Titoli in Chiesa e Guida della Chiesa

The growth of Christianity in the early centuries of the Common Era is one of the most extraordinary stories in world history. What began with a preaching day laborer and his dozen or so disciples soon grew to be the largest religion in the world, eventually taking over the entire Roman Empire. How did that happen? How was such a movement possible?

Every Christian at one time or another has probably asked, what is God’s will for me in this situation? In this accessible audiobook, Wayne Grudem offers practical guidance on how to make biblically informed decisions through the guidance of the Holy Spirit in accordance with God’s word.

L'autore, filosofo e storico anglo-americano ha esaminato la relazione tra religione e scienza, respingendo le idee di armonia e presentando la storia della scienza come "non una semplice registrazione di scoperte isolate; è una narrazione del conflitto di due potenze in competizione, la forza espansiva dell'intelletto umano da una parte, dall'altra la comprensione derivante dalla fede tradizionale e dagli interessi umani".

Being single does not mean that something is wrong. Singleness is not a problem that needs to be fixed. And yet, for so long, it has been treated that way. In the past, many churches have felt that the only way to include a single person into the fold of the church is to just get them married. This has often left single Christians feeling as if they don't belong, as if they can only find validation from a congregation if they find a spouse. Singleness is not an illness to cure, nor is it a brokenness that needs repair.

How has a Christian movement, founded at the turn of the twentieth century by the son of freed slaves, become the fastest-growing religion on Earth?

Every position of power—in homes, churches, and boardrooms—has the potential to strengthen people or to harm them. Bad leaders abuse their authority or abdicate it. And their actions breed distrust in authority generally. Yet what do godly authority and leadership look like—the kind that causes people to flourish? Many men today have lost their bearings when it comes to leadership. In this condensed version of his book Authority, Jonathan Leeman equips men to take hold of the authority they've received and responsibly steward it for the good of others.

It is not difficult for the observant Christian to recognize a church in decline. In every small town, suburb, or city, there is often a church on the brink of shutting their doors, or at the very least recognizing the stagnancy of a church’s growth. Matt Capps and Steven Wade know this not only from observation, but from experience in their own revitalized churches. In Shepherding Renewal, these pastors address the hardship of serving a church in decline, and even more so address the need to breathe new life into the dying church.

Too often, fear and suspicion have characterized churches' response to LGTBQ+ people. As we remain committed to the historic Christian teachings about marriage and sexuality, American evangelical churches have also harmed a community we have not understood. Our default has been to keep LGBTQ+...
