When most people think about a true love story, they naturally envision a couple jumping into a bed and making mad passionate love to each other. If the scene is from a movie or from a television show, then they would probably see the two going into a bedroom together and then waking up the next day lying next to each other. However, while that in many cases might be an example of true love, it pales in comparison to the true love that God the Father had showed to human beings when He had offered His only begotten Son on the cross of Calvary. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world, ...

Great multitudes of Christians will be shocked when the rapture takes place and they are left behind! These believers will be utterly astonished to find themselves in the horrors of the tribulation. Most believers don't realize that the popular left behind series has lulled the Church asleep with the false assurance they will be raptured when Jesus returns no matter what their spiritual condition.

Many of us are familiar with the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John; but what about the Gospel of Leviticus 23? Yes, in one Old Testament chapter, perfectly centered within the first Five Books of the Bible, also known as the Law or Torah, we have the full Gospel Message!

Redemption is the heartbeat of the Bible. From Genesis to Revelation, the sacred pages tell one great and unified story—a story not fragmented or accidental, but divinely orchestrated from before time began. This story of redemption is not linear alone, nor does it end in tragedy or suspension; it is circular in nature. It begins in the eternal heart and mind of God before the foundation of the world and circles back to the eternal future where God will dwell with His redeemed people in a restored creation forever. It is a cycle of divine love, justice, mercy, and glory that unfolds ...

À travers toutes ses activités quotidiennes, le pasteur ne doit pas perdre de vue son objectif ultime : la sanctification du peuple de Dieu. C'est là le cœur du projet de Dieu pour les chrétiens. Dans ce livre, John MacArthur rappelle aux pasteurs de ne pas oublier la raison pour laquelle ils passent d'innombrables heures à préparer des sermons, à rendre visite à des personnes malades, à conseiller et à célébrer des mariages, surtout lorsque la ligne d'arrivée semble lointaine et qu'ils sont tentés d'abandonner.

This 39 page article is for you if you are baffled. What is Calvinism? What's with the debate between Calvinism and Arminianism? Maybe you've heard the name of John Calvin attached to a theology that sounded cold, monstrous, illogical, unbiblical, or cruel. Maybe Calvinists haven't been helpful in the task of understanding Calvinism! It's time to get some clarification. If you've been burned by all the heat surrounding the debate over things like predestination and election, Reformed theology, or the TULIP of Calvinism, maybe it's time for straightforward facts, without all the hysteria. ...

Chapter one of this text provides a general introduction to the five points of Calvinism and for the acrostic, TULIP. The intent, whenever possible, has been to share direct quotes from Pastor John Calvin on each of the points as a way to let him speak for himself. When that was not possible, the intent was to find and present consensus on the given point by other professing Calvinists. Their comments were provided along with the Bible verses that they had used to defend their position. The main premise of Calvinism is that God chooses those who will be saved and those who will be lost. So ...

The doctrine of Christ's ascension is often overlooked in the church today, yet it holds profound significance for Christian theology and the Christian life. The Glory of the Ascension by theologian Ross Hastings invites listeners to rediscover this essential truth.

Aurelius Augustinus (354-430), bishop of Hippo Regius (the modern Annaba in Algeria), is considered one of the outstanding thinkers in Western Christian civilization, Catholic and Protestant alike. Particularly influential has been his pessimistic doctrine of divine predestination, which holds that only a small proportion of humanity has been selected by God for salvation, while the overwhelming majority, including all unbaptized persons, are damned. The book is for all listeners attracted to Christian doctrine.

Secular models of peacemaking are insufficient. And the church has not always fulfilled its call to be agents of reconciliation in the world. In Reconciling All Things, Emmanuel Katongole and Chris Rice cast a comprehensive vision for reconciliation that is biblical, transformative, holistic, and global. They draw on the resources of the Christian story, including their own individual experiences in Uganda and Mississippi, to bring solid, theological reflection to bear on the work of reconciling individuals, groups, and societies.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus Christ said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” What might that have meant to His first audience on that day? They certainly had a different definition of what it meant to be poor, compared to ourselves. Once we understand what they would have thought about financial poverty, we'll be in a good place to think about its parallel: spiritual poverty. This encouraging message of Gospel invitation will be a help to your own spirit.

Are you for Christ or are you against him? You know you are either one or the other, for he says so. We learn in Matthew 12:30 in the words of Jesus himself: He that is not with me is against me. Everyone is either with Jesus wholeheartedly, confessedly, and openly, or else they are against Jesus. Which are you? For Christ or against him?

The fourth edition of this book has been written to clean up some of the poorly worded text in the first three editions and to show important Bible verses rather than just refer to them. An effort has also been made to convert previously used first person speech with more formal third person speech. In looking at the second chapter of the epistle of James, this standalone book considers authorship, the date that the whole epistle was written, and the basis for its acceptance into the biblical canon. With a strong focus on the Greek language, the goal has also been to perform good exegesis ...

Originally published in 1651 at London by New England puritan, Peter Bulkeley, and never republished until now. The Gospel Covenant was his most important work, originating from this pulpit sermons to his congregation at Concord in New England. It also includes a To the Reader by his better known contemporary, Thomas Shepard. In this work Mr. Bulkeley explains that salvation is conveyed by covenant. “That whatsoever salvation and deliverance God gives unto his people in setting them free from this misery, he doth it by virtue of, and according to his covenant.” The bulk of the book is ...

Surveys indicate that 84 percent of Christians have a misunderstanding of the true meaning of the word righteousness. Referring to God's restoration of our sinfulness and not personal piety or some code of moral purity, pastor Chris Seay offers that Jesus came to breathe life and light into the depths of all darkness. This gospel that lives according to the ways of Christ is the true Christianity. It gives us a new way to see the world and brings God's restoration to marriages, to the sick and diseased, even to the environment....
