ities are a blessing, not a curse. I would say, “Cities were a tool of God’s grace to help mankind deal with sin’s consequences”. Within the context of the first chapters of Genesis, cities are portrayed with an attitude of self-sufficiency, corruption, and rebellion. But the design of city living is clearly of God. John Dawson wrote[1]: Many Christians think cities are by nature evil places. If they were asked, they would say the city is a curse, not a blessing. However, that is not God's view. After all, the human story begins in a garden and ends in a city. I believe God intends ...

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God … And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us … (John 1: 1, 14) Very few Christians actually comprehend the depth of meaning contained within this text of Scripture. When John wrote that the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, he was saying much more than most of us have any idea. In this thorough yet easy-to-understand study, Isaac Dargan demonstrates that Jesus Christ truly is the Word made flesh, through the examination of the Brazen Alter – the first of six items of furniture contained within ...

Christianity and Judaism are two separate religions with two separate approaches to life. Nevertheless, these two religions have often operated in similar spheres, and Christians and Jews have interacted over the centuries. Tragically, even in more modern times, this interaction often culminated in Christian assaults on Jewish communities and forced conversions to Christianity. But this Christian anti-Judaism did not always exist. Originally, Christianity shared its history with Judaism. The first Christians were all Jews. The first Christians used the Jewish Scriptures as their sacred text...

It has been said the Roman Empire was used by God in the spread of the Gospel; the well maintained roads, safe passage by sea, relative peace and order. Yet, the influence of Roman power in the land of Christianity’s origin was largely the work of one man – not a Roman, not a Jew yet a friend of the Romans and king of the Jews: Herod the Great.

Extraordinary Love and Extravagant Generosity is a short book that describes my faith journey of “spirit and truth” (John 4:23), my understanding of the Bible as it relates to “understanding the times” (I Chronicles 12:32), my understanding of what the Bible says about the prophetic and how to discern truth from error or counterfeit, and how I believe that “extraordinary love” (I Corinthians 13) and “extravagant generosity” (II Corinthians 9:6) will be a powerful witness for salvation in the times that we live. The book includes: Chapter 1: My Personal Journey With the Holy ...

According to the Bible, the doctrine of baptism is elementary to the Christian faith. This means even immature Christians should understand it.

It is often said that “no one spoke more about hell than Jesus.” This book examines the words of the Savior of the World to see if that statement is true. What if the teaching that there is a place of never-ending punishment is the result of bad interpretations of things Jesus said? And what if the teaching that there is a “hell” was not passed on by the original disciples? Is never-ending torment consistent with what Jesus said about love and forgiveness?

The written word of mankind is a revelatory tool, offering insight into a person, place, or thing. When it’s used to express ideas about a person, the reader gains insight into that person’s character and, in some sense, comes to know that person. The Holy Bible is God’s written Word and a revelatory tool, offering insight into God’s attributes and thus revealing God’s character. Through studying His Word, a person can learn about Him and come to a greater understanding of His true identity.

Consider this: Are we the chosen generation, witnessing the world’s end? Could we be on the verge of eternity's dawn? How much more can society deteriorate before the return of Jesus Christ? Has the gospel truly reached every corner of the world? These questions, urgent and compelling, drive me to prepare for the soon return of Jesus Christ. The more I study Scripture and watch current events unfold, the more I realize how closer we are to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. We may be the generation that sees all these things come to pass. And since I believe we could be just moments away ...

God knows all things and there is nothing that is hidden from Him. Therefore, if the future is already in existence and is a settled reality then there is no doubt that God knows it exhaustively. Yet, what if the future does not exist as the past did and the present currently does? Is it necessary for an omniscient God to have exhaustive knowledge of a non-existent entity? In his book, "Is the Future Set in Stone?," Pastor Troy J. Edwards presents a thorough examination of the Scriptures, revealing the fact that the future is NOT in existence until it happens. This truth is important to ...

What we believe about God has an impact on how we live. It will shape how we raise our children, treat our spouses, deal with strangers, engage with coworkers, and carry out our ministry to the Lord and others. Therefore, this study is extremely significant. We believe that after completing this study, you will love God and your Bible even more, and that while you will continue to fear (reverence/worship) God, you will no longer be afraid of Him because you will realize that He is a loving God who is exactly like Jesus. And you will yearn to be just like Him.
