The Reformation recovered grace: Now it's time to recover love. The Reformation recovered our reliance upon God’s grace--now we must realize the depth of His love. In this scholarly yet pastoral work, Dr. Kerr traces the roots of Augustinian-Calvinism and calls readers back to the early Christian vision of a God who created for love not glory, who “desires all people to be saved” (I Tim. 2:4), and who even allows human rejection. With clarity and conviction, From TULIP to ROSES explores creation, history, Scripture, and reason, showing how to rethink the interplay of human and divine ...

Before the gospels were written, there were proto-gospels, notes, lists, and collections used to construct the gospels we have today. Some gospels were used and built upon to form other, expanded gospels. The “Q” Document was used as a memory tool and literary scaffolding by Matthew and Luke in the writing of their gospels. Although many scholars believe Mark had access to the oldest parts of Q, others believe he did not. Since Mark predates Matthew and Luke, they believe Mark was used as a template for Matthew and Luke.

TODO LO QUE HAY EN DIOS ES DIOS MISMO Sin que muchos lo sepan, un número cada vez mayor de evangélicos conservadores niega los principios fundamentales de la enseñanza cristiana clásica sobre Dios, con graves desviaciones incluso entre los teólogos de la persuasión calvinista y reformada. El libro de James E. Dolezal Todo lo que hay en Dios ofrece una exposición de la posición cristiana histórica al tiempo que se enfrenta a estas graves desviaciones contemporáneas. Su convincente crítica de la nueva posición que él denomina mutualismo teísta es filosóficamente sólida, ...

The extremes to which the church and its leaders have gone in order to protect and justify various decisions regarding points of faith is fascinating, but tends to obscure the truth. Revisionist history, coercion, greed, lust, and propaganda were the order of the day when the major items of doctrine were being decided. In fact, many of those truths that we hold so dear in our Christian faith were decided, if not invented, through or because of political and financial aims, and not by theological insight. Many doctrines went well beyond what the early church held as truth.

What do a bishop from Alexandria and a monk in Damascus have in common? Everything—if you care about the foundations of Christian thought. Orthodox Foundations is two books in one—a compelling beginner’s guide to Cyril of Alexandria and John of Damascus, two towering figures who didn’t just defend Christian doctrine—they forged it in fire. They lived in different centuries. Faced different threats. Wrote in different styles. But both stood at the front lines of the Church’s greatest battles. They argued for truth when compromise was easier. They shaped ideas that still define ...

If there were such a job as the nation's pastor, Billy Graham would be the prime candidate.Having known more American presidents, foreign leaders, and famous people than any other American living or dead, he has been uniquely able to speak to the heart of the average person and bring peace and...

This text has been written to show the clear parallels between the children of Israel having been delivered from Egyptian bondage during the offering of the first Passover lamb and the possibility for deliverance from sin and the penalty of sin by the offering of the Passover Lamb, who is Jesus. It begins in the first two chapters by explaining how the children of Israel had become slaves in Egypt. It then shares the birth of Moses, a little bit about him and his life, and how the Lord had used him to bring the children of Israel out of their bondage. Starting in chapter five of this text, ...

Some have suggested that Jesus did not act like God the first 30 years of his life except for 2 times. HIs first miracle was performed as a fetus, when he came near the fetus of John the Baptist and caused him to jump for joy and his mom to be filled with the Holy Spirt. Then Jesus forgot he was God for 12 years until he performed a second miraculous 3-day teaching in the Temple. Of course this is absurd and it is not what the Gospel texts say in many older Bibles. We know the original New Testaments only allowed "Luke" as the Gospel, but all but a few of the dozen other Gospels were ...

This audiobook explains Jesus's two natures in a way relevant to the modern listener. It clearly describes the struggle to understand Jesus's two natures and points out inadequacies in the views of some church fathers who misinterpreted the meaning of Jesus's two natures. This book uses the affirmation of the Council of Chalcedon, AD 451, to explain Jesus's two natures and establish that Jesus is fully God and man. This book takes on a historical and theological stance.

The prospect of blending the authority of spiritual institutions with the machinery of secular governance has long sparked apprehension among historians, theologians, and political theorists alike. The concern arises not merely from abstract principle but from a tapestry of lived experience, woven through the centuries by communities that have tasted both the allure of joint power and the bitterness of its consequences. At the heart of this dilemma stands the persistent question of how a faith tradition, founded upon ideals of humility, service, and moral conviction, can maintain its ...

Advent to Epiphany is the first volume in the From Text to Sermon series designed to help pastors and their flocks better understand the rhythm and purpose of the Christian calendar. As Christians, we view time from a different perspective than the rest of the world. We may use the same seconds, minutes, hours, dates, and days, but we view the meaning and purpose of history and the future by considering God’s actions through the children of Abraham and through His only begotten Son, Jesus of Nazareth. Certain events in the Bible, though over two thousand years old, provide the key to ...

The title of this book is a misnomer. In reality, I am not trying to get anyone to shut up, but rather to provoke a discussion. This book is a warning about the philosophy of “Christian postmodernism” and the threat that it poses not only to Christian orthodoxy, but to the peace and prosperity our culture as well. The purpose is to equip the reader with some basic principles that can be used to refute their arguments. Part 1 is a response to some of the recent writings by Frank Schaeffer, the son of the late Francis Schaeffer. This was originally written as a defense against Frank’s ...

Subversion from the Beginning is the first book in a series that traces and exposes the unrelenting Satanic opposition to the Christian faith throughout this present evil age. Subversion is Satan's MO to continuously undermine and oppose the essential foundational truths of "the faith"—the Body of Apostolic Doctrine, primarily related to the person, provision and proclamation of Jesus Christ. An army of Satanically led subversives and worldly forces tirelessly labor to wreak havoc on these vital doctrines.
