3 Priorities for a Strong Local Church

Revival yearnings are widespread in the church today, but Raymond Ortlund Jr. believes that we still need to give more attention to the Bible itself in the matter of authentic revival. One reason for this is that we need the discernment which only the Bible can give, to enable us to tell the difference between what's valuable and what's cheap. Otherwise we may squander our heavenly Father's good gifts.Another reason is that our expectations of God may be too small, our desires too shallow. The biblical vision of our God is breathtaking. We need to enlarge and deepen our grasp of what God can do - and what we must do.Dr Ortlund's ultimate aim is to persuade us that revival is a valid biblical expectation, and so to motivate us to pray that God will rend the heavens and come down in our generation. Above all, he wants us to be encouraged in God: we need never give up or give in, because he remains committed to the glory of his own holy name in this world.

El pastor Ray Ortlund llama a la pornografía el «papel tapiz del mundo», tan extenso que no puede ser evadido. Ningún hombre está exento de ser expuesto a ella. Entonces, ¿cómo pueden luchar por recuperar su dignidad? ¿Cómo pueden los hombres unirse para dejar de jugar defensiva y comenzar a jugar en la ofensiva contra la industria que crea la pornografía? La muerte de la pornografía consta de una serie de cartas personales a hombres jóvenes y llama a la generación entera a creer en su realeza dada por Dios y rechazar la degradante industria pornográfica. Al caminar juntos en honestidad, oración y activismo, los hombres pueden disminuir la industria pornográfica y sacarla a los márgenes de la cultura, estigmatizar su imagen, ahorcar sus demandas, revelar sus engaños y reducir sus ingresos. Los hombres que se juntan para liderar juntos el movimiento como campeones de la nobleza pueden construir un mundo nuevo donde todas las personas son dignificadas como nunca antes. The Death of Porn Pastor Ray Ortlund calls pornography the "wallpaper of the world"&#8213;so widespread that it can't be avoided. No man is free from exposure to it. So how can every man fight to get his dignity back? How can men band together to stop playing defense and start playing offense against the industry creating porn? The Death of Porn is a series of personal letters to young men, calling an entire generation to believe in their God-given royalty and to push back against the degrading porn industry. As men walk together in honesty, prayer, and activism, they can diminish the industry, pushing it out to the margins of culture, stigmatizing its image, choking its demand, calling its bluff, and reducing its income. Men standing together to lead the movement as champions of nobility can build a new world where all people are dignified as never before.

Isaiah is widely considered the deepest, richest, and most theologically significant book in the Old Testament. It is, without question, a profound statement by God about his own sovereignty and majesty spoken through his chosen spokesman, the prophet Isaiah.
In this accessible commentary on the book of Isaiah, Raymond C. Ortlund Jr. argues that Isaiah imparts a single vision of God throughout all sixty-six chapters. It is a unified, woven whole that ultimately shows that God saves sinners. He saves them from their own self-invented salvations, so that they can walk in the light of his love.
Ultimately, the message of Isaiah offers us a God-centered confidence that enables us to face anything while challenging us to trust God in new ways.

How does the church portray the beauty of Christ?
The gospel is a theological message. But this message also creates human beauty―beautiful relationships in our churches, making the glory of Christ visible in the world today.
In this timely book, Pastor Ray Ortlund makes the case that gospel doctrine creates a gospel culture. In too many of our churches, it is the beauty of a gospel culture that is the missing piece of the puzzle. But when the gospel is allowed to exert its full power, a church becomes radiant with the glory of Christ.
