Only man bears His Image. History's Original Tragedy—The First Deception—began with Eve's neglect of this truth. By her willingness to engage in dialogue with a "Nonhuman Intelligence" (a fallen angel feigning benevolence and assuming the disguise of an incarnate rational creature), the Fall of Man was precipitated. Today, the Last Deception is arising in the same manner.

Each day, it seems another Christian institution or leader breaks our trust, raising questions about whether faith is an asset or a liability for living today.

La sainteté est au centre du caractère de Dieu. Pourtant, la plupart des gens ont du mal à définir ce qu'est précisément la sainteté de Dieu. Beaucoup de prédicateurs aujourd'hui évitent complètement ce sujet parce que les gens ont de la difficulté à bien saisir certains concepts qui y sont reliés, comme celui de la crainte de Dieu. Cependant, la compréhension de la sainteté de Dieu est primordiale, car elle nous délivre de notre propension à nous confier en nous-mêmes et en notre propre justice pour le salut de notre âme.

Jonathan Edwards lived from 1703-1758, and was used by God in the American Great Awakening. He is often referred to as America’s greatest theologian. This sermon was preached to encourage every person to make every effort to get into the kingdom of God—that none should be left out. Edwards opened the sermon by defining “pressing into” the kingdom, explaining why every one should earnestly seek it. He reminded the hearers that, by nature, all are in a perishing necessity of salvation, utterly lost when outside the kingdom.

Em Paulo x Tiago: Como conciliar suas (aparentes) diferenças no debate sobre fé e obras, Chris Bruno apresenta um estudo abrangente para o leitor que deseja identificar, interpretar e explicar pontos de aparente contradição no texto bíblico. O livro, além de ser uma excelente fonte de lições práticas da vida cristã, é um manual de apologética e um recurso para o estudo teológico.

A leitura individualista e fragmentada do texto bíblico tem impedido aos cristãos uma compreensão mais abrangente de sua fé e de seu papel como cidadãos do reino. Além disso, reduzir a experiência religiosa a um mero carimbo no passaporte para o céu desvia o foco do fato de que o interesse de Deus não se resume apenas ao indivíduo, mas abrange toda a criação. Nesse sentido, Bernardo Cho convida o leitor e a leitora a refletirem sobre o todo das Escrituras, a fim de perceberem a unidade presente no enredo da salvação.

A Confession is a beautiful and thorough dive into that timeless question, “What is the meaning of life?”. After fifty-one years of life and during the height of his fame, Tolstoy began to question everything. Through a creative and insightful analogy, Tolstoy depicts the crisis of reality that emerges when one questions the existence of God. An existence that he had been taught since childhood and had followed along with his whole life. He uses deduction and logic, rationality and reason, then allows for emotions and reactions and is ultimately able to land on the answers to his questions.

This is a teaching on the seven major times God made a covenant in the bible, and the fact that the fire of God was there every time.

Since Blake Healy was a child, he has seen angels, demons, and other spiritual realities. He sees them with the naked eye as clearly as anything else. In his latest book, he gives listeners a peek behind the veil as he shows them how the physical and spiritual realms connect. Known for his rich storytelling and vivid descriptions, Healy takes listeners on a journey through everyday events—a trip to a grocery store, a family dinner, a busy workday—and helps them see how what is happening in the spirit is affected by the way we live our daily lives.

Drawing on the records of national and regional archives as well as archaeological remains, James Clark explores the little-known lives of the last men and women who lived in England's monasteries before the Reformation. Clark challenges received wisdom, showing that buildings were not immediately demolished and Henry VIII's subjects were so attached to the religious houses that they kept fixtures and fittings as souvenirs. This rich, vivid history brings back into focus the prominent place of abbeys, priories, and friaries in the lives of the English people.

People are hungry for hope. They want to understand our human condition—its origin, nature, purpose, and destiny. The Christian faith offers hope for individuals and the entire universe, grounded in absolute truth. But how can we know that Christianity is true? And how can Christians confidently present their beliefs in the face of doubts and competing views? In this comprehensive text, Douglas Groothuis makes a clear and rigorous case for Christian theism.

What does a balanced, Christian view of what it means to be "pro-life" really look like?

When it comes to the Sabbath, Christians have different ideas on what it means and how to observe it. For many people, it is a day to go to church and have fellowship with other believers. What they often miss, though, is that the Sabbath is intricately tied to rest and worship―both of which ultimately point to the Lord as our creator and redeemer. In this addition to the Short Studies in Biblical Theology series, Guy Prentiss Waters offers an introductory study of the Sabbath from the creation of the world to the consummation of all things when Jesus returns.

Richard Baxter (1615–1691) preached “as a dying man to dying men.” He was devoted to God and was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. Best known as the minister of Kidderminster in England, his love for God and others resulted in practically the entire town of Kidderminster turning to Jesus during Baxter’s ministry there.
