Women are not inferior to men--so why does the church sometimes treat women as less capable or valued than men?
Women are told to be bold, assertive, independent, and competitive. They are expected to take leadership, exert authority, be bread-winners, and to single-handedly tackle all of life's demands.
God's high calling for women in the church--a topic still relevant for today--is outlined in 1 Timothy 2:9-15
If followed, His plan results in blessing, unity, and glory for God. In God's High Calling for Women, Dr. John MacArthur discusses important concerns for women in the church as outlined by the apostle Paul: their attitude, appearance, testimony, design and contribution.
Complete with questions for review and thoughts for reflection at the end of each section, this thorough, insightful, yet concise study on the important and controversial subject of women in the church will serve as an excellent resource for personal or group study.
Like newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the word, that by it you may grow in respect to salvation. 1 Peter 2:2
It's a fact of life: our health declines if we don't nourish our bodies every day with food and water. That's true physically. It's true spiritually as well.
If we neglect to regularly feed our souls on the Holy Scriptures, our faith becomes weak and we start to lose touch with our Savior. Growth is stifled... if it happens at all.
Drawing Near, used daily in combination with God's Holy Word, can not only help bring you closer to God but also keep you from spiritual stagnation. This book will guide you in a growing relationship with Him.
As Pastor MacArthur says in his Introduction: Our entertainment-conscious, quick-fix, fast-food society does everything it can to divert us from setting aside time to study God's Word. As you well know from your own efforts, Bible study is not often entertaining--it's hard work. It takes discipline to set aside time each day to reap the benefits such study has to offer. If you reach an impasse when it's time to sit down, open your Bible, and try to decide what to do, you're not alone. Without some plan to follow, it's easy to become frustrated and eventually give up after only one or two days. That's where this book comes in.
If you desire greater understanding of the precious Word of God, if you want a daily guide to draw you closer to the Lord, this outstanding collections of 365 devotional readings by one of America's most respected and trusted Bible teachers is for you!
The end of the world is coming. From roadside signs to science fiction films, this slogan underscores our society's nervous fascination with the future. Whether it's a giant asteroid, a worldwide plague, or some other global catastrophe, the end of the world is a terrifying prospect--at least for those who have no idea what it will be like.
For Christians, however, the end of the world should be anything but dreadful. In fact, it should be something we look forward to. Why? Because God has told us how the world will end. And He has assured us that the end of this age will mark the beginning of a new, glorious one in which we will serve and worship Him in sinless perfection. Our eternal hope, as believers, is intimately tied to the end of this world.
All of this is laid out in the book of Revelation. Not only is Revelation the inspired Word of God, it is also the only New Testament book that includes a promised spiritual blessing for those who study and apply its message. As such, it is an essential part of every Christian's devotional life. Those who ignore Revelation deprive themselves of a rich treasure of divine truth, and the promised blessings that come from understanding that truth. Join John MacArthur as he explains the book of Revelation in a way that is both doctrinally precise and intensely practical.
Our response to moral questions is not determined by politics, economics, personal preference, popular opinion, or human reasoning. It is, instead, grounded in what God has told us is true about ourselves and our world....God's Word offers sanity, clarity, and hope.
--John MacArthur

Las acciones pueden engañar durante un tiempo, pero al final la conducta externa reflejará lo que haya en el interior de la persona.
Sin duda, el factor crucial para vivir la vida cristiana es la condición de tu corazón, porque tus actitudes internas determinan quién eres en realidad. Esas actitudes internas son también lo que Dios considera más importante.
En este libro, uno de los pastores y maestros de la Biblia más respetados examina las actitudes fundamentales o pilares del carácter cristiano, tal y como se describen en la Palabra de Dios. Estos pilares incluyen la fe genuina, la obediencia, la humildad, el amor abnegado, el perdón, la autodisciplina, la gratitud y la adoración, entre otros.
Cada uno es un elemento esencial del cristianismo maduro, pero también existe un poder transformador cuando los practicas en tu vida diaria como mandato de Dios. Así tu carácter estará fundamentado en la piedad y podrás ver todo desde una perspectiva eterna.
[Amar a Dios] con todo el corazón, con todo el entendimiento, con toda el alma, y con todas las fuerzas, y amar al prójimo como a uno mismo, es más que todos los holocaustos y sacrificios.--Jesucristo (Mr. 12:33)
Demasiadas iglesias hoy día se han olvidado de que su principal propósito es muy simple. Igual que la iglesia del Dios viviente deben ser columna y baluarte de la verdad (1 Ti. 3:15). En su lugar, han construido una fachada que no ofrece apoyo, sostiene poco peso y se queda lejos de alcanzar las alturas que Dios diseñó para la iglesia y que desea que la iglesia alcance.
Una vida saludable para la iglesia solo se origina en una actitud espiritual adecuada por parte de sus miembros (cf. Dt. 30:6; Mt. 22:37; Mr. 12:32-35; He. 10:22). El deseo ferviente del apóstol Pablo, por el que trabajaba y oraba con tanta diligencia era que Jesucristo fuera formado plenamente en la vida de cada uno de aquellos a quienes ministraba: Hijitos míos, por quienes vuelvo a sufrir dolores de parto, hasta que Cristo sea formado en vosotros (Gá. 4:19). Amplió ese concepto cuando animó a los colosenses diciéndoles: La palabra de Cristo more en abundancia en vosotros, enseñándoos y exhortándoos unos a otros en toda sabiduría, cantando con gracia en vuestros corazones al Señor con salmos e himnos y cánticos espirituales (Col. 3:16). Dios desea obrar en la vida íntima del creyente. Por lo tanto, la meta de todos los pastores y líderes espirituales de la iglesia debe ser ver vidas transformadas. Todo ministerio y actividad de adoración que realizan debe motivar a las personas a pensar bíblicamente.
Sin ninguna duda, el factor crucial para vivir la vida cristiana es la condición de tu corazón. Comprendes y aplicas los pilares fundamentales del carácter cristiano tan claramente bosquejados en la Palabra de Dios? El apóstol Pablo escribe este excelente resumen de cómo una actitud piadosa tiene relevancia para la vida diaria: Siervos, obedeced a vuestros amos terrenales con temor y temblor, con sencillez de vuestro corazón, como a Cristo; no sirviendo al ojo, como los que quieren agradar a los hombres, sino como siervos de Cristo, de corazón haciendo la voluntad de Dios; sirviendo de buena voluntad, como al Señor y no a los hombres (Ef. 6:5-7). Es mi oración sincera que hacer la voluntad de Dios de corazón se convierta en una realidad permanente en tu vida como resultado de este estudio.

