  Redeeming Productivity - Getting...

  Feeling overwhelmed and unproductive? The answer isn’t to do more.What image forms in your mind when you think of productivity? An assembly line? Spreadsheets? Business suits or workplace uniforms? In the ancient world, productivity didn't conjure images like these. Instead, it referred to crop yield and fruit bearing. This agrarian imagery helps us understand productivity through a biblical lens. Jesus taught, By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit (John 15:8). Who doesn’t want to have a truly productive life—to bear much fruit? But how does this happen in the places we hold dear—the home, workplace, and in our communities? We often feel overworked and overrun, defeated and discouraged. The world says be productive so that you can get all you can out of this life. The Bible says be productive so you can gain more of the next life. In Redeeming Productivity, author Reagan Rose explores how God’s glory is the purpose for which He planted us. And he shows how productivity must be firmly rooted in the gospel. Only through our connection to Christ—the True Vine—are we empowered to produce good fruit. This book shows how we can maintain the vitality of that connection through simple, life-giving disciplines. Readers will discover manageable applications like giving God the first fruits of our days. Additionally, Reagan discusses how our perspective on suffering is transformed as we see trials as God’s pruning for greater productivity.

  Holy Sepulchre The: The History...

  The most famous church in Jerusalem for nearly 2,000 years, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, often called the Church of the Resurrection, was built in the era of St. Constantine, and the church as a structure has no history separable from the city of Jerusalem and its environs. It is venerated as being on the site where Jesus was crucified and buried, and naturally, making it a crucial pilgrimage site for Christians, and it is now the home of the Greek Orthodox Jerusalem Patriarchate. Moreover, it was the site of many important councils, some of which altered Christian history forever. In short, the Sepulchre was and is synonymous with Jerusalem, and it was essentially the nodal center of the city. Naturally, the Church has had a turbulent history just as Jerusalem has. Under the Emperor Vespasian, Jerusalem was attacked and depopulated by Roman forces in 70 A.D., and from 131-134, the Jewish revolt invited another Roman reprisal. Over and over again, Jerusalem has been decimated, sacked and razed. 
  The temple built by Constantine was demolished by Jewish militants in 614 under the protection of the Persian Empire. There was an earthquake in 746, and a devastating fire in 967. The temple continued to experience ups and downs that are endemic and essential to its history. In 1036, the Islamic government permitted the rebuilding of the church, and in 1048, Constantine Monomakh improved on the new structure.  
  Christian Crusaders would famously conquer Jerusalem at the end of the 11th century, and over the ensuing centuries, Christians and Muslims were embroiled in one of the most infamous territorial disputes of all time, viciously and relentlessly battling one another for the Holy Land. Of course, this made the Church of the Holy Sepulchre a perfect target, so much so that a powerful company of knights was founded to guard the church and defend its presence with their lives.

  Defending God's Existence

  Are you ready to defend your faith with intellectual rigor and biblical clarity? Defending God’s Existence by Ken Ham, offers a groundbreaking approach to apologetics, rooted in the powerful Van Tillian presuppositional method — the gold standard for defending the Christian worldview. Unlike conventional apologetic strategies that often concede human reason as the ultimate authority, this book boldly asserts that the God of the Bible and His Word are the absolute, foundational standard for all truth, logic, and knowledge. 
   
  Learn How to Address Modern Skeptics 
   
  Many Christians struggle to respond to skeptics who dismiss the Bible. This book reveals why starting with man’s fallen reasoning leads to inherent inconsistencies and ultimately fails to provide a coherent worldview. Instead, you'll learn to employ the Transcendental Argument for the Existence of God (TAG), which demonstrates that logic, morality, science, and even the possibility of knowledge itself are only intelligible because the biblical God exists. You will discover how all other worldviews borrow from the Christian worldview to make sense of the world, whether they realize it or not. 
   
  Defending God's Existence will equip you to: 
  Understand why traditional apologetic methods often fall short in proving the biblical God.Master the nuclear strength apologetic to expose the arbitrariness, inconsistency, and lack of preconditions for intelligibility in atheistic, naturalistic, and other religious worldviews.Confidently affirm that the Bible is true because any alternative makes knowledge and logic impossible.Use evidence as a powerful confirmation of biblical truth, not as a starting point dependent on human interpretation.
