Jesus is well aware of the games people play with spiritual things. He wants none to mistake what it means to be his follower. Many will claim to love him. Many will pretend to love him. Many will talk about loving him. Many will analyze what it means to love him. However, a Christian is distinguished and defined by one, and only one, thing: Obedience. Obedience to the Commands of Jesus is a daily, moment-by-moment choice. We make it over and over. We are continually making it. It is a progressive and ongoing choice that defines what it means to love Jesus and be his follower.

The Good Steward by Tim Russell and Roy Russell is a transformative guide inviting readers to rethink wealth as a means to worship, rather than as personal gain.

The biblical charges to "love your neighbor as yourself" and to "do to others as you would have them do to you" are at the heart of Abrahamic faith. DeCort argues that they are also at the heart of some of the most groundbreaking developments in human rights and the common good. Jesus taught neighbor-love and promised, "Do this and you will flourish." But Christians today are at high risk of ignoring or overthrowing the most daring teaching of Jesus' movement.

In 1948 the leaders of the Jewish people came before US President Harry S Truman and claimed that they had rights over the land of Palestine through the Biblical Deed. Based on that assumption the United States through the United Nations granted the Jews a state in Palestine. The book puts for a Biblical Old Testament Counterargument on behalf of the Palestinian People.

Many, including those who profess the Christian faith, don't have a thorough understanding of what Jesus taught on certain issues. Many seem to think that Christianity supports racism, condones slavery and the oppression of women. I wrote this book to shed light on the truth about what Jesus taught and delve into the issues that affect our society today as much as it did 2,000 years ago.

Gut zu sein in einem tieferen Sinn ist die beste Therapie gegen innere Leere, Antriebslosigkeit und Depression. Es hält jung und gesund. Andersherum rächen sich böse Taten nicht erst im nächsten Leben, sondern bereits in diesem. Faszinierende neue Studien aus der Medizin und der Biologie belegen das. Doch wie erschließen wir diese Kraftquelle für uns? Wie werden wir zu den guten Menschen, für die wir uns vielleicht schon halten? Und was heißt es eigentlich, gut zu sein?

The premise of this book is that learning to let go of anger—and ultimately forgiving the offender—will transform the foundation of every kind of relationship we have. Stanley defines anger as "a strong feeling of intense displeasure, hostility, or indignation as a result of a real or an...

Hyper-individualism and consumerism are failing to satisfy our hunger for meaning. We face an identity crisis in which real community is increasingly hard to find. The culture wars have been painful and polarizing and have proved a poor way to agree any kind of moral standards. Is it even possible to find a vision for goodness that can bring us together? Rumors of a Better Country addresses our hunger for justice and a better way of living by awakening our moral imagination to the potential of a trusting community.

Beyond Virtue Ethics offers a distinctive approach to virtue ethics, arguing not simply for the importance of "struggle" to virtue ethics, but that "struggle" itself is a manifestation of virtue. In doing this, Stephen M. Meawad offers a way of thinking about virtue not simply as a perfected state, but as a state that is to a greater or lesser degree a manifestation of the ideal itself, which is not attainable.

To the early Christians, hospitality was central to the gospel mission. This hospitality did not consist of entertaining neighbors, but welcoming the stranger, especially those who could not return the favor. Yet despite urgent need, hospitality has fallen by the wayside. Christine Pohl’s classic work, Making Room, first spoke to this issue in 1999. And it is just as relevant today, with the refugee crisis, the rise in homelessness, and growing loneliness and isolation.

Much-Afraid had been in the service of the Chief Shepherd, whose great flocks were pastured down in the Valley of Humiliation. She lived with her friends and fellow workers Mercy and Peace in a tranquil little white cottage in the village of Much-Trembling. She loved her work and desired intensely to please the Chief Shepherd, but happy as she was in most ways, she was conscious of several things which hindered her in her work and caused her much secret distress and shame.

For nearly 2000 years, virtually every Christian woman wore a headcovering during worship. Today, the practice has nearly disappeared. What happened? Dale Partridge walks Christians verse by verse through 1 Corinthians 11: 2-16 to help them understand the doctrine of headcoverings and how these biblical symbols visually preserve God’s design for men and women. But more than that, he demonstrates that when these visual symbols are eliminated from the church, society's definitions of men and women are forgotten.

In this practical and hopeful book, best-selling author Paul David Tripp shows us how to view and interact with money in a God-honoring way. Through chapters that expose the depths of our heart struggles and our need for grace, this book offers a roadmap to find peace, generosity, and joy in the world that God created.

Just Thinking About Ethnicity (JTAE), is a biblical response to the issues of "race" and social justice. JTAE is a culturally-relevant, theologically-rich exploration into what the Word of God says about such issues and how the evangelical church should respond to the unbiblical narratives associated with them. Given that every believer in Christ is an apologist (1 Pet. 3:15), JTAE is a valuable addition to your repository of apologetics resources.

Working in Vancouver's notorious downtown eastside to pay for her theological education at Regent College, Meera Bai Grover was faced with questions about whether or not providing people who use drugs with sterile supplies and a place to inject contravened her faith. She knew she wanted to care for people with addiction but did not know how to do so in a way that fit with her own moral code.
