What is authentic faith? The Gospel According to Jesus challenges Christians to re-evaluate their commitment to Christ by examining their fruits. MacArthur asks, "What does it really mean to be saved?" He urges readers to understand that their conversion was more than a mere point in time, that...

"A compelling, heartwarming, devotional book . . . full of biblical wisdom, psychological insight, practical illustration, and gospel hope."--Christianity Today Beloved pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller offers a hope-filled answer to the question beneath every...

The book Conflicts Among the Tentacles of the Monster is a compact sociology-of-reform case study: it argues that the antebellum “benevolent empire” (Bible, tract, missions, temperance, abolition, education, etc.) projected a saintly public face while internally generating predictable power-struggles—because once a “cause” becomes an institution, it must fund itself, defend itself, and govern itself, and those needs incubate the same sins reformers claim to oppose. It maps the movement’s internal conflicts into recurring fault-lines. First is authority: church courts and local ...

Far too many Christians are waiting, hoping, and praying for healing, but either it doesn’t last, or it doesn’t come at all. Doctors shrug and say there is nothing they can do. Pastors say it is your sin or attacks of the devil that blocks your healing. This only leaves people more helpless, hopeless, afraid, ashamed, and still sick or in pain.

Although the cross is God's decisive deed in human history, the full meaning of it is far too much for a mere human mind to grasp. But through Henry Blackaby's careful examination, the cross becomes not a doctrine, but an experience. You'll be overwhelmed with the utter significance of Christ's death, leading you to a stronger sense of God's power in your daily life.

Baptisms are down, church doors are closing, and once-faithful Christians are leaving their faith. This issue has puzzled many for years. Some suggest focusing on discipleship and Christian education, while others create programs to help the Gospel “stick.” However, the problem lies in the Gospel proclamation itself. The solution isn’t a new Gospel but a bigger, historical, and more comprehensive one. The Gospel is Bigger than You Think offers a thorough approach to the biblical Gospel, broadening the listener's perspective and creating lasting Kingdom impact.

The Mosaic of Atonement: Audio Lectures offers a fresh and integrated approach to historic models of atonement. Modern treatments of the atonement have tended toward two extremes by either singling out one model as most important, or presenting multiple images with no order of arrangement. This...

From the outset, the implications of this book are terrifying. In this thorough, and sometimes disquieting, investigation of the biblical predictions, the Great Apostasy emerges, not as a foreboding future event, but as the very essence of today's postmodern Church. Like tares in the wheat field, false adherents are presently growing up alongside true believers. But how will we know them? This is where Steve Gallagher is at his best. He exposes the prevailing self-centeredness, widespread sensuality, and rebellion to authority that epitomizes this false part of the Body.

Stop Working for Wages. Start Claiming Your Inheritance. Are you living as a servant trying to earn God's favor through the Law, or as a Joint-Heir resting in a finished inheritance? In a theological landscape dominated by commercialized fear and legalistic burdens, The Seed and the Inheritance presents a rigorous, devastating challenge to the two pillars of modern confusion: Dispensationalism and Sabbatarianism. Built exclusively on the King James Version of the Bible, this book acts as a legal brief, dismantling the "covenant of works" and re-establishing the believer’s standing on the ...

Straightforward, thorough, and grounded in biblical understanding, this book warns Christians about dangers that could potentially lead a believer to become an unbeliever (falling away from faith) and share in the unbeliever's eternal condemnation.

Faith Forward Gospel: 7 Myths That Brought Down the Church—and How We Can Build It Back Most of us were taught to share the gospel by starting with sin and ending with heaven. But Jesus didn’t. He started with good news—the Kingdom of God is here, available now, to anyone who believes. In Faith Forward Gospel, Randy Loubier challenges one of Christianity’s biggest misunderstandings: that evangelism begins with sin. Drawing from hundreds of scriptural references, Loubier reveals how Jesus and the apostles spoke to unbelievers—with compassion, not condemnation; with invitation, not ...

Far more happened to us on the cross than we realize! Righteousness: It’s so much more than a call to holy living or a theological notion. What you discover about this truth will alter your reality and revolutionize your walk with God.

I want to tell you what perhaps the greatest Christian who ever lived (the apostle Paul) thought of the cross of Christ. Believe me, the cross is of deepest importance. This is no mere question of controversy; this is not one of those points on which people may agree to differ and feel that differences will not shut them out of heaven. A person must be right on this subject, or he is lost forever. Heaven or hell, happiness or misery, life or death, blessing or cursing in the last day - all hinges on the answer to this question: What do you think about the cross of Christ?

We admire these men for their greatness, but the truth is Augustine grappled with sexual passions, Martin Luther struggled to control his tongue, and John Calvin fought the battle of faith with worldly weapons. Yet each of these men will always be remembered for the messages they declared - messages that still resound today. John Piper explores these men's lives, integrating Augustine's delight in God with Luther's emphasis on the Word and Calvin's exposition of scripture. Through their strengths and struggles, we can learn how to live better today.

In this fresh creative approach to theology, Elizabeth Johnson asks how we can understand cosmic redemption in a time of advancing ecological devastation. In effect, how can we extend the core Christian belief in salvation to include all created beings? Immediately this question runs into a formidable obstacle: the idea that Jesus's death on the cross was required as atonement for human sin-a theology laid out by the 11th-century theologian St. Anselm.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER *Featuring Max's comforting voice, this updated and expanded edition of 3:16 is the first full-length audiobook read by America's pastor, Max Lucado.* Sometimes life appears to fall to pieces and can seem irreparable. We’ve all had our fair share of disappointments...

The Christian life is a process of growing in holiness, our natural response to the good news of our redemption in Christ. This kind of growth is gradual, and obstacles are plentiful. Thankfully, we don't have to go it alone. God has given us his Spirit so that we can overcome temptation and become more and more conformed to the image of Christ. But how does the Spirit work? What is the nature of our own personal involvement in the process? And how do we know if we are making progress?

Meet a minister’s wife with only one day to live, a bride who is dying of appendicitis, a betrayed husband who is on his way to kill his wife, and a woman who is completely paralyzed. Through Smith Wigglesworth’s words and ministry, you will discover what happened in their lives, and what can take place in your own life.

What is the meaning of the Lord’s Supper? Jesus instituted the Supper to strengthen the faith of his followers by reminding them of his promises. More than an ancient church tradition or a complex doctrinal controversy, it has practical importance in the lives of Christians today. God has always made promises to his people through covenants, and along with them given signs and meals to point to and confirm his blessings. In this book, professor Guy Prentiss Waters defines and explores the unity of the covenants in the Old and New Testaments.

To possess “the light of life,” one must put faith in Jesus Christ and become his follower. On social media every day, millions of Christians are saying such things as “I am a Calvinist,” “I am an Arminian.” “I am a Lutheran,” “I am a Wesleyan,” and so on. They then debate and argue theology as though it is a blood sport. This author is not an Arminian, Calvinist, Wesleyan, Lutheran, Baptist, follower, disciple, or learner of any other denomination; Andrews is non-denominational. THE BIBLE'S ANSWER: EPHESIANS 1:4: Are Some Chosen (Predestined) to Eternal Salvation, and ...
