Matthew 24:4 “And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed that no one deceives you.” The above scripture, records the opening statement made by our Lord Jesus, when He taught us on the subject, of the end times. It is important to note, that there is only area recorded in the bible, that the Lord warned us not to be deceived about, and that is the subject of the end times. The reason that our Lord warns us in this area, is because this is the one area, where the saints can more easily, be deceived. And I want you to also note, that the Lord places the onus on His saints, to ensure ...

Psalms 45:9 “Kings' daughters are among Your honorable women; At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.” Once the marriage of the Lamb has taken place, the church will no longer be one who is betrothed to the Lord, for she will then become the queen of heaven. The above passage of scripture describes the bride of Christ, after she has been joined to the Lord in eternal marriage. And so, we see that when our Lord Jesus finally returns to the earth to reign for one thousand years, that He will return with His bride, the church. This book reveals what the bible teaches us ...

Every person is born into this earth with a conscience. Paul lived his entire life striving to maintain a good conscience before God and men. As believers, we need to imitate Paul in this. This book helps the believer to understand what their conscience is and how to maintain a good conscience.

The Lord committed to Peter, the gospel for the circumcised, and He committed to Paul, the gospel for the uncircumcised. Confusion arises when the two gospels get mixed up. Most of the confusion arises among the gentile believers, which is why the Lord Jesus specifically anointed the apostle Paul to teach His gentile believers what in the law, was acceptable for them to observe and what was not. In this book, we look at what the bible teaches us regarding these two gospels.

This book, the first in a series on biblical prophecy, examines the critical concept of two Israels as revealed in Scripture. Misunderstood by many scholars, this distinction is essential for accurate prophecy interpretation. Just as Jews misinterpret messianic prophecies by not distinguishing between the Messiah's two comings, recognizing the two Israels—the nation and the church—is crucial. This book clarifies that God has separate plans for each, debunking "Replacement Theology" and ensuring a correct prophetic understanding. This book explores the concept of "Israel after the flesh,...

In past generations the topic of creation was theologically not very important, and ministers of the gospel could simply gloss over it by teaching the saints that God created everything over six days, six thousand years ago. The reason bible teachers could do that, was because knowledge in the earth was limited and there was no real scientific evidence available to challenge that point of view. Today things have changed however, and every day more and more scientific evidence is discovered that completely refutes that view of scripture, thus highlighting the error of that teaching. And so, ...

The bible clearly teaches us that our bodies are not our own, but that they in fact belong to God. One way that we can understand this concept, is to view our body as a house that we are renting. God is the owner of the house, and we are His tenants. As tenants, our land lord expects us to look after His property, and He will hold us to account if we damage it in any way. This book teaches us what God expects us to do with our bodies.

1 Timothy 2:1-4 “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, (2) for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. (3) For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, (4) who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” In the above quoted passage of scripture the Holy Spirit exhorts the church to pray for heads of state and all those who are in authority. One of the main roles that the church is required ...

Scripture teaches us that there are two distinct types of sin that Christians can commit. They can commit sin not to death, and they can commit sin to death. Although all sin without exception, eventually leads to spiritual death, there is a sin that believers can commit, that will kill their spirits. Scripture differentiates this sin from every other sin, by telling us that all other sins do not kill the born-again human spirit. This book looks at the difference between the two types of sin, and specifically what is the sin to death, and how believers can be led to commit this sin.

This work presents a detailed eschatological vision of the end times, the final judgment, and the nature of the eternal state. It begins by describing the current inhabitants of heaven: angels, the church (saints), and the spirits of deceased children deemed innocent until the age of accountability. A key distinction is made between these groups; saints are part of the church and will be Christ's bride, while children are not and will have a different eternal destiny. The book explains the sequence of resurrections. The first resurrection is for the saints, who will receive glorified, ...

When we accepted Christ Jesus as Lord and Saviour we were washed clean in the precious blood of the lamb and we stood before God completely cleansed from all sin. It was never our Lord's intention that His saints then went back into sin, and so He made provision for us to walk free from sin. This book helps the believer to understand that truth in scripture and appropriate it for themselves.

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. ...

Resurrection of the Dead by Michael E. B. Maher is a doctrinal exposition of the biblical teaching on resurrection, presented as one of the six foundational doctrines of Christ outlined in Hebrews 5–6. The book argues that a proper understanding of resurrection is essential for spiritual maturity and protection from doctrinal error. Maher begins by examining the nature of death, defining humanity as a triune being—spirit, soul, and body. Physical death, he explains, is the separation of the spirit and soul from the mortal body, not the end of existence. Since the spirit and soul are ...

In Predestined to His Purpose, embark on a profound exploration of the doctrine of predestination, delving into how God sovereignly orchestrates His creation with a focus on salvation. Anchored in Scripture, this book unravels the delicate balance between God’s perfect will—His heartfelt desire for all to be saved—and His permissive will, which honours human free will. Through passages like Romans 12:2 and John 3:16, it reveals God’s universal provision for salvation through Jesus Christ’s atoning sacrifice, which encompasses the sins of the world, yet allows individuals to accept...

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...

The scripture plainly calls this doctrine the doctrine of “baptisms” – plural. There are three distinct baptisms taught in the New Testament. Just as each baptism is a separate event, so each baptism also fulfils a different role in our walk as believers. This book looks at each baptism in detail, explaining not only what each baptism is about, but also the benefits of each one. Which is why our Lord Jesus put them in place in His church.

We are spirit beings, and unless we walk in the reality of that fact, we will never experience the fullness in this life, of that which our Lord Jesus has for us. As believers, we are instructed by the Lord to walk in the spirit. This book will help the believer to more fully understand what their spirit is, and how to develop their spirit.

This book, the second in a series on biblical prophecy about Israel, examines how God established Israel through a prophecy given to Abram, foretelling his descendants' enslavement in Egypt and eventual return to claim the Promised Land. This land, specified from the river of Egypt to the Euphrates, was further defined by God to Moses and later divided by Joshua among the twelve tribes. Despite periods of occupation and conquest, Israel never fully controlled the territory due to disobedience. The establishment of Jerusalem as Israel's capital occurred under King David, who also initiated ...

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 ...

Believers that are filled with the Holy Spirit, can expect through the use of spiritual gifts, to operate by measure, in the miraculous powers that will be freely available to us in the age to come. The Lord Jesus has given us these gifts so that we can minister His supernatural power to His church, thus edifying His church. This book teaches us how to operate in spiritual gifts.
