Founder of Teen Challenge Shows How to Overcome Persistent Sins This is David Wilkerson's capstone teaching, poured out from a heart that discovered the power God has given his people to triumph over sin. Through Wilkerson's expert ability to blend teaching with personal application, he shows that the key to defeating life-controlling habits is found in one thing: the new covenant God enacted with his people. In today's era of pop psychology, most Christians battle temptation and sin through self-help techniques or gritty self-will. Even Wilkerson, through decades of ministry that led hundreds of thousands to salvation and deliverance, struggled to know true peace as he battled his own "besetting sins." Determined to find victory, Wilkerson came to grasp the stunning reality that the vast love of God provides the spiritual resources believers need to obey his every command. Gathered from some of his most prominent sermons, this is one of Wilkerson's most powerful teachings--one that will redeem countless lives into the life-giving experience of purity.

What beliefs are core to the Christian faith? This book is here to help you understand the reason for your hope as a Christian so that you can see it with fresh sight and invite others into the conversation. A lot of Christians take their story—the narratives that give rise to their beliefs—for granted. They pray, go to church, perhaps even read their Bible. But they might be stuck if a stranger asked them to explain what they believe and why they believe it. Author, pastor, and theologian Mike Horton unpacks the essential and basic beliefs that all Christians share in a way that is easy to understand and applicable to our lives today. And in a way that will make you excited to be a Christian! Core Christianity covers topics like: Jesus as both fully God and fully man. The doctrine of the Trinity. The goodness of God despite a broken world. The ways God speaks. The meaning of salvation. What is the Christian calling? Includes discussion questions for individual or group use. This introduction to the basic doctrines of Christianity is perfect for those who are new to the faith, as well as those who have an interest in deepening their understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.

Because “It Is Finished” by Professor William P. Mashela Because “It Is Finished” You Can Still Be Successful posits that humankind was created for a specific role—to be successful in advancing the agenda of the Kingdom of Heaven—and was blessed in the Kingdom of God to be creative, innovative, and competitive. Despite numerous attempts by Satan to derail the Original Master Plan for the creation of humankind, with the restoration on the CROSS and the declaration “it is finished,” humankind can still be successful, if behavioral activities are aligned to the minimum standards of obedience. After creation, humankind was given a series of strategic tools for guidance: First was the Original Equation of Success, which was followed by the Unifying Equation of Success, and then the Restored Equation of Success, which serves as the central theme of this book. Jesus explained in parables the minimum standards of obedience that humankind should embrace in order to be successful, and in Because “It Is Finished” You Can Still Be Successful, Professor Mashela explores these biblical teachings and parables on how we can structure our behavior for genuine success.
