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.

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.

Es ist das brisante Thema unserer Zeit. Christen, die Kirche und die Bibel scheinen mit der modernen Haltung zur Homosexualität nicht im Einklang zu stehen. Und es gibt eine wachsende Feindseligkeit gegenüber denen, die die moderne Sicht nicht teilen. Ist Gott etwa homophob? Und was sagen wir zu Christen und Nichtchristen, die sich vom gleichen Geschlecht angezogen fühlen? Sam Allberry weiß, wovon er spricht. Mit diesem kurzen, leicht verständlichen Hörbuch möchte er verunsicherten Christen helfen zu verstehen, was Gott dazu in der Bibel gesagt hat.

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.

In this graphic, thought-provoking book, Ed Griffin-Nolan depicts the experiences of Witness for Peace (WFP), a group of Americans who bore witness to the war in Nicaragua - an event that resulted in the killing and wounding of many innocent Central American civilians.

Jesus came as a servant to serve. Donald Trump came to be master, ruler, dictator and to take. They are direct opposites of one another. Jesus said in Matthew, " You cannot serve two masters." Evangelical Christians in the MAGA GOP must answer a question: Whose side are you on? " Beth Moore, and important voice among evangelical women in America has said: "I have never seen anything in these United States of America I found more astonishingly seductive and dangerous to the saints of God than Trumpism.

Working in Vancouver's notorious downtown eastside to pay for her theological education at Regent College, Meera Bai Grover was faced with questions about whether or not providing people who use drugs with sterile supplies and a place to inject contravened her faith. She knew she wanted to care for people with addiction but did not know how to do so in a way that fit with her own moral code.

Mark 8:36 presents one of the most profound questions ever asked: “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?” This inquiry, posed by Jesus Himself, encapsulates the great contrast between the temporal and the eternal. It forces one to consider the fleeting nature of worldly pursuits compared to the immeasurable worth of the soul. In an age that prioritizes success, wealth, and personal ambition, the truth behind this question remains as relevant today as it was when first spoken. The temporal world is marked by its constant change. Everything that ...

The Cross of Jesus Christ stands as the single most necessary and transformative event in human history. It is the ultimate solution to the deepest problem that has plagued humanity since the beginning—our separation from God. The need for the Cross is not a concept created by religion, nor is it simply a symbolic gesture of sacrifice. The Cross was necessary because it directly addressed the most fundamental crisis of the human race. It was not just an option for salvation; it was the only way to bridge the chasm between a holy God and a fallen world. Without the Cross, there would be no...

The realm of the supernatural is often misunderstood, especially when it comes to distinguishing between the power of God and the deceptive works of demonic spirits. Many assume that all miraculous healings and supernatural occurrences are evidence of divine intervention, but the reality is more complex. The spiritual world is a battleground, and within it exists both the power of God and the counterfeits of Satan. Throughout history, false signs and wonders have been used to deceive people, leading them into spiritual bondage under the guise of divine power. One of the most dangerous ...

“A man who does not hate evil terribly, does not love good heartily.” –Charles Spurgeon Has the devil gained a foothold in society because we have failed to be angry? Love and hate are not in opposition to one another! Love and hate must to be united in action if we are to overcome the evil that our world is facing. Pastor Chris shares his journey since the COVID-19 shutdowns, and the personal challenges he faced within his community. Many believers have backed down from the fight because they fear looking angry or mean to the world. The enemy knows that we are good at love, but not ...

In the New Testament, the Apostle Peter offers a sobering warning about the spiritual climate of the last days. In his second epistle, he addresses the emergence of mockers who will openly ridicule and deny God's truth. This warning, found in 2 Peter 3:3-7, is both prophetic and instructive, offering insights into the characteristics of these mockers, their motivations, and the inevitable judgment of God upon them. Peter's admonition serves as a clarion call to believers to remain steadfast in faith, fully aware of the reality of God's promises and the certainty of His coming judgment. The ...

Many parents have ignorantly Kiddified their children. A Kiddified child is a child that has been unconsciously turned into a spiritual goat and dedicated to Satan. There are many ways through which Satan has made parents kiddify their children of which one is calling their children kids. In actuality, a kid is a young goat, and many have no idea that kid is the name for a young goat. Nonetheless, does it really matter what names we call the children? Is calling the children kids (goats) just a harmless nomenclature?

In one of the shortest yet most powerful statements in the Bible, Jesus warns His followers with three words: "Remember Lot's wife" (Luke 17:32). This seemingly simple command carries a depth of meaning that stretches across the ages and speaks directly to the hearts of believers today. To understand the significance of Jesus’ words, we must first revisit the story of Lot’s wife, examine the context in which Jesus spoke these words, and reflect on the enduring spiritual lessons that they convey.

Die moderne Kultur wird zunehmend von Fragen und Antworten rund um die sexuelle Identität beeinflusst – ob im öffentlichen Diskurs oder bei kulturellen Trends. Jedes gesellschaftliche Phänomen hat seine historischen Wurzeln. Von Augustinus, über Rousseau bis hin zu Marx oder Freud sind unterschiedliche Auffassungen des Selbst vorgestellt worden. Im 20. Jahrhundert wurden diese Konzepte des Selbst nicht nur psychologisiert und eng mit der Sexualität verschränkt, sondern unter dem Einfluss von Leuten wie Reich, Marcuse und anderen ebenfalls zu einer politischen Angelegenheit gemacht.
