He did not issue a call for changes, even by peaceful means. Nor did Jesus rally supporters in a grandiose attempt to "capture the culture" for morality or greater political and religious freedoms. Rather, His divine calling was to rescue the lost souls of individual men and women from sin and hell.</p><p>"A certain amount of healthy and balanced concern about current trends in government and the community is acceptable, as long as we realize that such interest is not vital to our spiritual lives, our righteous testimony or the advancement of the kingdom of Christ.

Dr. MacArthur will explore these areas:</p><ul><li>Christians' Responsibility to authority</li><li>How and why to support our leaders</li><li>How to live righteously in a pagan culture</li><li>The principle of paying taxes</li><li>Jesus' lessons on tax exemptions</li><li>The biblical purpose of government</li><li>The principle and reasons for civil obedience</li></ul><p>"To devote <i>all</i>, or even <i>most</i>, or our time, energy, money, and strategy to putting a facade of morality on the world or the appearance of 'rightness' over our governmental and political institutions is to badly misunderstand our roles as Christians in a spiritually lost world."-John MacArthur</p><p><b>In this book find out your Christian responsibility to government and political causes.</b></p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20000918 2000 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

The rugged, gaunt prophet from the obscure town of Tishbeh became God's powerful instrument of confrontation.</p><p>Alone, Elijah faced off with over four hundred prophets of the false god Baal…and won. Yet, on another occasion, he became so terrified of a woman that he ran for his life. He was a man who God sent His ravens to fee. A man who God loved so much that He prepared a special chariot and horses of fire to transport him from earth to heaven. He was Elijah-the man in a whirlwind, the humble hero.</p><p align="center"><i>"Like a meteor, he flashed across the inky blackness of Israel's spiritual night."</i></p><p align="center">-J. Oswald Sanders</p><p>Like Elijah, we're all subject to times of bravery and times of fear. One day we're able to face life with a smile; the next, we feel crushed by its oppressive weight. We vacillate from courageous to cowardly, from hopeful to hopeless. Like Elijah, we are ordinary people with seemingly overwhelming problems. And the answer is in God alone as the name "Elijah" indicates: It means, "The Lord is my God."</p><p>He lived courageously with his peers and walked humbly with his God.</p><p>Where are great leaders like Elijah today? Uncompromisingly strong, yet self-controlled. Disciplined, yet forgiving. Audaciously courageous, yet kind. Heroic in the heat of battle, yet humble in the aftermath.</p><p>We see a few such men and women, but the list is tragically short. Rarely does someone model these invaluable traits more obviously than God's mighty prophet Elijah, whose calling was anything but calm and free from conflict. Nevertheless, as you are about to discover in this book. Elijah exemplified true heroism and genuine humility amid the relentless pressure of battle.</p><p><i>Elijah: A Man of Heroism and Humility</i> is the fifth volume in the best-selling Great Lives from God's Word series by Charles Swindoll. The series also includes such powerful biographies as <i>Joseph, David, Esther, </i>and<i> Moses.</i></p><p>Exploring the depths of Elijah's fascinating life as a prophet of God, Swindoll does not gloss over his human weaknesses; rather, he presents an honest picture of this ordinary man who God transformed into His personal spokesman to confront idolatry and evil in the ancient world. You will find that it's a life worth emulating.</p><p>In a world that has lost its way, due in part to the lack of balanced, godly leadership, we are more than ever in need of a few Elijah-like men and women who are not afraid to live courageously among their peers as they walk humbly with their God.</p><p>"May this book establish deep within you a desire to stand strong for what is right as you bow low before Him who is worthy of your trust and obedience."-Charles Swindoll</p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20001003 2000 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

Salvation, Paul stresses is "not by works, so that no one can boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). But James argues, "Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works" (2:18). In fact, he asserts, "Faith without works is dead."</p><p>In his characteristic compelling style Dr. MacArthur reconciles these two seemingly divergent threads of biblical truth, taking on the difficult questions head on:</p><ul><li><p>What is cheap grace?</li><li><p>Have some Christians adopted a quot;no-lordship" theology?</li><li><p>What must a person do to be considered righteous by God?</li><li><p>Do our works have any affect on our salvation?</li></ul><p>Jesus asked his followers, "Why do you call me Lord and not do the things that I tell you to?" When John MacArthur dared in his earlier book to ask us this question, critics accused him of shelving grace. Others read the same book and heard in it the identical message preached since the founding of the Church.</p><p>Will this book clear the air or revive the controversy?</p><p>"<i>The Gospel According to the Apostles</i> is the same gospel Jesus preached," Dr. MacArthur says, "but it differs dramatically from the diluted message popular today.

David, Old Testament shepherd, king, and psalmist, offers an answer in the shape of his own life.</p><p>In many ways he was a most extraordinary man-intelligent, handsome, abundantly gifted as a poet, musician, warrior, and administrator. Yet in other ways he was a most ordinary man-often gripped by destructive passion, rocked by family chaos and personal tragedy, and motivated by political expediency. How did David become the national hero of God's chosen people? Why is he the one character in the Bible described as a "man after God's own heart?" Chuck Swindoll explores the many facets of David-from his teenaged years and dysfunctional family life to his overwhelming passion for God.</p><p>David's life offers hope to all of us. It shows how devotion doesn't mean perfection-that God loves us in spite of our weaknesses, and can do extraordinary things through ordinary men and women. David offers an insightful and timeless perspective on what it means to be truly spiritual, to become like David-men and women after God's own heart.</p><p><i>David</i> is the first of a multi-volume series exploring Great Lives from the Bible and mining them for the qualities that made them great. Chuck Swindoll wants to show us that these great men and women were not great in and of themselves-in fact most of them were humble and ordinary as you and I. They became great when they placed themselves at the Lord's disposal, allowing Him to develop within them the marks of true character: humility, purity, authenticity, and integrity. To live a life God considers "great" is within the reach of everyone who submits to Him.</p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20001019 2000 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

Here, both evangelicals and Roman Catholic authors ask whether the time has come to present a united front against the onslaught of publicly sanctioned unbelief in the land.</p> <p>Growing out of a historic seminar in the spring of 1994, this bold statement with its probing questions admits the deep differences in Roman Catholic and evangelical attitudes toward the Church, Papal authority, and the sacraments. But it also holds that with more openness, and more clarity about continuing doctrinal differences, enough common ground can be found to engage the larger enemy of skepticism that threatens the country's foundations.</p> <p>Several of the contributors to this book have been criticized for daring to suggest cooperation between evangelicals and Roman Catholics. They respond with careful concern for their detractors but affirm courageously with Martin Luther: "Here I stand. I cannot do otherwise."</p> <p>All thinking Christians owe it to themselves to see whether this conviction is based on God's Word - and to consider the shared spiritual commitment proposed by these authors.</p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 19950926 1995 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

You've seen them-everything they own crammed into their luggage. Staggering through terminals and hotel lobbies with overstuffed suitcases, trunks, duffels, and backpacks. Backs ache. Feet burn. Eyelids droop. We've all seen people like that. At times, we are people like that-if not with our physical luggage, then at least with our spiritual load. We all lug loads we were never intended to carry. Fear. Worry. Discontent. No wonder we get so weary. We're worn out from carrying that excess baggage. Wouldn't it be nice to lose some of those bags? That's the invitation of Max Lucado. With the Twenty-third Psalm as our guide, let's release some of the burdens we were never intended to bear. </p> 23 02 <br> The Burden of Worry <p align="left"><i>He leads me beside the still waters. </i>-Psalm 23:2 NKJV</p> <b>Y</b>our ten-year-old is worried. So anxious he can't eat. So worried he can't sleep. "What's wrong?" you inquire. He shakes his head and moans, "I don't even have a pension plan." <p>Or your four-year-old is crying in bed. "What's wrong, sweetheart?" She whimpers, "I'll never pass college chemistry."</p> <p>Your eight-year-old's face is stress-struck. "I'll be a rotten parent. What if I set a poor example for my kids?"</p> <p>How would you respond to such statements? Besides calling a child psychologist, your response would be emphatic: "You're too young to worry about those things. When the time comes, you'll know what to do."</p> <p>Fortunately, most kids don't have such thoughts.</p> <p>Unfortunately, we adults have more than our share. Worry is the burlap bag of burdens. It's overflowing with "whaddifs" and "howells." "Whaddif it rains at my wedding?" "Howell I know when to discipline my kids?" "Whaddif I marry a guy who snores?" "Howell we pay our baby's tuition?" "Whaddif, after all my dieting, they learn that lettuce is fattening and chocolate isn't?" </p> <p>The burlap bag of worry. Cumbersome. Chunky. Unattractive. Scratchy. Hard to get a handle on. Irritating to carry and impossible to give away. No one wants your worries. <p>The truth be told, you don't want them either. No one has to remind you of the high cost of anxiety. (But I will anyway.) Worry divides the mind. The biblical word for worry (merimnao) is a compound of two Greek words, merizo ("to divide") and nous ("the mind"). Anxiety splits our energy between today's priorities and tomorrow's problems. Part of our mind is on the now; the rest is on the not yet. The result is half-minded living.</p> <p>That's not the only result. Worrying is not a disease, but it causes diseases. It has been connected to high blood pressure, heart trouble, blindness, migraine headaches, thyroid malfunctions, and a host of stomach disorders. </p> <p>Anxiety is an expensive habit. Of course, it might be worth the cost if it worked. But it doesn't. Our frets are futile. Jesus said, "You cannot add any time to your life by worrying about it" (Matt. 6:27). Worry has never brightened a day, solved a problem, or cured a disease. </p> <p>How can a person deal with anxiety? You might try what one fellow did. He worried so much that he decided to hire someone to do his worrying for him. He found a man who agreed to be his hired worrier for a salary of $200,000 per year. After the man accepted the job, his first question to his boss was, "Where are you going to get $200,000 per year?" To which the man responded, "That's your worry." </p> <p>Sadly, worrying is one job you can't farm out, but you can overcome it. There is no better place to begin than in verse two of the shepherd's psalm. </p> <p>"He leads me beside the still waters," David declares. And, in case we missed the point, he repeats the phrase in the next verse: "He leads me in the paths of righteousness." </p> <p>"He leads me." God isn't behind me, yelling, "Go!" He is ahead of me, bidding, "Come!" He is in front, clearing the path, cutting the brush, showing the way. Just before the curve, he says, "Turn here." Prior to the rise, he motions, "Step up here." Standing next to the rocks, he warns, "Watch your step here." </p> <p>He leads us. He tells us what we need to know when we need to know it. As a New Testament writer would affirm: "We will find grace to help us <i>when we need it</i>" (Heb. 4:16 NLT, emphasis mine). </p> <p>Listen to a different translation: "Let us therefore boldly approach the throne of our gracious God, where we may receive mercy and in his grace find <i>timely help</i>" (Heb. 4:16 NEB, emphasis mine).</p> <p>God's help is timely. He helps us the same way a father gives plane tickets to his family. When I travel with my kids, I carry all our tickets in my satchel. When the moment comes to board the plane, I stand between the attendant and the child. As each daughter passes, I place a ticket in her hand. She, in turn, gives the ticket to the attendant. Each one receives the ticket in the nick of time. </p> <p>What I do for my daughters God does for you. He places himself between you and the need. And at the right time, he gives you the ticket. Wasn't this the promise he gave his disciples? "When you are arrested and judged, don't worry ahead of time about what you should say. Say whatever is given you to say at that time, because it will not really be you speaking; it will be the Holy Spirit" (Mark 13:11, emphasis mine).</p> <p>Isn't this the message God gave the children of Israel? He promised to supply them with manna each day. But he told them to collect only one day's supply at a time. Those who disobeyed and collected enough for two days found themselves with rotten manna. The only exception to the rule was the day prior to the Sabbath. On Friday they could gather twice as much. Otherwise, God would give them what they needed, in their time of need.</p> <p><i>God leads us. God will do the right thing at the right time. And what a difference that makes.</i> </p> <p>Since I know his provision is timely, I can enjoy the present. </p> <p>"Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes" (Matt. 6:34 MSG).</p> <p>That last phrase is worthy of your highlighter: "when the time comes." </p> <p>"I don't know what I'll do if my husband dies." You will, when the time comes.</p> <p>"When my children leave the house, I don't think I can take it." It won't be easy, but strength will arrive when the time comes. </p> <p>"I could never lead a church. There is too much I don't know." You may be right. Or you may be wanting to know everything too soon. Could it be that God will reveal answers to you <i>when the time comes</i>? </p> <p>The key is this: Meet today's problems with today's strength. Don't start tackling tomorrow's problems until tomorrow. You do not have tomorrow's strength yet. You simply have enough for today. </p> <p>More than eighty years ago a great Canadian man of medicine, Sir William Osler, delivered a speech to the students of Yale University entitled "A Way of Life." In the message he related an event that occurred while he was aboard an ocean liner. </p> <p>One day while he was visiting with the ship's captain, a loud, piercing alarm sounded, followed by strange grinding and crashing sounds below the deck. "Those are our watertight compartments closing," the captain explained. "It's an important part of our safety drill. In case of real trouble, water leaking into one compartment would not affect the rest of the ship. Even if we should collide with an iceberg, as did the Titanic, water rushing in will fill only that particular ruptured compartment. The ship, however, will still remain afloat."</p> <p>When he spoke to the students at Yale, Osler remembered the captain's description of the boat: </p> <p></p> Each one of you is certainly a much more marvelous organization than that great liner and bound on a far longer voyage. What I urge is that you learn to master your life by living each day in a day-tight compartment and this will certainly ensure your safety throughout your entire journey of life. Touch a button and hear, at every level of your life, the iron doors shutting out the Past-the dead yesterdays. Touch another and shut off, with a metal curtain, the Future-the unborn tomorrows. Then you are safe-safe for today. <p></p> <p>Think not of the amount to be accomplished, the difficulties to be overcome, but set earnestly at the little task near your elbow, letting that be sufficient for the day; for surely our plain duty is not to see what lies dimly at a distance but to do what lies clearly at hand.</p> <p>Jesus made the same point in fewer words: "So don't worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will have its own worries. Each day has enough trouble of its own" (Matt. 6:34).</p> <p>Easy to say. Not always easy to do, right? We are so prone to worry. Just last night I was worrying in my sleep. I dreamed that I was diagnosed with ALS, a degenerative muscle disease, which took the life of my father. I awakened from the dream and, right there in the middle of the night, began to worry. Then Jesus' words came to my mind, "Don't worry about tomorrow." And for once, I decided not to. I dropped the burlap sack. After all, why let tomorrow's imaginary problem rob tonight's rest? Can I prevent the disease by staying awake? Will I postpone the affliction by thinking about it? Of course not. So I did the most spiritual thing I could have done. I went back to sleep. </p> <p>Why don't you do the same? God is leading you. Leave tomorrow's problems until tomorrow. </p> <p>Arthur Hays Sulzberger was the publisher of the New York Times during the Second World War. Because of the world conflict, he found it almost impossible to sleep. He was never able to banish worries from his mind until he adopted as his motto these five words-"one step enough for me"-taken from the hymn "Lead Kindly Light."</p> <p><i>Lead, kindly Light . . .</i></p> <p>Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see</p> <p>The distant scene; one step enough for me. </p> <p>God isn't going to let you see the distant scene either. So you might as well quit looking for it. He promises a lamp unto our feet, not a crystal ball into the future.3 We do not need to know what will happen tomorrow. We only need to know he leads us and "we will find grace to help us when we need it" (Heb. 4:16 NLT).</p> <p>  </p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20060418 2006 06 02 0849912970 02 0849963265 02 1418505013 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

As he examines every angle of Christ's birth-from the heavenly announcement, to the mixed reactions and the powerful ramification-the superiority and preeminence of Jesus Christ will shine through and speak volumes about creation, redemption, and divine destiny.</p> 23 02 <p><br> CHAPTER ONE:</p> The Amazing Fact of the Virgin Birth <b>E</b>xtraordinary births are certainly not unprecedented in biblical history. As part of the Abrahamic Covenant, God promised to send a son to Abraham and Sarah (Gen. 17:19-22). They were both beyond normal childbearing ages and laughed at the prospect of being parents, yet they ultimately witnessed the miraculous arrival of their son, Isaac (Gen. 21:1-3). In Judges 13, an angel of the Lord told Manoah and his barren wife that they would have a special son. True to the heavenly messenger's words, Samson entered the world and for a time delivered the Israelites from the oppression of the Philistines. <p> Samuel, the first prophet, final judge, and anointer of kings, also demonstrated in his birth the providential power of God. He was the answer to the faithful, persevering prayers of his godly mother, Hannah, who had remained childless until then. John the Baptist's mother, Elizabeth, was also unable to have children until God graciously intervened when she was in her sixties or seventies and made her the mother of the forerunner of Christ (Luke 1:15-17, 76-79). But none of those special births was as amazing as the virgin birth of the Son of God, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.</p> <p><b><br> UNBELIEF REGARDING THE VIRGIN BIRTH</b></p> <p> Even though the fact of Jesus' virgin birth is clearly and concisely stated in Scripture, the unconverted mind of sinful humanity, as with all essential doctrines of the Christian faith, resists embracing the truth of His unique birth.</p> <p> First of all, ancient mythologies and world religions counterfeited Christ's virgin birth with a proliferation of bizarre stories and inaccurate parallels. These stories undercut and minimized the uniqueness and profound impact of our Lord's birth. Several accounts illustrate the point. The Romans claimed that Zeus impregnated Semele without contact and produced Dionysus, lord of the earth. Babylonian religion asserted that a sunbeam in the priestess Semiramis conceived Tammuz, the Sumerian fertility god (Ezek. 8:14). Buddha's mother allegedly saw a large white elephant enter her belly when she conceived the deified Indian philosopher. Hinduism teaches that the divine Vishnu, after living as a fish, tortoise, boar, and lion, entered Devaki's womb and became her son, Krishna. Satan has propagated other similar legends, all with the purpose of undermining the nature of Christ's birth and deceiving people into seeing it as just another myth or nothing exceptional.</p> <p> In addition, the scientific age and the emergence of modern and postmodern theologies during the past two centuries have eroded many professed believers' confidence in the reality of the virgin birth. (Along with that trend has been a noticeable decline in the percentage of "Christians" who believe in the deity of Christ.) But such skeptical thinking is foolish and directly contrary to the explicit teaching of all four Gospels, the Epistles, and the historical testimony of the entire early church that Jesus was none other than the virgin-born Son of God.</p> <p> Unfortunately, a heart attitude of unbelief concerning Jesus' identity has characterized the majority of men and women since the Fall. The Jews who opposed Christ vividly illustrated that attitude on more than one occasion (John 5:18; 7:28-30; 10:30-39). But such hostility and lack of faith should not discourage us or deter us from embracing and defending the truth of Christ's virgin birth. The apostle Paul reminds us, "For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar" (Rom. 3:3-4, 10:16; Isa. 53:1). The world's opinion, popular as it might be, is rarely a reliable source of truth.</p> <p> Undoubtedly, therefore, the Holy Spirit acted with significant purpose in devoting an early passage from the Gospel of Matthew, at the front of the New Testament, to establish right away the humanity and deity of our Lord. His incarnation, properly understood, is foundational to Christianity. There could have been no genuine work of redemption apart from the fact of God becoming man and, by being both completely God and completely man, reconciling people to Himself through His substitutionary death and physical resurrection. If Jesus had not been both human and divine, there would be no gospel. (For further discussion on the necessity of believing and proclaiming the truth of Christ's virgin birth and deity, see chapter 8 of my book Nothing but the Truth [Wheaton, Ill.: Crossway, 1999]).</p> <p> Many skeptical New Testament commentators will concede that Matthew and other authors of Scripture sincerely believed and taught that the Holy Spirit conceived Jesus without any assistance from a human father. But such interpreters nevertheless glibly discount the validity of Scripture's claims by immediately asserting that its writers were naive, uneducated, and subject to the myths and superstitions of ancient times. According to the critics, the Gospel writers merely adapted some of the familiar virgin birth legends to the story of Jesus' birth.</p> <p> But nothing could be further from the truth. Matthew's account, for example, reads as history, but it is history he could know and record only because God revealed it and accomplished it by miraculous intervention. Matthew's words are far superior to the immoral and repulsive nature of the secular stories he and the other writers allegedly drew from. Here is his clear, uncomplicated narrative of the Incarnation:</p> <blockquote> <p> Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." </p> <p> So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us." </p> <p> Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus. (Matthew 1:18-25)</p> </blockquote> <p> Matthew declares Jesus' divine lineage in this passage and reveals five aspects of His virgin birth: its first announcement, Joseph's response to it, the angel's clarification of it, its connection to prophecy, and its actual occurrence.</p> <p><br> <b>THE VIRGIN BIRTH ANNOUNCED</b></p> <p> Matthew needs only one verse (1:18) to announce the fact of Christ's virgin birth. Such a concise statement, though it doesn't all by itself prove the point, strongly suggests that the notion of our Lord and Savior's virgin birth was not simply a man-made story. A human author, writing strictly on his own initiative, would characteristically tend to describe such a momentous and amazing event in an expansive, detailed, and elaborate manner. But not the apostle Matthew. He does relate additional circumstances surrounding the virgin birth, but the basic fact is stated in one simple sentence: "After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit."</p> <p> Matthew devotes the previous seventeen verses to Jesus' human genealogy but just this part of one verse to His divine genealogy. As the Son of God, Jesus "descended" from His heavenly Father by a miraculous and never-repeated act of the Holy Spirit; even so, the Holy Spirit chose to announce that astounding truth by just one brief, declarative sentence. As all God's Word does, Matthew's simple statement contains the solemn tone of authenticity. By contrast, a human fabrication would tend to have that false ring of exaggeration to it, being filled out with much more "convincing" material than what this inspired version needed.</p> <p> Scripture gives us little information about Mary and even less about Joseph. Mary was undoubtedly a godly young woman, probably a native of Nazareth who came from a relatively poor family. Joseph was the son of Jacob (Matt. 1:16) and was a craftsman, probably a carpenter (13:55). Most significant, he was a "just man" (1:19), one who placed saving trust in the coming Messiah.</p> <p> Most likely Mary and Joseph were both quite young when they were engaged ("betrothed"). She may have been as young as twelve or thirteen, and he not any older than fifteen or sixteen. Such youthfulness at the time of a couple's engagement was standard for that culture. Another standard aspect of the Jewish betrothal was its binding nature-society considered the man and the woman legally married even though the formal ceremony and consummation might occur a year later. The purpose of the engagement period was to confirm each partner's fidelity when the two had little or no social contact with each another.</p> <p> Mary and Joseph faithfully abstained from sexual relations with one another during the engagement period, as the contract required. That was also in accord with the Bible's high regard for sexual purity and God's commands for sexual abstinence prior to the marriage ceremony and for sexual fidelity afterward. Thus, Mary's virginity was an important indicator of her godliness.</p> <p> However, Mary's virginity protected something much more important than her own morality and godly reputation. It ensured the deity of Christ and supported the veracity of His teaching and works as the Son of God. Had Jesus been conceived by natural means, with Joseph or anyone else as His father, He would not have been God and would not have been a true Savior of sinners. To be in accord with what Scripture reported about His life, He would have had to make false claims about Himself, and He would have had to endorse false stories or hoaxes concerning the Resurrection and Ascension. Meanwhile everyone would have remained spiritually dead, condemned forever by their unforgiven sins. But we know that all that is absolutely contrary to what God's Word teaches.</p> <p> The apostle Paul, for example, was also very clear and concise when he reiterated the true nature of the Incarnation: "But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman" (Gal. 4:4). Paul includes no mention of a human father for Jesus because, according to the divine plan, God was His Father. Jesus had one human parent (Mary) so that He could be a man and identify closely with what it means to be human (Phil. 2:5-7; Heb. 4:15). And He had divine parentage so He could live a sinless life, perfectly fulfill the Law of God for us, and make the perfect sacrifice for our sins.</p> <p> Admittedly, all these centuries after Matthew's divinely inspired Gospel declared that Jesus was born of a virgin, His miraculous conception remains impossible to understand by human reason alone. God chose not to explain the details of it to us, even as He chose to leave unexplained the intricacies of His creating the universe from nothing, the precise way He could be one God in three Persons, or exactly what happens when depraved sinners are born again as they repent of their sins and trust Christ. Many of the essentials of Christianity God wants believers to accept by faith. Full understanding will have to wait until heaven: "For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now [we] know in part, but then [we] shall know [fully]" (1 Cor. 13:12).</p> <p> <br> <b>JOSEPH'S RESPONSE TO THE VIRGIN BIRTH</b></p> <p> Initial news of Mary's condition presented Joseph with a twofold problem. A caring and responsible person concerned about doing the right thing, Joseph was unwilling to proceed with his original plans once he perceived that a crucial part of those plans was no longer acceptable. His difficulty was intensified by the reality that he was a righteous man, genuinely concerned about doing what was morally and ethically right according to God's Law. First, when Joseph realized Mary was pregnant, he knew he could not go ahead with their marriage. He knew he was not the father and, based on what he knew at the time, he had to assume that another man was.</p> <p> Joseph's second difficult decision concerned how he should then treat Mary. Because he was a good and loving man, he was grieved at the thought of shaming her publicly (a common practice in those days when a wife was unfaithful), and even more so at the prospect of demanding her death, as provided for in Deuteronomy 22:23-24. We don't know if he felt anger, resentment, or bitterness, but he certainly experienced shame at what he had to assume was true. However, Joseph's concern was not primarily with his own shame and embarrassment, but with Mary's. Matthew 1:19 says, "not wanting to make her a public example, [Joseph] was minded to put her away secretly."</p> <p> Therefore, Joseph's plan was to divorce Mary secretly so she would not have to endure the disgrace of everyone in the community knowing about her supposed sin. Not many husbands ever display such firmly held and deeply felt love for their wives. Of course eventually, when the marriage didn't occur, everyone would have found out that something had gone wrong. But at least in the meantime Mary would be protected from humiliation and death.</p> <p> The Lord, however, in His sovereign providence and wonderful grace, intervened directly into the situation and spared Joseph the further trauma of actually carrying out his divorce plans. "But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, 'Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit'" (Matt. 1:20). This verse underscores the miraculous nature of the virgin birth and the supernatural character surrounding the entire event of Christ's birth. It also provides divine assurance to Joseph ("son of David") and to us that Jesus had legitimate royal lineage that legally came through Joseph as a descendant of King David.</p> <p> The angel's words provide the ultimate and most irrefutable testimony to the essential truth of the virgin birth and to the proper response Joseph was to have to Mary's extraordinary situation.</p> <p><br> <b>THE ANGEL CLARIFIES THE VIRGIN BIRTH</b></p> <p> But what was the significance of Mary's pregnancy even though she had not had relations with Joseph or any other man? Joseph likely would have spent some time puzzling over that question if the divine messenger had not immediately clarified his pronouncement with these words, "'And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins'" (Matt. 1:21).</p> <p> The angel tells Joseph that Mary will actually bear a son. And not just any son, but Jesus, who "will save His people from their sins." God chose the name Jesus for His Son because its basic meaning defined the fundamental, overarching purpose for the Son's coming to earth. Jesus is the Greek form of the Hebrew Joshua, Jeshua, or Jehoshua, each of which means "Jehovah (Yahweh) will save." The baby Mary had conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and would give birth to in the plan of God would grow up to testify to the Father's salvation and would Himself be that salvation. By His own sacrificial death on the Cross and triumphant Resurrection from the grave He would save His own-all those who are drawn from sin to repentance and who receive faith to embrace His atoning work.</p> <p><br> <b>THE VIRGIN BIRTH PROPHESIED</b></p> <p> At the time the angel told Joseph about Jesus' unique birth, the idea of a virgin birth was not one that was completely foreign to the Jews' understanding of their Scripture. Although they misinterpreted it, many of the rabbis exegeted Jeremiah 31:22 ("a woman shall encompass a man") in a way that suggested the Messiah would have an unusual birth. Their fanciful explanation of that verse ("Messiah is to have no earthly father," and "The birth of Messiah shall be like the dew of the Lord, as drops upon the grass without the action of man") at least preserved the general idea that the Messiah's birth would be unique.</p> <p> Actually the Book of Genesis gives us the first glimpse that Christ's birth would be special: "'And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed'" (3:15). Technically, the woman's seed belongs to the man, but Mary's impregnation by the Holy Spirit is the only instance in history that a woman had a seed within her that did not originate from a human man.</p> <p> The later divine promise to Abraham concerned his "descendants" (Hebrew, "seed"; Gen. 12:7), a common Old Testament way of referring to offspring. The unique reference in Genesis 3:15 to "her Seed" looks beyond Adam and Eve to Mary and to Christ. The two seeds of that verse can have a twofold emphasis. First, they can primarily refer to all people who are part of Satan's progeny and all who are part of Eve's. The two groups constantly wage spiritual war against each other, with the people of righteousness eventually defeating the people of evil. Second, the word translated "Seed" can be singular and refer mainly to one final, glorious product of a woman-the Lord Jesus Himself, born without human seed. In that sense the prophecy is definitely Messianic.</p> <p> Matthew 1:22-23 clearly identifies Jesus' virgin birth as a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy: "So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: 'Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,' which is translated, 'God with us.'" Matthew's quotation here of Isaiah 7:14 confirms that the prophet did in fact predict the virgin birth of Jesus Christ.</p> <p> The prophet Isaiah made this momentous prophecy during the reign of Judah's wicked and idolatrous King Ahaz. The king faced a major military threat from the Israelite king, Pekah; and the Syrian king, Rezin; both of whom wanted to overthrow Ahaz and replace him with a more compliant monarch. Instead of seeking the Lord's help during that crisis, King Ahaz turned to Tiglath-Pileser, the brutal ruler of the pagan Assyrians. Ahaz even induced their assistance by offering them gold and silver stolen from God's Temple.</p> <p> Ahaz refused to listen to Isaiah's report that God would deliver the people from Pekah and Rezin. Therefore the prophet spoke the remarkable prophecy of Isaiah 7:14, which told Ahaz that no one would destroy the people of God or the royal line of David. And sure enough, although Tiglath-Pileser destroyed the northern kingdom (Israel), deported its population, and overran Judah four times, God ultimately preserved His people just as He promised.</p> <p> Isaiah also said that before another child (Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz) was very mature or aware of events, the territories of Rezin and Pekah would be abandoned (Isa. 7:15-16). Again, the prophet's divinely inspired words were completely accurate. Before the other child, who was born to Isaiah's wife, was three years old, the two enemy kings were dead. Just as God fulfilled that ancient prophecy about Isaiah's son, so He was about to fulfill the one concerning the virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. Both were signs from the Lord that He would not abandon His people, but the greatest of the two was obviously the second one: that His Son would actually be born of a virgin, live among His people, and die for their sins.</p> <p> In his original pronouncement in 7:14, Isaiah used the Hebrew word <alma for "virgin." That is a significant term, and it's important to understand why the prophet used it. <Alma occurs six other times in the Old Testament (Gen. 24:43; Exod. 2:8; Ps. 68:25; Prov. 30:19; Song of Sol. 1:3; 6:8), and in each instance it connotes or denotes "virgin." Until recent times, both Jewish and Christian scholars always translated the word that way.</p> <p> It is interesting that in modern Hebrew either <alma or betula can mean "virgin." However, Isaiah did not use betula because in Old Testament Hebrew it can refer to a married woman who is not a virgin (Deut. 22:19; Joel 1:8). It's apparent, therefore, that he used <alma in 7:14 with the clear, precise conviction that the woman who would bear the Messiah would indeed be a young woman who never had sexual relations with a man.</p> <p> Matthew's use of Isaiah's prophecy followed directly in the prophet's path. The apostle was not giving <alma a Christian "twist" to make its usage fit a theory of the virgin birth. Instead, Matthew gave the term the same meaning as Isaiah intended, demonstrated by his translation of <alma with the Greek parthenos, the same word used by the Jewish translators of the Greek Old Testament.</p> <p> Although the credibility of the virgin birth does not rest solely on the use of a Hebrew word, a general understanding of the background and usage of <alma strengthens our belief in Christ's unique birth. It also helps us to see that Matthew, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, knew exactly what he was doing when he related Isaiah 7:14 to the birth of Jesus and declared again the equally amazing truths that "the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel." In His virgin birth, Christ was, in the most literal sense, the Son who was "God with us."</p> <p> <br> <b>THE OCCURRENCE OF THE VIRGIN BIRTH</b></p> <p> All of Matthew's explanation of the significance of the virgin birth came within the revelatory dream God gave to Joseph. Such extraordinary, direct communication evidently occurred while Joseph engaged in the otherwise ordinary activity of sleeping. Matthew does not record any detail of Joseph's immediate reaction, except to say that he woke up and obeyed the angel's instructions: "Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus" (1:24-25).</p> <p> You can imagine how great Joseph's feelings of amazement, relief, and gratitude must have been once he realized what the Lord, through the heavenly messenger, had told him. Not only could he go ahead and gladly take Mary as his wife with honor and righteousness, but also he could rejoice at the privilege of being allowed to bring up God's own Son.</p> <p> The wedding ceremony of Joseph and Mary likely took place soon after Joseph received the angel's announcement. Matthew makes it clear that Mary remained a virgin until after Jesus was born, implying that normal marital relations began after that time. That, along with the references to Jesus' brothers and sisters (Matt. 12:46; 13:55-56; Mark 6:3), proves Mary was not a virgin for her entire life, as some claim.</p> <p> Finally, Joseph followed through on God's command in Matthew 1:21 and named the baby Jesus, indicating, as we've already seen, that He was to be the Savior.</p> <p> The amazing fact of Jesus' supernatural birth is the only way to explain the perfect, sinless life He lived while on earth. A skeptic who denied the virgin birth once asked a Christian, "If I told you that child over there was born without a human father, would you believe me?" "Yes," the believer replied, "if he lived as Jesus lived." </p> <p> Christ's virgin birth is a necessary component that helps us believe and make sense of the entire story of His person and work. His extraordinary conception and birth, not before or since equaled, is an amazing reality that we should with joy and gratitude never take for granted.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20011008 2001 06 02 1418505145 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

