Because the Time is Near: John MacArthur Explains the Book of Revelation


John F. MacArthur Jr. - 2007
    Whether it’s a giant asteroid, a worldwide plague, or some other global catastrophe, the end of the world is a terrifying prospect—at least for those who have no idea what it will be like.For Christians, however, the end of the world should be anything but dreadful. In fact, it should be something we look forward to. Why? Because God has told us how the world will end. And He has assured us that the end of this age will mark the beginning of a new, glorious one in which we will serve and worship Him in sinless perfection. Our eternal hope, as believers, is intimately tied to the end of this world.All of this is laid out in the book of Revelation. Not only is Revelation the inspired Word of God, it is also the only New Testament book that includes a promised spiritual blessing for those who study and apply its message. As such, it is an essential part of every Christian’s devotional life. Those who ignore Revelation deprive themselves of a rich treasure of divine truth, and the promised blessings that come from understanding that truth. Join John MacArthur as he explains the book of Revelation in a way that is both doctrinally precise and intensely practical.

The Truth War: Fighting for Certainty in an Age of Deception


John F. MacArthur Jr. - 2007
    Perhaps no one in America is more passionate than John MacArthur about exposing those who are mounting this attack―especially those bringing the assault right into the church.There is no middle ground―no safe zone for the uncommitted in this war. The battle for truth is raging, and this book reveals:The pitfalls of postmodern thinking Why the Emerging Church Movement is inherently flawed Past skirmishes in the Truth War and their effect on the Church The importance of truth and certainty in a postmodern society How to identify and address the errors and false teachings smuggled into churches"[The postmodern age] is the age of no truth, an age that has reached a point of deadly fatigue when it comes to facing the truth―a generation that no longer believes truth can be known. Dr. John MacArthur knows better, and he is armed with the courage to confront this age with a bold defense of truth. . . . His argument is compelling, his defense of truth is brilliant, and his concern for the church is evident on every page. The evangelical church desperately needs this book, and it arrives just in time." ―R. Albert Mohler Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

Tozer: Mystery Of The Holy Spirit


A.W. Tozer - 2007
    TozerDr. A.W. Tozer (1897-1963) was a twentieth-century prophet with keen insight into spiritual things, especially the nature of the Church at large. He spoke with prophetic precision about issues within the Church that he believed were crippling the Church spiritually. Mystery of the Holy Spirit is a collection of sermons that reveal Tozer's prophetic insights into this crucial topic.These sermons on the Holy Spirit represent Dr. Tozer at his best. Tozer's critique of the Church is as relevant today as when he first preached it from his pulpit in Chicago more than a half-century ago. These powerful messages exude the timeless fragrance of God's anointing, pinning us down and piercing our hearts."We have grieved the Holy Spirit," Dr. Tozer warned, "and He has withdrawn His anointing from many Christians."The greatest sin within the Evangelical church, according to Dr. Tozer, is neglecting the Holy Spirit and not allowing Him to be Lord in the Church. In these sermons we are challenged to confess this sin and invite the Holy Spirit to resume His rightful place of Lordship in our churches and in our lives today.In an era when many extremes are being promoted in the name of the Holy Spirit, Dr. Tozer's cautious warnings are more than apropos--they are an urgent call to action.

Identity Theft: Reclaiming Who God Created You to Be


Mike Breaux - 2007
    We all know the damage it inflicts---or do we? There's a kind of identity theft that goes far deeper than our financial records. It impoverishes our souls and keeps us from experiencing the richness in life God intends for us.Have you been ...* Robbed by Relationships?* Mugged by the Mirror?* Stolen by Success?* Pickpocketed by the Past?Mike Breaux exposes the four 'identity thieves' that steal our sense of who we truly are and render our lives diminished versions of what they were intended to be. We were never meant to be chameleons, changing into whatever we need to be in order to gain love and acceptance. We were created for more---much more---than the way we look, what we accomplish or fail to accomplish, and the sum of our past rejections, failures, and wounds.The good news is that no matter how they were stolen, our identities are retrievable. With trademark humor, compelling stories, and down-to-earth wisdom, Mike Breaux shows how we can reclaim our deep, God-given identities and live freely, purposefully, and joyously out of a renewed knowledge of who we truly are.

Create in Me a Pure Heart: Answers for Struggling Women


Steve Gallagher - 2007
    These ominous words perfectly articulate the living hell in which many Christian women are currently living. At first glance, one might think that there are only a few women involved in sexual sin scattered throughout the Body of Christ. But statistics penetrates much deeper than anybody might have imagined.For instance, experts believe that 17% of Christian women are addicted to some form of sexual sin. Internet professionals claim that women account for 28% of all visitors to pornographic websites.The truth is, Christian women are not only becoming increasingly involved in traditional forms of sexual sin such as fornication and adultery, but they are now branching out into new activities such as lesbianism and cyber-sex. According to a recent report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 11% of women surveyed have had a sexual experience with another woman, compared with only 4% of women in a similar 1992 survey.Clearly, sexual sin is no longer only a man?'s dilemma. However, the root causes for sexual sin differ between the sexes. While men are apt to be aroused visually, women tend to become stimulated through their emotions. Women almost always attach emotions to their sexual activity. Very few women can become intimate with a man without some kind of emotional bond being in place. It has been said that men give love to receive sex in return, while women give sex to receive love in return. This desire for an emotional connection with another person is one of the primary motivations for women who become involved in sexual sin. Another contributing factor can be the craving for male attention. The recent explosion in popularity of cosmetic surgery is evidence of a growing trend among women to be considered sexually desirable. Other women become promiscuous as a result of indulging themselves in romantic fantasies. The huge numbers of women viewing soap operas and reading romance novels are a telltale sign of how this fantasy life has entrenched itself in female America. Many of these women become so fixated on the hope of finding Prince Charming that they end up having sex or committing adultery with multiple men. Moreover, this trend is not limited to adult women. Young girls are being reared in a culture which continually pushes promiscuity. Girls learn early on that the primary source of their value as a human being comes by way of their looks and sexiness and act provocatively. Teen icons, such as Britney Spears, teach young girls to think sensually, dress seductively and act provocatively. Fashion designers market sexy lines of clothing with risqu ads. Television producers teach girls to associate free, unrestrained sexual expression with success, happiness, power, and love. Considering all of these growing trends, it is little wonder that sexual sin has dramatically increased within the female population of the United States. What then is the answer for these struggling women? True Christianity has always provided both a clear-cut path to victory over sin, and a life of fulfillment.Create in Me a Pure Heart offers candid wisdom, sensitive counsel and unvarnished truth. It instantly connects with the heart of every struggling woman, affirming that there is freedom from the shame of sexual sin and a path to purity even in the midst of our sexualized culture. Packed with sound biblical truth and the God-given answer to overcoming habitual sin, every chapter breathes hope to the reader.Steve Gallagher?'s best-selling book, At the Altar of Sexual Idolatry, has helped thousands of men overcome sexual sin. Create in Me a Pure Heart extends this liberating legacy to struggling women.
