"God is good...all the time " Have you ever heard this phrase, or even said it yourself? How about this one, "God is in control?" Or, "God has a plan, you can t see it now but in the future you ll know why God allowed _______________," and fill in the blank with whatever has happened to you or someone you love. The most popular statement about God is probably this one, "Everything happens for a reason." Have you ever been told that? Have you ever asked the question, "If God is in control, why do bad things happen?" We usually explain all of this away by saying that God is sovereign, meaning he can do whatever he wants.These phrases and questions can be some of the most confusing ideas one wi...

Promises You Can Stand On Through Thick and Thin The Bible is filled with hundreds of what the apostle Peter called "exceeding great and precious promises": definite, explicit declarations God has made that you can count on. In All the Promises of the Bible, Dr. Herbert Lockyer discusses the nature of God’s promises - their substance, simplicity, surety, source, security, scope. Lockyer’s in-depth look at the scope of God’s promises arranges them in categories that cover the full array of human concerns, from the spiritual to the material and the corporate to the personal. As you come to understand God’s promises and how they apply to every aspect of your life, you’ll gain a trust in God that will sustain you through the worst of times and be your source of rejoicing in the best.

"Discipleship," says Rowan Williams in this companion to his best-selling Being Christian, "is a state of being. Discipleship is about how we live; not just the decisions we make, not just the things we believe, but a state of being." Having covered baptism, Bible, Eucharist, and prayer in Being Christian, Williams turns his attention in this book to what is required for us to continue following Jesus and growing in faith.
Accessible, challenging, funny, and one of the best reads on how to love others in any situation. Love and hospitality can change the way you see the world and others. That's exactly what modern-day theologian, Richard Beck, experienced when he first led a Bible study at a local maximum security prison. Beck believed the promise of Matthew 25 that states when we visit the prisoner, we encounter Jesus. Sure enough, God met Beck in prison. With his signature combination of biblical reflection, theological reasoning, and psychological insight, Beck shows how God always meets us when we entertain the marginalized, the oppressed, and the refugee. Stories from Beck's own life illustrate this truth -- God comes to him in the poor, the crippled, the smelly. Psychological experiments show how we are predisposed to appreciate those who are similar to us and avoid those who are unlike us. The call of the gospel, however, is to override those impulses with compassion, to "widen the circle of our affection." In the end, Beck turns to the Little Way of St. Thérèse of Lisieux for guidance in doing even the smallest acts with kindness, and he lays out a path that any of us can follow.

"God, what do you want me to do? What is my purpose in life?" Have you ever said something like this? Most of us feel like if God would just tell us what He wants us to do, then we'd know our purpose and could fulfill our calling. The problem with that way of thinking is it puts all the emphasis on performance. Yes, God has things He wants you to do, but that is not your purpose. Your purpose, or the reason you exist, is determined by something entirely different than your assignments in the Body of Christ. Your purpose is inherent to your identity as a child of God. Your calling is a journey you embark on with God to rescue people from darkness and bring them into the light of Christ. That ...
Denominations from evangelical to mainline continue to experience deep divisions over universal social issues. The underlying debate isn’t about a particular social issue, but instead it is about how we understand the nature of scripture and how we should interpret it. The world’s bestselling, most-read, and most-loved book is also one of the most confusing. In Making Sense of the Bible, Adam Hamilton, one of the country’s leading pastors and Christian authors, addresses the hot-button issues that plague the church and cultural debate, and answers many of the questions frequently asked by Christians and non-Christians alike. Did God really command Moses to put gay people to death? Did ...
