The purpose of this book is to help provide answers to the question, "Why do bad things happen to God's people." It is our prayer that this book will also provide hope and encouragement to individuals and families who have been affected by some of life's painful experiences. ____________ Our family has been serving the Lord for more than fifty years, and in spite of that, we have had more than our share of pain and suffering. There are very few trials, hurts, or problems people can face that our family has not already faced. We have had financial problems, health problems, social problems,...

Does The Revelation have any message for the future, or have all of those prophecies already been fulfilled? Some people believe that The Revelation is simply a book of symbols written to encourage the suffering saints of the first century. Others believe that Jesus returned to earth in AD 70, Satan is bound, we are now living in the Kingdom, and the Revelation has no message for these latter days. Still others believe that the Second Coming of Jesus is still future, and that Jesus will literally return to this earth and reign on this earth for one thousand years. This is called the...

As we enter the Easter season we begin to hear things like Lent, Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Mass, the Holy Eucharist, Transubstantiation, Consubstantiation. In addition to this, we have added rabbits and Easter eggs. What is all of this about? Where do we find those things in the Bible? When and where did these ideas find their way into the church? The focus of this booklet is to present the Biblical and historical facts about the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and expose the strange practices and pagan traditions (like Mardi Gras) that have somehow become...

I am no stranger to suicide. I've had three pastor-friends, three cousins, several close friends and church members commit suicide. If the truth is known, many of you who are reading this have probably had thoughts of suicide enter your minds as well. I know I have. But thank God, neither you nor I did it. People dealing with suicide need help and very little is written on this delicate subject. Suicide seems to be the third rail. Everyone is afraid to touch it. I have been in and out of churches for nearly eighty years and during all of those years, I don't remember ever hearing one sermon...

When a person is born, they are given approximately 613,200 hours to live (if they are lucky). After that they are going to die. What's next? What did Jesus teach about life beyond the grave? Where do people go when they die? Does man have a soul that survives death? Are the dead alive and conscious? Is there really a place called heaven? Is there really a place called hell? Is there really a literal fire in hell? Can people in hell see us back here on the earth? What are the people who are now in hell interested in? Do people have a second chance after death? The purpose of this booklet is...

Why should Christians concern themselves with the theory of evolution or intelligent design? After all, if we believe God created everything, what difference does it make if He created the world instantly or used the process of evolution to develop everything gradually over long ages? The theory of evolution is so widely accepted today because it is the only theory which can be legally taught in our public school system, which is a politically protected monopoly. We believe both true Science and the Bible support Intelligent Design. The purpose of this report is to examine the Theory of...

The book of Daniel is the "key" to the entire Old Testament revelation. You must understand Daniel in order to understand God's plan for the nations of the world and God's plan for the nation of Israel. The Holy Spirit revealed to Daniel, information about every world empire from the time of the Babylonian Empire until the Second Coming of Christ and the establishment of His Kingdom. The book of Daniel also contains some very interesting information about things that will happen in the closing days of history. The very last prophecy of Daniel, in fact, is sealed up until the end times. God...

It is becoming increasingly difficult for new believers to find a good Bible preaching church where the pastor still believes the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God.
