At a time when divisions among the churches are subject to attack, both from within and from without, the author has felt led to write doxologies, essays, and thoughts. These words are a call to action to all true believers in the Word of God, and can only create encouragement in the body of Christ.

Angels, Demons, and the Nephilim III surveys the New Testament, from the Gospels through the Book of Acts, with a focus on these enigmatic beings. In Books I and II, their origins, their interest in dominion or its usurpation, and their relation to the kingdom of God were outlined and studied. In the Gospels, the gods of Canaan fade into the background, and it is Satan himself who comes forward to challenge Israel’s Messiah. What of the gods of the nations that we encounter in the Old Testament? They become the Principalities and Powers in the New. Their strongholds of deception ...

Anthropologists have invariably engaged in their discipline as a form of redemption, whether to escape from social restriction, nourish their souls, reform their home polities, or vindicate "the natives". Redeeming Anthropology explores how in pursuit of a secular science sired by the Enlightenment, adherents to a "faith in mankind" have vacillated between rejecting and embracing theology, albeit in concealed and contradictory ways.

The Body of Messiah today is not seeing the type of spiritual outpouring that we read about in the book of Acts, even though we have access to modern buildings, transportation, and technology that Paul and Peter never even imagined. We have tools and resources far beyond what the early believers had, so common sense and simple statistics tell us that we should be accomplishing much more than they did. However, even with all of our advantages, the statistics provided by research groups tell us that the number of people who believe in Yeshua (Jesus) is on the decline. If this is true (and it ...

Exactly WHEN is the rapture? This book shows you the rapture and coming of Jesus Christ. The church at Thessalonica was one of the churches established by the Apostle Paul on his second missionary journey accompanied by Silvanus (also known as Silas). Paul and Silas arrived there immediately after they had been imprisoned and mistreated at Philippi (1 Thess. 2:2). They are accompanied by young Timothy. Paul preaches in the synagogue and won some converts for The Lord, along with a large number of Gentiles, including women. Zealous Jews formed a mob and pursued Paul and his companions, ...

The church is filled with people asking, "Is this it? Is this all the Christian life is supposed to be?" They long to experience more of God's presence - they just don't know how to get there. Some have been burned by "charismania." Others are fearful of it. Is there a way to experience the Spirit - without the weirdness? Author and pastor Alan Kraft provides a biblical pathway into the exhilaration of an everyday experience with the Holy Spirit, showing how normal it can be to hear God's voice, know his love, and walk in his power.

Will the Antichrist force people leave to the faith? This book examines the warnings of a yet future, great spiritual apostasy – the “great falling away” from the faith, that will occur in the final last days, before the return of Jesus Christ. Those warnings are clearly written, and as such, should be clearly interpreted and understood. This book will focus on the clarity of those warnings, and to demonstrate to the reader, how it is dangerous for believers to deny the warnings. The Bible is replete with warnings about falling away from the faith. It teaches us throughout, that ...

The Return of Christ. The Rapture. The Antichrist. The Tribulation. The last teaching of Jesus Christ until His death. He says it all. The Olivet Discourse, by Jesus Christ, is a straightforward description of the signs that lead up to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, the gathering of the church, and the start of the Day of the Lord. More specifically, it is a description of the events of the 70th Week of Daniel. It is the centroid of all prophecy about the eschaton. Yet, for some, the Olivet Discourse remains a source of complexity and confusion as they attempt to force it to fit their ...

FAIRACRES PUBLICATIONS 150 No-one has ever found a satisfactory answer to the question of suffering. Dr Körner has no slick answers, but wrestles honestly with the theological issues – not just from a theoretical point of view, but from personal experience of grave illness. Protesting against any notion of a God who keeps a score of rights and wrongs and who has to be appeased and ‘bought off’ through sacrifice and suffering, he preaches the God of unconditional love whom Jesus proclaimed and addressed as Abba, ‘dear Father’. The reader is pointed to Jesus, as a pattern and ...

The Book of Revelation, final and mysterious, stands as the crescendo of biblical scripture. Often read with fear, awe, or avoidance, it paints visions of dragons, beasts, plagues, and divine judgment. But what if Revelation is not just prophecy of the world's end—but a profound symbolic map of inner transformation, a psychological and mythological process seen through the eyes of the mystic? This book, Revelation and the Jungian Journey: The Inner Apocalypse and the Self's Awakening, attempts to interpret Revelation’s 22 chapters through a depth-psychological lens. Drawing from Carl ...

Este libro, "Crítica al Protestantismo", es un meticuloso y apasionante tratado de apologética católica que se sumerge profundamente en las creencias y prácticas centrales de la fe católica y su relación con el cristianismo primitivo, a la vez que examina críticamente las divergencias fundamentales con el protestantismo. A lo largo de sus páginas, el autor, un católico devoto y estudioso, despliega un análisis minucioso y reflexivo, apoyado por una extensa investigación que incluye tanto la Sagrada Escritura como escritos de los Padres de la Iglesia y la Iglesia Primitiva. El ...

Theology is meant to cause you to think unto God, and then, when the right understanding of God (and the good news) makes its way into your heart, theology is meant to cause you to rise up singing and praising him for who he is and for what he has done, and will do, in your life.

Fear and Trembling is a philosophical work by Søren Kierkegaard, published in 1843 under the pseudonym Johannes de Silentio (John of the Silence). The title refers to a line from the book Philippians 2:12, "...continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling" which in its turn may be a reference to Psalm 55:5, "Fear and trembling came upon me..." Kierkegaard wanted to understand the feeling that must have arisen in Abraham when God tested him with the sacrifice of Isaac.

Reason and Faith in Harmony: Understanding the Enduring Ideas of Thomas Aquinas takes readers on a journey into the mind of one of history’s greatest thinkers. Known as the Angelic Doctor, Aquinas shaped theology, philosophy, ethics, and politics in ways that continue to influence the modern world.

Written in clear and accessible language, it provides both newcomers and ...

What if God was not in control? And what if, instead, God always expresses uncontrolling love? Eighty leading thinkers explore the implications of a new way to think about God, the world, and our everyday lives.

Essayists take ideas in Thomas Jay Oord's award-winning book, The Uncontrolling Love of God: An Open and Relational Account of Providence (IVP Academic). Each contributor explores how we might think and live in light of uncontrolling love.

Quite simply, three of the most important and well-known confessions of the Reformed faith. The Augsburg Confession is the earliest of the three and is the primary confession of the Lutheran Church. The Heidelberg Catechism was a response written by Zacharias Ursinus and consists of 129 questions and answers. The Westminster Confession is the best known and begins with "What is the chief end of man? Man's chief end is to glorify God, and enjoy Him forever."

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.

Ever wonder why much of American Christianity is pro-spanking, pro-tough-on-crime, anti-gun control, pro-war, and hell-affirming, even though Jesus taught mercy, non-violence and enemy love? When Michael Camp started deconstructing his evangelical faith, he noticed a pattern. The doctrines he questioned—original depravity, substitutionary atonement, God-ordained genocide in the Old Testament, the doctrine of hell, etc.—were all tied to retribution and violence.
