Something Happened on the Way to Happily Ever After
What does the Bible really say about marriage, divorce, and remarriage? Where does the divorced person stand with regard to remarriage or ministry? This book is an easy-reading explanation of what God has to say about these important issues. It is truly 'A Biblical View of Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage.'
The Speaking in Tongues Controversy
What others are saying... As an AG minister, I was especially interested in Dr. Walston's discussion of this topic. I found his arguments lucid, biblical, exegetical, and convincing. Rev. Kevin Potts, Ph.D. Candidate, Chaplain Dr. Walston has thrown a 'big wrench' into my tongues-as-evidence doctrinal gears. I am now working through what I thought was a foundational doctrine that I also thought was settled long ago. This book should be required reading for people on both sides of this issue. Dr. Denny Nissley, AG minister, Director of Christ in Action Ministries Many books and articles have been written in defense of speaking in tongues as the unmistakable, physical evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. Through his careful and thorough analysis of the Pentecostal texts in the Book of Acts, Dr. Walston is challenging this view. This book is beyond doubt one of the most thought-provoking analyses on this theme I have ever read. Nils-Olov Nilsson, Th.D., Swedish Missionary and Theologian with the Swedish Pentecostal Movement
Wonderings
Wonderings is a collection of short stories that reflect greater spiritual and philosophical realities. Drawing from personal experience, Carmen DiCello illustrates sacred truths that inform, encourage, and enliven. These short essays help to clarify the role and significance of faith in daily living. The themes highlighted here encourage an enthusiastic approach to life. They provide wisdom for the journey and help generate an attitude of wonder at the presence of God in our midst.
Dangerous Blessing
Postmodernism has been both heralded and hated, accepted and denounced. But which is the proper response? Is it an impetus to spiritual revival or an invitation to sinister deception? Carmen C. DiCello points out that Christians must examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good (1 Thessalonians 5:21) while remaining alert to potential hazards. Steering clear of extremes, this book offers an approach to postmodernism in which believers can justly resist its darker elements while embracing its more noble ones. Postmodernism is best seen as a 'Dangerous Blessing.'
Unraveling the Mystery of the Motivational Gifts
The first thing that you must learn about spiritual gifts is that you have one. You may not realize it, but you function in your gift daily. God has equipped each member of the Body of Christ with a special ability to do His will. This special ability is called a spiritual gift. Many readers of this book will feel a sense of discovery of who they are in Christ. They will discover their spiritual gifts for the first time, and they will learn how to move forward in the ministry that God has entrusted to them.
Why?
Nothing so baffles the mind or staggers the soul than the reality and sheer intensity of human suffering. How can we explain such widespread malevolence in a world ruled by a benevolent God? What is the proper response to such pain and puzzlement? Skeptics and believers alike are compelled to ask, Why? Some have advocated an overly confident and simplistic theodicy, while others have retreated to a place of doubt or even unbelief. But neither of these options will do. Carmen DiCello urges that we reject both unwarranted confidence and outright skepticism, favoring an approach in which human knowledge and human ignorance are held in tension. Providing a helpful framework for thinking through these issues, DiCello balances what we can know with what we can't, showing that there is reason enough to believe along with ample cause to rest our hearts and minds in a good, sovereign, but also mystifying God. 'Why?' provides spiritual and intellectual guidance for all who are willing to venture into these troubling waters, and who desire to emerge with a realistic faith and a sustaining hope.
Truth in Balance
The gospel of Jesus provides hope for humanity, access to God, purpose for human existence, and empowerment for daily living. These and other benefits are revealed by God, but they also require a human messenger. It is thus the responsibility of believers to share the truth via life and word. In the real world, however, there are many obstacles to faith, which is why it is essential to explain, defend, and show forth the truth--thus the need for apologetics. However, not all agree on how best to approach apologetics, and numerous suggestions have been put forth. This is why, as Carmen DiCello reminds us, it is imperative that we think through what it means to be able to "give an answer" for the hope that is in us. Truth in Balance addresses issues that encourage an apologetic that remains faithful to Scripture while illuminating the beauty and wonder of the Christian gospel in today's culture.
Serving One Another
God wants His people to know the gifts He has given them. Gifts appear in Scripture primarily in three passages, each with its own list, with other gifts mentioned individually here and there in other parts of Scripture. This three volumes study of New Testament gifts deals with the three lists separately to honor the uniqueness of each list. You are invited to come along with the author in discovering what God has given to His people, including you.
Kingdom Warriors in a Kingless Realm
We live in a strange and turbulent time. The recession continues to deepen, layoffs increase, unemployment rises, costs inflate, and morale sinks. Political lines are drawn and ideological arguments abound. Every day more and more churches are closing their doors. Truly, the enemy has done a masterful job at getting God's people to focus on the world around them, and disengage from the command of Christ to make disciples. Our nation desperately needs godly men to take a stand for righteousness, men who don spiritual armor and live for His glory, men who live as warriors of light working daily to advance His kingdom. Unfortunately, the church is not doing well, and men are at the heart of thi...
