9Marks wants to help all of us once again cast our eyes toward the eternal-toward heaven. After a tough year like this one, we need to recalibrate. We need reminding of what's of first importance, lest we lose our way. Maturity, you might say, can be measured in time horizons. Toddlers see a couple seconds into the future, children to the weekend, teenagers to their college years, young adults to their retirement. Saints, however, are the ones whose gaze should stretch into eternity. Qu tanto pensamos acerca del cielo? Qu tanto anhelamos el cielo? Qu tanto ense amos y predicamos acerca del cielo? Quiz s, a diferencia de nuestros hermanos puritanos, vivimos en una poca en la que poco se me dita, se ense a y se canta acerca del cielo en nuestras iglesias locales y discipulados personales. El cielo es el lugar donde Dios habita de manera especial en toda Su gloria, majes tad y esplendor (Mt. 6:9). El cielo no es un lugar de ficci n El cielo es una realidad. El cielo es nuestro hogar verdadero. Revista 9Marcas acerca del cielo para recordarnos la esperan za que tenemos en Cristo de estar para siempre con l en nuestro permanente hogar. Anhelamos que los pastores, maestros y l de res de nuestras iglesias locales a lo largo del mundo de habla hispana recuerden el cielo y trabajen en ense ar y apuntar a sus congrega ciones a nuestro eterno hogar.

The men whose stories appear in this book made up a network of pastors. Through personal contact, or influence, or by reading each other’s books, they were bound together in a spiritual brotherhood. They shared a common burden to see God glorified, his Son magnified, and his Spirit honoured by wholesome and practical biblical preaching, wise pastoral counselling, church and family strengthening, and faithful Christian living. Haste and Parker introduce us to these men, their theology, and the lessons we can learn from them.

Are you ever disappointed in your spouse? Do you fight? Do you disagree about money, sex, or in-laws? What if the very struggles you are facing were addressed by thoughtful Christians hundreds of years ago?In Held in Honor, you will find 50 devotional reflections on marriage carefully selected from 2,000 years of church history. Alongside each inspiring historical quote is a brief introduction to the person quoted and an accompanying biblical reflection.You are not alone in your marriage. The Lord has provided encouragement, correction, and hope in his Word. Held in Honor aims to strengthen you by pointing you to the promises of God's Word and by showing you how past generations have applied this life-giving message to their own marriages.
