In an age where pleasing people, puffing up your ego and building your résumé are seen as the methods to "make it", the Apostle Paul calls us to find true rest in blessed self forgetfulness. In this short and punchy book, best selling author Timothy Keller, shows that gospel humility means we can stop connecting every experience, every conversation with ourselves and can thus be free from self condemnation. A truly gospel humble person is not a self-hating person or a self-loving person, but a self-forgetful person.

This volume includes: "The End of Financial Folly" by Bill Hybels: Whether Christians will tithe to God reveals much about them. "Treasure Versus Money" by Timothy J. Keller: When we hold Jesus as our treasure, we can break the power of money. "What Do You Need to Be Happy?" by Francis Chan: When we give everything to Christ, we discover the secret of being content. "Miriam, Aaron, and the Green-Eyed Monster" by Nancy Beach: We often think of envy as a "petty" sin, but God clearly shows his anger about envy in this story.

It's not enough to plant individual churches in isolation from each other. The spiritual need and opportunity of our cities is too big for any one church to meet alone. Pastors Neil Powell and John James contend that to truly transform a city, the gospel compels us to create localized, collaborative church planting movements. They share lessons learned and principles discovered from their experiences leading a successful citywide movement. The more willing we are to collaborate across denominations and networks, the more effectively we will reach our communities for Jesus.

Why would someone risk his safety, destroy his schedule, and become dirty and bloody to help a needy person of another race and social class? And why would Jesus tell us "Go and do likewise"? Like the wounded man on the Jericho road, there are needy people in our path- the widow next door, the family strapped with medical bills, the homeless man outside our place of worship. God call us to be ministers of mercy to people in need of shelter, assistance, medical care, or just friendship.

Dan Strange encourages Christians to engage with everything they watch, to read and play in a positive and discerning way. He also teaches Christians how to think and speak about culture in a way that plugs in to a bigger and better reality - the story of King Jesus, and his cosmic plan for the world. It's possible to watch TV and read novels and play video games in a way that actually feeds our faith, rather than withers it. It's even possible for you - yes, you - to be that person who starts off talking to a mate about last night's football and ends up talking about Jesus.

Em Deuses falsos, Timothy Keller mostra que uma compreensão adequada da Bíblia revela a verdade acerca da sociedade e de nosso próprio coração. Nessa mensagem poderosa, enxergamos nossa tendência de buscar em outras coisas aquilo que só Deus pode nos dar. Também somos apresentados a um novo caminho: aquele que leva a uma esperança que não pode ser abalada pelas circunstâncias da vida.

You can choose where you live, serve, learn, and give. What about where you invest? What if you could align your investments with God’s heart? Imagine the impact that you could have.

"The Christian's Happiness" by Timothy J. Keller- Your bad things turn out for good, your good things can never be lost, and the best things are yet to come. "Fourth Man in the Furnace" by John Ortberg- Christ meets us in our worst trials. "Loss, Loyalty, and Lament" by Mark Mitchell- In the midst of our loss, God is still at work, and his ultimate aim is to bless. "God In Our Sorrow" by Mark Buchanan- God meets us in the whole range of our human experience.

Our world has been torn asunder by racial, ethnic, and ideological differences. It is seen in our politics, felt in our families, and ingrained in our theology. Sadly, the church has often reinforced these ethnic and racial divides. To cast off the ugliness of disunity and heal our fractured humanity, we must cultivate spiritual practices that help us pursue beautiful community. In The Beautiful Community, pastor and theologian Irwyn Ince boldly unpacks the reasons for our divisions while gently guiding us toward our true hope for wholeness and reconciliation.

Die Auferstehung Jesu ist das Herzstück des christlichen Glaubens. Sie bringt die Kraft Gottes, die eines Tages die Welt heilen und erneuern wird, in unser heutiges Leben. Diese Macht ist jetzt zwar nur teilweise da, jedoch wesentlich - und das gibt Christen eine realistische, aber unbändige Hoffnung. Es ist eine Hoffnung auf Veränderung in unserem Leben und in unserer Gesellschaft - eine Hoffnung, die Christen in jeder Hinsicht verändert und jeden Aspekt unseres Lebens prägt.

