Future Grace with John Piper (DVD)

TylerJohnson — Wed, 15 May 2013 19:41:54 +0000

In this DVD version of his foundational book Future Grace, John Piper reveals how the journey to freedom in the Christian life requires a deeper awareness of the expansive reach of God and his extraordinary grace. Victory over sin comes not from a herculean effort to avoid worldly pleasures, but through fixing one’s focus on the reality that God is far more desirable than even life itself. His grace is not only past, but future.

This video taps John Piper’s biblical understanding on how a life of purity can be recovered through the power of God’s future grace–streaming into our present through faith. Delighting in the bounty of God’s promises frees us from sinful patterns, to the glory of Christ!

In ten sessions Piper teaches on:

A Passion for Holiness
Justification by Faith and the Necessity of Perseverance
What Is Faith?
The Crucial Function of Bygone Grace
The Role of Gratitude in Producing Obedience
How Faith in Future Grace Produces Radical Love
Future Grace Versus Anxiety and Covetousness
Future Grace Versus Lust, Bitterness, and Impatience

Recorded in HD, these video sessions are ideal for use in adult and youth Sunday school classes, small groups, retreats, classrooms, and families.

IndoctriNation (DVD)

JerryJohnson — Thu, 09 May 2013 11:28:47 +0000

Indoctrination: To instruct in a doctrine, principle, ideology, etc., esp. to imbue with a specific partisan or biased belief or point of view.

“IndoctriNation” is a 90-minute documentary film that takes the audience on a panoramic exploration of one of the most important and controversial issues in the history of mankind, the issue of education.

Traveling all over America with his family in a big yellow school bus and conducting a series of candid conversational interviews, Colin Gunn, a Scottish filmmaker, actor, and homeschool father of seven children living in Texas, is on a quest to discover the origins of our modern educational system.

What he discovers is a masterful design that sought to replace God’s recipe for training up the next generation with a humanistic, man-centered program that fragmented the family and undermined the influence of the Church and its Great Commission.

Part documentary, part testimonial — a confessional and a rebuke, this film is above all a challenge and an encouragement to millions of Christians who need to know what history, experience, and the Scriptures have to say about what is perhaps the pivotal issue of our time: the discipleship and training of the next generation.

• Why is the Mass called a sacrifice?
• Can a priest “re-present” Christ on the altar?
• How did the early church view the “Eucharist”?

Was the sacrifice of Christ a “once for all” event or is it to be repeated over and over as in the Roman Mass?

Puritans Made Easy by Dr. W. Gary Crampton

TylerJohnson — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 14:42:27 +0000

The genius of Puritanism, as Peter Lewis has called it, rests, first and foremost, in the fact that the Puritans saw all of life as under the dictates of Holy Scripture, the infallible, inerrant Word of God. Above everything else, the Puritan movement was a Bible movement. Scripture was the axiomatic starting point of the Puritan worldview. All of life is theocentric and sacred; it is to be lived coram Deo (“before God”). And the goal of life, according to the Puritan understanding of Scripture? Is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.

“If you desire to learn more about the Puritans, then this book by Dr. W. Gary Crampton is a great place to start. Sweet and simple each chapter brings to light the heart and soul of the Puritans; what they believed, taught and perhaps most importantly, how they lived.” — Ed Walsh, President, Center for Reformed Theology and Apologetics

“Clear and concise! Dr. Crampton does another outstanding job in this latest installment of the Made East series by NiceneCouncil.com.” — Dr. Kenneth G. Talbot, President, Whitefield Theological Seminary

Note: This book was previously published under the title “What the Puritans Taught.”

This program covers the 16th century Swiss Reformation, its key centers of Zurich and Geneva, and its central leaders, Zwingli and Calvin—two theologians who led tumultuous lives. Zwingli questioned major teachings of the church and instituted sweeping reforms. He sought to apply the Word of God for the transformation of civic and church life. Calvin laid the foundation that made Geneva a unique international center. He wanted only the quiet life of a scholar but was thrust into a critical role in Reformation and theological leadership.

Lies That Silence Christians (DVD)

TylerJohnson — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 16:08:18 +0000

Lies That Silence Christians is an essential DVD that exposes many of the false claims made about Christian civic engagement. The lies include statements like “the separation of church and state is in the Constitution,” “Christians and politics don’t mix,” and “you can’t legislate morality.” One lie even asserts that churches need to become more “accommodating” in order to appeal to the culture. On this insightful program, experts debunk these lies and help believers understand their duty to stand for Christ in all areas of our culture.

How True is Your View? (DVD)

TylerJohnson — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 16:00:45 +0000

How true is your view? Your worldview, that is.

Dr. Del Tackett, co-host of the “Cross Examine” television program, explains on How True is Your View? that your worldview is your set of truth claims on issues like who you are and how the world came to be. Worldview is what drives your actions, thoughts, and emotions — every aspect of your life.

And just like a jigsaw puzzle, which has hundreds of pieces that fit together into a lovely picture, a worldview has many individual truth claims about reality. But when those claims are not true to how God made the world, the pieces don’t fit and the picture is anything but pretty.

This is War: Word of Faith & Reformed Theology (DVD)

TylerJohnson — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 17:25:25 +0000

Note: DVD will arrive in white sleeve.

The Word of Faith movement permeates much of Christian television today and has made people like Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland and others well-known. Join Saiko Woods, reformed pastor of His Word His Way Fellowship Church, and Fred Price Jr., pastor at Crenshaw Christian Center and son of Frederick K.C. Price, as they sit down for a candid, face to face conversation. These two men have a wonderful, uncscripted, gracious, but forthright discussion of their contrasting beliefs. In the words of Dr. John MacArthur, “The dangers of the Word of Faith Movement are as real as they are pervasive. The message from thousands of pulpits is that God wants you to be happy, healthy, and rich. But this is not biblical Christianity.”

Riddles in Stone FREE (Must Pay S&H)

NOTE: LIMITED QUANTITY AVAILABLE. DVD WILL ARRIVE IN WHITE SLEEVE. SHIPPING AND HANDLING MUST BE PAID FOR DVD. U.S.$5.95 – INTERNATIONAL $12.95

Riddles in Stone: The Secret Architecture of Washington D.C. is the second installment of the Secret Mysteries of America’s Beginning series. This documentary explores the highly controversial subject of the design of America’s capital. Was the city built to reflect the majesty of America’s newfound freedom? Or the hidden agenda of secret societies? With every major cornerstone laid by Freemasons, was the city built in a Masonic pattern? Embark upon this incredible journey as Riddles in Stone interviews experts on both sides of the heated debate. Watch as Freemason apologists defend some of the most direct and hard-hitting questions concerning the influence of Masonry in America, and its symbolism in Washington, D.C.

Alongside them are leading researchers who maintain that occult architecture permeates the city, and conceals a secret agenda. Was D.C. laid out according to the pattern of the stars? Is there really a pentagram in the street layout north of the White House? Does a Masonic square and compass extend from the Capitol building to the Washington monument? And why is the city filled with zodiac symbols, mysterious faces, and various god and goddess images? If America was founded as a Christian nation only, where are the images of Jesus Christ? Or does Washington D.C. symbolize another Christ, the Masonic Christ?

“ave you ever wondered about the symbols and architecture in Washington D.C? What do they represent? Did Freemasons have any influence? Riddles in Stone addresses these questions. Experts from both points of view provide detailed information that tells a very compelling story about Americas’ capitol. After seeing Riddles in Stone, your view and understanding of Washington D.C. will be changed forever.” — Timothy Wright
