What are we to do when things don’t go the way we want, when the rug is pulled out from under us, when something terrible happens? How are we to react? Jamie shares what the prophet Isaiah says we are to do when the winds of adversity blow hard. We are to lengthen the cords to our tents and strengthen our stakes. Like the ancient Bedouins did, we are to make our tents flexible in the harsh environment, otherwise we just might be blown away. How do we lengthen our cords and strengthen our stakes? We lean into God, praise him and trust him. There’s a tendency in stormy circumstances to ...

There are some events which occur at regular intervals throughout the course of one’s ministry, as each year passes, namely the major Christian festivals. Unless a minister is particularly gifted, which I am not, this can present a problem, the problem being How do I come up with something new each year at Christmas, Easter and so on? One solution is to move to a new church at short intervals, but I wouldn’t really recommend this! The other solution is to take advantage of the vast number of resources we have nowadays and seek inspiration from books and material easily found on the ...

The Book of Revelation stands as Christianity's most magnificent yet misunderstood writing, offering both profound comfort to suffering believers and clear revelation of Christ's ultimate victory over every opposing force. This final book of Scripture provides the church with essential truth about spiritual warfare, divine sovereignty, and the certain triumph of God's kingdom that continues expanding throughout history. Rather than focusing primarily on chronological speculation about future events, Revelation reveals present spiritual realities that empower believers to live victoriously ...

Le véritable pouvoir de la prédication, c’est-à-dire le pouvoir qui produit un vrai réveil et qui transforme les vies, vient de Dieu seul. C’est pourquoi il est si essentiel de prêcher la Parole de Dieu en suivant le modèle qui nous est donné dans les Écritures. Dans ce livre, Steven J. Lawson, pasteur d’expérience et excellent vulgarisateur de la Bible, examine le modèle de prédication que Paul nous présente dans 1 Corinthiens 2.1-9.

During almost forty years of ordained ministry, and many years before, I have found myself the object of humorous situations, at least, as I viewed them, in which I am continually reminded that God has a sense of humor. I am convinced that God must have a sense of humor to have created the likes of me! Several years ago, while on a sabbatical from my parish duties, I had a unique opportunity to pause, reflect and compose these humorous true incidents. My intention at the time was to compile these stories and self-publish them to share with my family and friends. However, I put this project ...

Who needs revival? Every at one time or another will need a least some measure of reviving in their lives. Life has a way of weighing you down and draining your spiritual resources. But David said, there is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God. Revival is not a mystery or a miracle, but revival is God's answer and response to a hungry soul, who will honestly admit that they need a fresh fire and a fresh anointing.

The declaration 'It is finished' resonates profoundly in the context of Jesus' crucifixion, symbolizing the fulfillment of His divine mission. This phrase also echoes through various biblical narratives, where seemingly inexplicable events ultimately yield triumphant outcomes. In this book, we'll delve into poignant stories that exemplify the transformation of adversity into victory. Though the characters may not have uttered the exact words 'It is finished,' their experiences illustrate the same redemptive arc.

Leadership training messages for those whose hearts have a sense of responsibility in the church.

Father Johnny Bingo gives a lively talk about the Seal of Marriage and the Seal of Confession

Over many years, a hundred writers sat at their desks with the same aim - to write about 300 words that would grab the reader’s attention before telling them the Bible’s wonderful good news of salvation from the penalty of sin and the certainty of new life with God. What they produced were published as ‘tracts’ (leaflets) and printed along with many others in their tens of thousands to be distributed on the street or posted through letter boxes. These 100 tracts have been collated here in this book for two main reasons. Firstly, to keep on ‘sowing the seed’ - our prayer is that ...

It is, perhaps, surprising, to find almost a total absence of the word “Christian” in the New Testament; there are only three references. However, the word is much used today both in the church and in secular society. One dictionary defines “Christian” as “a decent, respectable person” (Chambers Concise). However, we need to remind ourselves that the first six letters of the word spell Christ”, and that without Him and His sacrifice for our sins, the word is meaningless. In this publication the author looks at the origin and meaning of the word “Christian” and the apparent...

By using worked examples, this book teaches how to approach the Bible in a God-centred and humble way, whilst also avoiding many common mistakes, problems etc. Attacks on scripture from society, philosophers, scholars and well-meaning Christians are ...

The modern Church faces a significant crisis in the area of discipleship, as many believers have drifted from the core mission of making new disciples. Jesus’ Great Commission explicitly commands His followers to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:19-20). Despite this clear directive, many churches today focus more on increasing attendance or building programs rather than actively engaging in personal disciple-making. This trend has ...

Jesus prophesied that in the last days there would be many false prophets who would deceive many. Apostle Peter also wrote that in the last days many false teachers would be present among the saints. False prophets and false teachers are instruments of the Devil. The devil uses them for two main reasons; one, to ensure the saint does not receive his full inheritance in Christ and two, to ensure that many go to hell by believing the lies. This book has being written to warn church leaders and saints to be cautious about false teachers and also share wisdom on what the Church must do to ...
