«¿Está mi bebé en el cielo?».Esa es la pregunta másimportante que un padre o madre que sufre puede hacerse. Y aunque el pequeñosea el hijo de otra persona, la pregunta permanece: ¿Qué les sucede a losniños, a los no nacidos, los mortinatos o los infantes, cuando mueren? ¿Podemosesperar volver a verlos? ¿Podemos soltar el temor y la culpabilidad? ¿Puede elamor de Dios suavizar una herida tan desgarradora?Con autoridad bíblica y lacalidez del corazón de un pastor, el autor de éxitos de librería John MacArthurexamina el alcance de toda la Biblia y revela en este convincente libro elcuidado que tiene el Padre celestial de cada vida.«He estado sentada junto a la tumba de nuestra hija y nuestro hijo,y me he preguntado en voz alta si mi fe en que Hope y Gabriel están en el cielotiene algún apoyo bíblico sólido. John MacArthur ofrece verdad de la Palabra deDios que resuelve las dudas de cualquier padre o madre que sufre esta pérdida. Seguro en los brazos de Dios revela quela confianza del cielo para el hijo al que amas está basada en mucho más quemero sentimentalismo; está revelada en la Palabra de Dios, y refleja el propiocorazón de Dios».—Nancy Guthrie, autora de Aferrándose a la esperanza

Fuego Extraño escrito por John MacArthur, nos advierte sobre el peligro de ofender al Espíritu Santo con una adoración falsa. Desde la Palabra de la Fe hasta la Nueva Reforma Apostólica, el movimiento carismático está siendo consumido por las huecas promesas del evangelio de la prosperidad. Estos movimientos modernos han fomentado una preocupación malsana por supuestas manifestaciones del poder del Espíritu Santo. Hablando incesantemente acerca de los fenómenos, las emociones y la última moda o sensación. Parece que tienen relativamente poco (a veces nada) que decir acerca de Cristo, su obra de expiación, o los hechos históricos del evangelio. Al inventar un Espíritu Santo producto de imaginaciones idolátricas, el movimiento carismático moderno ofrece un fuego extraño, el cual le ha hecho un daño incalculable al cuerpo de Cristo. Es hora de que la iglesia evangélica se levante y recupere un enfoque adecuado de la persona y la obra del Espíritu Santo. La salud espiritual de la iglesia está en juego. Es la oración de John MacArthur que usted adopte una perspectiva bíblica sobre el Espíritu y sus dones, haciéndole rechazar ser víctima del engaño de las muchas falsificaciones espirituales, falsas doctrinas y milagros falsos que compiten por nuestra atención hoy. En este libro encontrará:Cómo enfrentar un avivamiento falsificado.La verdad del movimiento carismático.Historia del movimiento carismáticoLa perspectiva Bíblica sobre la obra del Espíritu Santo.Qué dice Dios acerca de los que tergiversan al Espíritu Santo.Cómo reconocer los dones falsos.Cómo redescubrir la verdadera obra del Espíritu.Strange FireStrange Fire by John MacArthur warns us about the danger of offending the Holy Spirit with false worship. From the Word of Faith to the new Apostolic Reformation, the Charismatic movement is being consumed by the hollow promises of the prosperity gospel. These modern movements have encouraged an unhealthy want for supposed manifestations of the power of the Holy Spirit. They talk persistently about phenomena, emotions, and sensationalism. They seem to have relatively little (sometimes nothing) to say about Christ, his work of atonement, or the historical facts of the gospel. By inventing a Holy Spirit, product of idolatrous imaginations, the modern Charismatic movement offers strange fire, which has done incalculable damage to the body of Christ. It’s time for the evangelical church to rise up and move its focus to a healthy perspective of the person and work of the Holy Spirit. The Spiritual health of the church is at stake. It is John MacArthur's prayer that you will adopt a biblical perspective about the Spirit and his gifts, and also that you won't be a victim of deception of many spiritual counterfeits, false doctrines, and false miracles that are calling for our attention today. In this book you will find:How to face a counterfeit revival.The truth behind the Charismatic movement.The history of the Charismatic movement.The Bible's perspective on the work of the Holy Spirit.What does God say about those who misrepresent the Holy Spirit.How to recognize false spiritual gifts.How to rediscover the true work of the Holy Spirit.

