Are you concerned about the doctrines of Jimmy Swaggart Ministries (JSM)? With respect to the Scripture and sensitivity to people, this book gives a detailed account of the history of JSM with an in-depth analysis of Swaggart's teachings. While this writing compares Swaggartism to biblical Christianity, this is not a treatise against Christians who follow Swaggart. Rather, it is written to help believers recognize that some of the doctrines espoused by Jimmy Swaggart may hinder a close walk with Jesus. Jimmy Swaggart was one of the most famous televangelists of the 1980s. He has made a ...

Have you ever wondered what the Catholic Church teaches about the pope? Who established the papacy? What is the role of the pope? Why does the Church need the pope? Is it possible that Catholic teaching about the papacy reflects the authentic teaching of Jesus, has been taught by the Church since the apostolic era, and describes the mechanism by which Jesus choses to preserve and proclaim the deposit of faith? Bishop Francis Patrick Kenrick (1796-1863) wrote The Primacy of the Apostolic See to answer these questions and more, with scholarship, compassion, and love. Jesus said: “And I tell...

The doctrine of election, like many truths about God, tends to involve some mystery and some controversy, but as we will see, this is a wonderful doctrine which should move us to humility, confidence, praise, faithfulness, holiness, and joy. Using 1 Peter as a starting pointing, this book will guide you through scriptures that teach the doctrines of election and eternal security.

"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33 (NIV): No doubt, the subject of this book is not only sacred but indispensable and universal. The kingdom of God is the foremost theme of the Bible, as it is supposed to be the first thing first but has been neglected. As such, the supposed heirs of the Kingdom are living and existing like slaves and strangers of the glorious kingdom of the Heavenly Father through Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior, the Redeemer of all mankind. First, this realization of the Kingdom of ignorant...

This book (Approx. 154,172 words in length -- 113 Chapters) contains many of my book titles on the subject of Holy Bible doctrines from a fundamental Christian faith perspective. While some chapters include aspects of what some Christians refer to as "Pentecostal" or "charismatic" beliefs, due to mentions of miraculous events and of the supernatural "gifts of the Spirit" as described in the New Testament, the majority of Bible teachings included, are beliefs held by a majority of fundamental Christian believers but with aspects included that you do not often hear coming from the pulpits of ...

What do Catholics and Protestants believe about the Bible? Where do they agree and disagree? Catholics believe that: “God is the author of Sacred Scripture because he inspired its human authors; he acts in them and by means of them. He thus gives assurance that their writings teach without error his saving truth.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 136) Many Protestants share this same belief. Yet, differences emerge with respect to the doctrine of the rule of faith — the standard by which individuals interpret difficult passages of the Bible. Louis-Nazaire Cardinal Bégin (1840-1925)...

Our Great Salvation is an excellent study of soteriology—the doctrine of salvation—written as discipleship materials for small groups or beginning Bible school classes. It is the ninth book in the discipleship series, “Teach Me Your Paths.” There are helpful study questions at the end of each lesson. The salvation story starts at the creation of Adam and Eve, and then moves to the terrible tragedy of the Fall, when sin and Satan entered the Garden. Yet even in those tragic hours God made a promise that the Seed of the woman (Jesus Christ) would bruise the head of the serpent. That ...

Ever since Christianity began, the Bible has had a special place in the Christian religion. Its teachings span centuries and consist of histories, poetry, laws, proverbs, and letters. No one can understand Christianity without an understanding of the book Christians call the Word of God. This excerpt from the book "Solid Ground' explains the Bible for believers and unbelievers alike, covering who wrote it, under what circumstances, translations, and how to read it to obtain the most benefit from it. Mr. Clay warns against the pitfalls that many unwittingly fall into when trying to read the ...

TO MY MUSLIM FRIENDS is my humble and sincere effort at answering some of the key issues that the Muslims generally raise regarding the fundamental doctrines of the Holy Bible. Not too many Christian scholars have addressed these issues adequately. Therefore, I have tried to deal with them according to the grace that God has granted to me. These issues include the following: Who is God? Can we know Him? Can we call Him Father? Who is Jesus? Is Jesus God? Is He the Son of God? Can God become Man, taking birth through a virgin mother? How can God be a Triune God? The nature of the Holy ...

Theology for the Rest of Us is a systematic Christian theology written in everyday language. It covers key areas of doctrine such as bibliology, theology proper, Christology, pneumatology, soteriology, and ecclesiology.

'Have Yourself An Eschatological Christmas' is a short book on a big topic. The advent of Christ was, quite literally, a history changing moment when the Triune God decided to act. The Word becoming flesh changed everything, and it certainly changes the rest of history as we move towards the glorious promise of resurrection life. In this book, Dr. Jason Garwood explores the contours and themes of eschatology and how the coming of Christ plays a role in God's great purpose for the world. Warning: This books contains hope...hope for the world, hope for the nations, and hope for God's people ...

Is it possible that today's religious world has lost sight of the narrow way Jesus spoke about? In The Narrow Way Still Matters, Clarence W. Fell boldly returns to the Bible’s original blueprint for the church. With a warm but unflinching voice, this book challenges the widespread acceptance of denominationalism and calls readers back to the “simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ” (2 Corinthians 11:3). Through direct Scripture, thoughtful commentary, and Restoration Movement clarity, Fell exposes how modern trends, even inside churches, have gradually shifted believers away from...

What is Discipleship? This should be an important question for all believers as our Lord instructed us that we should “make disciples of all the nations” (Matthew 28:19). But we are seeing evidence that we as a church have failed to adequately fulfill this charge. Without a firm grasp of these essential core doctrines, many believers are not equipped to refute false teaching which can impact their faith. GROW: Essentials for Disciple Makers, provides key Christian subjects to cover in one-on-one discipleship or in small group discussion. These helpful lessons for both new believers, as ...

Stated simply, the Genesis Gap is the belief that angels rebelled against God at a time not revealed but that was obviously previous to Adam and Eve, who were given dominion of the Earth, after it was destroyed by God and recreated. This is why we see a finished heaven and Earth in Genesis 1:1, followed by an Earth that is covered by darkness and a catastrophic flood of water in verse two.

The Bible remains the best-selling book of all time, believed by nearly two billion Christians and Jews to be divinely inspired. But in this hard-hitting new book, author Robert J. Hutchinson proposes that it is actually much more than this. The ideas enshrined in the Bible, he says, triggered a revolution in human thought and established the moral and philosophical foundation for Western civilization.

In Hitler, God, and the Bible, international evangelist and bestselling author Ray Comfort exposes Adolf Hitler's theology and abuse of religion as a means to seize political power and ultimately instigate World War II and genocide.

This fascinating study mines the depths of Hitler's beliefs and convincingly argues that without Hitler's misuse of Christianity the Third Reich would not have had its legendary rise, resulting in the deaths of more than six million Jews.
