Throughout her nearly 40 years in ministry, Heidi Neumark has strived to make the communities she was part of sanctuaries amid the turmoils of life. Now, with the social and political upheaval of the years since Donald Trump was elected president, Neumark believes the true Christian calling is to live out a counterpoint to today’s prevailing spirits of exclusion and hatred. Using her own bilingual, multicultural congregation as a model, she moves through the seasons of the church calendar to reflect on what it looks like to live out essential Christian convictions.

As the modern era transitions into postmodern turbulence, we too find ourselves in serious times. There is a great movement of God that has been set loose in the world. In this book, James Emery White explores what it means to be in the front lines of what God is doing. It's about action. But more than that, it's about character and our connectedness with God. Come and discover a life of significance.

You shall be holy, for I am holy. (1 Peter 1:16) Can I stand Holy before God? The call to be holy is not optional although our lives often reflect that attitude. It is vital to understand your journey of sanctification. "Set Apart for God" is a study of holiness based on J.C. Ryle's book on holiness complete with discussion questions. These are important questions that a Christian must answer. What is the right knowledge of sin? Where does all sin originate? Do we realize the “amazing sinfulness of sin”? How does genuine Sanctification show itself? Why is holiness so important? How do ...

"LA HISTORIA SE REPITE PORQUE NADIE LA ESCUCHA" La influencia del posmodernismo nos ha hecho creer que el punto de tener un debate es tener un debate y luego estar de acuerdo en diferir (sentarse en una fiesta de amor de afirmación mutua). Para Trueman, el punto del debate es, como el Apóstol Pablo demuestra claramente una y otra vez en el libro de los Hechos, establecer cuál es la mejor posición. Esta colección de ensayos realiza un examen profundo del estado de la iglesia evangélica en la actualidad, y a diferencia de muchos de los debates actuales, ofrece, a la luz de las ...

The gloves come off in this electric exchange, originally hosted by Christianity Today, as leading atheist Christopher Hitchens (author of God Is Not Great) and Christian apologist Douglas Wilson (author of Letter from a Christian Citizen) go head-to-head on this divisive question. The result is entertaining and provocative—a glimpse into the ongoing debate.

In Theological Ethics: Audio Lectures, theologian, pastor, and ethicist W. Ross Hastings guides the church to think deeply and theologically about the moral formation of persons in our communities, about ethical inquiry and action, and about the tone and content of our engagement in the public square.

Kaatryn MacMorgan's principles of Eclecticism, and those of the UEW Tradition of Wicca, have long been studied by those outside of Wicca, and by Wiccans outside of UEW, as an alternative to the salad-bar take-whatever-you-like and damn the consequences spirituality offered by much of the New Age, Occult and Pagan community. This brief monograph serves as a handbook to the ethical practice of Eclecticism, regardless of the faith of the practitioner. To the UEWiccan, this material should be strikingly familiar, but to those outside that community, this book provides an opportunity to study ...

EL SIGLO XX NO FUE CLEMENTE CON LA TEOLOGÍA REFORMADA CLÁSICA Aunque los teólogos conservadores suelen culpar a los teólogos liberales de socavar las doctrinas protestantes tradicionales, los conservadores evangélicos más fervientes y los neoortodoxos también revisaron en gran medida varias doctrinas esenciales. Aunque Cornelius Van Til desarrolló la apologética presuposicional como un intento de permanecer fiel a la verdad cristiana intemporal, en el proceso sacrificó la comprensión universal y reformada del uso de la revelación natural en teología y apologética. "Las cosas ...

As a lady was throwing ashes on their frozen lake, her neighbor asked: “What are you doing?” “I am putting these ashes on the ice,” she replied. “Why don’t you get your husband to do that?” he enquired. “This is my husband!” she declared! More and more people are opting for cremation. There is little doubt that cremation has become more popular in the Western countries since the mid–twentieth century. There are now around 2,000 crematoria in the United States. Combined together they perform over one million cremations each year. Most hospitals use cremation to dispose of...

Loving Like Jesus addresses the serious image problem that now confronts the contemporary church. Put simply, the world doesn’t like us much anymore. Christians are largely perceived as being narrow-minded, judgmental and hypocritical. Loving Like Jesus is an urgent call for the church to recapture the love of Jesus as its central characteristic and proclaim the grace of Jesus as its core message. The book examines the radical nature of Jesus’ love and explores how Christians can walk the difficult tightrope of loving like Jesus without compromising truth. This is an urgent issue, ...

LA MANO DIVINA EN LOS DESAFÍOS DE LA VIDA Thomas Boston (1676-1732) fue un destacado teólogo y clérigo escocés.

We live in a world of endless contradictions. We rely on conventional wisdom to point us forward. But conventional wisdom gets it wrong more often than we imagine.

Take a guided tour beneath the surface of the world we live in through the lens of news stories, historical vignettes, folktales, the wonders of nature, and the discoveries of science.

How do you eliminate a half trillion annual expense in the US alone? How do you prevent capital offenses in the first place? God has the solution: we just don't like key parts of it. We shoot ourselves in the foot in order to think of ourselves as dignified and compassionate. Yet the responsibility of public stoning (with the rest of the Biblical model) is more dignified and compassionate than any alternative. Death is the most severe court judgment in the full range of Biblical justice tools, and so it deserves primary investigation.

A protocol is a formally or informally set of agreed upon steps about what is to be done and how is to be done in a given situation. They serve several functions. In medicine they establish standard procedures in the light of decades or even centuries of experience. In political meetings and discussions they establish parity between the two sides. In dangerous situations protocols keep people safe. People who advocate Moral Relativism directly and indirectly attack social and moral protocols because the protocols generally tend to preserve morality, whereas moral relativism can reign only ...
