Spiritual Church

If Jesus wrote you a letter, what would he say? What might he say to your church, or to the church across town? We actually have a living, breathing template in Scripture that provides great insight to these vital questions. The first three chapters of the Revelation contain dynamic messages that Jesus spoke to seven local churches.

After my studying the denial and affirmation techniques of Emma Curtis Hopkins and writing my book “God Is, God Isn’t”, I have begun to read differently. I now find the popular moral, spiritual and psychological literature that I usually enjoy reading to be stuck in a rut of telling us what is wrong with us, rather than what is good. It appears to me a gross obsession of our entire society: to focus and accentuate the negative and eliminate the positive. What could be more like Hell? With my new tools and insight, I had difficulty reading many of my favorite books. A Course of ...

Our great prophets had a vision, a profound experience of the divine. Each shared that vision with the people of the time, in the language of their era. Illiterate audiences undoubtedly appreciated and stood in awe of these human interpretations of God. These ancient and profound descriptions of the divine have since been interpreted by holy men and women—as well as many kooks and zealots who not only claimed to speak for God but who claimed they were God. Science then added to our religious knowledge placing us in a unique historical position to exercise our freedom of spiritual choice ...

This book has been written to share what I discovered during a unique experience in late 1989 and early 1990. While that experience was not very pleasant, the discoveries that I made have more than made up for any of those anxieties which I felt. After having been a Christian for a little over twenty-two years, I suddenly and without warning lost my job. Since at that time I had been faithful in the Lord's work for over fifteen years, plus had also done very well within my profession, being released from my employment did not seem logical. Therefore, from the very beginning, I acknowledged ...

Ever since Jesus' commission to make disciples in his name, Christianity has transformed lives and the world at large. To those watching, it must have looked like an upstart religion led by a group of men, most of whom were martyred for their beliefs. The voice of secular culture today is no louder and no more indulgent than it was in those days. And yet much of the Western church has settled for becoming just another mass media market that's adding to the noise, instead of a movement that continues to turn the world upside down.

According to one song, “today is only yesterday’s tomorrow” - which means that tomorrow starts today! But we aren’t going to see our future by looking at the past. Yes, we need to celebrate and honor what has brought us to where we are. However, it will not be enough to get us to what God has in store. We need to let go of the old to receive the new.

Along with the promised world-wide outpouring of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:17), Jesus and the Biblical writers warn of a time of great deception at the end of the age. In this volume, Dr. Eddie Hyatt shows how this deception is already at work today in prophetic and revival movments. He also provides tools for recognizing and defeating these emissaries of Satan who come, not in red suits carring pitchforks, but disguised as “angels of light.”

I wrote this book mainly because of the confusion among Brethren. This book deals with sensitive subject matter; because God’s Truth matters. This book will clear up the divide concerning what’s correct Biblically and what’s not. It will divide God’s Truth and human error. It will bring clarity to those searching for God’s Truths on matters of Salvation concerning the unborn and including children who die without Christ. This book will help clear up the confusion once and for all concerning the Apostolic Age. It will also uncover what Catholics believe and what God’s Word truly ...

Supreme Court—navigate the intersection of faith and reason, inviting readers to engage in a spirited dialogue that transcends the boundaries of time and belief. Thomas Jefferson was the 3rd President of the United States and he also drafted a version of the Bible that created religious inquiry and historical intrigue from its inception. In this thought-provoking exploration, author Thomas Huening embarks on a daring quest to unravel the complexities of faith, freedom, and the enigmatic ...

Embarking on a spiritual journey, the search for the right church is guided by a profound understanding that Jesus is the cornerstone. The words, "I am the way, the truth, and the life," become a guiding principle, directing the search towards a community that actively embodies these declarations. A church that centers on Jesus becomes a spiritual family, fostering unity and mutual encouragement. However, the heart of the matter lies in the personal relationship with Jesus—a source of strength, comfort, and guidance that permeates every aspect of life.

Many of us as women feel conflicted about Jesus’s calling on our lives because a woman trying to love God beyond her heart and soul, with her mind and strength, can be thought of as crossing some line or unspoken boundary. Bible teacher Kat Armstrong challenges us to ask, “Why am I allowing limitations on my pursuit of Jesus’s calling?”

Johnnie Moore, like many American Christians, didn't fully appreciate the extent of Christian persecution in other parts of the world - until he witnessed the graduation of theology students in India. Unlike graduation ceremonies in America - where feel-good speeches made by visiting celebrities are common - this one featured a remarkable oath. It wasn't an oath to excel or succeed. It was an oath to be willing to die, if necessary, for the cause of Christ. This was no empty promise. This was a choice, choosing the eternal over the temporal.

An excellent resource for both individuals and arts ministry teams, the book includes slice-of-church-life scenarios, group discussion questions, and personal action steps.
