Hardcover. Condition: Good. When most people hear Dr. Adrian Rogers preach for the first time, they are captivated by his deep, resonant voice. But through this collection of sermons, you will be struck by his faithful presentation of Jesus Christ as light and truth. He exhorts believers to remain devoted to Christ, to follow the instruction that God gives, and to have confidence in Gods goodness during the complexities of life. He begs readers to recognize Jesus as truth itself, to treasure truth over experience, and to risk whatever is necessary to defend the truth.Dr. Rogers desires people to be brought from darkness into light so that they can understand the truth of Gods message through His Son and through the Bible. Though salvation is the ultimate triumph over evil in an individuals life, there are many battles to be fought and won as we cast off the darkness of what life is without Christ. Here is encouragement to continue to grow in conformity to Christs light and truth. Marked by Dr. Rogerss friendly style and graciousness, these sermons highlight Gods solution to the darkness of the world.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Athanasius. John Owen. J. Gresham Machen.Each of these men stood for the truth of God's Word in the face of opposition-all out of a deep love for Christ and a desire for people to know God in his fullness. Popularity was not a concern, and they took no joy in controversy for argument's sake. However, these men were willing to suffer for the sake of guarding the sanctity of the gospel. Many threats, years of exile, deaths of loved ones, opposition from friends and authorities, sickness and pain-none of these setbacks could keep these three from maintaining their efforts for the furthering of Christ's Kingdom or quench their zeal for Christ himself.In his fourth book of The Swans Are Not Silent series, Contending for Our All, John Piper has given us biographies of Athanasius, John Owen, and J. Gresham Machen-bishop, pastor, and seminary founder. In the life of each one, personal holiness was emphasized publicly and privately despite suffering. They were true soldiers for the sake of the cross, and each man offers life lessons for Christians today.AthanasiusThe deity of Christ and all its worth consumed Athanasius. He devoted his life to defending it. The great adversary was the Arian heresy. Athanasius would be banished by the emperor five times. He was contending for his all-the essential, life-giving truth of Christ and his gospel.John OwenCommunion with Christ was the focus of John Owen's vast intellect and expansive heart. He battled Christ-belittling errors of the mind and heart with passion and skill. Going deeper in the understanding of Christ was for him the key to going deeper in fellowship with him.J. Gresham MachenRepresenting Christ in all his fullness with all of Scripture drove J. Gresham Machen. He saw in the liberal Christianity of the early twentieth century another religion. His exposure of its subtleties and his emphasis on the facts of history are astonishingly relevant for our time in the early twenty-first century.The Swans Are Not SilentWhen Augustine handed over the leadership of his church in A.D. 426, his successor was so overwhelmed by a sense of inadequacy that he declared, "The swan is silent," fearing the spiritual giant's voice would be lost to time. But for 1,600 years Augustine has not been silent-and neither have those who faithfully trumpeted the cause of Christ after him. Their lives have inspired every generation of believers and should compel us to a greater passion for God.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Bunyan. Cowper. Brainerd.We read their stories and wonder how they endured. How does one survive twelve years in a dank prison cell? How does one survive month after month of a depression so debilitating that death seems the only hope? How does one endure tuberculosis? Or cancer, or emptiness, or death, or loneliness, or divorce? Whatever the trial may be, how does one endure without the soul shriveling up and blowing away with the breeze?In the lives of John Bunyan, William Cowper, and David Brainerd, we find the strength of soul that not only endures hardship, but honors God in the midst of it. The Giver and Sustainer of life enabled them to worship through all their suffering. That's why their affliction bore so much fruit. The story of their suffering, their perseverance, and their passion is one that can inspire the same hunger for the supremacy of God in your life.John Piper invites you to read their stories, consider their lives, and be encouraged that no labor and no suffering in the path of Christian obedience is ever in vain. Even the bleak hill of Golgotha was a skull with a frown of affliction on its face. But "behind a frowning providence, He hides a smiling face."Just as Bunyan's, Cowper's, and Brainerd's suffering produced the worship and humility that is essential to Christian living, we too can look to God for great privileges to come from our own pain. And we too can remember, "The bud may have a bitter taste, but sweet will be the flower."

Softcover. Condition: Good. Why do Christians study doctrine? You might say our faith depends on it. In our culture that promotes a variety of religions and argues that all are equally valid, it is essential that Christians know doctrine. Without sound doctrine, our faith is in danger of being distorted or destroyed.What is Christian doctrine? Simply put, it is what the Christian church throughout history has taught and believed-what separates Christianity from other religions of the world.Biblical Faith is a concise, straightforward explanation of twelve basic doctrines. It begins by discussing what Christians believe about Scripture, then explores doctrines from Creation and the Fall to heaven and hell. It describes the most profound truths of the Bible in a way that is clear and easy to understand. Biblical Faith is perfect for anyone who wants to know more about what is essential to Christian belief.

