"At a time when the Bible and Christianity are considered untrustworthy, will we choose faith or follow the culture?
This book will provide you with the facts and understanding you need to respond to difficult questions biblically and stay rooted in your faith even when others seem to be abandoning theirs.
We are living in unprecedented times when Christian leaders are renouncing their faith and large numbers of believers are falling away. Is this the final apostasy prophesied by Jesus and Paul? And can we do anything to help those struggling with their faith? In Why So Many Christians Have Left the Faith, Dr. Michael L. Brown confronts the problem of "Christian deconstruction" with solid, faith-building answers and honest responses to difficult questions. He addresses:
- What the Bible says about an end-time falling away and whether that is what we are seeing in our day;
- How solidarity with and sympathy for the LGBT movement has brought with it a rejection of biblical values;
- The effect of leadership scandals on the credibility of the gospel;
- How the me-centered gospel is contributing to the current faith crisis by putting God on trial;
- The contemporary objections to the Bible's moral standards;
- The problem of pluralism; and
- What the Bible does and doesn't say about future punishment in hell, while also examining the scriptural statement that "God is love."
Looking at the stories of those who fell away as well as the larger cultural factors, this book offers solid answers to the major attacks against the Bible and helps readers build an unshakable faith."
"This book is not a call to the violent overthrow of the government, nor is it a call to take up arms, nor is it a call to political activism in and of itself. It is a call to something far more extreme: a call to live out the gospel with all its radical claims; a call for the people of God to impact this generation with the prophetic message of repentance; a call to spark the most sweeping counterculture movement in our nation's history; a call to take back the moral high ground that has been stolen from under our feet; a call to follow Jesus by life or by death. Revolution answers such questions as the following: ? What is the role of the Christian and the church during these tumultuous times? ? How are we to respond to the racial upheaval happening in our nation? ? What is the church's role in healing the divide in our fractured, divided country? Dr. Brown turns up the volume in this call to God's remnant people to pray, repent, and act according to the teachings of Jesus—who is calling us to holy revolution."
"WHAT NOW? When the World Stops is a timely yet timeless message for God's people that provides practical tools for not only weathering this current crisis, but emerging from it with a strengthened faith and deeper appreciation for the things that matter most. Like a reassuring hand on your shoulder, Dr. Michael L. Brown helps point the way forward for those seeking answers to questions like: • Is this pandemic the final plague talked about in the Book of Revelation? • Are we indeed in the final days before Jesus' return? • Who or what sent the virus? • How do I balance my family's needs with the faith to live for Christ in crisis? • Should we submit to the government's guidelines? • How can I steward my health in a biblical way? Dr. Brown brings biblically sound and clear answers for staying healthy, living with wisdom, and maintaining your faith. As we move forward with wisdom in the power of the Holy Spirit, we must understand that 'the darkness is the divine setup for the light. The sickness is the divine setup for the healing. The current crisis is the divine setup for the church to arise and shine and make a difference. We must seize this moment before it passes. We must milk it to the full, for the glory of God. Does your heart bear witness to my words?' This book will help you see how you can be the hands and feet of Jesus during this world's dark hour. It provides a God-calibrated compass for the turbulent uncharted waters we find ourselves in and sifts through the dizzying array of information regarding this current crisis, separating fact from fiction, prudence from pandemonium and faith from fear."
"Jezebel was the most wicked woman in the Bible, a powerful seductress who killed the prophets, led Israel into idolatry and immorality, and emasculated men. She was seductive and determined to snuff out the voices coming against her, because these voices were calling out for repentance. In twenty-first-century America, Jezebel is not a person. But it's as if the spirit of Jezebel is alive again today. The influence of the same demonic force is being felt in the massive increase of pornography and sexual temptation, the militant spirit of abortion, the rise of radical feminism, and most importantly, in the attempt to silence prophetic voices. Just as Jezebel clashed with strong men almost three thousand years ago, the demonic spirit of Jezebel is powerful in America, and it is going after the church. This eye-opening book not only unveils the satanic plot to destroy America, beginning with an all-out assault on the church, but it will equip every believer with tools to defeat the enemy in their own personal lives as well as in the nation. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: • Reveals how the spirit of Jezebel is at work in the twenty-first century through sexual immorality, abortion, radical feminism, and even the fascination with witchcraft and sorcery • Shows how, just as the biblical Jezebel was on a collision course with Jehu, this spirit is on a collision course with Donald Trump • Equips readers to defeat the spirit of Jezebel on a personal and national level"
"Despite the popular theology of our day, Christians should not expect to get out of experiencing the tribulation or the end times. Nowhere in the Bible does the Lord promise us this, say Michael Brown and Craig Keener, two leading, acclaimed Bible scholars. In fact, they say, Jesus promises us tribulation in this world. Yet this is no reason to fear. In this fascinating, accessible, and personal book, Brown and Keener walk you through what the Bible really says about the rapture, the tribulation, and the end times. What they find will leave you full of hope. God's wrath is not poured out on His people, and He will shield us from it--as he shielded Israel in Egypt during the ten plagues. So instead of taking comfort in what God hasn't promised, take comfort in the words of Jesus: He has overcome the world, and we live in his victory."
