And of course, all the books in the world won't help you restore America, especially when they don't tell you what you can actually do, and do now! Every four years, Americans line up at their local polling places to cast their ballots for President. Most of them believe this is the most important vote they make -- the very essence of their voice in American politics. Yet, while they haggle over which party’s middle man will sit in the White House, the civil government continues its unimpeded invasion into the personal lives of every citizen.

For far too long Christians have allowed unbelievers to pretend to be the judge and jury in the debate over the Christian faith. But God is the true judge. And apart from the Christian worldview, debates over any truth claim would not be possible. It is the Christian worldview alone that makes sense of those things necessary for reasoning: laws of logic, reliability of the senses, and the capacity of the human mind to be rational. In a chance universe, none of these things would make sense, and knowledge could not exist. The very fact that debate is possible is proof of the Christian worldview. But this isn’t just theoretical. Sye takes it to the streets, and shows that unbelievers could not know anything at all if their professed worldview were true. It is delightful to see the “lights come on” when an unbeliever realizes that his professed worldview just doesn’t make any sense.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: 'Myriad Pro'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: 'Myriad Pro'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Myriad Pro'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\"Sye also shows the method in action in a radio debate setting. The unbelievers simply cannot answer even basic questions of truth on their own professed worldview. The fact that unbelievers do know things demonstrates that in their heart-of-hearts, they really do know God. But they have suppressed that truth in unrighteousness, just as Scripture teaches (Romans 1:18-20). If all Christians began defending the faith the way the Bible tells us to, recognizing Christ as our ultimate authority, it wouldn’t take long at all to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:18-20.)\" -\u003cstrong\u003e Dr. Jason Lisle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;\"\u003eComplete Set includes:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;\"\u003e• DVD with 6 cinematic lessons\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;\"\u003e• Study guide \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;\"\u003eProduced by \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/americanvision.org\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAmerican Vision\u003c\/a\u003e in association with \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/crownrights.org\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCrown Rights Media\u003c\/a\u003e.

Whether coming from skeptics, atheist, leftists, cults, or even other Christians, poor logic and dubious reasoning deserve exposure and correction. In his new book, Biblical Logic, Joel McDurmon returns to Gods Word to recover logic and critical thinking from the hands of the enemy, and to expose the fallacies of unbelief and unbiblical ideas.\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003eBut is the Bible really the place to turn for logic? Is not logic the domain of scholars and philosophers? The British philosopher John Locke long ago answered this common misconception: God has not been so sparing to men to make them barely two-legged creatures, and left it to Aristotle to make them rational. In other words, logic existed and people reasoned and used the critical faculties of their minds long before any philosopher came along to teach about it. God created logic and reasoning as He created man, and He created it for man, and therefore we should find it reasonable that God's Word has something to say-- if not a lot to say-- about logic, rationality, and good judgment.\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003eChrist has made us priests and kings (Rev. 1:6). He has determined that His saints shall judge the world, and even judge angels (1 Cor. 6:23), and He has thoroughly equipped us to perform these tasks. God's Word sets the standard of reasoning and law by which we shall judge, and the Bible teaches us this standard we must follow and to which we ourselves must give account. This new book, Biblical Logic, returns to God's word to find that standard, and to recover the God-given directives for faithful logic and critical thinking. By this standard, and by this example, God's saints, you can indeed discern and judge the world as God has commanded.\u003cstrong style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/span\u003e  Joel McDurmon, M.Div., Reformed Episcopal Theological Seminary, is the Director of Research for American Vision.

