraordinary and moving story of the life of Christ and the founding of His Church. This generous selection from the texts which lie at the root of 2,000 years of European civilization ranges between the powerful sincerity of the Evangelists and the ecstatic vision of John's New Jerusalem.

WHEN this fair world rose out of chaos, and man, formed in the image of his Maker, was invested with do mini on “over all the earth,” “The morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy;” even the Lord himself looked down from Heaven upon every tiling that He had made, and “behold it was very good.” Had man continued holy, he would have continued happy; hut an enemy was at hand. Satan, the leader of that rebel host of angels who kept not then first estate, beguiled Eve through his subtlety, and thus human nature became subject to the arch deceiver. From ...

“CHRIST IS ALL.”—Col. iii. 6. My text is so very short that you cannot forget it; and, I am quite certain, if you are Christians at all, you will be sure to agree with it. What a multitude of religions there are in this poor wicked world of ours. Men have taken it into their heads to invent various systems of religion, and if you look round the world you will see scores of different sects; but it is a great fact, that while there are a multitude of false religions, there is but one that is true. While there are many falsehoods, there can be but one truth— real religion is therefore ...

Ephesians presents a wide-ranging panorama of the Christian gospel and its implications. It looks backwards toward the creation of the world, and it looks forward to the time when God will be "all in all." It foregrounds the work of Jesus the Messiah and the work of the spirit, and it positions the church as central to the purposes of God--a small, working model of new creation.

How did the movement founded by Jesus transform more in the first 75 years after his death than it has in the 2,000 years since? This book tells the story of how the Christian movement, which began as relatively informal, rural, Hebrew- and Aramaic-speaking, and closely anchored to the Jewish synagogue, became primarily urban, Greek-speaking, and gentile by the early second century, spreading through the Greco-Roman world with a mission agenda and church organization distinct from its roots in Jewish Galilee.

BRILLIANTS ¬ Selected from the Writings of C. H. SPURGEON *** ¬ The truest lengthening of life is to live while we live, wasting no time, but using every hour for the highest ends. *** So sweet are the comforts of the Lord, that not only the saints themselves may sing of them, but even the heavens and the earth may take up the song. It Cakes something to make a mountain sing; and yet the prophet summons quite a choir of them. Lebanon, and Sirion, and the high hills of Bashan and Moab, he would set them all singing because of Jehovah's grace to His own Zion. May we not also make mountains ...

In this publication, we will explore the subject of false ministers. Jesus said that many would come in His name. As Christians, we need to be able to identify false ministers. Though some may appear like true Christians, the scriptures provide guidelines for their identification. It is our hope that those Christians will boldly expose these false ministers who endeavor to invade the Christian community.

Martin Luther would have written a glowing recommendation of this book if he were alive today. In part one, Beckham explors the traditional church paradigm and the history that drives it compared to a cell-based model for church life. In part two, Beckham explains how the structure of a cell-based church reflects God's nature and embraces both Christ's transcendence and immanence. In the third part of the book, Jesus' revolutionary design for the church is explored. The Second Reformation: Reshaping the church for the 21st century is a thinking man's guide to the cell-based church.

How was the Bible written?—“Whence is it? From heaven, or of men?”—Had the writers of the Bible any special or peculiar help in doing their work?—Is there anything in the Bible which makes it unlike all other books, and therefore demands our respectful attention?—These are questions of vast importance. They are questions to which I wish to offer an answer in this volume. To speak plainly, the subject I propose to examine is that deep one, the inspiration of Scripture. I believe the Bible to have been written by inspira¬tion of God, and I want others to be of the same belief. ...
