You have to wonder sometimes. Though the visible church is being overrun by Contemplative Prayer, Church Growth movements, Seeker-Sensitive thinking, the Emergent Church, Spiritual Formation and a host of dangerous philosophies that are squelching the authentic gospel with what Paul would call "another" gospel, there are far too many individuals who seem unable to see the forest for the trees.

A commentary on the book of Revelation, chapters 5 - 22, in plain English. This commentary has been written for the average individual. In this commentary on Revelation, author Fred DeRuvo draws back the curtain on chapters five through twenty-two, presenting information in an easy-to-understand style, written for the average person. Whether he succeeds or not is up to each reader to decide. One thing is certain regarding the book of Revelation. Because of its prophetic nature, Christians will continue to debate aspects of it until such a time as we can know for certain. Either the things...

As if it is not enough that there are wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes, tsunamis, and more weird weather, humanity seems to have a growing preoccupation with the world of aliens. Any numbers of movies today include the topic of either angels, aliens, or alternative dimensions. Because our world seems to have gotten smaller due to technology, it is as if everyone senses we are outgrowing this planet. Something big is on the verge of occurring. Because one country cannot sneeze without all other countries knowing about it, the natural propensity is too gaze to the skies for answers...and...

We are not only seeing a proliferation of books purported to be from aliens friendly to us, but are also experiencing a growing multitude of people who simply receive the messages from these aliens as truth without question. Why is that? What do these aliens allegedly teach that makes their truth seem so inviting? Years ago, it was relatively unheard of to take books like this seriously unless you were in that small segment of the population that lived within that fringe group mindset. Today, it is fast becoming the norm and people from all walks of life are not only accepting messages from...

Society has changed...drastically over the past decades. Why is that? Plain and simply, it is due to the fact that people have become more preoccupied with Self. We often see Self as simply a force or an idea. In this book, Dr. Fred presents Self as an entity capable of getting things done its way and using the individual to accomplish it. In essence, Self easily becomes the master to every person who is not under the control of God's Holy Spirit, with the person becoming the slave. Our global society has placed an increasing emphasis on doing things that make a person feel good about...

We hear all the time how bad things are getting throughout the world. Many seem unable or unwilling to see it. Do we chalk it all up to being the normal cycles that occur in life, or is something else going on behind the scenes? What if this generation alive now turns out to be the last one before Jesus returns? Is that all just a bunch of hogwash, or is there any truth at all to the claim that Jesus will return one day? In this book, author and speaker Fred DeRuvo goes through the process of determining what if anything the Bible actually has to say on this subject. If you are one who has...

What is it that causes people to want to know the secret things of the universe, whether they are true or not? Clearly, knowledge is power and power can feel absolute when it is kept within a cloistered group. It appears as though there has been a deliberately hidden, yet clear goal, known only to those who have been initiated within the various esoteric societies that have existed throughout the ages. These societies use secrecy to draw in those who seek power and dominion over the entire earth through coming cataclysmic changes. For generations now, evil has seen fit to share its gnosis...

The book of Jude is only twenty-five verses in length, but it packs a spiritual wallop Jude, the brother of James (and half-brother of our Lord Jesus), writes a message to believers about the times in which they lived. Those times are not at all that much different from the days in which we now live. Jude warns against apostasy, licentiousness, and the mockers that are destined to be part of the last days. Even during Jude's day, mocking the Lord's return had already begun. How much worse is it today, roughly 2,000 years later?

This book is designed for General and Special Education as well as the English Language Learner. Includes reproducible outlines covering a variety of topics like the Rain Forest, Native Americans, the Gold Rush, State Report, and many more

Prayer. At its most basic, it is talking with the God of the universe. That, in an of itself, is one of the most amazing aspects of prayer. However, what is God's purpose for authentic Christians in prayer? Throughout Scripture, we see prayers of all types, prayers of hope, prayers of desperation, prayers of praise, and prayers of discovery. For the authentic Christian, the highest calling we have is to commune with God through prayer in order to discover God's will. Too often today, people are taught that prayer is a tool to use to fulfill our own requests. We are unabashedly taught that...
