The manner of After Crucifixion may be imagined as a moment in which in some unpretentious underground venue, the deep, resonant percussions of subwoofers roll as a carnal wave across the chest and throat before they become the bass line in a conscious musical thought. After Crucifixion has been written for the ears, the chest, the throat, no less than for focused, deliberate, disciplined thought. But it is written, in particular, for bodies befriended by the mystery of life and death

This short 19th-century book explores the evolution of the belief in the Devil, including historical, cultural, and religious influences. Who is this character Satan? Is he an adversary of man working on behalf of the Divine? Is he the archenemy of God, a hideous personification of the worst evil? Does the Devil truly exist, or is this a convenient way to rid humans of personal responsibility for their own evil inclinations? Revisiting the witch burnings in the Middle Ages—justified by alleged allegiance to a dark lord—the author questions the efficacy of such a belief.

"The Spirit of Christmas" is a collection of Henry Van Dyke's thoughts on the subject. "Power corrupts itself, and might cannot save. The Earth is full of ignorant strife, and for this evil there is no cure but by the giving of greater knowledge. It is because men do not understand evil that they yield themselves to its power. Wickedness is folly in action, and injustice is the error of the blind. It is because men are ignorant that they destroy one another, and at last themselves. If there were more light in the world there would be no sorrow."

God knows all things and there is nothing that is hidden from Him. Therefore, if the future is already in existence and is a settled reality then there is no doubt that God knows it exhaustively. Yet, what if the future does not exist as the past did and the present currently does? Is it necessary for an omniscient God to have exhaustive knowledge of a non-existent entity? In his book, "Is the Future Set in Stone?," Pastor Troy J. Edwards presents a thorough examination of the Scriptures, revealing the fact that the future is NOT in existence until it happens. This truth is important to ...

This little book was especially designed for those of you that somehow became discouraged with church, enough to fall off the wagon. So whatever your story is, I'll be the first to sympathize because I was once there myself. But the journey back has implanted a picture of God within me that no one will ever take from me. The most important thing I had to learn was what it really means to love God. Because most of us being raised in church were told from childhood that we were to love Jesus because of what he did for us. Of course, that might be fine for a child, but for us adults, it really should be more than an obligation type of relationship.

Obadiah is a prophecy of judgment on Edom - descendants of Esau who bore a grudge against Judah, the descendants of Jacob. The Edomites viewed all the wealth and prosperity of Judah as rightfully theirs. This centuries-old envy caused them to seek every opportunity to do harm to God’s people. St. Augustine saw in Obadiah an early example of the City of Man opposing the City of God. R. J. Rushdoony brings the conflict even closer, condemning the “spiritual Edomites” of our day who believe evildoers have the power to frustrate the progress of the Kingdom of God.

WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING? Your answer to that questions determines how much God can do in you, through you, and for you.

God's plans for your life are too good and too important for you to settle for little.

Several years ago the Lord told me that I would write a book on Faith. I thought I knew what it would contain, I’m finding now that many chapters needed to be written in my life before I could dispense them to anyone else. In those days, faith was all about the supernatural life that resulted in miracles and healings and such things. In those days, it was enough to trust God for provision. Externally, some might conclude those are the most vital aspects of faith, but they are simply surface compared to knowing Him and the faith that He calls into my our lives on a daily basis. It is this ...

While in the midst of those struggles, I asked the Lord to forgive me for all the wrong that I had done and to put my life on a path that would lead me out of my difficulties.

This short book has been written to share a couple of very important spiritual truths. The first, called the Eternality of Bible Truth, maintains that every word of the Bible has always been true even before it was spoken or written. The second truth is that the Old Testament saints probably did not hear God's audible, out loud voice. That simple statement is not meant to sound heretical. Those words are also not meant to deny anything that Christians have traditionally believed about God. The real message is that what we have many times just accepted as truth in the Bible may in fact not ...
