The Bible has served as the anchor of American culture from the earliest days of our founding. While connected to this anchor, our nation prospered like none before us. Today, our nation has disconnecting itself from the Bible, and we are adrift in a sea of relativism that threatens the very fabric of our society. Truth itself is now considered relative, and thus for all practical purposes, no longer exists. The Bible is dismissed as foolishness by a world growing more foolish every day.

Believers know the Bible is powerful—but how so? And how does God save people and transform lives through Scripture? Author and theology professor Jeremy M. Kimble integrates an evangelical doctrine of Scripture with a robust, coherent practice of engaging with Scripture. Behold and Become contends that the Bible, which is God's self-revelation, coupled with the Spirit, works to produce salvation and growth in godliness. Believers will see how sound beliefs about Scripture correspond with practices that allow for God's transforming work.

What is Covenant? In a biblical sense, it is a legal bond between two or more parties—“legal” meaning that each party makes a statement (confession) and agrees to specific terms, with consequences invoked on each party for failure to keep the terms. Why then is this so important to understand? Because this is how God chose to link the unseen to the seen, the supernatural to the material or created order here on earth. This in no way diminishes the role of the Holy Spirit and his work within the hearts of men. It merely gives outward manifestation to the power of God’s Spirit.

La iglesia fue fundada por el Señor Jesús para la propagación de su doctrina y del conocimiento de Dios sobre la tierra, Él dijo: «Enseñándoles que guarden todas las cosas que os he mandado» (Mateo 28:20).

Este libro es el resultado de muchos años de investigación bíblica y cotejo con innumerables escritos respecto a la doctrina cristiana pentecostal trinitaria.

What is anthropology? Anthropology comes from the Greek word anthropos which means man or humanity. Therefore, anthropology is the study of humans. It considers who we are and why we exist. In secular universities, the study is engaged primarily from a man-centered perspective; however, since God created humans and made them in his image, it is impossible to truly study humanity apart from God. It is from God that people derive their significance and purpose. Consequently, the study of anthropology is intensely practical. For us to know who we are and what to do with our lives, we must see ...

For you were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (Ephesians 5:8) You may know of it as the Golden Menorah, as the Golden Lampstand, or as (it is referred to in the KJV Bible) the Golden Candlestick. But by whatever name you choose to call it, this item of furniture serves as a beautiful representation of how the light of God is made manifest through His various earthly vessels – namely the written Word of God, Jesus Christ (the Word made flesh) and His Body (the Church). But how is this light accomplished? And what all is involved? The ...

One of the most important things you can do as a Christian is to know the attributes of God, since all the essential doctrines of the Faith flow from these important characteristics.We are magnifying who and what God is! As the church grapples with new and innovating ways to understand God’s nature, a flawed concept of God threatens to reduce not only the awe and majesty of the Almighty, but also the clear and crucial ontological (being) distinction between the Creator and creation, the eternal and temporal, and the infinite and finite.Open Theism (aka Free Will Theism, Neotheism, or ...

Christ Condemned is a critical examination of the fundamental doctrines of Christianity, following in the long tradition of employing philosophy to understand and defend the teachings of scripture. These doctrines are illuminated in 12 propositions first proven by reason, then by scripture. The scripture proofs not only demonstrate the doctrine itself, but also the reason for its truth. In a harmony of orthodoxy and reason, studied philosopher and theologian Julian Gress presents a beneficial and constructive work for those interested in philosophy and Christian doctrine.

The Book of God's Mysteries urgently delivers what John prophesied would come--the Little Book is here! After being misled by a large denomination, only God's truths were needed. For 42 months, He manifested: life-changing prophecies that are happening, expanded Knowledge of existing Wisdom, and a deep and coded Message, now prepared, for the world to continue in.

Imagine a life of street crime. What began as typical teen rebellion became cycles of dodging the police, nodding on the corner, and seeing your friends and loved ones shot or killed. Then someone tells you the truth - God loves YOU. Though you can barely believe it you do, because their voices bring hope of a better life. Like a child learning to walk, you stumble through life less and now you can run. As your life slowly changes for the better you begin to see and hear things that no longer ring true. You're learning for yourself that God's love for you is real, but the way you're being ...

Let my prayers be set forth before thee as incense ... (Psalms 141:2) What is it about the holy incense and the Golden Altar upon which it was offered that caused the psalmist to make this request? Perhaps there was an awareness of the numerous precepts that are hidden within the Altar's ministry, which is all about effective prayer. But how much do we actually know about it? For example, what are the various types of prayer? Are we praying properly, in a manner pleasing unto God? What qualifies as effective prayer and what does not? What type of mindset should we have? These questions and ...

One of Job's friends tells him, "Man is born for trouble as sparks fly upwards." The media talks about wars, famines, tsunamis, mud slides, rapes, murders, and untimely deaths from disease. Atheists point to these tragedies and claim that this proves God doesn't exist, or if He exists, He isn't good. Or, if He's good, He isn't powerful enough to do anything about it. In this excerpt from his book, "Solid Ground", Mr. Clay explains that the answer to this question isn't difficult for the Christian because this topic is explored deeply and with great wisdom in the Bible. God is both good and ...

En Vivir Su voluntad, Sebastián Franz aborda con maestría cómo glorificar a Dios en todo lo que hacemos y somos, cómo navegar por los ingredientes necesarios para vivir una vida guiada por el Espíritu Santo y cómo descubrir el propósito primordial de nuestra existencia. Cuando hablamos de cumplir y vivir la voluntad de Dios para nuestras vidas, para muchos se ha vuelto una carga o algo hasta imposible de encontrar, creyendo que, si erramos en la mínima decisión, nos salimos de la voluntad de Dios y así perdemos su guía y protección. Pero esto no es así.

Being miraculously normal is reflected in a being who is loving, caring, forgiving, enduring, and living in this present world. This book is the third in this series forming a trilogy and expounds on the Lord’s prayer in John 17 for all his people to become one - as one as the father and the son are one. In his prayer, he gave three gifts to accomplish the oneness of his people: eternal life, truth and his glory. When previously divided, even hostile people can become one in this present conflicting and confusing age.

What Do We Believe We live in a time where many want to avoid theology, thinking that it is not necessary for the Christian life. This cannot be further from the truth. Theology, the study of God, is necessary for every Christian to understand not only God but how He wants us to live. Theology is not something for the Ivory Towers. The deeper our theology; the deeper our love for God will be and our desire to live for Him. This book is a great systematic theology starter for new believers yet still has so much theology that it will quickly become a quick reference resource for many mature ...

Doctrinal deviation, degeneration, and denigration is a perilous path leading not to genuine unity of the Spirit, as posited by its propagators, but rather disunity with the Spirit, apostasy, perdition, and ultimately hell itself! An oft recited slogan in some segments of the church over the last few decades is: "We must agree to disagree without being disagreeable." In itself, the import of that pun has some merit.
