In this book, eight brief scenarios about nine imaginary people will be presented. Even though the people will not have been modeled after anyone in particular, their intent will be to mirror what many people in this world consider the important issues of this life. The point that will be made with each scenario, however, is that every person, no matter what, will someday die. So if there is an afterlife and if that afterlife lasts forever, then rational, intelligent human beings to be rational and intelligent should be at least a little concerned about that life after death. While the ...

Les cinq points du calvinisme décrivent comment les chrétiens sont sauvés et pourquoi ils sont préservés éternellement. Cette doctrine nous ramène au temps où nous avons été librement choisis. Elle sonde les mystères de l’œuvre de Christ, qui a acquis pour tous les enfants de Dieu le don de la foi. Elle pénètre l’âme humaine, lui permettant d’entrevoir les mystères de l’œuvre accomplie par l’Esprit, alors qu’il obtient la victoire complète sur notre rébellion et fait de nous les captifs volontaires de Jésus, le Roi.

Il est fréquent d’entendre les gens parler de santé, de richesse et de prospérité comme étant des signes de la bénédiction de Dieu. Cependant, Jésus a dit que ce sont les pauvres, les persécutés et les personnes qui souffrent qui sont bénis. Dans ce petit livre, R. C. Sproul examine une section bien appréciée du Nouveau Testament appelée les « béatitudes ». Il utilise les célèbres paroles prononcées par Jésus au début du sermon sur la montagne pour expliquer que la vraie bénédiction n’est possible qu’en saisissant la grâce de Dieu en Jésus-Christ.

The concept of wisdom has long fascinated human beings. Across different cultures, people have sought to define and apply wisdom in their quest for understanding and meaning. In ancient Greece, wisdom was prized above all other virtues, and philosophers such as Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle made significant contributions to how wisdom was perceived and pursued. This intellectual heritage greatly influenced the mindset of the world, including the culture that surrounded the early church, as seen in the context of 1 Corinthians. However, there is a striking contrast presented in the writings...

The Holy Spirit is not merely an impersonal force or an abstract concept but the third person of the Trinity, fully and truly God. Scripture consistently reveals the Holy Spirit’s divine attributes, His role in creation, salvation, and sanctification, and His identification as God. Understanding the Holy Spirit as God is foundational to the Christian faith, and the biblical evidence is clear: the Holy Spirit is to be worshipped, honored, and revered as the true and living God. One

Water baptism is a foundational practice in the Christian faith, deeply rooted in the teachings of the New Testament and the tradition of the early Church. It is more than a mere ritual; it is a profound spiritual act that signifies a believer's identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Water baptism holds a vital place in the life of a believer. The Scriptures emphasizes the multifaceted significance of baptism, highlighting its role in the believer's spiritual journey, their relationship with Christ, and their integration into the body of believers. Water ...

The mercy seat, as depicted in the Scriptures, holds a central place in the worship of the Israelites and remains a profound symbol for understanding the relationship between God and humanity. In the construction of the Tabernacle, the mercy seat was placed atop the Ark of the Covenant, a golden cover over the sacred chest containing the tablets of the Law, Aaron’s rod, and a pot of manna. This position signifies its importance, both as a physical object in the worship of Israel and as a spiritual symbol pointing to the divine nature of God’s interaction with His people.

Étant douloureusement conscientes de leurs péchés et confrontées fréquemment aux avertissements bibliques concernant ceux qui s’éloignent de la foi, certaines personnes peuvent être tentées de croire qu’elles ont perdu leur salut. Dans ce petit livre, R. C. Sproul examine les Écritures afin de déterminer s’il est possible pour un vrai chrétien de s’éloigner de la foi. Il aborde des sujets tels que le péché impardonnable, les fausses conversions, ainsi que la présence du péché dans la vie des croyants.

In this present age, God’s judgment manifests in various forms of correction and discipline. These are intended to address sin, foster repentance, and encourage holiness among His people. The New Testament provides numerous examples of this corrective judgment. One of the most striking examples is found in the account of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5. This couple lied to the Holy Spirit about the proceeds of a land sale, and as a result, they were struck dead. This severe judgment served as a powerful warning to the early Church about the seriousness of sin within the body of Christ. It ...

In his Ecclesial Being Professor Constantine Scouteris focuses most ably on the mystery of the human person in the context of the conciliarity of the Church. His vision of the unity of the Orthodox churches, based on the Pauline theme of the New Israel, embraces all Orthodox Christian peoples - wonderfully diverse in language and culture - as one nation in Christ, which the entire world is invited to join.

Delve into a verse by verse study of the book of Romans from a prophetic perspective. An expositional study (verse by verse, chapter by chapter) of the book of Romans gives the reader access to a level of narrative and inspiration than the more common topical study. In studying the scriptures in this way, we rely not only on scholarship but on the precious commodity of the anointing from a prophetic perspective. This resource will serve you well as a devotional tool that will deepen your love of God's word and draw you out into the rarified atmosphere of revelatory study of the scripture.

At the heart of the Christian understanding of grace is the life and work of Jesus Christ. The incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus are the ultimate manifestations of God's grace. Jesus’ sacrificial death on the cross paid the penalty for sin, making it possible for humanity to be reconciled with God. This act of grace is described as a substitutionary atonement, where Jesus took upon Himself the punishment that was due to sinners, thereby satisfying the demands of divine justice and demonstrating the depths of God's love. The resurrection of Jesus is also a testament to ...

Our Great Salvation is an excellent study of soteriology—the doctrine of salvation—written as discipleship materials for small groups or beginning Bible school classes. It is the ninth book in the discipleship series, “Teach Me Your Paths.” There are helpful study questions at the end of each lesson. The salvation story starts at the creation of Adam and Eve, and then moves to the terrible tragedy of the Fall, when sin and Satan entered the Garden. Yet even in those tragic hours God made a promise that the Seed of the woman (Jesus Christ) would bruise the head of the serpent. That ...

"There is probably no more enjoyable treatise for a believer to write in a book on doctrine than the one that describes our salvation, its nature, and how we can be saved." This is how Mr. Clay begins this except from his book, Solid Ground. Mr. Clay addresses the question "How can you be saved?" along with " What might prevent you from being saved?" With great pleasure springing from a faith that has lasted for over 50 years, Mr. Clay explores how we are saved, and with great sorrow he explains what prevents people from being saved. If you are believer, this title will provide you with a ...

I am excited! There are few subjects that get debated as often as does that of repentance. Christians, even those who claim to be of like faith and practice (I mean independent, fundamental Baptists) split hairs and churches over it. The word repentance, in one form or the other, is found one hundred twelve times in the Bible. That’s plenty of material to discover what God has to say on the subject. This book is an attempt to do just that. If you are looking for me to give you all the answers on the doctrine of repentance, I am afraid you will be disappointed. I have my opinions, ...

This book is about salvation by God’s grace. If you were to ask the average Christian if he believed in salvation by grace, most would respond with an emphatic, “Yes.” I know, because I have asked people from many Christian faiths, and each response has been in the affirmative. Why wouldn’t it be?