Mackintosh</p> <b>R</b>eba Robinson lay awake night after night, tense and tired in her little room in Starkville, Mississippi.1 Her imagination raced out of control as her fingers clung to an old T-shirt that had once belonged to her son and still carried the scent of his cologne. He was confronting death in some exotic locale, though she didn't know where or what for, how or by whom. <p>Dillon was a marine assigned to a covert commando unit. His assignments were so secretive that even his mother could not be told the time or location of his missions.</p> <p>But her mother's instincts told her when he was in harm's way, and during those times she fervently prayed for Dillon day and night. She was undoubtedly praying the night he swam ten miles from a submarine to the forbidden coast of a hostile country. She was praying the night he parachuted behind enemy lines from a high-flying aircraft. She was praying the day he jumped from a chopper through a hail of bullets, his eyes blinded with tears, to retrieve the body of his fallen compatriot. She was praying the night a terrorist stuck a gun in his face and pulled the trigger; and perhaps it was her prayers that caused the gun to jam, giving Dillon the split second he needed to "resolve the problem" and escape. </p> <p>She prayed through nocturnal tears and terrors and torments. </p> <p>When Dillon finally returned home, he was a hero whose bravery could never be explained, declassified, or honored. He couldn't discuss his exploits or seek help in processing his traumas. He tried making the transition from action hero to typical guy, but life slowed to a snail's pace in his little hometown. He began frequenting the local bars, trying not to remember what he couldn't forget.</p> <p>Reba prayed on. </p> <p>Like Dillon's mother, we sometimes go through prolonged periods of pain and pressure. Trapped by circumstances. Hurting. Afraid. Facing impossible odds. Traversing long, dark valleys.</p> <p>Some circumstances are beyond our control, and something as simple as the ringing of a phone, a card in the mail, or a knock on the door can push us off the wire. We fall into a world of worry. Someone defined worry as a small trickle of fear that meanders through the mind, cutting a channel into which all other thoughts flow.</p> <p>The preacher John R. Rice said, "Worry is putting question marks where God has put periods."</p> <p>Bishop Fulton J. Sheen called worry "a form of atheism, for it betrays a lack of faith and trust in God."</p> <p>But for some of us, worry seems as inherent as breathing.</p> <p>We are, after all, likened in the Bible to sheep. I have a small flock of sheep (well, three of them) that live contentedly in our extended backyard. They're well fenced and well fed, and they have little to fear. But they sometimes fear anyway and can bolt in sheer panic at nothing more than a rabbit jumping through the grass.</p> <p>That isn't a quality the Lord admires in His sheep. He wants us to say, "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil . . ."</p> <p>Recently, the phone rang in the wee hours. It was my sister, Ann, telling me that Mother had fallen ill, and they were rushing her to the hospital, but with little hope. Ann suggested I return home immediately. It was a terrible jolt, and an awful dread swept over me. But instantly a verse of Scripture came to mind-Psalm 116:15: <i>Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. </i>From that moment, the grip of panic fell away, and I had peace.</p> <p>Yet at other times, fear doesn't release its tenacious grip so easily. How can you <i>not</i> worry, after all, when you have a commando son being secretly inserted into deadly situations around the globe?</p> <p>How can you <i>not</i> worry when your outflow exceeds your income, and the creditors are calling? Or when your financial portfolio is collapsing?</p> <p>How can you <i>not</i> worry when your loved one is diagnosed with cancer?</p> <p>How can you <i>not</i> worry when your job is terminated, your child is troubled, or your safety is at stake?</p> <p>To put it differently, how can you <i>not </i>worry when the Red Sea faces you, the desert surrounds you, and the soldiers of Egypt are speeding toward you with drawn swords?</p> <p> </p> <p>Just ask Reba Robinson. When amid her anxiety she accepted that God had placed her in that situation, difficult as it was, she began converting her worries into prayers and her fears into faith. She earnestly prayed for her son, trusting God to intervene, to redeem, to help, and to heal. </p> <p>At a critical juncture in Dillon's life, a friend invited him to a revival meeting in a nearby church. He went grudgingly, intending to bolt as soon as the service was over. But the message struck home that night, and when the altar call was given, Dillon gripped the back of the pew as if trying to choke it. No terrorist had ever pursued him like the Hound of heaven. He later admitted, "I had faced death without shaking, but that night I was trembling like a leaf." </p> <p>He staggered to the altar in tears, and that night a muscular, unsung hero fell to his knees and received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.</p> <p>In the story of the Red Sea, the Israelites followed the pillar of cloud and fire as carefully as possible, thrilled with their new freedom, full of excitement about the future. Yet as they followed Him, God deliberately led them into a cul-de-sac between hostile hills, to the edge of a sea too deep to be forded and too wide to be crossed.</p> <p>The unmistakable implication of Exodus 14:1-2 is that the Lord took responsibility for leading them into peril. He gave them specific, step-by-step instructions, leading them down a route to apparent ruin: <i>Turn and camp. Camp there. There, before the entrapping sea. Yes, right there in that impossible place.</i></p> <p>The Lord occasionally does the same with us, testing our faith, leading us into hardship, teaching us wisdom, showing us His ways. Our first reaction may be a surge of panic and a sense of alarm, but we must learn to consult the Scriptures for guidance. </p> <p>So, take a deep breath and recall this deeper secret of the Christian life: <i>when you are in a difficult place, realize that the Lord either placed you there or allowed you to be there, for reasons perhaps known for now only to Himself.</i></p> <p>The same God who led you <i>in</i> will lead you <i>out.</i></p> <br> <p align="center"><b>When You Find Yourself . . .</b></p> <p><i>"He knows the way He taketh," even if for the moment we do not.<br> </i>-J. I. Packer</p> <p><b>O</b>ur whole perspective changes when, finding ourselves in a hard place, we realize the Lord has either placed us there or allowed us to be there, perhaps for reasons presently known only to Himself.</p> <p>On their first wedding anniversary, August 18, 1938, Russell and Darlene Deibler arrived in New Guinea to labor in the jungles for Christ. When the Japanese invaded the East Indies, the two were torn apart, and Russell was interned in a concentration camp where he died.</p> <p>Darlene was imprisoned in another military camp where she suffered years of forced labor, indignity, near starvation, and afflictions such as beriberi, dysentery, and intestinal worms.</p> <p>One day she was singled out for execution. Shock troops took her to a death camp and directed her toward a stark cell. These words were written on the door in chalk: <i>Orang ini musti mati, </i>"This person must die." The guards shoved her in the cell, and as the door slammed shut, Darlene fell on her knees to peer through the keyhole. When she saw the key make a complete revolution, she knew she was as good as dead.</p> <p>As the footsteps of the guard receded, she fell backward in a cold sweat, trembling, fighting off sheer terror. Just then she found herself singing a song she had learned as a child in Sunday school back in Iowa: </p> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p>Fear not, little flock,<br> Whatever your lot;<br> He enters all rooms,<br> "The doors being shut."<br> He never forsakes,<br> He never is gone,<br> So count on His presence<br> In darkness and dawn.<br> <i>("Only Believe" by Daniel Reader)</i></p> </blockquote> </blockquote> <p>Darlene felt strong arms about her, and she knew that though her captors could lock her in, they could not lock out her wonderful Lord. She was in an impossible spot, but she was there with a God who does impossible feats. She was there in His will, and she knew that His will would never put her where His presence could not sustain her. That assurance bore her through impossible times and preserved her life despite impossible odds.</p> <p>Consider these men and women who, through no fault of their own, found themselves beset with soul-disabling difficulties while trying to follow God:</p> <p>Hagar, a single mom, was forced into the desert with her boy to die of thirst.</p> <p>Joseph, wanting to fulfill divine dreams, was seized, stripped, sold as a slave, and imprisoned in Egypt.</p> <p>Moses was caught between the splendors of Egyptian royalty and thankless affliction with God's people.</p> <p>David, being anointed by Samuel, was pursued by Israelite troops.</p> <p>Hezekiah, seeking revival, was trapped by the most powerful army on earth, bent on annihilating his people.</p> <p>The Lord's disciples sailed at His command on Galilee only to face a terror-filled night of storms and waves.</p> <p>The Son of man Himself, fulfilling the Father's will, was nailed fast to wood and left to hang by His hands until dead.</p> <p>The apostles, trying to preach this Crucified One, were horsewhipped.</p> <p>The leader of that apostolic band later told his readers: "Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you" (1 Peter 4:12).</p> <p>In other words, Christians shouldn't be surprised when, in seeking to do God's will, we find ourselves trapped in painful, frightening, difficult, or impossible situations. Life is hard-especially for Christians. We have a determined enemy seeking to devour us. "In the world," Jesus warned, "you will have tribulation" (John 16:33). </p> <p>Then He added: "But be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."</p> <p>God allows our faith to be tried, and He permits troubles to crowd into our lives. Sometimes they seem more than we can bear, but Christ can bear them. The first step toward "parted waters" is to frequently remind ourselves that the Lord has either put us in this difficult place or has allowed us to be there for reasons perhaps only He knows.</p> <p>I've often wondered why my wife developed multiple sclerosis just as our children were leaving the nest. We had hoped to spend the last half of our marriage enjoying long-anticipated activities, such as traveling or golfing, that are now becoming difficult or impossible. Her struggles create struggles of my own, and occasionally I'm tempted to ask <i>why?</i></p> <p>But God has a purpose, and as hymnist William Cowper (pronounced Cooper) put it, "God is His own interpreter, and He will make it plain."</p> <p>Years ago, I found this untitled and unattributed poem in a little volume by V. Raymond Edman titled <i>The Disciplines of Life:</i></p> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p>When God wants to drill a man,<br> And thrill a man,<br> And skill a man<br> To play the noblest part;<br> When He yearns with all His heart<br> To create so great and bold a man<br> That all the world shall be amazed,<br> Watch His methods, watch His ways!<br> How He ruthlessly perfects<br> Whom He royally elects!<br> How He hammers him and hurts him,<br> And with mighty blows converts him<br> Into trial shapes of clay which<br> Only God understands;<br> While his tortured heart is crying<br> And he lifts beseeching hands!<br> How He bends but never breaks<br> When his good He undertakes;<br> How He uses whom He chooses,<br> And with every purpose fuses him;<br> By every act induces him<br> To try His splendor out-<br> God knows what He's about.</p> </blockquote> </blockquote> <p>There are no mistakes in God's plan; Jesus does all things well. A. W. Tozer said, "To the child of God, there is no such thing as an accident. He travels an appointed way. . . . Accidents may indeed appear to befall him and misfortune stalk his way; but these evils will be so in appearance only and will seem evils only because we cannot read the secret script of God's hidden providence."</p> <p>This idea is summed up in an incident in the life of South African pastor Andrew Murray, who once faced a terrible crisis. Gathering himself into his study, he sat a long while quietly, prayerfully, thoughtfully. Presently his mind flew to his Lord Jesus. Picking up his pen, he wrote this in his journal:</p> <blockquote> <p>First, He brought me here, it is by His will that I am in this strait place: in that fact I will rest.</p> <p>Next, He will keep me here in His love, and give me grace to behave as His child.</p> <p>Then, He will make the trial a blessing, teaching me the lessons He intends me to learn, and working in me the grace He means to bestow.</p> <p>Last, in His good time He can bring me out again-how and when He knows.</p> <p>Let me say I am here, </p> <blockquote> <p>(1) By God's appointment,<br> (2) In His keeping,<br> (3) Under His training,<br> (4) For His time.</p> </blockquote> </blockquote> <p>Have you witnessed God's power in the past? Experienced His pardon? Enjoyed His presence? He who has carried you this far isn't going to drop you now.</p> <blockquote> <p>The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord,<br> And He delights in his way.<br> Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;<br> For the Lord upholds him. (Ps. 37:23-24)</p> </blockquote> <p>He has promised never to leave you or forsake you, never to forget, never to abandon. His love never ceases, and His care never dims.</p> <p>So if you find yourself in a difficult spot, remember: you are there by God's appointment, in His keeping, under His training, and for His time.</p> <p>And all evidence to the contrary, there's no better place to be. </p> <br> <p align="center"><b>What If It's My Fault?</b></p> <p><i>Our God is a God who not merely restores, but takes up our mistakes and follies into His plan for us and brings good out of them.<br> </i>-J. I. Packer</p> <p><b>W</b>hat if we have landed in this tough spot not because the Lord directly led us there, but because we followed our own noses? We sometimes cause our own pain. Our problems often result from sheer selfishness or stupidity. What then?</p> <p>Serious and sincere repentance routes us back into God's will. Confession is like a shortcut from the wayward path back to the straight and narrow road of Christ. When we genuinely repent of our sins, they are cast as far from us as east from west. Our hearts are cleansed, and our fellowship with God is restored. Certain consequences may linger, but the Lord will somehow use even those for good. Healing will still be needed, but the Great Physician will apply the salve. He weaves everything together to advance His purposes.</p> <p>God's forgiveness allows self-forgiveness. Have you ever read what Joseph told his brothers long after they had sold him into slavery? "Stop beating yourselves up over this," he said. </p> <p>Joseph declared, "Do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you. . . . Don't be afraid. Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done" (Gen. 45:5; 50:19-20 niv).</p> <p>Self-forgiveness comes when we realize that if God has forgiven us, we needn't remain angry with ourselves, needn't hate ourselves any longer. God will use it all for good. According to Romans 8:28, "All things go on working together for the good of those who keep on loving God, who are called in accordance with God's purpose" (williams).</p> <p>"There is a compassionate adaptability about God's will for us," observed Sidlow Baxter. "Because we have not been in God's special will for us from the beginning, there is no reason why we should not get into it now. He can take up from where we get right."</p> <p>After genuine confession and repentance, we can start wherever we are with Red Sea Rule #1: remember that God, in His overruling providence, has allowed you to be where you are at this moment.</p> <p>One older commentator of Exodus 14 said, "When God fixes our position for us, we may rest assured that it is a wise and salutary one; and even when we foolishly and willfully choose a position for ourselves, He most graciously overrules our folly, and causes the influences of our self-chosen circumstances to work for our spiritual benefit."</p> <p>Trust Him. He can still make a way. </p> <p> </p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20011106 2001 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

Ogilvie brings together a team of skilled and exceptional communicators to blend sound scholarship with life-related illustrations.</p> <p>The design for the Preacher's Commentary gives the reader an overall outline of each book of the Bible. Following the introduction, which reveals the author's approach and salient background on the book, each chapter of the commentary provides the Scripture to be exposited. The New King James Bible has been chosen for the Preacher's Commentary because it combines with integrity the beauty of language, underlying Hebrew and Greek textual basis, and thought-flow of the 1611 King James Version, while replacing obsolete verb forms and other archaisms with their everyday contemporary counterparts for greater readability. Reverence for God is preserved in the capitalization of all pronouns referring to the Father, Son, or Holy Spirit. Readers who are more comfortable with another translation can readily find the parallel passage by means of the chapter and verse reference at the end of each passage being exposited. The paragraphs of exposition combine fresh insights to the Scripture, application, rich illustrative material, and innovative ways of utilizing the vibrant truth for his or her own life and for the challenge of communicating it with vigor and vitality.</p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20040715 2004 06 02 1418504327 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

Ten years ago in <i>The Body</i>, Colson turned his prophetic attention to the church and how it might break out of its cultural captivity and reassert its biblical identity.</p> <p>Today the book's classic truths have not changed. But the world we live in has. Christians in America have had their complacency shattered and their beliefs challenged. Around the world, the clash of world views has never been more strident. Before all of us, daily, are the realities of life and death, terror and hope, light and darkness, brokeness and healing. We cannot withdraw to the comfort of our santuaries...we must engage. For, if ever there was a time for Christians to be the Body of Christ in the world, it is now.</p> <p>In this new, revised and expanded edition of <i>The Body,</i> Charles Colson revisits the question, "What is the church and what is its relevance to contemporary culture at large?" Provocative and insightful, <i>Being the Body</i> inspires us to rise above a stunted "Jesus and me" faith to a nobler view of something bigger and grander than ourselves --the glorious, holy vision for which God created the church.</p> 23 02 <p>September 11. No matter how much time goes by or what has happened since, it still seems unbelievable. A dividing line in all our lives. Before and after.</p><p> Whether we watched it unfold on television from far, far away, or knelt in the ash-strewn streets of Manhattan, or lost someone we loved in the fireball at the Pentagon or in the field in Pennsylvania, it is a universal touchstone of horror and violation.<i>Catastrophe.</i></p> <p>C. S. Lewis said that in every human story, as in divine history, there are two catastrophes. The first is utter ruin: the catastrophe of disintegration and undoing, the end of life as we know it, light extinguished and death's dark triumph. The crucifixion. </p> <p>The second is the good catastrophe: the reintegrating and remaking, new hope rising out of the ashes-the good that would otherwise not be. The resurrection.</p> <p>Both catastrophes dwell in the unsought stories of September 11. We cannot begin to do them justice. We cannot capture the horror of evil's fiery day. </p> <p>Nor can we adequately portray the triumph of hope: every candle lit in a nation whose heart was broken, every selfless act of service to those who were hurt and bereaved, every pint of blood given, every fragile tie of community restored where it once was not. </p> <p>Like the unity of the heroes of Flight 93, who made sure their plane plunged into a Pennsylvania field rather than through the White House or the Capitol dome. They said farewell to their families on the phones. They prayed the Lord's Prayer and the Twenty-third Psalm, their hoarse voices rising together in the shadow of death. And then they took a last deep breath and rushed the plane's long aisle to the end-in order to save others. </p> <p>Just as we cannot do justice to September 11, we could not begin to detail all the ways that churches across our nation lived their faith in its wake. In the darkest hour, so many of the people of God stood as His church, doing what the church does best: <i>being</i> the community that brings hope and comfort to brokenness and pain.</p> <p>Think of that New York homeless shelter, a beacon for the weary and burdened, where cups of cool water were offered in Jesus' name. Or of the churches that helped widows and orphans in their distress . . . the essence of "true religion," as the book of James says. Or of the communities of believers gathering together in homes and churches across that great city-singing praises to God, bringing their pain to Jesus, and drawing their grieving neighbors to the love of Christ.<p> <p>Think, too, of the service at Washington's National Cathedral a few days after the disaster. Government leaders, foreign dignitaries, and four ex-presidents gathered for an extraordinary service of remembrance. </p> <p>Speaking with humility and power, Billy Graham laid out the gospel. "This cruel plot," he said, leads us to "confess our need for God. We've always needed God . . . many who died [in the attacks] are in heaven right now. They wouldn't want to come back. . . . Each of us must realize our own spiritual need. . . . The cross tells us that God understands our sin and suffering. He took it upon Himself. And from the cross, God declares, 'I love you!'"</p> <p>Billy Graham went on to challenge Americans to use this terrible calamity as a wake-up call to focus on the reality of the hope of the gospel. Hope for the present, that this be a time of spiritual revival, and hope for the future-"not just for this life, but for heaven and the life to come."</p> <p>In the weeks that followed, networks carried profoundly moving memorial services for those heroes-firefighters, police, and ordinary citizens-who died in the tragedy. Life as usual was no more, and millions of Americans went about their daily tasks with a thoughtful reverence born of brokenness. </p> <p>Complacency-the greatest enemy of spiritual vigor in the West-had been shattered by the catastrophes of life and death, good and evil, hope and despair. Churches filled across our nation, as thousands of people realized-or subconsciously <i>sensed</i>-that the terrorist attacks of 2001 had actually changed everything.</p> <p>In 1992, the year <i>The Body </i> was originally published, professor of public policy Dr. Francis Fukyama published <i>The End of History and the Last Man</i>. It became a bestseller, voicing the exhilarating hope of the times: The Berlin Wall had fallen, the Iron Curtain had rusted away, the Soviet Union had crumbled, the Cold War was over. The world as we had known it had changed, and America, to its exuberant surprise, found itself the lone remaining superpower: King of the World. </p> <p><i>The End of History </i>became standard fodder for commentators and op-ed writers, its ideas trickling down to the masses. It was an irresistibly seductive notion: Western liberal democracy had won the great ideological struggle of the twentieth century. Communism and fascism had been vanquished. A new era of enlightenment had dawned. Defense budgets were slashed, fueling the great economic boom of the nineties. Nothing could now derail a future of peace and prosperity, with America and its ideas reigning throughout the planet. </p> <p>Had human nature indeed been transformed and evil banished? </p> <p>Any such utopian hopes collapsed the day the Twin Towers fell. </p> <p>Perhaps a more prescient prophet of the twenty-first century was Harvard professor emeritus Samuel Huntington, who in 1996 wrote <i>The Clash of Civilizations</i>. Huntington's controversial book posited that the world is divided along the lines of the great religious civilizations: those states comprising the Eastern religions in one bloc, the Judeo-Christian West in another, and yet another being the scattered nations of Islam, which form a belt around the globe's girth from Nigeria in the west, eastward to Indonesia. The great confrontation, predicted Huntington, would be between the Muslim world and the West, a clash that Huntington said Islam will win.</p> <p>While we challenge Huntington's ultimate conclusion, his analysis was prophetic. Many Christians did not see the coming confrontation between Islam and the West; we were distracted by the simmering culture wars between Judeo-Christian tradition and the aggressive forces of secular naturalism. </p> <p>Then 9-11 jolted us to the reality of another, more chilling front in the war of world-views. While the culture war, for the most part, is conducted with clever words in Hollywood, on Capitol Hill, and in newspaper editorials, this new war of world-views is literal. It is waged with bombs and hijackings and murderous annihilation.</p> <p>Islam is intrinsically a militant religion, which, if true to its own doctrine, expands by force. Some moderate Muslims say the term jihad, which literally means struggle, is used <i>figuratively</i> as a picture of the individual's struggle to achieve holiness. That is doubtless so for millions of Muslims. Yet it was during an intense time of local wars that Mohammed, seeking to unite his people against aggressors, wrote of jihads. Many scholars believe that he meant it quite literally; indeed, the new religion Mohammed founded soon vanquished its enemies by the sword. </p> <p>Some Muslims still follow that paradigm today, including terrorist cells scattered throughout the world. This is why those who have been privy to classified information, like former CIA Director Jim Woolsley, believe that we are in the middle of World War IV. (The Cold War was World War III.) That's a harsh thought; it pierces any complacent visions of the end of history.</p> <p>Any who question the seriousness of the confrontation with radical Islam should examine the differences between its world-view and Christianity's. </p> <p>First, consider their respective views of human nature. The Muslim believes that human beings are inherently good, that all that hinders paradise is the failure to advance Islam, and that once it is fulfilled (by whatever means), there will be peace and happiness. </p> <p> What militant Muslims seek, therefore, is no different than what Hitler and the Marxists desired: Give us power and we will usher in the perfect state, the super race, or the workers' paradise. The greatest horrors of the twentieth century were perpetrated by utopians, who always suppress liberty (usually with bloodshed) because they will, by force if necessary, put their views of what is good ahead of your right to determine that for yourself. </p> <p>The Judeo-Christian world-view believes that human beings are sinful people who need individual redemption and the continuing restraints of law and culture. (As G. K. Chesterton said, this doctrine of original sin is the only philosophy validated by thousands of years of recorded human history.) Paradise is not achieved by anything we can do-spiritually, politically, or otherwise-but by the gift of God. </p> <p>Second, Islam is a theocracy. The Koran is the law, and under that law, those of other faiths cannot truly exercise full rights of citizenship. This is why Christians are not allowed to practice their faith, even in private, in Saudi Arabia-and why in most Islamic states, people other than Muslims cannot hold office and indeed in some places must pay extra taxes. There is intense persecution of Christians in many Muslim states like Sudan, Nigeria, Indonesia, and Pakistan.</p> <p>While secular elites in the West carp about religious groups (usually meaning Christians) "imposing their view on others" (as if we could) or chipping away at the proverbial "wall of separation between church and state," nothing in our experience is even remotely close to theocracy.</p> <p>In reality, the democratic ideal of the West-one that is not understood by those who seek to banish religiously informed values from public life-is genuine pluralism. This is the religious freedom and healthy tolerance that respect people's unalienable rights-not just Christians'-to pursue and practice their religious beliefs. As for religious persecution, it is noteworthy that the West came to the aid of Bosnian Muslims against their Serb oppressors, who were largely Orthodox Christians in name.</p> <p>Third, the Koran's view is that Allah rules by his will, with no assurance of ultimate redemption for his followers-unless a Muslim dies as a martyr in a jihad to repel the infidels. Hence the seemingly endless supply of suicide bombers. For most Muslims, any hope of redemption lies in being able after death to walk across the sword of judgment, being pronounced by his or her deeds as acceptable to Allah. On the other hand, the God of the Bible is the deity of such supreme love that He sent His Son to die a substitutionary atoning death for all who believe. He <i>promises </i>heaven-not for good deeds, and surely not for the murders of opponents, but by the extravagant gift of His grace for those who put their trust in Him.</p> <p>This leads to yet another major difference. Islam rejects the Trinity, saying it is the worship of three gods and is thus blasphemy to Allah. Muslim students on American campuses today are handing out tracts showing a diagram of three separate gods-Christianity's fundamental heresy, they say.</p> <p>But for the Christian, difficult as the mystery of the Trinity may be, it goes to the heart of our belief. God the Father and Creator, Jesus the Redeemer and the Word become flesh, and the Holy Spirit the Sustainer are one essence. The same God who made us sacrificed Himself to save us and lives in us by His Spirit. </p> <p>Finally, Islam advances inevitably by force as it achieves power in each state. This is why militant Muslims are fomenting unrest and violence around the globe. They must, if consistent with their own beliefs, seek political power. But the Christian gospel, by definition, advances in the world only as God's love is extended, people are redeemed by Christ, and by His Spirit believers perpetuate His good in the world around them. </p> <p>This sketch is brief, but it highlights the fundamental differences between Islam and Christianity. No one who understands these distinctions can be sanguine about the clash of civilizations. Two immense belief systems are contending for influence and for the advancement of their beliefs-and their basic suppositions are fundamentally at odds.</p> <p>Thus we cannot accept the mushy civic religious ecumenism that sprouted after September 11. In the many religious services that followed the tragedy, organizers scrupulously gave equal billing to all faith groups. The nation received a massive dose of politically correct sensitivity training-and it stuck. Polls showed that Americans' respect for Islam actually <i>increased</i> after September 11.</p> <p>President Bush, understandably anxious to reach out to moderate Muslim governments and to avoid a backlash against Arab Americans, hosted the first dinner ever held at the White House for Muslim clerics. Other politicians were equally sensitive; appropriately so, considering the volatile circumstances. After all, the politician's role is different from the pastor's.</p> <p>But some pastors evidently didn't make that distinction. Muslim imams not only appeared at interfaith services, but also spoke from pulpits in some Christian churches. And incredibly, a poll showed that nearly 50 percent of highly committed evangelical Protestants agreed with the statement that many religions can lead to eternal life.</p> <p>It is important not to inflame a difficult situation or trigger a reaction against Muslims in this country, the overwhelming majority of whom are surely patriotic, peace-loving Americans. But it is also crucial for Christians not to blur the clear differences between our beliefs. How can we contend for Christian truth if we don't know the distinctives of our faith or why the truth claims of other world-views fall short? Our case must, of course, be made in a loving manner; that's a given. But being loving doesn't mean ignoring truth. </p> <p>In fact, if we follow Jesus, we will love Muslims so much that sharing the love of Christ with them is the most natural thing we can do. This is more important now than ever, for thoughtful, peace-loving Muslims should find terrorist violence abhorrent. Is this, then, not a good time to introduce them to the love of the Christ, who died and was bodily raised from the dead, and to the promise that their sins can actually be forgiven and that they can have the <i>assurance</i> of paradise with Christ forever?</p> <p>I have found that Muslims respond to this message, particularly the historicity of the resurrection. Once, during a trip to visit with Prison Fellowship India volunteers and workers, I was invited to address a Christian Businessmen's evangelistic luncheon in Bombay. It was a particularly sensitive time in India. Several missionaries had had their visas revoked, and a former Indian president had issued a public warning against Christians who were seeking political power. </p> <p>Four hundred businessmen, about half in Western dress, the other in traditional Nehru jackets, gathered for the luncheon in one of the city's luxury hotels. I described my own conversion to them in detail. Then I talked about why my experiences in the White House and Watergate had convinced me of the historicity of the resurrection of Christ. </p> <p>Many decisions for Christ were made during that luncheon, and a long line of people waited to speak to me as I was leaving. One was a jovial, round-faced man. "Oh, Mr. Colson, that was wonderful," he said. "I believe in Jesus too." He proceeded to explain that he was president of the All-Islamic Conference of India. "We believe the same thing," he said in an obvious gesture of friendship. </p> <p>As he stood there with an expectant expression, I hesitated, questioning what I should do. Should I just nod and be polite? There was a lot of ferment against Christians there and I could get in trouble. Besides, he was such a kind-looking man. Or should I . . . ? The answer came swiftly.</p> <p>"I'm sorry, sir," I said, "but we do not believe the same thing. I believe Jesus was raised bodily from the dead-and as a Muslim, you don't." The man looked deflated. </p> <p>But then he straightened and put one hand on my shoulder. "I know," he said slowly. "Today is the first time I have really understood that."</p> <p>I beckoned to two of the host committee members, who escorted the Islamic leader to a quiet table where they could talk. Leaving the room moments later for a flight to south India, I glanced back over my shoulder to see the three men huddled together deep in conversation. </p> <p>So even as we take stock of the mammoth struggle and unprecedented challenge of our times, we must remember what phrases like "the clash of civilizations" and "culture wars" sometimes obscure. As with that man in Bombay, we are dealing with <i>individual</i> men and women whose hearts can be lured to the love of Christ. Therefore we must stride forward with love and hope, even as we understand the extraordinary stakes of the big-picture spiritual war all around us.</p> <p>As America and its allies wage war on terrorism, our nations have powerful tools at hand: elite special forces, sophisticated weaponry, economic sanctions, massive electronic intelligence, armies, navies, and air forces on alert. These are the tools of war in the kingdoms of this world.</p> <p>But in the kingdom of God, the tools are different. We are armed with faith, hope, truth, love, and the good that overcomes evil. It's a great paradox: Bearing these weapons that seem so weak, the church is the one institution in society that can provide strong moral resolve and spiritual inspiration that feeds the soul, cares for the needy, and guides those who have lost their way. It is the church that creates the character that will carry us through the historic struggle of our times. It is the church that will endure forever, even as the kingdoms of this world topple and fall.</p> <p>To do this, however, the church must recapture a core understanding of its biblical identity. What does it really mean to be the people Jesus called His own, against whom the gates of hell will not stand? As individuals and as a corporate entity, how do we understand our high calling as the Body of Christ?</p> <p>There are no more crucial questions. And their challenge caused my longtime colleague, Ellen Vaughn, and I to write this book-well, actually to write it twice.</p> <p>The first edition of this work, <i>The Body</i>, was published in 1992. It reflected our conviction that the church was infected with the most virulent virus of modern American life, what sociologist Robert Bellah called radical individualism, with many Christians consequently perceiving Christianity as "Jesus and me," a solitary belief system. </p> <p>Energized by the conviction that, in fact, <i>there is no such thing as Christianity apart from the church</i>,we studied contemporary theologians like Francis Schaeffer, Christopher Dawson, Carl F. H. Henry, Richard Neuhaus, and Helmut Thielicke, as well as the classics, both Protestant and Catholic. And then, as we began writing, the Berlin Wall came down, and out of Eastern Europe began coming extraordinary stories of the role the church had played in the defeat of communism. Ellen traveled to Romania, Hungary, and Poland for interviews with remarkable church leaders. I traveled to the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary. Here at home, Ellen and I visited scores of local congregations, from the country's fastest growing megachurch to a tiny band of believers on death row.</p> <p>The result was <i>The Body</i>, and to our delight, it struck a tremendous chord with readers. Thousands of church groups studied the book in tandem with its study guide and video program. The book won awards and sold hundreds of thousands of copies. There was a sense that <i>The Body'</i>s stories and its focus on unity, truth, and being light in the darkness resonated powerfully with Christians from a cross-section of different denominations and church traditions. But now, while the doctrines we believe about the church have not changed, our world circumstances have. So W Publishing urged Ellen and me to rewrite <i>The Body</i>, updating the stories, adding new ones, looking at the role of the church in light of today's new challenges. </p> <p>So we did.</p> <p>In the pages that follow we'll look at the church as it is commonly perceived, from the outside and inside. We'll address the biblical definition of the church and its characteristics, both the universal Body and the local confessing congregation.</p> <p>Understanding the character and purpose of the church is absolutely vital. Many Christians are anxious to organize antipornography or anti-abortion campaigns, work for criminal justice reform, clean up inner-city neighborhoods, and defend religious liberty. All these are noble and worthy good works, but all are doomed to failure unless they proceed out of <i>who we are</i> as God's people.</p> <p><i>For we cannot give what we do not have</i>. We cannot <i>do</i> until we <i>are</i>. To be the church-our highest calling-depends on understanding the very character of the Body of Christ on earth. It's organic: As we draw our identity from Christ, the great Vine, we will, like healthy branches, produce fruit that nourishes the needy people around us.</p> <p>So what exactly is the church? In part 1 we'll consider that question. In part 2 we'll explore the great tension: the church against the world. In the battle for truth-the great issue of our times-how can the church be the custodian of the truth, the guardian of God-breathed holy Scripture? In part 3 we'll examine how the church operates in the world, for the world. How should the church serve the world around it? And how might churches equip their people to do so? </p> <p>But before we begin, a few caveats are in order.</p> <p>First, this is not a book about churches. It is a book about <i>the church</i>.</p> <p>Some readers may wonder why great churches (like the ones they belong to) are not discussed in detail; others will be looking for specifics on how to improve evangelistic efforts or expand prayer groups. They will be disappointed. Many helpful how-to books are already available on these subjects. Our desire here-however imperfectly realized-is to highlight the great doctrine of the church, inspire the grand vision of the church, and restore a high view of the church.</p> <p>This hasn't been the trend. Over the last number of years, there has been a noticeable dearth of both scholarly and popular work in this regard, at least among evangelicals. Pastor Robert Patterson has cited this as evidence of the low view evangelicals have of the church. Evangelicals disregard baptism, the structure of ministry, and accountability, he says, putting emphasis chiefly on the individual's personal relationship to Christ. This is in part due to the entrepreneurial nature of the parachurch movement and the fierce independence of many evangelical churches. Some seminaries, in fact, do not even offer courses on the doctrine of the church.</p> <p>In the course of our research we have discovered at least one of the reasons for this neglect: You cannot deal with the doctrine of the church without walking through doctrinal and denominational minefields-and setting off some explosives in the process.</p> <p>Which brings us to the second warning. While we have attempted to address this subject from the most inclusive perspective possible, believing passionately that the church consists of God's people from every race and nation and confession, we are nonetheless aware that our own views will invariably color how we perceive the church. I am a Baptist with a thoroughly Reformed theology, Ellen is a Presbyterian (PCA, or Presbyterian Church in America), and we both have a catholic-small "c" -universal view of the church. The reader will have to take this into account. However, we have made every effort to write a book that is consistent with the great creeds and confessions of the church, the commitments orthodox believers have held through the ages, pledging ourselves in loyalty to "one holy catholic and apostolic church," as the Nicene Creed puts it. But-and here is the third caveat-some readers may find this inclusiveness difficult to accept. Some cannot surrender the old prejudices that not only make them feel comfortable, but affirm that they are really right. Others genuinely believe that the fundamental differences within the church are irreconcilable. We understand that belief. But if it is true, we have a bigger problem than this book-because Jesus Himself called us to be <i>one.</i></p> <p>Of course there are doctrinal differences between sacerdotal and nonsacerdotal churches, between Arminians and Calvinists, between premillennialists and postmillennialists, between Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox-and we should not attempt to gloss over these differences as some twentieth-century ecumenists have done. Differences do matter, and doctrinal disputes exist. And, as will be discussed later, some may even serve a healthy purpose. </p> <p>Despite these differences, however, we need to come together around the great truths all believers have shared regarding Christ's teaching about His Body. It is a difficult line to walk, but walk it we must if the power of the church is to be felt in today's world.</p> <p>As a fourth caveat, we would note that there are issues other than confessional differences that may offend some readers. For in the course of our work we found ourselves questioning some comfortable modern evangelical practices. Like the notion that evangelism is the only call of the church. Or hit-and-run witnessing. Or tried-and-true methodologies that are obsolete in today's post-Christian culture and thus guarantee that Christians end up talking only to themselves. Or the presumption that unless certain words are said, certain prayers repeated, one may not make it into the kingdom. </p> <p>We didn't set out to be controversial. But some called the original version of <i>The Body </i>just that. Yet better to stir up healthy debate than simply be complacent and comfortable. At any rate, we have consulted with some of the best theological minds, whose help we later more fully acknowledge and for which we are profoundly grateful, and we can only hope that if this book spurs discussion, it will invigorate the church.</p> <p>During a trip to the Midwest after the first publication of <i>The Body</i>, I encountered a young pastor who enthusiastically told me about the book's impact on his church. "We read <i>The Body </i>and took it seriously," he said. "The elders and I decided to see what would happen if we really incorporated its principles in our church.</p> <p>"You've never seen such controversy," he went on. "At one point, the church was divided right down the middle and I was asked to leave. Dissident groups broke away. It was horrendous. But then it began to change. People got serious about being Christians--and today we're people on fire for God." </p> <p>Finally, we want to point out that we've drawn many examples from prisons and from the oppressed church in other parts of the world. It is natural that we use the former since, through Prison Fellowship, we spend a great deal of time with the church behind prison walls. And we chose the latter because some of the greatest challenges for the comfortable church in the West come from our brothers and sisters living in much tougher places and situations around the world.</p> <p>Some critics have asked, Why would Chuck Colson write on the church? What are his credentials? After all, he is a layman who never attended seminary [which happens to be one of my great personal regrets] and never pastored a local congregation [for which, I'm quick to confess, I would lack the patience].</p> <p>Fair question. My answer is that I've been part of the universal church for thirty years, and as leader of Prison Fellowship for twenty-seven of those years, I have worked with and gathered insights from pastors and laypeople in thousands of vital congregations in the United States and around the world. I may be an "outsider" to the pastorate, but then again, that may not always be a disadvantage. As theologian Os Guinness has said, "If you want to know about water, the last one to ask is a fish."</p> <p>During the Reformation, <i>Coram Deo</i> became a rallying cry for the Reformers. It meant "in the presence of God" or "before the eyes of God," and as theologian R. C. Sproul has written, nothing marked the Reformation more than an awe of the holy, majestic God who calls men and women to Himself. </p> <p><i>Coram Deo</i>. Filled with this holy fear and reverence, the early church changed the world. Recapturing the biblical vision for God's people in the world, the Reformers were used to transform the culture around them. And fearing God rather than man, the persecuted church in the former Soviet empire changed the maps of the world at the end of the twentieth century.</p> <p>Today, in the early years of the twenty-first, what the church needs most desperately is holy awe: to understand that we live day by day in the presence of God; that, in truth, we live each instant not knowing whether in the next we will meet Him face to face. </p> <p>The catastrophe of 9-11 served as a profound reminder of that truth. It also reminded us of a fact that applies every single ordinary day of our lives: <i>Life is a mess</i>. Any Christian who chirps platitudes to the contrary is deluded. From the beginnings of His church, Jesus made it clear that we would be the Body in the midst of a sinful, broken world. </p> <p>Once we understand that severe challenge, it can set us free. For it is in the darkness that the light shines most brightly. It is in alienation that Christ's healing power is seen most clearly. It is in our weakness and brokenness that God's great strength is revealed. God did not design us to be robots in a sterile environment- "Stepford" Christians who are programmed to spout cheerful inanities and cannot handle any deviations from carefully constructed conventions. </p> <p>No, as September 11 should remind us forever, we are to be the Body-the manifestation of God's hope-in the blood, dirt, dust, and tears of the battlefields of this world. </p> <p>The question is, Are we ready for that challenge?</p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20030424 2003 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