Ist der Beruf nur "Job" zum Broterwerb, in dem man sich anständig verhalten und, sofern Christ, möglichst Zeugnis von seinem Glauben ablegen sollte? Oder ist alle Arbeit, ob mit den Händen oder dem Kopf, ein Zeichen unserer Menschenwürde - weil sie das Bild Gottes, des Schöpfers, in uns spiegelt? Tim Keller wendet in seiner unnachahmlichen Art biblische Weisheit auf unser Leben an und gibt inspirierende Antworten auf die zentralen Fragen.

Warum gibt es so viel Schmerz und Leid in der Welt? Wie können wir mit Leid, das uns persönlich trifft, umgehen, sodass wir daran nicht zerbrechen, sondern wachsen? Unzählige Bücher sind geschrieben worden, um sich diesem Problem philosophisch und intellektuell zu nähern. Ebenso zahllos sind die Bücher und Filme, die uns persönliche Geschichten über das Leid erzählen. Timothy Keller bindet beide Ebenen zusammen - und findet die Antwort in dem, was die Bibel zum Leid zu sagen hat.

Unsere moderne Kultur will uns glauben machen, dass es bei der Ehe vor allem darum geht, dass man verliebt ist und dass man "den Passenden" gefunden hat. Und aus "bis dass der Tod uns scheidet" ist geworden: "Solange meine Bedürfnisse befriedigt werden." Solange wir nicht fähig sind, die Ehe durch die Brille der Bibel zu betrachten und nicht durch die engen Sehschlitze unserer Kultur, werden wir nicht in der Lage sein, fundierte Entscheidungen über unsere eigene eheliche Zukunft zu treffen.

Das Evangelium verändert unser ganzes Leben, zeigt Timothy Keller in dieser Auslegung des Galaterbriefes. Der Kommentar ist nicht akademisch ausgerichtet. Er macht den Galaterbrief zugänglich und bietet relevante Anwendungen für unser Leben. Er kann wie jedes andere Buch von vorne bis hinten gelesen werden, für die Stille Zeit verwendet werden, zur Predigtvorbereitung genutzt werden oder um Hauskreise anzuleiten. Neben dem Kommentar liegt ein Arbeitsheft für Gruppen und Leiter vor, um das Buch in einer Kleingruppe zu studieren.

In centuries past, the church used catechisms to teach foundational Christian doctrines. In today’s world of shifting beliefs, this communal practice of learning biblical truth via questions and answers is more needed than ever before. Seeking to restore this ancient method of teaching to the regular life of the church, The New City Catechism Devotional is a gospel-centered, modern-day resource that not only summarizes important Christian beliefs through 52 questions and answers but also helps listeners be transformed by those doctrines.

[Übersetzt und herausgegeben von Restauratio - www.restauratio.org] Das Christentum befindet sich im Westen im Rückgang. Die Kirchen in den Vereinigten Staaten, Kanada, Australien und Europa schließen ihre Türen in immer schnellerem Tempo. Wie wird die Kirche darauf reagieren? In diesem kurzen, aber umfassenden Buch argumentiert der New-York-Times-Bestsellerautor und Pastor Timothy Keller, dass dieser Rückgang uns dazu veranlassen sollte, die Mission der Kirche von Grund auf neu zu überdenken. Mit der frühen Kirche als Leitfaden müssen Gemeinden und einzelne Christen uns selbst, unsere...

In this book, Jake Meador diagnoses our society's decline as the failure of a particular story we've told about ourselves: the story of modern liberalism. He shows us how that story has led to our collective loss of meaning, wonder, and good work, and then recovers each of these by grounding them in a different story - a story rooted in the deep tradition of the Christian faith.

Timothy Keller aborda las frecuentes dudas que escépticos e incrédulos plantean al mundo de la fe.

Y a los escépticos, ateos, y agnósticos les presenta un desafiante argumento para determinar si es razonable creer en Dios.

The average American watches five hours of TV every day. Collectively, we spend roughly $30 billion on movies each year. Simply put, we're entertainment junkies. But can we learn something from our insatiable addiction to stories? Mike Cosper thinks so. From horror flicks to rom-coms, the tales we tell and the myths we weave inevitably echo the narrative underlying all of history: the story of humanity's tragic sin and God's triumphant salvation.
