Do you struggle with believing that forgiveness from God is complete forgiveness? In eternal security, Ryan shares the nitty gritty of his story of having been a preacher who said that you could lose your salvation. But God’s Word, and God’s patience led Ryan to the truth. You too, can have confidence in what the Bible really says. Don’t trust people’s opinions or the preacher who makes you feel good. You need to know what God’s Word says and base what you believe solely on that. Many are well-meaning, but only God’s Word is perfect.
Is Heaven really just an ethereal existence? Will people float around, sing some hymns and be like angels in the clouds? Ryan addresses these common questions succinctly and points to what the Bible really says about Heaven and it is anything but boring!
What did David, Paul, Peter, Abraham, and Noah have in common? They were not perfect. In our Christian lives, sometimes we expect ourselves to be perfect now that we have Jesus. We expect our feelings to be completely different. We expect all our problems; our sin struggles to go away. This is being written for me as much as it is for you. ….Sin; it’s why we need Jesus. After we’re saved and commit sin, the reality of this struggle is often the source of our greatest shame. Satan loves to hold sin over your head, constantly condemn you, and build a stronghold by exploiting your sin and telling you that you can never change. You try harder and harder to be better and the sin just grows bigger and bigger….Do you want God to cast something out of you, just to fix your sin struggle with anger, gossip, haughtiness, jealousy, worry? It doesn’t normally work that way. God can do a miracle, yes. But human nature, the flesh, the Bible says has to be crucified. Get in on Amazon
So you’re just starting out in ministry…or perhaps you’re a seasoned veteran—either way you know that ministry is much more demanding than you initially thought. What you need is your heart to be stirred again by the gospel, by the Word of God, by the Spirit of the living God. In Pastoral Ministry, you will find devotionally-rich meditations and pithy exhortations designed to strengthen the hands of a minister at the plow and to foster encouragement in one’s daily struggles. May the Lord stir the fire in your heart once again as you continue running the race Christ has marked out for you. And in it all, may you focus on the mark—Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Matt. 6:33).
Many applaud Jesus Christ as a great teacher, even a prophet, but does it make sense to really believe that He claimed to be God? What do Jesus’ own statements reveal? Did He truly believe Himself divine and the only way to Heaven? In this booklet, Ryan Marks traces Jesus Christ’s own words about Himself to clearly show what the truth about how Jesus Christ viewed and taught about Himself.
Sharing your Christian Faith is important. One must depend on the Holy Spirit and be led by the Lord when sharing the Faith. Yet, one must also study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that does not need to be ashamed but rightly divides the Word of Truth. Study is important, but not mere intellectual study. Understanding of another religion should further solidify one’s Biblical worldview. The arena of this world and our War against the world, the flesh, and the devil is largely a battle of ideas, worldviews, and beliefs. Those beliefs, ideas, and worldviews shape economies, political institutions, education, and even nations. Jesus Christ told His followers to go forth and disciple the nations. Are we preparing to go forth and do so? Are we preparing to teach others all that Christ has commanded us as He laid out in the Great Commission or are we only evangelism focused saying repent of your sin and receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord but not willing to walk alongside others for the long haul, teaching them the Word of God, bringing them up to maturity in Christ so that they will be fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ themselves who are able and ready to go forth and disciple others? May we evangelize as well as do our part to disciple the nations for Jesus Christ!
