Spiritual Growth Love

According to John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, God raised up Methodism in order to spread the central teaching of entire sanctification. The church has offered an unbalanced understanding of the gospel for too long. This book calls all Methodists—the spiritual descendants of the Wesleyan revival, regardless of contemporary denominational expression—back to who we have been at our best. Perfect Love provides an in-depth explanation of entire sanctification and helps listeners pursue all that God has for us.

The title of this book came from a conversation between a first grader and his mother. He must have felt that his teacher was pining away every evening, every weekend, and every summer, just waiting to be with the class again. Actually, most teachers fill their off-hours very well with other children and their own children in Sunday School, Y camps, or other community programs.

Life is full of challenges and even as Christians, we are not strangers to pain and suffering. The stories in the Bible have shown us that even favored kings like David and Solomon had their share of ordeals. The apostle, Paul, had to walk a lonely and hardship-filled road on his way to greatness. Job, a person worthy of admiration, went through sickness and almost loses the fight for his faith.

Fire in My Heart is a good all-around introduction (or refresher for longtime Christians) about living the Christian faith. Sr. Ann presents a practical and personal guide to loving God and other people. In her words, "These bedrock priorities in my personal life and prayer have brought me closer to the Lord and increased my hunger and thirst to follow after Him ever more closely. I pray that those same blessings will be yours."

The Bible tells a story—and it may be one you haven't considered. It is the story of God and humans in an unexpected relationship of faithfulness and love. It's about people who fail and about the God who pursues them with his unrelenting covenant love. And it concludes with a miracle plot twist so astonishing, it changes everything.

The world is changing, along with our ideas around sexuality, authority, patriarchy, and truth. Despite the Church's best attempts at downplaying the changes, millions of intellectually honest people are entering into a process often referred to as deconstruction. In The Reconstructionist, pastor, and author Jonathan Foster offers up his own deconstruction story, how it stirred up the fear of his denomination, his subsequent expulsion, and how the insights gleaned might just point a way forward. It's based on three simple ideas: people > text, mercy > sacrifice, and love > fear.

Distilled from the Bible's timeless truths and the experiences of everyday life, these meditations reveal a love that is boundless, fearless, stubborn, lavish, outlandish, and intentional.

Did you know there are two laws of God? Both laws have a priesthood and a high priest. Both laws tell us how to live, how to treat each other, and how to relate to God. But...one law leads to judgment, curse, and death. The other law leads to forgiveness, grace, peace, and eternal life. The Lord has revealed in the Scriptures the law of the priesthood of Melchizedek, of which Jesus is high priest. It is the law by which the Lord is calling all believers to live. It is the oldest and the highest law of God and is in fact the law of heaven.
