Church Time

In Powerful Prayers for Troubled Times, Stormie Omartian challenges Christians to pray for the land we call home. In this audio, Stormie tackles genuine questions about praying for our country. She offers sample prayers you can use to pray for government and community leaders, the heroic men and women who protect us (police officers, firefighters, soldiers), and the welfare and healing of our nation. You will also find encouragement for today and hope for the future as you join with other believers and, as one people, offer up our country to God in prayer.

Eve has always loved antiques. She loves the way an item from the past can offer a glimpse of another world, of another time. It’s why she painstakingly researches the stories behind every item in Rainy Day Antiques, her little Cambridge shop, to share with their new owners. It’s her way of honouring the past and cherishing the present. Adam is firmly focussed on the future.

What's the point of the church anyway? The emerging generation is opting out of the church in large numbers. They're embarrassed at how the church is portrayed in the media and dismayed at what appears to be their options for participation. Is church really necessary anymore? Is it even possible? Tim Soerens sees this unsettled state of affairs as an extraordinary opportunity: The church, he says, is on the edge of a new possibility at the very moment so much of it feels like it's falling apart.

At last, Mitford's rector and lifelong bachelor Father Tim has married his talented and vivacious neighbor Cynthia. Now, of course, they must face love's challenges: new sleeping arrangements for Father Tim's sofa-sized dog, Cynthia's urge to decorate the rectory Italian-villa-style, and the growing pains of the thrown-away boy who's become like a son to the rector.

"Action thrillers are a fun genre as they're often page-turners, and The Forgotten Alphabet is definitely that. It's the 17th book in The Blackwell Files series, but it's the first one for me. Steven F. Freeman is such a talented author that he skillfully mentions critical parts of previous novels so the reader new to the series is not left behind. I loved every second of this book; the events are plausible, the flawed characters are all relatable, and the revelation of the mastermind shocked me. There's nothing to fault in this story—it's heart-racingly brilliant. I'm already a new fan ...

70 Times 7 is one of the most revolutionary books on eschatology in the last 20 years. Daniel's "70 Weeks Prophecy" is the foundation of most Christian end time understanding. But what if Christian culture's assumptions are mistaken and the "Prince who is to Come" ISN'T the Antichrist, the "Covenant with the Many" ISN'T a peace treaty, and a 360-day "prophetic year" ISN'T biblical. Instead what if the prophecy foretells a glorious and heroic future of the Church prior to the return of Jesus that no one is expecting!! Amazingly well researched and full of solid biblical exegesis, 70 Times 7 ...

From the first persecutions of the Jews in the fourth century to the horrors of the Holocaust, from Israel-bashing in today's press to anti-Semitism spouted from the pulpit, this painful book tells the tragic story that every Christian must listen to.

Sheriff Jacob Gannon manages grief over his son's suicide while keeping the peace in the town of Leadville. When an entire herd of cattle destroyed and a young settler girl dies, the two lawmen must join forces despite their differences to look into both...and how the two crimes just might be related.

Church - the central identifying word that encompasses the entire religious spectrum. It is the buildings we go to, the sectarian ideology we adhere to, it is the core of our spiritual identity. Church - the Body of Christ, the Bride of Christ, the called-out ones. Church - Evangelical, Pentecostal, Catholic, and Non-Denominational. Church - the guardian of doctrine, the ark for lost souls, the social bastion for the righteous. We have embraced and perpetuated a culture around this single word. A word never spoken by Jesus Christ. Church - a word that should have never existed for believers.

Active Shooter—a term recently coined that sends chills up the spines of principles, teachers, parents…and now pastors and parishioners. The FBI defines an active shooter as “an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area, typically through the use of firearms.” Active Killer is a more fitting term. What is the biblical approach to this threat? Christians are struggling with how to respond. Do we trust God and pray for his protection? Do we “turn the other cheek” and do nothing when someone threatens to kill us? Do we take...

According to Webster's dictionary a crisis is a “decisive moment or an unstable or crucial time or state of affairs” in history. It is fashionable to suggest the early 21st century is a time of crisis. We are told by our leadership that crisis is at every hand. Indeed, when crisis does not materialize as quickly or as violently as one might expect it seems civil leadership is not adverse to creating “crisis.” However, we are in the midst of crisis. The situation we face today is not economic, environmental, political or sociological. Instead, it is a crisis of leadership at the most...

Pope Benedict XVI affirmed the ongoing growth and perpetual validity of the Traditional Latin Mass, insisting that "what earlier generations held as sacred remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden, or even considered harmful". However, with the 2021 release of Traditionis Custodes, his successor has declared the opposite.

Most leaders start out with passion, a sense of calling, and a focus on building ministry skills. Such things might get some results, but they are not enough to sustain a healthy ministry - or a healthy life. Beyond the vocational capacities every church planter needs, there's a range of capabilities more difficult to measure but even more essential: What veteran church planter Tim Morey calls spiritual competencies. Morey provides here a practical guide to spiritual formation geared to the unique needs of church planters.

Christians today live in an unsettling reality that is defined by a steady cultural drift toward blatant immorality and disregard for the truth. The economic and social instability of the past couple of years—not to mention the fear and confusion brought on by the global pandemic—have only added to the atmosphere of uncertainty and anxiety. But Jackson has a message of hope to share: God's kingdom is unshakeable. If we take hold of the fundamental truths of the gospel and decipher the gathering storm clouds through the lens of Scripture, the church will be empowered to prevail.

The Bible knows nothing of an end of time. Men have invented the concept and moved much of the Bible’s teaching on eschatology down to that point. Although the Bible knows nothing of an end to time itself, the Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church bandies the term around quite a bit, applying it to the coming of Christ, the judgment, the destruction of the universe, the resurrection, and eternal conscious torment in hell, all at the end of time. Of course, if the Bible knows nothing of an end of time, it can’t possibly teach a coming of Christ, a destruction of our planet and stars, a ...
