The Antichrist

A.W. Pink

Beschreibung

In "The Antichrist," A.W. Pink meticulously examines the theological and eschatological implications of the figure known as the Antichrist, presenting a compelling narrative that intertwines scriptural analysis with historical context. The book is characterized by Pink's distinctive style, which combines rigorous exegetical standards with a pastoral sensitivity, making complex biblical concepts accessible to both lay readers and scholars. Drawing extensively from both the Old and New Testaments, Pink crafts an intricate portrait of the Antichrist, exploring various interpretations throughout church history and their relevance to contemporary faith. A.W. Pink, a prominent theologian and writer of the early 20th century, was deeply influenced by the dispensationalist movement and his own rich scriptural study, which ultimately informed his reflections on eschatology. His commitment to biblical truth and conviction that the Church must be vigilant in understanding prophetic scripture drove him to engage with the topic of the Antichrist. Pink's passionate writings have resonated with many, evidenced by his lasting impact on Reformed theology and Christian literature. "The Antichrist" is essential reading for those seeking a deeper understanding of biblical prophecy and its implications for modern faith. Whether you are a theologian, a student of the Bible, or simply curious about eschatological themes, Pink's insightful discourse offers profound wisdom and encourages critical reflection on the nature of evil in the world, making it an invaluable addition to any theological library.

Luke - Believers Church Bible...

Mary H. Schertz

Luke is a gospel of joy, amazement, and warmth. From the jubilant birth narrative and Magnificat at the beginning to the wonder of the ascension at the end, Luke offers a matchless portrait of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and those who followed him.In the 36th volume in the Believers Church Bible Commentary series, New Testament scholar Mary H. Schertz helps readers inhabit the pages of the third gospel, replete with parables and paradoxes and ministries of mercy. In vibrant writing and with careful exegesis, Schertz invites readers to investigate for themselves the surprise, light, and awe of the kingdom of God, in which people find healing, the marginalized find welcome, and the poor find flourishing. Schertz traces the motifs of holy warrior and suffering servant that confronted every first-century Jew, including Jesus, and that still shape the church today. Through it all, Luke demonstrates both the cost of the kingdom and the exuberance of a life lived in loyalty to Jesus and the strength of the Spirit.About the Believers Church Bible Commentary seriesThis readable commentary series is for all who seek more fully to understand the original message of Scripture and its meaning for today—Sunday school teachers, members of Bible study groups, students, pastors, and other seekers.—From the Series Forword

Family Discipleship That Works -...

Brian Dembowczyk

Christianity Today Book Awards Finalist—Marriage, Family, and Singleness
Family discipleship is one of the most basic ways God has ordained to build his kingdom—and yet most parents struggle to do it consistently.
Amid our busyness, the multitude of different approaches, and our own self-doubts, the deck seems stacked against us. But Brian Dembowczyk isn't here to pile on the guilt or to make us feel like failures. As a parent himself, he knows this struggle firsthand.
In Family Discipleship That Works, Dembowczyk says that the goal of discipling our kids isn't just passing along head knowledge. It's teaching them to act like Jesus. The Bible itself is not just a story but a drama in which we ourselves participate, and our kids have roles to play too. Dembowczyk offers practical advice and a wealth of ideas for teaching our kids to imitate the character traits of Jesus himself as we "act out" the Christian life together.
As parents, we are indeed called to disciple our children to know and act like Jesus. By God's grace, that's a task we can do—not out of guilt but with joy and good hope.
Family Discipleship That Works . . .

- Invites parents into more active family discipleship without judgmentalism, but with grace and understanding
- Presents "imitating Jesus" as a new model for understanding and enacting family discipleship
- Includes practical, achievable advice for parents to live out these principles in their homes

Habits of the Mind -...

James W. Sire

A Christianity Today Book Award Winner
What does it mean to love God with your mind? Can the intellectual life be a legitimate Christian calling?
In this deeply personal book, James Sire brings wit and wisdom to bear on these questions. He draws from his own experience and the life of John Henry Newman to explore how to think well for the glory of God and the sake of his kingdom. Habits of the Mind challenges you to avoid one of the greatest pitfalls of intellectual life: the temptation to separate being from knowing. Sire shows how to cultivate intellectual virtues and disciplines—habits of the mind—that will strengthen you in pursuit of your calling. Thinking well is integral to acting righteously. Sire offers assurance that intellectual life can be a true calling for Christians: because Jesus was the smartest man who ever lived, you can and should accept the challenge to think with more accuracy, wisdom, humility, and passion. This classic work is now available as part of the IVP Signature Collection, which features special editions of iconic books in celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of InterVarsity Press.

Mental Health and Your Church -...

Dr. Steve Migdley, Helen Thorne

Helping you and the whole church family understand, nurture, and support those with mental-health conditions.  Many people are struggling with mental-health conditions, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and life in our image-conscious culture. Statistics tell us that, worldwide, one in six of us will have experienced a mental-health struggle in the past week, and serious depression is the second-leading cause of disability (Mental Health Foundation).  That means there are brothers and sisters in our church families battling with thoughts, feelings, impulses, and even voices that distract, drag down, and nudge them towards despair. But when it comes to helping, it can be tricky to know where to begin, especially if we have very little knowledge of mental illnesses and are afraid of making things worse by saying and doing the wrong things.  This wise, compassionate, and practical book is written by Steve Midgley, psychiatrist and Executive Director of Biblical Counselling UK, and Helen Thorne, Director of Training and Resources at Biblical Counselling UK. It will help readers understand and respond with biblical wisdom to people who are struggling with their mental health.  While acknowledging the importance of liaising responsibly with medics and counsellors, this book focuses on equipping readers to play their part in making churches places where those who struggle with mental-health conditions are welcomed, understood, nurtured, and supported: a foretaste of the new creation.  This is a useful book for anyone who cares for others pastorally: pastors, elders, small-group leaders, and congregation members.
