Culture is a way of life. Professing Christians may choose a godly culture or an ungodly culture. The author explains: "The words of Jesus versus the words of the devil is the same scenario as in the Garden of Eden. Our human choice is between God's Word or the serpent's alternative. It is a life and death choice one must make." Each chapter in this book throws out the gauntlet for Christians to choose a godly culture. The author is forthright about the condition of the church relative to the culture. Is it, "A Cultural Reality" or "A Cultural Casualty?" The author has more questions that must be answered. "Does the Church reflect the True Light or has it succumbed to the influences of haziness and darkness? Is the Church a viable part of the solution or a contributor to the cultural problem?" With the benefit of a lifetime of wisdom and confidence in the Word of God, this book will help you answer those questions. This book is basic Christian doctrine.

This book traces the first thirty years of the church with a particular emphasis on the mission and ministry of the church. The mission of the church is to make disciples and teach the whole counsel of God. The ministry of the church is to prepare the saints (the people of God) to understand the purpose and engage in the mission of the church. In recent church history, Evangelical churches have devoted an extraordinary amount of time, effort, and money on "church growth" methods rather than on the biblical mission and ministry of the church. The first thirty years of the church reveals "church growth" from a biblical perspective. "And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved" (Acts 2:47).

This book is written so that simple words like faith or not so simple words like aseity are explained in plain language.

How do you bring someone who is really smart to Christ? You know; the person that accuses you of leaving your brain in the car when you go to worship. Someone who believes - "Science seems to have the money in the bank that overrules any plausibility of theism." Yet, this same really smart person may also believe their "being is meant for something rather than nothing." The agnostic's prayer is "Dear God, if there is a God, save my soul, if I have a soul. To a born again believer the agnostic's prayer may seem foolish but WHAT IF it opens our agnostic's mind? John's book is not easy apologetics. It is written to grab our aforementioned really smart thinker with insightful arguments. Truth in the Flesh is an apologist's textbook, written by an adjunct philosophy teacher, intimate with defending the claims of Christianity. It will serve you well to read the book. It will serve you better to apply it.

Red Rover is a childhood game of interlocking arms to capture those on the opposing side.

You'll begin the journey with the author's testimony; you'll experience his struggles with telling the world about Christ and learn about useful methods to overcome those fears; you'll finish the journey with his life in the foreign mission field.

I am sure you have heard Christians say, "I believe in keeping the Ten Commandments." Unfortunately, many of them are not able to quote the Ten Commandments. I wrote this book so Christians might discover or re-discover the meaning of the Ten Commandments, based on the full counsel of God. The underlying motivation was to help Christians develop a worldview that includes God's moral law.God's law is not merely a series of moral injunctions. The nature of its content is much broader than the Ten Commandments found in Exodus twenty. I hope this book will challenge Christians to further study God's law. For example, the chapter on the fourth commandment explains the Christian work ethic based on the commandment, "Six days you shall labor and do all your work."I have worked on this project from time to time for over twenty years. It always challenges me to a deeper understanding of what Christ accomplished for me; by saving me from the law so I might serve Him by keeping the law.I hope this book will help Christians make godly choices.

We are standing at the threshold of Cultural Captivity. It is no less real than Israel's years of bondage in Egypt (1500 BC). It is not dissimilar to the oppression and captivity of Babylon (587 BC). It is nearing the severity of Rome's oppression of Christians in the First Century. Despite the many warning signs, they have been ignored and we now stand at a point of complete domination by the culture and a Cultural Captivity. This book examines some of the trends that have become overwhelming and a strong influence upon the direction of the nation and world. Biblical history reminds us that there have been other times of major cultural captivities, but God proved His faithfulness and purpose as He delivered an indentured and oppressed people and gave them a new hope.

This is a book about death. However, a one-word characterization of any book is likely to be too general to be helpfully descriptive. The subtitle, Reflections on the End of Life and What Comes After, provides a more meaningful representation.Arguably, humankind's two most enduring questions are: What is the meaning of life? and, Is there an afterlife? Noteworthy is both questions are unanswerable if definitive, irrefutable answers are being sought. The endurance of these essentially unanswerable questions imply a feature unique to human beings. To be human is to be curious about our place in the creation and if we have a place somewhere after we die. Both curiosities involve our existence and whether it comes to an end. Moreover, there is a curiosity about whether our earthly conduct has consequences for what, if anything, awaits us after our death.

The principles revealed in this book are rooted in the infallible Word of God. The author's irrefutable assertions will cause Christians to muse over the condition of the church. He said, "It cannot be stressed too often that accommodation or adaptation to the desires of the culture is not the acceptable alternative for the 21st Century Church." The pages of this book reveal the biblical principles for a prosperous 21st Century Church.

Friendship is a popular concept. Having a large number of friends was popularized by the social media such as Twitter and Facebook. Friendship involves a relationship of distinction.

The Dominant Culture examines the culture of Israel during the period of the Judges. Everyone is under the influence of a culture. Every culture has cultural elites, the people who have the greatest influence over a particular culture. Philosophers, theologians, educators, politicians, actors, or anyone of celebrity status will influence culture with their worldviews. The time of the Judges in ancient Israel is relevant to our postmodern culture in the United States. Unless Christians understand the historical principals that caused spiritual and cultural devastation for generation after generation, they will repeat history and lose their culture. The timeliness of this book provides the framework for cultural recovery.

You will be drawn in to the worship experience of the Old Testament worshippers. You will feel their sorrow in the valley and their joy on the mountain.

This book calls Christians to take a fresh look at the essentials of Christian doctrine. When Alice in Wonderland asked the cat where she ought to go the cat said "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to." Christians have purpose and a final goal "to get to" and "The Essence of Christian Doctrine" is a valuable tool for that process.This work is an explanation of the essential doctrine of Christianity based on the teaching found in the Apostles' Creed. It further explains other basic Christian doctrine like creation, sin, and salvation. The author explains how the Ten Commandments are basic to Christian doctrine and includes a chapter on biblical evangelism.

The author looks for the church with the present truth of Scripture as His guide. The Summary of The Present Truth is found in this remark about the State of the Church. "The More I look at the church the less I see of the church. The more I look at the American culture, the more I see the church." Each chapter is practically theological and purposely penetrates the surface of evangelical church. It is the present truth.

The stories in this book tell the suffering and pain of real people living in the real world. It also describes how God works to bring about good in the face of trials and struggles. However, in each instance God proved that He is still active in the affairs of His children. There is always the "blessed afterwards" of these trials of darkness. Just as gold and silver are found in the deepest places in the earth, so, too, are God's secret treasures that He allows each sorrowing child to discover as they dig into His word and find joy in His Presence. Each story in this book illustrates how God worked in the life of each suffering individual and how He can work in yours.
