It is clear that God is passionate about justice and righteousness in His Word and in our world. With tens of millions of people in slavery today, human trafficking is one of the darkest evils of our generation. But what can we do as believers? A Light in Darkness gives a biblical foundation for the church to understand God's call for us to pursue justice, and provides practical steps for us to demonstrate the gospel as we shine light into these dark places.EndorsementsWorldwide human trafficking is a modern form of slavery that negates justice and neighbor-love in the worst possible way.

Pagtagumpayan ang iyong pinamalaking kaaway, ang iyong sarili. Magtatagumpay ka ba? O, pinapahirapan ka ng mga munting kasalanang nagkukulong sa iyo? Mas masama'y, nagkukulang ka na sa iyong paglalakbay bilang Cristiano, ngunit itinatanggi at ayaw tugunan ito? Walang Cristiano ang maaaring magpabalewala sa tawag upang magtagumpay. Ang halagang babayaran sa lupa'y maliit lamang; ang walang-hanggang kagantihan ay higit sa anumang sukatan. Si Dwight L. Moody ay isang dalubhasa sa pagtuklas sa mga nagpapahirap sa atin. Kinakasangkapan niya ang mga kwento at katatawanan upang ipaliwanag ang mga mahahalagang aral ng matagumpay na pamumuhay bilang Cristiano. Ang bawat aspeto ng tagumpay ay sinusuri mula sa praktikal at mauunawaang anggulo. Ang solusyon na inihahain ni Moody para sa ating mga suliranin ay hindi relihion, mga patakaran, o ibang panlabas na pagbabago. Sa halip, ginagabayan niya tayo sa puso ng usapan at nagbibigay ng mga biblikal, mga lunas mula sa Dios para sa buhay ng bawat Cristiano. Maging handa upang yakapin ang tunay na tagumpay sa ngayon, at kagalakan sa walang hanggan. Kabilang sa mga paksang pangkalooban ay:* Pagpipigil * Kagutuman * Paninibugho * Kapalaluan * Ang Laman Kabilang sa mga paksang pagkataong labas ay:* Ang Sanglibutan * Gawain * Pag-uusig * Ang Ating Mga Anak Tungkol sa May-akdaSi Dwight L. Moody, na nangapagpasiyang magkamal ng kayamanan, ay nagtungo sa Chicago at nagsimulang magbenta ng mga sapatos. Ngunit natagpuan siya ni Cristo at ang kanyang enerhiya'y itinuon sa paglalaan ng kanyang buong oras sa ministeryo. At kalugod-lugod na ministeryo ang kanyang pinamahalaan. Ngayon, ang pangalan ni Moody ay patuloy pa rin na nagbibigay-karangalan sa isang iglesia, isang misyon, isang kolehiyo, at higit pa. Iniibig ni Moody ang Dios at tao, at ang kapangyarihan ng pag-ibig na gaya nito'y nakaaapekto sa maraming mga henerasyon.
Choose you this day whom ye will serve. - Joshua 24:15This life will not last forever. The trumpet will one day sound and call you forth from your narrow bed. The graves will be opened, and you will be summoned forth to meet your God. The proud heart that rejects or mocks Christianity down here will be compelled to listen to the judgment sentence of God. The ears that will not obey the sound of the church-going bell will be compelled to obey the sound of the last trumpet. The eyes that behold evil here will one day gaze upon the spotless throne of God. Do not forever disobey. May God help you to submit your proud will without delay in loving, childlike obedience to Him.
Danny Orlis and his cousin Larry navigate a series of challenges and tests of faith. From rescuing Larry after a perilous fall overboard, to facing the consequences of a fight, their time together is marked by hazards. Even as they strive to remain faithful to Jesus in spite of the pressures of high school football, they find themselves caught in a dangerous gambling scheme that threatens the integrity of the team. With courage and determination, they must expose the culprits while staying true to their convictions. Amidst it all, they discover the power of forgiveness, the strength of real friendship, and the importance of unwavering faith.