In the midst of a less-than-hopeful battle, Saul-who should have been leading-rested beneath a pomegranate tree as Jonathan seized the divine moment that would impact the future of Israel. Through this story McManus artfully illustrates the eight characteristics of an adventurer's heart, what he calls "the Jonathan factor." </p> <p> Using powerful examples from his own life and ministry, along with fresh biblical teaching, McManus asserts that God crafts divine moments specific to each of us-priceless opportunities for us to actively engage in God's big-picture plan. Apathy and apprehension prevent us from being all we are meant to be for God's kingdom. But by developing the characteristics McManus outlines, Christians can move from mundane to miraculous living.</p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20021105 2002 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

The God of the universe has given us an amazing, revolutionary gift of grace and freedom. This freedom and grace set us apart from every other "religion" on the face of the earth. </p> <p>In this best-selling classic, Charles Swindoll urges you not to miss living a grace-filled life. Freedom and joy-not lists and demands and duties-await all who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.</p> <p>With his characteristic style and gentle authority, Swindoll disarms the counter-attack of all those who would not preach grace-filled living and who would claim that focusing on grace would fill our churches with wild, undisciplined people with no godliness in evidence. Yes, Swindoll says, teaching and preaching grace is risky. Some may push the limits and misuse their freedom. But grace is the message of the gospel…the good news of salvation. As Christians, we sing about God's amazing grace. We understand that we are saved by grace. Let's learn to live by grace!

But despite the fact that many have heard about Job and his trials, not many people truly understand what those trials were all about and what God was trying to accomplish through them. Job himself was confused about it all. <i>What did I do to deserve such suffering?</i> he cried out. </p> <p>Eventually, though, through tough questions and unexpected answers from God, Job gained new insights on suffering, patience, and endurance. And, more importantly, he learned how deeply he was loved by God.</p> <p>Sooner or later, we all go through our times of suffering and heartache, and the ancient story of Job offers timeless truth for us if we'll only listen.

The end of summer and a baby about to be born. But in the midst of hope and celebration comes unexpected tragedy, and Dylan Styles must come to terms with how much he's lost. Will the music of his heart be stilled forever--or will he choose to dance with life once more, in spite of sorrow and heartbreak?</p><p><i>The </i><i>Dead Don't Dance</i> is a bittersweet yet triumphant love story--a tale of one man's spiritual journey through the darkness of despair and into the light of hope.<br></p> 23 02 <p><b>Chapter One</b><br> <br> Last October, after the soybeans had peaked at four feet, the corn had spiraled to almost twice that, and the wisteria had shed its purple, a November breeze picked up, pushed out the summer heat, and woke Maggie. She rolled over, tapped me on the shoulder, and whispered, "Let's go swimming." It was two in the morning under a full moon, and I said, "Okay." The tap on the shoulder usually meant she knew something I didn't, and from the moment I'd met her, Maggie had known a lot that I didn't. <br> <br> We rolled out, grabbed a couple of towels, and held hands down to the river, where Maggie took a swan dive into the South Carolina moonlight. I dropped the towels on the bank and waded in, letting the sandy bottom sift through my toes and the bream shoot between my knees. Leaning backward, I dunked my head, closed my eyes, then let the water roll down my neck as I stood in the waist-deep black river. Summer had run too long, as summers in Digger often do, and the breeze was a welcome comfort. We swam around in the dark water long enough to cool off, and Maggie spread a towel over the bleached white sand. Then she lay down and rested her head on my shoulder, and the moon fell behind the cypress canopy. <br> <br> A while later, as we walked back to the house, her shoulder tucked under mine, Maggie knew that we had just made our son. I didn't know until four weeks later, when she came bouncing off the front porch and tackled me in the cornfield. Grinning, she shoved a little white stick in my face and pointed at the pink line. <br> <br> Soon after, I started noticing the changes. They began in our second bedroom. Previously an office, it quickly became "the nursery." Maggie returned from the hardware store with two gallons of blue paint for the walls and one gallon of white for the trim and molding. <br> <br> "What if she's a girl?" I asked.<br> <br> "He's not," she said and handed me a paintbrush. So we spread some old sheets across the hardwood floors and started goofing off like Tom and Huck. By the end of the night, we were covered in blue paint and the walls were not, but at least we'd made a start. <br> <br> The smell of paint drove us out of the house, so Maggie and I shopped the Saturday morning garage sales. We found a used crib for sixty dollars, the top railing dented with teeth marks. Maggie ran her fingers along the dents like Helen Keller reading Braille. "It's perfect," she said. <br> <br> We set up the crib in the corner of the nursery and made a Sunday afternoon drive to Charleston to the so-called "wholesale" baby outlet. I have never seen more baby stuff in one place in my entire life. And to be honest, before going there, I didn't know half of it existed. When we walked through the sliding glass doors, a recorded voice said, "Welcome to Baby World! If we don't have it, your baby doesn't need it!" The tone of voice gave me my first hint that I was in trouble. <br> <br> Maggie grabbed two pushcarts, shoved one into my stomach, put on her game face, and said, "Come on!" Midway down the first aisle I was in way over my head. We bought diapers, wipes, pacifiers, a tether for the pacifiers, bottles, nipples for the bottles, liners for the bottles, bottles to hold the bottles and keep the bottles warm, cream for diaper rash, ointment for diaper rash, powder for diaper rash, a car seat, blankets, rattles, a changing table, little buckets to organize all the stuff we had just bought, a baby bag, extra ointment, cream, and powder just for the baby bag, booties, a little hat to keep his head warm, and little books. About halfway through the store I quit counting and just said, "Yes, ma'am." <br> <br> To Maggie, every detail, no matter how small, had meaning. She must have said, "Oh, look at this," or "Isn't this cute?" a hundred times. When we reached the checkout counter, we were leaning on two ridiculously overflowing carts. <br> <br> Some marketing genius had stacked the most expensive teddy bears right up in front. Only a blind man was without excuse. Maggie, wearing a baggy pair of denim overalls, batted her big brown eyes and tilted her head. In a deep, whispery, and all-too-seductive voice, she said, "Dylan, this bear's name is Huckleberry." <br> <br> I just laughed. What else could I do? <br> <br> I loaded up the truck and started to breathe easy, thinking the damage was over, but we didn't even make it out of the parking lot. Just next door to Baby World stood a maternity clothing store. Maggie, the possessed power shopper, stalked the racks and piled me high for over an hour. When I could no longer see above the heap of clothes in my arms, she led me to the changing room, where, for the first time in my life, a woman actually told me to come inside with her. Maggie shut the door, slid the latch, and pulled her hair up into a bouncy ponytail. <br> <br> Over the next hour, my wife modeled each item of clothing while I marveled. The only light was a recessed forty-watt bulb above her head, but when she turned, lifted the ponytail off her neck, and whispered, "Unzip me," the light showered her five-eight frame like Tinkerbell's pixie dust. It fluttered off the blond, fuzzy hair on the back of her neck and the sweat on her top lip, over her square tan shoulders and down into the small of her back, along her thin hips and long runner's legs, and then finally swirled around the muscular shape of her calves. <br> <br> <i>God, I love my wife.</i> <br> <br> From shorts to shirts, pants, dresses, skirts, maternity bras, nursing bras, six-month underwear, nine-month underwear, jackets, and sweatshirts, the fashion show continued. As she tried on each item, Maggie stuffed the "eight-pound" pillow inside her waistband, put her hand on her hip, leaned forward on her toes, and looked at herself in the mirror. "Do you think this makes me look fat?"<br> <br> "Maggs, no man in his right mind would ever answer that question."<br> <br> "Dylan," she said, pointing her finger, "answer my question."<br> <br> "You're beautiful." <br> <br> "If you're lying to me," she said, raising her eyebrows and cocking her head, "you're on the couch." <br> <br> "Yes, ma'am."<br> <br> Leaving the dressing room, Maggie shone in full, glorious, pregnant-woman glow. Three hundred and twenty-seven dollars later, she was ready for any occasion. <br> <br> Life had never been more vivid, more colorful, as if God had poured the other end of the rainbow all around us. Rows of cotton, corn, soybean, peanuts, and watermelon rose from the dirt and formed a quilted patchwork, sewing itself with kudzu along the sides of the old South Carolina highway. Ancient gnarled and sprawling oaks covered in moss and crawling with red bugs and history swayed in the breeze and stood like silent sentinels over the plowed rows. Naive and unaware, we rumbled along the seams while Maggie placed my hand on her tummy and smiled.<br> <br> At twelve weeks we went for the first ultrasound. Maggie was starting to get what she called a "pooch" and could not have been prouder. When the doctor walked in, Maggie was lying on the table with a fetal monitor Velcroed across her stomach, holding my hand. The doc switched on the ultrasound machine, squeezed some gel on her stomach, and started waving the wand over her tummy. When she heard the heartbeat for the first time, Maggie started crying. "Dylan," she whispered, "that's our son."<br> <br> At sixteen weeks, the nurse confirmed Maggie's intuition. Maggie lay on the same table as the nurse searched her tummy with the ultrasound wand and then stopped when my son gave us a peek at his equipment. "Yep," the nurse said, "it's a boy. Right proud of himself too." <br> <br> I hit my knees. At twenty-nine years old, I had looked inside my wife's tummy and seen our son. As big as life, with his heart beating, and wiggling around for all the world to see. <br> <br> "Hey, Sport." <br> <br> That started my conversations with Maggie's stomach. Every night from that day forward, I'd talk to my small and growing son. The three of us would lie in bed; I'd lift Maggie's shirt just over her tummy, press my lips next to the peach-fuzzy skin near her belly button, and we'd talk. Football, girls, school, farming, tractors, dogs, cornfields, friends, colors, anything I could think of. I just wanted my son to know the sound of my voice. After a few days, he started kicking my lips. Before I told him good night, I'd sing "Johnny Appleseed," "Daddy Loves His Sweet Little Boy," "The Itsy-Bitsy Spider," or "Jesus Loves Me." <br> <br> Sometimes in the middle of the night, when the baby kicked or pushed his foot into the side of her stomach, Maggie would grab my hand and place it on her tummy. She never said a word, but I woke up feeling the warmth of my wife's stomach and the outline of my son's foot. <br> <br> Toward the end of the first trimester, while rummaging through a yard sale, I found a rickety old rocking horse that needed a lot of glue, some elbow grease, and a few coats of white paint. I brought it home, set up my woodworking shop in the barn, and told Maggie to stay out. A week later, I brought it inside and set it next to the crib. Maggie looked at it, and the tears came forth in a flood. I think that was my first realization that new hormones had taken over my wife's body and mind. <br> <br> Pretty soon the cravings hit. "Sweetheart." It was that whispery, seductive voice again. "I want some fresh, natural peanut butter and Haagen Dazs raspberry sorbet." <br> <br> I never knew it would be so difficult to find freshly churned natural peanut butter at ten o'clock at night. When I got back to the house, Maggie was standing on the front porch, tapping her foot and wielding a spoon. As soon as I got the lids off, we plopped down in the middle of the den and started double dipping. When she'd polished off the sorbet, she said, "Now, how about a cheeseburger?" <br> <br> At the end of her second trimester, she became pretty self-conscious. The least little thing really set her off. One morning, while studying her face in the mirror, she screamed, <i>"What is that? Dylan Styles, get in here!"</i> <br> <br> Usually when Maggs calls me by both names, it means I've done something wrong. Left the toilet seat up or the toothpaste cap off, not taken the trash out, not killed every single roach and spider within two square miles of the house, or tried something sneaky and gotten caught. The tone in her voice told me I had just gotten caught. <br> <br> I walked into the bathroom and found Maggs up on her toes, leaning over the sink and looking down at her chin, which was just a few inches from the mirror. Holding a magnifying glass, she said again, <i>"What is that?"</i> <br> <br> I took the magnifying glass and smiled. Studying her chin, I saw a single black hair about a centimeter long protruding from it. "Well, Maggs, I'd say you're growing a beard." I know, I know, but I couldn't resist. <br> <br> She shrieked and slapped me on the shoulder. "Get it off! Right now! Hurry!" <br> <br> I reached into the drawer and pulled out a Swiss Army knife and slipped the little tweezers out of the side with my fingernail. "You know, Maggs, if this thing really takes off, we might be able to get you a job with the carnival." <br> <br> "Dylan Styles," she said, pointing that crooked finger again, "if you want any loving for the rest of your life, you better quit right now." Maybe I was pushing it a little, but Maggs needed a perspective change. So I handed her the shaving cream and said, "Here, it's for sensitive skin."<br> <br> Thirty seconds later, she had me balled up in the fetal position on the den floor, trying to pull out what few chest hairs I have. When she had adequately plucked me, she raised her fists like a boxer ready to start round two. "Dylan Styles, you better shut up and pull this evil thing off my chin." <br> <br> Underneath the bathroom light, I pulled out the single rogue hair, placed it on her outstretched palm, and returned to the kitchen, laughing. Maggs spent the next hour poring over her face in the mirror. <br> <br> Soon after, she lost sight of her toes. The baby was getting bigger and growing straight out like a basketball attached to a pole. Maggs stood helplessly in front of the mirror with an open nail polish bottle and wailed, "I'm fat! How can you love me when I look like this?" Then the tears came, so I did the only thing I could. I took her hand, sat her down on the couch, poured her a glass of ice water with a slice of orange, stretched out her legs, and painted her toenails. <br> <br> When she was seven months along, I came in after dark one evening and heard her sloshing in the bathtub, talking to herself. I poked my head in and saw her holding a pink razor, trying to shave her legs. She had already cut her ankle. So I sat on the ledge, took the razor, held her heel, and shaved my wife's legs. <br> <br> Somewhere around seven and a half months, I sat down to dinner-a dinner Maggie insisted on cooking-and found a package wrapped in brown paper. Untying the ribbon, I peeled open the paper to find a green T-shirt with <i>World's Greatest Dad</i> sewn on the front. I wore it every day for a week. <br> <br> Getting heavier and feeling less mobile every day, Maggie nevertheless sewed the bumper for the crib and tied it in. The pattern featured stripes, baseballs, footballs, bats, and little freckle-faced boys. I bought a Pop Warner football and a Little League baseball glove and placed them inside the crib. On the floor beneath I clustered Matchbox cars, a miniature train set, and building blocks. When we were finished decorating, there was little room left for our son. <br> <br> In the late afternoons of her last trimester, Maggie tired more easily, and I tried to convince her to take naps. Occasionally she'd give in. Two weeks before her due date, which was August 1, her legs, hands, and feet swelled, and her breasts became sore and tender. A week away, Braxton Hicks contractions set in, and the doctor told her to keep her feet up and get more rest. <br> "Try not to get too excited," he said. "This could take a while." <br> <br> For some reason, and I'm not sure why, I had thought that as Maggie's tummy grew larger and she got more uncomfortable, she'd have less affection for me. I mean, physically. It only made sense. I had tried to prepare myself by blocking it out-<i>Don't even think about it</i>-but that time never came. Just three days before delivery, she tapped me on the shoulder. . . .<br> <br> A week past her due date, the first real contraction hit. Maggie could tell the difference immediately. She was walking across the kitchen when she grabbed the countertop, bit her bottom lip, and closed her eyes. I grabbed The Bag and Huckleberry and met her at the truck. I was driving ninety miles an hour and honking at every car that got in my way when Maggs gently put her hand on my thigh and whispered, "Dylan, we have time." <br> <br> I pulled into the maternity drop-off, and a nurse met us at the car. When I found Maggie on the second floor, the doctor was checking her. <br> <br> "Two centimeters," he said, taking off his latex gloves. "Go home; get some sleep, I'll see you tomorrow." <br> <br> "See you tomorrow?" I said. "You can't send us home. My wife's having a baby." <br> <br> The doctor smiled. "Yes, she is. But not today. Go get a nice dinner, then take her home. And"-he handed two pills to Maggie-"this will help take the edge off."<br> <br> Helping Maggie into the truck, I said, "Your choice. Anywhere you want." <br> <br> Maggie smiled, licked her lips, and pointed. A few minutes later we were sitting in the Burger King, where Maggie downed a Whopper with cheese, large fries, a cheeseburger, and a chocolate shake. I ate half a cheeseburger and two French fries. <br> <br> That night Maggie slept in fits, and I slept not at all. I just lay there in the dark, watching her face and brushing her Audrey Hepburn hair out of her Bette Davis eyes. <br> <br> At six o'clock Maggie bit her lip again, and I carried her to the truck. <br> <br> "Four centimeters," the doctor said as he pulled the gown over Maggie's legs. "It's time to walk." <br> <br> So we did. Every floor. Every hallway. Every sidewalk. <br> <br> Walking through the orthopedic ward six hours later, Maggie grunted and grabbed the railing, and one of her knees buckled. I grabbed a wheelchair, punched the elevator button, and tapped my foot down to the second floor. <br> <br> The doctor was on the phone at the nurses' station, but he hung up quickly when he saw her face. We stretched her out on the bed, strapped the fetal monitor over her stomach, and I cradled her head in my hands while the doctor listened. <br> <br> "Okay, Maggie, get comfortable." Then he pulled out this long plastic thing and asked the nurse to cover it with gel. "I'm going to break your water and start you on Pitocin." <br> <br> While I was thinking, <i>You're not sticking that thing in my wife</i>, Maggie sighed and gripped my hand so hard her knuckles turned white. <br> <br> "That means two things: it will bring on your labor more quickly, and"-he paused as the fluid gushed out-"your contractions will hurt a bit more." <br> <br> "That's okay," Maggie said, while the nurse swabbed her right arm with alcohol and inserted the IV needle. <br> <br> Fifteen minutes later, the pain really started. I sat next to the bed, holding a wet towel on her forehead, and fought the growing knot in my stomach. By midnight Maggie was drenched in sweat and growing pale. I called the nurse and asked, "Can we do anything? Please!" <br> <br> Within a few minutes the anesthesiologist came in and asked Maggie, "You about ready for some drugs?"<br> <br> Without batting an eye, I said, "Yes, sir." <br> <br> Maggie sat up and leaned as far forward as her stomach would let her. The doctor walked around behind her and inserted the epidural in the middle of her spine just as another contraction hit. Maggie moaned but didn't move an inch. <br> <br> <i>God, please take care of my wife</i>.<br> <br> Breathing heavily, Maggie lay back down and propped her knees up. After one more contraction, the epidural kicked in. Her shoulders relaxed, and she lost the feeling in her legs. At that moment, if I had had a million dollars, I would have given every penny to that man. I almost kissed him on the mouth. <br> <br> The next two hours were better than the last two days together. We watched the monitor, the rise and fall of every contraction-"Oh, that was a good one," listened to the heartbeat, laughed, talked about names, and tried not to think about what was next. It was surreal to think our son would be there, in our arms, in a matter of moments. We held hands, I sang to her tummy, and we sat there in quiet most of the time. <br> <br> About one-thirty, the lady next door had trouble with her delivery, and they had to wheel her off for an emergency C-section. I've never heard anybody scream like that in all my life. I didn't know what to think. I do know that it got to Maggie. She tried not to show it, but it did.<br> <br> At two o'clock, the doctor checked her for the last time. "Ten centimeters, and 100 percent effaced. Okay, Maggie, you can start pushing. We'll have a birthday today." <br> <br> Maggie was a champ. I was real proud of her. She pushed and I coached, "One-two-three . . . " I'd count and she'd crunch her chin to her stomach, eyes closed and with a death grip on my hand, and push. <br> <br> That was two days and ten lifetimes ago.</p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20070904 2007 06 02 0785261818 02 1595541616 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

