Both approaches are essential to developing spiritual maturity. "Acts" is the eighth volume in the "Heavenly Citizens" series. Acts begins with Messiah Jesus’ command to His disciples to stay in Jerusalem until they were baptized with the Holy Spirit. Then Jesus ascended into...

For too long God’s enemy has effectively separated the Church from the true Word of God and God’s appointed times. This has caused the Church to lack power and influence. Modern-day churches are shells of the original Church that turned the world upside down. The Power of the Original Church practically and biblically deals with the tragedy of how today’s churches are not as effective as they could be.

Whatever noxious vapors, accordingly, exhaled from philosophy, obscure the clear and wholesome atmosphere of truth, it will be for Christians to clear away, both by shattering to pieces the arguments which are drawn from the principles of things - I mean those of the philosophers - and by opposing to them the maxims of heavenly wisdom - that is, such as are revealed by the Lord; in order that both the pitfalls wherewith philosophy captivates the heathen may be removed, and the means employed by heresy to shake the faith of Christians may be repressed.

George Santayana once said those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. I will take it one step further and declare those who don’t learn from the ancient writings are doomed. Back in ancient times, the emperor of eternity spoke to man. He gave humankind his rules and prescriptions, and he appointed priests to administer his government. The priests became lackadaisical, so he sent forth prophets to return them to the prescribed ways. This also failed, so he established a local king to rule them rightly. Such is the story of the Kingdom of Eretz. By means of analyzing ...
