      I would love to hear your thoughts in a video or something on Grudem's doctrine of the Trinity. Grudem has a lot to offer to the church because of his overall faithfulness and accessibility but many have expressed sharp criticism over this doctrine of the Trinity on more nuanced and high order issues.

    I’m a simple person. Two of my favorite books are short and easy reads but with profound concepts. The first is “A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23” by Phillip Keller. He describes how our nature is very like a sheep and how dedicated the Good Shepherd is to His flock. The other is “A Tale of Three Kings” by Gene Edwards. He explains that sometimes the leader put over us by God is not admirable, kind or fair, but he is the one God chose and there is a reason for His choice. It’s a study of three kings, Saul, David and Absalom and how their flaws teach the people what God wants them to know. I read them both over 30 years ago. They very much hold up in today’s climate too.

    @daledickerson8835 Год назад +3

    Back when I went to a Christian college, when we entered one class the first thing the professor said to us, "No where in the Bible does it say we are to accept Jesus as savior." We all were thinking, "Ok, let's see you get out of this one, bucko!" Then he introduced us to "The Cost of Discipleship," by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who, by the way, was excecuted in a Nazi prison camp. That convinced me. By the way, Bonhoeffer calls it "Costly Grace." MacArthur's "The Gospel According to Jesus" sealed it for me. A very inspirational book. We do not accept Jesus as Savior, but as LORD. Todd mentions misperceptions people have of heaven. Some say they do not want to go to heaven and spend eternity playing a harp. Even if that was all we would do in heaven, it is better than being in the "other" place. Some people joke they want to go to hell because that's where their friends will be, and they can party for eternity. Remember, the Bible says hell is a place of darkness, so you will never see your friends. It is a place of eternal loneliness. Anold saying: "When you die you either go to the Choir Place of the Fire Place.

    You asked if we would like to add any to that list that you thought might be useful. I encountered one recently, the title is: “The Book That Made Your World: “How the Bible Created the Soul of Western Civilization.” The author is Vishal Mangalwadi. He was born and raised in India in a Hindu home. He studied philosophy in secular universities and Hindu ashrams, but makes a solid case for the Christian faith. I highly recommend it.

  • @dakotaboy4402
    @dakotaboy4402 2 месяца назад

    A new book coming out this fall called "Pray Before Reading", is a must read for anyone who has ever wondered, "what in the world is going on in the book of Revelation"? "What does 666 mean and should I be concerned"? "How do I know if I am decieved"? "What's the difference between religion and Christianity, "we"re all on the same path, right"? How can I make sure I'm not deceived, get saved, and have eternal security of my salvation"? What's the meaning and purpose of life"?
    Yes thats right, it answer's all of these and more, from a Biblical perspective, with clarity, and consistency with the Bible! It's a life changing read because it gives clarity to some confusing Biblical topics by using the Bible to interpret itself. Look for it this fall from Lucid Books Publishing by Ryan Ivesdal.

    I would've added John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion, and said something like, it's not my problem if you know about the love that God has for you in salvation but at the very least it will be good to learn about. If you want a better understanding on prayer, the love of God or even just the doctrine of election Calvin is a must read and hey after you read him you still don't like him at the very least you tried to understand him. But a study on the attributes of God but A.W tozer is a good choice.

    The ONLY BOOK that TRUMPS…
    It is the Holy Bible!
    The best-selling book of all time is the Christian Bible. It is impossible to know exactly how many copies have been printed in the roughly 1500 years since its contents were standardized, but research conducted by the British and Foreign Bible Society in 2021 suggests that the total number probably lies between 5 and 7 billion copies.
    Before the advent of the printing press, the number of Bibles in the world was very small. Even though it was the most common book in the Christian world, the enormous outlay of time and money required to reproduce such a large book by hand meant that complete editions were extremely rare and valuable.
    This began to change with the development of printing technology in the mid-1400s. In the 50 years that followed the Gutenberg Bible in 1454, it has been estimated that European printers produced 15 million books, the majority of which were Bibles. As technology improved and literacy rates increased, so to did the rate or Bible production. By 1815, the total number of Bibles printed numbered around 1.3 billion.
    The Word of God is life changing and transforming! It is God-breathed and God is the Author and Finisher of our Faith.
    All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
    2 Timothy 3:16-17
    Hebrews 4:12, KJV: For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
    John 14:6
    King James Version
    6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
    Just as I am, without one plea
    But that Thy blood was shed for me
    And that Thou bid'st me come to Thee
    Oh, Lamb of God, I come, I come.
    Just as I am, though tossed about
    With many a conflict, many a doubt
    Fighting and fears within without
    Oh, Lamb of God, I come, I come
    Ooh, just as I am, ooh, I come
    Ooh, just as I am, oh Lamb of God, I come.
    Just as I am, Thou wilt receive
    Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve
    Because Thy promise I believe
    Oh, Lamb of God, I come, I come
    Ooh, just as I am, ooh, I come
    Ooh, just as I am, oh Lamb of God, I come
    Oh lamb of God, I come.
