The global humanitarian system, already under considerable strain, will soon be tested as never before.

As the King's young cousin, an admired scholar living in Italy, it falls to Reginald Pole to make the case for Henry's divorce from Katherine of Aragon. And it falls to the hapless Michael Throckmorton - the younger son of an impecunious titled family - to become Thomas Cromwell's messenger to Pole in Rome.

Jesus called his followers to share his message with others. ‘The Holy Spirit will testify about me, but you also must testify, because you have been with me.’ (John 15:26-27) His message, his ‘good news’, being his own name and person: ‘God with us.’ (Matthew 1:23) God has come. His name is Jesus Christ. He paid for our sin by his own death. He came back to life. He calls us to turn away from our sin, to believe in him. If we do this, we will be forgiven, and live forever with God. This is the message that messengers brought to you and me. And this is the message that we are to...

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. (Psalm 139:7-10)

En este breve libro trabajo en orden inverso. Empiezo compartiendo qué hago ahora al tratar con las sectas, y luego voy atrás para explicar cómo llegué a eso a través de los años. Comparto algunas experiencias personales y versículos clave, que me han ayudado a crecer en esta área y a tener una base para tratar con las sectas. Me centro principalmente en el error central y común de todas, es decir, negar la verdadera identidad de Jesús y, por tanto, el verdadero mensaje del Evangelio. (2 Corintios 11:4) La verdadera identidad de Jesús es lo que se niega en todas las sectas (y en ...

¿Has perdido tu camino? ¿Tuviste una verdadera fe en Jesús en algún momento, pero ahora te encuentras distanciado? Jesús conoce tu camino. Conoce tu historia. Te ama y te llama de vuelta a casa. ‘Todavía estaba lejos cuando su padre lo vio y se compadeció de él; salió corriendo a su encuentro, lo abrazó y lo besó.’ (Lucas 15:20) Peter Walker y su familia viven en Carolina del Norte, Estados Unidos.

Incluso el nombre ‘escuela media’ te hace sentir como si no estuvieras aquí, ni allí, ¡estás en el medio! Sin embargo, la verdad es que la secundaria no está en ‘segundo lugar’, ¡es un lugar muy importante por derecho propio! Y esta etapa de tu vida (tu edad, tus amigos, tus sentimientos) también es muy importante. Espero que disfrutes leyendo estas reflexiones devocionales, y que crezcas en 3 aspectos clave: 1) Que conozcas mejor a Jesús; 2) Que sientas más paz y felicidad en tu amistad con Jesús; 3) Que aprendas algunas maneras de compartir a Jesús con tus amigos –no ...

El propósito de la vida, para todo hombre, mujer y niño, es alcanzar y encontrar a Dios. Conocerle, ahora y siempre. ‘Dios creó a todos los hombres para que lo buscaran, lo alcanzaran y lo encontraran’. (Hechos 17:25-27) Y este último versículo termina diciendo: ‘Él no está lejos de cada uno de nosotros.’ ¿Ha llegado a tu vida la hora de que busques a Dios y lo encuentres? ¿Ha llegado el momento de hacer las paces con Dios, ahora y siempre? Jesús dijo: ‘Yo soy la puerta...’ (Juan 10:9) Peter Walker y su familia viven en Carolina del Norte, Estados Unidos. Para más ...

El corazón puede romperse de muchas maneras y por muchas razones. Sin embargo, en este breve folleto te escribo a ti, que has sido herido por – contra quien ha pecado, de quien se ha aprovechado – otra persona. Me dirijo a los abusados. El corazón roto al que espero hablar es al que le fue robado algo, y ahora le cuesta esperar, sentir, creer. Jesús te ama. Él está contigo. Él persigue y juzgará al que te hizo daño. No sólo pedirá cuentas a tu agresor, sino que en este mismo momento Jesús anhela derramar Su Espíritu sanador sobre ti y darte un ‘corazón nuevo y un ...

It is 1967, and as America's allies hesitate over whether to send more troops to Vietnam, and the strains of "All You Need is Love" echo from Abbey Road, students take to the streets of Wellington, New Zealand, to protest the war. Among them are Race, Candy, Chadwick, and FitzGerald, and their elusive, electrifying friend Morgan Tawhai. They are young and hopeful, and the world is all before them. Forty years later, in Washington, DC, Race's son Toby is navigating his own path across a landscape still trembling with the reverberations of 9/11.

A father’s acceptance. A father’s delight in you. Listen, whether your father gives you this or not, it doesn’t change your true worth, the true you. Jesus said, ‘Do not call anyone no earth ‘father’, for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.’ (Matthew 23:9) You might have some DNA from an earthly parent, but that is surface stuff. The real stuff is that you have been ‘made in the image of God’, and that he has put eternity in your heart. The deep truth about you comes from the throne room of your Creator, your Father in heaven. And your true and ‘secret’ name will...

I remember when I was six years old and saying goodbye to a friend. Our family was moving country. We had everything packed and the car engine running. This buddy came running out and handed me his prized keychain as a gift. I knew it was his favorite of all time – a little Lego man on a chain. Our friendship meant more to him than his favorite thing, so he gave me the thing to make sure I knew that. Jesus had an amazing experience like this one time. It was shortly before his death, and a woman named Mary sensed this. Jesus had meant a lot to this woman; he had forgiven her sins and had ...

Elias Girawong, Earth Wizard and knowledge keeper, must act. His ceremony, calling the thirteen, heralds a long overdue change to shake the foundations of life itself. But there are those who covet power beyond reason. Each of the thirteen "called" have their assigned roles. Each of them must travel to join the circle of thirteen. Each of them must face the challenge of their journey and the will and power of those who would thwart them.

Introduction: Ruins fascinate me. Especially castles and palaces where someone arrogant once ruled, once roared, but now cannot even whisper. They cannot stop even the fading of their memory amongst the living. Memory, only a thing in the minds of mortals, and all mortals destined to die. I’ve heard death described as ‘humiliating’ to mankind. It just happens – heart, mind and body – and there is nothing anyone can do about it. And no matter how high the towers you built, the tomes of wisdom you published, the vaults of money you had or gave away, you disintegrate and disperse ...

Each of these ‘thoughts’ is only a starting point. I trust that you, the reader, can go beyond them, deeper into Spirit. ‘All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are found in Christ.’ (Colossians 2:3) Peter Walker and his family live in NC, USA.

I was at a gas station sharing verse cards and booklets with people. It was a windy day but the rain was holding off… A guy that looked homeless to me went into the station, bought a cup of coffee, and came back outside and stood next to me. His name was Tim. Turns out he was not homeless, and he was, in fact, quite wealthy. He loved Jesus. He spoke to me in very simple, spiritual terms. One thing he said to me was: ‘Before you were born, Jesus said what you would do, and who you would be!’ Two key things that Tim put down here in faith for me, for you: 1. Your God-Given Path: God has...

Let’s start by talking about ‘groups’ in life. And when I say groups, I mean friend groups, working groups, gangs, sororities, frats, Freemasons, book clubs, committees, church groups, tennis clubs, country clubs, etc. Groups don’t really exist. I mean, they are a thing, of course, but a fabricated thing. Held together by people’s notions. Take for example that friend group you had a few years ago, where is it now? Or that BFF from school? Or that project group that were ‘so close’? I don’t mean to be cynical here. Not at all. Just trying to get back to those elements in ...
