God is infinitely excellent, and that excellence is most profoundly displayed in the person and saving work of Jesus Christ. The heart of Edwards’ theology radiates the glory of God as displayed in Christ saving unworthy sinners through perfect obedience to God’s unchanging rule of righteousness. The whole of Edwards’ theology stands on the beauty and redemptive work of Christ as revealing and communicating the marvelous perfections of the Trinity. Salvation of a single soul apart from perfect conformity to God’s rule of righteousness would render God unrighteous and abolish His ...

Christian victory, as explained in Colossians, is radically different from how victory is commonly imagined in both religious and cultural thinking. Paul does not describe victory as gradual spiritual dominance, mystical advancement, or human achievement over evil forces. Instead, he presents victory as a decisive, completed act accomplished by Christ alone, rooted in the Cross and applied to believers through union with Him. This redefinition is essential because misunderstanding victory leads believers either into fear-driven spirituality or into performance-based religion. Colossians ...

What does human suffering have to do with God's power and love? Everyone has a "Gethsemane," a place and time in our lives when we face sorrow on the deepest level.

Secular, skeptical, disillusioned. These are the traits that mark our age—encouraged by outspoken atheists who insist that faith is naïve and belief is dangerous. But what if the atheists are the irrational ones? Can their beliefs withstand the rigorous examination that they demand from...

What did Jesus - the original Jesus - say about the pressing issues of his and our day? He didn't mention homosexuality but did call for the poor and marginalized to be protected and championed; he never spoke of abortion but did criticize the wealthy and complacent; he didn't side with the rulers and wealthy but did condemn those who judged and exploited others and turned their eyes away from those in need and from the cry for justice. This was Jesus the rebel, Christ the radical, who turned the world upside down and demanded that his followers do the same.

For many years, Michael Phillips assumed he clearly understood the life of Jesus. Though Jesus was in truth his Savior, and even his Lord, Phillips felt challenged to understand more of the remarkable life lived 2,000 years ago in Palestine. Then came a crisis in his spiritual pilgrimage. Challenged to discover the New Testament imperative for his life, Phillips takes a fresh look at the Bible to find out what is the essence, the foundation, of spirituality. He discovers a key that gives validity to an entire life's purpose as a Christian. And that key to Jesus' life was obedience.

What does God want from us? What does it mean to follow him? Nothing answers those questions better than the simple but profound teachings Jesus delivered on a hillside over 2000 years ago. If we can learn and implement the principles found in the Sermon on the Mount, we will not only change our lives, we will bless the world! That is why we were created. That is why we live.

This book addresses three vital subjects in regards to the Christian faith. The first is the reliability of the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible and of the Old Testament, and most specifically its teachings about divine creation. That relates to the issue of science and the Bible in general. The second subject is the reliability of the Gospels, the first four books of the New Testament of the Holy Bible, and most specifically their claims about the resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is much contention about these two issues.

Using texts from ancient and controversial discoveries, the missing years of Jesus are uncovered, revealing a young man's struggle between childhood and godhood. Jesus the child, the boy, the man, and the messiah are all seen in documents spanning from the time of his birth to his crucifixion. Now, the missing years in the life of Jesus are told through these hotly contested books and letters.

This was written by our author in confutation of certain heretics who denied the reality of Christ’s flesh, or at least its identity with human flesh - fearing that, if they admitted the reality of Christ’s flesh, they must also admit his resurrection in the flesh; and, consequently, the resurrection of the human body after death.

This book was born out of a simple yet profound Scriptural truth which begs an unanswered—even unasked—question: If the fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom, then what is its end? This very question marks the very first words of this book and is the start of what is described as being not as much an exposition of Scripture as much as it is an extrapolation from it, in which Caleb Reichardt takes you on a journey through the Christian life using wisdom as the compass. And what looks to be a book solely about wisdom on its surface, becomes more and more a book about Christ the deeper...

Are the biblical gospels historically reliable eyewitness accounts? What does the evidence say? And if they are, what implications does that have for what these writers claim about Jesus? In this book, Christian Apologist and self-proclaimed Bible Nerd Evan Minton defends the reliability of the gospels. He looks into the issue of whether the New Testament writings we have today reflect what the originals said 2,000 years ago, whether Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John whose names are at the top of the gospels are really the people who wrote these books, whether secular extra biblical documents ...

While pastoring for the past fifteen years, Jared Wilson has become known in contemporary evangelicalism for his passionate, gospel-centered writing and teaching.