In Strange Fire, bestselling author and pastor John MacArthur chronicles the unsavory history behind the modern Charismatic movement.What would God say about those who blatantly misrepresent His Holy Spirit; who exchange true worship for chaotic fits of mindless ecstasy; who replace the biblical gospel with vain illusions of health and wealth; who claim to prophesy in His name yet speak errors; and who sell false hope to desperate people for millions of dollars?The charismatic movement has always been a breeding-ground for scandal, greed, bad doctrine, and all kinds of spiritual chicanery. As a movement, it is clearly headed the wrong direction. And it is growing at an unprecedented rate.From the Word of Faith to the New Apostolic Reformation, the Charismatic movement is being consumed by the empty promises of the prosperity gospel. Too many charismatic celebrities promote a “Christianity” without Christ, a Holy Spirit without holiness. And their teaching is having a disastrous influence on a grand scale, as large television networks broadcast their heresies to every part of the world.In Strange Fire, MacArthur lays out a chilling case against the modern Charismatic movement that includes:Rejecting its false prophets.Speaking out against their errors.Showing true reverence to the Holy Spirit.Clinging to the Bible as the inerrant, authoritative Word of God and the one true standard by which all truth claims must be tested.

In Strange Fire, bestselling author and pastor John MacArthur chronicles the unsavory history behind the modern Charismatic movement.

A COVER-UP OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS…Centuries ago, English translators perpetrated a fraud in the New Testament, and it’s been purposely hidden and covered up ever since. Your own Bible is probably included in the cover-up!In this book, which includes a study guide for personal or group use, John MacArthur unveils the essential and clarifying revelation that may be keeping you from a fulfilling—and correct—relationship with God. It’s powerful. It’s controversial. And with new eyes you’ll see the riches of your salvation in a radically new way. What does it mean to be a Christian the way Jesus defined it? MacArthur says it all boils down to one word: SLAVE“We have been bought with a price. We belong to Christ. We are His own possession.”Endorsements:"Dr. John MacArthur is never afraid to tell the truth and in this book he does just that. The Christian's great privilege is to be the slave of Christ. Dr. MacArthur makes it clear that this is one of the Bible's most succinct ways of describing our discipleship. This is a powerful exposition of Scripture, a convincing corrective to shallow Christianity, a masterful work of pastoral encouragement...a devotional classic." - Dr. R. Albert Mohler, President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary"John MacArthur expertly and lucidly explains that Jesus frees us from bondage into a royal slavery that we might be His possession. Those who would be His children must, paradoxically, be willing to be His slaves." - Dr. R.C. Sproul"Dr. John MacArthur's teaching on 'slavery' resonates in the deepest recesses of my 'inner-man.' As an African-American pastor, I have been there. That is why the thought of someone writing about slavery as being a 'God-send' was the most ludicrous, unconscionable thing that I could have ever imagined...until I read this book. Now I see that becoming a slave is a biblical command, completely redefining the idea of freedom in Christ. I don't want to simply be a 'follower' or even just a 'servant'...but a 'slave'." - The Rev. Dr. Dallas H. Wilson, Jr., Vicar, St. John's Episcopal Chapel, Charleston, SC

"Becoming a Christian means being sick of your sin, longing for forgiveness and rescue from present evil and future hell, and affirming your commitment to the Lordship of Christ to the point where you are willing to forsake everything. I've said it before and I'll say it again: it isn't just holding up your hand or walking down an aisle and saying, 'I love Jesus.'" --John MacArthurBest-selling author and pastor John MacArthur brings his deep knowledge of Scripture to this foundational subject. Step by step, he walks through the impact of God's sovereignty, our submission, the characteristics of holy living, and our assurance of salvation.

“Is the experience of God’s grace in your life a thrilling thing? Just thinking about the fact that God, by His own sovereign plan, decided to be gracious to me is overwhelming. There is nothing greater than receiving grace upon grace.” --John MacArthurSimple definitions can make grace feel like an obvious--even mundane--concept. Nothing could be further from the truth. Grace is the defining feature of the Christian faith. Once we understand how undeserving we are and how much favor we’ve been given, grace becomes shocking, thrilling, inspiring, and contagious.Best-selling author and pastor John MacArthur illuminates this profound concept with verse upon verse of Scripture.

"The greatest measuring rod of love in the life of a Christian may be forgiveness, because God showed His love to us in terms of forgiveness." --John MacArthurDoes anyone really want to forgive? Or admit that we need forgiveness? Whether we're giving or receiving, forgiveness is hard. It seems unfair. It feels unnatural. And as best-selling author and pastor John MacArthur demonstrates, forgiveness apart from Christ is unnatural. It is only as we understand our need, Christ's power and example, and what it reallly means to love that we can embrace two of the most liberating acts of love: forgiving and being forgiven.In The Truth About Forgiveness, you are taken through the Bible and encounter:Studies of key Bible charactersTheological instructionPractical application points and ideasInspiration to readily give and humbly receive forgiveness Forgiveness is a fundamental means by which we live out our faith daily.
