Repentance is not optional. It is not left to our choice whether or not we will repent, but it is an indispensable command. God has enacted a law in the High Court of heaven that no sinner will be saved except the repenting sinner, and he will not break his own law. No one can willfully continue in sin and expect to be covered by the blood of Christ. Even if all the angels stood before God and begged for the life of an unrepenting person, God would not grant it.

In Liberty Defined, congressman and #1 New York Times bestselling author Ron Paul returns with his most provocative, comprehensive, and compelling arguments for personal freedom to date. The term "Liberty" is so commonly used in our country that it has become a mere cliché. But do we know what it means? What it promises? How it factors into our daily lives?

Dr. Paul writes that to believe in liberty is not to believe in any particular social and economic outcome.

This New York Times best seller is the authoritative guide to comprehending what happened in the 2004 elections and understanding how progressive thinkers can wrest control of America's political dialogue away from the conservatives who have it now.

The political ideas that fully came together under the name “liberal” in the early 19th century—the ideas we often now refer to as “classical liberalism”—emerged out of major debates and developments from the late 1600s to the late 1700s. These were part of the broad European intellectual movement of that era that came to be known as “the Enlightenment".

What is Discipleship? This should be an important question for all believers as our Lord instructed us that we should “make disciples of all the nations” (Matthew 28:19). But we are seeing evidence that we as a church have failed to adequately fulfill this charge.

The essential beliefs of the Christian faith are those which are the sine qua non (literally, “without which nothing”), that if missing or denied Christianity ceases to be genuine biblical apostolic Christianity. The doctrines in this book are those developed by the early church—the long-standing historic essentials—and other doctrines developed over the long history of the church in response to false teachings. There are a few that are a response to worldly culture and values invading—infecting—the New Testament church. This work is a concise and relatively non-technical ...
