Beschreibung

How Christians Can Rediscover the Beauty and Glory of the Church
Dear. Precious. Lovely. The Bible describes the church in extraordinary ways, even using beautiful poetry and metaphors. How does this compare to how Christians today describe the church? Unfortunately, many believers focus more on its mission, structure, or specific programs than on its inherent beauty. It's time to spark a renewed affection for the church.
In this concise version of The Loveliest Place, Dustin Benge urges Christians to see the holy assembly of God's redeemed people in all its eternal beauty. He explains what makes the church lovely, including the Trinitarian relationship, worship, service, and gospel proclamation. For those who have never learned to view the church as God sees it, or have become disillusioned by its flaws, this book is a reminder that the corporate gathering of believers is a reflection of God's indescribable beauty.

- Concise and Accessible: Dr. Dustin Benge examines what the church is and why it exists
- Full Version also Available: Why Should We Love the Local Church? is the concise version of The Loveliest Place
- Part of the Union Series: Inviting readers to experience deeper enjoyment of God; other volumes include Rejoice and Tremble, Deeper, and The Loveliest Place
- Looks Beyond Methodology: Focuses on the beauty, not just the biblical function, of the church

    An Introduction to the Theology and Themes of 2 Corinthians by Dane C. Ortlund  Best known for its interpersonal, emotionally raw, and pastorally distressed tone, 2 Corinthians is one of Paul’s most distinctive epistles. In this letter to his complicated church in Corinth, Paul aims to expand on the deeply paradoxical nature of the Christian life. The importance of understanding this key doctrine makes 2 Corinthians an ideal study for believers today.   In this volume of the New Testament Theology series, bestselling author Dane Ortlund explores 2 Corinthians to reveal the core arguments presented by Paul. Through clear and engaging theological examinations, Ortlund expounds two predominant themes―inaugurated eschatology and strength through weakness―and connects various other motifs traced throughout this epistle. Readers will learn how Christ’s resurrection ushered in the new realm―one where life and ministry are flipped upside down, and God’s power is intertwined with human weakness.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    The enemies of your destiny are things that have the potential to stop God’s divine purpose for your life. Often, people are always afraid of the enemies without, and not the enemies within. The enemies without are things out there, such as witches, powers of darkness, and cosmic powers. While the enemies within are the things we neglect to deal with in our personal lives. Many people, even Christians, spend most of their time blaming the devil in their lives. Of course, the devil is our greatest enemy of all time. However, Jesus has overcome Him for us on the cross. Hence, instead of focusing on the devil, let us focus on Jesus. 
    The enemies within are the very strongholds of the enemies without—the devil and his cohorts. However, the devil can’t overcome you if only you can take charge of the enemies within. The enemies within include fear, ignorance, laziness, disobedience, unbelief, sin, pride, and much more to mention. Friends, we don’t need to be ignorant of our authority over the devil in Christ Jesus. Let us move from spiritual blindness to spiritual enlightenment! You and I are born to dominate! 
    Get this book! You will scale greater heights of dominion over all the enemies of your soul and destiny in Christ Jesus. God bless you!!

    'OSHO SINGLE': This is a short audio talk by Osho, selected from one of the many series of Osho Talks to listeners from around the world.
    The word Christ came into existence 300 years after Jesus; and out of the word Christ developed Christian and Christianity. While Friedrich Nietzsche stated that Christ was the last Christian, according to Osho, Jesus was not only the last Christian, but he was also the first Christian–the first and the last Christian, because in this world no individual is ever repeated.
    In this talk, Osho dives into the unknown history of Jesus and early Christianity in India, which he describes as the oldest in the world. The Vatican is a late development. Like a lecture in comparative religion, Osho presents Christianity in a wider context of Hinduism, Buddhism, and even Zen.
