New in the Acclaimed Paideia Commentary Series Two respected senior New Testament scholars examine cultural context and theological meaning in Philippians and Philemon in this addition to the well-received Paideia series. Paideia commentaries explore how New Testament texts form Christian readers by attending to the ancient narrative and rhetorical strategies the text employs, showing how the text shapes theological convictions and moral habits, and making judicious use of maps, photos, and sidebars in a reader-friendly format. Students, pastors, and other readers will appreciate the historical, literary, and theological insight offered in this practical commentary.

<p><b>"Why do I still struggle if I'm faithfully following God?"</b></p><p>We all face challenges. On any given day, the problems of real life can take our breaths away. Our marriages, finances, relationships, and health are regular struggles, and that's just the beginning. Doesn't the Bible say the war has already been won? So why do we still battle?</p><p>In a down-to-earth, let's-get-real approach, popular Bible teacher Havilah Cunnington cuts through the confusion and shows us how to </p><ul><li>Discern whether we're dealing with battles within ourselves, resistance from God, or genuine fights with the Devil.</li><li>Throw off misconceptions about spiritual warfare, and understand what Jesus really said about our spiritual authority and the certainty we have in him.</li><li>Ask the right questions and build a realistic battle plan to win one day at a time.</li></ul><p>With humor and honesty, Cunnington lays out practical tools to thrive in the face of hardship, enabling us to walk forward in the confidence that, because of Jesus, we really are stronger than the struggle.</p>

<p><b>How can Christians pursue and implement the miraculous gifts of the Spirit without falling into fanatical excess and splitting the church in the process?</b></p><p>The Bible teaches us that we are to be filled with God's Spirit and that God's presence and grace is manifested among his people as they serve, love, and minister to one another. Yet some of the gifts that God offers to his people aren't commonly seen in many churches today. Gifts of prophecy, healing, tongues, and other supernatural gifts of God seem to be absent, and many Christians are unsure how to cultivate an atmosphere where God's Spirit can work while remaining committed to the foundational truth of God's Word.</p><p>In <i>Practicing the Power</i>, pastor and author Sam Storms offers practical steps to understanding and exercising spiritual gifts in a way that remains grounded in the word and centered in the gospel, including:</p><ul><li>Combining sound theology with inspiring personal examples.</li><li>Covering all kinds of practical and theological questions about using gifts.</li><li>Practical ways to express the compassion of Jesus to others by partnering with Him in spiritual gifts.</li></ul><p>With examples drawn from his 40 years of ministry as a pastor and teacher, <i>Practicing the Power</i> offers help to pastors, elders, and church members to understand what changes are needed to see God move in supernatural power and to guard against excess and abuse of the spiritual gifts.</p><p>If you long to see God's Spirit move in your church and life, and aren't sure why that isn't happening or where to begin, this book is for you.</p>

<p><b>A small church nestling deep in the countryside is instantly evocative.</b> Why is it there at all? Whom does it serve?

John Kinross provides the reader with descriptions of over 50 of the country's loveliest and most interesting churches and chapels, many of which have a fascinating history and their own unique features.
