The people to whom Peter wrote his first epistle were already undergoing trials of all kinds and were soon to face fierce persecution for their faith at the hands of the cruel Emperor Nero. The apostle writes to encourage and strengthen them in the face of these trials and to remind them of the wonderful blessings and privileges they have in Christ. He has a great deal to say about relationships, both to fellow Christians and to unbelievers, in the workplace and in the home, in the local church and in society at large. In his second epistle Peter warns his readers against another danger that has threatened believers through the ages, that of false teaching. He points them to Gods Word as their one sure light amid the darkness and confusion of error and urges them to live holy lives in the light of the Lords return.

I'm spiritual but not religious.' It's a phrase that's often used to explain why, although they don't go to church, people still feel that life must have some kind of transcendent meaning, But what does this 'spirituality' consist of? In Spiritual and Religious Tom Wright argues that, whether people realize it or not, they are often simply reverting to forms of ancient paganism that are very similar to those that confronted the earliest Christians. With his characteristic verve and incisiveness, Wright traces the parallels between the worldviews of the first and twenty-first centuries, and shows how a better understanding of God as Trinity can breathe fresh life into our understanding and preaching of the gospel today. He concludes this prophetic book with a call to contemporary Christians to make a clear choice: 'Are we to compromise with paganism, to assimilate, to water down the distinctives of Christian faith in order to make it more palatable? Are we to retreat into dualism, into a private 'spiritual' religion which will assure us of an other-worldly salvation but which will leave the powers of the present world unchallenged. . . ? Or are we to worship the God who is Father, Son and Spirit, and to find in that worship a renewed courage, a renewed sense of direction, and a renewed hope for the future?'

Learn from the book of Daniel how to live confidently for Christ today. What does it look like to live with joy in a society that does not like what Christians believe, say or do? It’s tempting to grow angry, keep our heads down, retreat or just give up altogether. But this isn’t the first time that God’s people have had to learn how to live in a pagan world that opposes God’s rule. In this realistic yet positive book, renowned Bible teacher Alistair Begg examines the first seven chapters of Daniel to show us how to live bravely, confidently and obediently in an increasingly secular society. Readers will see that God is powerful and God is sovereign, and even in the face of circumstances that appear to be prevailing against his people, we may trust him entirely. We can be as brave as Daniel if we have faith in Daniel’s God! "The message of Daniel is incredibly relevant for us in our generation. Not because it maps out a strategy for how to deal with our new lack of status ... or because Daniel was a great man and we need to follow his example. The reason is that it will help us to believe in Daniel’s God." Alistair Begg, author.

World Upside Down: The Life of Paul, God's Chosen Messenger By: Louis McCall Saul was an uncompromising Pharisee and religious bigot. He approved of the death of Christianity's first martyr, Stephen, after the crucifixion of Jesus. He knew the scriptures but didn't really know God. Above all, he lacked God's character of love, compassion, mercy, and self-sacrifice. If you weren't born a Hebrew, Saul considered you a pagan far from access to the promises of God. He was so cruel he pulled men and women from their homes in chains and brought before the religious tribunal known as the Sanhedrin to be judged and punished. Their offence was believing that Jesus of Nazareth came from God, was born a man of a virgin when she was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit, fulfilled scripture, died for the sins of the world by an unjust crucifixion, preceded by torture, and rose again, after appearing to His followers, and then was taken up into heaven until He should return for His saints. To Saul, these Jews were heretics. His duty was to make them recant. Some were put to death in the process. Then Saul encountered the risen savior Jesus Christ. Learn how everything changed for him, Judea, Jews, and the world. - Why did God choose Saul, also called Paul, the Greek version of the same name? - How was Paul prepared for three years without interacting with the apostles? - What special miracles were attributed to Paul? - Why was Paul such a tireless traveler on mission? - What inspired a new generation to be co-workers with Paul knowing how much he suffered for the gospel? - Learn how Paul established churches and placed trusted male and female co-laborers in them to ensure the growth and development of those churches. - How was the worship of God changed? What was different about The Way? - How did the gospel focus change to include evangelizing formerly pagan non-Hebrews? - What were the issues with rejectionist traditional Jews and with Christian Judaizers? - What did the centers of idol worship and the rulers of that day have to fear from Paul? - What about Paul convinced Christians to be willing to suffer persecution and death for their faith after he and the apostle Peter were executed by a mad Caesar? As you read this book, you will feel like you are walking with Paul and sense his determination to fulfill the calling he received directly from the Lord Jesus. See his love, prayers, and pastoral care for those that accepted Jesus Christ through his ministry. About the Author Louis McCall has been a professor, diplomat, and a minister of God as an ambassador for Christ in a career that has taken him to more than 60 countries. This has included re-tracing some steps of the apostle Paul.

