War of Words, Getting to the Heart of Your Communication Struggles

We speak thousands of words every day.

Few things we do are more important. Underneath the normality of daily speech lies a great struggle—a war of words with high stakes and life-changing consequences.

With characteristic vulnerability and Christ-centeredness, Paul Tripp shows that the gospel can utterly transform the way we communicate. The Word made flesh offers us hope for our words—giving us the power to speak words that restore, words that heal, words that bring life. In our war, the Lord Jesus is the one who gives us the victory.

With the aid of personal assessments and discussion questions, use this incisive book to renew your reliance on your heavenly Father’s abundant grace and better pursue speech that honors Christ and benefits others.

Winning the war of words means never forgetting who we are. When we remember that we are what we are because of God’s mercy alone, we speak with gentleness and humility as God’s restorers

Expository Study of Psalm 23 Reveals the Beauty and Deep Theological Meaning behind a Familiar Part of Scripture

Psalm 23 is one of the most recognizable passages in the whole Bible. Though relatively short, this poetic depiction of God’s love epitomizes Christ’s goodness and provision as he leads his children. Even lifelong Christians will find fresh encouragement by closely studying these familiar words.

David Gibson walks through each verse in Psalm 23, thoroughly examining its 3 depictions of the believer’s union with Christ as sheep and shepherd, traveler and companion, and guest and host in The Lord of Psalm 23. Gibson provides canonical context for the Psalm’s beautiful imagery, inspiring praise and wonder as readers reflect on the loving Shepherd who meets every need.

• Rich Theology: Adapted from 3 engaging sermons by David Gibson
• Expository: Closely examines Psalm 23’s imagery and what it reveals about the relationship between Christ and his followers
• Uplifting and Informative: Encourages deep reflection on Christ’s provision, comfort, and eternal strength

In Manne van geloof Gebedsjoernaal ondersoek topverkoper-outeur Angus Buchan die lewens van 30 geloofshelde wat berge verskuif het deur getroue gebed, waaronder Charles Spurgeon, Oswald Chambers, E.M. Bounds, Johannes Calvyn, Augustinus, en ook Bybelkarakters soos Dawid, Job, Abraham en Salomo.

Die pad van rou ná die verlies van ’n geliefde kan die ontstellendste en eensaamste ervaring wees wat jy nog ooit beleef het. In sulke tye is dit normaal om te wens vir ’n lewe anderkant jou hartseer. Sommige dae voel die blye weersiens so naby. Maar ander dae onthul ons verdriet die groot afstand tussen waar ons nou is en waar ons wens om te wees.

Daar is net een regte antwoord: God is ons stewige anker, die enigste bron van hoop wat nooit sal teleurstel nie. Hy wil hê sy hoop moet oorspoel tot in jou daaglikse lewe en jou die krag gee om vrees in die oë te kyk, stres te verminder, konflik op te los, gesonde verhoudings te bou, versoeking te oorkom en enige uitdaging aan te pak.

Kosbaar vir Hom: Bevestigings vir Vroue van Geloof

Voel dit soms of jy nie aan die wêreld se standaarde van sukses en skoonheid voldoen nie? Dat jy nie genoeg is nie?

Die 44 inkleurkaartjies van Kosbaar vir Hom is die ideale manier om jouself te herinner aan wie jy in Christus is. Terwyl jy die 44 bevestigings van jou identiteit as kind van God inkleur, sal jy daaraan herinner word dat jy deur jou hemelse Vader uitverkies, vergewe, en verlos is en dat Hy jou baie liefhet. Dink biddend na oor elke bevestiging terwyl jy inkleur en jou verheug in jou identiteit as ’n dogter van die Koning!

• 44 inkleurkaartjies in ’n boksie.
• Elke kaartjie het ’n Bybel-gebaseerde bevestiging wat ingekleur kan word, met ’n ondersteunende Bybelvers.

Wonder jy ook soms hoekom slegte dinge met goeie mense gebeur? Waar is God wanneer goeie mense ly?

Ons kan soveel leer uit die verhaal van Job. In Wanneer God stilbly: 'n 7-week-Bybelstudie oor Job verduidelik Johan Smit dat ons, net soos Job, soms ook te staan kom voor tragedies en die ontnugterende gevolge daarvan.

Hierdie Bybelstudie lig in 7 studies die belangrikste temas uit die boek Job uit, soos:

• Waarom gebeur slegte dinge met my?
• Is lyding die straf op sonde?
• Waar kan ’n mens wysheid vind?
• God praat op verskillende maniere.

Johan Smit sluit die Bybelstudie af deur vir gelowiges vandag die doel van lyding te verduidelik, hoe lyding in die Christen se lewe lyk en hoe ’n mens iemand kan help wat deur ’n moeilike tyd gaan.

Wanneer God stilbly is ’n hoopvolle bevestiging dat die lewende God vandag nog in mense se lewens teenwoordig is te midde van moeilike omstandighede.

Dit is maklik om ons geestelike fokus te verloor te midde van die gejaagdheid van die lewe. Vir sulke tye het ons ’n nuwe verstaan nodig van wie Jesus is en moet ons stil word by Hom.
