The Father uses many ways to speak to His children; therefore, we should be careful not to miss Him because the mode of delivery might not fit our theology or our previous experiences. Some believers have the paradigm that God speaks only by way of His Word, through prayer, or preachers. This mindset can lead believers to either missing God's voice when He speaks or being in danger of receiving wrong messages from wrong sources. The Father DOES speak to us today in many different ways. This book answers many questions about God's ways of communicating with His children. Some of the ways ...

We all love stories, especially mysteries. When we were young children, our parents, grandparents, or friends would read us stories. Stories and mysteries are passed down from generation to generation. This book is about a story and a mystery, and who doesn’t love a good mystery? The Parable of the Four Soils concerns a sower (Jesus) who scatters seed (The Word), which falls on four different types of ground (the hearts of people). The wayside soil (the closed, hardened, and neglected heart) prevents the seed from sprouting at all, and the seed becomes nothing more than bird food. The ...

THE FIVE EVIDENCES OF SALVATION How can I be sure I'm a Christian? How do I know I’m saved? How do I know if I have truly repented? How do I repent and ask God for forgiveness? Do I have to be baptized to be born again? Am I saved if I keep sinning? What are the five proofs of salvation? What is salvation according to the Bible? How can people know they are genuinely born again? There are many Bible verses showing us how to pray for salvation and know that it is real. Conversational evangelism brings witnessing down to asking three questions. Do you believe you are a sinner? Do you ...

“WE NEED FAITH” Why do I need faith? How can I get faith after doubt? Sometimes, when things don’t go according to plan, we lose faith, not only in ourselves but also in any potential outcome in our lives. We may even start thinking, “Do I stay a Christian when my faith is failing?” Failure will do that to you. When we experience life’s monumental failures, it’s easy to lose hope and faith. You can get to the place where you don’t believe everything you think, do, or say. Wholehearted Faith is deep-rooted in the expectation of good things to come. It goes beyond hope. Hope ...

A PLACE WHERE GOD AND MAN MEET What comes to mind when you think of worshipping God? Where do you meet with God? Where and how do you worship Him? Do you think you need a music team following you in order to worship God? These are questions that have been debated for hundreds of years. Every culture has had a place set apart to worship God. The Samaritan woman brought this subject up to our Lord Jesus Christ. It is important to remember that it is God who takes the initiative in providing a place and a way for man to meet with Him and to worship with Him. God placed Adam and Eve in the ...

IS RELIGION DEAD?Who is this group called the Believing Unbelievers, and how do they affect me, my spiritual walk, and my church life? “IS RELIGION DEAD?” is book two in the “They Walk Among Us” series, where I address the growing epidemic of religion within and outside the church's walls. People who are Believing Unbelievers don’t possess genuine faith in God. They operate in mental assent that God is real, and Jesus Christ died for them. In essence, mental assent intellectually agrees with the Bible but does not have faith in God or His Word for salvation. It is a religious head...

Is Christian Immaturity Dead? The Unbelieving Believers Epidemic Is an inspirational Biblical approach to how God sees spiritual immaturity. This book is part three of a four-part series as Charles has logically made his case that there are four classes of people in the world. The first is Unbelieving Unbelievers (atheism), Believing Unbelievers (religious but lost), Unbelieving Believers (saved but immature), and Believing Believers (saved, mature, and faithful). Christian Immaturity is an epidemic, growing within the body of Christ as believers become dull of hearing and unteachable. ...

Have you ever wondered about the personal testimony of some who profess Christianity and Jesus Christ, and wonder know if they are truly saved or just possess a religion? Is it possible to know for sure if a professing Christian is truly born again? You see professing Christians with the conduct of life that would make someone wonder, are they really saved, or does the grace of God allow us to live any way we want without boundaries or responsibilities? Our Lord Jesus Christ told us that we would know them by their fruit. If we are to know them by their fruit, then there must be a ...

A BACKSLIDING HEARTThe Bible gives a stern warning to Christians against falling back into sin. The goal of our salvation is to be changed into the image of our Lord Jesus Christ. So, why does the church look and act so worldly? We used to hear years ago about people who were backslidden and out of fellowship with God and the body of Christ. We don’t hear much about it anymore. Have we grown so accustomed to sin that it is no longer an issue? Have we misused the phrase “you are just judging” so much that we are no longer our brother’s keeper? Are there things we never got over ...

A WILLINGNESS TO BE TAUGHT One problem with the body of Christ is that we are teachable as long as someone teaches what we already believe. Why do we need spiritual ears to hear when being taught the Word? The key to really knowing God is the same key for understanding all doctrines, and that is to become and remain teachable. Many within the body of Christ have become dull of hearing. What does it mean to be dull of hearing? The word dull carries the idea of being spiritually lazy, slothful, or hard of hearing. Over time we became dull of hearing and unable to grasp deep truths. What ...

GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN The Great Commission: God's Plan To Reach The World We’ve got to tell somebody. YES! We’ve got to tell somebody that Jesus Christ is born. Imagine a church body filled with believers actively telling others about the birth, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. We sing that favorite old spiritual, “Go Tell It On The Mountain,” each year at Christmas, but do we tell anyone? “GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN” is a fresh look at The Great Commission given by Jesus. We can’t disciple those who are not saved. Charles Morris designed this as a ...

Some people might say Eldership doesn't work. I respond "you're right." How can it work when we appoint Elders who are not spiritually qualified? Eldership cannot work unless we follow God's manual for what constitutes a qualified Elder. When we come to the subject of church Elders, the New Testament is clear about the qualifications. The New Testament gives more detailed instructions on Elders' mandatory qualifications than any other aspect, including their calling and ministry. God has placed a standard for those in pastoral oversight because not just anyone can be an Elder. In 1 Timothy ...

SETTING YOUR HEARTWe are dying to ourselves! Can every believer lay claim to such a profound experience? In "Setting Your Heart," Charles Morris explores the profound notion of being "crucified with Christ" as proclaimed by the apostle Paul in Galatians. This comprehensive examination delves into the possibility of believers making this transformative claim and living a daily existence in the Spirit, free from habitual sins. Morris compellingly calls readers to follow Christ to the cross, embracing a crucified life and rising to new spiritual heights. Expertly illustrating that surrendering...

The great economic boom times in American history have come because of fortuitous discoveries. Natural resources (coal first, then oil) fueled vast economic and industrial expansions, which helped create and supply new markets. The last genuine economic game changer was the technology boom of the 1990s, which gave the U.S. a global competitive advantage based on electronics and silicon. In defiance of the recessionary times (in 1990), he saw the coming boom. Now, in 2013, he sees the threshold of another.
