Is being good the way to heaven? Being religious? Jesus said, “You must be born again.” John Wesley, spiritual forefather of Methodist, Pentecostal, and Holiness churches and the Salvation Army, explains Jesus’ words in this brief classic. One of the standard sermons Wesley required his circuit riders to learn and re-preach, The New Birth shows that religion and morality are good but new life in Jesus is vital. Wesley pulls no punches. But his 18th-century English is hard for most modern readers. As with his best-selling John Wesley’s The Character of a Methodist, David Wentz has ...

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus Christ said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” What might that have meant to His first audience on that day? They certainly had a different definition of what it meant to be poor, compared to ourselves. Once we understand what they would have thought about financial poverty, we'll be in a good place to think about its parallel: spiritual poverty. This encouraging message of Gospel invitation will be a help to your own spirit.

Delve into a verse by verse study of the book of Romans from a prophetic perspective. An expositional study (verse by verse, chapter by chapter) of the book of Romans gives the reader access to a level of narrative and inspiration than the more common topical study. In studying the scriptures in this way, we rely not only on scholarship but on the precious commodity of the anointing from a prophetic perspective. This resource will serve you well as a devotional tool that will deepen your love of God's word and draw you out into the rarified atmosphere of revelatory study of the scripture.

The Orthodox Understanding of Salvation brings together some of Dr. Veniamin’s talks and articles, hitherto available in relatively little-known theological journals and periodicals, which pertain to the fundamental question of the purpose of human existence, to Salvation, as understood in the age-old and unbroken tradition of the Orthodox Christian Faith - the faith of the Patriarchs, Prophets, Apostles, Martyrs and Saints of our Lord, God and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

On the Saints is the third volume in the series Sermons by Saint Gregory Palamas, in which the saints of both the Old and New Testaments are presented for the encouragement and edification of the faithful.

Mary the Mother of God, the first volume in the series Sermons by Saint Gregory Palamas, is a collection of some of the greatest homilies on the Theotokos ever written, including the most celebrated of all Palamas’ writings, his sermon “On the Entry of the Mother of God into the Holy of Holies”.

In his Ecclesial Being Professor Constantine Scouteris focuses most ably on the mystery of the human person in the context of the conciliarity of the Church. His vision of the unity of the Orthodox churches, based on the Pauline theme of the New Israel, embraces all Orthodox Christian peoples - wonderfully diverse in language and culture - as one nation in Christ, which the entire world is invited to join.

Miracles of the Lord is the fifth volume in the series Sermons by Saint Gregory Palamas, and covers the Healing of the Paralysed Man in Capernaum, the Raising of Lazarus, the Healing of the Blind Men, the Raising of the Widows Child, the Healing of the Man Possessed by Devils, and the Healing of the Ten Lepers.

Jesus quoted Hosea in saying, "I desire mercy and not sacrifice." The prophet Samuel similarly told King Saul, "To obey is better than sacrifice. In fact, an attentive read through the Old Testament will show that there are a lot of things better than sacrifice. What was the role of Old Testament sacrifices? How does that affect our understanding of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross? Pavao forces us to look at verses we gloss over because they contradict our understanding of the purpose of the Jewish sacrificial system. Have you ever considered that God once said: I didn’t speak to your ...

Have you ever encountered a Christian whose representation of God struck you as – cruel? In all likelihood, that Christian was Reformed. Christian thought is varied, but among those Christians who take their Bibles seriously, there are two main threads of Christian thought. One is the Calvinist (also called Reformed) camp. It is named after John Calvin, a 16th century French theologian. The other camp is the Arminian camp, named after Jacobus Arminius, a Dutch theologian who lived shortly after Calvin. Christians have been arguing over these two competing views for centuries. Often, non-...

The peace Jesus offers us is more than just words. It's healing for our hurts and calm for our troubled hearts. It's love and acceptance when others misunderstand us and push us away. It's the freedom of a new identity in Him, defined not by how good we are but by how good He is.

One of the theological mysteries that every Christian who wrestles with doctrine faces is the tension between predestination and free will. Christians have been arguing over this since the 4th century, with some churches stressing the sovereign work of God and others stressing the free will of man. In this chapter taken from the book "Solid Ground", Mr. Clay explores part of this conflict and attempts to resolve it from a look at what the Bible says on both sides of the issue. Mr. Clay explains that he believes both sides have part of the truth and need to see the entire truth partially ...

This 39 page article is for you if you are baffled. What is Calvinism? What's with the debate between Calvinism and Arminianism? Maybe you've heard the name of John Calvin attached to a theology that sounded cold, monstrous, illogical, unbiblical, or cruel. Maybe Calvinists haven't been helpful in the task of understanding Calvinism! It's time to get some clarification. If you've been burned by all the heat surrounding the debate over things like predestination and election, Reformed theology, or the TULIP of Calvinism, maybe it's time for straightforward facts, without all the hysteria. ...
