Using exclusively official Catholic writings, O.C. Lambert compares what the Catholic Church says in public to what they admit in their writings, and frequently finds them in stark contradiction. This volume of the popular Roman Catholicism Against Itself series exposes their suppression of the Bible, the history of Mariology (the worship of Mary as greater than Christ), of praying to dead Catholics--even those who they claim are in Purgatory, the history behind infant baptism, the creation and evolution of the priesthood, deliberate mistranslations of the Bible, and the history of their "...

The Church as the Bride of Christ is one of the most profound revelations in Scripture. From Genesis to Revelation, the imagery of marriage is used to illustrate the intimate relationship between God and His people. This theme reaches its fulfillment in the Church, which is called to be the spotless bride prepared for union with Christ. The ultimate purpose of the Church is to be joined to Him in perfect unity, sharing in His life, love, and glory for all eternity. The foundation of this truth is laid in Ephesians 5:25-27, which states, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved ...

From the surface, it sounds very nice and like an event of spiritual peace among these two major denominations, that would be such a wonderful thing to see happen but is it even remotely realistic or achievable? Maybe the more important question would be this: Does God desire for such opposed religious practices to reach a point of saying "Every road leads to God.", when the Holy Scriptures do not at all endorse such a position?

The rates of decline in church attendance and the ticking demographic timebomb show that business as usual will lead to extinction. But out of these ashes there are countless reasons to hope. Signs and stories emerging from worshipping communities the world over can give us renewed confidence that, as always, God is doing a ‘new-old’ thing. The Church that is emerging amid times of uncertainty is growing, alive and demonstrating the qualities of the early church recorded in the New Testament, one that is more diverse, more spirit-filled, more confident in the Gospel.

The book tackles contemporary issues such as abortion, the media, the Trump Presidency and more with suggestions for how Christians should act during divisive times.

Although the largest churches in the world are cell-based, many have questioned whether the model will work in North America. The Church In Many Houses: Reaching Your Community Through Cell-Based Ministry makes the case that the cell model will work— if key assumptions about spiritual growth and the nature of the church are reexamined and renewed. By drawing on scripture, research, and insights gained through personal experience as the pastor of a growing cell church, Steve Cordle identifies the four pivotal philosophical shifts necessary for the cell approach to work. These are mindset ...

In this volume they take us on literary journeys that are revealing and challenging yet always entertaining.

These testimonies of the soul are simple as true, commonplace as simple, universal as commonplace, natural as universal, divine as natural. I don't think they can appear frivolous or feeble to any one, if he reflect on the majesty of nature, from which the soul derives its authority. If you acknowledge the authority of the mistress, you will own it also in the disciple. Well, nature is the mistress here, and her disciple is the soul. But everything the one has taught or the other learned, has come from God--the Teacher of the teacher.

I will in this volume, show that Revelation chapter 20 is to be understood by the plain reading of the text, and not to be taken as symbolic. That in fact, the terminology that is symbolic, is plainly shown to be so in the text, and that those symbols are clearly explained in the scripture itself. Chapter 20 is simply meant to be an overview, a history in advance, for the consolation of the saints, to which there would be no purpose to veil it in cryptic prose.

In January of 1950, Mary Church Terrell, an 86-year-old charter member of the NAACP, headed into Thompson’s Restaurant, just a few blocks from the White House, and requested to be served. She and her companions were informed by the manager that they could not eat in his establishment, because they were “colored.” Terrell, a former suffragette and one of the country’s first college-educated African-American women, took the matter to court. Three years later, the Supreme Court vindicated her outrage: District of Columbia v. John R. Thompson Co., Inc. was decided in 1953.
