New Life Church

My six decades on this earth have left me, thus far, yearning to share God's goodness to all. I wanted to leave the chapters of my youth with gratitude for all he has seen me through, with a declaration of love to the Lord for the truths he has revealed to my heart. I pray for a generation I may not live long enough to share them with, in hopes that my legacy continues to bring forth brave, loving, and God-fearing people, who continue to bring good fruit to a fallen world.

The object of this little book is to help those who are beginning the Christian life. It contains merely a few suggestions and counsels by an older brother who has gone a little farther on the way, who has experienced some of the difficulties and dangers and learned a little of the help Christ is ready to give to those who will accept it.

Empowered by the Brand New Congress initiative in 2018, evangelical pastor and progressive Republican Robb Ryerse embarked on a long-shot, grassroots congressional campaign. After he ultimately lost his race, Ryerse worked with the Vote Common Good campaign, traveling across the United States to help turn Congress blue. Throughout his political journey, Ryerse gained new insights on the relationship between religion and politics in America today, the dynamics of our deep partisan divide, and the power of faithful people working for the common good.

Steven R. Mitchell, the author of “God Help Me!” and a Vietnam war veteran himself, possesses a remarkable life story that is as compelling as the novels he writes. Born and raised in a small town, Mitchell grew up with a strong sense of patriotism and a deep admiration for those who served their country. Inspired by these values, he enlisted in the military at a young age, embarking on a journey that would forever shape his life.

When her best friend lucks up and marries an NFL superstar, college senior Racquel Spencer sets out on a mission to find and wed a Mr. Money Bags of her own.

But she will learn that even the best laid plans have a tendency to backfire, and they will inadvertently explode in her M.A.C. powdered face. 18-year old Harmony Eubanks feels that college is a waste of time and just wants to become Houston's next R&B singing sensation. But when an opportunity at a life of stardom presents itself she will find that it also ...

BELOVED FRIENDS AND BRETHREN, I cannot reach your hearts, I know well. It is not in me,—it needs the finger of God. But I can set before you my earnest wishes for every class among you, and I will do it, the Lord being my helper. Bear with me if I say things that sound sharp and hard. Set it down to my anxiety for your salvation;—I mean it all for your good. I write none other things but what I have gathered from the Bible, and as such I commend them to your consciences. Consider what I say, and the Lord give you understanding in all things. I grant you may be quick and clever about the...

GOD wants our lives to be bright. He wants them to shine like lamps in the darkness. The world needs nothing so much as light — not light blazing in the far-off sky, but light pouring out softly, low down, close to the earth, from human lives which have been kindled at the heart of God. The aim of the gospel of Christ is to make human lives bright with the brightness of God's own holiness. There is a word in one of St. Paul's letters which puts this truth in the form of an exhortation. "Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind." The word "transformed" suggests a change from dulness ...

THE title of this tract is an Apostolic caution against false doctrine. It forms part of a warning which St. Paul addressed to Hebrew Christians. It is a caution just as much needed now as it was eighteen hundred years ago. Never, I think, was it so important for Christian ministers to cry aloud continually, “Be not carried about.” That old enemy of mankind, the devil, has no more subtle device for ruining souls than that of spreading false doctrine. “A murderer and a liar from the beginning,” he never ceases going to and fro in the earth, seeking whom he may devour. Outside the ...

This book is for parents or carers, those with faith or no faith, to share with their children. This is the second book in the series. The first was about how Nathaniel's parents, Michelle and Jason, prayed for a son. That book ended with a celebration after Nathaniel was dedicated to God on his first visit to church. This book picks up the theme of the dedication and then journeys with the parents through Nathaniel's first year in church. It looks at how his parents manage the transition from a couple to a family with a young baby in church.

In a day of religious controversy, no one is so useful to his generation as the man who contributes a little “light.” Amidst the din and strife of ecclesiastical warfare, amidst the fog and dust stirred up by excited disputants, amidst assertions and counter-assertions, a thinking man will often cry with the dying philosopher,—“I want more light: give me more light.” He that can make two ears of corn grow where one grew before, has been rightly called a benefactor to mankind. He that can throw a few rays of fresh light on the theological questions of the day, is surely doing a ...

I do not know into whose hands this tract may fall. But I know there is no living soul, who ought not to feel an interest in its subject. Young men or maidens, old men or children, married or single, gentle or simple, listen to a question;—Shall you be saved? Reader, I entreat you in all affection, to examine the question I put before you. I address you as a dying creature,—an immortal creature,—a creature going to be judged before the bar of God. As ever you would die in peace, rise again with hope, be acquitted in the day of judgment, and live for ever in glory,—give me a hearing ...
