How is it possible that God is love when there is so much suffering in the world He created? If you’ve ever pondered that question, this book is a must-listen. After his youth ministry center in Denver was attacked and two of his staff murdered, Peter Warren began a relentless search for answers. This is his story. With amazing simplicity and yet profound insight, Peter brings clarity to questions we all have when tragedy strikes: Was this God’s will? Does he still love me? Why didn’t He prevent this from happening? This book will compel you to think through what you believe.

Many churches would like to start a counseling ministry, but they don’t know where to start. Mobilizing Church-Based Counseling offers direction to churches for creating a ministry built around lay-led counseling groups and mentoring. Based on proven models used in his own congregation, Brad Hambrick lays out a clear plan to launch a sustainable soul-care ministry that can be replicated in churches of any size.

THIS Sermon is published not simply in deference to the request of friends who heard it,—of one especially whose wish came with authority,—hut also because, so sanctioned, it may possibly help to draw attention to the real issue in the great controversy between the Catholic Church in its several branches on the one side, and the sects and schools, Ultra-Protestant or Rationalistic, on the other. That issue I take to be, Whether, believe it or not as men please, their standing as Christians be not indeed “on holy ground;” whether we be not indeed “under the cloud,” separated from...

“AND can there be any greater evil than discord and distraction and plurality where unity ought to reign? or any greater good than the bond of unity?” “There cannot.” “And there is unity where there is community of pleasures and pains — where all the citizens are glad or sorry on the same occasions?” “No doubt.” “Yes; and where there is no common but only private feeling, that disorganizes a state — when you have one-half of the world triumphing and the other sorrowing at the same events happening to the city and the citizens?” “Certainly.” “Such differences ...

Like Paul’s other early churches, Thessalonica experienced great societal pressure to conform to the surrounding culture. But amid persecution, the Thessalonians remained faithful to their call to holiness as they patiently awaited Jesus’s return. These epistles provide a positive and practical example of what Christians should believe and how they should behave today.

Propaganda Techniques are a powerful method to attack the Christian faith, but most Christians are totally ignorant about it. Using this method, even a biblically ignorant person can easily attack the Christian faith in a powerful manner. This is similar to the "throws" in judo where a weak and skinny person can easily throw a very strong and heavy opponent. The secret is in the "techniques" that he has taken time to master. "Techniques" of attack can be repelled only if you know how to do it. Propaganda techniques against the Christian faith can be repelled only if you know how they work ...

"WHAT does God do all day?" once asked a little boy. One could wish that more grown-up people would ask so very real a question. Unfortunately, most of us are not even boys in religious intelligence, but only very unthinking children. It no more occurs to us that God is engaged in any particular work in the world than it occurs to a little child that its father does anything except be its father. Its father may be a Cabinet Minister absorbed in the nation's work, or an inventor deep in schemes for the world's good; but to this master-egoist he is father, and nothing more. Childhood, whether...

“It is imperative for my people to make territorial gains.” The kingdom of God is not a utopia. It’s a reality that is part of a territory. It’s a harvest growing in the nations that will cover the whole earth. It’s the fruit of the apostolic expansion that God generates in the face of his enemies.After the success of his first book, Apostolic Centers, Alain Caron returns with a new guide that goes even further and helps the church to advance with a strategy of conquest that makes darkness tremble. In APOSTOLIC EXPANSION: The Kingdom War for Territorial Gains you will find: •The...

THE great topic of the Epiphany season is that of the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the Saviour of Men. During His life on earth that manifestation was made in wonderful, miraculous manner. A strange star guided wise men from the East to the manger bed at Bethlehem, there to find and worship the King of kings. A glorious transfiguration gave assurance of His Divine dignity to the inner circle of His. Apostles. In all His ministry, from Cana to Bethany, were constantly recurring miracles which proclaimed Him Son of God. These miracles, with their revelation of ...

In a world as divisive as ours, can Christians ever find middle ground on LGBTQ+ issues? Perhaps, if you’re willing to marry Biblical truths with grace and love in a nonjudgmental way that the extremes on both sides of the aisles have failed to do in the past. Peter DeHaan, a lifelong student of the Bible, does just that in THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH’S LGBTQ FAILURE. He won’t be politically correct, but he will be Biblically correct. And he certainly isn’t afraid to speak hard truths even if it makes people uncomfortable. His goal is to see Christians like you push past the status quo and...

Although the Lord Jesus Christ treated all His disciples with condescending and affectionate familiarity, yet some of them He distinguished with more marked attention, and with more intimate access to himself than the rest. On what ground this preference was manifested, it is not for us to inquire; it is sufficient that we are sure that all His actions were guided by perfect wisdom, and sprung from the purest motives. Of the whole number, John only had the appellation of ‘the disciple whom Jesus loved;’ and to him it was granted, not only to be present at those interesting scenes in our...

I can remember the time when the antagonism with which for more than three hundred years the vast majority of the English people had regarded the Church of Rome, was one of the most powerful elements of our national life. It controlled our theological controversies; it was appealed to with confidence by the chiefs of political parties; its influence was obvious in.our social intercourse. Roman Catholic priests were regarded with mingled distrust, contempt, and dread. The characteristic doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church were spoken of with intellectual scorn; the pretensions of the Pope...

I had a dream that announced a one-year transition for the Church. It is an invitation to pass from the earthly mountain to the heavenly mountain. Jesus says: Banish discouragement; banish worry; banish fatigue. They don’t come from Me. They came down like coats someone wanted to put on your shoulders. I grab them and tear them up. I take away that heaviness that has come to overwhelm you. I breathe a new breath of glory into your life. Rise up and start walking. You have lived long enough in that mountain where I once revealed Myself. Lift up your eyes and look at the heavenly mountain ...

Lack of vision and direction limits the modern church. Many Christians just go from fad to fad, with nothing followed through to completion. Many churches have to obtain a vision by copying other successful churches. The Bible says that without a vision the people will perish (Prov 29:18). A dearth of prophets has caused a lack of vision in the church. The church needs prophets to give a clear call to battle. It is currently losing the battle because it does not have a focused strategy. A great babble of voices all claim to have the truth and Christians are tossed around by every new wave ...

FAIRACRES PUBLICATIONS 216 The scholarly investigations and translations of Prof. Sebastian Brock have been largely responsible for bringing Saint Isaac of Nineveh, also known as Isaac the Syrian, to public attention. Isaac was a seventh-century Syriac Christian bishop and monastic author from Beth Qatraye in the region of Qatar. He is best known for his writings on Christian asceticism. This selection of Isaac’s prayers, taken from the three collections of his Discourses, is elegantly translated by Dr Brock into accessible English, bringing the thought and prayer of one of the great ...
