Jonathan Edwards se esmeró en ilustrar cómo debe vivirse y ejercerse el amor en la vida cuando expuso 1 Corintios 13. Insiste en que la verdadera experiencia cristiana es “sobrenatural” -producida por el Espíritu y centrada en Cristo- y que “toda la verdadera gracia cristiana tiende a la práctica”, y que el amor no es solo una virtud cristiana, sino aquella que da vida a todas las demás. Este libro representa una de sus obras más importantes, la mezcla perfecta de doctrina y aplicación sobre el tema más importante, el amor cristiano. Esta edición corresponde a la edición ...

In such a time as this when many churches in Africa are drifting away from biblical Christianity and adopting doctrines and practices totally foreign to the Christianity practiced by the apostles and the church fathers, it is therefore imperative to urgently engage in apologetics and polemics, so that the church in Africa can preserve and transmit the tradition of truth and biblical Christianity to the coming generations of Christians in Africa. In Doing Apologetics with an African Mindset, readers will learn the following: 1. How to do Apologetics from the African perspective, 2. The ...

In "The Comfort of Calvinism: A Defense of the Reformed Faith," Dr. Doug Erlandson, a retired professor of philosophy, and a pastor, presents a defense of Calvinism (many detractors refer to it as "that damnable doctrine") and shows how this understanding of Scripture has confronted him since he became a Christian more than 40 years ago."

Have you ever wondered why there are different Christian churches that are called denominations? Are you one of many people out there who were born-again at some point in your life but never knew where you fit in to the Christian community, the body of Christ, the church, your adopted Heavenly Father's family? Have you ever wondered how it's possible that the Bible talks about the "church", one body of Christ Jesus when there seems to be so many? While visiting many different churches that were part of many different Christian denominations I had an on-going question, a prayer really, that ...

The idea that wealth is a sign of God's blessing, as taught in the prosperity gospel, is not supported by Scripture. Many of God's greatest servants were called to forsake material wealth in order to fully follow Christ. The message of the Gospel is not one of accumulating earthly riches but of denying oneself, taking up the cross, and following Jesus in the fellowship of His sufferings. Jesus Himself warned against the dangers of wealth, and throughout the Bible, God’s people were often required to set aside personal riches to fulfill His will. Jesus made it clear that following Him ...

Everybody has a form of eschatology—beliefs about their future or the world's. For some, eschatology brings despair because everything ends in death—including the individual and the universe. Some have a vague hope of the afterlife. For Christians, they should have a certain hope because God has laid out his plan for the end times in Scripture. He reveals these things to teach his saints about his glory and control over history, to encourage them in uncertain times, and to equip them for good works, among other things. For these reasons, we should not neglect eschatology but instead ...
