A aquellos que confían en Jesús y quieren vivir para Él no les toma mucho tiempo encontrarse con la idea de que hemos sido bendecidos por Dios para ser de bendición a otros. Los detalles de ese servicio, sin embargo, no son fáciles. Puede ser tedioso, y muchas veces incluso molesto, frustrante y desalentador. Cuando intentamos servir a otros, nos encontramos con nuestro pecado y el de ellos. Nos enfrentamos a las mentiras que nos dicen que no podemos lograrlo, que no valemos nada y que no tenemos nada qué ofrecer. Pero la verdad del evangelio cambia todo eso. Ahora nuestra esperanza no está en lo que podemos hacer, sino en la obra de Cristo en nosotros. Ahora que confiamos en Jesús y Él es nuestro Rey, ponemos manos a la obra y le seguimos día a día. Este libro Servicio, nos ayuda a entender lo que la Biblia dice acerca del servicio a otros y como aplicarlo dentro y fuera de la iglesia. For those who trust Jesus and want to live for Him, it doesn't take long to run into the idea that we have been blessed by God so that we will be a blessing to others. The nitty gritty of that service, though, isn't easy. It can be tedious, and it's often downright annoying, frustrating, and discouraging. When we try to serve others, we face our own sin and theirs. We face the lies which tell us we can't do it, that we're not worth anything, and that we've got nothing to offer. But the truth of the gospel changes all that. Now our hope is not in what WE can do, but in the work of Christ in us. Now that we trust Jesus, now that he's our King - we get on and follow Him day by day. This book, Service, helps us understand what the Bible says about our service to others and how to apply it inside and outside the church.

Servicio / SPA Service (9Marks Primeros Pasos) (Spanish Edition)

This latest addition to the IXMarks series tells the story of the revitalization of Guilford Baptist Church in northern Virginia. Weaving together scripture and biblical principles with humor and personal anecdotes, author Michael McKinley asserts that a pastor's faithful exposition of God's Word, passion for sharing the gospel, and care in the training of other godly leaders are more important than the size of his church. McKinley honestly shares his own fears and rookie mistakes, along with encouraging stories of how God moved at Guilford Baptist. We are reminded that God uses weak and fearful pastors in plants and revitalizations; church planting is indeed for "wimps." For pastors and seminarians considering a church plant and those already struggling in their own fledgling congregations, this book is a thoughtful and encouraging resource.

Church Planting Is for Wimps: How God Uses Messed-up People to Plant Ordinary Churches That Do Extraordinary Things (9marks)

Are you really a Christian?
You may think you are, but you may not be. After all, Jesus himself said that some people will do seemingly “Christian” things in his name but will not truly know him. Or maybe you know you are not a Christian and you wonder what it really means to be one.
To be sure, however, there is clarity from God’s perspective. He is not confused about who does and does not know him. And though our self-awareness is certainly limited, we have been given biblical criteria to help us evaluate whether we are indeed followers of Christ.
Mike McKinley shows us the importance of examining our standing with God and helps us to fearlessly ask the hard questions, ultimately allowing us to see whether we are in the faith and what exactly that entails.

Am I Really a Christian? (9Marks)

It is impossible to alleviate poverty―in its fullest sense―apart from the local church.
In recent years, Christians have shown an increased commitment to helping the poor. But this renewed interest in poverty alleviation is doomed to fail if it is not rooted in the local church―God’s established means of drawing downtrodden people into a transformative relationship with himself. Emphasizing the priority of the gospel, Mez McConnell and Mike McKinley, both pastors with fruitful ministries among the poor, offer biblical guidelines and practical strategies for planting, revitalizing, and growing faithful churches in hard places―in our own communities and around the world.

Review\nI am so grateful for this book by Sean DeMars and Michael Mckinley. It is a very readable and thoroughly biblical exposure of the complete theological bankruptcy of one of the most egregious distortions of the Gospel ever to disgrace the name of Christ. -- Justin Peters (Founder of Justin Peters Ministries )\n… insightful and humorous, wise and winsome, direct yet careful. I pray that God will cause your soul to prosper as you read this book. -- Mark Dever (Senior Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church and President, 9Marks.org, Washington, DC)\nSean and Michael have written an honest and illuminating book that uses scripture (in context!) to confront all the core tenets of the prosperity gospel. It is also written in a way that is conversational, speaking the truth with directness in love. I pray the Lord will use this work to graciously reveal the glory of the true Christ to those in deception. -- Brandon Kimber (Director of “American Gospel: Christ Alone”)\nHaving experienced its damaging effects, Sean DeMars and Mike McKinley set out to reveal the insidious toxicity found in the prosperity gospel. Naming and claiming promises of material blessing for those who believe enough may seem at first glance to be biblical but turn out to be a distortion of God’s truth. 
Beginning by countering claims made by the prosperity gospel with what scripture actually teaches, they highlight the places in scripture that stand directly opposed to prosperity teachings. They explore what the Bible teaches about whether people who believe false doctrine are eternally saved, and how to examine our hearts for a prosperity–style understanding of God.\nThe Heart of the Prosperity Gospel
