In the past few decades, entrepreneurs have deservedly earned our attention and respect. They have significantly contributed to our economy and business culture, as well as improved the quality of our lives. We have come to realize that how they go about their business is equally as important as the business itself. . . maybe even more so. In essence, we can benefit from knowing "what makes them tick." Like all of us, entrepreneurs are neith...

It's time to know, believe, and delight in all that God has revealed about Himself. For indeed, to honestly look at the unredacted God of the Bible, is to never be the same. You must go on with God. You must tremble afresh and anew. This is an ever-present necessity for every born-again soul. Truly, fear and gladness coexist in every regenerate heart! The fear of God is the most beautiful, powerful, meaningful, fulfilling, and, yes, exuberant...

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver." (Proverbs 25:11) This exclamation was made by King Solomon just after he had received an exquisite gift, and his point was that appropriate words are as wonderful as an awesome gift! Words can have a huge influence on people. This little book maps out some of the DNA of encouragement and draws several lines of application and illustration to show you how you can be an encourag...

Alas, how many of you to whom I now speak are unprepared! It pains me to think of it, as I sat last night about eight o'clock, revolving in my mind a subject for this hour's discourse, there came a knock at my door, and I was earnestly entreated by a father to hasten to the deathbed of his dear girl. I wanted much my time for preparation, but as the dear one was in such a case, and had long been a constant hearer of the word in this tabernacle...

God is probably not who you think He is. . . How can you be sure? Why does it matter? Do you know the God of fierce wrath and horrifying vengeance? Is this the God you worship? Is it possible that much of the modern church has settled for a domesticated, pseudo-Christ? Do you understand that God has revealed that He is dreadfully provoked? Do you know why?

However, Sam and his bodyguard, Kishor, are unaware that the priceless value of the find is known to Brisbane and his high-tech band of mercenaries. They now know the secret location of the fabled "Treasure of Solom...

I've seen gold, and I've seen silver, but I have never seen apples of gold in silver settings. My initial reaction is that such apples in such settings must reflect both tremendous value and exquisite beauty. There are words like that-words of tremendous value and exquisite beauty! And we can possess them even though they were all spoken so very long ago. We can possess them by reading the reports of them in the Bible and by reflecting deeply ...

After we sang our closing song and prayed our closing prayer, these wonderful people began coming to me one after the other to bid farewell. I couldn't speak their language, and they couldn't speak mine, but I soon discovered we didn't need an interpreter as we had a common language after all. It was the language of smiles, tears and uplifted index fingers. Yes, as they said their goodbyes to me, these Brazilian brothers and sisters in Christ ...

We had to spend quite a bit time in the barn on the little family farm that I called home during my childhood years. The cows had to be milked each morning and evening. That barn was already old and rickety when my dad bought the farm. In wintertime the wind would whistle through the cracks in those barn walls and chill us to the bone. My dad's remedy for the problem was to nail cardboard over those cracks. That certainly didn't make the barn ...

The dog of Angelo del Plato watched intently as his master was lowered into the grave. Eight years later, friends of the family acknowledged that they could not remember a day when that loving dog did not visit his master's gravesite, usually sitting a while on the turf over his master's body. . . . Even those who are not dog lovers must admire and commend the faithfulness of that dog to his master. It is a sharp rebuke to many Christians for ...

Christians are crashing and burning on the runways of life. Through the TV, Internet, cell phones, newspapers, books, and magazines we are bombarded by the world's temptations and attractions. The response of choosing isolation from the world doesn't work: we fail to reach the people God has called us to reach, and we find that the problem comes with us in the sinful desires of our hearts. The opposite extreme, becoming like the world, turns C...

There is perhaps no greater proof of man's innate sinfulness and hostility toward God than the staggering immorality of our culture. Most people, even many Christians, have either a distorted or a non-existent understanding of how God views his or her body, the primary focus of this book. As result, they are vulnerable to the deceptions and threats of the sexual revolutionaries. By examining and obeying God's perspective, we are equipped to na...

We live in a church age of such profound apostasy that a large segment of evangelicalism is unable to biblically explain what it is to be a "Christian." This is largely due to a wholesale neglect of the doctrine of regeneration-that supernatural impartation of spiritual life to the spiritually dead that causes individuals to savingly believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and so radically transforms their natures that the very desires of their heart...

. . . Sure, you have some concept of a supreme being-but, is your god-notion, God? The one true God? The biblical God? The God who is?To anyone who has ears to hear, I simply say that it's time to open the Book and truly behold the dreadful holiness and terrifying awe of I AM. Certainly, it is long past time in this era of low-resolution preaching, denominational banality, and pervasive biblical illiteracy. For indeed, the Bible is unmistakabl...

Sorrow is a familiar companion of every Christian. But for those who rest confidently in the good and perfect purposes of God, there exists an inexplicable, subjective awareness of God's all-sufficient grace-a tranquil peace impervious to circumstances that flows from the fountain of His covenantal love for those He has redeemed. The purpose of this little volume is to help believers develop a deeper understanding of this dynamic force of divi...

We don't need all this doctrine and theology. Let's just go by the Bible." Have you heard that, or have you even said it yourself ? Yes, of course we need the Bible. It's the infallible, inerrant, inspired Word of God-our ultimate authority. But disconnecting from the historic creeds and confessions of the church, saying, "Out with the old, in with the new, " merely brings us a fragmented Christian faith. The Apostles' Creed is a concise, comp...

C.S. Lewis was one of the most popular and influential Christians of the twentieth century-a staunch defender and a passionate evangelist for Christianity. Reggie Weems argues that Lewis intended his much-beloved, mythical series, The Chronicles of Narnia, to retell the gospel in laymen's terms. It may, in fact, be Lewis's most potent evangelistic effort.
