Here I Am, Lord, Send Me


Book Description

Church leadership and authority have been perennial theological issues facing Protestant churches of the Reformed tradition since the sixteenth century. What is ordination and what occurs when the Church ordains women and men to offices are questions that Reformed churches have attempted to answer for over five hundred years. In Here I Am, Lord, Send Me, Neal Presa combs the rich confessional, constitutional, and theological tradition of the Reformed churches. He critiques previous methods that have tried to answer questions of the meaning of ordination, and then proposes a new methodology that focuses on the ritual and stories of ordination, the shape and content of an assembly's worship. This work provides pathways for deeper and helpful engagement with present church debates and ecumenical discussions on ordination and ecclesiastical authority.




Here I Am, Lord. Send Me


Book Description

We may not always know where the road of life will take us. For a Pharisee named Saul, a fateful trip on the road to Damascus would change his life forever, when a light from heaven opened his eyes to the truth and to the salvation of Jesus Christ. Saul would go on to become the apostle Paul, and did you know that each and every one of us can experience this same profound awakening? In Here I Am, Lord. Send Me, author and pastor Fain McKinney shares his spiritual journey as he travels his very own road to Damascus, where like Paul he would encounter God and discover a new life and a message of hope, redemption, and love for all who remain in the darkness. Growing up on the tough streets of Brooklyn, McKinney would return from serving in the US Army to only find for himself a life of homelessness and addiction. Yet while the world would leave him behind, Jesus Christ was always waiting for him to return. No matter where we are on lifes journey, and no matter how downtrodden and lost we may be, we have a Savior, Jesus Christ, who will meet us where we are and deliver all who call upon him. It is through him that we can ascend from the darkness and into the light of his grace, love, and compassion, and it is with him that we can stand victorious in spirit.




Here I am, Lord!


Book Description

"Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?" "Here I am!" was the prophet Isaiah's answer to God's great question, but do you know the secret that it holds? The Most High is looking for servants, and has well-defined criteria for whoever He chooses. It's not about time in church membership, a vast biblical knowledge, or in intellectual abilities. God is searching for servants who will offer their lives to Him in sincerity, purity, and wholeness. And this is exactly what Edir Macedo explains in this book. In a clear and detailed way, the author addresses various aspects of a servant's life, such as behaviour, character, choices, struggles, faith, and salvation. This book is a true treasure for those who value the privilege of being called and chosen to serve God.




10 Power Principles for Christian Service


Book Description

In a church culture that is rapidly losing its unique, intergenerational make-up in favor of small groups and even entire churches designed to target specific age groups, it can be difficult for ministers to relate to those who are not in their own demographic. But Warren and David Wiersbe, representing two generations, believe that generational differences should not keep ministers from relating to their congregations. In this thoughtful and practical book, they offer ten principles for Christian service that always work, at all times and in all places, inviting ministers to get back to the basics of serving others. New and seasoned pastors alike will find this a welcome source of inspiration and instruction on how they can relate and minister to people of all ages.




Here I Am God, Send My Sister


Book Description

It's time to upgrade the voices in your life. Nothing is more inspiring than the stories of faithful Christians who gave everything and considered it joy to join God in changing the world. Here I Am God, Send My Sister is a short look into the lives of eleven influential women missionaries in history and what we can learn from their lives.




Be Comforted (Isaiah)


Book Description

For anyone who thinks that comfort is equivalent to pity and that it is only priceless to those who need an emotional crutch, best-selling author Warren Wiersbe applies the words of the prophet Isaiah to prove that God's comfort is no such thing. The word comfort actually translates "to repent" in Hebrew; our English translation, however, adds another dimension to the word since it originated from two Latin words meaning "with strength." With definitions and insights like this, the "pastor of pastors" and phenomenal author Warren Wiersbe continues to enliven the Scriptures as he weaves the words of Isaiah with historical explanations and thought-provoking questions for every chapter, creating a study guide that can be used in personal Bible study or with a group. With over 4 million copies of his "Be" series alone in circulation, he is a man who has given his life to a deep examination of the Word of God, to communicating it in such a way that the masses see its relevance for today.

Book Description




The Holiness of God


Book Description

Central to God’s character is the quality of holiness. Yet, even so, most people are hard-pressed to define what God’s holiness precisely is. Many preachers today avoid the topic altogether because people today don’t quite know what to do with words like “awe” or “fear.” R. C. Sproul, in this classic work, puts the holiness of God in its proper and central place in the Christian life. He paints an awe-inspiring vision of God that encourages Christian to become holy just as God is holy. Once you encounter the holiness of God, your life will never be the same.
