Foster offers compelling insights into anthropology, theology, and the nature of love.

A seductive spirit is after your soul—and most people never see it coming. The Jezebel spirit is not just a character from the Bible—it's a real, seducing force at work today, manipulating emotions, hijacking relationships, and destroying destinies. It’s not about gender—it’s about control, witchcraft, and bondage. Victims describe losing clarity, emotional control, even spiritual direction under its bewitching influence. Whether through sexual relationships or emotional entanglements, soul ties are formed—unseen chains that connect you to past lovers, manipulators, or spiritual...

Quite simply, three of the most important and well-known confessions of the Reformed faith. The Augsburg Confession is the earliest of the three and is the primary confession of the Lutheran Church. The Heidelberg Catechism was a response written by Zacharias Ursinus and consists of 129 questions and answers. The Westminster Confession is the best known and begins with "What is the chief end of man? Man's chief end is to glorify God, and enjoy Him forever."

The Mystery of the Seven Seals marks a departure on several points from the prevalent understanding of what is written about the seven seals in the book of Revelation. The readers may, perhaps, find some of the author's views to be sensational. However, when they would read the book, it would be quite evident to them that the author doesn't intentionally sensationalize his interpretation of the Scriptures in order to bait his readers to read his book. Through this brief study of the end-time biblical prophecies, the author aims to i) Show his readers how they are living through the period ...

James Spiegel never realized what challenges and adventures he would face in talking about God with his own children. Can we hug God? Will geckos go to heaven? Was Jesus fun to be around? Does God know how many spiders there are in all the basements in the world? These are just a few of the...

There can be no doubt that as a matter of fact a religious life, exclusively pursued, does tend to make the person exceptional and eccentric. I speak not now of your ordinary religious believer, who follows the conventional observances of his country, whether it be Buddhist, Christian, or Mohammedan. His religion has been made for him by others, communicated to him by tradition, determined to fixed forms by imitation, and retained by habit. It would profit us little to study this second-hand religious life.

This book explores both the existence and nature of GOD (Yahweh El Elyon) as well as the many different ways He interacts with creation.

Luis de Molina's Concordia liberi arbitrii (Harmony of Free Will), first published in 1588, is a landmark work in 16th-century philosophy and theology. Emerging from the revival of Iberian scholasticism during the Reformation era, it grapples with the perennial question of reconciling human freedom with divine grace, providence, foreknowledge, and predestination. This complex problem ignited the fierce De Auxiliis controversy, a major doctrinal dispute within the Catholic Church. This seventh and final part—here published as Volume 4 in the English series—contains Molina’s complete ...

Homily Twenty-Nine "On the Subject of the Paralyzed Man Who According to Matthew the Evangelist Was Healed in Capernaum". Also On Godly Sorrow.

The Gospel of Giving is a journey through Scripture, searching for one of God's most profound gifts to humanity. It aims to uncover what has frequently been obscured and overlooked amidst ignorance and neglect—the profound link between stewardship and salvation. Why does an All-able, All-sufficient God ask feeble, imperfect men and women to support His work when He has thousands of angels that excel in strength and rejoice to do His bidding (Psalm 103:20, 21)? How does our involvement in serving God impact our own salvation? How has Satan so successfully used material things to hold the ...

¿CÓMO PUEDO CRECER EN LA VIDA CRISTIANA? ¿DEBE EL CREYENTE INVOLUCRARSE EN LA GUERRA ESPIRITUAL? Para los puritanos, la guerra espiritual era un sinónimo de estar en comunión con Dios. Solamente hay dos clases de personas que no están involucradas activamente en la guerra espiritual: aquellos que no son creyentes, y aquellos creyentes que están viviendo en pecado. No puede haber comunión con Cristo sin guerra espiritual, y la comunión con Cristo siempre tendrá como consecuencia la guerra espiritual. Sin embargo, esta guerra espiritual esta profundamente arraigada en el ...

Even among Christians there is a difference of opinion about the end of the world. All seem to agree there is a spiritual component to end times, but well-loved preacher D. L. Moody provides a sermon on how he interprets the biblical texts on the subject - and why he believes this is God's blessed hope.

Why does Revelation seem so confusing? Why does the patient God of Scripture appear rushed in the end times, and why does Israel, the Old Testament's main character, fade from the last act? For generations Christians have wrestled with these questions. Churches split over rapture timing. Many have given up, calling Revelation confusing or irrelevant. No single view has resolved the contradictions. What if an inherited assumption has misled us?
