Now Is the Time to Believe will connect you to something greater than yourselves through explaining how God has always loved us and shown mercy so that each generation is given an opportunity to learn and build a personal relationship with him. Now Is the Time to Believe provides each listener with a different approach to understanding who God is and why God loves us so much that he has continually extended mercy and grace to each of us so that we can reconnect with him and our divine purpose by grace through faith.

It Shouldn’t Be in the Church offers the listener an alternative approach to understanding the true value of what a church should look and feel like. It Shouldn’t be in the Church is not a book of "what ifs" or "why it isn’t something"; this book primarily focuses on finding ways to value and appreciate everything that is personal and true about the church so other believers can see Christ every time the doors open. The author takes a revelatory response to the intelligence of what the church is, while providing a practical way to finding the answers.

La pornografía es un tema tabú entre muchos cristianos hoy, especialmente entre las mujeres. Sin embargo, las mujeres pueden volverse y, de hecho, se vuelven esclavas a la pornografía.

Este minilibro redefine la pornografía en términos bíblicos y explora sus peligros. Aprende cómo la Biblia expone el corazón del problema y provee abundante esperanza de libertad.

Êtes-vous venus au Seigneur en pensant que tous vos problèmes seraient réglés? Vous ne vous êtes pas trompés, mais il faudra toutefois attendre la résurrection finale avant que tout soit parfait. Certaines circonstances peuvent amener les chrétiens dans la confusion et les ténèbres. Dans ce livre, Pascal Denault répond à plusieurs questions que nous nous posons au sujet de la marche chrétienne et se penche sur plusieurs souffrances spécifiques de l’âme qui minent notre relation avec Dieu, telles que le doute, la dépression et l’emprise du péché.

Nous n’avons pas été créés pour surmonter seuls les épreuves de la vie. Dieu nous a donné son Esprit et nos frères et sœurs pour nous aider. Cependant, nous avons souvent peur de nous immiscer dans les problèmes des autres. Nous nous sentons incompétents et nous préférons laisser cela à des experts et des spécialistes. Toutefois, l’aide qui peut être apportée par les amis est précieuse et elle ne doit pas être négligée. Dieu se plaît à nous voir grandir et à nous transformer grâce à l’aide d’individus ordinaires qui ont été transformés par Christ.

Jesus told people to sin no more. Rather than tell them the struggle with sin and Satan would be difficult, He said, "My yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Jesus doesn't ask us to do the impossible. Ken Gould rejected distorted teachings about God and was an atheist for 20 years, until God revealed his existence to him. Afterward, he recognized Christianity wasn't something to be taken lightly. His highest priority became to know God and understand his counsel.

Are you trapped by anger or constant irritation? Even if you think you have forgiven someone, latent anger is a sure sign you are suffering from an unresolved offense or abuse. And in an effort to protect yourself, you have likely hurt others as well. Managing anger will never get you to freedom. You have to address the root cause. Forgiveness is not necessarily reconciliation. Forgiveness is not magic, and healing is a process.

It's not your imagination, the world is changing drastically, and tens of millions of people are experiencing heart break, anxiety, depression, confusion, anger, and even hopelessness. The problem has become so bad that America now leads the entire world in anti-depressant use. But it doesn't have to be this way. No matter where you've been or where you are right now, there is a light that shines in the darkness that can and will give you strength, healing, wisdom, purpose, peace, joy, and unbreakable hope—IF you are willing to take the right steps and follow it to victory.

Most Christians are content just wearing their team colors and cheering from the sidelines. God did not call and equip you to be a casual fan; he called you to be in the game. To be in the game, you will need Godly grit. Godly grit is Holy Spirit-infused passion and perseverance. This book explores Godly grit elements, what prevents it from growing, and what can be done to replenish a lost supply. This book is not for someone satisfied with complacency. This book is for someone who sincerely desires to be a disciple of Jesus and reach a hurting world.

In the journey of life, we often find ourselves held back by our own limiting beliefs. These beliefs, rooted in fear, self-doubt, and negative self-talk, can hinder our progress and prevent us from living fully in the truth and freedom that God has called us to. As Christian believers and Christian life coaches, it is vital that we understand the power of these limiting beliefs and how they can impact our lives and the lives of those we serve.

Christianity and marijuana. This seems to have been a hazy subject for many years. Is smoking marijuana a sin? The answer is astonishing: Yes, they can and no, they don’t. But how can this be? See how Lucifer used the raw truth of scripture to craft a deadly lie. In Little Green Plant, Salaiz testifies to the truths concerning this subject, and the beautiful lie that has made a way for marijuana to subtly slide onto the throne in place of God, denying his power.

Outreach to those who struggle with same-sex attraction is severely lacking in most churches. As a result, most Christians learn more about homosexuality from movies, the internet, television, and so-called diversity training than they learn in their own congregations. Many people who struggle with same-sex attraction are torn by the debate while yearning to hear the redemptive truth of the Bible and be touched by the unyielding love of Christ. Author Bill Campbell believes that Christians can have a significant positive influence on how the larger culture frames the issue of same-sex attraction. He combines twenty years of study with current surveys and research by national leaders of ministries to homosexuals.

Worldviews Apart: Christianity and Psychology identifies contemporary issues that reveal a gap between the beliefs and values of major segments of Christianity and the profession of psychology. Different interpretations of biblical texts suggest possibilities for integration. This publication is based on a revised and expanded chapter of Eve, A Serpent, and A Woman’s Place (Sutton, 2025) and is part of a series of works exploring the gaps between faith and psychology as well as ways some have found to bridge the gaps between the two worldviews.

If there was a fight going on, Jeremiah was at the center of it. If there was someone his gang needed to be taken out, he was ready to be a part of it. His life was getting worse and worse, and soon he became addicted to the same drugs that he was selling. After making sure that the bullet was in place this time, Johnny re-pointed the gun to the back of Luke’s head and pulled the trigger. The recoil of the gun sounded like a cannon. Blood was everywhere. Luke’s body went limp and Johnny casually walked away to reclaim the prize he thought a man’s life was worth.

“Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” - Matthew 18:3-4 (NIV). In Living Free, like You're 3!, Alicia V. Sharpe uses these words from Jesus in Matthew to relate the freedom that three-year-olds experience to the freedom we adults could live out if we simply held an attitude that resembles young children.