The "artillery" herein has been proven by one of the most skillful archers to be effective in piercing the armor joints of many sinners' harnesses. The arrows of conviction have gone home to many hearts when shot from a bow drawn at a venture (1 Kings 22:34). It has been a profitable pleasure to bundle the arrows, and it is hoped that the war-worn soldiers may be relieved a little as we hand them their ammunition in this form. As Spurgeon said, "When the Word of God becomes an arrow in a man's heart, he writhes; and he would gladly tear it out; but it is a barbed shaft."This wonderful volume has been compiled from the sermons of Charles H. Spurgeon. During a season of sickness and recovery, Spurgeon's son found organizing the illustrations, anecdotes, and similes used by his beloved father a pleasing pastime. Knowing the Lord's archers' desire for the arrows of truth to stick fast in the hearts of the King's enemies, it was felt that such a sheaf of arrows, so well barbed, would prove useful to fellow bowmen.
God speaks to us through the Bible. That Book embodies His words. Creation itself is the visible embodiment of His power and wisdom. It is the result of His words. This Book of His is, in a different way, the effect of His speaking. It is His written wisdom and power. There is His voice to us. The thunder and tempest are His loud voice of grandeur. The sunshine and the gentle breeze are His still small voice. But deeper, clearer, keener, softer, and still more penetrating than all of these is His written Word to us.The Bible is what it is because it contains the words of God. It is through the Word, and in connection with it, that God communicates with us. The Word revives: Your word has revived me (Psalm 119:50). The word produces faith: Faith comes from hearing (Romans 10:17). The Word strengthens, comforts, heals, nourishes, and revives. It gets into contact with each part of our souls and works its own work there. And it does this because it is divine. No human words could be trusted to work the work in a human soul so unrestrictedly. It is not eloquence, poetry, nor argument, but something more than all these together. It is something peculiar and indescribable, which man could not have formed and which he cannot understand, that makes it so suitable for the soul of a foolish and sinful man.

May buhay kay Kristo. Mayaman, masaya, at kamangha-manghang buhay. Tama na ang Panginoon ay nagdidisiplina sa mga mahal Niya at kadalasan ay inuusig tayo ng mundo at ng ating kaaway, ang diyablo. Ngunit kung nalalaman natin kung paano lampasan ang mga pagsubok na ito at manatili sa krus ni Hesus Kristo at ituloy ang ating pananaw sa Panginoon, ang ating gantimpala rito sa lupa at sa langit ay aabot sa isandaang beses kaysa sa iniaalok ng mundo.Ang aklat na ito ay malawak at komprehensibo. Ipinapakita nito ang pagmamahal ng Diyos, sinusuri ang kalagayan ng kaluluwa ng hindi nakaligtas, at inaalam kung ano ang nangyari sa krus para sa ating mga kasalanan. Ang Daan tungo sa Diyos ay tumitingin nang tapat sa ating pangangailangan upang magsisi at sundin si Hesus, at nagbibigay ng pag-asa para sa walang hanggan at masayang buhay sa langit.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) has 90,000 missionaries in the field, seeking to convert members of Christian churches. Because the lessons these missionaries teach represent the core claims of Mormonism, this book interacts with those lessons from a biblical perspective.Written and edited by former Mormons who are now Christians, it includes insider knowledge, personal stories, cultural insights, evangelistic wisdom, and best practices from former LDS missionaries themselves, to help Christians fortify their own faith while learning how to share their faith wisely and effectively with Latter-day Saints.
God forbid that any of us should miss our crown at the great day of awards! God grant that we may receive a full reward!After the return of Christ for His church, there will be a great day of awards. Those who have been faithful will receive recognition at the hands of the Lord in the presence of the assembled hosts. Our reward will be in proportion to our faith and our faithfulness. Scripture tells us that one may be saved, yet be missing the peace and joy of God. After living such a life, one may be ushered into eternity just barely saved, as Paul puts it: so as through fire (1 Corinthians 3:15). This is not a very happy outlook, and God throws out danger signals all along the way so that we may turn aside from such mediocre living.Those who truly deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Christ will enter into God's presence with fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11). They will be welcomed with the shouts of angels and will be saluted with Well done, good and faithful servant by the Master Himself (Matthew 25:23). Such an entrance into glory is certainly to be desired, and such a joyous experience may be given to every consistent follower of Christ.The purpose of this book is to convince us to lay hold of the promises of God so that our lives may be so shaped according to His will that, when that day comes, we will stand before Him with rejoicing, not sorrow.
Confrontations can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone. Tim Barton, the new star quarterback at Cedarton, insists on playing a one-man game, sparking rebellion among the rest of the team. Each side is determined to break the other first. Can Danny bring reconciliation to the two sides before the championship game? Marilyn Foster's mother is adamant about sending Marilyn to a private school, in an effort to distance her from her Christian friends. Will Marilyn be forced to leave? What steps will Danny and Kay take to defuse these confrontations? What role will God play?
