Consecutive polygamy (as many husbands or wives as you like but only one at a time) is now an accepted norm in contemporary society. Hardly surprising, since the social, legal, moral and financial restraints holding marriages together for a lifetime have been steadily eroded in a relativist age where anything goes. What is surprising is that divorce and remarriage are becoming as common inside the church as outside, even among Christian leaders and especially in the Evangelical stream. Believers have been outspoken about such issues as abortion and homosexuality though their Lord Jesus said nothing about either. He did say quite a lot about the subject of this book but there is either a reluctance to take his teaching at face value or an eagerness to enlarge his ''exception'' until it becomes the rule. This volume primarily appeals to those for whom the Bible is the final authority in all matters of belief and behaviour, especially those who preach to, teach and counsel others. The author believes that the church should be leading the world uphill rather than following the world downhill.

Em "Por que Deus permite os desastres naturais?" David Pawson nos ajuda a encontrar a resposta para essa e outras perguntas sobre Deus. Todas as pessoas que fazem essa pergunta partem de duas premissas: que Deus é Todo-Poderoso e que ama todas as pessoas. Este livro nos ajuda a ter uma visão bíblica, e não sentimental, sobre Deus. A visão sentimental do amor de Deus anunciada ao longo dos anos pela Igreja levou muitas pessoas a pensar que Deus as ama tanto que jamais lhes causaria dor ou sofrimento. A visão bíblica, contudo, nos apresenta um Deus que é paciente, mas se ira; que cura e mata; que se agrada de algumas pessoas, mas rejeita outras; que abençoa e amaldiçoa. Por quê? Porque ele é bom. Ele é justo. É tão bom e justo que precisa odiar o mal e os que praticam o mal. Deus pode usar os desastres naturais para nos lembrar que, segundo a sua justiça, todos nós merecemos morrer, até mesmo de forma prematura e violenta, mas em sua misericórdia, ele concede mais tempo aos que sobrevivem para que se arrependam, para que reflitam e se acertem com ele.

Die evangelikale Betrachtungsweise ist sehr eindeutig: Sobald jemand Jesus als Herrn und Retter angenommen hat, ist seine Errettung garantiert. Aber stimmt das wirklich? Sind wir ein für alle Mal gerettet, wenn wir einmal gerettet wurden?David Pawson untersucht dies anhand von Bibelstellen, lässt historische Figuren wie Augustinus, Luther und Wesley zu Wort kommen und analysiert evangelikale Ansichten über Gnade, Rechtfertigung, göttliche Souveränität und menschliche Verantwortung. Er stellt sich dabei die Frage, ob die Wiedergeburt alleine ausreicht, damit unser Erbe nicht verlorengeht. Das Buch hilft uns, zu entscheiden, ob "Einmal gerettet - immer gerettet" eine echte Sicherheit oder eine irreführende Aussage ist. Die Antwort wird weitreichende Konsequenzen auf unser Leben und das Leben derer, die wir anleiten haben.

Here is a wealth of insight on a great selection of Psalms which will help preachers and all believers to appreciate their richness and depth of meaning. For example, the author comments on Psalm 23: David wrote this Psalm at the height of his maturity when he could have said as most men in this world say, "I can manage my own life. I don't need anyone else, I'll sort out my own problems," but he didn't. Even though he reached the top of his career if you like; even though he was the top man of his nation, the King of Israel, he was saying: I am a sheep and I need a shepherd. This Psalm is not for those who are dying, it is for those who are living. One reason why we apply it to death is that in the Authorized Version the word "death" was put into the Psalm and it is not there. It is, "Yea, though I walk through valley of deep darkness I will fear no evil." You can walk through that valley tomorrow morning without dying. It is also due to the inclusion of the words at the end of the Psalm "forever", making it a reference to the future life. But in fact, if you have a Bible with marginal references, you will notice at the bottom it is Hebrew "as long as I live". Now Christians can read eternity into that, but David was talking about as long as he lived here. So this Psalm is to help you Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, next week - however near your death or far from it you are.

The word "exodus" means going out, and it is essentially an escape story. All escape stories are exciting and interesting to read, and the book of Exodus is no exception. Here we have the account of the greatest escape in human history. A military expert has sat down to work out the kind of problems facing this escape. You realise that there were probably over two million people - men, women, and children - to say nothing of thousands of animals. They lived in the most forti¿ed country that the world had then seen. Its borders were held by rows of fortresses. The book of Exodus is not just an escape, it is an elopement. For it is the story of a runaway marriage, the true story of a covenant made between God and his people. God said: "Let my people go that they may come and serve me." It is not just to be saved from Pharaoh, but to be saved to God. This is the story of the book of Exodus - how they began the journey that was to lead to the land of blessing.
