According to the Bible, the doctrine of baptism is elementary to the Christian faith. This means even immature Christians should understand it. However, different points of view about the sacrament of baptism have persisted in the church for hundreds of years. It is the hope of the author that the Holy Spirit will use this booklet to help you in your study of Scripture concerning the elementary principal of baptism.

Christian parenting. It can sure be a challenge! I recall reading a “Peanuts” comic strip, in which there was a conversation between Lucy and Charlie Brown. Lucy said that life is like a deck chair: Some people place it so they can see where they are going; some place it so they can see where they have been; and some place it so they can see where they are at present. Charlie Brown replied: “I can’t even get mine unfolded.” That’s the way many Christian parents feel in their attempt to raise Christian children in a non-Christian world. No doubt about it. Christian parenting can ...

I was raised Catholic. You can all bless me now. Surviving a Catholic upbringing is a lot like surviving a repetitive hurricane. Just when you think you’ve got enough protection from the danger someone (Usually my Mother) throws a curve ball of Catholic guilt at you and you’re stuck trying to remember if it is a sin or not, whether it requires a confession, and the amount of shame you should feel. It’s like dodging the hurricane all over again. Depression runs a rough shot in the Catholic religion and trust me, I know why. Happiness is frowned upon.

An Amazing, and thought-provoking book. When you are the brunt of "racism" from every other race of people, you want to know “why”? – for it is only a difference in skin color, so why?

And He does so by carefully walking the reader through the finest details of who they are, and why they are different. God, Himself, personally provides answers to all of the questions that have baffled Black people all their lives, and He ...

Kevin Schoeppel, a seventeen year old Christian boy, tries to make conversation with fifteen year old Tami, while the two are on a church youth retreat together. The conversation takes an unexpected turn for Kevin when Tami tells him that she already knows the future, and tells him what’s going to happen. When three weeks have passed, and all of Tami’s predictions have come true, a very awestruck Kevin is filled with questions. He begins by asking Tami how she knows the future. She replies, “I don’t know. I just know.” Kevin then turns to one of the youth leaders in his church for...

“These be the names of the mighty men whom David had…” (II Samuel 23:8) At the end of his life, David recorded a list of his soldiers that went above and beyond the call of duty in their service for him. There were thirty-seven men whose names were recorded in II Samuel 23, and over fifty men in I Chronicles 11. These men served David with love and zeal, and it was David’s intention to have them remembered. In this study of the Mighty Men of David, I have endeavored to look at them exactly as they appear in the Bible. I have listed all of the facts that are available to give the ...

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. Proverbs 14:12 Jesus said, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:25-30 Knowing the Truth matters. Being a follower of the True Faith matters eternally.

In the Bible, Chapter 13 of Revelation describes the rise of three beasts. The first is the general beast itself; second is the one described as the first beast; third is the one given the name of the second beast. All are given power by Satan. One of the beasts, that first beast the antichrist, no longer exists. He was killed in 632 A.D. The other two beasts are alive and well; they grow stronger every day to destroy all that is good in Christianity and America. The second beast has recently assembled his vast army of Useful Idiots to advance his insidious charge from Satan. This book is a...

The beginning of the Book of Revelation when Apostle John is preparing to write those letters to the seven churches in Asia includes this verse from Christ: “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophesy, and keep those things which are written therein; for the time is at hand.” This inference is toward all people not just to those of those seven churches. Then, verse 19 gives the time-inclusive prophesy. It’s Christ’s instruction to John: “Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter.” ...

Are the beasts described in Revelation really beasts? Are these fierce animals with long sharp claws, pointed tails, and eyes glowing with fire? Why does Apostle John use the word ‘beast’ so many times in his writing of Revelation? This book answers these questions. Many beasts are mentioned in the Book of Revelation. Some sound fierce and horrible; and in most cases they are not describable. The word beast or beasts is used in situations that do not really sound as if they actually are real beasts. Ordinarily, the descriptive word beast does not describe a real beast. In most cases the...

Passover holds immense significance in Jewish life, deeply rooted in history and shaping Jewish identity. This celebration has been enriched by diverse Jewish communities worldwide, who have added their own unique customs and traditions.

The Passover sacrifice, foreshadowing a greater event, symbolizes freedom from eternal death through the Messiah's sacrificial blood. In the absence of a Temple, Rabbinical law replaced the sacrifice with the seder ...

There is one Name given among men by which we must be delivered (Acts 4:12). It is a Hebrew Name, not English, Latin, or Greek. This Name is being widely discovered - but due to inaccuracies it is found in wildly different transliterations. This booklet will arm a researcher with the alphabet and language skills to teach it to anyone with great simplicity. It addresses commonly-held misunderstandings handed-down from former generations who despised the Hebrew language, and firmly believed Latin and Greek were the inspired languages. Letters like W or J have only existed in recent centuries,...

Tithing and offering are deeply biblical practices that have played a central role in Christian understanding and practice throughout history. They are seen as acts of worship, expressions of faith, and means of supporting the work of the Church. While their specific implementation may vary among different Christian denominations, the foundational principles of stewardship, generosity, and support for God's work remain a shared part of Christian belief and practice.
