Con frecuencia escucho la pregunta ¿cuál es la diferencia entre católicos y evangélicos? A través de este libro quisiera ayudarle a lograr dos objetivos principales: En primer lugar, entender que el tema en cuestión es si profesamos o no la fe cristiana, no si somos católicos o evangélicos. Jesucristo es el centro de la adoración cristiana y los principios que Él y Sus discípulos enseñaron, constituyen propiamente el contenido del cristianismo. Es decir, la Biblia, como Palabra de Dios, es la norma divinamente revelada por la cual conocemos a Dios y Sus enseñanzas. Aparte de ...

La sainteté est au centre du caractère de Dieu. Pourtant, la plupart des gens ont du mal à définir ce qu'est précisément la sainteté de Dieu. Beaucoup de prédicateurs aujourd'hui évitent complètement ce sujet parce que les gens ont de la difficulté à bien saisir certains concepts qui y sont reliés, comme celui de la crainte de Dieu. Cependant, la compréhension de la sainteté de Dieu est primordiale, car elle nous délivre de notre propension à nous confier en nous-mêmes et en notre propre justice pour le salut de notre âme.

This book is addressed to Christian believers who are feeling the ambiguities and challenges of a life of faith. Many of them may be uncertain about the meaning of the faith which they profess. The familiar words that they hear in sermons and prayers seem, at times, to belong to a reality far removed from the actual world they live in. They need to discover a meaning of their faith that they can relate to their own life experience and their general knowledge of the world.

Humor is a truly human phenomenon - crossing history, culture, and every stage of life. Jokes often touch on the biggest topics of our existence. And although it may seem simple on the surface, humor depends on the use of our highest faculties: language, intelligence, sympathy, sociability. To the philosopher Steve Wilkens, these facts about humor are evidence that God just has to be in there somewhere. Yet many Christians, scholars and laypeople alike, haven't taken humor seriously.

And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which was shewed thee in the mount (Exodus 26:30).

However, this book is a detailed study of its overall structure. And it unlocks additional insights about Christ and His Body of believers. The outer court, the tent coverings, the framework, and the directional arrangement are all important. In ...

Knowing, loving, and worshiping God is the call and privilege of every disciple of Jesus.

In this book you will find an overview of these truths in the doctrine of God as well as other great truths in the doctrine of divine revelation.

The Gospel is primarily about God. Part of the glory of the New Testament is that it explains the Gospel to us in terms of the glorious work of the three persons of the Trinity. Yet many can miss the rich Trinitarian backdrop of the New Testament because they are not looking for it. Knowing the Trinity shows that knowing God is knowing him as Triune and that to know him is to love him. Each section leads listeners to meditate on God’s work and how they relate to him in light of passages of Scripture that appeal to all three divine persons.

What Do We Believe We live in a time where many want to avoid theology, thinking that it is not necessary for the Christian life. This cannot be further from the truth. Theology, the study of God, is necessary for every Christian to understand not only God but how He wants us to live. Theology is not something for the Ivory Towers. The deeper our theology; the deeper our love for God will be and our desire to live for Him. This book is a great systematic theology starter for new believers yet still has so much theology that it will quickly become a quick reference resource for many mature ...

This Ragtown Pulpit sermon is about the second Psalm, and its place in the hearts and minds of believers. Specifically, the dilemma concerning Psalm 2 is this: Why don't believers love it more than they do? It literally has everything you'd think a Christian would want in a very short passage. Christ himself is all over and throughout this Old Testament text. It's filled with promises of God's faithfulness and the victory of Christ's kingdom. Nevertheless, you've probably never heard anyone, anywhere, claim it as their favorite. That's just weird. There are reasons for this. This sermon ...
