Imagine what our world might look like if Christians became known for remarkable love, as well as life-giving truth. The stakes are high and the need is great for Christians to represent Jesus to a watching world. And today, we have more influence than ever before--for better and for worse. We are among the first generations to have access to a global megaphone through social media. But it's not enough to speak truth louder to a noisy culture. To counter the reputation Christians have earned, our love must be just as loud. Ask evangelist Matt Brown, and he will tell you Christians today are facing a crisis of influence. In our rush to speak truth to today's tensions, cultural issues, and trending controversies, it becomes all too easy to focus on proving our points rather than extending God's grace. Conversely, when we seek only to love yet never proclaim a better way, we short-circuit God's plan. Truth Plus Love invites you to rediscover the biblical framework for engaging culture as ambassadors of Christ. Through biblical insight, cultural analysis, and practical principles, Matt Brown outlines how to champion truth without compromise, how to love unconditionally, and ultimately, how to step into this great adventure of representing God to the world. It's hard, it's messy, and it's the unfinished project of a lifetime, yet here we find our great adventure: representing God to a watching world.

In this book, author Elder William D. Holmes gives an account of life of the church, how strong Christians used to be, and how that people live for God with all their hearts, soul, and mind. They conducted themselves as people of God in the way they dressed and live holy free from sin among the sinners. They fasted, prayed, and testified and were saved, sanctified, baptized, and filled with the Holy Ghost and fire. The power of God was present in the church that it would knock and roll people on the floor! They may not have money in their pockets or any of these worldly goods, but they had Jesus in their souls on their way to heaven. They may not have nice pews or carpet on the floor, and some did not have much education, but they had the power of God in their lives. We are going to take a look at the church today, how that we have better churches with modern technology. We are more educated and have more money, but what happened to the power of God from the old church? Christians today cannot testify living free from sin. Some cannot shout and praise God until they get all sweaty! Pride has taken over the church today. Christians have become spiritually sick! There are so many teachings, doctrines, and cults to confuse people. Satan has taken a seat in the church. In the midst of all of these, a Christian today can be healthy. We are going to take a look at how a person can live a life to please God today in our generation, just like the saints of old. Most of all, well look at how to make heaven your home.

Key Traits of a Healthy Church to Develop within the Local Body What is an ideal church, and how can you tell? How does it look different from other churches? More importantly, how does it act differently, especially in society? Many of us aren't sure how to answer those questions, even though we probably have some preconceived ideas. This book answers those questions and many more. Author Mark Dever seeks to help believers recognize the key characteristics of a healthy church: expositional preaching, biblical theology, and a right understanding of the gospel. Dever then calls us to develop those characteristics in our own churches. By following the example of New Testament authors and addressing all members of the church, pastors and laity alike, Dever challenges all believers to do their part in maintaining the local church. Part of the 9Marks Building Healthy Churches series, What Is a Healthy Church? offers timeless truths and practical principles to help each of us fulfill our God-given roles in the body of Christ.
