Living with Confidence in a Chaotic World
In this updated edition of his classic book, New York Times bestselling author Dr. David Jeremiah offers biblically based, practical instruction for living a confident life in a world filled with chaos and crisis. Confidence can be hard to come by these days as millions of people experience immeasurable, unanticipated challenges. People are losing their jobs, their houses, and their life savings at an unprecedented rate. Violence, natural disasters, and moral depravity seem to be skyrocketing. In the midst of all this chaos, we need to know . . . what on earth should we do now? Bible teacher Dr. David Jeremiah brings a message of hope and confidence from the priceless counsel of the Word of God. If we rely on God's Word to advise us, calm us, and fill us with hope and trust in the One who understands what is happening, we can weather any storm. Dr. Jeremiah answers our most urgent questions, including: How can we weather this storm with a calm heart? What does it truly mean to “wait on the Lord”? What is Jesus saying to our chaotic world today? How on earth did we get into this mess? Can we take a broken world and rebuild it into something fruitful? Living with Confidence in a Chaotic World shows us all that with the power and love of Almighty God, we can live with confidence in this age of turmoil. Interested in learning more?

Demokratieförderung vs. Politische Bildung?
Demokratieförderung vs. Politische Bildung?
In den vergangenen Jahren sind Orte wie Clausnitz, Heidenau und Freital als Chiffren für fremdenfeindliche Gewalt deutschlandweit und auch international bekannt geworden, ebenso wie bereits zuvor die PEGIDA-Hochburg Dresden. Zu gewalttätigen Ausschreitungen in Chemnitz kam es im Sommer 2018 nach einer Auseinandersetzung, bei der ein Deutsch-Kubaner durch Messerstiche tödlich und zwei weitere schwer verletzt worden waren. Rechte und rechtsextreme Gruppen hatten aufgrund von Nachrichten zum Migrationshintergrund der mutmaßlichen Täter zu Demonstrationen aufgerufen. Im Internet wurden Falschinformationen verbreitet, wonach der Getötete eine deutsche Frau vor sexueller Belästigung durch Migranten beschützt habe. In der Folge kam es zu ausländerfeindlichen und antisemitischen Ausschreitungen, organisierte Rechte und Neonazis griffen tatsächliche oder vermeintliche Migranten, Gegendemonstranten, Polizisten sowie Pressevertreter und unbeteiligte Passanten sowie ein jüdisches Restaurant an. In den folgenden Tagen und Wochen gab es zahlreiche Demonstrationen und Gegenproteste. Mobilisiert hatten die rechtspopulistische Bürgerbewegung "Pro Chemnitz", die neonazistischen Parteien NPD, "Der III. Weg" und "Die Rechte", ebenso die Kameradschaftsszene, Hooligangruppen, PEGIDA und die Identitäre Bewegung. Der Verfassungsschutz Berlin sprach von einem "offenkundigen Schulterschluss" von Rechtsextremisten mit der AfD. Zu einer handfesten Regierungskrise wurden die Ereignisse von Chemnitz durch die Causa Hans-Georg Maaßen. Als erste Vertreterin der Bundesregierung besuchte Familienministerin Franziska Giffey die sächsische Stadt. "Sicherheit heißt nicht nur gute Polizeiarbeit, sondern Sicherheit heißt auch Prävention, heißt Jugendarbeit, heißt politische Bildung, heißt Engagement und heißt Zusammenstehen". Konkret wolle die Familienministerin deutlich mehr Geld für politische Bildung bereitstellen. Einige Tage später folgte im September 2018 die (erneute) Ankündigung eines Gesetzes zur Förderung der Demokratie. Dieses müsse klar machen: "Es ist auch die Aufgabe des Staates, die demokratische Bildung junger Menschen auf allen Ebenen zu organisieren". Das Programm "Demokratie leben!" sei hilfreich, aber man müsse fragen, wie man von Modellprojekten zu einer strukturellen Förderung komme, so Giffey. Das Programm "Demokratie leben! Aktiv gegen Rechtsextremismus, Gewalt und Menschenfeindlichkeit" des BMFSFJ startete im Januar 2015. Die Fördersumme für das Jahr 2019 beträgt nach signifikantem Aufwuchs insgesamt 115,5 Millionen Euro. Zudem ist ebenfalls seit 2018 das beim BMI angesiedelte und mit 100 Millionen Euro hinterlegte "Nationale Präventionsprogramm gegen islamischen Extremismus" in Kraft. Im Mai 2018 hatte Giffey angekündigt, "Demokratie leben!" nach 2019 zu entfristen. Diese Programme sowie das angekündigte "Demokratiefördergesetz" führen laut Benedikt Widmaier, dem verantwortlichen Redakteur dieser Ausgabe des JOURNAL, zu einem signifikanten Strukturwandel der non-formalen politischen Bildung in Deutschland und zu einer förderpolitischen Schieflage zwischen den Strukturen der genannten "neuen" und der "alten politischen Bildung", der mit den Förderungen der politischen Jugendbildung aus dem Kinder- und Jugendplan des Bundes (KJP) sowie der politischen Erwachsenenbildung durch die Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung (bpb) lediglich ca. 20 Millionen Euro zur Verfügung stehen. In dieser Ausgabe des JOURNAL wird der angesprochene Strukturwandel der politischen Bildung in verschiedenen Facetten diskutiert und eingeordnet.

GOD LOVES YOU will enable readers to know God in a way that will consciously connect them with the healing power of His grace so they can experience the life of love they were created to enjoy.

Will you be defeated by the forces of fear, confusion, and temptation? Or will you put on God's armor and overcome? The Bible promises us that we were created to be overcomers, no matter what the world throws at us. And we all know it's hard out there. Sometimes it feels like the world is ripping apart at the seams. In this six-session, video-based Bible study (DVD/digital streaming sold separately), beloved teacher Dr. David Jeremiah will unpack one of the most quoted but least understood passages of the Bible: the apostle Paul's call to the Ephesians to take up the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). In each session, you'll be introduced to one of the six pieces of armor, what each represents, and what they allow us to overcome: Belt of Truth Breastplate of Righteousness Shoes of the Gospel of Peace Shield of Faith Helmet of Salvation Sword of the Spirit When we are armed with God's armor, we receive God's power to face life's challenges and be assured of success. With his signature depth, wisdom, and compassion, Dr. Jeremiah explores the powerful relevance of spiritual armor as a critical tool each day as we confront the specific challenges in our lives and of our time. Sessions include: Overcoming Falsehood with Truth Overcoming Evil with Good Overcoming Anxiety with Peace Overcoming Fear with Faith Overcoming Confusion with Wisdom Overcoming Temptation with Scripture Designed for use with the Overcomer Video Study available on DVD or streaming video, sold separately.
