The identity and self-description of God and Christ in the Bible sentences, beginning with the words "I Am"....

The fractured Church has seemingly little impact on a fractured culture. With hundreds of denominations and a world waiting to see truth, maybe it's time for a different approach. Body Broken will take you into the heart of Jesus' prayer, "May they be one". Could we - you and I - be the answer to that prayer? And if so, what would it take for that to happen? In this audiobook, you'll find not only vision for us - together - being the Body of Christ, but also what we - together - can offer a broken world.

More than 50 years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote his Letter from a Birmingham Jail. Much has transpired in the half-century since, and progress has been made in the issues that were close to Dr. King’s heart. Thankfully, the burning crosses, biting police dogs, and angry mobs of that day are long gone. But in their place, passivity has emerged. A passivity that must be addressed. That’s the aim of Letters to a Birmingham Jail. A collection of essays written by men of various ethnicities and ages.

Es ist das brisante Thema unserer Zeit. Christen, die Kirche und die Bibel scheinen mit der modernen Haltung zur Homosexualität nicht im Einklang zu stehen. Und es gibt eine wachsende Feindseligkeit gegenüber denen, die die moderne Sicht nicht teilen. Ist Gott etwa homophob? Und was sagen wir zu Christen und Nichtchristen, die sich vom gleichen Geschlecht angezogen fühlen? Sam Allberry weiß, wovon er spricht. Mit diesem kurzen, leicht verständlichen Hörbuch möchte er verunsicherten Christen helfen zu verstehen, was Gott dazu in der Bibel gesagt hat.

The New Testament book of Jude is a brief yet powerful treatise on the perils of false teaching within the Christian church. Dr. Herndon, in this new passage by passage commentary, makes the argument that Biblical doctrines are like dominos - they stand or fall together as a body of beliefs. Dominos is the first in a new series of dynamic commentaries.

We live in a church age of such profound apostasy that a large segment of evangelicalism is unable to biblically explain what it is to be a "Christian". This is largely due to a wholesale neglect of the doctrine of regeneration - that supernatural impartation of spiritual life to the spiritually dead that causes individuals to savingly believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and so radically transforms their natures that the very desires of their hearts and acts of their wills reflect the nature of God who has made them new creatures in Christ. This is the subject of this little book.

We are all prone to debilitating physical and spiritual weakness. But knowing how to find spiritual strength in those seasons of weakness - especially in the face of persecution - is elusive for most. Timothy, the apostle Paul's son in the faith, struggled with this very thing. But God revealed to him some very practical ways to tap into the resources he already possessed, bringing him much needed comfort and encouragement, while at the same time giving him power to persevere and prevail in the face of overwhelming forces of opposition.

There is perhaps no greater proof of man's innate sinfulness and hostility toward God than the staggering immorality of our culture. Most people, even many Christians, have either a distorted or a non-existent understanding of how God views his or her body, the primary focus of this book. As result, they are vulnerable to the deceptions and threats of the sexual revolutionaries. By examining and obeying God's perspective, we are equipped to navigate a culture saturated with sexual perversion and prurience, and we learn how to walk on a godly path of blessing and joy.

The purpose of this mini book is to help believers develop a deeper grasp of what it means to be "in Christ", that together we might embrace this intimate oneness more fully by faith and experience more of the confidence, power, and soul-satisfying joy of the presence of our exalted Redeemer. Charles Spurgeon said it best: "There is no joy in this world like union with Christ! The more we can feel it, the happier we are, whatever our circumstances." Through the careful exposition of relevant biblical passages regarding this subject, this little book is certain to animate this joy.

Sorrow is a familiar companion of every Christian. But for those who rest confidently in the good and perfect purposes of God, there exists an inexplicable, subjective awareness of God's all-sufficient grace - a tranquil peace impervious to circumstances that flows from the fountain of His covenantal love for those he has redeemed. The purpose of this little volume is to help believers develop a deeper understanding of this dynamic force of divine resources, one that transforms all believers at the moment of salvation and empowers them in every aspect of their life in Christ.
