"Our culture has a lot to say about heaven. But too much of it is based more on imaginative speculation or -supernatural- experiences than on the Bible itself. In the latest addition to the Theology in Community series, Christopher Morgan and Robert Peterson have assembled an interdisciplinary team of evangelical scholars to explore the doctrine of heaven from a variety of angles. Among other contributors, Ray Ortlund examines the concep ..."

It’s one thing having the “fi ..."

With those words Ray Ortlund stood in front of his congregation and asked them to make a new commitment -- a commitment to Christ, to the Body of Christ, and to the world Christ died to save, the 600 people who responded he named The Company of the Committed."

Caught off guard, many of them end up deeply hurt and quit the ministry, deciding that perhaps they misunderstood God's call on their lives or that they simply do not have what it takes. But church history is filled with compelling stories of men who w ..."
