God's Business Plan defines and outlines the process and context in which Jesus used the fivefold ministry gifts, during His ministry on earth, in a strategic manner to build, maintain, and advance the Kingdom. The book gives revelatory truths to how the Garden of Eden, Tabernacle of Moses, and Solomon's Temple, give foundation to the fivefold ministry gifts as vital parts of God's plan for Kingdom building. God's Business plan deals with the structure of local church government and how the apostle and prophet with Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone reflect the prophet, priest, and King pattern established in the Old Testament. When we work together, we can grow together.

Why was the story of Adam, Eve, and the Serpent so important to medieval literary culture? Eric Jager argues that during the Middle Ages the story of the Fall was incorporated into a comprehensive myth about language. Drawing on a wide range of texts, Jager shows how patristic and medieval authors used the Fall to confront practical and theoretical problems in many areas of life and thought—including education, hermeneutics, rhetoric, feudal politics, and gender relations. Jager explores the Fall's meaning for clergy and laity, nobles and commoners, men and women.Among the works Jager discusses are texts by Ambrose, Augustine, the early Christian poet Avitus, and scholastic authors; Old En...
What this book argues for in today’s twenty-first-century church was a hallmark doctrine of old school Presbyterianism of the nineteenth century: the doctrine of the spirituality of the church. Which eschatological approach one uses will affect one’s understanding of the nature and practice of missions. Mission creep—the expansion of the church’s original objective(s)—is a real concern for the contemporary church, and how one understands eschatology affects one’s focus on missions. The mission of the church is narrow (Matt 28:18–20), and the calling of individual believers is broad (Rom 12:1–2). If we fail to make this crucial distinction, the church’s mission will lose its biblical emphasis. And if the church’s mission is lost, then the authority structure, instantiated in the offices and officers of the church, devolves into illegitimacy, because the church is no longer advancing the kingdom ends she was mandated to do by King Jesus. If the institutional church fails to do this, we will be relinquishing and abdicating and abandoning our most singular and particular and peculiar kingdom of God vocation: the harvesting, gathering, and perfecting of the saints.

I will open my mouth with a parable; I will utter dark sayings concerning days of old; That which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us, We will not hide from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and His strength, and His wondrous works that He hath done.

We all love a good story. The Torah, or Pentateuch, is regularly defamed as “law.” Actually, it’s a saga about our search for happiness and how the God of the Bible fits into it. Lacing legal material into narrative punctuated with poetry, the Torah contrasts two provocative personalities named Abraham and Moses. Fascinating and fickle, their adventures portray two visions of approaching God. The Torah was written to render a verdict on who is the best model. This book demonstrates that Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy are a unified narrative, framed as contrasting biographies, proclaiming a coherent message. It surveys each book’s structure and themes to determine its argument and then articulates the Torah’s message for people of all time, its vision of human happiness. It establishes that the Torah is the core of the Jewish and Christian Bibles and shows how the rest of the Bible elaborates its message. Ending with suggestions to help you read it, this book is your invitation to the Torah.