When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. - Matthew 25:31Whoever neglects the second coming of Christ has only a mutilated gospel, for the Bible teaches us not only of the death and sufferings of Christ, but also of His return to reign in honor and glory. His second coming is mentioned and referred to over three hundred times. There is hardly any church that does not make a great deal of baptism, yet in all of Paul's epistles, baptism is spoken of only thirteen times, while he speaks about the return of our Lord fifty times; and yet the church has had very little to say about it. The devil does not want us to see this truth, for nothing would wake up the church so much. The moment a man realizes that Jesus Christ is coming back again to receive His followers to Himself, this world loses its hold upon that man. Gas prices, technology innovations, and the stock market are of much less consequence to him then. His heart is free, and he looks for the blessed appearing of His Lord, who, at His coming, will take him into His blessed kingdom. Are you watching and ready for Christ's return for His bride? Are you occupied with the work He has given you to do in His kingdom here on earth, so that you may have a reward when He comes?
Danny and Ron Orlis drive to Zongolica, Mexico, to deliver a station wagon to the mission station where Kay's mother and Aunt Mabel serve as missionaries. Once there, they find themselves searching in the jungle for a lost ancient sacred cave. Dangers assault them from snakes, thieves, the swamp, and.... What does the future hold for their new friends Newton and Miguel? How will they survive? How will God protect them?
Danny and his cousin Grant are all set to enjoy some fishing time up in the Northwest Angle before school resumes. However, a thief is wreaking havoc for the Orlises and their neighbors. Unjustly accused of these crimes, Danny and Grant are determined to identify the real culprit. Amid danger and challenges, they discover that having a good name and reputation pays off.
The sermon on the mount is full of sweet variety. It is a piece of spiritual needlework that is worked throughout with various colors. This is both useful and pleasant. In this portion of Holy Scripture, you have a synopsis of the Christian religion. You have the Bible summarized. There is a garden of delight in this sermon. It is set with special growths where you may pick those flowers that will enrich the hidden man of your heart. In this sermon, you find the golden key that will open the gate of Paradise. It contains the channel of the gospel through which runs wine to sustain those who are poor in spirit and pure in heart. It is the rich cabinet in which the Pearl of Blessedness is locked up. It is the golden pot that contains the manna that will feed and refresh the soul unto everlasting life. It is a pathway that leads to the Holy of Holies.
With chains binding him to the edge of insanity, his cry echoes off the jail cell walls: "God help me!"Armenian immigrant Roger Munchian grew up among the violence and hopelessness of Los Angeles. Despite the surrounding violence, Munchian was a model student. No one would have suspected the hidden life of drugs, thievery, and violence bubbling behind that facade. His unquenchable thirst for money and power led him to build a multi-million dollar empire on drugs and violence. He ran fast. He ran hard. It took highway death and carnage to finally stop him. The high-speed collision with a highway median wall left twelve-time felon Munchian strapped to the crazy chair in a Maricopa County jail. Booked on two counts of vehicular homicide, he was certain to face death row. His road to wealth and power was bloody, as was his road to salvation. God heard his cry for help and arrived at his jail cell that night with a miracle. For the first time in Munchian's life, God was real. But his past caught up to him and his luck - bought by slick, high-priced lawyers and easy money - ran out. Munchian faced a lifetime of incarceration. His only hope was in the grace of God and the only way out of the mess was by turning his life completely over to Him.Based on a true story. Rescued Not Arrested is a story of how God shows Himself in our deepest depths of hopelessness - and how His love rescues us from our own paths of destruction.
...al contrario, si ustedes no se arrepienten, todos perecerán igualmente. Lucas 13:5Es la indiferencia que ignora a la gente y la permite salir por su cuenta. Es el amor, tierno amor que los advierte y que da el grito de alarma. El grito de "¡Fuego, fuego!" en la medianoche, aunque parezca brusco, áspero y desagradable, si sobresalta a una persona de su sueño, ¿quién se quejaría si el grito sirviera para salvarle la vida? A primera vista, las palabras si ustedes no se arrepienten, todos perecerán igualmente puedan parecer duras y severas, mas en realidad son palabras de amor, y podrían ser el medio de librar almas preciosas del infierno. Este libro corto por J. C. Ryle averigua los siguientes tres temas importantes.1.La esencia del arrepentimiento: ¿Qué es?2.La necesidad del arrepentimiento: ¿Por qué se necesita?3.Lo que anima uno a arrepentirse: ¿Qué es lo que conduce a la gente a arrepentirse?
