5 Christlike Ways to Inspire the Next Generation for Christ Church leaders are continuously concerned they might lose the next generation of faithful believers. They''ve scoured for practical and effective ways to disciple young Christians, often resorting to adopting new and exciting programs, emotional appeals, or mere moralism. However helpful these attempts are, they all too often lack one critical element—Christ. In this concise booklet, bestselling author Kevin DeYoung presents 5 Christlike ways to effectively communicate the Christian faith and practice with the next generation. DeYoung reminds leaders that they won''t ultimately impact young hearts with cleverness, humor, or good looks but by walking with Jesus and following his ways—grab them with passion, win them with love, hold them with holiness, challenge them with truth, and amaze them with God.

Bestselling Author Kevin DeYoung Offers Hope for Those Who Feel Like Christianity Has Become Hopelessly Crushing and Complex The apostle Paul described the Christian life as a race, but to many believers it feels more like a punishing obstacle course. Fearing they''ll never be able to do enough or give enough or be enough, they see themselves as spiritual failures. But Scripture offers good news: even in ordinary life, Christians can be faithful, fruitful, and pleasing to God. Impossible Christianity reassures readers that they don''t need to feel a collective sense of guilt for sins in the past and solve every societal problem in the present. Through biblical wisdom and engaging personal stories, Kevin DeYoung challenges the misconception that we need 40 hours in the day just to be good Christians. By reflecting on what Jesus actually taught about Christian discipleship, readers will be newly encouraged to pursue single-minded devotion to God and find lasting joy in a life of sincere and simple obedience. By Bestselling Writer Kevin DeYoung: Author of books including The Biggest Story; Just Do Something; and Crazy Busy Applicable: Written in a conversational tone, this book addresses Christian life issues including guilt, corporate responsibility, personal disciplines, assurance of salvation, and righteousness Offers Strength for Weary Christians: Helps believers answer the question, Can we please God and live a happy life in this anxious age?

Countercultural Yet Biblical Advice for High School and College Students, Ideal for Graduation and Birthday Gifts Most speeches addressed to high school and college students follow a similar theme: march to the beat of your own drum. This may sound encouraging on the surface, but Scripture exhorts believers to submit their lives to the will of God, not their own desires. Christian students need gospel-centered truth to guide them on their journey toward independence. In this collection of inspiring sermons and graduation speeches, Kevin DeYoung delivers a motivational, biblical call to young people: serve God faithfully—and if necessary, counter-culturally—in the next season of your life. Do Not Be True to Yourself includes practical advice for cultivating a Christ-centered worldview in every area of adult life, including relationships, work, church participation, and spiritual growth, making it a transformational resource for mentoring students. Written by Kevin DeYoung: Pastor and bestselling author shares relevant wisdom from past commencement speeches and sermons Concise, Engaging Chapters of Counter-Cultural Advice: Christ-centered guidance that includes developing spiritual habits, prioritizing church attendance, fighting sexual sin, and temptation, and making godly decisions. Includes Reading Guide: DeYoung suggests 12 classic Christian books every person should read, from writers including John Calvin, G. K. Chesterton, and R. C. Sproul Perfect for graduation gifts, birthdays, or small group discussion

Este livro tem dois objetivos principais. O primeiro é apresentar aos jovens cristãos, novos cristãos e cristãos não discipulados os artigos mais importantes da nossa fé e como é viver essa fé na vida real. [...] estamos ansiosos para comunicar a fé cristã e sua prática de uma maneira que ecoe nos adolescentes, estudantes universitários, jovens adultos e outros que precisam ter uma compreensão melhor do que eles acreditam e por que acreditam. Todos nós somos jovens cristãos [...] que queremos ver a próxima geração de cristãos aprender a pensar e a viver em adoração de maneira autêntica, bíblica e teológica. Queremos ver a geração seguinte compreender e expressar alegremente as verdades mais importantes. O segundo objetivo do livro é reafirmar a natureza teológica do evangelicalismo. Nos últimos anos, o termo evangélico perdeu quase todo o seu significado. Tornou-se uma categoria política ou um termo usado pelos sociólogos para os cristãos afiliados a certas denominações ou instituições. Evangélico passou a significar tudo e nada. Mas nós ainda achamos que esse termo pode ter credibilidade, desde que lhe seja atribuído um significado teológico que se manifeste em algumas posturas e práticas éticas, sociais e eclesiásticas importantes. [...] Este livro é uma tentativa de sugerir algumas das doutrinas, éticas e práticas que devem distinguir o cristão evangélico. Porém, percebemos que, para algumas pessoas, não gastamos tempo suficiente em alguns temas e, para outras, que deixamos de lado muitos outros. Nosso objetivo não é dizer: "Creia nisto e nisto" ou "Creia nisto e em nada mais", mas dizer: "Aqui estão as coisas que parecem essenciais e básicas para a fé cristã em geral e para a identidade evangélica em particular". Nossa esperança é que este livro possa ser minimamente útil em reformar a igreja de Cristo de acordo com a Palavra de Deus e formar cristãos na verdade dessa Palavra. [...] A nossa oração é que este livro possa ajudar uma nova geração de cristãos a se alegrarem nos aspectos mais importantes de nossa fé e caminhada, em vez de descobrir com tristeza que não sabemos pensar ou viver como cristãos. (Da Introdução)

