In 'The Didymus Contingency,' Jeremy Robinson crafts a thrilling narrative centered on the concept of time travel and its far-reaching implications. The story follows a group of scientists and adventurers as they navigate the complexities of altering the past and the potential paradoxes that arise. Infused with elements of science fiction and suspense, the book explores the moral dilemmas inherent in manipulating time. As the characters grapple with the consequences of their actions, they uncover hidden secrets and face unexpected threats. 'The Didymus Contingency' offers a thought-provoking exploration of causality, destiny, and the enduring human desire to control the unknown.
'Searching for God Knows What' explores the complexities of human suffering and our search for meaning in the midst of pain. Donald Miller combines personal anecdotes with theological reflections to examine why we experience hurt and loss. He challenges conventional understandings of suffering and encourages readers to embrace a more nuanced and compassionate perspective. The book delves into biblical narratives and invites readers to grapple with difficult questions about God's role in our pain. By weaving together storytelling and theological insights, Miller provides a framework for understanding and navigating the challenges of life with honesty and vulnerability.
This book identifies nine areas where Western cultural assumptions diverge from the cultural context of the Bible. Richards and O'Brien address issues such as individualism vs. collectivism, honor-shame cultures, and the importance of understanding implicit cultural norms in ancient texts. The authors aim to help readers reinterpret Scripture without imposing modern Western assumptions, thereby gaining a more accurate understanding of the biblical message.
The church isn’t a place to attend—it’s a people to belong to. If you’ve ever thought,
“I’ll join a group when I find the right people”—this conversation is for you.
In this episode of
Deepen, Pastor Joby, Pastor Britt, and Pastor Vinke dive into Acts 2 to unpack what the Bible really says about the church—and why it’s not about attending, but belonging. They explore the difference between biblical community and the consumer mentality so many of us bring to church today.
They unpack how salvation, baptism, community, and care mark a Spirit-filled church—and why the real miracle isn’t signs and wonders, but salvation itself. You’ll hear why following Jesus means following Him
with His people, and why your story matters in the family of God.
