Kann Business an sich moralisch gut und gottgefällig sein? Manchmal erscheint Business so zwielichtig - Endergebnisse werden manipuliert, Verbraucher werden getäuscht, oder jemand wird befördert, nur weil er Beziehungen hat. Wayne Grudem stellt ein neues Konzept vor: Business selbst verherrlicht Gott, wenn es auf eine Weise betrieben wird, die Gottes Charakter und Schöpfung nachahmt. Er zeigt, dass alle Aspekte des Business, einschließlich der Themen Eigentum, Gewinn, Geld, Wettbewerb sowie Kreditaufnahme und -vergabe, Gott verherrlichen, weil sie Gottes Wesen widerspiegeln.

In essence, the prophetic watchman is a multifaceted role that requires a unique combination of vigilance, discernment, courage, and faithfulness. These watchmen are not only observers but also protectors, intercessors, leaders, and guides. They stand in the gap, bridging the distance between God and His people, and ensuring that His will is communicated and fulfilled. Their role is one of immense responsibility, requiring a deep commitment to God and a willingness to sacrifice for the sake of others. The prophetic watchman is a vital part of the spiritual landscape, providing guidance, ...

The African-American community represents a paradox of sorts. While collective success has been achieved in many areas, African-Americans still disproportionately suffer from a variety of social ills. The residual impact of years of slavery and exclusion from the major institutions of American life are still trenchant. Yet there is hope. As we move forward into a new millennium, our greatest answers can be found by exploring the past.

My first question was “Does God exist?” But, I would have other questions that followed if He existed. For example, if He existed, I needed to know which God was it or does it matter? If it was Jesus all along, I had some questions. I was a Catholic growing up, but I didn’t have answers to the "Problem of Evil". Was Jesus the savior that damns all my friends and the billions of non-believers to hell who don’t believe in him?

A popular survey of how we can think Christianly, see clearly, and respond as Christ would to contemporary ethical issues such as crime, rehabilitation, consumerism, war, euthanasia, same sex relationships, and other complex issues that confront us in the 21st century....

The idea of moral evil has always held a special place in philosophy and theology because the existence of evil has implications for the dignity of the human and the limits of human action. Andrew Michael Flescher proposes four interpretations of evil, drawing on philosophical and theological sources and using them to trace through history the moral traditions that are associated with them.

This is an audiobook hoping to embolden doubt and sharpen unanswerable questions, all in the context of loving the self and one another. Ridiculously, it believes the world can be healed through such a hope. It is especially addressed to those allergic to the word “faith”, and others who feel confident and proud in the faith they profess or system of thought they live by. Humbling Faith helps us see how our beliefs, or non-beliefs, our belongings, and identities, often remain flawed, myopic, self-absorbed, unredeemed.

Sin, the newest contribution by Gregory Mellema, provides a short and lively summary of what contemporary philosophers are saying about the relationship between the traditional theological category of sin and contemporary philosophical ethics.

When Jesus spoke the words, “As in the days of Noah,” He provided a profound and sobering parallel between the time preceding His second coming and the antediluvian world that existed before the great flood. This phrase, found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, serves as a critical warning and a prophetic insight into the spiritual and moral state of humanity at the end of the age. It encapsulates a series of vivid and harrowing images that are meant to awaken and alert believers to the urgent need for vigilance, preparedness, and spiritual integrity. The days of Noah were ...

Dr. Worden carefully traces the historical shift through the centuries of Christianity through the Reformation on how profit-seeking and wealth are assumed to be related to the sin of greed. In short, making and accumulating money was thought by most major theologians for centuries to indicate the presence of greed, the love of more and more. The uncoupling of greed from earthly treasure began to take hold only with Aquinas amid novel pressures from Commercial Revolution.

Preacher and theologian John Piper has ambitiously operated his Desiring God Ministries to promote the Calvinist worldview. Piper seems very dedicated and determined, but does he advance a valid theology? Does Piper do more good or more harm? To answer this, this short audiobook critiques Piper's many videos and podcasts.

Jesus said, "You must be born again." This book seeks to show the listener that "new life" is new in quality and capacity, not just new in time, and that a sixth need, blessedness, should be added to William Glasser's Choice Theory so that a more complete view of human functioning can be understood. The human soul needs a "felt" relationship with God, through Jesus Christ, in order to function as God designed it. Blessedness is a real human need. Thomas Traherne, a 17th-century pastor and philosopher, helps us to understand this need and how to bring it to a reality in our lives.

Our churches are full of injustice. Our Christian homes suffer with injustice. Our media thrives on injustice. Our nation has been damaged by injustice. Micah 6:8 says, …and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? The Bible answers every problem we face. We know that justice is the great attribute of God, and we are to be like Jesus. Justice should be of utmost priority to God’s people as we strive to balance the scales of justice in every area of life. Justice is not only the equaling of punishment to the transgression ...

Spiritual Authority is not a topic of most sermons and generally absent from any discussion of Christian life, and yet it is essential in many ways to the challenges facing the Christian in the 21st century. In this excerpt from his book, "Solid Ground", Mr. Clay explores 1) how authority works for the church, home, and world, 2) how these spheres differ, and 3) how the Christian should interact with them - particularly when they are wrong. If you have ever wrestled with obeying authority in your life, this is a title that will help you understand what God would have you do.

What is libertarianism? It seems like a lot of libertarians are atheists, so does that mean it's a fundamentally unbelieving philosophy? Can a faithful Christian also be a libertarian without denying the faith? Pastor Gordan Runyan gives a lot of solid answers to these challenges and more in this short essay. His contention is that the Bible actually teaches a libertarian ethic, from cover to cover. Jesus Himself taught and modeled libertarian-style leadership. The Christian Scriptures uniformly teach that self-control under the commandments of God is the first, most basic, most vital form ...

Il est fréquent d’entendre les gens parler de santé, de richesse et de prospérité comme étant des signes de la bénédiction de Dieu. Cependant, Jésus a dit que ce sont les pauvres, les persécutés et les personnes qui souffrent qui sont bénis. Dans ce petit livre, R. C. Sproul examine une section bien appréciée du Nouveau Testament appelée les « béatitudes ». Il utilise les célèbres paroles prononcées par Jésus au début du sermon sur la montagne pour expliquer que la vraie bénédiction n’est possible qu’en saisissant la grâce de Dieu en Jésus-Christ.
