"That can't be right, that's cannibalism!" No one ever said that God never challenged us or did something unexpected. But this claim about the words of Jesus in John 6 either we have thought, or likely heard, if we run in Christian circles. We can argue that we've had controversial prophecies before, like in Isaiah: "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel" that God has given us to understand His amazing plans. While Bible-believing Christians today are willing to believe what many Jews still find ...

In a world that calls evil good and good evil, the Christian must be equipped for battle to defend the truth of God's Word. The goal of Pastor Hoppe is to take us to the beginning and journey through the Scriptures to discover God's perfect design for humanity.

In Holy Disunity: How What Separates Us Can Save Us, Layton E. Williams proposes that our primary calling as humans is not to create unity but rather to seek authentic relationship with God, ourselves, one another, and the world around us. And that means actively engaging those with whom we disagree. Our religious, political, social, and cultural differences can create doubt and tension, but disunity also provides surprising gifts of perspective and grace.

The debate over whether or not a person who has received salvation through Jesus Christ, can become lost again, has been around probably since the beginning of Christianity. It is a very difficult subject and one that contains some very unpleasant aspects and many pastors and preachers choose to bypass the subject for this very reason. The term that refers to someone who forsakes his faith is “an apostate”.

Hypocrisy replaces virtue when men cover their sins rather than confess them to God. This is all too common when men do not preach and practice a Biblical doctrine of confession. The challenge is first to restore the meaning of confession as taught in the Scriptures. As long as confession is seen as a Romanist doctrine, we have no hope of recovering this vital aspect of Christianity. In this path-breaking volume, R. J. Rushdoony examines the Biblical teaching on confession and sets it over against the errors of Romanism and the neo-Freudianism of modern Christian counseling.
