Making conscientious choices about technology in our families is more than just using Internet filters and determining screen time limits for our children. It's about developing wisdom, character, and courage in the way we use digital media rather than accepting technology's promises of ease, instant gratification, and the world's knowledge at our fingertips. And it's definitely not just about the kids.

As a pastor in Silicon Valley, Jay Kim has experienced the digital church in all its splendor. In Analog Church, he grapples with the ramifications of a digital church, from our worship and experience of Christian community to the way we engage Scripture and sacrament. Could it be that in our efforts to stay relevant in our digital age, we've begun to give away the very thing that our age most desperately needs: transcendence? Could it be that the best way to reach new generations is in fact found in a more timeless path?

We live in a world full of shiny distractions, faced with an onslaught of viral media constantly competing for our attention and demanding our affections. These ever-present visual "spectacles" can quickly erode our hearts, making it more difficult than ever to walk through life actively treasuring that which is most important and yet invisible: Jesus Christ. In a journalistic style, Tony Reinke shows us just how distracting these spectacles in our lives have become, and calls us to ask critical questions about what we're focusing on.

Is there a God? If so, does God care about us? Or is human life a mere accident of physics? For centuries these fundamental questions have been integral to every culture and religion the world has known - and have not been answered, save by faith. When it comes to finding answers about how the universe came into existence, "God" is simply another theory. A theory that, many say, is no longer needed.

Flickering pixels are the tiny dots of light that make up the screens of life - from TVs to cell phones. They are nearly invisible, but they change us. In this provocative audiobook, author Shane Hipps takes listeners beneath the surface of things to see how the technologies we use end up using us. Not all is dire, however, as Hipps shows us that hidden things have far less power to shape us when they aren't hidden anymore. We are only puppets of our technology if we remain asleep. Flickering Pixels will wake us up - and nothing will look the same again.

No other passages in scripture have been more talked about in end-time Bible prophecy than those dealing with the mark of the Beast. Revelation 13:18 adds to the horror by posing the Bible's most mysterious riddle.

In this Magi Report, the riddle is decoded and examined phrase by phrase.

The Great Depression, divorced parents, living in poverty, World War II, the death of a child, divorce, etc.—commonly known occurrences many individuals in American history have faced.

Have you ever imagined any relationship of any relevance between similar or same species without some level of engagement in words thoughts or deeds? How can a loving creator of relationships and the creator of us all not build a God to god conversation between him and us? We are wired to have supernatural-to-supernatural engagement with the spirit realm from where we came and where we will eventually return.

The baptism with the Holy Spirit is a misunderstood topic even among saved, Bible-believing Christians. It has divided churches into factions and torn brothers and sisters apart. Now, why is that? What is responsible for this? What are the hindrances? Why are we allowing the greatest power available to us just by asking to become such a dividing force?

Prayer is not natural to us. Our natural inclination is to depend on ourselves. Some of us have not learned how to pray. Others do not pray enough to be comfortable with it. Still others do not understand enough of God's Word to pray biblically and get results. Whatever the case, we have no excuse not to pray. The Holy Spirit who lives within us can clarify, correct, and change our prayers so that by the time it reaches God it is all sorted out.
