What is baptism, and why is it significant? This book answers these questions by offering baptism as a life-giving prism through which we can view the entirety of our Christian experience. Far from being a staid ritual, baptism, whatever its form, gives each person, each local church, and the church as a whole a common source of identity and purpose. Drawing on a lifetime of pastoral experience and scholarship, Dr. Shoemaker explores the spectrum of meanings present in our own baptisms and offers a wealth of ideas for church leaders as they prepare times of worship centered around this ...

This short 19th-century book explores the evolution of the belief in the Devil, including historical, cultural, and religious influences. Who is this character Satan? Is he an adversary of man working on behalf of the Divine? Is he the archenemy of God, a hideous personification of the worst evil? Does the Devil truly exist, or is this a convenient way to rid humans of personal responsibility for their own evil inclinations? Revisiting the witch burnings in the Middle Ages—justified by alleged allegiance to a dark lord—the author questions the efficacy of such a belief.

"When I finished putting together Volume 17 of my “Collected Writings” series (preface dated April 26, 2019), I did not know if that would be the end of it or not. I had surveyed all of my older, shorter writings and selected everything I wanted to include in the series, and was satisfied to leave it at that. So where did this Volume 18 come from? Well, the fact is that every one of the essays or studies included here were written since Volume 17 was completed! Most were produced in 2020.... It is obvious that I did not set out to produce a series of essays or lessons on a single theme ...

Are We Sure We Know God? The question is sometimes answered, "Sure, I know God." And if most children were asked if they know their mommies and daddies, likewise, they might reply, "Yes." And most parents would agree that they do, but only in a child's perspective. Could that be how most of us know God? Since the Bible speaks of knowing God as essential for gaining eternal life, wouldn't it make sense to spend time getting to know Him better? Especially since God's enemy has distorted our view of Him by twisting His requirements into impossibilities.

Der große Theologe, Arzt und Musiker Albert Schweitzer veröffentlichte seine "Gespräche über das Neue Testament" in den Jahren 1901 bis 1904, als er Privatdozent in Straßburg war, in der kleinen Zeitung Evangelisch-protestantischer Kirchenbote für Elsass-Lothringen. Gemeinsames Ziel der 33 kurzen, predigtähnlichen Texte ist es, eine Anleitung zu geben, "wie ein erwachsener Christ selbständig für sich die Bibel lesen soll".

This is Volume 2 on the general subject of salvation. Volume 1 covered mostly some essays related to salvation by grace. The preface for that volume introduces the subject as follows:When I was sorting out all the smaller writings I have produced over the decades, I was a bit surprised at how many of them fall under the subject of salvation. When measured by volume, there is almost twice as much material on this subject as on any of the other subjects. This means that there will be two volumes under the title, God’s Amazing Salvation.I guess I should not have been surprised at all, since ...

When is the rapture of the church and will christians go through the tribulation? Paul told us to eagerly await the rapture.

We are told in the scriptures that the rapture is imminent, that we will not suffer God’s wrath as Jesus promised himself, and that the rapture could happen any day now. The rapture is a fascinating subject, and there has always been a debate about whether the rapture is before the 7-year tribulation, during it or at the end. Here’s what you’ll learn in this book with study ...

Hagars Leben ist auf den ersten Blick nicht sehr erbaulich. Die Erzählung aus Genesis 16 ist vielmehr eine Geschichte vom Bodensatz des Lebens. Ausgegraben aus dem Schlick und Schlamm menschlicher Erfahrung. Es geht um Flucht und Patriarchat, um sexuelle Ausbeutung und toxische Beziehung, um Sehnsucht und Trauma, Verzweiflung und Egoismus, um Macht und Gewalt, Unrecht und Neid. Und um eine unbändige Sehnsucht nach Freiheit. Sebastian Rink legt die Erzählung von Hagar neu aus.

Many books have been written about how to live a happier and more fulfilling life, but only one has the true solution: The Bible. Of course, we live in a fallen world, so we can never find true happiness here – true happiness will only be found in Heaven. But God loves us, and therefore God wants us to find contentment while we are here. And because He wants joy for us, He has told us how to find it. In the Bible, God has given us everything we need to know about living a life of contentment. Rather than advocating any particular person’s theory, the emphasis in this book is on what the...

ities are a blessing, not a curse. I would say, “Cities were a tool of God’s grace to help mankind deal with sin’s consequences”. Within the context of the first chapters of Genesis, cities are portrayed with an attitude of self-sufficiency, corruption, and rebellion. But the design of city living is clearly of God. John Dawson wrote[1]: Many Christians think cities are by nature evil places. If they were asked, they would say the city is a curse, not a blessing. However, that is not God's view. After all, the human story begins in a garden and ends in a city. I believe God intends ...
