Understanding End Times Prophecy
Author: Paul Benware
Publisher: Moody Publishers
ISBN: 1575674831
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Many Christians think of end times prophecy as a gigantic, intimidating puzzle -- difficult to piece together and impossible to figure out. But every puzzle can be solved if you approach it the right way. Paul Benware compares prophecy to a picture puzzle. Putting the edge pieces together first builds the 'framework' that makes it easier to fit the other pieces in their place. According to Benware, the framework for eschatology is the biblical covenants. He begins his comprehensive survey by explaining the major covenants. Then he discusses several different interpretations of end times prophecy. Benware digs into the details of the Rapture, the Great Tribulation, the judgements and resurrections, and the millennial kingdom. But he also adds a unique, personal element to the study, answering questions as: -Why study bible prophecy? -What difference does it make if I'm premillenial or amillenial? If what the Bible says about the future puzzles you, Understanding End Times Prophecy will help you put together the pieces and see the big picture.

Sun Myung Moon, built a vast and still-growing international movement capable of fulfilling God's will for peace in the 21st century.A major milestone of her life, described in never-told-before detail, was her marriage in 1960, at age 17, to the charismatic Rev.

She has led "Peace Starts With Me" rallies in six continents and plans to bring Blessing Ceremonies to all people.

In Pursuit of Truth
Author: Greg Grandchamp
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1973663457
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Imagine you knew the truth. The absolute truth. It could change your life. When we are armed with the truth, we see things more clearly. We are in better position to reach our own conclusions instead of simply accepting the noise that invades our hearts and minds. Christianity today is often viewed by others as judgmental, hypocritical, and condemnatory. Too often people are turned off by what they see as a religion bound by the rules and regulations that seem to dominate the Christian landscape. In Pursuit of Truth dispels these false assumptions and shows that true Christianity is nothing more—and nothing less—than a relationship with Jesus Christ. What were the claims of Jesus? What did he teach? What do Christians really believe? Why do I need him in my life, anyway? Whatever your question, In Pursuit of Truth helps you find the answer—especially to one of the most important questions of all, Who is Jesus Christ?

"Our Christian assertion is that there is more to our lives than 'now.' If there is not then even the now is meaningless. But we say now counts. Why? Now counts because we are creatures who have an origin and a destiny which is rooted and grounded in God." --R.C. Sproul ------ There is no such thing as a meaningless moment. Since we're made in God's image and created for His eternal glory, everything we think, say, and do today matters forever. The question is, How should this truth direct our daily lives? For more than forty years, Dr. R.C. Sproul wrote his recurring column in Tabletalk magazine, Right Now Counts Forever, to apply the teachings of the Bible and Reformed theology to everyday life. No topic was off-limits because every part of our lives bears enduring significance. Through the years, Dr. Sproul helped Christians give careful thought to topics in theology and history, politics and current events, relationships and entertainment, and more. In this four-volume collection, hundreds of Dr. Sproul's columns have been brought together for the first time. Written to serve the church, this treasury of theological reflection can help guide believers of all ages to live with eternity in mind and devote all of life to the glory of God.
