Spiritual Church

No one has ever been in a position to see the presidents, and the presidency, so intimately, over so many years. They called him in for photo opportunities. They called for comfort. They asked about death and salvation; about sin and forgiveness. At a time when the nation is increasingly split over the place of religion in public life, The Preacher and the Presidents reveals how the world's most powerful men and world's most famous evangelist, Billy Graham, knit faith and politics together.

Today we should obey God's marriage rules, more similar to God's marriage rules we see in the Old Testament, and have the sexual freedom God gave everyone at creation and that is reflected all over the Bible. These books explain all this in detail.

Who are you in Christ? When asked this question, most respond with terms like saved, a child of God, surrendered to Jesus, or just a Christian. While these are all good descriptors of our relationship with God, they are incomplete and misunderstood without the purchase of the soul called redemption. The apostles Jesus commissioned understood that they were slaves of Christ. They saw redemption as a literal purchase of their souls from the cruel master of sin.

When you ask people the question, you usually get many different answers. Some see God as an authoritarian leader or dictator, others see Him as aloof and distant. Still, others see Him as a father figure concerned with even the smallest details of their lives. Whatever your view of God may be, it matters. In God is For You, David Blunt explains that in order for God to do the good things He wants to do in your life, you must have the right perspective of Him.

After 30 years as a committed Christian, Pastor Bo Williams realized there were still theological knots to untie for him to gain greater levels of spiritual freedom. He shares his personal journey to understanding more deeply what Christ accomplished at the cross and how that impacts who we are as new creations. With vulnerability, Bo unpacks questions like, “Are we sinners saved by grace or saints who sometimes sin?” and, “Why do believers still struggle with sin?”

There are so many people who have lost faith in the church because their perception and understanding of what the church is has been skewed and tainted by the people who attend the particular church where they had a bad experience. The church is supposed to be the spiritual hospital where anyone can attend and feel welcomed. It is the place where one should be able to get spiritually recharged after a rough week. The place where you can come and are able to freely worship as you desire.

Studying the views and lifestyles of your forerunners in the faith can provide incredible guidance for how you live out your spiritual convictions today. In Wisdom from the Ancients, author and scholar Bryan Litfin paints a vivid portrait of the first five centuries of the Christian church, packed with fascinating history and applicable insights for modern believers.

Jesus and the Book of Acts are the standard of normal Christianity. Remember the fad a few years ago when people wore bracelets reminding them, "What Would Jesus Do?" Christians state that Jesus is the example of how to live, yet this has been limited in many cases to how we view our moral character.

In Reboot: Becoming a Passionate Follower of Jesus Christ, Justin uses the example of a computer and its systems to examine the inner workings of apathy in our lives and how to deal with it. The biblical book of 2 Peter will function as a guide as he examines the apostle Peter’s encouragements to the Christians of his day to leave behind apathy and become a passionate follower of Jesus Christ.

Growing the Church in the Power of the Holy Spirit is a highly practical guide for nurturing relations between believers and the Holy Spirit, a process facilitated by seven dynamics.

Forty years as a 4th generation member of a conservative Presbyterian "church family" didn't count for much when this author's wife had an affair and he sought council from his church shepherds. Robinson tithed his time, his talents, and his money, and church young people ate at his table at least once a week, but when he and his teenaged daughter went to their pastor and board of elders for help, they were branded as despicable liars and turned away. Eventually, even after the truth came out, they were still shown the door.

COULD GOD RAISE UP A MAN TODAY, as He did in the days of Noah, to warn the world that the Wrath of God is soon going to come upon the Earth? In a world full of lies and propaganda, has God called a man to be a voice of truth for Him in these last days; a Prophet that is actually hearing from God? That has actually seen Jesus? Is the end now coming? Is this the end of the world as we currently know it?

En este libro vemos la manera de cómo ser edificados y la manera de cómo edificar la iglesia. La manera de cómo ser edificados se refiere al hecho de que los creyentes seamos juntamente edificados, y la manera de cómo edificar la iglesia se refiere a nuestro servicio para la edificación de la iglesia.

Finalmente, nos presenta una comunión relacionada con el aspecto práctico en nuestra experiencia de la edificación genuina en la iglesia.

D. encourages reading the Bible with others and to put spiritual insights into action.

All throughout the modern period, there has been a steady campaign for people to "think for themselves" without tradition's distorting restraint. As a result, many Christians now blindly sip a watered-down faith, marketed as "no creed but the Bible." But, as Leonard Allen shows, we are always traditioning—even if one doesn't believe in tradition. And in this time of theological uncertainty and confusion, that process calls for new intentionality and seriousness. I
