Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart: How to Know for Sure You Are Saved


J.D. Greear - 2013
    D. Greear. He struggled for many years to gain an assurance of salvation and eventually learned he was not alone. “Lack of assurance” is epidemic among evangelical Christians.In Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart, J. D. shows that faulty ways of presenting the gospel are a leading source of the confusion. Our presentations may not be heretical, but they are sometimes misleading. The idea of “asking Jesus into your heart” or “giving your life to Jesus” often gives false assurance to those who are not saved—and keeps those who genuinely are saved from fully embracing that reality.Greear unpacks the doctrine of assurance, showing that salvation is a posture we take to the promise of God in Christ, a posture that begins at a certain point and is maintained for the rest of our lives. He also answers the tough questions about assurance: What exactly is faith? What is repentance? Why are there so many warnings that seem to imply we can lose our salvation?Such issues are handled with respect to the theological rigors they require, but Greear never loses his pastoral sensitivity or a communication technique that makes this message teachable to a wide audience from teens to adults.

Both-And: Living the Christ-Centered Life in an Either-Or World


Rich Nathan - 2013
    We find ourselves caught between competing factions, secular or religious, conservative or liberal. We are pulled between extremes on one side or the other. But the Christian faith holds together seemingly contradictory ideas: Jesus is both human and divine; God is both three and one. There is a paradoxical power in the both-and. Rich Nathan and Insoo Kim show how Christians can live out the fullness of the gospel through the both-and. They affirm that we believe in both proclamation and demonstration of the gospel, justice and mercy, and unity and diversity as one body with many parts. The answer is not to choose one or the other, but to hold both together for a richer, more holistic experience of Christianity. Then we will live into the realities of the kingdom of God, both now and not yet, on earth as it is in heaven. Both-And Christians are both timeless and timely, hewing to the orthodoxy of traditional belief while always contextualizing our witness in a rapidly changing world. Discover how you can deepen your discipleship with the larger vision of the both-and.

John Wesley's Teachings, Volume 3: Pastoral Theology


Thomas C. Oden - 2013
    Wesley was a prolific writer and commentator on Scripture—his collected works fill eighteen volumes—and yet it is commonly held that he was not systematic or consistent in his theology and teachings. On the contrary, Thomas C. Oden demonstrates that Wesley displayed a remarkable degree of internal consistency over sixty years of preaching and ministry. This series of 4 volumes is a text-by-text guide to John Wesley’s teaching. It introduces Wesley’s thought on the basic tenets of Christian teaching: God, providence, and man (volume 1), Christ and salvation (volume 2), the practice of pastoral care (volume 3), and issues of ethics and society (volume 4). In everyday modern English, Oden clarifies Wesley’s explicit intent and communicates his meaning clearly to a contemporary audience. Both lay and professional readers will find this series useful for devotional reading, moral reflection, sermon preparation, and for referencing Wesley’s opinions on a broad range of pressing issues of contemporary society.

Tradecraft: For the Church on Mission


Larry E. McCrary - 2013
    Church leaders, conference speakers, and authors are weighing the merits of the attractional church movement of the past few decades, and where they find it lacking, prescribing changes in the way we need to approach our cultures with the Gospel. There has been a consensus shift among many churches, networks, and denominations to become more focused on mission. The result is a renewed interest in reaching the lost in our cities and around the world. The Church, in many places in the Western world, is in fact returning to a biblical missional focus. Yet there is something still to be addressed in the process: thehow. For centuries, God has called missionaries to cross cultures with the Gospel, and along the way, they have developed the necessary skill-sets for a cultural translation of the Good News. These skills need to be shared with the rest of the Church in order to help them as well be effective missionaries.Tradecraft for the Church on Missiondoes exactly that. This book, in essence, pulls back the curtain on tools once accessible only to full-time Christian workers moving overseas, and offers them to anyone anywhere who desires to live missionally."

Should She Preach - Biblical Evangelism for Women


Tony Miano - 2013
    If your answer to the questions is, “Evangelizing on the streets, in any manner, is no place for a Christian woman,” then you are not thinking biblically. To my sisters in Christ who will read this book: I love you. I want God’s very best for you. I want you to serve Christ Jesus our King to the best of your ability, through the unique Holy Spirit-enabled gifting He has assigned to you. And I want you to evangelistically serve Him—in the church, at home, at work, at school, and on the streets—with great joy. And I want to help you in this last area, your evangelistic service to Him, with my whole heart. I ask that you not judge this book by its cover. At the same time, I ask that you do not, please do not, read this book with an open mind. Read this book with an open Bible. I hope the presupposition you bring to this book and everything else you read is a simple one: “The Bible is true regardless of what I think or believe. I can be wrong; Tony can be wrong; but the Word of God is never wrong.” So, read this book to the very end with an eye on the Scriptures, with humility of mind, with a prayerful heart, while desiring to be conformed to the image of God’s Son—Jesus Christ, the Lord.

Words In Season: On Sharing the Hope that is Within


Leon Brown - 2013
    Emphasis is on the privilege individual Christians have to share the hope that is within us, while highlighting the importance of the local church as a gospel-driven organism.

Although this message does not change, our ability to convey it does. The question is, “How can Christians take advantage of sharing that hope that is within us while utilizing the good gifts God provides?” With discussion questions at the end of each chapter, Words in Season offers an avenue to help Christians understand why and how they can be witnesses of the gospel for the glory of God.