The Lord did not come as a political deliverer or social reformer. He did not rally supporters in a grandiose attempt to "capture the culture" for morality or greater political and religious freedom. Rather, His divine calling was to rescue the lost souls of individual men and women from sin and hell. In Why Government Can't Save You: An Alternative to Political Activism, author John MacArthur illustrates through Scripture that, regardless of the numerous immoral, unjuust, and ungodly failures of secular government, believers are to pray and seek to influence the world for Christ by godly, selfless, and peaceful living under that authority, not by protests against the government or by acts of civil disobedience. Dr. MacArthur will explore these areas: Christians' responsibility to authority How and why we should support our leaders How to live righteously in a pagan culture The principle of paying taxes Jesus' lessons on tax exemptions The biblical purpose of government The principle and reasons for civil obedience. "To devote all, or even most, of our time, energy, money, and strategy to putting a façade of morality on the world or the appearance of 'rightness' over our governmental and political institutions is to badly misunderstand our roles as Christians in a spiritually lost world." ?John MacArthur

If following Jesus involves a life of sacrifice and suffering, is it wrong for a Christian to seek purpose and joy in this world? Many Christians sense a tension between their desire to enjoy life in this world—the beauty of God’s creation, the rich love of deep relationships with others—and the reality that this world is fallen and broken, in need of redemption. How can we embrace and thrive in the tension between enjoying creation and promoting redemption? By living out our God-given purpose. As “worldly saints,” created in the image of God, we are natural creatures with a supernatural purpose—to know and love God. Because we live in a world that is stained by the curse of sin, we must learn to embrace our nature as creatures created in the image of God while recognizing our desperate need for the grace that God offers to us in the gospel. Writing in a devotional style that is theologically rich, biblically accurate, and aimed at ordinary readers, Mike Wittmer helps readers understand who they are, why they are here, and the importance of the story they tell themselves. In Becoming Worldly Saints, he gives an integrated vision that shows how we can be heavenly minded in a way that leads to earthly good, empowering believers to seize the abundant life God has for them.

A church without missions is like a tree without offshoots - it is doomed to die! The world looks upon the Church in America as a vigorous member of the whole Catholic body, functioning within its own territory in a healthy and prolific manner; but now the time has come for her to branch out and share her strength, her resources, her blood, if needs be, to scatter and nurture the seeds of the Faith among the redeemed but unenlightened peoples of the Orient. And will not the fruits of this tree be all the more bountiful because of the care given to it by the faithful husbandman interested in its expansion and development?When God wished to reveal to men truths of a supernatural order or to impose new obligations upon them or prescribe new means for salvation, He gave an extraordinary mission to certain persons who were to carry out His designs. Thus He sent Moses and the Prophets of the Old Testament; likewise He sent Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to found the New Law and the Apostles to preach it. 'Vithout this mission, well tried and proven by miracles, no one would have been obliged to believe. Our Lord Himself has founded His own authority to teach upon the mission which He received from the Father. For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God ( John iii. 34). To His Apostles He says, As the Father hath sent me, I also send you (John xx. 21).This work considers the burning question: “We now come to a question that has occupied some of the greatest minds in the Church. What is the teaching of the Church about the future of the millions and millions of souls who have been redeemed by the Blood of Jesus Christ, and yet do not know the Truth and never will know it? will they all be lost?” The answer begins: “We are here confronted with a mystery which Our Lord has not been pleased to reveal very clearly. There are some persons of weak faith or poorly instructed who admit too easily that those outside of the Christian religion will be saved merely through good faith; others, basing their opinion upon the axiom, "Outside of the Church there is no salvation," dispose of the question very quickly by consigning them all to Hell. The Protestants, who for a long time followed this rigorous opinion, now believe in the possibility of an evangelization of the dead and say that the lot of pagans, who in life have had no knowledge of Christianity, will be decided in the other world.” Then follows a scholarly discussion of the Catholic teaching on this subject. In this day, when there are those, following the teaching of Father Leonard Feeney, who will readily consign all unbaptized to people to hell, it is necessary to study what the Catholic Church actually teaches on this important subject.