Are you indeed alive unto God? Can you say with truth, "I was dead and am alive again; I was blind, but now I see"? Then accept this word of exhortation and lean your heart toward wisdom.Are you alive? Then see that you prove it by your actions. Be a consistent witness. Let your words, works, ways, and attitudes all tell the same story. Do not let your life be a poor, sluggish life, like that of a tortoise or a sloth. Instead, let it be an energetic and passionate life, like that of a deer or a bird. Let your grace shine out from all the windows of your conversation so that those who live near you may see that the Spirit is abiding in your heart. Do not let your light be a dim, flickering, uncertain flame, but let it burn steadily like the eternal fire on the altar and never become low. Let the savor of your religion, like Mary's precious ointment, fill all the houses where you live. Be a letter of Christ so clearly written and penned in such large, bold characters that those who run may read it (2 Corinthians 3:2). Let your Christianity be so unmistakable, your eye so clear, your heart so whole, and your walk so straightforward that all who see you may have no doubt about whose you are and whom you serve. If we are made alive by the Spirit, no one ought to be able to doubt it. Our conversation should declare plainly that we seek a better country - a heavenly one. It ought not to be necessary to tell people, as in the case of a badly painted picture, "This is a Christian." We ought not to be so sluggish and still that people will be forced to come close, look hard, and say, "Is he dead or alive?"

The time has come when a line should be drawn between the church and the world, and every Christian should give his heart and life completely to Christ. If it never troubles a man's conscience to spend a great deal of his time in questionable places of amusement and to take his family into places where there are degraded people for their own pleasure's sake, if he drives like Jehu all the week to make a dollar and moves like a snail toward spiritual things on the Sabbath- I believe that man is following the flesh; the divine nature is not in him; he is not walking after the Spirit, but after the flesh. Oh, God hates a sham! It means a good deal to be a Christian, and if a person is going to be a Christian, let him put off the old man with all his deeds and put on the new man with the righteousness of Christ. That is the kind of Christians we need at the present time, for to be carnally-minded is death; but to be spiritually-minded is life and peace.What are we going to do with the flesh? Let it be abolished! Let it be destroyed! Let us deny ourselves, take up crosses, and follow Christ. It is not God's plan to bring this corrupt body into His kingdom; it is going to be cast off at death, and, therefore, we had better put it away now.List of ChaptersCh. 1: The Ninety-First PsalmCh. 2: The Eighth Chapter of RomansCh. 3: TemptationCh. 4: Four Questions from GodCh. 5: The TransfigurationCh. 6: Mary and MarthaCh. 7: A Need for Revival
Mr. Spurgeon was emphatically the friend of the young. During the course of his successful and God-honored ministry, his supreme aim was to lead children and youth to Christ and to encourage and stimulate them in their aspirations after true nobility. Now that his voice is hushed, his powerful pen still speaks. In this book, with persuasive earnestness and characteristic force, he shows those who are standing upon the threshold of life how to make A Good Start.It is impossible to overestimate the importance of the start we make in the journey of life since it necessarily affects and largely determines all that follows. No life can be truly successful unless lived along the lines of Christian principles. The first step must be surrendering the heart to Christ, and all of life's journey must be lived in conscious fellowship with Him. In this way, we form true perceptions of life and duty, and are enabled to give practical embodiment to God's idea concerning us. It is during this character-forming time of life that wise counsel, faithful warning, and sympathetic admonition are especially valuable.
Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him (1 Corinthians 2:9) Although this is a small book, yet it presents you with matters of the greatest and most weighty concern, even with a discourse of life and death to eternity. It reveals and clarifies, by the Scriptures of God, that the time is at hand when there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust - even of the bodies of both, from the graves where they are, or will be, at the start of that day.In these few lines, you also have the order and manner of the rising of these two types of people, wherein it is shown to you with great clearness with what body they will then rise, as well as their condition at that day.You will here see the truth, including the manner of the terrible judgment, the opening of the books, and the examining of witnesses, with a final conclusion upon good and bad. If you are godly, then through God's blessing, this will encourage you to go on in the faith of the truth of the gospel; but if you are ungodly, then you may meet with conviction, and you will see what will be, without fail, your end at the end of the world whether you continue in your sins or repent. If you continue in your sins, you will meet with despair, darkness, and everlasting destruction; but if you repent and believe the gospel, then you will find light, life, joy, comfort, glory, and happiness throughout all eternity.
