Will You Choose the Wilderness?
We do our best to avoid the wilderness, but the man Jesus considered the greatest embraced an entire life in the wilderness. Are we too driven by non-biblical definitions of success to follow the ancient paths? If you are satisfied with influence, popularity, comfort, and success, you can avoid the wilderness. However, there are simply some encounters with God that are found only in the wilderness. Crowds are seducing, but the wilderness is where the fire burns, the burning bush appears, and God speaks. Many people use the words "wilderness season" only to describe a period of time that feels difficult or unproductive, so it has become common to call people to endure the wilderness and look ...
Mercy Before Judgment
Will you take your place in God's story and secure mercy for a generation?We live in an incredible moment in human history. Shifts are taking place across the earth that few people could have anticipated even a few decades ago. As the Church faces new challenges and new opportunities, there are two trends:1. There has been a dramatic increase in prayer in the last few decades, and it continues to grow in strength. 2. There is a renewed interest in a responsible, biblical understanding of Jesus' return and His judgments. Nice use of numbered/bulleted points. These two trends are becoming a divine invitation. The question is: do we recognize the invitation and know how to respond?When God spok...
Israel and the Great Commission
It is easy to see these challenges as two separate issues, but biblically they are deeply connected. Most Christians read the Old Testament as a story about Israel and the New Testament as a radical shift from Israel's story to the story of the nations. However Israel and the nations are deeply connected in both the Old and New Testament.When we read the Great Commission it seems to be a dramatic shift in God's redemptive plan, but the Great Commission is not a new idea. When we understand the overarching context of the Old Testament and Israel's story, we discover the nations were always in the heart of God. Just as the story of the nations does not begin in the New Testament, so also the story of Israel does not end in the New Testament. God has a single redemptive purpose for Israel and the nations that is found in both the Old and New Testaments, and this purpose is ultimately fulfilled in the context of the Great Commission.
One King
Few subjects have been more controversial throughout history than Israel. Some say her significance ended in the first century, but if God is finished with the Jewish people, how has Israel miraculously reemerged as a state after two millennia of dispersion? Why is the rage of nations, ideologies, and religions aimed ultimately at the destruction of this group of people once predicted to bless the whole earth? And how is the church supposed to relate to a modern, secular Israel in these intensifying times? Who constitutes the true people of God--Israel or followers of Jesus? As the controversy around Israel increases, anti-Semitism rises, and the gospel mission to every people group nears completion, the global church will be forced to answer these questions. We must understand both the original Old Testament gospel mandate and exactly how the first coming of Jesus dramatically shifted redemptive history. The New Testament teaches that God's promises to both Israel and the nations will be fulfilled by One King--Jesus. Discover God's Jesus-centered solution to the conundrum of history and answer to the question, "What is true Zion, and who are the people of God?"

George Whitefield
Narrates the drama of a famous preacher’s entire career in his historical context GEORGE WHITEFIELD (1714–1770) is remembered as a spirited revivalist, a catalyst for the Great Awakening, and a founder of the evangelical movement in America. But Whitefield was also a citizen of the British Empire who used his political savvy and theological creativity to champion the cause of imperial expansion. In this religious biography of “the Grand Itinerant,” Peter Choi recounts a fascinating human story and, in the process, reexamines the Great Awakening and its relationship to a fast-growing British Empire.
