Why does church government matter? In this book, Guy Prentiss Waters offers a brief and accessible introduction to Presbyterianism that shows how a well-ordered church fosters Christian lives lived well. In making the case that church government is critical to Christian discipleship, Waters presents an overview of the nature of the church (the body and its member) and its structures of authority (officers, assemblies, and ordination). He concludes by answering common questions people raise about church government.

Watered-down messages and spiritual "fast food" fail to feed the hunger of those who truly seek the heart of God. What Christians need, according to David Wilkerson, is a confrontational message that will provoke them to righteousness-the message that Jesus alone can satisfy the hunger. Hungry for More of Jesus issues a passionate call to a deep walk of daily discipleship.

Mark Young believes a revitalization of the evangelical movement must happen in our seminaries, where the shepherds of the next evangelicalism are being formed. Young argues that if these leaders of tomorrow are instilled with true gospel values, they will go on to form churches and missional organizations that offer a credible and compelling Christlike witness for the sake of the world. The Hope of the Gospel takes listeners through the history of evangelicalism and back to the present to make the case for how this can happen through a renewed vision of theological education.

"True Christianity is a fight," wrote J. C. Ryle in 1877. He argued that from the day of their conversion until the day they die, Christians are called to be soldiers for Christ in a war for their holiness. This inspiring call to action written more than 100 years ago continues to be a source of great encouragement and inspiration for believers today.

Biblical discipleship emphasizes encouragement, repentance, and spiritual growth—essential parts of the Christian life. However, well-meaning believers often struggle to follow Jesus, unaware their views are too legalistic, licentious, or individualistic. How can churches and Christians develop a healthy, successful path to disciple-making? In this second edition of Gospel-Centered Discipleship, Jonathan Dodson presents an effective, Spirit-led model for sanctification.

There is a great need today to clarify the enormous difference between accumulating religious information and baggage, and embracing a long-term commitment to deeply knowing, and following Jesus Christ. Jesus Changes Everything brilliantly illuminates the person and principles of Jesus, and His clarion call to each person to follow Him as a daily lifestyle. More than ever, there is a need to clarify the difference between doing Christian service (working for God), and making a radical commitment to knowing His Son (working with God).

"What is at stake is authenticity. . . . Sooner or later Christians tire of public meetings that are profoundly inauthentic, regardless of how well (or poorly) arranged, directed, performed. We long to meet, corporately, with the living and majestic God and to offer him the praise that is his...

For far too long, the church has tried to make disciples using a one-size-fits-all approach. Some churches advocate 1-on-1 discipling, others try getting everyone into a small group, while still others training through mission trips or service projects. Yet others focus all their efforts on...

When the carnage of war broke out on D-Day, the wounded were brought to an empty nearby church and laid on the pews so medics could treat them. When the war was over, and the blood-stained pews discovered, the townspeople decided to preserve the stains to remind all who would come afterward: This is the place where the wounded are welcome. Blood Stained Pews is a chance to examine Jesus’ original intent for the church, a hospital for the broken. Pastor and author Carl Kuhl is clear: Christians have been getting this wrong.

"I don't care for vocational books written in the United States; they're too American." When Susan Maros heard this comment from a Malaysian colleague, she was initially taken aback. Isn't the concept of calling universal? Why wouldn't resources with a biblical perspective on vocation apply to everyone? The reality is that each of us encounters our questions of calling from within a particular context.

Most people, especially women, know firsthand the battle of feeling not enough. Or too much. And sometimes both at the same time. The battle to feel good enough is real and constant.

The real lie is that you have to be enough, that you have to make yourself be enough. The truth is that God is enough. Join author Tamyra Horst as she leads you on a journey to discover God in your "not enoughness".

We are wired for greatness. We pursue it. We chase after it. We climb ladders and run races. But what if we are running the wrong direction? How is greatness defined as a worship leader? Is it the one with the best voice or the biggest stage, the one with the most followers or songs on the charts? The Christian music industry has set the standard for the way many of us define greatness in worship ministry. We take cues from the leaders with the most followers. We sing their songs and aspire to be like them.

Louie Giglio came to my house in 1997, and we sat down at my dining room table. We did not know each other, and he had heard and read some things. He said, ‘I am looking for a person whose whole message revolves around the glory of God in Christ, and you seem to me to be one of those.’

Every Christian has experienced days or even seasons of feeling extreme guilt over past or present sins, thinking that God is angry or disgusted with them—sometimes even wondering if they're truly saved. This often happens when believers fixate on their sins while forgetting what Christ has already done on their behalf at the cross. Sam Storms explains it this way: "What consumes us is what we have done by sinning. What ought to consume us is grateful meditation on what God has done with our sinning."

On an average day, people make countless decisions: Should I get out of bed or hit the snooze button? What should I have for breakfast? Where should we go for this year's vacation? While some decisions are easy to make, others can leave individuals paralyzed and full of anxiety.

Writing from her own experience and pointing to biblical examples, Aimee Joseph offers a biblical and theological framework for decision-making.

These ancient words offer a guide for modern Christians wrestling with their privileged place in an unequal and unjust world. The Kenosis Hymn (as this passage quoted by the apostle Paul is known) celebrates Jesus for his willingness to forego the divine glory that he is due, instead humbling himself to serve the oppressed and outcast of his society.

In this fourth Biblical Foundation book we look at the final three of the six foundational doctrines of the Christian faith found in Hebrews 6:1-2 - the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment: Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment (NKJ).

This audiobook could be for you a great source of restoration and renewed zeal. The Lord Jesus Christ calls all who receive him as their lord and saviour into ''the disciple's life". Those who commit themselves to it must submit to the demands and conditions of such a life. At a certain point in the walk with God, it is necessary to examine yourself to see if you are still on this path, for it is a narrow and difficult path that requires a price to pay.
