Soos die ganse Ou Testament afgestem was op die koms van die beloofde Messias, so is die Nuwe Testament afgestem op sy reële koms en die totstandkoming van die nuwe Israel. Die skrywer hou daarvan om die kronologie, tydvak en kulturele atmosfeer rondom ’n gebeurtenis of persoon te ondersoek en poog om die stof toeganklik te maak, met herkenbare raakpunte van die lewe vandag. Die daaglikse lewe en geografie in die wêreld van die Nuwe Testament word nagevors. Die universeel menslike dilemma word weerspieël in die tema van alle musiek en literatuur: Verloor, soek, vind. Die goue draad van die verlossingsgeskiedenis bly behoue tot waar dit aangegee word na die evangelieskrywers vir die krip in Betlehem en daarna aan die apostels van Christus, tot by die boek Openbaring.

Neels Jackson, kerkjoernalis van byna 30 jaar, glo dat godsdiens grootliks gaan oor die nakoming van Jesus se oproep om Hom te volg. Vir hom het Jesus se liefde egter bepalende implikasies vir die gay debat. Sy empatie en liefde vir gay mense moet verstaan word in die lig van Jesus se onvoorwaardelike liefde vir die randfigure van sy tyd en hoe Hy teenoor die Fariseërs opgetree het. Die skrywer ontleed die sewe gay­tekste in die Bybel binne die konteks waarin dit geskryf is en kom tot die slotsom dat dit niks met homoseksualiteit te doen het nie. Die skrywer vul sy argument aan met die behandeling van 'n aantal misverstande oor gaywees en gay mense, asook ander argumente wat gaywees as sonde veroordeel. Hy voer dan ook aan dat Jesus se verruiming van die wet, asook die verskerping van die wet, vir ons die riglyn moet wees.

Katherine Willis Pershey has never slept with the mailman or kissed an ex-boyfriend. Good thing, since she’s married. But simply not committing adultery does not give you the keys to “happily ever after,” as Pershey has come to find out in her own marriage and in her work as a pastor. What is this sacred covenant that binds one person to another, and what elements of faith and fidelity sustain it? In Very Married: Field Notes on Love and Fidelity, Pershey opens the book on all things marital. With equal parts humor and intelligence, Pershey speaks frankly about the challenges and consolations of modern marriage. As she shares her own tales of bliss and blunder, temptation and deliverance, Pershey invites readers to commit once again to the joyful and difficult work of cherishing another person. For better or worse. For life.

Discover Prayer as a Supernatural Portal to Spiritual Dimensions!

Many believers’ prayers go unanswered because they never fully enter the spiritual realms that their prayers open up!

Apostolic leader and author, Robert Henderson, is world-renowned for his bestselling series on The Courts of Heaven. In this new work on prayer, Robert provides Biblical strategies for every believer to unleash the full power of their prayers, and see them answered!

God gave us prayer as more than a religious ritual. In fact, prayer is a supernatural portal through which we encounter God in multiple spiritual dimensions!

In the Gospels, Jesus presented three different dimensions of prayer. Each one is connected to a specific identity of God:

• Father: We encounter God the Father in the Secret Place and Throne of Grace.
• Friend: We take our place as Friends of God when we operate as intercessors.
• Judge: We come before the Judge when we are dealing with an adversary who resists our breakthrough.

When Christians learn how to operate in each of these spiritual dimensions, they can align their prayers with God’s will, and release His power for miraculous results!
