Il existe plusieurs livres pour nous aider avec l’étude de la Bible, la prière, le service ou l’évangélisation, mais peu pour nous aider à chanter. Ce domaine mérite de recevoir autant d’attention ; il est même lié à l’épanouissement de ces autres sphères de notre vie spirituelle. Keith et Kristyn Getty présentent le chant comme un aspect vital de notre communion avec Dieu. Ils nous donnent des conseils bibliques, pratiques et centrés sur l’Évangile pour promouvoir le chant et l’adoration dans l’Église ainsi que dans notre vie personnelle et familiale.

Uncovering the Myth of Spiritual Covering is adapted from a chapter of the widely disseminated book, Charismatic Captivation - Authoritarian Abuse & Psychological Enslavement in Neo-Pentecostal Churches. That book exposes the widespread problem of authoritarian abuse that has been flourishing virtually unabated for decades since it was first infused into the very fabric, foundation, and functions of the Charismatic/Neo-Pentecostal church during the false movement known as the Discipleship/Shepherding Movement (1970-77).

Our role as Judeo-Christian believers to our nation under God. A look at the nation of Israel through the Bible and the Levitical priesthood. And how it applies to us today.

Who is Jesus? And why does the church He started matter today? The answers to these questions are practical, profound, and liberating - and also inextricably connected. The closer you get to Jesus, the more you love people; and the more you love people, the more you become like Jesus. Drawing on biblical teaching and over 45 years of ministry experience, Pastor Mel Mullen brings clear, practical understanding to Jesus’ message and the community of Jesus-followers we call the church.

The evangelical church is hemorrhaging. Over 40 million Americans have dechurched in the last 25 years alone, and multiple generations have been raised to believe the most spiritual thing they can do is follow God by following their heart—right out of the church. Yet, this shift is happening right as society is hitting record levels of loneliness, stress, and anxiety. In The Reason for Church, pastor Brad Edwards connects the dots of our current church crisis and provides compelling reasons to come back.

The reality that rampant dysfunction exists in evangelical churches today should be no mystery when one recognizes that churches typically fail to function according to the metaphor of Christ as the head of the body. Through this metaphor we can observe how dysfunction can be avoided by cultivating several types of functionality that God included in the human body. This book outlines five types of functionality that operate in the human body releasing it to fully express the character of the head: unified functionality, distinctive functionality, systemic functionality, expressive ...

"This volume takes us to the end of the various subjects that form the full scope of systematic theology. We began with the concept of theology as such (truth, sound doctrine, bibliology), and now we have come to eschatology (the end times). In between we have covered theology proper (the doctrine of God), anthropology (the doctrines of man and sin), Christology (the person and work of Christ), pneumatology (the doctrine of the Holy Spirit), soteriology (the doctrine of salvation), and ecclesiology (the doctrine of the church).So far, in the first eleven volumes of this series, I have not ...

Comment peut-on définir l’Église ? Lorsqu’on mentionne le mot « Église », beaucoup de gens pensent à un bâtiment. D’autres l’associent à une dénomination chrétienne en particulier. Mais l’Église est bien plus que cela. Dans ce petit livre, R. C. Sproul explique que l’Église ne fait pas référence à un bâtiment, mais à un groupe de personnes appartenant à la famille universelle de Dieu et appelées à vivre des vies qui le glorifient.

Discover the Secret to Turning the World Upside Down! Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said… “that they may be one just as We are one.” (John 17:1, 22) Division feeds powerlessness. The longer the church remains divided and disconnected from each other, the longer it will take to accomplish the work Jesus has assigned us to do. You may be thinking, “I’m just one person. What can I do to bring God’s people together and promote unity in the body of Christ?” Joey LeTourneau’s book shows you how to: Become a catalyst that releases uncommon unity in your...

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.

Jesus loves the sheep he leads, and he leads the sheep he loves. For most pastors, shepherding a local church is far more than their day job. The local church signifies the place a pastor’s heart loves to be, even though leading a church often involves more than a little suffering. In Shepherd & Sheep, Benjamin Vrbicek gives color and texture to one pastor’s love for the church. The twenty-five essays in this book first appeared in places such as Christianity Today, The Gospel Coalition, 9Marks, For The Church, Gospel-Centered Discipleship, and Desiring God. Excerpt Despite the ...

The modern church is falling apart at the seams. We have abandoned the practice of the sufficiency of Scripture. Instead of following the pattern of Scripture, we have evolved, morphed, and adjusted in order to keep up with the culture. We have done so to the point that the church in the last century would be unrecognizable to the church of the last 2,000 years. The focus of the church in our current cultural climate should be reformation. We should stop trying to integrate the ways of a collapsing culture into our practices in order to draw people. We should stop trying to force revival to...

Like a fresh wind in the heat of a summer day, this masterpiece of a book will surely refresh the spirits of true disciples of Jesus and bring understanding to the body of Christ in this hour. As with many of Bert’s books, wisdom screams out to us from these golden pages and acts as another plumb line to those who cannot be bought by the religious systems of this world, which tend to be confined by its fleshly restrictions and the limitations of the mere wisdom of man, human thinking, and human agendas. The true disciples of Jesus are losing their taste for the shallow and superficial, ...

The fuse has been burning in Syria for five years. Now the powder keg is about to explode! Isaiah 17 predicts the destruction of Damascus, Syria. Isa 17:1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. Now more than ever it is important for Christians to be alert to the bible prophecy that is unfolding in Syria. For that reason I have edited and compiled all of my commentaries about Syria into this one book. These commentaries appear throughout several of my other books. This book contains everything that you need to know about ...

Is het volgen van de livestream van een kerkdienst voor een christen niet voldoende? Is het nog wel de moeite waard je bij een plaatselijke gemeente aan te sluiten? Is het echt zo belangrijk om iedere week samen te komen? Collin Hansen en Jonathan Leeman gaan op deze vragen in. Herontdekking gaat over onderwerpen als de bedoeling van de gemeente, het belang van de preek, het lidmaatschap, de tucht en hoe we leden kunnen liefhebben die zo heel anders zijn dan wij. Jij hebt anderen nodig (en anderen hebben jou nodig) om christen te zijn.

Being miraculously normal is reflected in a being who is loving, caring, forgiving, enduring, and living in this present world. This book is the third in this series forming a trilogy and expounds on the Lord’s prayer in John 17 for all his people to become one - as one as the father and the son are one. In his prayer, he gave three gifts to accomplish the oneness of his people: eternal life, truth and his glory. When previously divided, even hostile people can become one in this present conflicting and confusing age.

The Church Is Flat is the first significant, researched study into the ecclesiology of the emerging church movement.

Tony Jones visited eight emerging church congregations (Cedar Ridge Community Church, Pathways Church, Vintage Faith Church, Journey Church, Solomon's Porch, House of Mercy, Church of the Apostles, and Jacob's Well), facilitating interviews, focus groups, and surveys. After interpreting ...

This book is the sixth of seven in the series that explores each of the seven principle metaphors God employed in defining the nature and functioning of the Church. Imagining the King's bride looks back to how key women in the pages of scripture serve as prophetic types of the character and heart God desires to wed to his Son as his bride.

La vérité est attaquée en ce moment, et beaucoup de choses sont en jeu. De nombreux chrétiens pratiquants suivent innocemment le contre-courant d'enseignements et d'écrits qui soutiennent des histoires chrétiennes de rechange et de fausses idéologies émergentes.