Chúng ta có thể tin cậy Kinh Thánh hoàn toàn chăng? Kinh Thánh có thể giải quyết cuộc sống phức tạp của chúng ta sao? Chúng ta có thể hiểu được điều Kinh Thánh dạy không? Bằng sự hóm hỉnh và thông suốt, tác giả được trao giải thưởng xuất sắc là Kevin DeYoung đã viết ra một tài liệu dẫn nhập về Kinh Thánh để giải đáp những câu hỏi quan trọng của người đã tin Chúa và chưa tin Ngài. Quyển sách này sẽ giúp bạn hiểu Kinh Thánh nói gì về Kinh Thánh và những đặc điểm quan trọng góp phần vào sự tồn tại lâu dài của Kinh Thánh. Bỏ qua những biệt ngữ về mặt kỹ thuật, thì quyển sách hấp dẫn này sẽ khuyến khích bạn đọc và đặt lòng tin quyết vào những gì Kinh Thánh đã chép - thực sự là Lời của Đức Chúa Trời. "Lòng tin quyết của tôi vào Lời Chúa càng lớn hơn, sự thuận phục của tôi trước Lời Chúa càng sâu sắc hơn, còn tình yêu của tôi dành cho Lời Chúa càng ngọt ngào hơn, đó là kết quả của việc đọc quyển sách này". - David Platt, Mục sư, Hội thánh Brook Hills, Birmingham, Alabama; tác giả quyển sách Quyết liệt: Quay lại với Đức tin từ Giấc mơ Mỹ. "Quyển sách nhỏ này là một dẫn nhập rất dễ đọc về sự dạy dỗ của Kinh Thánh về Kinh Thánh nhằm truyền đạt lại các đặc điểm giáo lý về bổn phận và thông tin của Kinh Thánh, mà không bị sa lầy vào những chi tiết phức tạp. Hãy mua thật nhiều quyển sách này và phân phối cho các trưởng lão, các chấp sự, các giáo viên trường Chúa Nhật, và bất kỳ ai trong Hội thánh muốn hiểu rõ hơn nữa về Kinh Thánh. Giáo lý sai trật phần nào đến từ sự ngu muội. Phước cho người nào làm thầy cô và giáo sư ở trong Hội thánh, họ giống như tác giả của quyển sách này phải tra cứu thần học kỹ lưỡng, rồi truyền dạy thật dễ hiểu mà không để cho quá trình tiêu hóa thần học trở nên khó khăn". - D.A Carson, Giáo sư Nghiên cứu Tân Ước, Trường Thần học Tin lành Ba Ngôi. "Một trong những lời cầu nguyện của tôi dành cho mục vụ trong vòng 20 năm nữa đó là chúng ta sẽ chứng kiến trình độ viết sách về Kinh Thánh có sự đột phá mãnh liệt. Để điều này xảy ra, chúng ta phải biết Kinh Thánh nói gì và làm thế nào để nương cậy hết mình vào Lời ấy. DeYoung đã làm điều này thật tốt trong quyển Chúa Thật Như Lời. Cầu xin mọi người biết Đức Chúa Trời của Ngôi Lời và yêu mến hết thảy mọi điều ở trong đó bởi vì quyển sách nhỏ nầy". - Matt Chandler, Mục sư Trưởng, Hội thánh Village, Dallas, Texas; Chủ tịch Hệ thống Mở Hội thánh Acts 29.

Bestselling Author Kevin DeYoung Explores Jesus''s Foundational Prayer Christians know the importance of prayer, but the act of praying can be a real challenge. Some have the desire, but not always the will; others worry they don''t do it well. Books about prayer usually emphasize spiritual discipline, but that can foster more guilt than reassurance. So how can Christians improve their prayer life, embracing the privilege of communicating with God? In The Lord''s Prayer, Kevin DeYoung closely examines Christ''s model for prayer, giving readers a deeper understanding of its content and meaning, and how it works in the lives of God''s people. Walking through the Lord''s Prayer word by word, DeYoung helps believers gain the conviction to develop a stronger prayer life, and a sense of freedom to do so. Concise, Inspiring Guide to Prayer: Examines Luke 11:1–2 and Matthew 6:5–9, gives biblical and historical context to each part of the Lord''s Prayer, and ends with a doxology Accessible Resource for Many Readers: A great guide for laypeople and students as well as for pastors, church leaders, and ministry leaders Versatile Resource: A useful reference for seminary review or personal devotional reading

