Esta circunstancia no es achacable a ellos mismos, la causa hay que buscarla más bien en una labor incompleta y deficiente por parte del pastor o supervisor general.

Mucha gente piensa en Dios solo en términos de Su amor. Pero la Biblia habla de la santidad de Dios más que de cualquier otro atributo. ¿Qué significa cuando los ángeles declaran que Dios es «Santo, Santo, Santo»? Y siendo personas pecadoras, ¿cómo es que podemos entrar en Su presencia?...

New Life in Christ is a multivolume anthology of the writings and sermons written and presented by Dr. Strem during his many years in pastoral ministry. These volumes present the breadth of Christian theology in a personal and informal manner that serves to address the application of Christian faith in daily life. Written during a time when there is a great need for discipleship in the community of Christian faith, Dr. Strem addresses that need by organizing the material in a manner that may be used both as a reference text on theology and for instruction in Christian living.

Like a succession of failed diet regimens, the much-touted techniques that are supposed to bring us closer to God "in our hearts" can instead make us feel anxious, frustrated, and overwhelmed. Phillip Cary explains that discipleship is a gradual, long-term process that comes through the gospel experienced in Christian community, not a to-do list designed to help us live the Christian life "right." He covers ten things we don't have to do to be close to God, skillfully unpacking the riches of traditional Christian spirituality. The expanded edition includes a new afterword.

Have you ever wondered why the subjects of giving and material stewardship cause so much controversy in the Church? Do you ever struggle with questions like: To whom should I give?

It explores what the Bible, particularly the New Testament, teaches about Christian giving from a stewardship perspective.

However, the same people hardly consider themselves "kings", even though the Bible calls us "kings" before we are called “priests"! Awaken the King in You focuses on changing this paradigm by reexamining the scriptures that emphasize our "kingly" role. It paints a picture of what our lives could look like once we embrace this new thinking. Join me on this journey of self-discovery as we unpack the truth of who you are—a king before a priest!

Thinking like Jesus fosters a change in the 21st-century virgin’s mindset as a bride of Christ living life with purpose. This type of thinking empowers followers to see themselves as the beloved bride of Christ and no longer as virgins, knowing that their purpose has set them apart from others. The mindset of the 21st-century virgin often gets stuck at the altar of salvation. They find it very challenging to transform and be changed into a new creature in Christ Jesus. But they can share the same thought process as Jesus, and the kingdom of God and its righteousness is theirs.
