Well-Grounded: Cultivating Intimacy with God uses ideas from Genesis chapters 1-3 with basic agricultural principles and selected spiritual disciplines for developing a greater intimacy with Creator God by highlighting time spent in Scripture and nature. These questions will increase the reader's appetite for knowing God more in his everyday life through seeing God's goodness in Scripture and the natural world around him. This book is where ideas of plant and soil science, Eden, and the spiritual disciplines abide in a symbiotic relationship leading one to a deeper and daily intimacy with our Good God.

Through the pages of Scripture to the news reports of today, common headlines shout for our attention. Leaders play the "blame game" instead of solving problems; a hero falls from grace; an underdog saves the day; a woman overcomes tragedy and finds hope; a pastor overcomes threats through faith in God; a man loses everything in life, except his faith; and so on. Everyone has a choice in life to play either the part of a victor or a victim. Choose to be a victor!

A pastor's job is hard! Preaching, teaching, administrating, and program planning. Then add in the biblical expectation that he leads in discipling church members, counseling couples in advance of marriage, and responding to crisis situations. And he must take care of his own children and wife! In the Bible, God provided plenty of guidance for that task, not only in the New Testament but also in the biblical wisdom literature. The book you're holding exists to encourage and guide pastors and disciplers in using this indispensable biblical material in their church's ministry.

Is it possible for today's pastor to provide competent counseling to the members of his flock? Should counseling be left to psychologists, psychotherapists, and secular counselors? What should be the primary source of information for the pastor who attempts to counsel? Should the Bible be used in the counseling room? These questions and more are answered by Dr. Paige Patterson in this book. God's Word is sufficient! Pastors must reclaim their role of offering Biblical Counsel to the members of their flock. Every pastor should read this volume. Every believer should read this book as well. Now is the time for the church to recapture its role of Biblical Counseling.

When did you last hear a sermon about the Rapture or the End Times? Does it matter? Pastor, when did you last preach about the Rapture or the End Times? If it has been months or even years, does it really matter? If a concordance search does not reveal a verse mentioning the "Rapture," does the Bible actually teach the doctrine? What is the Rapture? How is it defined? Can you name and explain the 3 main passages that teach the Rapture? When will the Rapture happen? If the Rapture happens today, how can you be sure you will not be left behind? For answers to these and many more important questions, read the inspiring, encouraging, and comforting book, Does the Rapture Still Matter?

In The Best Intentions, Dr. Chuck Kelley offers to Southern Baptists a 10-year assessment of the Great Commis­sion Resurgence (GCR), a landmark event in recent SBC history. The book identifies the GCR as one of the most transforming proposals ever approved by the SBC, for better or for worse. The reader can evaluate whether or not Kelley's assessment is true to his research or even necessary, and whether or not his conclusions and red flag warnings merit attention.

The Gospel accounts are narratives communicated through an episodic structure that emphasize Jesus Christ as the central character and an intended purpose; to awaken and subsequently strengthen the faith of the reader. Specifically, the Gospel of Mark communicates the identity of Jesus Christ as the Son of God (1:1), and the responsibility of being a committed follower. The analysis of the central section (8:22-10:52) of Mark's story examines the discourse function of language that captures the significance for the reader. It serves to further define Jesus' role as the suffering and self-sacrificing Messiah, while also explicating Jesus' expectations to follow him.

Two of the greatest needs for students of the Greek New Testament are motivation and daily practice. To build and maintain reading proficiency, students must see the practical difference made by knowing the language as they cultivate the habit of daily reading. With contributions from 37 New Testament scholars, A Daily Greek Devotional seeks to meet these needs.Each of the 365 devotions consists of a carefully selected passage, a sentence or two of context, and a brief paragraph of commentary. The goal has been to offer key devotional insights based primarily on the Greek grammar and syntax.With contributions by David L. Allen, Jared M. August, Mark H. Ballard, Todd Bolton, Douglas Brown, Jared Compton, Aaron Contino, Wayne Cornett, Martin M. Culy, Neal Cushman, Thomas K. Dailey, Roger G. DePriest, Joseph D.

It has been noted that two men did more for Biblical Christianity in the 19th century than any other: Charles Haddon Spurgeon and Dwight Lyman Moody. The influence of D. L. Moody continues today. While much has been written about this great man of God, very little has been published about his preaching. This volume exposes a little-known fact: though Moody began as a topical speaker, he became a text-driven preacher in his later years.

Christianity and the Bible are still relevant to American culture. As you read this book, you will, by default, see the relevance of God''s word to our current culture. In so doing, you will see the clash, discern the disparities, and engage the solutions for culture provided by Christianity. The book will force you to realize that we must be beacons of light, truth, and hope in a culture of relativistic slop. The chapters are filled with timely words by prominent Christian leaders and cover topics including human sexuality, Christians'' role in politics, morality, Biblical social justice, and much more.

At the heart of God's story is the hope that all things lost to man will one day be made new.The Bible presents a single narrative that begins in Genesis and ends in Revelation. Although the sixty-six books that make up the Bible are undoubtedly diverse, they all testify in unique ways to the working out of God's redemptive plan. Scripture's Story proposes that every book of the Bible testifies of the coming day when God's promised Offspring will destroy evil, restore creation, and dwell with his people forever. It is this unifying hope that forms the basis of the faith of all believers throughout the ages.
