We know that Jesus came to give us an abundant life (John 10:10). Yet many of us would describe our lives with words such as busy, stressed, anxious, or even overwhelmed. Despite how much we dislike the weight of such a frantic existence, we often carry on living with a gap between our experience and the fullness of life we know that Jesus offers. But it doesn't have to be this way. The Bible makes it clear that the position of victory is seated. Seated in Christ.

But will God so "bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ", that no wandering thought will find a place in the mind, even while we remain in the body? So some have vehemently maintained; yea, have affirmed that none are perfected in love unless they are so far perfected in understanding, that all wandering thoughts are done away; unless not only every affection and temper be holy and just and good, but every individual thought which arises in the mind be wise and regular.

If you preach God’s Word, you long to do so with the same scriptural philosophy and spiritual power that marked the preaching of the apostle Paul. In one brief New Testament passage, Paul explains the unique source of his power.

Unfortunately, many in the church in Corinth had embraced those secular standards, even causing serious division in the church.

“Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him.”— Col. iii. 17. All, probably, have felt at times a painful void, after they had been wholly taken up with some work of their calling or active duty. The soul has seemed to come to itself, and found itself empty and exhausted. What it has done, it has, according to its infirmity, done according to the will of God. At least, it does not, on examining itself, find anything, in any marked way, done contrary to the law and will of God. On the contrary, it has even been ...

All of Grace is C.H. Spurgeon's easy-to-understand presentation of salvation through Christ’s grace alone. Known as the “Prince of Preachers”, Spurgeon's messages transcended denominational lines. And they have also reached millions of spiritually hungry souls for generations since his death. We share Spurgeon's hopeful confidence that your listening of this book is but the first step on a path set before you by the Holy Spirit, leading back to Him. To that end, we have slightly modernized the text.

This book's combination of radical storytelling techniques and practical examples of how to carry them out in various ministry settings forges an exciting new path for the emerging church.

Charles Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, pastored the Metropolitan Tabernacle for 38 years, and spent many of those years in a state of powerful revival. Multitudes came from all over the world to hear him speak. His average Sunday morning services hosted up to six thousand people listening intently to the Word of the Lord. While it is fairly common today to see churches of thousands, in some places there seems to be one on every street corner, back in Spurgeon’s day, it was nothing short of miraculous.

In Fit for the Pulpit, a host of preachers dispense comfort and counsel to their brothers in the trenches, men who often work in ministerial isolation as they seek to build up the body of Christ. Chris McCurley, the editor of this volume, has assembled ten different writers to cover a wide swath of material. In eleven chapters, McCurley and his colleagues manage to cover many of the areas wherein preachers need continual encouragement.

Jesus used the phrase “weeping and gnashing” on five different occasions in the Bible. It is a prophetic warning about the pain, the anger, the sorrow, the regret, the remorse and the sense of loss that will be felt on getting into heaven without being ready for it. All those who end up weeping and gnashing their teeth would have missed out on the eternal rewards they could have had in heaven! They will miss the joy they could have had and they will miss the crowns of glory. Renowned author, Dag Heward-Mills in his usual unequivocal style, describes the frightening reality of how many ...
