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.

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. Al presentar esto, Witness Lee primero habla respecto a la necesidad de tener una visión. Luego, considera el tipo del tabernáculo del Antiguo Testamento. Finalmente, nos presenta una comunión relacionada con el aspecto práctico en nuestra experiencia de la edificación genuina en la iglesia.

We don't have to settle for dull, boring routine Christianity. We can keep on going and growing with God every day of our life. No more monotony. No more frustration. No more playing church. The real thing. We get there by staying hungry.

WALKING IN LOVE. Nobody did it better than Jesus. Love ultimately led Him to the point of laying down His very own life for the sake of others. He set aside His personal preferences. He overlooked the wrongs He suffered. He was quick to forgive and quick to to restore. He prayed for those who despitefully used Him. And what a difference He made because of that. Multiplied millions of lives have been changed because this one Man dared to obey God and walk the Love Walk.

Peter made all the classical, Christian mistakes. He spoke before thinking, lacked faith, and even denied the Lord Jesus Christ. But Peter had a moldable, open heart, and the Lord knew it. All the mistakes Peter made helped him understand what other Christians face, and his writings both warn and encourage readers today. Too many of today’s religious entities and Christian individuals are functioning on spiritual autopilot, rarely pausing to pray in earnest and seek the Lord’s will for their lives.

In The Bible, God uses many ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Moses didn’t think he was a leader when God chose him; people laughed at Noah for building that ark for so many years; Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers only to rise to second-in-command of all of Egypt.

The world’s racial wounds seem as deep and as ugly as ever. Is there really any hope? The answer is yes, absolutely. In As It Is in Heaven, Ken Claytor explores this question, debunks myths and stereotypes about race and the issue of racism in the modern church, and encourages believers to get involved in enacting change right where they are. Can we change the entire world? No. But we can begin to change our world by holding conversations, listening, studying Scripture, and humbly admitting where we’ve been wrong.

The Lord’s Prayer is a beautiful, subversive passage of words given to the church by Jesus. It forms our imaginations and—given time—transforms us. And today, we are in desperate need of renewed imaginations. Christians are living in a wilderness of secularism. In Liturgy in the Wilderness, Anglican priest D. J. Marotta shows how the Lord’s Prayer provides a framework in our secular age for understanding, believing, and living in light of Jesus Christ.

Deep inside, we know the truth: our life’s mission is to live with purpose. For followers of Christ, living out that mission is possible because of what God has done for us through Jesus. We just need to know the steps to make it happen. In his book Mission Possible, Tim Tebow introduces the tools you need to set your priorities and align your choices with God’s call on your life. Now, in the insightful and practical Mission Possible Bible Study, he provides a clear plan for applying those principles and lessons.
