Todd Wright takes listeners on an unforgettable journey back to simpler times in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, putting us smack in the middle of real-life experiences that are certain to make us examine our character and calibrate our moral compasses. He takes us to a place where parents, grandparents, teachers, and neighbors work together to teach self-leadership. He allows his listeners to smell the freshly plowed fields of his childhood, to feel the fear of facing a bully, or to sit on a hay wagon and listen to his grandfather’s cattle crunch happily on hay.

Turning the other cheek does not mean standing by while the enemies of God dismantle Christian civilization and brainwash our children. Decrying the cowardice that masquerades as meekness, Eric Metaxas summons the Church to battle. An attenuated and unbiblical “faith” based on what Bonhoeffer called “cheap grace” has sapped the spiritual vitality of millions of Americans. Paying lip service to an insipid “evangelism,” they shrink from combating the evils of our time. Metaxas refutes the pernicious lie that fighting evil politicizes Christianity.

Il existe plusieurs livres pour nous aider avec l’étude de la Bible, la prière, le service ou l’évangélisation, mais peu pour nous aider à chanter. Ce domaine mérite de recevoir autant d’attention ; il est même lié à l’épanouissement de ces autres sphères de notre vie spirituelle. Keith et Kristyn Getty présentent le chant comme un aspect vital de notre communion avec Dieu. Ils nous donnent des conseils bibliques, pratiques et centrés sur l’Évangile pour promouvoir le chant et l’adoration dans l’Église ainsi que dans notre vie personnelle et familiale.

Leadership is not what it used to be and not what it once was. Too many leaders today are calibrated for a world that no longer exists. And people are demanding something so much different in leaders of today. Like a new house outfitted with the greatest VHS system on the planet, too many...

Dans Redécouvrir l’Église locale, Collin Hansen et Jonathan Leeman expliquent pourquoi l’Église est essentielle pour les croyants et la mission de Dieu. À travers différents textes bibliques et plusieurs histoires personnelles, ils montrent aux lecteurs la véritable intention de Dieu pour les rassemblements d’Église : renforcer spirituellement les membres en tant qu’individus et en tant que corps du Christ. Redécouvrez pourquoi l’avenir de l’Église repose sur le rassemblement régulier des croyants en tant que famille de Dieu.

L’Église d’aujourd’hui a besoin d’un réveil. Comme l’affirme Paul Washer : « Nous ne pouvons pas simplement faire ce qui semble juste à nos yeux, puis nous attendre à ce que le Saint-Esprit vienne bénir nos efforts. » À vrai dire, le diable n’a guère besoin de s’opposer aux prières de l’Église pour un réveil, à moins que le peuple de Dieu ne cherche réellement à vivre et à diriger ses assemblées selon la Parole de Dieu. Ce livre examine dix domaines où l’Église d’aujourd’hui a négligé de suivre les directives bibliques.

This book brims with effective strategies for recruiting leaders, connecting members into groups, coaching groups for success, and giving people something to say yes to, even when they have rejected church-wide campaigns previously offered by their churches. Keys to effective, ongoing groups include leadership training, ongoing coaching, appropriate recordkeeping, as well as a sequence of aligned series rather than just a single occasional campaign.

Dans un monde où l'échec pastoral et l'épuisement professionnel sont de plus en plus fréquents, le pasteur John MacArthur a su faire preuve de fidélité dans son ministère. Qu'est-ce qui l'a maintenu sur la bonne voie, qui l'a protégé du découragement, de la fatigue et même de l'échec ? Il a été fortement influencé par l'apôtre Paul, qui a été fidèle jusqu'à la fin malgré la calomnie, la persécution et la souffrance.

Em A Era Contemporânea, chegamos a um período da história em que alguns decretaram o fim da religião. Este volume traz os escritos de cristãos que, na contramão desse contexto de declarada autonomia humana, deram vigorosos testemunhos de fé em Deus e dependência dele. Com A Era Contemporânea completamos nossa coleção Heróis da Igreja, na certeza de que ela continua sendo escrita pela vida de fiéis conhecidos e anônimos, até que Cristo venha.

Em Heróis da igreja - A Era Primitiva você conhecerá alguns dos pais da Igreja que viveram logo depois dos apóstolos e antes do primeiro concílio geral, em Niceia (325 d.C.). A fé que esses homens e mulheres expressaram e praticaram num ambiente amplamente pagão inspiram o cristão de hoje, que continua a ler seus escritos para devoção e estudo.

In Preacher & Prayer, Bounds explains that prayer is the key to deeper, more impactful sermons as well as a life that is more genuine and modeled after Christ. Focusing on anything else leads to superficial sermons, tainted intentions, and a weak understanding of God. E.M. Bounds cites great men of God and their emphasis on consistent and intentional prayer. A pastor’s prayer life should be always growing—gaining depth and knowledge in time spent with God.

The Ekklesia is rising all across the land, and the order and government of Yahweh are challenging historically entrenched prince devils and master spirits when and wherever they can. I hear the sound of a heavenly shofar blowing. It is not a reveille or retreat. It is a call to assembly. It is a call to action. For some, it is just a curiosity. For others, it is a summons. The closer they move to the sound...the more it becomes a voice...the closer they move to the voice...the more it becomes a word.
