    The response of the church at large has been a decidedly large focus on ''relevant'' and ''hip, '' family-fragmenting youth ministries. But is this the right response? Dr. Voddie Baucham says no. In this powerful message delivered at the 2006 Conference for Uniting Church and Family, Dr. Baucham presents the case that the home must be the central training ground for evangelism and discipleship. He charges parents to understand their role as shepherds by embracing the joy of their biblical duties and responsibilities. His exposition of Scripture is clear and his arguments unassailable.

    God does not want anyone to go to hell, but if they do not put Him first in their life and do His works, one might not end up where they think they are going. Pastor Seung Woo Byun explores specific and powerful promises of God that point to heaven and hell. Readers are guided through biblical End-Time prophecies, with special focus on the impending rapture of the true church—the bride of Christ. Many questions are answered by an overview of the Rapture, the Second Resurrection, the Antichrist, the role of the Jewish people, and what one must do to be prepared. This “must-read” book will not only reveal where you do not want to go (and why), but where you do want to go and how to get there through Christ Jesus. You will not want to miss the truth about the two worlds that await you when you die.

    ?Calvinism, according to the author, has received a bad press and has been unjustly criticized on the grounds that its teachings undermine zeal for Christian mission and evangelism. Taking each of the so-called ?five points of Calvinism in turn, John Benton convincingly shows how the ?doctrines of grace are in fact five beautiful diamonds from which the glories of Jesus wonderfully shine to attract those who are lost in sin. He demonstrates how ?they address the sinner's deepest fears in the most heart-warming way imaginable and comes to the conclusion that ?rather than being truths of which we are to be wary, they are in fact an integral part of the gospel to be proclaimed.