He goes where few commentators have gone before. As he shows in page after page of tightly argued points, there is a unity to the prophetic message of the gospels and the rest of the New Testament. Itʼs about new wine in new wine skins. Everything about the old covenant was planned obsolescence. Jesus was always in view, from the first promise of a savior in Genesis 3:15 to the revelation that “the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” in Revelation 19:10. So much of modern-day prophecy commentary is an attempt to rebuild what was never meant to be rebuilt. The parables, as Joel makes abundantly clear, serve to show that the breaking down of the dividing wall was on the horizon for them and the world with the result that there would be “one new man” in Christ (Eph. 2:11–22). The destruction of Jerusalem and the dismantling of the templeʼs stones were a foregone conclusion because Jesus had always been the reality over the shadow (John 2:19). \u003cem style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003e- Gary DeMar\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; outline: none; line-height: 1.3; color: #010101; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/span\u003e  Joel McDurmon, M.Div., Reformed Episcopal Theological Seminary, is the Director of Research for American Vision.

The parties then relate within the context of this formal structure. Relating together within this legal bond is referred to as being “in covenant” with one another. The parties are connected through this legal bond. The bond is not one of being materially connected in any way. Neither is it of a magical or mystical connection unseen in Scripture. It is a legal connection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy then is this so important to understand? Because this is how God chose to link the unseen to the seen, the supernatural to the material or created order here on earth. This in no way diminishes the role of the Holy Spirit and his work within the hearts of men. It merely gives outward manifestation to the power of God’s Spirit. It is also important to note that this is in direct opposition to some mystical religions, which reject a Creator in favor of the sovereignty of man and nature. They view the connection with God as a chain of being throughout all things. The Christian confesses a wholly separate, sovereign God that is over his creation. He chose to relate to this creation through covenant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor John G. Crawford changes the discussion on a host of issues ranging from the Covenant institutions as they relate to the Family, the State and the Church. From creation to infant baptism, Crawford connects the dots and shows how understanding God's Covenant, explains everything. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author: \u003c\/strong\u003eJohn G.

Third, he targeted a different audience: readers of his business columns. This one targets Christians. (Orthodox Jews are invited to come along for the ride.) Fourth, ethics are placed at the heart of this analysis: the deliberate breaking of the window.

Modern economists do not share this view. In fact, it goes beyond this. They openly reject it. They proclaim economic analysis as value-free—this is self-deception. It is a variation of an ancient temptation: “Hath God said?” Yes, He has. “Thou shalt not steal.” There are negative sanctions attached to this commandment. These negative sanctions are both inherent in the economy and imposed by God on the economy. Our attention to this principle, especially in regard to intervention by the State, determines long-term economic growth or decline. It is time for Christians to be better-equipped for paying such attention.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications: \u003c\/strong\u003ePaperback, 241 pages | eBook and PDF downloadable formats\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"American Vision","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":32911653764,"sku":"HB1-NORT-ECON","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"eBook Download","offer_id":32911652676,"sku":"EPUB-NORT-ECON","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"PDF Download","offer_id":32911653636,"sku":"PDF-NORT-ECON","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blemished","offer_id":48404920336605,"sku":null,"price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0220\/1508\/products\/CEfront.png?v=1611238392"},{"product_id":"the-sovereignty-of-god","title":"The Sovereignty of God","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Sovereignty of God\u003c\/em\u003e by Arthur W. Pink is one of the most comprehensive studies on God’s decrees that are based on scripture alone; Sola Scriptura. Pink begins with a question in which every person needs to answer, and more especially those of the household of faith. “Who is regulating the affairs on this earth today—God or the Devil?” Pink continues with great insight and scripture references concerning God’s sovereignty in Operation, Salvation and Reprobation. He also addresses Human Responsibility, our attitude toward His Sovereignty and reflects on the Difficulties and Objections to this doctrine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn time past, present and future when practical preaching replaces doctrinal exposition of Scripture, an evil malady occurs and mankind reverts back to the lawless, listless and lustful condition whereby man determines what is good and evil; a denial of the Divine Rights of the triune God as expressed in ALL of scripture, starting with Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning, God . . .” This evil malady ceases when the Creator and Sustainer of Life is exalted to and revered as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

As you go forward remember, “For by Him were all things created, that are in Heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: and He is before all things, and by Him all things consist” (Col. 1:16–17).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGod’s Sovereignty is the very basis of Christian thinking, a presupposition in which every area of thought and life begin and end with God.
