New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet and nationally renowned minister Timothy Keller exposes the error of making good things "ultimate" in this book, and shows readers a new path toward a hope that lasts. Success, true love, and the life you've always wanted. Many of us placed our faith in these things, believing they held the key to happiness, but with a sneaking suspicion they might not deliver. No wonder we feel lost, alone, disenchanted, and resentful. There is only one God who can wholly satisfy our cravings—and now is the perfect time to meet Him again, or for the first time. In Counterfeit Gods, Timothy Keller shows how a proper understanding of the Bible reveals the unvarnished truth about societal ideals and our own hearts. This powerful message cements Keller's reputation as a critical thinker and pastor, and comes at a crucial time—for both the faithful and the skeptical.

The issue of idolatry has been with the human race for thousands of years; the subtle temptation is always to take what is good and turn it into the ultimate good, elevating it above all other things in the search for security and meaning. In this timely and challenging book, New York pastor Timothy Keller looks at the issue of idolatry throughout the Bible -- from the worship of actual idols in the Old Testament, to the idolatry of money by the rich young ruler when he was challenged by Jesus to give up all his wealth. Using classic stories from the Bible Keller cuts through our dependence on the glittering false idols of money, sex and power to uncover the path towards trust in the real ultimate -- God. Today's idols may look different from those of the Old Testament, but Keller argues that they are no less damaging. Culturally transforming as well as biblically based, COUNTERFEIT GODS is a powerful look at the temptation to worship what can only disappoint, and is a vital message in today's current climate of financial and social difficulty.

These were powerful experiences that can have a profound effect on us today and help explain not only different aspects of Christianity, but the deep questions of life itself.

Walking with God through Pain and Suffering: The problem of pain is a perennial one; and for those who undergo particular sufferings it can often be the largest obstacle for trusting in a good and loving God.

Hidden Babylon And God S Last Warning by Mark Davidson

Who is Babylon the Great in the book of Revelation? Perhaps you’ve read God’s warning to “Come out of her, my people” and asked yourself if that warning applied to you. Mark Davidson approaches this question from a unique angle. He makes the scriptural case that Babylon the Great is the exact opposite of the Bride. Just as those who make up the Bride follow Christ, those who make up Babylon the Great follow their own idols and desires. The implication is that Babylon the Great comprises the entire world of people who do not follow Christ, nor make Christ the highest love of their lives. Babylon the Great encompassing the whole world is why Revelation 18:24 says all the blood of those slain on the earth is found in her. Therefore, God’s call in Revelation 18:4 to “Come out of her” has ominous implications for every person, whether Christian or not. Churches call for people to repent of their sins. However, sin is the result of idolatrous desires. Idolatry is subtle in everyone’s hearts—whether atheist or churchgoer—and its manifestations are everywhere. Everyone is susceptible. God’s last warning in the Bible to “Come out of her, my people” comes with consequences. Ignore this exhortation at your own peril! Praise for Hidden Babylon and God’s Last Warning “Mark’s unique gift of looking at the Scriptures with a fresh and dynamic perspective, will open the eyes of all of us as we look at the challenges of living in the last days, and help us not succumb to fear and bondage.” —Carl Sutter, senior pastor, Foundations Church, Loveland, Colorado “This book will force believers to take a much deeper look at culture as it unfolds right before our eyes. Mark Davidson brilliantly brings together a fresh biblical perspective ... this book confronts the major cultural issues of our time by spotlighting them with sound biblical proofs.” —Al Fadi, pastor, preacher, and teacher, founder of CIRA International “I encourage you to spend time in personal reflection reading through Mark’s book ... Take advantage of Mark’s study bringing insight to the idols that bind us, and it will move you to a deeper experience with God, as it did for me.” —Jon Voget, development director, Multiplication Network

The Chrono-Repairmen are three months into their 6 month training program designed by Colonel Rajveer when Masha Kowalczyk informs them about a matter of emergency. The breach in the timeline from 1192 has suddenly increased in speed and is going to catch up to their present in less than a week. In order to look for clues regarding Krenn Klore's activities, the group tracks down his bunker containing the time machine, only to find out that it had been set on fire and its interior is burned to a crisp. However, they find a pile of miscellaneous items under a cloth, unaffected by the fire which includes a mysterious robe and a gold mask designed to look like a spiral. They travel back to the past in 1192 and discover the mask and robe belong to a mysterious cult calling themselves "The Servants of the Oracle" who worship a mysterious deity. The cult has networks throughout Europe. Zerf Xerex attempts to infiltrate a secret cult base alone only to be captured by the cult. With the burned remnants of a scroll being their only lead, the Chrono-Repairmen are forced to split up throughout Europe to look for Zerf Xerex and uncover a sinister plot. The Servants of the Oracle have developed a biological weapon, and plan to spread deadly disease in many parts of the world with their most prominent target being the meeting between King Richard the First and Saladin. The attack would occur when the two kings are discussing the terms of the Treaty of Jaffa which would end the third Crusade.
