Ministry Time

Prayer is the source of Jesus's most astonishing miracles and the subject of Jesus' most audacious promises, and yet, most people - even most Bible-believing Christians - find prayer to be boring, obligatory, disappointing, confusing, or, most often, all of the above. If you've ever felt this way, Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools is your invitation to trade your conceptions and misconceptions about prayer for prayer in its purest form: a vital, sustaining, powerful connection with God that is more real and alive than you could have ever imagined.

Are we living in the end-times? Is it possible the players depicted in the book of Revelation could be out in force today? And if they are, would you know how to recognize them? In Agents of the Apocalypse, noted prophecy expert Dr. David Jeremiah does what no prophecy expert has done before. He explores the book of Revelation through the lens of its major players—the exiled, the martyrs, the elders, the victor, the king, the judge, the 144,000, the witnesses, the false prophet, and the beast.

Five Smooth Stones is a book about ministry in the Church. It is a comparison of the ministry model as described in the scripture with the one most often in use today. Using the account of David slaying Goliath as an allegory, the five stones he retrieved from the stream represent the five-fold ministry mentioned in the book of Ephesians chapter 4. The need for members to be “built up” is considered, as well as how the stones represent the building process… in as much as the Hebrew word for stone means “to build”. Scripture declares that within the church there are to be five ...

Others are quite different. They are determined to let the fire of God blast through them in the midst of their frail...

God knows all things and there is nothing that is hidden from Him. Therefore, if the future is already in existence and is a settled reality then there is no doubt that God knows it exhaustively.

This truth is important to ...