Ten years ago in <em>The Body</em>, Colson turned his prophetic attention to the church and how it might break out of its cultural captivity and reassert its biblical identity. </p> <p>Today the book's classic truths have not changed. But the world we live in has. Christians in America have had their complacency shattered and their beliefs challenged. Around the world, the clash of world views has never been more strident. Before all of us, daily, are the realities of life and death, terror and hope, light and darkness, brokenness and healing. We cannot withdraw to the comfort of our sanctuaries...we must engage. For, if ever there was a time for Christians to be the Body of Christ in the world, it is now. </p> <p>In this new, revised and expanded edition of <em>The Body</em>, Charles Colson revisits the question, "What is the church and what is its relevance to contemporary culture at large?" Provocative and insightful, <em>Being the Body</em> inspires us to rise above a stunted "Jesus and me" faith to a nobler view of something bigger and grander than ourselves--the glorious, holy vision for which God created the church.</p> <p>Hardcover ISBN 0849917522</p> 23 02 <p>September 11. No matter how much time goes by or what has happened since, it still seems unbelievable. A dividing line in all our lives. Before and after.</p><p> Whether we watched it unfold on television from far, far away, or knelt in the ash-strewn streets of Manhattan, or lost someone we loved in the fireball at the Pentagon or in the field in Pennsylvania, it is a universal touchstone of horror and violation.<i>Catastrophe.</i></p> <p>C. S. Lewis said that in every human story, as in divine history, there are two catastrophes. The first is utter ruin: the catastrophe of disintegration and undoing, the end of life as we know it, light extinguished and death's dark triumph. The crucifixion. </p> <p>The second is the good catastrophe: the reintegrating and remaking, new hope rising out of the ashes-the good that would otherwise not be. The resurrection.</p> <p>Both catastrophes dwell in the unsought stories of September 11. We cannot begin to do them justice. We cannot capture the horror of evil's fiery day. </p> <p>Nor can we adequately portray the triumph of hope: every candle lit in a nation whose heart was broken, every selfless act of service to those who were hurt and bereaved, every pint of blood given, every fragile tie of community restored where it once was not. </p> <p>Like the unity of the heroes of Flight 93, who made sure their plane plunged into a Pennsylvania field rather than through the White House or the Capitol dome. They said farewell to their families on the phones. They prayed the Lord's Prayer and the Twenty-third Psalm, their hoarse voices rising together in the shadow of death. And then they took a last deep breath and rushed the plane's long aisle to the end-in order to save others. </p> <p>Just as we cannot do justice to September 11, we could not begin to detail all the ways that churches across our nation lived their faith in its wake. In the darkest hour, so many of the people of God stood as His church, doing what the church does best: <i>being</i> the community that brings hope and comfort to brokenness and pain.</p> <p>Think of that New York homeless shelter, a beacon for the weary and burdened, where cups of cool water were offered in Jesus' name. Or of the churches that helped widows and orphans in their distress . . . the essence of "true religion," as the book of James says. Or of the communities of believers gathering together in homes and churches across that great city-singing praises to God, bringing their pain to Jesus, and drawing their grieving neighbors to the love of Christ.<p> <p>Think, too, of the service at Washington's National Cathedral a few days after the disaster. Government leaders, foreign dignitaries, and four ex-presidents gathered for an extraordinary service of remembrance. </p> <p>Speaking with humility and power, Billy Graham laid out the gospel. "This cruel plot," he said, leads us to "confess our need for God. We've always needed God . . . many who died [in the attacks] are in heaven right now. They wouldn't want to come back. . . . Each of us must realize our own spiritual need. . . . The cross tells us that God understands our sin and suffering. He took it upon Himself. And from the cross, God declares, 'I love you!'"</p> <p>Billy Graham went on to challenge Americans to use this terrible calamity as a wake-up call to focus on the reality of the hope of the gospel. Hope for the present, that this be a time of spiritual revival, and hope for the future-"not just for this life, but for heaven and the life to come."</p> <p>In the weeks that followed, networks carried profoundly moving memorial services for those heroes-firefighters, police, and ordinary citizens-who died in the tragedy. Life as usual was no more, and millions of Americans went about their daily tasks with a thoughtful reverence born of brokenness. </p> <p>Complacency-the greatest enemy of spiritual vigor in the West-had been shattered by the catastrophes of life and death, good and evil, hope and despair. Churches filled across our nation, as thousands of people realized-or subconsciously <i>sensed</i>-that the terrorist attacks of 2001 had actually changed everything.</p> <p>In 1992, the year <i>The Body </i> was originally published, professor of public policy Dr. Francis Fukyama published <i>The End of History and the Last Man</i>. It became a bestseller, voicing the exhilarating hope of the times: The Berlin Wall had fallen, the Iron Curtain had rusted away, the Soviet Union had crumbled, the Cold War was over. The world as we had known it had changed, and America, to its exuberant surprise, found itself the lone remaining superpower: King of the World. </p> <p><i>The End of History </i>became standard fodder for commentators and op-ed writers, its ideas trickling down to the masses. It was an irresistibly seductive notion: Western liberal democracy had won the great ideological struggle of the twentieth century. Communism and fascism had been vanquished. A new era of enlightenment had dawned. Defense budgets were slashed, fueling the great economic boom of the nineties. Nothing could now derail a future of peace and prosperity, with America and its ideas reigning throughout the planet. </p> <p>Had human nature indeed been transformed and evil banished? </p> <p>Any such utopian hopes collapsed the day the Twin Towers fell. </p> <p>Perhaps a more prescient prophet of the twenty-first century was Harvard professor emeritus Samuel Huntington, who in 1996 wrote <i>The Clash of Civilizations</i>. Huntington's controversial book posited that the world is divided along the lines of the great religious civilizations: those states comprising the Eastern religions in one bloc, the Judeo-Christian West in another, and yet another being the scattered nations of Islam, which form a belt around the globe's girth from Nigeria in the west, eastward to Indonesia. The great confrontation, predicted Huntington, would be between the Muslim world and the West, a clash that Huntington said Islam will win.</p> <p>While we challenge Huntington's ultimate conclusion, his analysis was prophetic. Many Christians did not see the coming confrontation between Islam and the West; we were distracted by the simmering culture wars between Judeo-Christian tradition and the aggressive forces of secular naturalism. </p> <p>Then 9-11 jolted us to the reality of another, more chilling front in the war of world-views. While the culture war, for the most part, is conducted with clever words in Hollywood, on Capitol Hill, and in newspaper editorials, this new war of world-views is literal. It is waged with bombs and hijackings and murderous annihilation.</p> <p>Islam is intrinsically a militant religion, which, if true to its own doctrine, expands by force. Some moderate Muslims say the term jihad, which literally means struggle, is used <i>figuratively</i> as a picture of the individual's struggle to achieve holiness. That is doubtless so for millions of Muslims. Yet it was during an intense time of local wars that Mohammed, seeking to unite his people against aggressors, wrote of jihads. Many scholars believe that he meant it quite literally; indeed, the new religion Mohammed founded soon vanquished its enemies by the sword. </p> <p>Some Muslims still follow that paradigm today, including terrorist cells scattered throughout the world. This is why those who have been privy to classified information, like former CIA Director Jim Woolsley, believe that we are in the middle of World War IV. (The Cold War was World War III.) That's a harsh thought; it pierces any complacent visions of the end of history.</p> <p>Any who question the seriousness of the confrontation with radical Islam should examine the differences between its world-view and Christianity's. </p> <p>First, consider their respective views of human nature. The Muslim believes that human beings are inherently good, that all that hinders paradise is the failure to advance Islam, and that once it is fulfilled (by whatever means), there will be peace and happiness. </p> <p> What militant Muslims seek, therefore, is no different than what Hitler and the Marxists desired: Give us power and we will usher in the perfect state, the super race, or the workers' paradise. The greatest horrors of the twentieth century were perpetrated by utopians, who always suppress liberty (usually with bloodshed) because they will, by force if necessary, put their views of what is good ahead of your right to determine that for yourself. </p> <p>The Judeo-Christian world-view believes that human beings are sinful people who need individual redemption and the continuing restraints of law and culture. (As G. K. Chesterton said, this doctrine of original sin is the only philosophy validated by thousands of years of recorded human history.) Paradise is not achieved by anything we can do-spiritually, politically, or otherwise-but by the gift of God. </p> <p>Second, Islam is a theocracy. The Koran is the law, and under that law, those of other faiths cannot truly exercise full rights of citizenship. This is why Christians are not allowed to practice their faith, even in private, in Saudi Arabia-and why in most Islamic states, people other than Muslims cannot hold office and indeed in some places must pay extra taxes. There is intense persecution of Christians in many Muslim states like Sudan, Nigeria, Indonesia, and Pakistan.</p> <p>While secular elites in the West carp about religious groups (usually meaning Christians) "imposing their view on others" (as if we could) or chipping away at the proverbial "wall of separation between church and state," nothing in our experience is even remotely close to theocracy.</p> <p>In reality, the democratic ideal of the West-one that is not understood by those who seek to banish religiously informed values from public life-is genuine pluralism. This is the religious freedom and healthy tolerance that respect people's unalienable rights-not just Christians'-to pursue and practice their religious beliefs. As for religious persecution, it is noteworthy that the West came to the aid of Bosnian Muslims against their Serb oppressors, who were largely Orthodox Christians in name.</p> <p>Third, the Koran's view is that Allah rules by his will, with no assurance of ultimate redemption for his followers-unless a Muslim dies as a martyr in a jihad to repel the infidels. Hence the seemingly endless supply of suicide bombers. For most Muslims, any hope of redemption lies in being able after death to walk across the sword of judgment, being pronounced by his or her deeds as acceptable to Allah. On the other hand, the God of the Bible is the deity of such supreme love that He sent His Son to die a substitutionary atoning death for all who believe. He <i>promises </i>heaven-not for good deeds, and surely not for the murders of opponents, but by the extravagant gift of His grace for those who put their trust in Him.</p> <p>This leads to yet another major difference. Islam rejects the Trinity, saying it is the worship of three gods and is thus blasphemy to Allah. Muslim students on American campuses today are handing out tracts showing a diagram of three separate gods-Christianity's fundamental heresy, they say.</p> <p>But for the Christian, difficult as the mystery of the Trinity may be, it goes to the heart of our belief. God the Father and Creator, Jesus the Redeemer and the Word become flesh, and the Holy Spirit the Sustainer are one essence. The same God who made us sacrificed Himself to save us and lives in us by His Spirit. </p> <p>Finally, Islam advances inevitably by force as it achieves power in each state. This is why militant Muslims are fomenting unrest and violence around the globe. They must, if consistent with their own beliefs, seek political power. But the Christian gospel, by definition, advances in the world only as God's love is extended, people are redeemed by Christ, and by His Spirit believers perpetuate His good in the world around them. </p> <p>This sketch is brief, but it highlights the fundamental differences between Islam and Christianity. No one who understands these distinctions can be sanguine about the clash of civilizations. Two immense belief systems are contending for influence and for the advancement of their beliefs-and their basic suppositions are fundamentally at odds.</p> <p>Thus we cannot accept the mushy civic religious ecumenism that sprouted after September 11. In the many religious services that followed the tragedy, organizers scrupulously gave equal billing to all faith groups. The nation received a massive dose of politically correct sensitivity training-and it stuck. Polls showed that Americans' respect for Islam actually <i>increased</i> after September 11.</p> <p>President Bush, understandably anxious to reach out to moderate Muslim governments and to avoid a backlash against Arab Americans, hosted the first dinner ever held at the White House for Muslim clerics. Other politicians were equally sensitive; appropriately so, considering the volatile circumstances. After all, the politician's role is different from the pastor's.</p> <p>But some pastors evidently didn't make that distinction. Muslim imams not only appeared at interfaith services, but also spoke from pulpits in some Christian churches. And incredibly, a poll showed that nearly 50 percent of highly committed evangelical Protestants agreed with the statement that many religions can lead to eternal life.</p> <p>It is important not to inflame a difficult situation or trigger a reaction against Muslims in this country, the overwhelming majority of whom are surely patriotic, peace-loving Americans. But it is also crucial for Christians not to blur the clear differences between our beliefs. How can we contend for Christian truth if we don't know the distinctives of our faith or why the truth claims of other world-views fall short? Our case must, of course, be made in a loving manner; that's a given. But being loving doesn't mean ignoring truth. </p> <p>In fact, if we follow Jesus, we will love Muslims so much that sharing the love of Christ with them is the most natural thing we can do. This is more important now than ever, for thoughtful, peace-loving Muslims should find terrorist violence abhorrent. Is this, then, not a good time to introduce them to the love of the Christ, who died and was bodily raised from the dead, and to the promise that their sins can actually be forgiven and that they can have the <i>assurance</i> of paradise with Christ forever?</p> <p>I have found that Muslims respond to this message, particularly the historicity of the resurrection. Once, during a trip to visit with Prison Fellowship India volunteers and workers, I was invited to address a Christian Businessmen's evangelistic luncheon in Bombay. It was a particularly sensitive time in India. Several missionaries had had their visas revoked, and a former Indian president had issued a public warning against Christians who were seeking political power. </p> <p>Four hundred businessmen, about half in Western dress, the other in traditional Nehru jackets, gathered for the luncheon in one of the city's luxury hotels. I described my own conversion to them in detail. Then I talked about why my experiences in the White House and Watergate had convinced me of the historicity of the resurrection of Christ. </p> <p>Many decisions for Christ were made during that luncheon, and a long line of people waited to speak to me as I was leaving. One was a jovial, round-faced man. "Oh, Mr. Colson, that was wonderful," he said. "I believe in Jesus too." He proceeded to explain that he was president of the All-Islamic Conference of India. "We believe the same thing," he said in an obvious gesture of friendship. </p> <p>As he stood there with an expectant expression, I hesitated, questioning what I should do. Should I just nod and be polite? There was a lot of ferment against Christians there and I could get in trouble. Besides, he was such a kind-looking man. Or should I . . . ? The answer came swiftly.</p> <p>"I'm sorry, sir," I said, "but we do not believe the same thing. I believe Jesus was raised bodily from the dead-and as a Muslim, you don't." The man looked deflated. </p> <p>But then he straightened and put one hand on my shoulder. "I know," he said slowly. "Today is the first time I have really understood that."</p> <p>I beckoned to two of the host committee members, who escorted the Islamic leader to a quiet table where they could talk. Leaving the room moments later for a flight to south India, I glanced back over my shoulder to see the three men huddled together deep in conversation. </p> <p>So even as we take stock of the mammoth struggle and unprecedented challenge of our times, we must remember what phrases like "the clash of civilizations" and "culture wars" sometimes obscure. As with that man in Bombay, we are dealing with <i>individual</i> men and women whose hearts can be lured to the love of Christ. Therefore we must stride forward with love and hope, even as we understand the extraordinary stakes of the big-picture spiritual war all around us.</p> <p>As America and its allies wage war on terrorism, our nations have powerful tools at hand: elite special forces, sophisticated weaponry, economic sanctions, massive electronic intelligence, armies, navies, and air forces on alert. These are the tools of war in the kingdoms of this world.</p> <p>But in the kingdom of God, the tools are different. We are armed with faith, hope, truth, love, and the good that overcomes evil. It's a great paradox: Bearing these weapons that seem so weak, the church is the one institution in society that can provide strong moral resolve and spiritual inspiration that feeds the soul, cares for the needy, and guides those who have lost their way. It is the church that creates the character that will carry us through the historic struggle of our times. It is the church that will endure forever, even as the kingdoms of this world topple and fall.</p> <p>To do this, however, the church must recapture a core understanding of its biblical identity. What does it really mean to be the people Jesus called His own, against whom the gates of hell will not stand? As individuals and as a corporate entity, how do we understand our high calling as the Body of Christ?</p> <p>There are no more crucial questions. And their challenge caused my longtime colleague, Ellen Vaughn, and I to write this book-well, actually to write it twice.</p> <p>The first edition of this work, <i>The Body</i>, was published in 1992. It reflected our conviction that the church was infected with the most virulent virus of modern American life, what sociologist Robert Bellah called radical individualism, with many Christians consequently perceiving Christianity as "Jesus and me," a solitary belief system. </p> <p>Energized by the conviction that, in fact, <i>there is no such thing as Christianity apart from the church</i>,we studied contemporary theologians like Francis Schaeffer, Christopher Dawson, Carl F. H. Henry, Richard Neuhaus, and Helmut Thielicke, as well as the classics, both Protestant and Catholic. And then, as we began writing, the Berlin Wall came down, and out of Eastern Europe began coming extraordinary stories of the role the church had played in the defeat of communism. Ellen traveled to Romania, Hungary, and Poland for interviews with remarkable church leaders. I traveled to the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary. Here at home, Ellen and I visited scores of local congregations, from the country's fastest growing megachurch to a tiny band of believers on death row.</p> <p>The result was <i>The Body</i>, and to our delight, it struck a tremendous chord with readers. Thousands of church groups studied the book in tandem with its study guide and video program. The book won awards and sold hundreds of thousands of copies. There was a sense that <i>The Body'</i>s stories and its focus on unity, truth, and being light in the darkness resonated powerfully with Christians from a cross-section of different denominations and church traditions. But now, while the doctrines we believe about the church have not changed, our world circumstances have. So W Publishing urged Ellen and me to rewrite <i>The Body</i>, updating the stories, adding new ones, looking at the role of the church in light of today's new challenges. </p> <p>So we did.</p> <p>In the pages that follow we'll look at the church as it is commonly perceived, from the outside and inside. We'll address the biblical definition of the church and its characteristics, both the universal Body and the local confessing congregation.</p> <p>Understanding the character and purpose of the church is absolutely vital. Many Christians are anxious to organize antipornography or anti-abortion campaigns, work for criminal justice reform, clean up inner-city neighborhoods, and defend religious liberty. All these are noble and worthy good works, but all are doomed to failure unless they proceed out of <i>who we are</i> as God's people.</p> <p><i>For we cannot give what we do not have</i>. We cannot <i>do</i> until we <i>are</i>. To be the church-our highest calling-depends on understanding the very character of the Body of Christ on earth. It's organic: As we draw our identity from Christ, the great Vine, we will, like healthy branches, produce fruit that nourishes the needy people around us.</p> <p>So what exactly is the church? In part 1 we'll consider that question. In part 2 we'll explore the great tension: the church against the world. In the battle for truth-the great issue of our times-how can the church be the custodian of the truth, the guardian of God-breathed holy Scripture? In part 3 we'll examine how the church operates in the world, for the world. How should the church serve the world around it? And how might churches equip their people to do so? </p> <p>But before we begin, a few caveats are in order.</p> <p>First, this is not a book about churches. It is a book about <i>the church</i>.</p> <p>Some readers may wonder why great churches (like the ones they belong to) are not discussed in detail; others will be looking for specifics on how to improve evangelistic efforts or expand prayer groups. They will be disappointed. Many helpful how-to books are already available on these subjects. Our desire here-however imperfectly realized-is to highlight the great doctrine of the church, inspire the grand vision of the church, and restore a high view of the church.</p> <p>This hasn't been the trend. Over the last number of years, there has been a noticeable dearth of both scholarly and popular work in this regard, at least among evangelicals. Pastor Robert Patterson has cited this as evidence of the low view evangelicals have of the church. Evangelicals disregard baptism, the structure of ministry, and accountability, he says, putting emphasis chiefly on the individual's personal relationship to Christ. This is in part due to the entrepreneurial nature of the parachurch movement and the fierce independence of many evangelical churches. Some seminaries, in fact, do not even offer courses on the doctrine of the church.</p> <p>In the course of our research we have discovered at least one of the reasons for this neglect: You cannot deal with the doctrine of the church without walking through doctrinal and denominational minefields-and setting off some explosives in the process.</p> <p>Which brings us to the second warning. While we have attempted to address this subject from the most inclusive perspective possible, believing passionately that the church consists of God's people from every race and nation and confession, we are nonetheless aware that our own views will invariably color how we perceive the church. I am a Baptist with a thoroughly Reformed theology, Ellen is a Presbyterian (PCA, or Presbyterian Church in America), and we both have a catholic-small "c" -universal view of the church. The reader will have to take this into account. However, we have made every effort to write a book that is consistent with the great creeds and confessions of the church, the commitments orthodox believers have held through the ages, pledging ourselves in loyalty to "one holy catholic and apostolic church," as the Nicene Creed puts it. But-and here is the third caveat-some readers may find this inclusiveness difficult to accept. Some cannot surrender the old prejudices that not only make them feel comfortable, but affirm that they are really right. Others genuinely believe that the fundamental differences within the church are irreconcilable. We understand that belief. But if it is true, we have a bigger problem than this book-because Jesus Himself called us to be <i>one.</i></p> <p>Of course there are doctrinal differences between sacerdotal and nonsacerdotal churches, between Arminians and Calvinists, between premillennialists and postmillennialists, between Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox-and we should not attempt to gloss over these differences as some twentieth-century ecumenists have done. Differences do matter, and doctrinal disputes exist. And, as will be discussed later, some may even serve a healthy purpose. </p> <p>Despite these differences, however, we need to come together around the great truths all believers have shared regarding Christ's teaching about His Body. It is a difficult line to walk, but walk it we must if the power of the church is to be felt in today's world.</p> <p>As a fourth caveat, we would note that there are issues other than confessional differences that may offend some readers. For in the course of our work we found ourselves questioning some comfortable modern evangelical practices. Like the notion that evangelism is the only call of the church. Or hit-and-run witnessing. Or tried-and-true methodologies that are obsolete in today's post-Christian culture and thus guarantee that Christians end up talking only to themselves. Or the presumption that unless certain words are said, certain prayers repeated, one may not make it into the kingdom. </p> <p>We didn't set out to be controversial. But some called the original version of <i>The Body </i>just that. Yet better to stir up healthy debate than simply be complacent and comfortable. At any rate, we have consulted with some of the best theological minds, whose help we later more fully acknowledge and for which we are profoundly grateful, and we can only hope that if this book spurs discussion, it will invigorate the church.</p> <p>During a trip to the Midwest after the first publication of <i>The Body</i>, I encountered a young pastor who enthusiastically told me about the book's impact on his church. "We read <i>The Body </i>and took it seriously," he said. "The elders and I decided to see what would happen if we really incorporated its principles in our church.</p> <p>"You've never seen such controversy," he went on. "At one point, the church was divided right down the middle and I was asked to leave. Dissident groups broke away. It was horrendous. But then it began to change. People got serious about being Christians--and today we're people on fire for God." </p> <p>Finally, we want to point out that we've drawn many examples from prisons and from the oppressed church in other parts of the world. It is natural that we use the former since, through Prison Fellowship, we spend a great deal of time with the church behind prison walls. And we chose the latter because some of the greatest challenges for the comfortable church in the West come from our brothers and sisters living in much tougher places and situations around the world.</p> <p>Some critics have asked, Why would Chuck Colson write on the church? What are his credentials? After all, he is a layman who never attended seminary [which happens to be one of my great personal regrets] and never pastored a local congregation [for which, I'm quick to confess, I would lack the patience].</p> <p>Fair question. My answer is that I've been part of the universal church for thirty years, and as leader of Prison Fellowship for twenty-seven of those years, I have worked with and gathered insights from pastors and laypeople in thousands of vital congregations in the United States and around the world. I may be an "outsider" to the pastorate, but then again, that may not always be a disadvantage. As theologian Os Guinness has said, "If you want to know about water, the last one to ask is a fish."</p> <p>During the Reformation, <i>Coram Deo</i> became a rallying cry for the Reformers. It meant "in the presence of God" or "before the eyes of God," and as theologian R. C. Sproul has written, nothing marked the Reformation more than an awe of the holy, majestic God who calls men and women to Himself. </p> <p><i>Coram Deo</i>. Filled with this holy fear and reverence, the early church changed the world. Recapturing the biblical vision for God's people in the world, the Reformers were used to transform the culture around them. And fearing God rather than man, the persecuted church in the former Soviet empire changed the maps of the world at the end of the twentieth century.</p> <p>Today, in the early years of the twenty-first, what the church needs most desperately is holy awe: to understand that we live day by day in the presence of God; that, in truth, we live each instant not knowing whether in the next we will meet Him face to face. </p> <p>The catastrophe of 9-11 served as a profound reminder of that truth. It also reminded us of a fact that applies every single ordinary day of our lives: <i>Life is a mess</i>. Any Christian who chirps platitudes to the contrary is deluded. From the beginnings of His church, Jesus made it clear that we would be the Body in the midst of a sinful, broken world. </p> <p>Once we understand that severe challenge, it can set us free. For it is in the darkness that the light shines most brightly. It is in alienation that Christ's healing power is seen most clearly. It is in our weakness and brokenness that God's great strength is revealed. God did not design us to be robots in a sterile environment- "Stepford" Christians who are programmed to spout cheerful inanities and cannot handle any deviations from carefully constructed conventions. </p> <p>No, as September 11 should remind us forever, we are to be the Body-the manifestation of God's hope-in the blood, dirt, dust, and tears of the battlefields of this world. </p> <p>The question is, Are we ready for that challenge?</p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20040714 2004 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

