More than ever, Christians need to know what the Bible actually teaches about parenting, and put it into practice.

Parents today seek answers from child experts, self-help books, or equally confused friends. But even the experts portray modern-day childbearing as a minefield strewn with psychological dangers and emotional hazards.

What the Bible Says About Parenting is not a book on child psychology, nor is it proposing a new parenting method. It is simply presenting the principles of biblical parenting with as much clarity as possible. John MacArthur, a leading expert...

The Lord did not come as a political deliverer or social reformer. He did not rally supporters in a grandiose attempt to "capture the culture" for morality or greater political and religious freedom. Rather, His divine calling was to rescue the lost souls of individual men and women from sin and hell.

In Why Government Can't Save You: An Alternative to Political Activism, author John MacArthur illustrates through Scripture that, regardless of the numerous immoral, unjuust, and ungodly failures of secular government, believers are to pray and seek to influence the world for...

La creencia popular acerca de Jesucristo es la de un hombre gentil y de buen caracter que camino en esta tierra, ofreciendo a sus seguidores pequenas ensenanzas de sabiduria. Pero a veces fallamos en reconocer que si bien Jesucristo ofrecio un mensaje de perdon, tambien hablo de una manera exigente y desafiante acerca de lo que significa ser un seguidor de Cristo.

En contraste con la superficialidad de muchas ensenanzas cristianas modernas, el doctor John MacArthur provee la verdad irrefutable de las ensenanzas y la vida de Jesus. En terminos simples y convincentes, el presenta...

We live in a society that has largely abandoned moral standards and Christian principles. Unkept campaign promises, false advertising, exaggerated tax exemptions, employee theft--compromise has become a way of life. Such moral concession has even invaded the church. Faced with an opportunity to proclaim Christ to unbelievers, we feel intimidated and keep silent. Or we water down God's Word on ethical issues at work or in our community to avoid rejection. Too often we prefer hypocrisy to integrity.

But God longs for His people to be different--to maintain a commitment to His...

Christ's divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness. --2 Peter 1:3

Pure Christianity needs no embellishment whatsoever. We find complete sufficiency in Christ and His provision for our needs.

But too many Christians have bought in to the notion that all the spiritual resources we gain at the moment of salvation are not adequate to meet the real needs in today's complex world.