Deus criou a humanidade como homem e mulher, e reconhecer essa verdade nunca foi tão importante. Criados um para o outro e distintos um do outro, homem e mulher não são intercambiáveis, ambos foram projetados para funcionar de acordo com a conformidade divina. Esse projeto é em última análise um retrato vivo de algo maior: a união diferente mas complementar de Cristo e sua igreja. Em Homens e mulheres na igreja, Kevin DeYoung esclarece os textos bíblicos que revelam essa complementaridade divinamente desenhada e aplica esses textos mostrando que Deus nos fez para louvar, servir e obedecer a ele — tanto na vida quanto no ministério — como homens e mulheres.

Kevin DeYoung fala neste livro sobre tomar decisões da maneira piedosa. Com sabedoria pastoral e de bom gosto, DeYoung desmascara maneiras não bíblicas de entender a vontade de Deus e constrói uma alternativa simples, mas bíblica: viver como Cristo. Ele expõe as frustrações de nossos jogos de espera e revela a liberdade de encontrar a vontade de Deus nas Escrituras e, depois, simplesmente fazê-la. Este livro é um apelo para o crente se mexer e pegar a Palavra de Deus. É um apelo para obter sabedoria, seguir a Cristo, ser santo e viver livremente. Para fazer alguma coisa.

Una introducción bíblica sobre hombres y mujeres en la iglesia Hombres y mujeres, especialmente en el matrimonio, pero también en el resto de la vida, se complementan entre sí. Y esta verdad bíblica tiene un significado cósmico duradero. De principio a fin, la historia bíblica, y el diseño de la creación en sí, depende de la distinción entre hombre y mujer. Hombres y mujeres en la iglesia examina la complementariedad divinamente diseñada de hombres y mujeres que se aplica a la vida en general y especialmente al ministerio en la iglesia. A Biblical primer on men and women in the church Men and women,in marriage especially, but in the rest of life as well, complement one another. And this biblical truth has enduring, cosmic significance. From start to finish, the biblical storyline?and the design of creation itself?depends upon the distinction between male and female. Men and Women in the Church is about the divinely designed complementarity of men and women as it applies to life in general and especially ministry in the church.

A graça é uma doutrina maravilhosa demais para nos contentarmos com generalidades vagas. A graça - doutrina central ao Evangelho - precisa ser definida com clareza para que possa ser celebrada, apreciada e consistentemente defendida. Neste livro, Kevin DeYoung nos leva de volta aos Cânones de Dort - um documento do século XVII, escrito originalmente para definir tão preciosa doutrina com exatidão e fidelidade -, testemunhas fiéis da natureza precisa da graça de Deus, uma graça sobrenatural, soberana e redentora, graça que leva à ressurreição - estabelecendo clara oposição aos tantos que se contentam com vagas generalidades, que só fazem diluir a verdade. Em três seções concisas - cobrindo história, teologia e aplicação prática -, DeYoung explora o que levou ao desenvolvimento dos Cânones, por qual razão eles são necessários, as cinco doutrinas basilares que o Sínodo explicou e o lugar de Dort na fé cristã de hoje.

OS DEZ MANDAMENTOS AINDA VALEM PARA OS DIAS DE HOJE? Por serem preceitos tão antigos, os Dez Mandamentos são aplicáveis ainda hoje? Devemos obedecer a todos eles ou a apenas alguns? O que os mandamentos significam à luz da misericórdia de Deus revelada em Jesus? Em Os Dez Mandamentos, Kevin DeYoung realça a atemporalidade e a qualidade moral dos mandamentos de Deus, analisando cuidadosamente cada ordenança à luz da aliança mosaica e do cumprimento da lei por parte de Cristo. Com base no Sermão do Monte, DeYoung demonstra o propósito moral e a verdade essencial do Decálogo, além de esclarecer o que ele é, por que devemos conhecê-lo e como aplicá-lo. Este livro ajudará o leitor a entender e a seguir a lei de Deus, deleitando-se nela.

