The Appearing of God Our Savior - A Theology of 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus

Claire S. Smith

Sinopse

An Introduction to the Theology and Themes of 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus
The letters of 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus were written by Paul to trusted coworkers toward the end of his apostolic ministry. As Paul's delegates, they were to teach and defend the truth, model godly living, and ensure that godly church leadership was in place. But these letters are more than just a how-to guide for ministry.
In this volume of the New Testament Theology series, Claire Smith explores the central themes and theology of each letter, which consistently focus on God's eternal plan in Christ to save a people for himself. Emphasizing that we live between the two appearings of Christ Jesus in history, Smith encourages readers to live in this present time as God's household (1 Timothy), how to endure suffering as believers (2 Timothy), and how to live in an unbelieving world (Titus).

- Part of the New Testament Theology Series: Other volumes include To Walk and to Please God; Ministry in the New Realm; United to Christ; and more 
- Resource for Church Leaders: Explores 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus, written to guide church leaders toward authentic and gospel-centered ministry

The Exorcism Files - True...

Adam Blai

Drawing from his extensive experience in assisting with cases of demonic oppression and possession, in The Exorcism Files, Adam Blai presents listeners with enlightening true stories and traces their causation. Whether people provided a gateway through Ouija boards or tarot cards, Blai reports from firsthand observation how they were lured into the occult. 
 
 
 
Blai also recounts shocking cases of participation in covens and cults under the guise of knowledge, empowerment, and liberation. This is sometimes accompanied by crimes and hauntings, which Blai also documents. An essential guide for our time, The Exorcism Files reveals numerous striking truths about the supernatural, including: the key signs of diabolic possession—and how they differ from those of oppression; how dabbling in the occult opens the door to evil; why the devil most intently attacks priestly and religious vocations; how evil can manifest itself in physical objects or symptoms; why only priests, with their bishops' permission, should perform the old solemn rite of exorcism; and how engaging in mind control and ghost hunting is flirting with evil. 
 
 
 
Blai demonstrates that there is a supernatural enemy in this world who is trying to destroy us. Our defenses are the Precious Blood of Jesus, the sacraments of the Catholic Church, Holy Scripture, and Church Tradition.