But what we sometimes fail to recognize is that although Jesus Christ offered a message of forgiveness, He also spoke challenging, demanding words about what being a follower of Christ requires.</p> <p>In contrast to the superficiality of much modern Christian teaching, Dr. John MacArthur serves up the unvarnished truth of what Christ taught and lived. In simple, compelling terms, he spells out what is required of those who would follow Him. Going beyond Jesus' life to include the crucifixion and resurrection, MacArthur shows readers that Jesus modeled the commitment and loving obedience He requires of us by making the ultimate sacrifice for humankind.</p> 23 02 <b>CHAPTER ONE:</b> <p> <b>Tastes Great, Less Filling</b></p> <p> The first role of successful merchandising is to give consumers what they want. If they want bigger burgers, make their burgers bigger. Designer bottled water in six fruit flavors? Done. Minivans with ten cup holders? Give them twenty. You've got to keep the customer satisfied. You've got to modify your product and your message to meet their needs if you want to build a market and get ahead of the competition.</p> <p> Today this same consumer mind-set has invaded Christianity. The church service is too long, you say? We'll shorten it (one pastor guarantees his sermons will never last more than seven minutes!). Too formal? Wear your sweatsuit. Too boring? Wait'll you hear our band!</p> <p> And if the message is too confrontational, or too judgmental, or too exclusive, scary, unbelievable, hard to understand, or too much anything else for your taste, churches everywhere are eager to adjust that message to make you more comfortable. This new version of Christianity makes you a partner on the team, a design consultant on church life, and does away with old-fashioned authority, guilt trips, accountability, and moral absolutes. </p> <p> One suburban church sent out a mailer recently, promising an "informal, relaxed, casual atmosphere," "great music from our band," and that those who come will, "believe it or not, even have fun." That's all great if you're a coffee house. But anyone who claims to be calling people to the gospel of Jesus with those as his priorities is calling them to a lie. </p> <p> It's Christianity for consumers: Christianity Lite, the redirection, watering down, and misinterpretation of the biblical gospel in an attempt to make it more palatable and popular. It tastes great going down and settles light. It seems to salve your feelings and scratch your itch; it's custom tailored to your preferences. But that lightness will never fill you up with the true, saving gospel of Jesus Christ, because it is designed by man and not God, and it is hollow and worthless. In fact, it's worse than worthless, because people who hear the message of Christianity Lite think they're hearing the gospel-think they're being rescued from eternal judgment-when, in fact, they're being tragically misled. </p> <p><b>The False Gospel of Self-Esteem</b></p> <p> The true gospel is a call to self-denial. It is not a call to self-fulfillment. And that puts it in opposition to the contemporary evangelical gospel, where ministers view Jesus as a utilitarian genie. You rub the lamp, and He jumps out and says you have whatever you want; you give Him your list and He delivers. </p> <p> Defending the true gospel has put me in pretty serious opposition to folks who don't want to take the Bible seriously. I always say that the people I pastor at Grace Church must have a heart to submit to the Word of God, because that's the message they're going to get, unadorned and unadulterated, every time they walk through the door. If they're not willing to face the hard truth of conviction over their sins, the hard disturbing reality of self-denial and the hard demands of following Christ, they're not going to hang around very long. </p> <p> Some within the framework of evangelicalism will tell you Jesus just wants you well, and if you're not well, it's because you haven't turned in your spiritual lottery ticket. If you're not rich, it's because you haven't claimed it. Jesus wants you free from debt, and if you send the televangelists enough money, that act of faith will free you from the demon of debt. Your salvation through Christ is a guarantee of health, wealth, prosperity, and happiness. </p> <p> The psychologically man-centered evangelicals tell you that Jesus gives you peace, Jesus gives you joy, Jesus makes you a better salesman, and Jesus helps you hit more home runs. Jesus really wants to make you feel better about yourself. He wants to elevate your self-image. He wants to put an end to your negative thinking. </p> <p> It's interesting how this trend has come into the church. I've been around long enough to have seen it arrive. It blossomed, I think, most pointedly through the effort of the ever present small screen religious personality Robert Schuller and a book he wrote a number of years ago called <i>Self-Esteem: The New Reformation</i>. I reviewed that book for a national magazine. I thought Schuller's view was a turning point, literally, as the title says, an attempt to promote a new reformation. It was an effort to replace the biblical gospel with a new gospel. And it worked. </p> <p> In that book, Robert Schuller attacked the protestant reformation. Calling for a new reformation he wrote: "It is precisely at this point that classical theology has erred in its insistence that theology be 'God-centered' and not 'man-centered.'" So, according to Schuller, the first thing we have to do is put an end to classical, God-centered theology and replace it with man-centered theology. </p> <p> To define man-centered theology (an oxymoron), he wrote further, "This master plan of God is designed around the deepest needs of human beings-self-dignity, self-respect, self-worth, self-esteem." For Schuller, the pearl of great price is self-respect and self-esteem. He went on to say, "Success is to be defined as the gift of self-esteem that God gives us as a reward for our sacrificial service in building self-esteem in others. Win or lose: If we follow God's plan as faithfully as we can, we will feel good about ourselves. That is success!"</p> <p> Pardon me if I don't join. I can't think of a plan with which I'd less like to associate. </p> <p> In this new reformation of self-esteem, the first thing required is to pull God down from His supremely elevated place so you can then lift yourself up, replacing God-exalting theology with man-exalting, self-esteem psychology. To pull this off requires altering and misinterpreting the Bible and the gospel for the grand purpose of making people feel better about themselves, so they can fulfill their dreams and realize their visions. </p> <p> Maybe the most amazing statement in <i>Self-Esteem: The New Reformation</i> is the following: "Once a person believes he is an 'unworthy sinner,' it is doubtful if he can really honestly accept the saving grace God offers in Jesus Christ." So, if you want to be saved, according to this new gospel you cannot believe yourself to be an unworthy sinner. How twisted is that? How contrary to the truth is that? But it is just the sort of man-centered, self-esteem gospel that eventually became the seeker-friendly movement, which has hijacked so many churches. It's a kind of quasi-Christian narcissism, or self-love, that is characteristic of false teachers: according to 2 Timothy 3, which reminds us, "Dangerous times will come, for men will be lovers of themselves" (see 2 Tim. 3:1-2). </p> <p> Christianity, in the hands of seeker-sensitive church leaders, has become a "get what you want" rather than a "give up everything" movement. These leaders have prostituted the divine intention of the gospel. They have replaced the glory of God with the satisfaction of man. They have traded the concept of abandoning our lives to the honor of Christ for Christ honoring us. As such, our submission to His will is replaced by His submission to our will. Since people usually reject the real gospel, modern evangelicals have simply changed the message. </p> <p> A saint of many centuries ago got it right with this prayer:</p> <p> "Lord high and holy, meek and lowly, let me learn by paradox that the way down is the way up, that to be low is to be high, that the broken heart is the healed heart, that the contrite spirit is the rejoicing spirit, that the repenting soul is the victorious soul, that to have nothing is to possess everything, that to bear the cross is to wear the crown, that to give is to receive. Let me find thy light in my darkness, thy joy in my sorrow, thy grace in my sin, thy riches in my poverty, thy glory in my valley, thy life in my death."</p> <p> "Thy life in my death"? That's the true gospel. Jesus said it unmistakably and inescapably, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it" (Matt. 16:24-25). It's not about exalting me, it's about <i>slaying</i> me. It's the death of self. You win by losing; you live by dying. And that is the heart message of the gospel. That is the essence of discipleship. </p> <p> The passage mentions nothing about improving your self-esteem, being rich and successful, feeling good about yourself, or having your felt needs met, which is what so many churches are preaching these days in order to sugarcoat the truth.</p> <p> So who's right? Is the message of Christianity self-fulfillment, or is it self-denial? It can't be both. If it's just a matter of opinion, I'll do my thing and you do yours, and we'll both cruise contentedly along in separate directions. But Christianity, the genuine gospel of Jesus Christ, is not a matter of opinion. It is a matter of truth. What you want, or I want, or anybody else wants, makes no difference whatever. It is what it is-by God's sovereign will. </p> <p> <b>The Hard Words of Jesus</b></p> <p> I have no idea how the fans of Christianity Lite reconcile their approach to religion with the teachings of Jesus, or how they become comfortable ignoring what He said. But the only acceptable approach-for me and you-is to take our Lord at His word in the single source of truth for every authentic Christian: the word of God revealed in the Bible. So let's go there. </p> <p> Luke 9 cuts to the core of the question of what Christianity is all about. Here, Jesus was with his disciples shortly after miraculously feeding a crowd of five thousand, who had come to hear him speak, with one modest basket of loaves and fishes. In Luke 9:23-26 we read:</p> <p> Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father's, and of the holy angels."</p> <p> It's pretty simple. Anyone who wants to come after Jesus into the kingdom of God-anyone who wants to be a Christian-has to face three commands: 1) deny himself, 2) take up his cross daily, and 3) follow Him. These words are hard to believe. They're not consumer-friendly or seeker-sensitive. Christianity Lite is nowhere to be found. But this is not an obscure passage, or something different from other teachings of Jesus. These are principles that He taught consistently and repeatedly throughout His ministry, over and over again in all different contexts.</p> <p> This is not news. When Martin Luther launched the Protestant Reformation in 1517 by posting his ninety-five theses on the door at Wittenberg, he affirmed in the fourth thesis that salvation required self-hate. He wrote that "self-hate remains right up to entrance into the kingdom of heaven." The original Greek word for "deny" means "to refuse to associate with." The thought is that if you want to be Christ's disciple, and receive forgiveness and eternal life, you must refuse to associate any longer with the person you are! You are sick of your sinful self and want nothing to do with you anymore. And it may mean not just you, but your family. </p> <p> In Matthew 10:32, Jesus talked about confessing Him as Lord and Savior: "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven." And then in verses 34-36: "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and 'a man's enemies will be those of his own household.'"</p> <p> It's not a friendly invitation; it's a warning: If you come to Christ, it may make your family worse, not better. It may send a rift into your family, the likes of which you have never experienced before. If you give your life to Jesus Christ, there will be an impassable gulf between you and people who don't give their lives to Him. In fact, as the New Age Hindu mystic Deepak Chopra said to me on CNN Television: "You and I are in two different universes." I replied that he was exactly right. And that is not just true for strangers but also for family members, creating a severe breach in those most intimate of all relationships. </p> <p> Verse 37 adds, "He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me." If you're not willing to pay the price of a permanent split in your family unless your loved ones come to Christ-if you're not willing to pay the price of greater trauma, greater conflict, greater suffering in your family-then you're not worthy to be Jesus' disciple.</p> <p> Verse 38: "And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." Wait a minute. In Jesus' time, people associated a cross with one thing and one thing alone: a cross was an instrument of death. He was saying that if you're not willing to have conflict with the world to the degree that it could cost you your life, then you're not worthy of Him.</p> <p> Verse 39: "He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it." This is an echo of Luke 9. It's about losing your life. It's not a man-centered theology, it's a Christ-centered theology that says, "I give everything to Christ, no matter what it costs me, even if it costs me my life." </p> <p> <b>The True Gospel of Scripture</b></p> <p> This is a bedrock truth of Christianity that the Bible confirms repeatedly. Jesus said the same thing in many different ways. He said it in the familiar story of the rich young ruler. In Mark 10:17 the young synagogue leader ran up to Jesus, knelt before Him, and asked, "Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?"</p> <p> What a setup for personal evangelism! Jesus could have said, "Pray this prayer" or "Make a decision to accept Me!" He didn't. Instead He confronted the young man with the reality of sin to reveal whether he was convicted of his wickedness and penitent over his iniquities. Jesus offered several of the Ten Commandments as examples of the law of God the young man had broken. </p> <p> Rejecting any thought of sinfulness and repentance, the young man bragged about having obeyed the Ten Commandments all his life. He thought he was a perfect candidate for eternal life. But he got a response he didn't expect. In verse 21, Jesus said, "Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me." Jesus exposed his self-righteousness and then uncovered his love for money. The young ruler wanted Jesus to show him how to have eternal life. But Jesus told him that the price was giving up his illusion of self-righteousness, recognizing himself rather as an unworthy, wretched sinner. And he needed to be willing to submit to the Lord Jesus, even if it meant he had to give up all his earthly possessions. He might not ask, but the requirement for eternal life is the willingness to give it all up if He does. </p> <p> The young man wouldn't do either-admit his sin or deny himself. As verse 22 tells us, "But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions." He decided he'd rather hold onto the deception of self-righteousness, and have his money and possessions, than have Jesus. He had no interest in self-denial, self-sacrifice, or submission. Therefore he was unworthy to be Jesus' disciple, and he himself shut the door to the kingdom of salvation.</p> <p> We all know someone like the rich young ruler-cocky, self-assured, impressed with his own goodness-who sees Christian salvation as one more goal he can achieve through performance, skill, money, and influence. The Bible tells us that's not how it works. The goal is the unfamiliar one of sorrowfully acknowledging sin, of submission and sacrifice. If we're not willing to separate from our families, separate from the world, separate from the material things that we possess, then Jesus isn't that valuable to us. It's an all-or-nothing proposition. </p> <p> There's yet another example in Luke 9, where Jesus was walking down the road with some of his followers, and one of them promised, "I will follow you wherever you go." Jesus didn't say, "Hey, that's great. We're all going to the Ritz-Carlton for caviar." What He said, in verse 58, was, "Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head." Jesus didn't say, "Follow Me, and you will be happy, you will be healthy, wealthy, prosperous, and successful." He said, "Just know this: I don't have anyplace to lay My head. Discipleship is going to cost you whatever you have. Don't expect comfort and ease." </p> <p> The story continues in verse 59: "Then He said to another, 'Follow Me.' But he said, 'Lord, let me go first and bury my father.'" The implication here was that his father wasn't even dead. What did he mean, "go bury" his father? Did he mean go to the funeral? No, he meant hang around until he got the inheritance! He wasn't going to have anything if he followed Jesus. Jesus had nothing to give him, so he wanted to stick around the house until he could pack a fortune in his bag and then come after Jesus. He disappeared too.</p> <p> A third would-be follower of Jesus wanted to return home and organize a big farewell party with friends and family-to secure support for his venture. Jesus told him that those who entered His kingdom didn't go back to bring along elements of the old life. Rather they were like a farmer, who, once he grabbed the plow, kept looking forward so the furrow was straight (Luke 9:61-62).</p> <p> Jesus set the standard for total self-denial. In Luke 14:26, a great multitude was following Him and He turned and spoke to them: "If anyone comes to Me"-meaning those who wanted to be His true followers-"and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple." Self-hate? What a powerful truth! This is not salvation by good works but the very opposite: salvation by rejecting all hope of pleasing God on our own.</p> <p> Following Jesus is not about you and me. Being a Christian is not about us; it's not about our self-esteem. It's about our being sick of our sin and our desperation for forgiveness. It is about seeing Christ as the priceless Savior from sin and death and hell, so that we willingly give up as much as it takes, even if it costs us our families, our marriages, and whatever else we cherish and possess. </p> <p> It might even cost us our lives, as Jesus had said in Luke 9:24 and reaffirmed in 14:27: "And whoever does not bear his cross"-that is, be willing to die and give his life-"and come after Me cannot be My disciple." </p> <p> It can't be any clearer than that. If you try to hold onto you, your plan, your agenda, your success, your self-esteem, you lose forgiveness and heaven.</p> <p> In John 12:24, Jesus said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain." In other words, "If you're going to be fruitful in following Me," Jesus says, "it's going to cost you your life. You're going to have to die." Verse 25: "He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life." The path that Jesus was going down was the path to persecution and death. </p> <p> So you want to follow Jesus, do you? It'll cost you absolutely everything. </p> <p> The Lord might not take your life. He might not take all your money. He might not take your family or your spouse. He might not take your job. But you need to be willing to give it all up, if that's what He asks. You need to be desperate enough to embrace Christ no matter what the price. </p> <p> If you want to follow Christ right into heaven, here's the message: deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Him. Do you hear that in the contemporary gospel? Do you ever hear that in a message a television preacher or an evangelist gives? Do you ever hear anybody stand up in a crowd and say, "If you want to become a Christian, slay yourself! Refuse to associate any longer with yourself, reject all the things your self longs and wants and hopes for! Be willing to die for the sake of Christ, if required, and while living slavishly, submit in obedience to Jesus Christ!" That doesn't sell! That's not smart marketing. </p> <p> It's a message that's hard to believe, because self-denial is so hard to do. It just happens to be the truth. </p> <p><b> The Narrow Gate</b></p> <p> So, what do you want to do? According to lots of churches and preachers, the answer is to popularize the gospel: get rid of all this slaying-yourself and carrying-your-cross stuff, and get a decent band up there on the stage. Tell everybody God wants him to be happy and successful and full of self-esteem. </p> <p> The only problem is that saying those things gives people who don't know any better the illusion they're saved, when they're not. And someday, when they face Christ, they're going to say, "Lord, Lord!" and He's going to say, "Depart from Me. I never knew you." What's a good band worth then? About as much as healthy self-esteem. </p> <p> Mankind wants glory. We want health. We want wealth. We want happiness. We want all our felt needs met, all our little human itches scratched. We want a painless life. We want the crown without the cross. We want the gain without the pain. We want the words of Christian salvation to be easy. </p> <p> That's how people think. But that's not God's instruction to us. According to Hebrews 2:10, suffering made perfect the captain of our salvation. And so we also will go through the crucible of suffering. What we suffer first of all is the death of all hopes, all ambitions, all desires, all longings, all needs that are human.</p> <p> Listening to a seeker-sensitive evangelical preacher today, we're likely to think it's easy to be a Christian. Just say these little words, pray this little prayer, and poof! you're in the club. According to the Bible, it doesn't work that way. In Matthew 7:13 during the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus admonished His followers, "Enter by the narrow gate." The connotation of "narrow" here is <i>constricted.</i> It's a very, very tight squeeze. We can't carry anything through it; we come through with nothing. </p> <p> A wide religious gate also exists, and I am saddened to think so many preachers, and so many churches, are leading people through it. They're saying, "You don't have to do all that hard stuff to get into heaven. We're open-minded and inclusive, and we think everybody who wants to, should get saved." </p> <p> We've actually come to the point where people who call themselves Christians have <i>apologized</i> on behalf of all us hopelessly inflexible nitpickers: those who hang onto old, outmoded ideas that Christianity should be biblical, exclusive, inflexible, and inconvenient. Recently, a group of more than fifty pastors and laymen, including a divinity school dean, representing half a dozen mainline Christian denominations, placed an ad in a major daily newspaper insisting it was "wrong-ethically, morally and spiritually-for anyone, whether individual, group, church, or religion, to claim <i>exclusive </i>access to God or God's grace, blessing, or salvation . . . Claims of exclusivity by Christians and others have played a self-justifying role in causing untold human suffering …" </p> <p> Excuse me, but if Christians don't acknowledge and preach the fact that salvation is through Christ alone, they are herding unwitting people through the wide gate that leads to destruction. That's not my opinion; that's the Word of God. People are breezing through those wide, comfortable, inviting gates with all their baggage, their self-needs, their self-esteem, and their desire for fulfillment and self-satisfaction. And the most horrible thing about it is, they think they're going to heaven. And somebody thinks he's done them a big favor by coming up with a consumer-friendly gospel about which everybody feels good. </p> <p> But that gospel is a false gospel, a treacherous lie. That easy-access gate doesn't go to heaven. It says <i>Heaven,</i> but it ends up in hell. </p> <p> "Because narrow is the gate," Jesus said in Matthew 7:14, "and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." I agree that we have a hard time finding it, especially today. You could go to church after church after church and never find it. It's a very narrow gate. </p> <p> The same teaching appears in Luke 13:23-24: "Then one said to him, 'Lord, are there few who are saved?' And He said to them, 'Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able.'" It's hard to find, and it's hard to get through. </p> <p> Why is it so hard to find today, and why is it so hard to get through? It's hard to find because so many churches have strayed from teaching the truth of the gospel. And it's even harder, once we've heard the truth, to submit to it. Man worships himself. He's his own god. What we need to tell people is not "Come to Christ and you'll feel better about yourself," or "Jesus wants to meet whatever your needs are." Jesus doesn't want to meet our needs-our worldly, earthly, human needs. He wants us to be willing to say, "I will abandon all the things I think I need for the sake of Christ." </p> <p> It's hard to get through the narrow gate because it's so hard for us to deny ourselves. Jesus' first requirement in Luke 9 was for Christians to deny themselves, but that's just about impossible to do. Self-importance is the reigning reality in human fallenness: man is the master of his own soul, the captain of his own fate, the monarch of his own world. </p> <p> To say he has to deny and slay himself is simply too much to swallow. Preach a gospel that doesn't include that, and people will flock around to get out of hell and into heaven. But start preaching the <i>true</i> gospel, the hard words of Jesus that call for total and absolute self-denial-the recognition that we're worthy of nothing, commendable for nothing, and that nothing in us is worth salvaging-and that's a lot less popular. Take it from someone whose brains have been targeted on national television. </p> <p> <b>Counting the Cost</b></p> <p> In Luke 14:28-30, Jesus asked, "For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it-lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all those who see it begin to mock him, saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.'"</p> <p> If you're going to come to Christ, you're going to have to count the cost. Have you counted the cost? Do you even understand there's a price to pay? We know what the price is because, as we've already seen, the Bible tells us clearly, unequivocally, and repeatedly. The price is a willingness to hate your father and mother, if necessary, hate your own life, carry your cross, and come after Jesus. Nothing in the world must we hold so dear that we will forfeit Christ for it. </p> <p> Continuing in verses 31-32: "Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace." You either make peace with the enemy if you can't conquer him, or you make sure you've got the troops that you need to win the battle. In other words, Jesus was saying, "Don't come to Me unless you've counted the cost. And the price is self-denial, self-crucifixion, and self-submission."</p> <p> In Luke 14:33, He delivered the point: "So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple." We're not going to get saved by dumping all our earthly goods, but we have to be willing to do so. That's how devoted we have to be to the cause of Christ. We will deny ourselves all of our worldly longings. We will even deny our own right to live, and give our lives, if need be, for the cause of Jesus Christ. We will submit to His will, following Him whatever He asks, whether He says we must lose these things or we can keep them. That's up to Him. </p> <p> Jesus told two parables in Matthew 13, beginning with verse 44. He said, "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field." In the next verse, He told the story of a man who found a pearl of great price and sold all he had to buy it. The complete surrender of all possessions is the essence of salvation. It is: "I give up everything. I deny myself. I offer my life, both in terms of death, if need be, and in terms of obedience in life."</p> <p> Earlier we saw those who insist that the pearl of great price in the Christian faith is "genuine respect and self-esteem." It is nothing of the sort. The pearl of great price, the treasure worth everything you and I possess, is the saving grace of Jesus Christ that we are hopelessly undeserving of, but that we can claim as our own by denying ourselves, picking up our cross daily, and following Him. </p> <p> This is the message of the gospel. When you call people to Jesus, that's what you have to say. </p> <p> <b>Keeping the Customer Satisfied</b></p> <p> Now comes the issue that's behind all the pop music and self-congratulation and "fun" that the seeker-sensitive churches promise: people aren't going to buy Christianity if it's that hard. If it doesn't meet their needs, they won't be interested. If they want six fruit flavors and you've got only two, you've lost them. They need Christianity that tastes great, and if it's less filling in the short run, well, we'll explain all the hard stuff later.</p> <p> There's a name for that in the marketing world, and it's called bait and switch. You advertise a TV for a rock-bottom price, but when the consumer gets to the store, that particular model is unavailable. There's a more expensive one here, however, that's a lot like it. It's not what we promised you. In fact, what we promised never existed. The offer was a sham. </p> <p> What happens at a seeker-sensitive church when somebody takes the bait? He thinks, "Hey, this Christianity thing is not hard at all. Meet nice people, hear an inspiring message and some cool music, get to heaven." But at some point the truth comes out. The hard words of Jesus come out: "It's not about you, it's about Me and sacrificing yourself to follow Me." </p> <p> It's absolutely true that nobody's going to want to be a Christian under those circumstances, <i>unless the Spirit of God is working in his heart</i>. Unless the Spirit of God is doing the work of conviction, is awakening the dead heart, and generating faith, nothing's going to happen, <i>no matter what you do</i>. And then <i>only the true message of Jesus, connected with the work of the Spirit, will produce true salvation</i>. The fountain of grace will open and flow to the self-denying sinner. This is the very essence of grace. It is when we offer nothing in ourselves as worthy of salvation, but affirm our hatred of worthless self, that God grants us grace to rescue us from sin and hell. </p> <p> We can't reinvent the gospel to suit ourselves, our own comfort and convenience. But that's what people are doing today. That's why I've written this book. If you modify the message to make Christianity more attractive, then what you have is not Christianity.</p> <p> I'm not promoting legalism in any form, only fidelity to Scripture, though some people have decided I'm sort of harsh and hard-nosed. One well-known evangelical friend thought he was complimenting me when he introduced me by saying, "This is John MacArthur, who is much nicer in person than he is in his books." </p> <p> I smiled and said, "In person it's much easier to demonstrate the love of Christ."</p> <p> Well-meaning congregations and pastors go to great lengths to steer around the teachings of Jesus that are hard to believe. They don't do it because they're sinister, or malicious, or consciously out to deceive anybody. They do it because good news is fun to deliver, but hard words aren't. Hard words are sometimes confusing and embarrassing; it's hard to make eye contact when you repeat some of them.</p> <p> Christians don't know how to interpret and share the hard words of Jesus, so they skip over them. But delivering half the message is almost worse than delivering no message at all. All of what Jesus has to say is important. It's not up to us to decide what we'll pass on and what we'll try to hide.</p> <p> My prayer is that this book will help you understand that the right invitation to Christianity is the one that's complete and transparent; that hiding the truth doesn't help but, in fact, infinitely hurts people; and that there are ways you can use the full dimension of the gospel to proclaim a powerful, compelling evangelical message that the Lord will bless.</p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20031113 2003 06 02 0785261524 02 0785263470 02 1418507431 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

