On Lying

Saint Augustine

Sinossi

"On Lying" presents Saint Augustine's penetrating examination of the moral and ethical dimensions of falsehood, offering timeless insights into the complexities of truth-telling and deception. In this seminal work, Augustine delves into the profound implications of dishonesty on the individual soul and the fabric of society.

With characteristic clarity and depth, Augustine explores the roots of deceit and the consequences of deviating from the path of honesty. Drawing upon biblical teachings, philosophical reflections, and his own spiritual journey, he articulates a compelling case for the intrinsic value of truth and the corrosive nature of falsehood.

Through a series of incisive arguments and thought-provoking anecdotes, Augustine challenges readers to confront their own attitudes towards honesty and integrity. He underscores the importance of sincerity and transparency in fostering authentic relationships and nurturing the moral fiber of society.

At once philosophical and deeply practical, "On Lying" serves as a moral compass for navigating the complexities of human interaction and grappling with the ethical dilemmas of everyday life. Augustine's timeless wisdom continues to resonate across centuries, offering profound guidance to all who seek to live lives of integrity and virtue.

Hearing God Through The Gospel...

Dan Parr

This second book in the New Testament was written by Mark, also called John Mark, who is the cousin of Barnabas (Colossians 4:10). Mark travelled with the Apostle Paul and Barnabas on their evangelistic journeys and then, for reasons not mentioned in Scripture, abandoned them to return home to Jerusalem. Because of this act Paul was adamant that he would not accompany them on any future trips. Perhaps it was the family tie, or his compassionate heart, but Barnabas vehemently disagreed with Paul on the matter and the two men decided to part ways in their evangelistic ministry (Acts 15:39). Although he never mentioned the matter in his text, we can learn much from Mark’s situation.
The Gospel of Mark was likely written around 70 A.D. which, from a historical perspective, is almost immediately after Jesus’ resurrection. Mark purposefully leaves out details of Jesus’ birth and His genealogy, as his intended audience were likely Romans instead of Jews, and instead he jumps right in to Jesus’ ministry. Of the four Gospels, Mark is the shortest and has been called The Gospel on steroids for Mark’s use of the word, “immediately” (37 times in the Easy to Understand, Read Bible), in describing the acts Jesus performed.
Reading the Bible is different than reading any other book. It is more than a narrative about God, it is more than a story of broken individuals and the trials they faced. It is more than a set of rules and regulations. It is even more than a love letter. It is the very essence of Jesus. It is about Him, but there is more than that. It is God’s conversation with us. It is alive. It is active. It is a 2-way conversation.

Faith Friendships and Business -...

Tiana Sanchez, Arnita Champion,...

You don’t have to choose between your faith and your future. 
Most people live two lives: 
The one where they grind through work, relationships, and responsibilities… 
And the one where they quietly wonder, “Is this it?” 
Faith, Friendships, and Business is the answer to that question. 
It’s a raw, no-filter look into the real lives of everyday leaders—entrepreneurs, professionals, and purpose-driven people—who’ve walked through storms and found something stronger than success: alignment. 
This book is not theory. 
It’s stories, lessons, and hard-won wisdom from people who’ve: 
Built careers while keeping their faith intact 
Walked away from toxic environments and found healing 
Navigated leadership, loss, and personal growth without selling out who they are 
Reconnected with God, real friendships, and the reason behind the hustle 
If you’ve ever felt like your faith doesn’t “fit” in the workplace… 
If you’ve ever wondered where God is in your job, your business, or your broken friendships… 
If you’re tired of pretending everything’s fine when it’s clearly not—this book is for you. 
Read it. 
Highlight it. 
Wrestle with it. 
Then show up in your life with more clarity, more courage, and more conviction than ever before. 
Because you weren’t made to grind through life. 
You were made to live it—on purpose, with purpose, and never alone.

Wild Kingdom - Discovering the...

Dr. Ron Allen

After 2,000 plus years of co-laboring with the Holy Spirit, we are still in need of increased revelation on the topic of “Kingdom”. May this book serve as an anointed supplement to your studies in God’s Word, supplying deeper revelation and insight. May the verses used in this book bring God’s people into agreement with Scripture and alignment in purpose in these last days of the church on Earth. May our understanding of biblical identity, purpose and destiny be released in us as we study God’s Word in this season of church history. May we “say what the Father is saying and do what the Father is doing” in a righteous attempt to get it right in this decade of harvest. May we learn from the past and seek not to repeat the same mistakes. May the Holy Spirit pour out on our generation; fresh wisdom, anointing and grace to lead the church into increased awareness of our authority and power. May we return to the Gospels and the Book of Acts to reclaim the original standard of the triumphant church. May we walk in Holy Spirit empowerment and authorization to defeat the works of darkness and establish Heaven on Earth…
