But will God so "bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ", that no wandering thought will find a place in the mind, even while we remain in the body? So some have vehemently maintained; yea, have affirmed that none are perfected in love unless they are so far perfected in understanding, that all wandering thoughts are done away; unless not only every affection and temper be holy and just and good, but every individual thought which arises in the mind be wise and regular.

Charles Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, pastored the Metropolitan Tabernacle for 38 years, and spent many of those years in a state of powerful revival. Multitudes came from all over the world to hear him speak. His average Sunday morning services hosted up to six thousand people listening intently to the Word of the Lord. While it is fairly common today to see churches of thousands, in some places there seems to be one on every street corner, back in Spurgeon’s day, it was nothing short of miraculous.

Much has been written about the life, ministry, and theology of the apostle Paul. But what about Paul specifically as a preacher? How did he understand his commission from the risen Lord Jesus to preach the gospel, and how did he put it into practice? Further, what lessons can contemporary preachers learn from Paul about the theology and practice of preaching to help them be more faithful messengers of God's Word?

Soon after the resurrection, Jesus spoke to his disciple Peter and gave him some insight into the way he would die. Peter, concerned, questioned Jesus and asked, “What about John?” Jesus simply said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.” Jamie states that this comment by Jesus is the way spirit-filled Christians must approach uncertainty, including death. He then lists six points that are critical to our capacity to follow Jesus and how we are to approach life, and death, to the glory of God. A master storyteller and Bible teacher, ...

La homilética es un tema sumamente práctico porque tiene que ver con la persona del predicador. En este audiolibro de teología nuestro énfasis no será tanto en la técnica de las predicaciones cristianas, ya que hay suficientes libros que se pueden consultar. Nuestra tarea será revisar la motivación de nuestro corazón. ¿Qué es lo que te lleva a predicar? ¿Por qué lo haces? Luego, ¿cuál es el propósito final de la predicación según la Biblia? Y esto es más importante todavía si tenemos en cuenta que la predicación nace en el mismo corazón de Dios.

Algunos de nosotros parecen haber dejado la resurrección en un lugar muy lejano -quizás para algunos, inexistente- en nuestra predicación. Cuando esto es así, no está en armonía con la proclamación bíblica del Evangelio. Les insto a que se sienten con su Biblia y lean detenidamente y en oración el libro de los Hechos. Allí encontramos una predicación genuina y llena del Espíritu Santo de las buenas nuevas de Jesucristo.

The Church's primary task is ensuring the practical encounter of humanity with the Holy Trinity. This task aims for the Church to regain God's lost image in her because of sin; this, in turn, enables the Church to live through Him, on earth, and to embark on a pleasurable trip, during which she delights in heaven's deposit, through the work of the divine grace. This is the purpose of the Word's incarnation, His crucifixion, His resurrection, His ascension, and His second coming. He is the unique Divine Tutor - the philanthropic Saviour of humanity. Let the Lord grant us now the ...
