The ancient creeds of Christianity define what it means to be Christian. However, there is one Christian group—members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons)—who claim that all those creeds are wrong and need to be revamped. This is why many people assert that Mormons are not Christians at all, despite their belief in Jesus Christ. Mormonism provides a remarkably different view of Christ and his work from that of normative Christianity, taking all the old stories and reinterpreting them based on the revelations received by Joseph Smith, the founding prophet of the Church. This book is about that reinterpretation. I offer it, not as the Mormon viewpoint, but a ...

As a believer I think one should set their mind to be a life-long learner in order to be a workman who correctly handles the word of truth. In my case as a leader / teacher / elder it is imperative that I am passing on sound doctrine. Continuing to study the word better equips me to be able to more fully understand God’s plan for the church and to be able to lead his church and pass sound doctrine on to others. It was with this mindset that the journey culminating in this work embarked. Little did I know how much I did not know and today I am humbled more than ever now to realize that study of the word really is a life-long endeavor. The main body or first 120 pages or so of this wo ...

In this book I am going to clearly identify what has eluded mankind for 2,000 years… The identity of The Beast and the religion behind it. The Bible declares that all mankind will worship this Beast at the end and that has come true as it is the largest religion on Earth and this beast is a false image of the true Messiah who we have elevated in our hearts as God above Yahuah. The Creator, Yahuah, who revealed Himself in The Bible, warns us that His Word would be mistranslated and altered by Jewish scribes and twisted by Greeks into ‘another gospel’ that abolishes His Law and we would be presented with an “image” of the Messiah that is false called The Lawless One.This book is an all ou ...

The narratives of Scripture and church history reveal the enduring truth that corporate prayer is founded upon God’s covenant relationship with his people. In this text, using three foundational Scripture texts, I will examine the biblical foundations of covenant and corporate prayer. I will also trace a historical trajectory of theological belief and practice related to corporate prayer by examining the theology of three key figures in church history: Tertullian, John Calvin, and C.H. Spurgeon. In examining these key texts and historical figures, the prominence of covenant is seen to shape the prayers of God’s people, for covenant is the foundation upon which God’s people pray.

Like all believers, the gospel message has infiltrated and changed my life in miraculous ways. While in college at the University of Mary Hardin Baylor, I discovered Reformed theology: a sort of second awakening to my Christian faith. It was during that time that I was made aware of the Five Solas. Upon grappling with the weight of gospel truth in the Five Solas and yet reconciling it with their rudimentary principles, the most profound realization I had was the necessity and vitality of these five core doctrines. The apparent recognition, for me at that time, was that within the Five Solas lies a concise gospel presentation mediated through Christ alone and for the glory of God alone. T ...

The Foundation and Pillars of the Biblical Worldview offers an in-depth analysis of the Biblical worldview. The first section explains worldviews, emphasizing epistemology, demonstrating that if one does not begin with God’s Word, he cannot justify any knowledge about anything. The second section lays the foundation for the Biblical worldview: The Bible is the standard of truth. Here the doctrines of revelation (including the insufficiency of general revelation), inspiration & inerrancy of Scripture, and 7 properties of Scripture are analyzed. The largest section explains the 8 pillars/key doctrines that uphold a Biblical worldview. Christians lacking any of these pillars do not have the ...

This book presents the advantages of employing historic liturgy even in a free tradition and offers such a perspective from a free tradition.

In the bible, two underlying tenets must always be fulfilled when determining the truth of a matter. First, God's righteousness and Word must always prevail, and secondly, the fruit of a given event or action must be without a doubt for the glorification of God. It was from these two foundations that led me to look very hard into why the Christian church has such an obsession with Israel today, despite Christ's deliverance of a new Kingdom and Covenant. From my findings, which I discovered are in opposition to the two tenets, I was led by the spirit to seek out all knowledge in the Old and New Testaments which the church uses to justify the return of the kingdom (country) of Israel ...
