Two days before Super Bowl XLI in 2007, the game's two opposing head coaches posed with the trophy one of them would hoist after the contest. It was a fairly unremarkable event, except that both coaches were African American - a fact that was as much of a story as the game itself. As Jeremi Duru reveals in Advancing the Ball, this unique milestone resulted from the work of a determined group of people whose struggles to expand head coaching opportunities for African Americans ultimately changed the National Football League.

This eschatological position and doctrinal philosophy is called Kingdom Now or Dominion Theology. To really understand NAR hype and manipulation just listen to any NAR apostle teach out of the book of Revelation. For NAR must explain away how all these prophetic judgments, battle of Armageddon, and the Antichrist has already been fulfilled in history. A very elaborate system of lies and twisting of Scriptures and historical facts. I trust this is where the hypocrisy of the NAR Movement is clearly seen, as they mock the Premillennial beliefs of Christians who see the book of Revelation in ...

You were not saved to survive—you were saved to rule. Christ came with two powerful missions: as the Lamb of God to redeem, and as the Restoring King to reign. The cross is complete—but the crown is still advancing. You are not just a believer—you are a builder, a warrior, a co-ruler in the greatest Kingdom revolution the world has ever seen. Scripture declares that heaven is holding Jesus until the restoration of all things. This means the work is not over. It's your time to rise, restore, and take dominion. In Destined for Dominion, you’ll be equipped to identify the original ...

He is regarded today as one of the most influential figures in the history of the world.

In a day of religious controversy, no one is so useful to his generation as the man who contributes a little “light.” Amidst the din and strife of ecclesiastical warfare, amidst the fog and dust stirred up by excited disputants, amidst assertions and counter-assertions, a thinking man will often cry with the dying philosopher,—“I want more light: give me more light.” He that can make two ears of corn grow where one grew before, has been rightly called a benefactor to mankind. He that can throw a few rays of fresh light on the theological questions of the day, is surely doing a ...

In today's rapidly changing world, where cultural norms, moral values, and spiritual beliefs are constantly evolving, the church finds itself at a crossroads.