But what we sometimes fail to recognize is that although Jesus Christ offered a message of forgiveness, He also spoke challenging, demanding words about what being a follower of Christ requires.</p> <p>In contrast to the superficiality of much modern Christian teaching, Dr. John MacArthur serves up the unvarnished truth of what Christ taught and lived. In simple, compelling terms, he spells out what is required of those who would follow Him. Going beyond Jesus' life to include the crucifixion and resurrection, MacArthur shows readers that Jesus modeled the commitment and loving obedience He requires of us by making the ultimate sacrifice for humankind.</p> 23 02 <b>CHAPTER ONE:</b> <p> <b>Tastes Great, Less Filling</b></p> <p> The first role of successful merchandising is to give consumers what they want. If they want bigger burgers, make their burgers bigger. Designer bottled water in six fruit flavors? Done. Minivans with ten cup holders? Give them twenty. You've got to keep the customer satisfied. You've got to modify your product and your message to meet their needs if you want to build a market and get ahead of the competition.</p> <p> Today this same consumer mind-set has invaded Christianity. The church service is too long, you say? We'll shorten it (one pastor guarantees his sermons will never last more than seven minutes!). Too formal? Wear your sweatsuit. Too boring? Wait'll you hear our band!</p> <p> And if the message is too confrontational, or too judgmental, or too exclusive, scary, unbelievable, hard to understand, or too much anything else for your taste, churches everywhere are eager to adjust that message to make you more comfortable. This new version of Christianity makes you a partner on the team, a design consultant on church life, and does away with old-fashioned authority, guilt trips, accountability, and moral absolutes. </p> <p> One suburban church sent out a mailer recently, promising an "informal, relaxed, casual atmosphere," "great music from our band," and that those who come will, "believe it or not, even have fun." That's all great if you're a coffee house. But anyone who claims to be calling people to the gospel of Jesus with those as his priorities is calling them to a lie. </p> <p> It's Christianity for consumers: Christianity Lite, the redirection, watering down, and misinterpretation of the biblical gospel in an attempt to make it more palatable and popular. It tastes great going down and settles light. It seems to salve your feelings and scratch your itch; it's custom tailored to your preferences. But that lightness will never fill you up with the true, saving gospel of Jesus Christ, because it is designed by man and not God, and it is hollow and worthless. In fact, it's worse than worthless, because people who hear the message of Christianity Lite think they're hearing the gospel-think they're being rescued from eternal judgment-when, in fact, they're being tragically misled. </p> <p><b>The False Gospel of Self-Esteem</b></p> <p> The true gospel is a call to self-denial. It is not a call to self-fulfillment. And that puts it in opposition to the contemporary evangelical gospel, where ministers view Jesus as a utilitarian genie. You rub the lamp, and He jumps out and says you have whatever you want; you give Him your list and He delivers. </p> <p> Defending the true gospel has put me in pretty serious opposition to folks who don't want to take the Bible seriously. I always say that the people I pastor at Grace Church must have a heart to submit to the Word of God, because that's the message they're going to get, unadorned and unadulterated, every time they walk through the door. If they're not willing to face the hard truth of conviction over their sins, the hard disturbing reality of self-denial and the hard demands of following Christ, they're not going to hang around very long. </p> <p> Some within the framework of evangelicalism will tell you Jesus just wants you well, and if you're not well, it's because you haven't turned in your spiritual lottery ticket. If you're not rich, it's because you haven't claimed it. Jesus wants you free from debt, and if you send the televangelists enough money, that act of faith will free you from the demon of debt. Your salvation through Christ is a guarantee of health, wealth, prosperity, and happiness. </p> <p> The psychologically man-centered evangelicals tell you that Jesus gives you peace, Jesus gives you joy, Jesus makes you a better salesman, and Jesus helps you hit more home runs. Jesus really wants to make you feel better about yourself. He wants to elevate your self-image. He wants to put an end to your negative thinking. </p> <p> It's interesting how this trend has come into the church. I've been around long enough to have seen it arrive. It blossomed, I think, most pointedly through the effort of the ever present small screen religious personality Robert Schuller and a book he wrote a number of years ago called <i>Self-Esteem: The New Reformation</i>. I reviewed that book for a national magazine. I thought Schuller's view was a turning point, literally, as the title says, an attempt to promote a new reformation. It was an effort to replace the biblical gospel with a new gospel. And it worked. </p> <p> In that book, Robert Schuller attacked the protestant reformation. Calling for a new reformation he wrote: "It is precisely at this point that classical theology has erred in its insistence that theology be 'God-centered' and not 'man-centered.'" So, according to Schuller, the first thing we have to do is put an end to classical, God-centered theology and replace it with man-centered theology. </p> <p> To define man-centered theology (an oxymoron), he wrote further, "This master plan of God is designed around the deepest needs of human beings-self-dignity, self-respect, self-worth, self-esteem." For Schuller, the pearl of great price is self-respect and self-esteem. He went on to say, "Success is to be defined as the gift of self-esteem that God gives us as a reward for our sacrificial service in building self-esteem in others. Win or lose: If we follow God's plan as faithfully as we can, we will feel good about ourselves. That is success!"</p> <p> Pardon me if I don't join. I can't think of a plan with which I'd less like to associate. </p> <p> In this new reformation of self-esteem, the first thing required is to pull God down from His supremely elevated place so you can then lift yourself up, replacing God-exalting theology with man-exalting, self-esteem psychology. To pull this off requires altering and misinterpreting the Bible and the gospel for the grand purpose of making people feel better about themselves, so they can fulfill their dreams and realize their visions. </p> <p> Maybe the most amazing statement in <i>Self-Esteem: The New Reformation</i> is the following: "Once a person believes he is an 'unworthy sinner,' it is doubtful if he can really honestly accept the saving grace God offers in Jesus Christ." So, if you want to be saved, according to this new gospel you cannot believe yourself to be an unworthy sinner. How twisted is that? How contrary to the truth is that? But it is just the sort of man-centered, self-esteem gospel that eventually became the seeker-friendly movement, which has hijacked so many churches. It's a kind of quasi-Christian narcissism, or self-love, that is characteristic of false teachers: according to 2 Timothy 3, which reminds us, "Dangerous times will come, for men will be lovers of themselves" (see 2 Tim. 3:1-2). </p> <p> Christianity, in the hands of seeker-sensitive church leaders, has become a "get what you want" rather than a "give up everything" movement. These leaders have prostituted the divine intention of the gospel. They have replaced the glory of God with the satisfaction of man. They have traded the concept of abandoning our lives to the honor of Christ for Christ honoring us. As such, our submission to His will is replaced by His submission to our will. Since people usually reject the real gospel, modern evangelicals have simply changed the message. </p> <p> A saint of many centuries ago got it right with this prayer:</p> <p> "Lord high and holy, meek and lowly, let me learn by paradox that the way down is the way up, that to be low is to be high, that the broken heart is the healed heart, that the contrite spirit is the rejoicing spirit, that the repenting soul is the victorious soul, that to have nothing is to possess everything, that to bear the cross is to wear the crown, that to give is to receive. Let me find thy light in my darkness, thy joy in my sorrow, thy grace in my sin, thy riches in my poverty, thy glory in my valley, thy life in my death."</p> <p> "Thy life in my death"? That's the true gospel. Jesus said it unmistakably and inescapably, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it" (Matt. 16:24-25). It's not about exalting me, it's about <i>slaying</i> me. It's the death of self. You win by losing; you live by dying. And that is the heart message of the gospel. That is the essence of discipleship. </p> <p> The passage mentions nothing about improving your self-esteem, being rich and successful, feeling good about yourself, or having your felt needs met, which is what so many churches are preaching these days in order to sugarcoat the truth.</p> <p> So who's right? Is the message of Christianity self-fulfillment, or is it self-denial? It can't be both. If it's just a matter of opinion, I'll do my thing and you do yours, and we'll both cruise contentedly along in separate directions. But Christianity, the genuine gospel of Jesus Christ, is not a matter of opinion. It is a matter of truth. What you want, or I want, or anybody else wants, makes no difference whatever. It is what it is-by God's sovereign will. </p> <p> <b>The Hard Words of Jesus</b></p> <p> I have no idea how the fans of Christianity Lite reconcile their approach to religion with the teachings of Jesus, or how they become comfortable ignoring what He said. But the only acceptable approach-for me and you-is to take our Lord at His word in the single source of truth for every authentic Christian: the word of God revealed in the Bible. So let's go there. </p> <p> Luke 9 cuts to the core of the question of what Christianity is all about. Here, Jesus was with his disciples shortly after miraculously feeding a crowd of five thousand, who had come to hear him speak, with one modest basket of loaves and fishes. In Luke 9:23-26 we read:</p> <p> Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father's, and of the holy angels."</p> <p> It's pretty simple. Anyone who wants to come after Jesus into the kingdom of God-anyone who wants to be a Christian-has to face three commands: 1) deny himself, 2) take up his cross daily, and 3) follow Him. These words are hard to believe. They're not consumer-friendly or seeker-sensitive. Christianity Lite is nowhere to be found. But this is not an obscure passage, or something different from other teachings of Jesus. These are principles that He taught consistently and repeatedly throughout His ministry, over and over again in all different contexts.</p> <p> This is not news. When Martin Luther launched the Protestant Reformation in 1517 by posting his ninety-five theses on the door at Wittenberg, he affirmed in the fourth thesis that salvation required self-hate. He wrote that "self-hate remains right up to entrance into the kingdom of heaven." The original Greek word for "deny" means "to refuse to associate with." The thought is that if you want to be Christ's disciple, and receive forgiveness and eternal life, you must refuse to associate any longer with the person you are! You are sick of your sinful self and want nothing to do with you anymore. And it may mean not just you, but your family. </p> <p> In Matthew 10:32, Jesus talked about confessing Him as Lord and Savior: "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven." And then in verses 34-36: "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and 'a man's enemies will be those of his own household.'"</p> <p> It's not a friendly invitation; it's a warning: If you come to Christ, it may make your family worse, not better. It may send a rift into your family, the likes of which you have never experienced before. If you give your life to Jesus Christ, there will be an impassable gulf between you and people who don't give their lives to Him. In fact, as the New Age Hindu mystic Deepak Chopra said to me on CNN Television: "You and I are in two different universes." I replied that he was exactly right. And that is not just true for strangers but also for family members, creating a severe breach in those most intimate of all relationships. </p> <p> Verse 37 adds, "He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me." If you're not willing to pay the price of a permanent split in your family unless your loved ones come to Christ-if you're not willing to pay the price of greater trauma, greater conflict, greater suffering in your family-then you're not worthy to be Jesus' disciple.</p> <p> Verse 38: "And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." Wait a minute. In Jesus' time, people associated a cross with one thing and one thing alone: a cross was an instrument of death. He was saying that if you're not willing to have conflict with the world to the degree that it could cost you your life, then you're not worthy of Him.</p> <p> Verse 39: "He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it." This is an echo of Luke 9. It's about losing your life. It's not a man-centered theology, it's a Christ-centered theology that says, "I give everything to Christ, no matter what it costs me, even if it costs me my life." </p> <p> <b>The True Gospel of Scripture</b></p> <p> This is a bedrock truth of Christianity that the Bible confirms repeatedly. Jesus said the same thing in many different ways. He said it in the familiar story of the rich young ruler. In Mark 10:17 the young synagogue leader ran up to Jesus, knelt before Him, and asked, "Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?"</p> <p> What a setup for personal evangelism! Jesus could have said, "Pray this prayer" or "Make a decision to accept Me!" He didn't. Instead He confronted the young man with the reality of sin to reveal whether he was convicted of his wickedness and penitent over his iniquities. Jesus offered several of the Ten Commandments as examples of the law of God the young man had broken. </p> <p> Rejecting any thought of sinfulness and repentance, the young man bragged about having obeyed the Ten Commandments all his life. He thought he was a perfect candidate for eternal life. But he got a response he didn't expect. In verse 21, Jesus said, "Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me." Jesus exposed his self-righteousness and then uncovered his love for money. The young ruler wanted Jesus to show him how to have eternal life. But Jesus told him that the price was giving up his illusion of self-righteousness, recognizing himself rather as an unworthy, wretched sinner. And he needed to be willing to submit to the Lord Jesus, even if it meant he had to give up all his earthly possessions. He might not ask, but the requirement for eternal life is the willingness to give it all up if He does. </p> <p> The young man wouldn't do either-admit his sin or deny himself. As verse 22 tells us, "But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions." He decided he'd rather hold onto the deception of self-righteousness, and have his money and possessions, than have Jesus. He had no interest in self-denial, self-sacrifice, or submission. Therefore he was unworthy to be Jesus' disciple, and he himself shut the door to the kingdom of salvation.</p> <p> We all know someone like the rich young ruler-cocky, self-assured, impressed with his own goodness-who sees Christian salvation as one more goal he can achieve through performance, skill, money, and influence. The Bible tells us that's not how it works. The goal is the unfamiliar one of sorrowfully acknowledging sin, of submission and sacrifice. If we're not willing to separate from our families, separate from the world, separate from the material things that we possess, then Jesus isn't that valuable to us. It's an all-or-nothing proposition. </p> <p> There's yet another example in Luke 9, where Jesus was walking down the road with some of his followers, and one of them promised, "I will follow you wherever you go." Jesus didn't say, "Hey, that's great. We're all going to the Ritz-Carlton for caviar." What He said, in verse 58, was, "Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head." Jesus didn't say, "Follow Me, and you will be happy, you will be healthy, wealthy, prosperous, and successful." He said, "Just know this: I don't have anyplace to lay My head. Discipleship is going to cost you whatever you have. Don't expect comfort and ease." </p> <p> The story continues in verse 59: "Then He said to another, 'Follow Me.' But he said, 'Lord, let me go first and bury my father.'" The implication here was that his father wasn't even dead. What did he mean, "go bury" his father? Did he mean go to the funeral? No, he meant hang around until he got the inheritance! He wasn't going to have anything if he followed Jesus. Jesus had nothing to give him, so he wanted to stick around the house until he could pack a fortune in his bag and then come after Jesus. He disappeared too.</p> <p> A third would-be follower of Jesus wanted to return home and organize a big farewell party with friends and family-to secure support for his venture. Jesus told him that those who entered His kingdom didn't go back to bring along elements of the old life. Rather they were like a farmer, who, once he grabbed the plow, kept looking forward so the furrow was straight (Luke 9:61-62).</p> <p> Jesus set the standard for total self-denial. In Luke 14:26, a great multitude was following Him and He turned and spoke to them: "If anyone comes to Me"-meaning those who wanted to be His true followers-"and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple." Self-hate? What a powerful truth! This is not salvation by good works but the very opposite: salvation by rejecting all hope of pleasing God on our own.</p> <p> Following Jesus is not about you and me. Being a Christian is not about us; it's not about our self-esteem. It's about our being sick of our sin and our desperation for forgiveness. It is about seeing Christ as the priceless Savior from sin and death and hell, so that we willingly give up as much as it takes, even if it costs us our families, our marriages, and whatever else we cherish and possess. </p> <p> It might even cost us our lives, as Jesus had said in Luke 9:24 and reaffirmed in 14:27: "And whoever does not bear his cross"-that is, be willing to die and give his life-"and come after Me cannot be My disciple." </p> <p> It can't be any clearer than that. If you try to hold onto you, your plan, your agenda, your success, your self-esteem, you lose forgiveness and heaven.</p> <p> In John 12:24, Jesus said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain." In other words, "If you're going to be fruitful in following Me," Jesus says, "it's going to cost you your life. You're going to have to die." Verse 25: "He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life." The path that Jesus was going down was the path to persecution and death. </p> <p> So you want to follow Jesus, do you? It'll cost you absolutely everything. </p> <p> The Lord might not take your life. He might not take all your money. He might not take your family or your spouse. He might not take your job. But you need to be willing to give it all up, if that's what He asks. You need to be desperate enough to embrace Christ no matter what the price. </p> <p> If you want to follow Christ right into heaven, here's the message: deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Him. Do you hear that in the contemporary gospel? Do you ever hear that in a message a television preacher or an evangelist gives? Do you ever hear anybody stand up in a crowd and say, "If you want to become a Christian, slay yourself! Refuse to associate any longer with yourself, reject all the things your self longs and wants and hopes for! Be willing to die for the sake of Christ, if required, and while living slavishly, submit in obedience to Jesus Christ!" That doesn't sell! That's not smart marketing. </p> <p> It's a message that's hard to believe, because self-denial is so hard to do. It just happens to be the truth. </p> <p><b> The Narrow Gate</b></p> <p> So, what do you want to do? According to lots of churches and preachers, the answer is to popularize the gospel: get rid of all this slaying-yourself and carrying-your-cross stuff, and get a decent band up there on the stage. Tell everybody God wants him to be happy and successful and full of self-esteem. </p> <p> The only problem is that saying those things gives people who don't know any better the illusion they're saved, when they're not. And someday, when they face Christ, they're going to say, "Lord, Lord!" and He's going to say, "Depart from Me. I never knew you." What's a good band worth then? About as much as healthy self-esteem. </p> <p> Mankind wants glory. We want health. We want wealth. We want happiness. We want all our felt needs met, all our little human itches scratched. We want a painless life. We want the crown without the cross. We want the gain without the pain. We want the words of Christian salvation to be easy. </p> <p> That's how people think. But that's not God's instruction to us. According to Hebrews 2:10, suffering made perfect the captain of our salvation. And so we also will go through the crucible of suffering. What we suffer first of all is the death of all hopes, all ambitions, all desires, all longings, all needs that are human.</p> <p> Listening to a seeker-sensitive evangelical preacher today, we're likely to think it's easy to be a Christian. Just say these little words, pray this little prayer, and poof! you're in the club. According to the Bible, it doesn't work that way. In Matthew 7:13 during the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus admonished His followers, "Enter by the narrow gate." The connotation of "narrow" here is <i>constricted.</i> It's a very, very tight squeeze. We can't carry anything through it; we come through with nothing. </p> <p> A wide religious gate also exists, and I am saddened to think so many preachers, and so many churches, are leading people through it. They're saying, "You don't have to do all that hard stuff to get into heaven. We're open-minded and inclusive, and we think everybody who wants to, should get saved." </p> <p> We've actually come to the point where people who call themselves Christians have <i>apologized</i> on behalf of all us hopelessly inflexible nitpickers: those who hang onto old, outmoded ideas that Christianity should be biblical, exclusive, inflexible, and inconvenient. Recently, a group of more than fifty pastors and laymen, including a divinity school dean, representing half a dozen mainline Christian denominations, placed an ad in a major daily newspaper insisting it was "wrong-ethically, morally and spiritually-for anyone, whether individual, group, church, or religion, to claim <i>exclusive </i>access to God or God's grace, blessing, or salvation . . . Claims of exclusivity by Christians and others have played a self-justifying role in causing untold human suffering …" </p> <p> Excuse me, but if Christians don't acknowledge and preach the fact that salvation is through Christ alone, they are herding unwitting people through the wide gate that leads to destruction. That's not my opinion; that's the Word of God. People are breezing through those wide, comfortable, inviting gates with all their baggage, their self-needs, their self-esteem, and their desire for fulfillment and self-satisfaction. And the most horrible thing about it is, they think they're going to heaven. And somebody thinks he's done them a big favor by coming up with a consumer-friendly gospel about which everybody feels good. </p> <p> But that gospel is a false gospel, a treacherous lie. That easy-access gate doesn't go to heaven. It says <i>Heaven,</i> but it ends up in hell. </p> <p> "Because narrow is the gate," Jesus said in Matthew 7:14, "and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." I agree that we have a hard time finding it, especially today. You could go to church after church after church and never find it. It's a very narrow gate. </p> <p> The same teaching appears in Luke 13:23-24: "Then one said to him, 'Lord, are there few who are saved?' And He said to them, 'Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able.'" It's hard to find, and it's hard to get through. </p> <p> Why is it so hard to find today, and why is it so hard to get through? It's hard to find because so many churches have strayed from teaching the truth of the gospel. And it's even harder, once we've heard the truth, to submit to it. Man worships himself. He's his own god. What we need to tell people is not "Come to Christ and you'll feel better about yourself," or "Jesus wants to meet whatever your needs are." Jesus doesn't want to meet our needs-our worldly, earthly, human needs. He wants us to be willing to say, "I will abandon all the things I think I need for the sake of Christ." </p> <p> It's hard to get through the narrow gate because it's so hard for us to deny ourselves. Jesus' first requirement in Luke 9 was for Christians to deny themselves, but that's just about impossible to do. Self-importance is the reigning reality in human fallenness: man is the master of his own soul, the captain of his own fate, the monarch of his own world. </p> <p> To say he has to deny and slay himself is simply too much to swallow. Preach a gospel that doesn't include that, and people will flock around to get out of hell and into heaven. But start preaching the <i>true</i> gospel, the hard words of Jesus that call for total and absolute self-denial-the recognition that we're worthy of nothing, commendable for nothing, and that nothing in us is worth salvaging-and that's a lot less popular. Take it from someone whose brains have been targeted on national television. </p> <p> <b>Counting the Cost</b></p> <p> In Luke 14:28-30, Jesus asked, "For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it-lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all those who see it begin to mock him, saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.'"</p> <p> If you're going to come to Christ, you're going to have to count the cost. Have you counted the cost? Do you even understand there's a price to pay? We know what the price is because, as we've already seen, the Bible tells us clearly, unequivocally, and repeatedly. The price is a willingness to hate your father and mother, if necessary, hate your own life, carry your cross, and come after Jesus. Nothing in the world must we hold so dear that we will forfeit Christ for it. </p> <p> Continuing in verses 31-32: "Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace." You either make peace with the enemy if you can't conquer him, or you make sure you've got the troops that you need to win the battle. In other words, Jesus was saying, "Don't come to Me unless you've counted the cost. And the price is self-denial, self-crucifixion, and self-submission."</p> <p> In Luke 14:33, He delivered the point: "So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple." We're not going to get saved by dumping all our earthly goods, but we have to be willing to do so. That's how devoted we have to be to the cause of Christ. We will deny ourselves all of our worldly longings. We will even deny our own right to live, and give our lives, if need be, for the cause of Jesus Christ. We will submit to His will, following Him whatever He asks, whether He says we must lose these things or we can keep them. That's up to Him. </p> <p> Jesus told two parables in Matthew 13, beginning with verse 44. He said, "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field." In the next verse, He told the story of a man who found a pearl of great price and sold all he had to buy it. The complete surrender of all possessions is the essence of salvation. It is: "I give up everything. I deny myself. I offer my life, both in terms of death, if need be, and in terms of obedience in life."</p> <p> Earlier we saw those who insist that the pearl of great price in the Christian faith is "genuine respect and self-esteem." It is nothing of the sort. The pearl of great price, the treasure worth everything you and I possess, is the saving grace of Jesus Christ that we are hopelessly undeserving of, but that we can claim as our own by denying ourselves, picking up our cross daily, and following Him. </p> <p> This is the message of the gospel. When you call people to Jesus, that's what you have to say. </p> <p> <b>Keeping the Customer Satisfied</b></p> <p> Now comes the issue that's behind all the pop music and self-congratulation and "fun" that the seeker-sensitive churches promise: people aren't going to buy Christianity if it's that hard. If it doesn't meet their needs, they won't be interested. If they want six fruit flavors and you've got only two, you've lost them. They need Christianity that tastes great, and if it's less filling in the short run, well, we'll explain all the hard stuff later.</p> <p> There's a name for that in the marketing world, and it's called bait and switch. You advertise a TV for a rock-bottom price, but when the consumer gets to the store, that particular model is unavailable. There's a more expensive one here, however, that's a lot like it. It's not what we promised you. In fact, what we promised never existed. The offer was a sham. </p> <p> What happens at a seeker-sensitive church when somebody takes the bait? He thinks, "Hey, this Christianity thing is not hard at all. Meet nice people, hear an inspiring message and some cool music, get to heaven." But at some point the truth comes out. The hard words of Jesus come out: "It's not about you, it's about Me and sacrificing yourself to follow Me." </p> <p> It's absolutely true that nobody's going to want to be a Christian under those circumstances, <i>unless the Spirit of God is working in his heart</i>. Unless the Spirit of God is doing the work of conviction, is awakening the dead heart, and generating faith, nothing's going to happen, <i>no matter what you do</i>. And then <i>only the true message of Jesus, connected with the work of the Spirit, will produce true salvation</i>. The fountain of grace will open and flow to the self-denying sinner. This is the very essence of grace. It is when we offer nothing in ourselves as worthy of salvation, but affirm our hatred of worthless self, that God grants us grace to rescue us from sin and hell. </p> <p> We can't reinvent the gospel to suit ourselves, our own comfort and convenience. But that's what people are doing today. That's why I've written this book. If you modify the message to make Christianity more attractive, then what you have is not Christianity.</p> <p> I'm not promoting legalism in any form, only fidelity to Scripture, though some people have decided I'm sort of harsh and hard-nosed. One well-known evangelical friend thought he was complimenting me when he introduced me by saying, "This is John MacArthur, who is much nicer in person than he is in his books." </p> <p> I smiled and said, "In person it's much easier to demonstrate the love of Christ."</p> <p> Well-meaning congregations and pastors go to great lengths to steer around the teachings of Jesus that are hard to believe. They don't do it because they're sinister, or malicious, or consciously out to deceive anybody. They do it because good news is fun to deliver, but hard words aren't. Hard words are sometimes confusing and embarrassing; it's hard to make eye contact when you repeat some of them.</p> <p> Christians don't know how to interpret and share the hard words of Jesus, so they skip over them. But delivering half the message is almost worse than delivering no message at all. All of what Jesus has to say is important. It's not up to us to decide what we'll pass on and what we'll try to hide.</p> <p> My prayer is that this book will help you understand that the right invitation to Christianity is the one that's complete and transparent; that hiding the truth doesn't help but, in fact, infinitely hurts people; and that there are ways you can use the full dimension of the gospel to proclaim a powerful, compelling evangelical message that the Lord will bless.</p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20031204 2003 06 02 0785261524 02 0785263454 02 1418507431 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

But what we sometimes fail to recognize is that although Jesus Christ offered a message of forgiveness, He also spoke challenging, demanding words about what being a follower of Christ requires.</p> <p>In contrast to the superficiality of much modern Christian teaching, Dr. John MacArthur serves up the unvarnished truth of what Christ taught and lived. In simple, compelling terms, he spells out what is required of those who would follow Him. Going beyond Jesus' life to include the crucifixion and resurrection, MacArthur shows readers that Jesus modeled the commitment and loving obedience He requires of us by making the ultimate sacrifice for humankind.</p> 23 02 <b>CHAPTER ONE:</b> <p> <b>Tastes Great, Less Filling</b></p> <p> The first role of successful merchandising is to give consumers what they want. If they want bigger burgers, make their burgers bigger. Designer bottled water in six fruit flavors? Done. Minivans with ten cup holders? Give them twenty. You've got to keep the customer satisfied. You've got to modify your product and your message to meet their needs if you want to build a market and get ahead of the competition.</p> <p> Today this same consumer mind-set has invaded Christianity. The church service is too long, you say? We'll shorten it (one pastor guarantees his sermons will never last more than seven minutes!). Too formal? Wear your sweatsuit. Too boring? Wait'll you hear our band!</p> <p> And if the message is too confrontational, or too judgmental, or too exclusive, scary, unbelievable, hard to understand, or too much anything else for your taste, churches everywhere are eager to adjust that message to make you more comfortable. This new version of Christianity makes you a partner on the team, a design consultant on church life, and does away with old-fashioned authority, guilt trips, accountability, and moral absolutes. </p> <p> One suburban church sent out a mailer recently, promising an "informal, relaxed, casual atmosphere," "great music from our band," and that those who come will, "believe it or not, even have fun." That's all great if you're a coffee house. But anyone who claims to be calling people to the gospel of Jesus with those as his priorities is calling them to a lie. </p> <p> It's Christianity for consumers: Christianity Lite, the redirection, watering down, and misinterpretation of the biblical gospel in an attempt to make it more palatable and popular. It tastes great going down and settles light. It seems to salve your feelings and scratch your itch; it's custom tailored to your preferences. But that lightness will never fill you up with the true, saving gospel of Jesus Christ, because it is designed by man and not God, and it is hollow and worthless. In fact, it's worse than worthless, because people who hear the message of Christianity Lite think they're hearing the gospel-think they're being rescued from eternal judgment-when, in fact, they're being tragically misled. </p> <p><b>The False Gospel of Self-Esteem</b></p> <p> The true gospel is a call to self-denial. It is not a call to self-fulfillment. And that puts it in opposition to the contemporary evangelical gospel, where ministers view Jesus as a utilitarian genie. You rub the lamp, and He jumps out and says you have whatever you want; you give Him your list and He delivers. </p> <p> Defending the true gospel has put me in pretty serious opposition to folks who don't want to take the Bible seriously. I always say that the people I pastor at Grace Church must have a heart to submit to the Word of God, because that's the message they're going to get, unadorned and unadulterated, every time they walk through the door. If they're not willing to face the hard truth of conviction over their sins, the hard disturbing reality of self-denial and the hard demands of following Christ, they're not going to hang around very long. </p> <p> Some within the framework of evangelicalism will tell you Jesus just wants you well, and if you're not well, it's because you haven't turned in your spiritual lottery ticket. If you're not rich, it's because you haven't claimed it. Jesus wants you free from debt, and if you send the televangelists enough money, that act of faith will free you from the demon of debt. Your salvation through Christ is a guarantee of health, wealth, prosperity, and happiness. </p> <p> The psychologically man-centered evangelicals tell you that Jesus gives you peace, Jesus gives you joy, Jesus makes you a better salesman, and Jesus helps you hit more home runs. Jesus really wants to make you feel better about yourself. He wants to elevate your self-image. He wants to put an end to your negative thinking. </p> <p> It's interesting how this trend has come into the church. I've been around long enough to have seen it arrive. It blossomed, I think, most pointedly through the effort of the ever present small screen religious personality Robert Schuller and a book he wrote a number of years ago called <i>Self-Esteem: The New Reformation</i>. I reviewed that book for a national magazine. I thought Schuller's view was a turning point, literally, as the title says, an attempt to promote a new reformation. It was an effort to replace the biblical gospel with a new gospel. And it worked. </p> <p> In that book, Robert Schuller attacked the protestant reformation. Calling for a new reformation he wrote: "It is precisely at this point that classical theology has erred in its insistence that theology be 'God-centered' and not 'man-centered.'" So, according to Schuller, the first thing we have to do is put an end to classical, God-centered theology and replace it with man-centered theology. </p> <p> To define man-centered theology (an oxymoron), he wrote further, "This master plan of God is designed around the deepest needs of human beings-self-dignity, self-respect, self-worth, self-esteem." For Schuller, the pearl of great price is self-respect and self-esteem. He went on to say, "Success is to be defined as the gift of self-esteem that God gives us as a reward for our sacrificial service in building self-esteem in others. Win or lose: If we follow God's plan as faithfully as we can, we will feel good about ourselves. That is success!"</p> <p> Pardon me if I don't join. I can't think of a plan with which I'd less like to associate. </p> <p> In this new reformation of self-esteem, the first thing required is to pull God down from His supremely elevated place so you can then lift yourself up, replacing God-exalting theology with man-exalting, self-esteem psychology. To pull this off requires altering and misinterpreting the Bible and the gospel for the grand purpose of making people feel better about themselves, so they can fulfill their dreams and realize their visions. </p> <p> Maybe the most amazing statement in <i>Self-Esteem: The New Reformation</i> is the following: "Once a person believes he is an 'unworthy sinner,' it is doubtful if he can really honestly accept the saving grace God offers in Jesus Christ." So, if you want to be saved, according to this new gospel you cannot believe yourself to be an unworthy sinner. How twisted is that? How contrary to the truth is that? But it is just the sort of man-centered, self-esteem gospel that eventually became the seeker-friendly movement, which has hijacked so many churches. It's a kind of quasi-Christian narcissism, or self-love, that is characteristic of false teachers: according to 2 Timothy 3, which reminds us, "Dangerous times will come, for men will be lovers of themselves" (see 2 Tim. 3:1-2). </p> <p> Christianity, in the hands of seeker-sensitive church leaders, has become a "get what you want" rather than a "give up everything" movement. These leaders have prostituted the divine intention of the gospel. They have replaced the glory of God with the satisfaction of man. They have traded the concept of abandoning our lives to the honor of Christ for Christ honoring us. As such, our submission to His will is replaced by His submission to our will. Since people usually reject the real gospel, modern evangelicals have simply changed the message. </p> <p> A saint of many centuries ago got it right with this prayer:</p> <p> "Lord high and holy, meek and lowly, let me learn by paradox that the way down is the way up, that to be low is to be high, that the broken heart is the healed heart, that the contrite spirit is the rejoicing spirit, that the repenting soul is the victorious soul, that to have nothing is to possess everything, that to bear the cross is to wear the crown, that to give is to receive. Let me find thy light in my darkness, thy joy in my sorrow, thy grace in my sin, thy riches in my poverty, thy glory in my valley, thy life in my death."</p> <p> "Thy life in my death"? That's the true gospel. Jesus said it unmistakably and inescapably, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it" (Matt. 16:24-25). It's not about exalting me, it's about <i>slaying</i> me. It's the death of self. You win by losing; you live by dying. And that is the heart message of the gospel. That is the essence of discipleship. </p> <p> The passage mentions nothing about improving your self-esteem, being rich and successful, feeling good about yourself, or having your felt needs met, which is what so many churches are preaching these days in order to sugarcoat the truth.</p> <p> So who's right? Is the message of Christianity self-fulfillment, or is it self-denial? It can't be both. If it's just a matter of opinion, I'll do my thing and you do yours, and we'll both cruise contentedly along in separate directions. But Christianity, the genuine gospel of Jesus Christ, is not a matter of opinion. It is a matter of truth. What you want, or I want, or anybody else wants, makes no difference whatever. It is what it is-by God's sovereign will. </p> <p> <b>The Hard Words of Jesus</b></p> <p> I have no idea how the fans of Christianity Lite reconcile their approach to religion with the teachings of Jesus, or how they become comfortable ignoring what He said. But the only acceptable approach-for me and you-is to take our Lord at His word in the single source of truth for every authentic Christian: the word of God revealed in the Bible. So let's go there. </p> <p> Luke 9 cuts to the core of the question of what Christianity is all about. Here, Jesus was with his disciples shortly after miraculously feeding a crowd of five thousand, who had come to hear him speak, with one modest basket of loaves and fishes. In Luke 9:23-26 we read:</p> <p> Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father's, and of the holy angels."</p> <p> It's pretty simple. Anyone who wants to come after Jesus into the kingdom of God-anyone who wants to be a Christian-has to face three commands: 1) deny himself, 2) take up his cross daily, and 3) follow Him. These words are hard to believe. They're not consumer-friendly or seeker-sensitive. Christianity Lite is nowhere to be found. But this is not an obscure passage, or something different from other teachings of Jesus. These are principles that He taught consistently and repeatedly throughout His ministry, over and over again in all different contexts.</p> <p> This is not news. When Martin Luther launched the Protestant Reformation in 1517 by posting his ninety-five theses on the door at Wittenberg, he affirmed in the fourth thesis that salvation required self-hate. He wrote that "self-hate remains right up to entrance into the kingdom of heaven." The original Greek word for "deny" means "to refuse to associate with." The thought is that if you want to be Christ's disciple, and receive forgiveness and eternal life, you must refuse to associate any longer with the person you are! You are sick of your sinful self and want nothing to do with you anymore. And it may mean not just you, but your family. </p> <p> In Matthew 10:32, Jesus talked about confessing Him as Lord and Savior: "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven." And then in verses 34-36: "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and 'a man's enemies will be those of his own household.'"</p> <p> It's not a friendly invitation; it's a warning: If you come to Christ, it may make your family worse, not better. It may send a rift into your family, the likes of which you have never experienced before. If you give your life to Jesus Christ, there will be an impassable gulf between you and people who don't give their lives to Him. In fact, as the New Age Hindu mystic Deepak Chopra said to me on CNN Television: "You and I are in two different universes." I replied that he was exactly right. And that is not just true for strangers but also for family members, creating a severe breach in those most intimate of all relationships. </p> <p> Verse 37 adds, "He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me." If you're not willing to pay the price of a permanent split in your family unless your loved ones come to Christ-if you're not willing to pay the price of greater trauma, greater conflict, greater suffering in your family-then you're not worthy to be Jesus' disciple.</p> <p> Verse 38: "And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." Wait a minute. In Jesus' time, people associated a cross with one thing and one thing alone: a cross was an instrument of death. He was saying that if you're not willing to have conflict with the world to the degree that it could cost you your life, then you're not worthy of Him.</p> <p> Verse 39: "He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it." This is an echo of Luke 9. It's about losing your life. It's not a man-centered theology, it's a Christ-centered theology that says, "I give everything to Christ, no matter what it costs me, even if it costs me my life." </p> <p> <b>The True Gospel of Scripture</b></p> <p> This is a bedrock truth of Christianity that the Bible confirms repeatedly. Jesus said the same thing in many different ways. He said it in the familiar story of the rich young ruler. In Mark 10:17 the young synagogue leader ran up to Jesus, knelt before Him, and asked, "Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?"</p> <p> What a setup for personal evangelism! Jesus could have said, "Pray this prayer" or "Make a decision to accept Me!" He didn't. Instead He confronted the young man with the reality of sin to reveal whether he was convicted of his wickedness and penitent over his iniquities. Jesus offered several of the Ten Commandments as examples of the law of God the young man had broken. </p> <p> Rejecting any thought of sinfulness and repentance, the young man bragged about having obeyed the Ten Commandments all his life. He thought he was a perfect candidate for eternal life. But he got a response he didn't expect. In verse 21, Jesus said, "Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me." Jesus exposed his self-righteousness and then uncovered his love for money. The young ruler wanted Jesus to show him how to have eternal life. But Jesus told him that the price was giving up his illusion of self-righteousness, recognizing himself rather as an unworthy, wretched sinner. And he needed to be willing to submit to the Lord Jesus, even if it meant he had to give up all his earthly possessions. He might not ask, but the requirement for eternal life is the willingness to give it all up if He does. </p> <p> The young man wouldn't do either-admit his sin or deny himself. As verse 22 tells us, "But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions." He decided he'd rather hold onto the deception of self-righteousness, and have his money and possessions, than have Jesus. He had no interest in self-denial, self-sacrifice, or submission. Therefore he was unworthy to be Jesus' disciple, and he himself shut the door to the kingdom of salvation.</p> <p> We all know someone like the rich young ruler-cocky, self-assured, impressed with his own goodness-who sees Christian salvation as one more goal he can achieve through performance, skill, money, and influence. The Bible tells us that's not how it works. The goal is the unfamiliar one of sorrowfully acknowledging sin, of submission and sacrifice. If we're not willing to separate from our families, separate from the world, separate from the material things that we possess, then Jesus isn't that valuable to us. It's an all-or-nothing proposition. </p> <p> There's yet another example in Luke 9, where Jesus was walking down the road with some of his followers, and one of them promised, "I will follow you wherever you go." Jesus didn't say, "Hey, that's great. We're all going to the Ritz-Carlton for caviar." What He said, in verse 58, was, "Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head." Jesus didn't say, "Follow Me, and you will be happy, you will be healthy, wealthy, prosperous, and successful." He said, "Just know this: I don't have anyplace to lay My head. Discipleship is going to cost you whatever you have. Don't expect comfort and ease." </p> <p> The story continues in verse 59: "Then He said to another, 'Follow Me.' But he said, 'Lord, let me go first and bury my father.'" The implication here was that his father wasn't even dead. What did he mean, "go bury" his father? Did he mean go to the funeral? No, he meant hang around until he got the inheritance! He wasn't going to have anything if he followed Jesus. Jesus had nothing to give him, so he wanted to stick around the house until he could pack a fortune in his bag and then come after Jesus. He disappeared too.</p> <p> A third would-be follower of Jesus wanted to return home and organize a big farewell party with friends and family-to secure support for his venture. Jesus told him that those who entered His kingdom didn't go back to bring along elements of the old life. Rather they were like a farmer, who, once he grabbed the plow, kept looking forward so the furrow was straight (Luke 9:61-62).</p> <p> Jesus set the standard for total self-denial. In Luke 14:26, a great multitude was following Him and He turned and spoke to them: "If anyone comes to Me"-meaning those who wanted to be His true followers-"and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple." Self-hate? What a powerful truth! This is not salvation by good works but the very opposite: salvation by rejecting all hope of pleasing God on our own.</p> <p> Following Jesus is not about you and me. Being a Christian is not about us; it's not about our self-esteem. It's about our being sick of our sin and our desperation for forgiveness. It is about seeing Christ as the priceless Savior from sin and death and hell, so that we willingly give up as much as it takes, even if it costs us our families, our marriages, and whatever else we cherish and possess. </p> <p> It might even cost us our lives, as Jesus had said in Luke 9:24 and reaffirmed in 14:27: "And whoever does not bear his cross"-that is, be willing to die and give his life-"and come after Me cannot be My disciple." </p> <p> It can't be any clearer than that. If you try to hold onto you, your plan, your agenda, your success, your self-esteem, you lose forgiveness and heaven.</p> <p> In John 12:24, Jesus said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain." In other words, "If you're going to be fruitful in following Me," Jesus says, "it's going to cost you your life. You're going to have to die." Verse 25: "He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life." The path that Jesus was going down was the path to persecution and death. </p> <p> So you want to follow Jesus, do you? It'll cost you absolutely everything. </p> <p> The Lord might not take your life. He might not take all your money. He might not take your family or your spouse. He might not take your job. But you need to be willing to give it all up, if that's what He asks. You need to be desperate enough to embrace Christ no matter what the price. </p> <p> If you want to follow Christ right into heaven, here's the message: deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Him. Do you hear that in the contemporary gospel? Do you ever hear that in a message a television preacher or an evangelist gives? Do you ever hear anybody stand up in a crowd and say, "If you want to become a Christian, slay yourself! Refuse to associate any longer with yourself, reject all the things your self longs and wants and hopes for! Be willing to die for the sake of Christ, if required, and while living slavishly, submit in obedience to Jesus Christ!" That doesn't sell! That's not smart marketing. </p> <p> It's a message that's hard to believe, because self-denial is so hard to do. It just happens to be the truth. </p> <p><b> The Narrow Gate</b></p> <p> So, what do you want to do? According to lots of churches and preachers, the answer is to popularize the gospel: get rid of all this slaying-yourself and carrying-your-cross stuff, and get a decent band up there on the stage. Tell everybody God wants him to be happy and successful and full of self-esteem. </p> <p> The only problem is that saying those things gives people who don't know any better the illusion they're saved, when they're not. And someday, when they face Christ, they're going to say, "Lord, Lord!" and He's going to say, "Depart from Me. I never knew you." What's a good band worth then? About as much as healthy self-esteem. </p> <p> Mankind wants glory. We want health. We want wealth. We want happiness. We want all our felt needs met, all our little human itches scratched. We want a painless life. We want the crown without the cross. We want the gain without the pain. We want the words of Christian salvation to be easy. </p> <p> That's how people think. But that's not God's instruction to us. According to Hebrews 2:10, suffering made perfect the captain of our salvation. And so we also will go through the crucible of suffering. What we suffer first of all is the death of all hopes, all ambitions, all desires, all longings, all needs that are human.</p> <p> Listening to a seeker-sensitive evangelical preacher today, we're likely to think it's easy to be a Christian. Just say these little words, pray this little prayer, and poof! you're in the club. According to the Bible, it doesn't work that way. In Matthew 7:13 during the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus admonished His followers, "Enter by the narrow gate." The connotation of "narrow" here is <i>constricted.</i> It's a very, very tight squeeze. We can't carry anything through it; we come through with nothing. </p> <p> A wide religious gate also exists, and I am saddened to think so many preachers, and so many churches, are leading people through it. They're saying, "You don't have to do all that hard stuff to get into heaven. We're open-minded and inclusive, and we think everybody who wants to, should get saved." </p> <p> We've actually come to the point where people who call themselves Christians have <i>apologized</i> on behalf of all us hopelessly inflexible nitpickers: those who hang onto old, outmoded ideas that Christianity should be biblical, exclusive, inflexible, and inconvenient. Recently, a group of more than fifty pastors and laymen, including a divinity school dean, representing half a dozen mainline Christian denominations, placed an ad in a major daily newspaper insisting it was "wrong-ethically, morally and spiritually-for anyone, whether individual, group, church, or religion, to claim <i>exclusive </i>access to God or God's grace, blessing, or salvation . . . Claims of exclusivity by Christians and others have played a self-justifying role in causing untold human suffering …" </p> <p> Excuse me, but if Christians don't acknowledge and preach the fact that salvation is through Christ alone, they are herding unwitting people through the wide gate that leads to destruction. That's not my opinion; that's the Word of God. People are breezing through those wide, comfortable, inviting gates with all their baggage, their self-needs, their self-esteem, and their desire for fulfillment and self-satisfaction. And the most horrible thing about it is, they think they're going to heaven. And somebody thinks he's done them a big favor by coming up with a consumer-friendly gospel about which everybody feels good. </p> <p> But that gospel is a false gospel, a treacherous lie. That easy-access gate doesn't go to heaven. It says <i>Heaven,</i> but it ends up in hell. </p> <p> "Because narrow is the gate," Jesus said in Matthew 7:14, "and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." I agree that we have a hard time finding it, especially today. You could go to church after church after church and never find it. It's a very narrow gate. </p> <p> The same teaching appears in Luke 13:23-24: "Then one said to him, 'Lord, are there few who are saved?' And He said to them, 'Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able.'" It's hard to find, and it's hard to get through. </p> <p> Why is it so hard to find today, and why is it so hard to get through? It's hard to find because so many churches have strayed from teaching the truth of the gospel. And it's even harder, once we've heard the truth, to submit to it. Man worships himself. He's his own god. What we need to tell people is not "Come to Christ and you'll feel better about yourself," or "Jesus wants to meet whatever your needs are." Jesus doesn't want to meet our needs-our worldly, earthly, human needs. He wants us to be willing to say, "I will abandon all the things I think I need for the sake of Christ." </p> <p> It's hard to get through the narrow gate because it's so hard for us to deny ourselves. Jesus' first requirement in Luke 9 was for Christians to deny themselves, but that's just about impossible to do. Self-importance is the reigning reality in human fallenness: man is the master of his own soul, the captain of his own fate, the monarch of his own world. </p> <p> To say he has to deny and slay himself is simply too much to swallow. Preach a gospel that doesn't include that, and people will flock around to get out of hell and into heaven. But start preaching the <i>true</i> gospel, the hard words of Jesus that call for total and absolute self-denial-the recognition that we're worthy of nothing, commendable for nothing, and that nothing in us is worth salvaging-and that's a lot less popular. Take it from someone whose brains have been targeted on national television. </p> <p> <b>Counting the Cost</b></p> <p> In Luke 14:28-30, Jesus asked, "For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it-lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all those who see it begin to mock him, saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.'"</p> <p> If you're going to come to Christ, you're going to have to count the cost. Have you counted the cost? Do you even understand there's a price to pay? We know what the price is because, as we've already seen, the Bible tells us clearly, unequivocally, and repeatedly. The price is a willingness to hate your father and mother, if necessary, hate your own life, carry your cross, and come after Jesus. Nothing in the world must we hold so dear that we will forfeit Christ for it. </p> <p> Continuing in verses 31-32: "Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace." You either make peace with the enemy if you can't conquer him, or you make sure you've got the troops that you need to win the battle. In other words, Jesus was saying, "Don't come to Me unless you've counted the cost. And the price is self-denial, self-crucifixion, and self-submission."</p> <p> In Luke 14:33, He delivered the point: "So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple." We're not going to get saved by dumping all our earthly goods, but we have to be willing to do so. That's how devoted we have to be to the cause of Christ. We will deny ourselves all of our worldly longings. We will even deny our own right to live, and give our lives, if need be, for the cause of Jesus Christ. We will submit to His will, following Him whatever He asks, whether He says we must lose these things or we can keep them. That's up to Him. </p> <p> Jesus told two parables in Matthew 13, beginning with verse 44. He said, "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field." In the next verse, He told the story of a man who found a pearl of great price and sold all he had to buy it. The complete surrender of all possessions is the essence of salvation. It is: "I give up everything. I deny myself. I offer my life, both in terms of death, if need be, and in terms of obedience in life."</p> <p> Earlier we saw those who insist that the pearl of great price in the Christian faith is "genuine respect and self-esteem." It is nothing of the sort. The pearl of great price, the treasure worth everything you and I possess, is the saving grace of Jesus Christ that we are hopelessly undeserving of, but that we can claim as our own by denying ourselves, picking up our cross daily, and following Him. </p> <p> This is the message of the gospel. When you call people to Jesus, that's what you have to say. </p> <p> <b>Keeping the Customer Satisfied</b></p> <p> Now comes the issue that's behind all the pop music and self-congratulation and "fun" that the seeker-sensitive churches promise: people aren't going to buy Christianity if it's that hard. If it doesn't meet their needs, they won't be interested. If they want six fruit flavors and you've got only two, you've lost them. They need Christianity that tastes great, and if it's less filling in the short run, well, we'll explain all the hard stuff later.</p> <p> There's a name for that in the marketing world, and it's called bait and switch. You advertise a TV for a rock-bottom price, but when the consumer gets to the store, that particular model is unavailable. There's a more expensive one here, however, that's a lot like it. It's not what we promised you. In fact, what we promised never existed. The offer was a sham. </p> <p> What happens at a seeker-sensitive church when somebody takes the bait? He thinks, "Hey, this Christianity thing is not hard at all. Meet nice people, hear an inspiring message and some cool music, get to heaven." But at some point the truth comes out. The hard words of Jesus come out: "It's not about you, it's about Me and sacrificing yourself to follow Me." </p> <p> It's absolutely true that nobody's going to want to be a Christian under those circumstances, <i>unless the Spirit of God is working in his heart</i>. Unless the Spirit of God is doing the work of conviction, is awakening the dead heart, and generating faith, nothing's going to happen, <i>no matter what you do</i>. And then <i>only the true message of Jesus, connected with the work of the Spirit, will produce true salvation</i>. The fountain of grace will open and flow to the self-denying sinner. This is the very essence of grace. It is when we offer nothing in ourselves as worthy of salvation, but affirm our hatred of worthless self, that God grants us grace to rescue us from sin and hell. </p> <p> We can't reinvent the gospel to suit ourselves, our own comfort and convenience. But that's what people are doing today. That's why I've written this book. If you modify the message to make Christianity more attractive, then what you have is not Christianity.</p> <p> I'm not promoting legalism in any form, only fidelity to Scripture, though some people have decided I'm sort of harsh and hard-nosed. One well-known evangelical friend thought he was complimenting me when he introduced me by saying, "This is John MacArthur, who is much nicer in person than he is in his books." </p> <p> I smiled and said, "In person it's much easier to demonstrate the love of Christ."</p> <p> Well-meaning congregations and pastors go to great lengths to steer around the teachings of Jesus that are hard to believe. They don't do it because they're sinister, or malicious, or consciously out to deceive anybody. They do it because good news is fun to deliver, but hard words aren't. Hard words are sometimes confusing and embarrassing; it's hard to make eye contact when you repeat some of them.</p> <p> Christians don't know how to interpret and share the hard words of Jesus, so they skip over them. But delivering half the message is almost worse than delivering no message at all. All of what Jesus has to say is important. It's not up to us to decide what we'll pass on and what we'll try to hide.</p> <p> My prayer is that this book will help you understand that the right invitation to Christianity is the one that's complete and transparent; that hiding the truth doesn't help but, in fact, infinitely hurts people; and that there are ways you can use the full dimension of the gospel to proclaim a powerful, compelling evangelical message that the Lord will bless.</p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20031204 2003 06 02 0785263454 02 0785263470 02 1418507431 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

