DOWNLOAD EBOOKI write this challenging message today to women who are or have been where I was -- unequally yoked. You and your spouse are not in the same place spiritually. Maybe you are saved, and he is not. Maybe you are both saved, but he does not seem to desire more of God than he has right now. Maybe you initiate every spiritual discipline that happens in your home, and he barely seems to pray. I have been there. I have cried the tears. I have quoted the scriptures. I have fasted and prayed without ceasing. I know what you are going through. But I also know that God is able to work amazing good out of terrible pain. I know that He is able to turn the craziest of situations around. Today, my husband and I serve the kingdom together, just as God intended, but I had to become a believing wife. I had to let God transform me. I pray that as you read the pages of this book you become the believing wife God called you to be!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat light does the New Testament shed on the practice of celibacy for the sake of the kingdom? In his newest work, renowned Scripture scholar Raymond F. Collins turns his attention to the question, which, of course, has important implications for the church in our own day. Though the answer is not a simple one, and it does not necessarily translate automatically into clear contemporary ecclesial policy, it still serves as an important foundation for discussion. Collins gives careful consideration of the methodology to be used in approaching the question and to important aspects of the sociocultural context of first-century Palestine, within which the New Testament took form. He then explores what Jesus said to the disciples, several disciples' own statuses as married men, and Paul's teaching and personal example on marriage. Raymond Collins has served the church through his thoughtful and scholarly exegetical work for decades. This latest work of his will long be counted among his best.
