The Necessity of Fathering In 1 Corinthians 4:15, Paul talks about how the Corinthians had thousands of instructors in Christ. However, they did not have many fathers like him to serve as a spiritual covering. Through four decades of experience in ministry, Bishop David A. Lazarus has seen up close the need for such spiritual fathering and mothering. Only through an appreciation for foundational biblical teaching and close relationships fostered in an atmosphere of mutual submission and accountability can the Church hope to develop into a spiritual powerhouse. This is the kind of house needed to usher in a worldwide revival in the 21st century.In Where Have All the Fathers Gone? Bishop Lazarus relates some of the troubles he endured when he tried to raise up spiritual leaders without these kinds of close relationships. And, the fruit that followed once he established this principle in training sons and daughters for ministry. This book includes a detailed exploration of the powerful example of Elijah and Elisha, and how the father enabled the son to do even greater things in ministry.
Why are we STILL OFF-BASE ABOUT RACE in the United States and the world?The question may seem simple, but its answer is more complex than many imagine. There are still enormous anger and confusion surrounding the issue of race in our culture. Why is it such a difficult matter to talk about? And why is racial justice so difficult to achieve? Evidence of the problem has become blatantly obvious; resolution of the problem still poses a challenge. In Still Off-Base About Race by Dr. Michael Reynolds, you will dive deep into the elaborate (and often chilling) history behind the fight for racial justice in America. From a pastor''s perspective, Dr. Reynolds enables you to take a look at the hardships and pain African Americans have suffered-and are currently suffering-in our nation.Dr. Reynolds addresses five topics that will open your eyes to the realities of (and solutions to) this national problem: Biology (how the term "race" came to be)Sociology (why race shouldn''t exist)Anthropology (how to be inclusive of all God''s children)History (from the early 1600s to present day)Theology (how we should look at race through God''s eyes)The war for racial justice has been waged for centuries and is yet to be won. Find out how this happened and-more importantly-why we are still off-base about race.
Is reconciliation possible?In his groundbreaking book, Walls Can Fall, Kenneth C. Ulmer explored the topic of race from a biblical perspective. Although the book recounted Ulmer's challenging, sometimes personal, and often painful journey into the reality of racism, he cast a positive vision that, in fact, the walls that divide the races can fall. In this accompanying study guide, Ulmer guides readers toward reflection on the biblical principles addressed in Walls Can Fall, and offers practical steps to make a difference in their individual spheres of influence, so they can become not merely hearers of the word of God, but doers.
