"This book is a warning sign. The coming cultural tsunami is the gravest threat Christians in America have ever faced. Caused by four cultural "earthquakes," the cultural confluence of these events has seismically shifted our world. With the rise of a "post-truth" culture, the expansion of the sexual revolution, the attraction of Critical Theory, and the advance of secular religion, Christians are increasingly labeled as intolerant, irrelevant, oppressive, and dangerous--the antithesis of the life Jesus calls Christians to live. These tidal waves are threatening to submerge Christians in America and the biblical morality they proclaim. But here's the good news: unlike tsunamis in nature, which cannot be stopped once they have been created, it's not too late to stop the moral tsunamis of our day. In The Coming Tsunami, pastor and cultural scholar Dr. Jim Denison of the Denison Forum identifies the enormous danger these cultural quakes represent, then offers proactive, biblical steps to redeem these challenges as opportunities for God's word and grace. But Christians must act now. The rain has already begun to fall." -- Back cover.
The Future of Baptist Higher Education investigates four key issues that inform Baptist efforts at higher education -- the denominational conflict that has afflicted Baptists since the 1980s, the secularization of higher education in America, the dominance of the market-driven tendencies in American higher education today, and the meaning of Christian higher education, but more specifically, the meaning of Baptist higher education. This volume clearly illustrates that the meaning of Baptist and Christian higher education, as with the Christian life itself, is far more complex than any one imperial interpretation.
The author explores the structure, mission, and leadership of the first century church of Christ through the lens of organization development. A framework is presented that guides the reader through the prophesies of the church in the Old Testament to their inception in the Book of Acts. The model of the church and its leadership, from a scriptural perspective, inform the reader with a basis for evaluating his or her own view of the church.
The Great Commission stands as the single most important aspect of New Testament mandates, and without its realization, Christianity would have died believers would have failed to pass Christian truths to others. Obviously, Jesus' mandate to make disciples continues to impact the world, and through this manuscript, author Dr. Daniel Butler has thoroughly examined the Great Commission texts. Furthermore, by considering the only history book of the church in the New Testament Acts the study examines the church's understanding, implementation, and fulfi llment of Jesus' commissioning words. Although the Great Commission may appear fl awed with discrepancy at fi rst blush, the student of this ma...
For many Americans, questions, concerns, and misunderstandings surround the world's fastest-growing religion-Islam. Abraham Sarker, born and raised a devout Muslim, knows Islam and understands Muslim people. While Sarker was being trained as an Islamic leader, God miraculously opened his eyes and touched his heart with the gospel of Jesus Christ. He shares his story, then provides a clear description of the history, beliefs, and practices of Islam. Sarker concludes by giving us a better understanding of the Muslim mind-set and offers practical strategies Christians can use to engage in productive dialogue with Muslims.