Softcover. Condition: Good. The Bible is clear: mankind was meant to exercise godly domination over the earth. Yet today men mine valuable resources by whatever method brings the greatest profit in the shortest time, leaving the earth ravaged. They hunt and fish for pleasure, not food, leaving animal carcasses behind to rot. They worship self and ignore the God who made them.The answer to the ecological crises of our day is found only in the glorious truths of biblical Christianity: God created ex nihilo; He is both infinite and personal; we are made in His image and thus have great value in Him; Christ's death brought redemption from the consequences of the Fall (for believing individuals now and for all creation when He returns).There are indeed serious ecological crises in our world, but, says Dr. Francis A. Schaeffer, one of the greatest Christian thinkers of our time: "The Christian who believes the Bible should be the man who--with God's help and in the power of the Holy Spirit--is treating nature now in the direction of the way nature will be [when Christ returns]. God's calling to the Christian now, and to the Christian community, in the area of nature. is that we should exhibit a substantial healing here and now."A powerful Christian classic--a marvelous theological response to ecological danger signals.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Life is a work of art--shaped by the subtle shades of patience and creativity, faith and truth, hope and love. And when the everyday activities of home and work become infused with these qualities, the hidden art that lies beneath the surface begins to shine through. What is the secret of such a life? To be a creative genius? No. It is only to know the Creator--to love Him, to know His presence in our lives, to walk in His way. And as we are drawn closer to Him, the most ordinary events are transformed by his power and presence into a work of art that will shine forever.Drawing from the depth of Edith Schaeffer's experience, "The Art of Life counsels and encourages with a month of daily readings which have been selected from Mrs. Schaeffer's eleven books. A brief prayer and Scripture readings accompany the selection for each day.But "The Art of Life is also a work of art in itself--blending the written word, a prayer, and Bible readings with the exquisite drawings of artist Floyd G. Hosmer. Here the simple beauty of rural themes--a weathered barn, wild flowers, a country road--suggest in their own way the gentle beauty of the commonplace scenes in our own lives as they are touched by the Creator.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 0. In his essay The End for Which God Created the World , the great theologian Jonathan Edwards proclaimed that God's ultimate end is the manifestation of his glory in the highest happiness of his creatures. Pastor John Piper has devoted his years of ministry to exploring the implications of this stunning truth for life and ministry. Understanding that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him has made all the difference for John Piper-and can transform your life as well. Here Piper passionately demonstrates the relevance of Edwards's ideals for the personal and public lives of Christians today through his own book-length introduction to Edwards's The End for Which God Created the World . This book also contains the complete essay supplemented by almost a hundred of Piper's insightful explanatory notes. The result is a powerful and persuasive presentation of the things that matter most in the Christian life.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. "A truly Christian worldview begins with the conviction that God Himself has spoken in Scripture. As Christians, we are committed to the Bible as the inerrant and authoritative Word of God. Scripture is the standard by which we must test all other truth-claims. Unless that dominates our perspective on all of life, we cannot legitimately claim to have embraced a Christian worldview. Think Biblically! issues a serious call to recover a Christian worldview that is absolute and exclusive. These essays are intended to reaffirm and restore a biblically-based view of life's reality from God's perspective. Whether the reader is a student in high school or college, a pastor or professor, a missionary or biblical counselor, a layperson or Christian worker, this book will help refocus proper attention on God's understanding of the world in which one lives." -Adapted from the Preface and Chapter 1What we think shapes who we are. That's why the Bible tells us, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind" (Romans 12:2a). In a world of differing voices competing for our allegiance, we must learn to "think biblically" so we can distinguish good from evil. God is the Creator of this world; His voice-His Word-must guide our thoughts and our lives.With the Bible in their hands, John MacArthur and other scholars and teachers from The Master's College confront the false worldviews that dominate our postmodern world. The authors provide models for cultivating a biblical mind-set on worship, psychology, gender, science, education, history, government, economics, and literature. This book will prove to be helpful to anyone striving to Think Biblically! in today's culture.Associate Editors:Dr. Richard L. Mayhue, Provost Dr. John A.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition, First Printing. We don't like to admit it, but anyone who honestly evaluates the church's life and outlook will understand that these are not good days for evangelicalism. We've achieved success, but in a worldly sort of way--big numbers, big budgets, and big outreaches. Yet church attendance is actually down and alleged "born again" believers do not differ significantly in their worldview from their neighbors. Why? We have forgotten our theology and, consciously or not, have pursued the wisdom of the world, accepted its "doctrines," and utilized its methods.Pastor James Montgomery Boice believed that our ignorance of God and neglect of the gospel of grace is the root of the problem. Here he identifies what's happening within the church and explains how the five doctrinal truths that transformed the world during the Reformation not only offer the solution but can shape a renewal today.By offering people what they desperately lack--the Word of God and salvation through Christ--rather than giving them an imitation of what they already have, we will see Christianity thrive once again. And in holding fervently to the foundational truths of the gospel, we will know the power of spiritual renewal in our churches."Without these five confessional statements--Scripture alone, Christ alone, grace alone, faith alone, and glory to God alone--we do not have a true church, and certainly not one that will survive for very long. For how can any church be a true and faithful church if it does not stand for Scripture alone, is not committed to a biblical gospel, and does not exist for God's glory? A church without these convictions has ceased to be a true church, whatever else it may be." --James Montgomery Boice.

Softcover. Condition: Good. American Christianity is at a turning point. We face perhaps the greatest challenge--and the greatest opportunity--since the founding of our country. The challenge we face is the tidal wave of militant anti-Christian belief engulfing society, and the chaos left in its wake. From the AIDS epidemic to financial fraud; from the killing of twenty million unborn babies to economic decline; from the crisis in the family to rampant immorality--these seemingly insurmountable problems have resulted from the humanist rejection of God and moral absolutes. It is becoming painfully apparent that anti-Christian humanism, the guiding force of our society for the last three decades, does not work. The world is in crisis and people want answers.<br /><br />The opportunity for Christians to proclaim the truth, to provide answers, is great. Will we seize the opportunity? Will we share the only real hope there is?<br /><br />This book, the first volume in the Turning Point Christian Worldview Series, outlines a bold new strategy for Christians to live out our personal lives, and just as much Lord over all of life and culture. In the past, those who have taken up the challenge have reformed society. "Turning Point provides dramatic examples of how ordinary Christians, who combine piety, reason and the boldness to act, can change the world.<br /><br />While the idols of our age lead only to destruction, "Turning Point offers a resounding message of hope, rooted in the Living God, in His Holy Word, and in the reality of His presence in our lives today.
