Summary

The concept of charity has been a distant and perhaps abstract thought for those of us who have worked in church leadership roles in recent years. We are aware that philanthropists exist, but we do not normally associate with them. Many of us would have no personal experience with one. Yes, we occasionally request funds from philanthropic foundations, but that is usually as near as we go.
 
Is It Possible for Us to Become Philanthropists?
 
What would it be like if those of us who head Christian ministries become philanthropists ourselves? At first look, that may appear to be a stretch. However, I wouldn't be shocked if this aligns with the direction in which God's stream appears to be flowing this season.
 
We live in unusual times. Around the world, the twenty-first century is already shaping up to be a quantum jump from the twentieth. We are currently living in the Second Apostolic Age, in which the biblical church government has resurfaced. The Holy Spirit has began to speak to churches about assuming dominion over God's creation, as God intended. Our mission of saving souls and multiplying churches in the twentieth century has been enlarged to include nothing less than societal transformation.

    "I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?" —Psalm 121:1 
     
     
     
    As moms, we spend a lot of time looking down: at our phones, at the toddler at our feet, at our mounting to-do lists. We also gaze to the side, envious of what others have. We might even look behind us, nostalgic about the past, or ahead in hope for a more manageable future. But what if God, through his Word, is gently placing his hand under our chins and lifting our eyes toward him? 
     
     
     
    Derived from Psalm 121, these forty devotions will help you lift your eyes from motherhood's trials and fix them upon God's character and strength. Whitney Newby provides verses, personal stories, and Scripture-based reflections that will encourage you amid motherhood's unique challenges. 
     
     
     
    These concise devotions offer powerful reminders of God's promises whenever and wherever you need them. When you fix your eyes on him and know him as your Helper, Comforter, Shepherd, and Sustainer, you can move forward with purpose and hope in your mothering journey.

    Read by the author. 
    A new and inviting introduction to the Acts of the Apostles from New Testament scholar and theologian N. T. Wright. 
    Acts is a substantial book. It sits right in the middle of the New Testament, looking back to the four Gospels and ahead to the mission of the early church. It provides a framework for our understanding of the letters; but it does more than that. Acts offers a sophisticated and nuanced view of what it means to think of the gospel of Jesus, Israel's Messiah, going out into the world over which Israel's Messiah claims the status of Lord. 
    This Christian movement and thinking, detailed in Acts, entailed confronting the wider culture of the Greek and Roman world, as well as the culture of the Jewish world, which provides us today with an important message as we ourselves face new questions about gospel and contemporary culture. 
    From the renowned author of Into the Heart of Romans, N. T. Wright brings to the book of Acts his expert's eye on theological nuance and cultural context, distilling it down into an introductory commentary, perfect for anyone looking to take their own reading a little deeper and discover the profound (and often forgotten) potential of the church and the Way of Jesus Christ.

    Every person follows a script for living, a life guide that directs our behavior and shapes our choices. As believers, we find the original script for living woven throughout the Bible. Yet while the Christian message is simple, it can become complicated by our environment, our culture, and our religious ideas and traditions. For this reason, we are all in constant need of revising the scripts by which we live. 
    Author Frank Viola believes we need to revisit and revise what it means to live the Christian life. Drawing from his rich background in ministry, Viola examines ten key areas that impact every believer and explores fresh ways to revise them. Conversational, insightful, and practical, Revise Us Again encourages us to examine those religious habits that we unconsciously pick up from others and rescript them with new habits that line up with our new nature in Christ.