But more unfortunate is the woman suffering from poor <i>soul</i> image-the woman who can't see herself as beautiful even on the inside.</p> <p>"Do you think I'm beautiful?" is an emotionally and spiritually charged question. But it is one that Angela Thomas believes is universal to all women-whether they adamantly deny it or announce it each time they enter a room. Until a woman gives herself permission to ask this question, and until she asks the only One who can ultimately answer it, fulfillment will be elusive. This workbook allows readers to apply the lessons Angela has learned on her own feminine journey, as she asked this question, searching for an answer in all the wrong places. Excerpts from the book are paired with in-depth Bible study questions and ample space for recording thoughts and responses.</p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20031112 2003 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

And as Christians, too often we talk about God's ability to change lives without fully understanding how to access that power. </p> <p>The reason is simple: we ourselves have never been radically transformed. McManus explains how many people unknowingly block God from changing us and teaches readers the "texture of the heart" required to unleash God's transforming power within us. He also demonstrates the passion and purpose that lie ahead when we undertake the journey that leads us to the true source, the very character of God. Fascinating stories from McManus's personal life and ministry, paired with fresh biblical teaching and profound insights, will astonish and challenge readers to break free from negative habits, destructive emotions, and other strongholds that hinder lasting transformation and to turn toward a life marked by enlightenment, nobility, and virtue.</p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20030904 2003 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

The System comes in a beautiful turned-edge book, complete with the following timeless elements:</p> <ul> <li>3 audio CD's with Dr. MacArthur reading the verse-of-the-week, and providing a brief exposition of what that verse means and why it is so important to remember.</li> <li>A handy pack of printed cards, one for each verse, so that you can put one in your wallet or purse to refresh your memory of the weekly verse.</li> <li>CD-ROM containing a dynamic desktop complete with the text of week's verse and a link to listen to the audio of the verse! Also contains a screen saver with each week's verse.</li> </ul> <p>For old and new Bible readers alike, <i>The MacArthur Scripture Memory System</i> is an excellent way to really get into the Word and commit it to memory.</p> <p>Works with Windows XP, 2000, 98SE and Internet Explorer 5.5 to 6.0 only.</p> 23 02 The centerpiece of The McArthur Scripture Memory System is the audio CD's. On these CD's you will hear John MacArthur recite each passage, and then provide a brief commentary on the significance of the passage. You can listen to the audio anywhere you have access to a CD player. We recommend listening to it in your car while driving to work. You could also listen while exercising, cooking, or even working. The length of each audio segment ranges from 3-5 minutes. When the audio is finished, we encourage you to listen to the segment over again, as many times as possible. There is one track of audio for each week of the program. After listening to the segment several times, spend some time meditating on the passage and explanation from Dr. MacArthur. You might want to ask yourself the following questions: § What does this passage teach me about Jesus Christ? § Does this passage contain any command for me to obey? § Is there any promise for me to claim? § Is there any instruction for me to follow? Not all of the questions can be answered for every passage. Memorizing for memorization sake won't do anyone any good, but if you make the passage real, and applicable to your life, then you will be equipped to use the passage when you need it. Finally, be sure to keep the audio CD's readily accessible. If you can, it is a good idea to listen to each audio segment several times each day. If you listened to the audio driving into work, listen again on the way home! By the end of the week, you will probably even have Dr. MacArthur's thoughts memorized!

In <em>The Murder of Jesus</em>, John MacArthur presents this pivotal moment in the life of Jesus in a way that forces readers to witness this event in all its power. The passion of Christ is examined chronologically through the lens of the New Testament with special attention given to Jesus' words on the cross, the miracle that attended the crucifixion, and the significance of Christ's atoning work. In doing so, MacArthur relives the most awesome injustice in the history of man and the unparalleled triumph of the sovereignty of God.</p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20040401 2004 06 02 1418505234 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

Now she's dying young and still haunted by thoughts of her long-ago love. Her best friend Lauren, determined to put Carrie's mind at ease, sets out to do something completely foreign to her own cautious, conservative nature. Out of love, Lauren will find and confront the man she despises, the man who broke her best friend's heart, the man who has spent the last twenty years running from his past. Out of love, she will journey alone to retrieve secrets left behind after that never-for-gotten summer. And somehow, she will set into motion events that change nothing...but transform everything. As the mysteries of twenty years unravel, as husband and son and friend and even a long-lost love converge to say goodbye, something unexpected unfolds. Another seaside adventure. Another moonlight swim. And somethow, even at eventide, the miracle of enduring grace.</p> 23 02 <p><b>Prologue</b></p> <p> <em> 1989--Italy </em></p> <p> It was momentary and often overlooked, though it happened everyday. </p> <p> A glance toward the eventide had stopped Carrie before, made her consider all the sunsets she'd missed, but never a pause with such foreboding. The sunset had been dramatic as Carrie, with Lauren and Graham, walked the cobblestone path along the village seashore. Now the light settled down, bringing a dark feeling of change. She quickly made a joke and laughed to avoid whatever warning this night attempted to bring. </p> <p> "Beat you to the water," she said and started running. </p> <p> Lauren raced after her until they reached the shore, where they kicked off their sandals to let the smooth Mediterranean waters cover their feet. </p> <p> "I beat you," Carrie called, though Lauren had been ahead of her. </p> <p> "Oh, no, you didn't," Lauren said, reaching down to splash water Carrie's way. </p> <p> Graham approached more slowly, watching them as he came, the silent observer. </p> <p> "We should swim," Carrie said, gazing farther out. Each wave slid softly over the pebbled shore to wrap around their feet. Behind them, strands of jazz played somewhere; the sounds of laughter and conversation in robust Italian tones filtered down from the village. </p> <p> "It's nearly dark," Lauren said. </p> <p> "Yes, it's nearly dark," Graham echoed as he came to Carrie's side. She laughed at his smile, remembering their night in this very place, swimming in streams of moonlight. </p> <p> "And the Benders are expecting us for dinner," Lauren reminded. </p> <p> Carrie sighed, thinking how perfect it'd be to swim in waves turning a deep chrome blue. </p> <p> "Oh, it's the eventide," Carrie said, staring at the light on the horizon, the evidence of the sun's staged bow and exit into the sea. </p> <p> Lauren unwound a string of seaweed from her feet. </p> <p> Standing beside Carrie, Graham stared in silence at the liquid rhythms that met the last stretches of light on the horizon. His fingers wove through hers, and Carrie felt the electric tingles of his touch. She wondered if that sensation would ever subside--how she hoped it never would. </p> <p> "Surely you have a poem or quote for this moment, Lauren," Carrie said. </p> <p> Lauren splashed softly through the water to Carrie's other side. "Well, hmm, as Longfellow wrote, 'The day is done, and the darkness falls from the wings of Night.' I could go on." </p> <p> "Yes, do," Graham said in an interested tone that pleased Carrie. Graham had tried to bridge the rift that had come at Lauren's arrival in Italy a few weeks earlier. </p> <p> "'As a feather is wafted downward from an eagle in his flight.' That's enough," Lauren said firmly, though she smiled at them both. </p> <p> "Lauren does this all the time--remembers the best quotes and says them at just the right moment. I wish I had such a memory." Carrie took Lauren's hand and pulled her closer. Now all three faced the darkening horizon. </p> <p> Carrie knew the discomfort between Lauren and Graham would improve in time. It was her love for both of them that brought them together on this <em>bella noche</em>. </p> <p><em> We each have our secrets. Is that what keeps Graham and Lauren at a distance? Perhaps soon we will give what we carry to one another, our burdens lightened at last. </em></p> <p> "We should get back," Lauren said, then took a step away. "Or, I could go if you guys want . . . you know, some time alone. We only have a few more days left." </p> <p> "Then back to America," Carrie whispered, wondering how to ever leave this perfect summer in Italy. Would it all disappear once the real world returned, become like a dream or a story once told? </p> <p> "I really am American through and through," Lauren said. "And I'm so happy to be traveling home with an escort. The getting here alone nearly did me in." </p> <p> Carrie laughed. "Well, next trip to Europe, you'll have to come for the entire vacation, not leave your best friend to jaunt around while you sit behind an office desk." </p> <p> "Next trip to Europe, eh? Oh, to be back to Coke that tastes like Coke," Lauren said. </p> <p> "Back to hamburgers and fries," Graham added. </p> <p> "Back to jobs, responsibilities, and routines."

An Italian seaside village. Days of adventure and romantic exploration. Moonlight swims in a sparkling sea. A once-in-a-lifetime love. And though it ended in heartbreak, though she moved on to marry happily and have a son, Carrie never quite put that summer behind her. Now she's dying young and still haunted by thoughts of her long-ago love. Her best friend Lauren, determined to put Carrie's mind at ease, sets out to do something completely foreign to her own cautious, conservative nature. Out of love, Lauren will find and confront the man she despises, the man who broke her best friend's heart, the man who has spent the last twenty years running from his past. Out of love, she will journey alone to retrieve secrets left behind after that never-for-gotten summer. And somehow, she will set into motion events that change nothing...but transform everything. As the mysteries of twenty years unravel, as husband and son and friend and even a long-lost love converge to say goodbye, something unexpected unfolds. Another seaside adventure. Another moonlight swim. And somethow, even at eventide, the miracle of enduring grace.</p> 23 02 <p><b>Prologue</b></p> <p> <em> 1989--Italy </em></p> <p> It was momentary and often overlooked, though it happened everyday. </p> <p> A glance toward the eventide had stopped Carrie before, made her consider all the sunsets she'd missed, but never a pause with such foreboding. The sunset had been dramatic as Carrie, with Lauren and Graham, walked the cobblestone path along the village seashore. Now the light settled down, bringing a dark feeling of change. She quickly made a joke and laughed to avoid whatever warning this night attempted to bring. </p> <p> "Beat you to the water," she said and started running. </p> <p> Lauren raced after her until they reached the shore, where they kicked off their sandals to let the smooth Mediterranean waters cover their feet. </p> <p> "I beat you," Carrie called, though Lauren had been ahead of her. </p> <p> "Oh, no, you didn't," Lauren said, reaching down to splash water Carrie's way. </p> <p> Graham approached more slowly, watching them as he came, the silent observer. </p> <p> "We should swim," Carrie said, gazing farther out. Each wave slid softly over the pebbled shore to wrap around their feet. Behind them, strands of jazz played somewhere; the sounds of laughter and conversation in robust Italian tones filtered down from the village. </p> <p> "It's nearly dark," Lauren said. </p> <p> "Yes, it's nearly dark," Graham echoed as he came to Carrie's side. She laughed at his smile, remembering their night in this very place, swimming in streams of moonlight. </p> <p> "And the Benders are expecting us for dinner," Lauren reminded. </p> <p> Carrie sighed, thinking how perfect it'd be to swim in waves turning a deep chrome blue. </p> <p> "Oh, it's the eventide," Carrie said, staring at the light on the horizon, the evidence of the sun's staged bow and exit into the sea. </p> <p> Lauren unwound a string of seaweed from her feet. </p> <p> Standing beside Carrie, Graham stared in silence at the liquid rhythms that met the last stretches of light on the horizon. His fingers wove through hers, and Carrie felt the electric tingles of his touch. She wondered if that sensation would ever subside--how she hoped it never would. </p> <p> "Surely you have a poem or quote for this moment, Lauren," Carrie said. </p> <p> Lauren splashed softly through the water to Carrie's other side. "Well, hmm, as Longfellow wrote, 'The day is done, and the darkness falls from the wings of Night.' I could go on." </p> <p> "Yes, do," Graham said in an interested tone that pleased Carrie. Graham had tried to bridge the rift that had come at Lauren's arrival in Italy a few weeks earlier. </p> <p> "'As a feather is wafted downward from an eagle in his flight.' That's enough," Lauren said firmly, though she smiled at them both. </p> <p> "Lauren does this all the time--remembers the best quotes and says them at just the right moment. I wish I had such a memory." Carrie took Lauren's hand and pulled her closer. Now all three faced the darkening horizon. </p> <p> Carrie knew the discomfort between Lauren and Graham would improve in time. It was her love for both of them that brought them together on this <em>bella noche</em>. </p> <p><em> We each have our secrets. Is that what keeps Graham and Lauren at a distance? Perhaps soon we will give what we carry to one another, our burdens lightened at last. </em></p> <p> "We should get back," Lauren said, then took a step away. "Or, I could go if you guys want . . . you know, some time alone. We only have a few more days left." </p> <p> "Then back to America," Carrie whispered, wondering how to ever leave this perfect summer in Italy. Would it all disappear once the real world returned, become like a dream or a story once told? </p> <p> "I really am American through and through," Lauren said. "And I'm so happy to be traveling home with an escort. The getting here alone nearly did me in." </p> <p> Carrie laughed. "Well, next trip to Europe, you'll have to come for the entire vacation, not leave your best friend to jaunt around while you sit behind an office desk." </p> <p> "Next trip to Europe, eh? Oh, to be back to Coke that tastes like Coke," Lauren said. </p> <p> "Back to hamburgers and fries," Graham added. </p> <p> "Back to jobs, responsibilities, and routines." Carrie frowned and was surprised by the warmth of Graham's kiss on her cheek. </p> <p> "Always my free-spirited Carrie," Graham said softly near her ear. </p> <p> Lauren stepped away. "It's getting dark. I'm going back to the <em>pensioni</em>." </p> <p> Carrie turned to Graham and studied his face in the deepening night. Their eyes spoke of a deep longing and of summer days.

In the midst of a less-than-hopeful battle, Saul rested beneath a tree as Jonathan seized the divine moment that would impact the future of Israel. Through this story McManus artfully illustrates the eight characteristics of an adventurer's heart, what he calls "the Jonathan factor." </p> <p>Using powerful examples from his own life and ministry, along with fresh biblical teaching, McManus asserts that God crafts divine moments specific to each of us-priceless opportunities for us to actively engage in God's plan. By developing the characteristics McManus outlines, Christians can move from mundane to miraculous living.</p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20060110 2006 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

But what we sometimes fail to recognize is that although Jesus Christ offered a message of forgiveness, He also spoke challenging, demanding words about what being a follower of Christ requires.</p> <p>In contrast to the superficiality of much modern Christian teaching, Dr. John MacArthur serves up the unvarnished truth of what Christ taught and lived. In simple, compelling terms, he spells out what is required of those who would follow Him. Going beyond Jesus' life to include the crucifixion and resurrection, MacArthur shows readers that Jesus modeled the commitment and loving obedience He requires of us by making the ultimate sacrifice for humankind.</p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20060110 2006 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

No longer a slave, Denver's life was still hopeless-until God moved. First came a godly woman who prayed, listened, and obeyed. And then came her husband, Ron, an international arts dealer at home in a world of Armani-suited millionaires. And then they all came together. <p> But slavery takes many forms. Deborah discovers that she has cancer. In the face of possible death, she charges her husband to rescue Denver. Who will be saved, and who will be lost? What is the future for these unlikely three? What is God doing? <p> <i>Same Kind of Different As Me</i> is the emotional tale of their story: a telling of pain and laughter, doubt and tears, dug out between the bondages of this earth and the free possibility of heaven.

And as Christians, too often we talk about God's ability to change lives without fully understanding how to access that power. </p> <p>The reason is simple: we ourselves have never been radically transformed. McManus explains how many people unknowingly block God from changing us and teaches readers the "texture of the heart" required to unleash God's transforming power within us. He also demonstrates the passion and purpose that lie ahead when we undertake the journey that leads us to the true source, the very character of God. Fascinating stories from McManus's personal life and ministry, paired with fresh biblical teaching and profound insights, will astonish and challenge readers to break free from negative habits, destructive emotions, and other strongholds that hinder lasting transformation and to turn toward a life marked by enlightenment, nobility, and virtue.</p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20060829 2006 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

