Bible Baptist Church

Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance... These are all attributes of the one true God. It is because our Lord is of such a holy character that our souls may be saved and our lives are blessed in ways too numerous to count. God the Holy Spirit dwells within each born-again child of God. He is willing and able to produce these same character traits in all believers. In this book we will learn how to yield to His control so that He might do a great work in conforming us into the image of our Savior.

THE LAMBS WORKBOOK shows the reader that being sexually abused as a child (or at least an adolescent) was experienced by at least one of the Old Testament patriarchs. It also shows that Jesus Christ himself has shared in suffering unjustly at the hands of false religious leaders.

This format is an amazing tool and is, in my opinion, Jeri Massi's finest work in her outreach to victims of clergy abuse. The workbook offers valuable lessons and simple instruction for those who ...

As an English-speaking denomination, Baptists originated within 17th-century Puritanism as an offshoot of Congregationalism. English Baptists migrated to the American colonies during the 17th century. During the 18th century, the Great Awakening resulted in the expansion of the denomination, and the conversion of many slaves to Baptist churches. Baptist congregations formed their first national organization the Triennial Convention in the early 1800.

Known to historians as "the First American," Benjamin Franklin is without a doubt the most accessible of America's founding fathers. His writings have inspired millions of Americans, and even now, more than 200 years after his death, his wit and humor still brighten lives all across the world. But what was this great man's view on faith? Was he really a Deist as so many historians have proposed? Was he a humanist like so many of his French friends? Is there any possibility that he could have been a Christian? In this unique volume, Bill Fortenberry has collected everything that Franklin ...
