Too often skeptics charge Christians with having a blind faith. Unfortunately, believers have added fuel to the charges of skeptics by speaking of their faith illogically. But the Christian faith is not a blind faith. In fact, biblical faith is never a blind, irrational faith. Christianity rests firmly on the stone that was rejected by the builders, which has become the cornerstone--Jesus Christ (Acts 4:11). Living biblically requires thinking biblically, just as "to think biblically entails to live biblically," as Winfried Corduan notes in the Foreword. As followers of Christ, believers cannot separate biblical thinking and biblical living. These two behaviors are eternally connected not only in the person of Jesus Christ, but they stem from the eternal being of God the Father and his eternal truth. Christ mandates that his followers love God with their entire being--heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30). How are believers to go about living out this biblical mandate? Christian faith is a warranted belief. This is why it is so essential that Christians recognize the value and importance of philosophy and its proper place in Christendom and in the Christian's walk.

Our nation is in a crisis concerning healthy masculinity. The church is too. What is the solution? Destroying isolation in the church, one man at a time. Welcome to the Jesus Model of discipleship. It worked for Jesus and it still works today. The church is realizing that preaching and programs do not disciple men. Men disciple men. The most important thing that a church can do is to build an intimate brotherhood of men. That is what the churches in East Texas are doing. Why? They have realized that isolation is man's biggest problem. Once the issue of isolation is resolved and a man has true brothers, then genuine discipleship can finally begin. Naked Warriors shows the nuts and bolts of the Jesus Model of Discipleship, and how the local church can jump quickly into the men's movement that Jesus began. Although simple, this movement requires genuine faith and a deep love for the hearts of men. It is NOT a program nor is it a curriculum. It is definitely not a men's ministry. It is real life. It is what men are craving. The biggest beneficiary are local church pastors. They have the privilege of watching marriages get stronger, children and teens receive the love they need, while the church is rewarded with plenty of strong, humble servant leaders. Every church needs a men's revival. Come join us!

Why is it a struggle to pray? Respected professor, speaker, and pastor Dr. Chuck Lawless explores the power of a praying church and how it can transform your ministry. Through prayer, we have access to the all-powerful living God. Even so, too many of us are tempted to start our days prayerless and feeling alone. How can this be? We can't afford to be so negligent, because whether we realize it or not we all face a high-stakes spiritual battle when we step out into our communities. In The Potential and Power of Prayer, Chuck Lawless illustrates how churches need to take prayer seriously in order to grow; explores how Jesus and the early church depended on God through prayer; explains how prayer is essential to preparing for spiritual battles; and guides church leaders in establishing the priority of prayer and a thriving prayer ministry in their churches. God chooses to move among Christians who humbly come to him in prayer; who depend on him for strength and guidance.
