We live in a culture that wants it all. More is seen as better. For those chasing this way of life, “narrow” seems negative. Who wants to narrow their options . . . or be seen as narrow-minded? Which is why the most well-known talk in the history of the world—the Sermon on the Mount—is also the most paradoxical one. In it, Jesus holds up the narrow path as the most spacious . . . and the broader path as the more confining one. Rich Villodas, bestselling author of The Deeply Formed Life, explores what today’s broad and narrow paths look like so you can discern which one you’re on.

Talk is cheap, and so is a profession of faith apart from repentance. But we live in a day when people put more stock in a once-said prayer than a life reflective of a renewed heart. Taking Matthew 7:13-27 as his text, Paul Washer reminds us of Jesus' insistence that his way is narrow and that its travelers will bear good fruit and rest on the solid foundation of God's word.

Teen rebellion is seen as a cultural norm, but Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach begs to differ. In Why I Didn't Rebel - based on a viral blog post that has been read by more than 750,000 people - Lindenbach shows how rebellion is neither unavoidable nor completely understood. Based on interviews with her peers and combining the latest research in psychology and social science with stories from her own life, she gives parents a new paradigm for raising kids who don't go off the rails.

Many parts of Scripture seem incompatible or contradictory on the surface. How do Lutherans and other Bible-believing Christians resolve these areas? Is there a right or wrong way to interpret the Bible and its teachings? This book examines these questions and takes on controversial and confusing parts of God's word. The author discusses topics like predestination, God's providence, and the place of reason in religion, in an effort to show that a proper understanding of these elements can help guide us on the road to God.

A slave runs away from his master. A mutual friend steps in to mediate between the two of them. Can there be healing in such a scarred relationship?

The apostle John, the one who Jesus loved, commended us nine times in his gospel and in his epistles to show our love for Jesus through obeying his commandments. In the Gospel that I present in my 57 published books, I continue to point people to the commandments of Jesus and in this short devotional I have taken some time to present them to you in an easy and understandable way.

This book is direct and to the point. In it we share a word the church does not want to hear in this modern age of political correctness. But we really need to consider the implications. "You can enter God's Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it." We must start with the narrowness. Many people are made nervous by this.

The true reason so many of us dismiss the Bible is just so: we really don't have the fortitude (spiritually, mentally or physically) to do the things we surely would do if we made the commitment to live the way the Bible says we ought. Western Religion tells us that the consequences of failure (the Lake that burns with fire and sulfur) are serious enough for us to try to live the Bible anyway...

Thanks for finding your way here! Should you stay for a bit, I hope you experience encouragement, laughter and heart challenging material. I invite you, or uplift those who are already trailblazing along, to know Christ more deeply and realize how much He loves you! As women, we have many beautiful and unique layers; Proverbs 31:17 states, "She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong." We wear many hats and juggle the weight to keep it all together with excellence. In all the exhaustive efforts, do things ever become too much to hold together? The Bible says in Matthew 7:13-14 ...

This is nowhere more evident than in the doctrine of salvation. In this book, God's ways are proven to align with common sense. The subject is explained simply, understandably, and sensibly through elucidation of God's word.
