Words matter. How we use them and define them determines how we understand the world and how others understand us. In Words Matter: What Is the Gospel? Drs. Mark H. Ballard and Timothy K. Christian explore how our personal definition of the word "Gospel" fundamentally affects our view of the world, our lives, and our standing with God.

At the heart of God's story is the hope that all things lost to man will one day be made new.The Bible presents a single narrative that begins in Genesis and ends in Revelation. Although the sixty-six books that make up the Bible are undoubtedly diverse, they all testify in unique ways to the working out of God's redemptive plan. Scripture's Story proposes that every book of the Bible testifies of the coming day when God's promised Offspring will destroy evil, restore creation, and dwell with his people forever. It is this unifying hope that forms the basis of the faith of all believers throughout the ages.

Product Description Christianity and the Bible are still relevant to American culture. As you read this book, you will, by default, see the relevance of God's word to our current culture. In so doing, you will see the clash, discern the disparities, and engage the solutions for culture provided by Christianity. The book will force you to realize that we must be beacons of light, truth, and hope in a culture of relativistic slop. The chapters are filled with timely words by prominent Christian leaders and cover topics including human sexuality, Christians' role in politics, morality, Biblical social justice, and much more. Review While America has in some ways fallen from the lofty pedestal the founders placed her on, living in America is still one of the greatest blessings God can bestow on a person. Christianity and American Culture Today, edited by Melton B. Winstead, challenges and equips Christians to take our stewardship of that blessing seriously by speaking truth to our current civil, political, social, moral, and spiritual woes. This collection of essays forcefully demonstrates that the Bible contains the message that are both eternally and urgently needed. To be good stewards, we must be informed about the crucial issues of our day and equipped to speak courageously to them. This book provides both. America has provided the most effective evangelism and mission-sending culture the world has ever known. It does this through the system of religious freedom and wealth we inherited from our founders and predecessors. Some countries have neither, while others have one or the other. But God has granted both to us, and they are protected when Christians are active in our culture and speak God's truth to events that are shaping our society. Some of the most pressing and far-reaching topics of our day are addressed in this book. Christianity and American Culture Today prepares us to unflinchingly stand together with the sword of the Spirit.- Ronnie W. Rogers, Senior Pastor, Trinity Baptist Church, Norman, OK About the Author Dr. Mel Winstead teaches Biblical Studies at Southern Evangelical Seminary and has pastored the historic Mt. Moriah Baptist Church in Marshville, NC for the past 15 years. He and his wife and two daughters reside in Marshville, NC. In addition to teaching and pastoral duties, Dr. Winstead speaks at apologetics conferences, leads local summer mission trips, and periodically helps with North Carolina Baptist Men's Disaster Relief (recovery and rebuild).

Christianity and American Culture Today: Essays in Honor of Richard D. Land

Hidden hurts are often the most serious, most painful, and most lingering problems in our lives. These are very real spiritual scars we try to forget or ignore, damaged emotions we pretend are okay, inner consequences of past sins we try to keep secret or concealed. But, just like a broken bone that causes pain and swelling beneath the skin, or, worse yet, like a hidden, cancerous tumor that grows and metastasizes, hid-den hurts can cause deep damage to every part of our lives.\nHealing Your Hidden Hurts is a scriptural examination of some of the deepest pains we all feel, hurts such as:\n- Fears that cripple and consume us 
- Anger that damages relationships with people we cherish 
- Grief that holds us in its grip and robs us of joy 
- Worry that dominates our thoughts and strangles our faith 
- Loneliness that makes us feel abandoned and for-gotten 
- Guilt that chains us to the sins of our past\nAs we examine God's Word concerning each of these areas of pain, we will discover that God offers us healing, grace, and release.

Healing Your Hidden Hurts

It has been noted that two men did more for Biblical Christianity in the 19th century than any other: Charles Haddon Spurgeon and Dwight Lyman Moody. The influence of D. L. Moody continues today. While much has been written about this great man of God, very little has been published about his preaching. This volume exposes a little-known fact: though Moody began as a topical speaker, he became a text-driven preacher in his later years.
