How many times have you encountered Jesus' teachings but left unchanged and disengaged from God's mission? For many Christians, there is a disconnect between knowing what the Bible says and actually doing it. Doer seeks to move Christians from a static existence to a dynamic life. Our families and communities will be transformed when we move from theoretically discussing to practically applying the teachings of Jesus. What is keeping you from jumping in and becoming a doer of God's Word?
If you have struggled with an addictive sin, or are trying to help someone that does, then you know that these sins have great potential to enslave. This book offers various keys to unlock the enslaving shackles. However, understand, there is no master key, only a Master Unlocker. This book strives to be real and practical. It strives to keep the heart and power of the gospel at the forefront. It incorporates modern-day examples, poetry, and action steps. It is researched and nuanced but not scholarly. The chapters and book are intentionally short so it's not intimidating to pick up and read. This book is written by someone that has fought the gospel-centered war and has experienced much victory by the grace of God and yet knows scars are real and the battle is never over. The book also shows that the author has fought alongside many comrades, both helping and receiving help. In short, the book is real about war and offers help in our continued gospel-centered war. ***** "As the title of this book makes clear, a gospel-centered approach is, in the long run, the only effective way to combat sin and addiction. Any resource, like this one by Paul O'Brien, which helps us fight our sinful compulsions by means of the gospel of Jesus Christ is one I recommend." -Dr. Donald S. Whitney, professor of biblical spirituality and associate dean at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and author or Spiritual Disciplines of the Christian Life and Praying the Bible. ***** "Gospel-Centered War is for those who struggle with life-dominating sin and for those who counsel them. Instead of simply addressing behavior modification, Paul O'Brien gets to the heart of the matter. This book addresses the issues that provide freedom from destructive, self-defeating behaviors by helping the reader understand how God can change their heart and passions. Read it, devour it, and then be changed from the inside out." -Pastor Mike Wilson, Lincoln Heights Baptist Church, Mansfield, Ohio ***** "Paul is a genuine man of faith who has dedicated his life to Jesus and his calling. As a former heroin addict who was mentored by Paul, I had the privilege to witness his passion for Christ and his desire to help people through God's word. This book shows that same passion." -Ricky Upton, Louisville, KY
The Kingdom of Christ is made up of many di erent types of people, in many different arenas of life, and in many different life-stages. As Christians, we are called to make disciples. If you are married with children or single without children, your calling is still the same-to glorify God and enjoy him forever. How can the church continue to champion singles, and how should we view singleness in the life of the church?
The 2nd Edition of Reformational Manhood: If manhood is passed down from generation to generation, then we have a courageous and war-like adventure ahead of us. It's time to put our comfort and lack of discipleship on the line. If we know God has called us to make disciples, let's begin with ourselves. If we know biblical manhood is under attack, let's go forth with vigor. "The time is now," says Greg Gibson. "There really is no other option." 'Reformational Manhood' is a call to men to live courageous and bold lifestyles for Christ. Read it by yourself. Read it in groups. Take a younger guy through it. This book will raise the bar in your pursuit of true manhood.
The Bible tells a unified story-a story that begins in the Garden, then moves to man being expelled from God's presence, and finally culminates in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is within this story that one finds the purpose of friendship. In Friendship Established, Adam Holland introduces the reader to the overall narrative of scripture. Holland explains how "friendship" plays a key role in God's story. Friendship Established seeks to reclaim Christ at the center of your friendships.
Friendship Redeemed is an examination of how the gospel influenced and shaped Paul's understanding of friendship. Pastors, students, and teachers alike---and anyone who desires to grow in their understanding of biblical friendship---will find this work to be a helpful resource, both in regards to readability and substance. Friendship Redeemed examines the topic of friendship through the lens of the metanarrative of scripture. The conclusion is that the gospel calls the Christian to a unique and counter-cultural view of friendship. This book will serve as a tool for helping believers to learn to live and think with a biblical worldview concerning the topic of friendship.