Her boots smothered the flames. The match told her the fire had been deliberately set. But why? A flutter of white caught her attention. The wind whipped a paper nailed to the tree. She unfolded it and stared at the writing:  <i>Let the dance begin.</i><br><br>A decade ago, Tess Masterson's parents died in a terrible barn fire. Now she's become one of the best smoke jumpers in the business. Though she makes a living jumping out of planes into roaring wildfires, she's never found the courage to face the wounds of her past--or to deal with the anger that flares whenever she encounters Chase Huston.<br><br>When a serial arsonist known as The Fire Dancer strikes near her old homeplace in Arizona, Tess is forced to examine the past as it relates to the present. How will she confront her own demons while at the same time putting a stop to the terror that has the area in flames?<br> 23 02 <p><strong>Chapter 1 </strong></p> <p> My heart dances with the leaping flames of the campfire. </p> <p>Mom never cared much for poetry, said she had no use for it in what she faced every day, but the cadence of words speaks to me. Kind of stupid when you consider who I am and what I do. There is more to a soul than what others see. </p> <p>The flames mesmerize me. I hold my hands over the flickering light and take a deep breath I close my eyes. We used to roast hot dogs over a fire in our backyard, just me and Mom, in fall when the stars were clear and close and the air was a blade in my throat. </p> <p>The Navajo witch settles beside me. I'm not afraid, even though my breath sounds in my ears. Shrouded by wolf skins, he seems to grow bigger. People have told me there's no such thing as a skinwalker. They are wrong. The hair on the back of my neck rises, almost as if it's saluting the magic of the imposing figure. The heat he radiates is as bewitching as the flames. </p> <p>The witch begins to chant and drops something into the fire. It flares into the black Arizona sky. Color rises deep in the smoke, and I peer closer, longing to grasp the power that thrums around me like an unseen drum. The Navajo witch focuses his dark eyes on me, and I straighten. I <em>am </em>worthy. Suffering produces character, and my suffering is exquisite, like the hottest flame. </p> <p>"You are not ready," the witch says. "I see no pain in your face." </p> <p>His low, guttural voice vibrates with power, a power I <em>will </em>have, no matter what it takes. Can he not see the suffering that screams inside me? Curling my hands into fists, I force my anger back to its cave and peer into the man's unblinking stare. </p> <p>"I'm ready," I say in a steady voice. </p> <p>He shakes his head. "Not yet. Becoming a skinwalker takes much discipline. Many years. It is not a weapon you can grasp in your hand like a bow or a gun." </p> <p>"I know." Power fills me, a sense of destiny no one can steal from me. "I will do whatever it takes." </p> <p>He finally nods. "I will set you a series of tasks to do, but it will take time. One day, your soul will change at your calling." </p> <p>"Tell me what to do." My voice is hoarse as I lean forward. </p> <p>Instead of answering, the witch bends and picks up a firebrand. The red-hot end is in his hand, but he doesn't seem to feel the heat. My respect rises like the smoke ascending above our heads. Someday I will own his power. </p> <p>He holds out the brand. "If you take it, you'll know what to do." </p> <p>He who hesitates is lost, and I'm about to be found. I grasp the flame in my hand. A cry rises in my chest as the pain sears my hand, and I know I am right. Fire is my calling. </p> <p align="center">  </p> <p>"You're not pigged in." Tess Masterson raised her voice above the roar of the DC-3's engines. Cooper Johnston, known as Coop to the rest of the smokejumpers, looked back at her and nodded. He attached the pigtail of his restraining line to the clip, then took a firm grip on the cargo-door handles. As the team's spotter, he took responsibility for making sure they hit the target. </p> <p>"Guard your reserves," Coop said as he opened the door. </p> <p>The jumpers all put a protective hand on their spare chute. The sudden influx of air had been known to inflate a reserve parachute and sweep the hapless jumper out of the plane and to his death when the lines tangled. The rush of mountain air blew through the plane filled with smokejumpers and their gear. Tess peered past Coop. Below her was the jump target, a heavy pine forest atop Horse Mountain on the northern cusp of Hellsgate Wilderness. A wisp of smoke wafted up through the pine treetops. The trees parted around a clearing, and she could see a line of fire crackling toward a cabin. A man on a small tractor was plowing up the meadow in an effort to stop the blaze, an effort that showed he knew something about fighting wildfire. He needed help though, and fast. </p> <p>Tess watched Coop throw out the drift streamers to determine how the air currents were moving. The faint scent of smoke came to her nose, and the odor revved her adrenaline. She shuffled as she checked her lines. It was unusual to have a fire this late in the season, and all the smokejumpers were ready for some R and R. She'd been looking forward to it too, until her sister's call. </p> <p>"Ready to get home?" Buck Carter asked. </p> <p>Tess frowned as she glanced up into her friend's face. A wilderness outfitter in his other life, Buck had been a rock for her during her training and on the subsequent missions they'd flown together. Behind her, the rest of the smokejumpers shuffled as they prepared to jump. Ten smokejumpers, a tightly-knit cadre of firefighters--all men with the exception of Tess and Allie Stinson--who had become a family to her. </p> <p>"I still don't know what she wants," Tess said. </p> <p>"You have to go," Buck told her. </p> <p>He always did that, read her mind before she said a word. She often wondered why there were no romantic feelings between the two of them when they were so attuned. </p> <p>"Want to place odds that she'll think of an excuse to back out?" Flint Montgomery said to Buck. </p> <p>Buck's wolf dog, Spirit, sat at his feet. Tess rubbed the dog's head, and Spirit practically groveled. Intelligence shimmered in his yellow eyes. Flint and Tess were two of the few full-time Forest Service employees on the team. The rest worked at other jobs when their seasonal firefighting gigs were over. Some were with the Forest Service and others were employed by the Bureau of Land Management. Raised by his Apache mother when his cowboy father died, Flint was the quiet one of the group. </p> <p>Buck grinned and nodded toward the door. "You're in the first stick out, second jumper," he said to Tess. "There's time to decide on the visit later. Let's go." </p> <p>The firefighters jumped in twos, referred to as "sticks." Tess forced her tight facial muscles into what she hoped was a cheeky grin. She pulled on her helmet, snapped the chin strap, and pulled down the wire-mesh mask. Tugging on her Nomex gloves, she followed Allie to the open doorway. Her vision filled with the glory of the landscape's panorama. She could see the world moving by below in a kaleidoscope of umber earth and the vivid green pine tops. She prayed she would acquit herself respectably today. The other sticks lined up behind them. Five sticks in all, ten jumpers, and she had the luck to be in the first group out the door today. As one of only twenty-seven women among the more than four hundred smokejumpers in the country, the responsibility always rode heavy on her shoulders. </p> <p>"Stay out of the water," Coop admonished. "We haven't had any drownings this year, and I'm not about to start now." </p> <p>"Yes, Mom," Tess said, rolling her eyes at Allie. </p> <p>About forty, Coop usually kept his golden mane of hair corralled in a band, and the crags and planes of his face added to his lionlike appearance. The tough, sinewy muscles under his bronzed skin were hard and taut. He pointed at the streamers. "Looks like there's about two hundred yards of drift." </p> <p>Tess nodded and lowered herself to the floor, dangling her feet into the slipstream. The heat from the fire warmed her face. </p> <p>"We missed the best exit point," Coop shouted at the pilot. "Circle around for another pass." </p> <p>The plane banked and began to turn back. They had a few more minutes, but Tess stayed put. Allie joined her, irked at the delay. </p> <p>"Sorry about mixing up our chutes today. Distracted, you know. I'll straighten it out on the ground." </p> <p>"It's okay. You've been preoccupied." </p> <p>"You got that right. I should have quit a long time ago." </p> <p>"No!" Tess gripped her friend's hand. "You're the best jumper in the country. Think of all the lives you've saved!" </p> <p>"And all but ruined my own." Allie pulled her hand away. "I gave up too much for this." </p> <p>"Daryl won't be angry at you forever," Tess said, reading between the lines. "You'll be with him in time for dinner." </p> <p>"I should have been with him yesterday. His mom <em>died</em> this morning, Tess. What am I doing here? I can't believe I let you talk me into one more jump." </p> <p>Tess gave her a playful punch in the arm. "You'll get over it." </p> <p>"Easy for you to say." </p> <p>"Ready?" Coop shouted over the roar of the wind. </p> <p>The women nodded. Coop slapped Allie on the back. From the corner of her eye past the wire cage of her helmet, Tess saw Allie lean forward and tumble from the plane. Coop slapped Tess hard on the shoulder. She propelled herself forward with all her strength. </p> <p>As the roar of the wind rushed past her ears, she began to chant off the count. "Jump-thousand." The world and the sky blurred together as she tumbled through the air. At ninety miles an hour, the air rushed past her in a howl that blotted out other sound. It was like riding bareback on the fastest horse in the world. </p> <p>"Look-thousand." She glanced back to see Flint tumble from the plane. "Reach-thousand." Her hand reached for the green rip cord. "Wait-thousand." Even though she'd jumped hundreds of times, she always had to resist the impulse to pull the cord now. </p> <p>She glanced to her left. Allie still hadn't pulled her rip cord. Was something wrong? Tess's hand dropped away from her chute handle. She angled her body into a downward torpedo and dove toward Allie. The shriek of the wind intensified. Allie's arms and legs were splayed, slowing her descent. She kept jerking on the chute handle. She looked up, her mouth open in a scream Tess couldn't hear. </p> <p>Tess hugged all appendages as close to the trunk of her body as she could. Just a little closer and maybe she could grab hold of Allie. She zipped past Allie, then stretched out her hands to slow herself. Allie's hand brushed hers, and their fingers caught. Moments later, Allie was hugging her. </p> <p>"Pull!" Allie yelled. </p> <p>Tess pulled hard and her hand snapped back to her side with the handle in it. She felt herself tip forward, and a tugging sensation rippled across her shoulders. The drogue was out and struggling to open. Air filled her chute, and the resulting jerk lifted her and Allie. She looked up at the gleaming rectangle of orange and white. Silence settled as the rushing air slowed to a gentle glide. Riding on the wind, she had a bird's-eye view of the fire below. </p> <p>"Thanks. I owe you." Allie's voice trembled. "Who would want to kill you?" </p> <p>"What do you mean?" </p> <p>"This was your chute. I saw him-" </p> <p>The wind shifted and drove them toward the trees. "Look out!" They were coming down too fast. Tess tugged harder on the steering toggles. They hurtled down toward trees that reached high into the air. </p> <p>"Pull right, pull right!" Allie screamed. </p> <p>The gusts of wind were stronger than Tess and drove them closer to the stand of tall ponderosa pine that stretched upwards of a hundred and fifty feet. She managed to twist in the wind but was unable to resist the current. Tree branches rushed to meet them. They landed hard in the top of a ponderosa, and the impact knocked loose her grip on Allie. Allie slid away. </p> <p>The chute billowed around Tess. Fighting the yards of fabric, she got the canopy out of her eyes and looked around. Her lines were entangled nearly a hundred feet off the ground. Her gaze scanned the treetops, and she caught a glimpse of white. Branches had snagged Allie's pack, and the young woman dangled above the ground. She was fighting with her harness, but the movement threatened the tree's tenuous grasp on her gear. </p> <p>Tess heard Allie scream as she slid about two feet. "Tie off, tie off!" she shouted. </p> <p>Allie's white face peered out of the foliage up at Tess as she reached for her letdown rope. </p> <p>"Wait!" Tess shouted. She ripped off her Nomex gloves and tossed them to the ground far below. Trying to still the shaking in her hands, she managed to tie off her own lines. "I'm coming." By now several of the other smokejumpers had gathered at the base of the tree. Tess took out her climbing gear. </p> <p>"I can't wait. It won't hold that long," Allie called. She sounded calm. </p> <p>"Tie off," Flint called up. "It's not stable." </p> <p>Allie was attempting to rappel down with her chute, which was what Tess would do, though that shortcut was a no-no. Standard procedure was to tie off to the tree for stability, shrug out of the pack, and then rappel down, but none of them liked to do it because they'd have to climb back up to retrieve the chute. </p> <p>Allie reached into the pocket on the outside of her right leg. She took out about six feet of rope and passed it through the D-rings at the waist of her pants. </p> <p>Was Allie's pack slipping? The straps seemed to be sliding in tiny degrees, though it was hard to tell through the swaying pine branches. Tess attached her climbing gear to a solid tree limb. She disengaged from her chute and left it behind as she began to rappel down. Pine branches slapped at her face and clutched at her clothes with sticky fingers. Her shoes were about ten feet from Allie's head. </p> <p>Tess heard a ripping noise. Her horrified gaze shot to the lines just in time to see the tree release Allie's pack. Allie screamed, flailing. One hand grazed a branch, and she managed to latch onto it. She hung there with her other hand grasping toward the limb but unable to reach it. "Help me, Tess!" Her gaze met Tess's through the foliage. </p> <p>Tess looped her legs around the branch and dangled upside down. Her hand grazed the top of Allie's head. Should she grab Allie's hand that was on the branch? She could touch that one. But what if she loosened Allie's grip on the tree and couldn't hold her? It would be better to try to catch her free hand. "Grab my hand!" </p> <p>Perspiration dotted Allie's forehead. She made a wild swing at Tess's hand but only managed to graze her fingers. "I can't reach you. Come closer." </p> <p>"There's no branch strong enough to hold us both." Tess loosened her knees and managed to gain an inch or so. "Try again." </p> <p>Allie nodded, her face white as she stared into Tess's eyes. She whipped her arm up and grabbed at Tess's hand. The movement caused her grip to weaken, and her fingers fell away from Tess's hand. </p> <p>Allie's hand slipped off the branch. Her eyes widened, and in their depths, Tess read resignation. "No!" she screamed. "Allie!" </p> <p>But Allie was gone. She disappeared through the branches, toes pointed to the earth. The sound of snapping branches followed her descent. She hurtled through the air in the space of a heartbeat, her pack following like a bullet. The thud when she hit the ground was mingled with the sickening sound of breaking bones. </p> <p>Tess sagged on the branch. She was tempted to let go, to follow her friend down. This was her fault. </p> <p>"She's alive!" Flint's voice reached up through the branches. </p> <p><em>Alive?</em> Tess tightened her knees on the limb, then grabbed it with her hand. She managed to get upright. Rappelling down the tree, she feared what she would find at the bottom. Allie might have survived the fall, but at what cost to her future? </p> <p>Buck reached up and lifted her down when she was five feet from the ground. Tess shook off his help and knelt by Allie. Her face was scratched by the branches, and one leg lay at an odd angle with the jagged ends of a bone sticking out through the material. "Call a chopper!" </p> <p>"I already did." Flint dragged his EMT bag closer to Allie. </p> <p>Tess moved out of the way. Flint's hands were gentle and assured as he pulled a cervical collar from his pack and slipped it around Allie's neck. "Will she live?" she asked. <em>Please God, let her be okay.</em></p> <p>Flint didn't look up. "I don't know, Tess. Pray." </p> <p>"I am." </p> <p>"We've still got a job to do," Coop said, his voice heavy. "There's nothing you can do for Allie, Tess." </p> <p>"I talked her into one last jump," Tess said. "I'm going back with her." </p> <p>Coop stared at her, then nodded. "Okay." </p> <p>Tess barely noticed him herd the other firefighters off through the brush in the direction of the flames. She managed to hold her tears until she delivered Allie to the hospital, where the doctors rushed her into surgery and told Tess to go home for now. </p> <p>Tess returned to her barracks. Spirit had come back with the plane, and he met her at the entrance. He followed her inside, then nosed at her hand. Taking comfort from his coarse fur, she rubbed his ears. His golden eyes seemed to reflect her own distress. </p> <p>Each of them lived with the possibility of death every day, but when an accident came it was always a shock. Her eyes burned, and her throat felt thick. Allie had looked right into Tess's eyes as she fell. Did she blame Tess? She should. </p> <p>Allie had been the only one to share the women's barracks with her, and her friend's things were piled around the next bunk. Tess went to Allie's bed. She picked up the koala bear on the neatly made bunk. The bear had one eye missing, and the fur was matted and tattered. It had been given to Allie when she was five, and she still took it with her everywhere. Maybe it would bring her comfort when she got out of surgery. <em>If </em>she got out of surgery. </p> <p>Tess curled up on the bed with the bear in her arms and closed her eyes. She doubted if she could sleep, but it was dark when a tap on the door awakened her. </p> <p>"Come in," Tess called. She sat up and put down the bear. </p> <p>Coop stuck his head in the door. "You okay?" </p> <p>The scent of smoke drifted in with him. "I'm fine." Tess blinked rapidly and got control of her emotions. "I didn't hear the choppers come back. Are we heading out again?" </p> <p>"No, the fire's under control. You just slept through the choppers. I hope this fire is the last of the season. I just wanted to check on you and give you your fall assignment." </p> <p>"I thought I was going to the Casa Grande station." Tess had been looking forward to the thought of throwing herself into something interesting like the cataloging of the pueblo artifacts. </p> <p>Coop shook his head. "We're keeping you here to help repair equipment. I heard your sister needs you at home, and you're close enough to stay at the ranch if you like." </p> <p>She didn't like. In fact, staying at the ranch was the last thing in the world she intended to do. In the last three firefighting seasons, she'd managed to make sure she was assigned to camps on the other side of the state. "I see." She could guess where Coop heard the gossip. Blabbermouth Buck. He'd been after her to make peace with her past. "I don't know that she needs me at home. She just asked me to come see her. I'm only staying the weekend." </p> <p>A long pause followed. "You're welcome," Coop said finally. "I can see you're thankful I pulled strings. I thought you'd like to stay at the fire camp. You generally love working on equipment." </p> <p>"Sorry. I'm sure I'll enjoy the work. All winter?" </p> <p>He nodded. "We've got lots of parachutes to repair as well as routine maintenance and some fairly major repair on the buildings. You won't be bored." </p> <p>His mention of parachutes brought back the last moments in the air with Allie. "What happened to her parachute? It was actually mine. And she said something strange, something about someone trying to kill me." </p> <p>Coop's eyebrows arched. "Maybe she was joking. We haven't looked at the chute yet. I'll try to examine it tomorrow." </p> <p>"Seemed a poor time for a joke. Allie had just survived death." </p> <p>"You know as well as I do that Allie has a warped sense of humor." Coop hesitated and glanced at Allie's bed. "Her parents are on their way from Phoenix." </p> <p>"Any word from the hospital?" Coop dropped his gaze, and her heart sank. "What is it?" she whispered. </p> <p>"She's out of surgery, but . . . " </p> <p>"She's not going to make it?" </p> <p>"They think she'll live." He reached down and scratched Spirit on the head. </p> <p>"Look at me, Coop. What's wrong with her?" </p> <p>He raised his gaze then. "May be brain damage. They won't know until she wakes up." </p> <p>  </p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20061010 2006 06 02 1595543309 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

Instead of feeling sorry for himself, he snapped into practical mode. First, he sold his boat and his big house. Then, he systematically began exploring business opportunities and setting goals for the next several decades of his life. When he started his first restaurant, he knew he had yet another chance to apply the principles he learned on the football field in real life. "Coach Bryant said there's a lot of blood, sweat and guts between dreams and success," Baumhower said. "That's true in the restaurant business. . . . Today, every success I have, every win that I have, in my opinion, came from the fact that Coach Bryant cared enough to talk to me and turn the light on for me</p></blockquote> Includes stories for such men as Bob Baumhower Jeremiah Castille Paul Crane Sylvester Croom John Hannah Dennis Homan Scott Hunter Lee Roy Jordan E.

I'm not a baby." Eleven-year-old Caden flipped her mom a look, then stared out the passenger window. </p> <p>"I like watching you." Sam pulled the Ciera into the parking lot of the Boston Academy of Gymnastics and was about to expound on the thought, but Caden interrupted. </p> <p>"The other moms don't stay." </p> <p>It wasn't true, but Sam had a feeling this objection had less to do with Caden's assertion of independence and more to do with her. </p> <p>"Did Bridget tell everyone about me?" Sam asked. </p> <p>Caden crossed her arms, her warm-up suit rustling. </p> <p>"If I didn't clean the gym, we wouldn't be able to afford lessons, Caden." </p> <p>Though her daughter frowned, her jaw and shoulders rigid, Sam knew the stubborn front concealed a wounded little girl. Knew it because Caden was so much like her. </p> <p>"They all know now. Bridget has such a big mouth. She thinks she's so hot just because her mom owns the gym." </p> <p>Sam turned off the ignition and withdrew the keys, then glanced at Caden, who made no move to leave. The clock on the dashboard read 7:02. "Honey, let's finish this later. You're late for class." </p> <p>"So you're staying?" </p> <p>Sam's parental pride shrank two more sizes. "By the time I got home, I'd just have to turn around and come back. I promise to sit in the back and keep my hood up to conceal my identity." Sam regretted the sarcasm instantly. </p> <p>Caden discharged her seat belt, and it sprang upward, clanging against the door frame. "Whatever," she said, then exited the car, not quite slamming the door. </p> <p>Sam grabbed the day's mail from the dashboard and tucked it in her purse. As she entered the gym, the familiar odor of sweaty little gymnasts assaulted her nostrils. She walked past the office and up the stairs to the balcony, where she found a seat in the back row. She smiled at a woman seated there, the mom of one of Caden's classmates. From her pantsuit and trendy heels, Sam guessed she didn't scrub bathrooms for a living or work a side job to afford her daughter's lessons. </p> <p>On the floor below, a maze of mats and apparatus were spread across the blue carpet. Caden's class stretched, their legs straddled, leaning forward until their bellies touched the ground. Her daughter lay there, head resting against the carpet. The girl next to Caden whispered something to another girl and they laughed. Sam assumed the worst, and she wanted to give the girl's ear a swift tug. </p> <p>Instead, she settled back into the chair and pulled the mail from her bag. Electric bill. Bank statement. Credit card bill. She'd open that one last. No sense ruining a perfectly good day. The last piece was addressed to her with a black pen. In the upper left-hand corner was a sticker with Miss Biddle's name and address. </p> <p>Strange. Beyond the annual Christmas card, she rarely heard from Miss Biddle. And even when she did, she almost didn't want to open the envelope--as if doing so would open a door from her past she'd rather leave closed. </p> <p>Curious, she turned the letter over and slid her finger under the flap. She withdrew a piece of notebook paper neatly creased in thirds. She unfolded the note. </p> <blockquote> <p>Dear Samantha, </p> <p> I hope this letter finds you well. I would have preferred to call, but the number you're listed as having is disconnected. I'm afraid I have some bad news. </p> <p> Just yesterday your stepfather had a heart attack at work. They tried to take him to the hospital, but he passed away in the ambulance and they were unable to resuscitate him. I know there was no love lost between the two of you, but still I hated to tell you this way. </p> </blockquote> <p>A strange feeling swept over Sam like an unexpected wind on a still night. There was no sadness or grief, but rather an unexplained dread. </p> <blockquote> <p>I contacted Judge Winslow (from the probate court), who will be handling Emmett's estate, and I learned Emmett had no will. Since you are his adopted child, and the only living relative, his cottage and belongings will pass to you. You might contact Judge Winslow down at the Town and County building. I'm sure they'll send you notification soon, but I thought it might be better to hear the news from me. </p> </blockquote> <p>Sam stared at the letter, but the words blurred as her thoughts scrambled. Excitement overtook the dread. The cottage sat on the valuable Nantucket shore and was worth a fortune. It was small and old, but even the smallest shanty on the island neared a million dollars. </p> <p>The thought of what she and Caden could do with that kind of money stirred something she hadn't felt in a long time. </p> <p>Hope. </p> <p>She finished the letter, skimming over the funeral information. </p> <p>A million dollars. She could pay off her credit cards, get out of their crummy apartment, buy Caden some decent clothes, pay for gymnastic lessons. Heck, she could send Caden to a private school if she wanted. And college. Caden could become anything she wanted to be. </p> <p>Even Sam could go to college. It was a thought she hadn't allowed since she got pregnant with Caden. Even now, she tamped down the thought, too afraid to hope in case this was all a dream. </p> <p>But the flimsy white paper in her hands was real enough. Emmett's name scrawled in black sobered her. Memories raced through her mind at the speed of light, none of them good. The feeling of being trapped, overpowered, and abandoned all at the same time made her squirm in her chair as if to make sure she wasn't restrained. </p> <p>The realization that she would have to go back there stole her breath and jarred her mind to a sudden halt. The house would have to be cleaned out. Furniture and personal belongings would have to be sorted through. The cottage would need to be readied for sale. The flower beds, if they still existed, would need tending. </p> <p>How long would it take, and would Patty let her off work that long? Sam hadn't had a vacation or sick day in--well, she couldn't even remember. They'd just lost an office building to Murphy's Maids the week before, so the schedule was lighter, and Gina had been asking for extra hours. </p> <p>Still, the thought of going back to the island made Sam's soul shrivel like a sun-scorched bloom. There was a reason she hadn't gone back. A reason she'd left in the first place, and nothing had changed. </p> <p>Except that going back was now worth a million dollars. </p> <p>Sam lifted her eyes from the letter and found Caden's class across the gym at the foam pit. Caden sprang forward into a round-off and two back handsprings, then finished with a backflip into the foam squares. The spotter never touched her. It was her first unassisted backflip. When she came out of the pit, she looked toward the balcony to see if Sam had caught the moment. Before she could give her daughter a thumbs-up, Caden looked away. When she walked by Bridget and her new cronies, they turned, an obvious snub. </p> <p>Sam wanted to thump them all. They were doing it because of her, and the guilt that descended on her was as heavy as a lead blanket. </p> <p>Could a million dollars buy her and Caden a new life? Sam was suddenly sure it could. And she was equally sure she could face any demon from her past for the chance to make it happen. </p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20071106 2007 06 02 1595545131 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

Inspired by her Auntie Leona, Essie Mae finally discovers her calling in life and weaves powerful "love baskets," praying fervently over them to affect the lives of those who visit her roadside stand. When she's faced with losing her home and her stand and being put in a nursing home, Daddy Jim talks her into coming on up to Heaven to meet sweet Jesus-something she's always wanted to do. Once there, she reunites with Gullahs and African ancestors; but soon, her heavenly peace is disrupted, for she still has work to do. Now Essie Mae, who once felt powerless and invisible, must find the strength within her to keep her South Carolina family from falling apart.

In <i>A Life Well Lived</i>, Charles Swindoll provides a poignant and inspirational message from the book of Micah that frees Christians from unscriptural notions of failure and shows them the rewards of an obedient heart.</p> <p>Rather than focusing on the "Checklist Christianity" that misses God's message of redemption, Swindoll encourages us to embrace the fullness of our Creator's love. Leave the shackles of second-guessing forever behind and embrace God's grace with <i>A Life Well Lived</i>.</p> <p><i>"What honors the Lord is a heart that beats in the same rhythm as His, a spirit that values the same qualities that define Him. He wants people who do what is right, who love kindness, and who walk humbly with Him. Do as he says, and you will not only honor the Lord you love, you will live life well."</i></p> <p> </p> 23 02 <p>As I reflect on the familiar words of Charles Dickens, I recall one of the best and worst times of my life. July 1, 1994, began a period that I can best describe as a long, cold winter--a stark, lonely season during which I found myself without all the things that gave me comfort, purpose, meaning, and identity. It helped a little that I entered this season willingly. It was a necessary transition from a very successful, almost twenty-three years in Fullerton, California, to an uncertain future in Dallas, Texas. I never doubted that I was where the Lord would have me and I knew it would be difficult, but I never imagined just how much it would challenge my character and stretch my faith. I felt more than lonely. I felt alone. </p> <p>I was living in a small apartment over a friend's garage while pouring myself into my new duties as president of Dallas Theological Seminary, the institution that had launched me into ministry thirty-one years earlier. The world of academic theology, while strange to me, was stimulating. Those with whom I worked could not have been more gracious and kind . . . but nothing was familiar. It would be another two years before we could move the headquarters of Insight for Living from California to Texas, so Cynthia had to divide her time between Anaheim and Dallas. That left me with a lot of solitude, something I typically enjoy. But this was far more than I had anticipated or wanted. I was separated from all of my children and grandchildren for the first time since they were born. The deep friendships I had cultivated for twenty-three years were fifteen hundred miles away. The home we had lived in and enjoyed belonged to someone else, and the ministry that had given me such joy and fulfillment was now only a memory. Moreover, I was a shepherd without sheep. That loss kept me on my face before God. </p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20071002 2007 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

Square objects don't abide with the rolled and worn shapes of the sea, so I know it is something made by human hands. A small metal box, perhaps, or a piece of wood with something reflective attached. </p> <p> As I study the water and rocks for the best way to retrieve the find, a sudden dreamlike feeling encompasses me. There are plenty of dreams I have wished would come true, or, more often, have desired the real-life experience instead of the dream. Perhaps this is why I am drawn to put words upon the </p> <p> page, to attempt to capture those moments I cannot have in reality--moments of elation or love or reconciliation. </p> <p> This should be such a moment, with background music, maybe the sound track to <em> Casablanca</em><em> . </em> The scent of the sea and the touch of wind upon my face give me a look of eternity and, dare I dream, of beauty, even at my age. Perhaps I'm overly dramatic, but it isn't often that I find a true treasure along my sea walk. </p> <p> I pause before plunging my hand into the water. My, how cold it is, and the tidal pool is deeper than it appeared. A woman of my age must be careful along these wet rocks; I'm not the youngster I once was, and some days it feels as if I've always been old. That icy salt water chills my fingers to the bone all the way up my pushed-up sleeve. The surge in and out of waves soaks my walking boots. Just as I consider pulling away, my fingers touch that reflected something in a tangle among the seaweed and rock. A spider starfish observes my quest from a few inches away. The wind whispers in my hair, but no movie music fills the spaces. </p> <p> The treasure--for all beach litter is a treasure, even the old boot I found decades ago, which now serves as a geranium planter--is nearly more sea than civilization. Turning it over, I see it's some kind of book with a metal cover plate that is tarnished and dented. The lock has rusted shut. </p> <p> My walking stick back in my right hand and the ocean's treasure burning a hole in the pocket of my raincoat, I shorten my usual route and high-step it toward the cottage. </p> <p> It takes some time to clean the cover of seaweed and the sludge of the deep. Rubbing my hands together, I feel as if I've found the Holy Grail. I take a steak knife and try several times to break the lock before it opens with a click. Barely lifting the cover, I see pages glued together in a solid soaked mess, and I fear they'll disintegrate at a touch. It's a miracle paper could survive in all that salt, but recalling images from other shipwrecks, I know it's possible. </p> <p> It's surely from the <em> Josephine</em> . The wreck of that ship on a stormy night in 1905 made Orion Point a historic landmark. </p> <p> What was this book's journey before the wreck that plunged it to the bottom of the sea? Whose hands once turned the pages? Were any creatures from the deep inspired by the message inside? That's my foolish thinking, yet I savor such fanciful thoughts. </p> <p> For over fifty years I've kept myself here on Orion Point. Sometimes people venture through the woods to see if the once-somewhat-famous author is still around. Mostly they leave me be. My once-wide world has shrunk to these eighty pine-covered acres of West Coast woodland with one dog and one neighbor as companions. </p> <p> But after this discovery, Orion Point may never be the same. I must think and pray. It feels as if life-changing capacities are held within this book I found. I know it's God's nudge that I've tried to ignore for a while now. He's opened a door. </p> <p> I've seen many seasons cycle around me during my seventy-odd years, changing me as they've gone. This feels like the first cold breezes of a monumental storm. Maybe it's all my imagination. </p> <p> Somehow I think--and fear--it's not imagination, but truth. </p> <p>----------------------------------------- </p> <p>My old dog yawns at my feet as we warm ourselves beside the fire. An artifact should be sent to a museum or an archaeological society for examination. A team of scientists has been diving and probing the ocean floor for the past week at the shipwreck site; surely they'd want this relic of the sea. It may have been their probing that brought it to me. </p> <p> I know these things, but tonight as the book sits in a strainer on my kitchen counter, and I sit beside the fire warming the chill from my old bones, I cannot help but want to keep it. Somewhere I have a very old newspaper article my mother kept, telling of objects found from the wrecked <em> Josephine.</em></p> <p> Clipping such stories was a hobby of hers--as I now think back, it was more of an obsession. As a young girl living in the new stone house on the Point, she'd been here that night of howling wind and fierce water. She met the storm, carrying a kerosene lantern behind her parents as they brought blankets and searched for survivors. In her older age, she recalled the slow dawn that revealed the choppy waves filled with debris and the pale twisted bodies washed ashore. </p> <p>The stories from childhood return to me now, stories of the ship's demise off the rocky shore that became my play yard. With thoughts of adventure and danger, I replayed my own fictive illusions of what happened. </p> <p> As I rock in this old chair, I can nearly touch those days gone by. I can hear Phillip and Helen shouting out a welcome, coming to the Point to play. We'd inevitably find our way to the rocky piece of shoreline within view of where the schooner floundered. </p> <p> "Let's get Ben," Phillip said so often, standing atop a rock where the crisp wind tickled his cheeks, and his brown hair fluttered up as if to sweep him away. I first loved him in those days, seeing the essence of life that filled him and overflowed upon us all. People were always taken by Phillip, from childhood until his death. There was something of the eternal in him, I believe, something that reminded one of things beyond the moment. It drew people to him. But few felt it as strongly as we did--his sister, Helen; Ben; and I. </p> <p> "Let's save Ben from his father," Phillip would say. </p> <p> Our feet would rush along the path to the lighthouse. Ben would have too many chores, his stern father staring at us as if we were intruders from an invading land. Within an hour we'd pick the nets clean, rake the stalls, stack the firewood, and polish the glass on the lighthouse tower until it gleamed in the sunlight--dismissing every excuse he could think of to keep Ben from frolicking. The chores completed, we'd head for the forested trails beyond view of the lighthouse. Ben would be ours. </p> <p> "Let's be pirates fighting upon the rocks while the <em> Josephine </em> is sinking," Phillip shouted, more to the sea than to us. Ben needed a few minutes to shed the coat of his father's tyranny. Then suddenly he'd raise a piece of driftwood like a sword, saying, "We'll kidnap the girls and take them to the South Seas." </p> <p> "No, you won't." Helen's hands fisted on her hips. "Girls can be pirates too." </p> <p> Their voices remain with me tonight. I wonder if Ben remembers them while he sits before his fire in that same lighthouse, just a quarter of a mile away. Does he remember our losses and long for the days of youth? How have so many years passed us by? Every year amazes me more, and yet the feeling of a journey's end rises as an eventual destination through the fog of future. </p> <p> An emblem from the <em> Josephine </em> came to me today as if delivered from the past. I've picked it up a dozen times, imagining what words could be written inside. What if it belonged to that woman, the one the ship was named after, the one my mother recalled when they found her barely alive that frigid morning? </p> <p> When Ben comes by, I'll show him the book. Speculating on what is hidden within its pages reminds me of the days of yesterday, but these memories comfort me without inflicting the usual pain. Such comfort feels good to these old bones. Surely the scientists searching the wreckage would like to see it. </p> <p> But for now, it is mine.</p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20070213 2007 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

For many, it is simply a break from the busyness of the work week. So, what keeps us from properly understanding, sanctifying and celebrating this important day? Allender looks at not only the history of this discipline, going all the way back to ancient Israel, but also at the modern manifestations and misunderstandings of its practice. <p>Allender bases his premise on the Hebrew word for rest, <i>Menuha</i>, which is best translated as joyous repose, tranquility, or delight.

By order of King Louis XIV, all French Protestants must immediately convert or face imprisonment--or death. The king's dragoons ferret out the nonconformists, pillaging villages and destroying homesteads.</p> <p>When the king's soldiers descend on the Clavell estate, the family's fate hangs in the balance. Quickly, quietly, they send their two sons into hiding, trusting that the young age of their daughter will guarantee her protection. But the dragoons will not be dissuaded; they hold the manor hostage looking for clues of their guilt or innocence. However, Madeleine Clavell, the lady of the manor, holds a secret--one possible chance to save the family. She and the king share a past.</p> <p>Once a beautiful young lady in the French court whom Louis loved, Madeleine travels to Versailles to plead for mercy from the fickle king, hoping to regain his favor and save her family. It's a gamble, but she is left with no other choice. Madeleine soon faces an agonizing decision--one that changes her family forever.</p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20081014 2008 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

Robin McGraw, wife of television talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw, receives thousands of emails from women asking her what she does to look and feel so vibrant, energetic and healthy at the age of 55. It all started back in Robin's twenties and thirties when pivotal moments in her life made her realize that if she did not put her health and well-being first, no one else would. One such moment came in her early thirties when Robin experienced the sudden death of her mother, a wonderful woman who put the needs of her family above her own and, as a result, didn't know that her health was ailing. This tragedy made Robin realize that in order to be the best wife, mother and woman possible, she had to take care of herself as if her life depended on it. </p> <p>In <i>What's Age Got To Do With It, </i>Robin urges you to do the same and shows you that it's not selfish to take care of yourself. Robin says, "I wrote this book, not only to answer questions about what I do to stay healthy and in shape, but to remind women that it's time to move yourself to the <i>top</i> of your list of priorities. If you can't do it for you, then do it for your family.  Because my precious mother never did that, she missed out on so many wonderful years and experiences. I realized that it doesn't make you a better wife or parent if you're sacrificing everything -including your health, soul and spirit -for your family.  I refuse to perpetuate that legacy and I want you to join me and get excited about living your life in a passionate, happy and healthy way. It's never too early to start taking care of yourself, but it's also never, ever too late."</p> <p> </p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20081230 2008 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

One righteous man suffering so many calamities, so much heartache. Though many have heard about Job and his trials, not all people truly understand what those trials were about and what God was trying to accomplish through them. Job himself was confused about it all. <i>What did I do to deserve such suffering?</i> he cried out. </p> <p>Eventually, though, through tough questions and unexpected answers from God, Job gained new insights on suffering, patience, and endurance. And, more important, he learned how deeply he was loved by God, a lesson available for every Christian wounded by or in the midst of a trial.</p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20090630 2009 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

But American governments legally suspended the free will of blacks for 150 years, and then denied blacks equal protection of the law for another 150 years. How did this happen in America, how were the Constitution and laws of the land twisted so as to institutionalize racism, and how did it or will it end? In a refreshingly candid book, <i>Dred Scott's Revenge: A Legal History of Race and Freedom In America</i>, Judge Andrew P. Napolitano takes a no-holds-barred look at the role of the government in the denial of freedoms based on race.</p> Thomas Nelson Thomas Nelson 20090414 2009 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

Muchas veces a las esposas se les ha delegado el complejo deber de balancear, manejar y pagar las cuentas. La falta de comunicacion en las finanzas tambien se refleja en la comunicacion del matrimonio. Muchas veces las familias que por fuera parecen tenerlo todo bajo control, por dentro estan completamente en bancarrota. </p> <p>Gustavo Cerbasi ayuda a guiar a las parejas, combinando tanto la teoria como los ejercicios practicos, mientras comunican, planifican y funcionan financieramente como una unidad familiar.</p> Grupo Nelson Grupo Nelson 20090203 2009 Thomas Nelson, Inc.