Oh, careless sinners, I wish you only knew the love that you unthankfully neglect and the preciousness of the blood of Christ that you despise! Oh, that you only knew the riches of the gospel! Oh, that you only knew a little of the certainty, the glory, and the blessedness of that everlasting life that you will not now set your hearts upon or be persuaded to seek diligently now! If you only knew the endless life with God that you now neglect, you would quickly cast away your sin, change your mind and life, change your course and company, turn the direction of your devotion, and spend your energy and time another way. If you will turn and live, do it determinedly, and do not stand still and deliberate as if it were a doubtful case. Do not stand around wavering as if you were uncertain whether God or the flesh is the better master, whether sin or holiness is the better way, or whether heaven or hell is the better result. Away with your former lusts, and immediately, unceasingly, and wholeheartedly resolve! Do not be of one mind one day and of another mind the next, but be done with the world, and resolvedly give up yourselves and all that you have to God. Before Satan has time to distract you or entice you to change your mind, take a stand for God! You will never truly turn until you resolve, and do so with a firm, unchangeable decision.
Está atento a la voz de mi clamor, Rey mío y Dios mío, porque es a ti a quien oro. - Salmo 5:2 Este libro es un estudio exhaustivo sobre el tema de la oración, y le mostrará al lector que hay nueve elementos que son esenciales para la verdadera oración. Estos elementos son los siguientes: Adoración - Para comenzar no podemos acercarnos a Dios en un mismo nivel. Debemos acercarnos a él sabiendo que está más allá de nuestro alcance o vista.Confesión - El pecado debe ser quitado del camino. No podemos tener ninguna comunión con Dios mientras haya alguna desobediencia de por medio. Restitución - Tenemos que enmendar el mal hecho, siempre que sea posible.Acción de gracias - Debemos estar agradecidos por lo que Dios ya ha hecho por nosotros.Perdón - Debemos perdonar a los demás y arrancar cualquier raíz de amargura que pueda estar creciendo.Unidad - Amarse los unos a los otros trae poder en la oración.Fe - Debe haber fe, producida por los elementos anteriores.Petición - Así, influenciados por estos elementos, estaremos listos para ofrecer peticiones directas a Dios. Es necesario que haya más petición en nuestras oraciones. Sumisión - Después de todo esto, debe venir la sumisión. Al orar, debemos estar dispuestos a aceptar la voluntad de Dios. Dwight Moody expone estos nueve elementos de la oración en este volumen, utilizando ilustraciones e historias para validar lo que está diciendo y para ayudar a que las verdades de este libro sean de impacto al lector.

The kind of person on whom I look with favor is one with a poor and humble spirit, who trembles at my word. - Isaiah 66:2What is better than fellowship with God? Can anything on earth satisfy or bless us as He does? How overwhelming it is when we realize that the almighty Creator and Sustainer of the universe desires to look on us with favor. Scripture says that the Lord will look with favor on the one who is humble and contrite and who trembles at His Word. This word look in Hebrew is nabat, and it means "to regard, to consider, or to pay attention to." In plain words, we're told that the God-fearing person who hates what He hates and loves what He loves is the one the Lord pays favorable attention to.To experience the favor of God is amazing and incredible, to say the least. Journey through this book with me and consider the Scriptures that tell us what the Lord hates and what He loves. Ask the Lord to teach you to live with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength for Him, in such a way that He will look upon you with favor. * * * *My friend Rabbi Greg Hershberg has written one of the most practical books I've seen in a long time. If we love God, we should desire to better understand what He loves . . . and what He hates. If you desire to walk more fully in God's favor, this book is for you!Rabbi Jonathan BernisHost of Jewish VoiceEvery true believer desires an intimacy with God that is authentic and meaningful. We want to please Him, and in turn, we want Him to be pleased with us. Rabbi Greg Hershberg's new book, Things God Hates, Things God Loves, is a powerful revelation of God's desire to bless His children and be in close communion with them. As sons of Adam, we desperately want a Genesis 2 walk with the Lord while living in a Genesis 3 fallen world. Jesus made a restored relationship possible through the cross and empty tomb. This book shows us what a close intimate walk with God looks like and how we can achieve it.Dr. H.
