Book excerpt: In His parables, Jesus referred to the Gospel as seed and, in so doing, sought to present features of this good news and the manner in which it needed to be received. The seedbed, of course, is the human heart. People need to hear the message of the Christ and embrace it by faith and, in so doing, allow it to grow within their soul, letting it become an informing influence in their lives. Yet this seedbed already has vegetation growing within it. From infancy, we're taught how to get along in this world in which we live, how to understand our surroundings, how to avoid harm, how to make our way into adulthood and benefit from our various activities.Our existence is defined through our interaction with other people; our families and our communities teach us how to understand the world around us. We learn what is considered good and what is considered bad. In complex societies, basic values may be contested, but even in this complexity, there are certain fundamental beliefs that are embraced by most members of a particular society.All these features pertaining to our surroundings are referred to as culture. The culture works to define us, and all who are part of our culture are defined in similar ways. When the Gospel is presented within any culture, it may share some common elements within that seedbed, but it will also invariably conflict with that culture because at its core, it is unique. And its uniqueness will work to challenge the people within that culture to choose the Gospel over what they have absorbed from their surroundings.The focus of this discussion is to consider how the good news, the Gospel, is understood and embraced in American culture today, in the twenty-first century, and to investigate how it may be being distorted or its power diminished by some of the ideas that are prevalent in today's society.Cover Design by Rebekah Jenkins

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The kingdom of God is the called out people of God (Col. 1:1314) from the world of darkness as the spiritual family of Christ. The kingdom of God is bound up in the age of grace and truth and is the fulfillment of Gods promise to Abraham to bless all nations of people. The kingdom of God in prophecy started during the Roman rule (Dan. 2:44) with the Jews at Pentecost in Jerusalem (ca. 33 AD) and then to the Gentile world to include our present age. Jesus reigns as Lord and Christ over His church / the kingdom of God in the twenty-first century and continues to call people of every nation to walk with Him by faith, repentance, and baptism in His name until the consummation of all things and His second return. The Christian Age is the eschatology (Last Day events) of Jesuss reign under the leadership of the Holy Spirit through the preached Word. The salvation of the Gentile nations is the final work of God to restore what was lost in heaven through Satan and his angels (Rev. 12:710). When Jesus appears, his reign ends, and the spiritual family and the church of Christ / kingdom of God will go home.

This book was released on 2018-07-25 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this insightful book, Philip Mauro offers commentary to demonstrate how Jesus, and the Kingdom of God is alive and vibrant all around us. In this thorough refutation of the dispensation movement, Mauro demonstrates how the dispensationalist traditions of the past are simply untrue. He examines each of the seven principles, and sets them against the words of the Holy Scripture, demonstrating how each is inconsistent with what is taught in the Bible. Mauro doggedly cites the Bible throughout this text, explaining the deeper passages with the clarity only a gifted and studied preacher acquires. His firm belief is that the truest Christianity - whereby believers gain closeness of God and His Kingdom - is not to be found in the tenets of dispensationalism, but the original Holy Bible. Although composed in the 1920s, Mauro's book shines with clarity and retains its relevance to this day.

Book excerpt: Why does the allegiance that radical terrorists give to their false cause exceed the allegiance that most Christians today give to Jesus Christ? In Insurgence, bestselling author Frank Viola presents a radical proposal for Christians. Namely, that we have lost the explosive, earthshaking gospel of the kingdom that Jesus, Paul, and the other apostles preached. Viola argues that we've lost this dynamic, titanic, living gospel and exchanged it for a gospel of religious duty or permissiveness and "easy believism." In today's politically charged era, Christians on the progressive left as well as the conservative right both equate their particular viewpoints with the kingdom of God. Viola challenges and dismantles these perspectives, offering a fresh and revolutionary look at the gospel of the kingdom. Viola writes with gripping power, challenging Christians to embrace an unparalleled allegiance to Jesus Christ and his kingdom. This high-octane message is being reclaimed today, launching a spiritual insurgence.

Book excerpt: Confusion abounds among Christians today because so many believe they must postpone the reality of the Kingdom of God until some distant future or that they must wait until they die. How to Live in the Kingdom of God addresses the questions of what, where, when and even why with regards to the Kingdom of God. Believers today, as they enter the millennium, hunger for the deeper understandings about the Kingdom that this book offers. The Scriptures declare the Kingdom of God is a present reality in which we can partake. Readers of this book will learn the three levels of Christian maturity, how they relate to the three feasts and how to apply them to their daily Christian walk.
