The Ultimate How-To Guide: How to Display God's Character

[Editor's Note: The following article is an excerpt from What is a Healthy Church? (Crossway, 2007).]

I confess I’m not very good at practical things around the house--building bookshelves, wiring a stereo system, figuring out what all the buttons do on my telephone. I don’t even find most how-to guides helpful. Often I have to cast myself on the mercy and ingenuity of family members and friends.

God Talks: The Bible is God's True and Lasting Word

[Editor's Note: The following article is an excerpt from chapter one of Dr. Ware's forthcoming book Big Truths for Young Hearts: Teaching and Learning the Greatness of God (Crossway Books, April 2009). This book is a tremendous resource to help equip anyone working with children to teach the essentials of the Christian faith in an understandable, chapter-a-day format. Dr. Ware will be one of the featured speakers at the Children Desiring God National Conference April 30-May 2.]

Is Jesus the Only Way? (Matt. 22:1-14; John 14:5-6)

It may surprise you to know what many Americans consider to be the most serious sin. No, it’s not murder. Even murder can have mitigating factors. According to an article by Daniel Taylor in Christianity Today, many Americans consider the worst sin to be intolerance.
