Suffering and the Sovereignty of God
Author: John Piper
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 143351902X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
In the last few years, 9/11, a tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and many other tragedies have shown us that the vision of God in today's churches in relation to evil and suffering is often frivolous. Against the overwhelming weight and seriousness of the Bible, many Christians are choosing to become more shallow, more entertainment-oriented, and therefore irrelevant in the face of massive suffering. In Suffering and the Sovereignty of God, contributors John Piper, Joni Eareckson Tada, Steve Saint, Carl Ellis, David Powlison, Dustin Shramek, and Mark Talbot explore the many categories of God's sovereignty as evidenced in his Word. They urge readers to look to Christ, even in suffering, to find the greatest confidence, deepest comfort, and sweetest fellowship they have ever known.

Jesus the Pattern Son
Author: Bill Britton
Publisher: Egen Company LLC
ISBN: 9781680199949
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
In Jesus The Pattern Son, Bill Britton presents the stunning premise that the life of Jesus in His humanity on earth sets a divine pattern for the endtime body of Christ, the Church. In this day when Christians are focused so much on signs and wonders, the author reminds us that Jesus Himself is God's greatest sign of all. This sign was given when Jesus was born in Bethlehem, but will be fulfilled in its completeness with the endtimes manifestation of the mature sons of God, when the "many-membered" body of Christ, the Church, receives the anointing of the Spirit "without measure," and walks in the power and authority of the Lord Himself. In that day will be fulfilled in the saints what Paul called "the riches of the glory of this mystery...which is Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Col. 1:27).While many Christians futilely await a "Rapture" that will take them far away from the travails of the earth, God actually has a far better plan. While the "children of darkness" are swept away in judgment, the "children of light" will be "entering into the day of God's glory, the unveiling of His power and majesty in the human flesh of His body, the Church." A glorious destiny awaits those who will press forward to enter into the fullness of mature sons of God.

Book Description
One of the most deceptive practices in many American churches today is the blanket acceptance of people who call themselves Christians. Many call themselves Christians, but claiming to be something and being it are two entirely different matters. The point is God wants righteous children of God who have believed in Christ, unto salvation. God wants Holy Spirit-filled children and churches of God God wants real children of God who have put on the whole armor of God and stands against the wiles of the devil. God wants a relationship with his children not a life of empty ritual. God wants children who know his power, not theirs. God wants your faith in the resurrection power of Jesus Christ.
