Five hundred years ago, a monk named Martin Luther wrote ninety-five questions, hoping to start a discussion about sin and repentance at the University of Wittenberg in Germany.

In this volume for children, Simonetta Carr tells the compelling story of this father of the Protestant Reformation.

William Sydney Porter was born on 11th September 1862 in Greensboro, North Carolina. At age 3 his mother died from tuberculosis.

DECEPTION IN THE CHURCH by Fred DeRuvo asks Does It Matter How You Worship? There are 41,000 different denominations that call themselves "Christian" and all would claim that they are the truth. Can just any Christian denomination please God? Can all be true or genuine Christianity if they all have different views on the same Bible doctrines? DeRuvo will answer. He will focus on the largest part of Christianity that has many different denominations, the charismatic, ecstatic Signs and Wonders Movements. These ecstatic worshipers claim to perform miraculous “healings” and speak in ...

The purpose of this book, and that of others that will follow in the ARS, is to shed light on certain practices, structures, systems, and institutions that we have adopted in Africa and that we continue to follow, even though they may not be tangibly furthering our progress and development as individuals, as communities, as nations, and as a Continent.

Scottish reformer John Knox taught that Mass was an idolatrous practice. In 1550, the Roman Catholic church brought a charge against him for this controversial position. He defended this belief in front of the council of the North, stating, “I do affirm the Mass to be, and at all times to have been, idolatry and abomination before God.” His thorough, scriptural argument was so convincing that he was allowed to continue his preaching unhindered.

Martin Luther would have written a glowing recommendation of this book if he were alive today. In part one, Beckham explors the traditional church paradigm and the history that drives it compared to a cell-based model for church life. In part two, Beckham explains how the structure of a cell-based church reflects God's nature and embraces both Christ's transcendence and immanence. In the third part of the book, Jesus' revolutionary design for the church is explored. The Second Reformation: Reshaping the church for the 21st century is a thinking man's guide to the cell-based church.

It is no secret that our world desperately needs change. Politicians know this and use it to collect votes. Journalists exploit it to sell newspapers and magazines. Advertisers, to sell everything else. Each of these groups (and countless others) spend their lives working to convince others that they hold the key to a better country, a better life, a better future. But what exactly is this change we all long for? And how can it ever come about?

Two days before Super Bowl XLI in 2007, the game's two opposing head coaches posed with the trophy one of them would hoist after the contest. It was a fairly unremarkable event, except that both coaches were African American - a fact that was as much of a story as the game itself. As Jeremi Duru reveals in Advancing the Ball, this unique milestone resulted from the work of a determined group of people whose struggles to expand head coaching opportunities for African Americans ultimately changed the National Football League.

In this 500th Reformation celebration year of Martin Luther's posting of his 95 theses on the door at Wittenberg in Germany, Oct 31, 1517, it seems appropriate to republish some of the classic books about Dr. Martin Luther's life, ministry, and ideas. He was a passionate, highly educated man that believed without question that all the words found in the Bible, both Old and New Testament, were the very Words of God, needed for people everywhere.

He is regarded today as one of the most influential figures in the history of the world. But to those who knew him intimately, Martin Luther was more than just the leader of an important historical revolt; he was a man of vision, commitment, and passion, determined to serve his Lord and purify the degenerate world church.

This eschatological position and doctrinal philosophy is called Kingdom Now or Dominion Theology. To really understand NAR hype and manipulation just listen to any NAR apostle teach out of the book of Revelation. For NAR must explain away how all these prophetic judgments, battle of Armageddon, and the Antichrist has already been fulfilled in history. A very elaborate system of lies and twisting of Scriptures and historical facts. I trust this is where the hypocrisy of the NAR Movement is clearly seen, as they mock the Premillennial beliefs of Christians who see the book of Revelation in ...
