All my books can be read online free at wayneodonnell.com. “Freely you have received, freely give” (Mt. 10:8). The salvation God provided to us in Jesus (Yeshua in Hebrew, which means ‘salvation’), is comprised of both spiritual and physical parts. Justification and sanctification are spiritual; but glorification, like also resurrection, is physical. God’s workings with Israel are also in the physical realm, the realm where genealogies matter. “The book of the genealogy of Jesus Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham,” Mt. 1:1. So much misinterpretation of scripture, like that of Reformed Theology, is due to their felt need to leave the principle of literal interpretation of scripture because of their failure to differentiate between things like personal spiritual salvation and national physical salvation. The Bible often focuses on spiritual and physical salvation in separate books and passages. For example, Romans 1-8a, Romans 12-16, and 1 John, focus on spiritual salvation. Ezekiel 40-48, the Gospel of Matthew, and Romans 8b-11, focus on physical salvation. Expository surveys of these two sets of passages comprise the content of this book. Physical Salvation: “The glory of Jehovah came into the temple, ... and He said, ... ‘This is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever,’” Ezekiel 43:4-7. Spiritual Salvation: “Except a man be born again, he can’t see the kingdom of God,” John 3:3. Spiritual Salvation: “Having been justified by faith, we have had our access ... into this grace wherein we stand;” Physical Salvation: “and rejoice in hope of the glory of God,” Romans 5:1-2.

God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6 This book is a cry from the heart of John Piper. He is pleading that God himself, as revealed in Christ's death and resurrection, is the ultimate and greatest gift of the gospel. None of Christ's gospel deeds and none of our gospel blessings are good news except as means of seeing and savoring the glory of Christ. Forgiveness is good news because it opens the way to the enjoyment of God himself. Justification is good news because it wins access to the presence and pleasures of God himself. Eternal life is good news because it becomes the everlasting enjoyment of Christ. All God's gifts are loving only to the degree that they lead us to God himself. That is what God's love is: his commitment to do everything necessary (most painfully the death of his only Son) to enthrall us with what is most deeply and durably satisfying-namely, himself. Saturated with Scripture, centered on the cross, and seriously joyful, this book leads us to satisfaction for the deep hungers of the soul. It touches us at the root of life where practical transformation gets its daily power. It awakens our longing for Christ and opens our eyes to his beauty. Piper writes for the soul-thirsty who have turned away empty and in desperation from the mirage of methodology. He invites us to slow down and drink from a deeper spring. "This is eternal life," Jesus said, "that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent." This is what makes the gospel-and this book-good news.

The Christian life is built on three seemingly unremarkable practices: reading the Bible, prayer, and fellowship with other believers. However, according to David Mathis, such “habits of grace” are the God-designed channels through which his glorious grace flows—making them life-giving practices for all Christians. Whether it’s hearing God’s voice (the Word), having his ear (prayer), or participating in his body (fellowship), such spiritual rhythms of the Christian life have the power to awaken our souls to God’s glory and stir our hearts for lifelong service in his name. What’s more, these seemingly simple practices grant us access to a host of spiritual blessings that we can only begin to imagine this side of eternity—and the incredible joy that such blessings bring to God’s children today.

Have you ever asked yourself what changed when you were "born again?" You look in the mirror and see the same reflection - your body hasn't changed. You find yourself acting the same and yielding to those same old temptations - that didn't seem to change either. So you wonder, Has anything really changed? The correct answer to that question is foundational for receiving from God. If you lack this basic understanding, you'll forever ask yourself doubt-filled questions like: "How could God love somebody like me?" and "How can I possibly expect to receive anything from the Lord? I don't deserve it, I'm not good enough!" Spirit, Soul, and Body will help you eliminate those and other doubt-filled questions that destroy your faith. If you have trouble receiving from God, this is a must-read!

‘Saved and Healed’ seeks to remind you that divine healing for your body and mind is the will of God the Father and part of the redemptive work of Jesus. You are encouraged to receive it for yourself when you are unwell, minister and preach it to others with the same faith with which you received salvation because by Jesus’ stripes you are healed. (Isaiah 53:5). ‘Saved and healed’ is a powerful life-changing reading as well as training book that is designed to equip you for healing miracle evangelism for the end time harvest. The reflection question format makes ‘Saved and Healed’ a valuable resource for group experience. It is an easy read with short interesting human stories that drive home the main points of each chapter, which is one of the things that distinguish this book from the books of similar nature. Before you finish this book, you can begin to operate in a new level of boldness and authority over satan and sickness; fresh enthusiasm and strong faith to get out and do the works of Jesus with a burning desire for more intimacy with the Holy Ghost because of the fresh insights that ‘Saved and Healed’ provides.

When Jesus said to the Jewish leader Nicodemus, "You must be born again," Nicodemus asked in astonishment, "How can these things be?" Some two thousand years later, people are still confused about the term "born again," though more people than ever claim to have had the experience. In this booklet, Dr. R.C. Sproul cuts through the confusion and carefully explains what it means to be born again. Dr. Sproul affirms that the new birth is essential for salvation and goes on to show that this regeneration is a sovereign work of God in our hearts. The Crucial Questions booklet series by Dr. R.C. Sproul offers succinct answers to important questions often asked by Christians and thoughtful inquirers.

My dear brothers, sisters, and friends in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Christ in me has given me a specific talent for expounding upon His word. He continues to use my talent in teaching others the most valued message that will ever be heard on this earth. I have done the best that I know to do with what God has given me to work with on the present understanding He has given me. This book is intended to teach you the truth of God that is being withheld from you by this world's deceived Christian religion around the world. Whether it is by way of their spiritual ignorance or by omission, by purposefully failing to teach it, in either case I am exposing them all to you as the tools that Satan has been using since Christ was here on earth, in teaching us the real and factual truth of God. Somehow, God has put this book in your hands. It is my hope and prayer that you will find it useful and are able to glean from it the message it contains. It is not by any accident that you have this book in your hand and are reading these words at this moment in time. If these words mean nothing at all to you, it is either because I have not done a credible service in my over half century of study in searching and seeking out the truth of God to impart to others, or God simply is not calling you at this present time. But that in no way diminishes His unconditional love, care and concern for you and your physical life here on earth. The truth is, if God is not calling you at this time, you cannot come to Him. On the other hand, if you have found something within this book that uplifts, encourages, motivates and you feel a sensation as if some unseen force is drawing you into a seemingly brighter outlook on life and the time you are spending here on earth, God may very well be calling you. Then what you do, is your own decision to make. You do not need me or any man to teach you, the Holy Spirit of God will lead you into all truth. If you are looking for a way to get started in acquainting yourself with the word, the way, and the truth of God, you are welcome to visit our website www.thetruthstandsout.com, It is free of any charge of any kind.
