English Reformation

Sixteenth century England. The Protestant Reformation sweeps across Europe into England, bringing political and religious upheaval and danger to all who embrace this new learning. Into this tumultuous period, young Anne Askew, a gentlewoman from Lincolnshire, forges her way into history. From the peasant revolt in Northern England, which threatens the very lives of her beloved father and brothers, through a loveless marriage, and finally to the political intrigues of Henry VIII’s court, Anne’s courageous and steadfast faith sustains her.

This book offers a radically different perspective from that of many best-selling authors concerning how the Christian should measure and evaluate travel along God's path of righteousness. It will endeavor to persuade the listener that by feeding regularly on the Gospel in the Preached Word and The Supper, God promises to have His way with the Christian and He alone will accomplish all that is needed for life in Him to be complete. He is not waiting or requiring you to do anything first (during or after) to provide you with every blessing of the Gospel.

Most scholars consider Melanchthon to be a Reformation enigma. He, the developer of the Reformation doctrine of forensic justification, is contrarily condemned as a synergist. Known well as the Protestant preceptor of Germany, he was Martin Luther's lifelong friend, colleague, teacher of Greek, and fellow reformer. Upon arriving at Wittenberg, Melanchthon was a theologian neither by trade nor by training. He was a classically trained expert in classical languages, neo-Latin poet, textbook author, Greek scholar, humanist, and above all, an educator

Most non-Catholic Christians are not aware of the Protestant Reformation Movement of the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, without which, we would have no choice, even today, but to be Catholics. Does this sound strange to you if you're Protestant? That's because many Protestant pastors are not teaching their flocks about this Christian, world-changing event.

For too long, the American Church has neglected the theology of the cross, replacing biblical truth with appealing but shallow doctrines. In Banner of the Cross, L. D.

Rejecting modern theological distortions, Hills exposes false teachings that have crept into the Church—both past and present—and urges a return to the apostolic doctrine. With clarity and conviction, he confronts errors while providing scriptural solutions to restore the...

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 ...

What happened next changed the world in this family story, filled with music in the original German.

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

These foundational principles, which were articulated during the 16th-century Reformation, provide a robust framework for understanding and living out the Christian faith. By rediscovering and re-embracing these ...

Kingdom Come is written to give a biblical response to the prevailing theology within the NAR movement, which is Dominion Theology. Many questions and concerns have arisen over the last several decades about the formation, doctrine and practices of the NAR movement. Author, Don Pirozok

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 ...