Actions can be deceiving for a while, but in the end the external behavior will reflect whatever is inside the person.
Without a doubt, the crucial factor in living the Christian life is the condition of your heart, because your inner attitudes determine who you really are. Those internal attitudes are also what God considers most important.
In this book, one of the most respected pastors and Bible teachers examines the fundamental attitudes or pillars of Christian character, as described in the Word of God. These pillars include genuine faith, obedience, humility, selfless love, forgiveness, self-discipline, gratitude, and worship, among others.
Each is an essential element of mature Christianity, but there is also transformative power when you practice them in your daily life as commanded by God. Thus your character will be based on piety and you will be able to see everything from an eternal perspective.
[Loving God] with all your heart, with all your understanding, with all your soul, and with all your strength, and loving your neighbor as yourself, is more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.--Jesus Christ (Mark 12:33)

En un mundo de divorcio, sexo casual y uniones homosexuales, la familia, en algún momento la base de nuestra cultura, se está convirtiendo en un asunto de incertidumbre y discusión. Entonces, cómo puedes tener un hogar feliz? Cómo puedes transmitirles una moral fuerte a tus hijos en un mundo que va mal? Siguiendo el plan divino de Dios para la vida familiar, escribe el maestro de la Biblia, pastor, padre y abuelo John MacArthur.
In a world of divorce, casual sex, and homosexual unions, family once the bedrock of our culture is becoming a matter of uncertainty and argument. So how can you have a happy home? How can you pass on strong morals to your children in a world going awry? By following God's divine plan for family life, writes Bible teacher, pastor, father, and grandfather John MacArthur.
The Bible stands at the heart of the Christian faith, but now more than ever many question its historical reliability and relevance for life today. In what may become the definitive contemporary evangelical resource on this foundational topic, John MacArthur and a host of pastors, biblical scholars, historians, and theologians defend the doctrine of biblical inerrancy from their various disciplines. With contributions from evangelical leaders such as Kevin DeYoung, R. Albert Mohler Jr., R. C. Sproul, John Frame, and Mark Dever, this comprehensive volume makes the case that God's Word is without error and therefore completely reliable. The contributors explore key Scripture passages, precedents for inerrancy in church history, theological responses to common challenges, and pastoral applications of the doctrine to everyday life.
Is architecture an art, like literature or music? Or is it more akin to science or engineering? Can buildings be artworks, just like paintings and sculptures, or does their fundamentally functional nature mean they cannot be considered pure works of art?
Questions of architecture, art, and aesthetics do not allow for simple answers. But by asking such questions, we can usefully reveal the ways in which the concepts and meanings of architecture have changed over the centuries, and how they continue to change in the contemporary era. Is Architecture Art? explores the key conceptual questions about the aesthetic appreciation of architecture and its persistently contested status as an artform. It engages the work of thinkers ranging from Hume and Kant to Adorno, Tafuri, and Rancière, and draws on accessible and thought-provoking accounts of historical and contemporary architectural and art theory. Taking novel approaches to issues that will be familiar to the practising architect, it shows how aesthetics and art theory can open up and illuminate architectural theory, issue by issue. Is Architecture Art? will provoke discussion and debate among architects and architectural theorists, and force a new understanding of the purpose of architectural practice in the contemporary era as the concepts of 'art', 'the arts', and of the creative economy have shifted and blurred as never before.

Nothing is more important than worship.
It is the theme of Scripture, the theme of eternity, and the theme of redemptive history-- to worship the true and living and glorious God is the purpose of all creation. So why do we treat it as only what is sung or played in church on Sunday morning?
Pastor John MacArthur leads you through Scripture texts about true worship. You will learn that worship is any essential expression of service rendered unto God by a soul that loves and extols Him for who He is. Worship is the nonstop role of believers, not merely part of a church service.
So get ready to alter your priorities, aiming higher than entertaining worshipers on Sunday mornings. Worship shows that your ultimate priority must always be to worship the true and living God, with a radically different type of living.

It is absolutely essential that a church perceive itself as an institution for the glory of God, and to do that--claims John MacArthur--the local church must adhere unfalteringly to biblical leadership principles.
Christ never intended church leadership to be earned by seniority, purchased with money, or inherited through family ties. He never compared church leaders to governing monarchs, but rather to humble shepherds; not to slick celebrities, but to laboring servants.
Drawing from some of the best-received material on church leadership, this updated edition guides the church with crucial, effective lessons in leadership. This book is valuable not only for pastors and elders, but for anyone else who wants the church to be what God intended it to be.