Apakah saya harus menikah? Apakah dia pasangan yang dikehendaki Tuhan? Pekerjaan apa yang Allah inginkan? Di manakah saya harus tinggal? Rumah mana yang harus saya beli? Ada begitu banyak pertanyaan yang harus dijawab dan keputusan yang harus diambil. Kita sering ragu-ragu dan tidak berani memutuskan sesu- atu yang berkaitan dengan masa depan, pekerjaan, dan relasi. Banyak dari kita menjadi khawatir karena belum menemukan kehendak Allah yang sempurna bagi hidup kita. Bahkan yang lebih buruk lagi, kita tidak melakukan apa-apa: hanya menunggu ... menunggu ... dan menunggu arahan langsung yang jelas dan bebas dari segala risiko. Tetapi Tuhan tidak perlu untuk selalu memberitahu kita tentang semua hal yang perlu diputuskan pada setiap persimpangan jalan. Dia telah menyatakan rencana-Nya bagi kita yaitu: untuk mengasihi-Nya dengan sepenuh hati, menaati Firman-Nya, dan setelah itu lakukanlah sesuatu yang kita inginkan. Buku ini akan menolong kita untuk lebih produktif, dengan membuat kita berani berjalan menjauh dari keragu-raguan yang melumpuhkan hidup kita. PENDEKATAN YANG TERLALU MEROHANIKAN SEGALA SESUATU UNTUK MENEMUKAN KEHENDAK ALLAH, AKAN MEMBUAT KITA TIDAK BERANI MELANGKAH. SAATNYA BAGI KITA UNTUK MELAKUKAN HAL YANG BARU: BERSERAH DAN MELANGKAH!

Discover how the cross delivers everything the world needs most. Freedom, forgiveness, justice, and purpose. We long for them in our lives and in the world. The cross delivers them! Yet sometimes we are so familiar with the cross that it loses its impact on us. We forget that Jesus’ death on the cross and his resurrection are the most important events in human history and our lives. The cross is the fulfillment of God’s salvation plan, promised from the dawn of time. It is central to the Bible, central to our faith, and central to the meaning and purpose of our lives. This foundational book looks at passages from both the Old and New Testaments to sum up the victory of the cross in four words: freedom, forgiveness, justice, and purpose, and what that means for us personally. Marvel at the cross afresh and be moved to love and serve the Lord Jesus with renewed zeal and joy. This short yet profound book is a very useful discipleship tool. It can be read individually, in pairs, or in small groups.

This book explores in unprecedented detail the theological thinking of John Witherspoon during his often overlooked ministerial career in Scotland. In contrast to the arguments made by other historians, it shows that there was considerable continuity of thought between Witherspoon’s Scottish ministry and the second half of his career as one of America’s Founding Fathers. The book argues that Witherspoon cannot be properly understood until he is seen as not only engaged with the Enlightenment, but also firmly grounded in the Calvinist tradition of High to Late Orthodoxy, embedded in the transatlantic Evangelical Awakening of the eighteenth century, and frustrated by the state of religion in the Scottish Kirk. Alongside the titles of pastor, president, educator, philosopher, should be a new category: John Witherspoon as Reformed apologist. This is a fresh re-examination of the intellectual formation of one of Scotland’s most important churchman from the eighteenth century and one of America’s most influential early figures. The volume will be of keen interest to academics working in Religious History, American Religion, Reformed Theology and Calvinism, as well as Scottish and American history more generally.

Our culture's assault on gender differences and authority is generationally urgent because it's unique to this Western moment, this time and place. So we must not take either set of problems out of our sights: the generationally urgent challenges to difference and authority andthe universally chronic challenge to equality. All this leads to our present moment: a reckoning for complementarianism.The task for complementarians more than ever is to continue reforming ourselves according to God's Word. We must work to understand authority and difference as well as equality from the Bible. A right understanding and practice of each will be the best defense against abuse and abdication both. That way we will "Keep [our] conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when we speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation" (1 Peter 2:12).

Explaining key concepts like kingdom, gospel and social justice, this book helps us think carefully about what the church is sent into the world to do. Looking at the Bible's teaching, it explores the what, why, and how of the church's mission.

Christians love to celebrate grace, but often talk about it in vague generalities. But such an important biblical concept ought to be clearly defined so it can be consistently defended. In this book, best-selling author Kevin DeYoung points modern readers back to an old document originally written to do just that. Warmly pastoral and broadly accessible, this book introduces readers to the Canons of Dort, a 17th-century work summarizing the central doctrines of the Christian faith. Widely regarded as a key pillar of the Reformed tradition, the Canons of Dort stand as a faithful witness to God''s grace—offering a depth of understanding that the church still needs today. In three concise sections—covering history, theology, and practical application—DeYoung explores what led to the Canons and why they were needed, the five important doctrines that they explain, and Dort''s place in the Reformed tradition today.

La volonté de Dieu: certains angoissent à l'idée de passer à côté par inattention ou négligence, et ils restent paralysés, dans l'attente de signaux clairs venus d'en haut. Et si, en réalité, ils connaissaient déjà la volonté divine ? Nettement différent de ce que l'on a l'habitude d'entendre et de lire sur le sujet, cet ouvrage remet les pendules à l'heure, ramène à l'essentiel et, surtout, ouvre une perspective libératrice sur une question qui a déjà fait couler beaucoup d'encre.
