There is a category of gifts, called ministry gifts. The reason that they are called ministry gifts is because those who receive them, are called by God to the ministry, i.e. they are called to serve the church in the ministry of the gospel. God is the one who gives these gifts, and they are appointed by Him. In total, there are ten ministry gifts listed in the scriptures. There are five main gifts, which are the apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher. The other five listed in scripture, are working of miracles, gifts of healings, helps, administrations and varieties of tongues. ...

Colossians 1:19-20 “For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, (20) and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.” The work of salvation that God the Father accomplished through the sacrifice of His Son Christ Jesus is far more extensive than that which is commonly taught or understood in the church. This book is written to explain just one aspect of the work of the cross, i.e. the cleansing power of the blood of Christ that cleanses mankind from all their ...

I didn’t plan to get stuck here. But the storm came. And so did he. Ronan Black. Dark. Dangerous. And trapped with me in this cabin. I thought I could ignore him. I thought I could keep my distance. But his eyes—cold, intense—pull me in. He’s hiding something. I can feel it. A past he doesn’t want anyone to see. And yet, he’s here. With me. Each hour we spend together, the tension grows. It’s suffocating. Desires I didn’t know I had are unleashed. He takes control. Of everything. Of me. And I’m not sure I want to fight it. The storm outside is nothing compared to the storm...

The Souls of Black Folk was published in 1903 as a collection of essays from W.E.B. Du Bois, an African-American sociologist who wrote frequently about his experiences as a Black man for magazines and other publications. This book is comprised of 14 essays, with Du Bois’s overall message being that Black people were equally worthy of the rights of White people: to vote, to receive a good quality education, and to be treated justly.

One of the fundamental differences between the saints of the old covenant and the saints of the new covenant, is that we have the Holy Spirit residing on the inside of us, whereas the saints under the old covenant did not. Because of this fact, God leads His children under the new covenant, completely differently to the way that He led His servants under the old. The primary way that the Lord led the saints under the old covenant was through the office of the prophet. The reason that the saints went to the prophet for guidance, was because none of them had any access to the Holy Spirit. ...

This book is written to explain what the bible teaches about the anti-Christ and his government. The apostle John is the one who specifically named this individual the “anti-Christ”. Nevertheless the anti-Christ also has various other titles ascribed to him, i.e. the apostle John also refers to him as the beast and the apostle Paul refers to him as the man of sin, the son of perdition and the lawless one. So who is the anti-Christ? The bible reveals to us a very different person to most narratives about him that are in the public domain. In the book of Revelation John reveals to us that...

2 Corinthians 8:9 “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.” There is much controversy in the church today, about the “prosperity gospel”. There are those who promote it to the extreme, and there are those who are against it in its entirety. Each side tends to accuse the other, of teaching error.
