New Church

Now you're a Christian. You've given your life to Christ. Naturally, you have questions. "What have I done?" is a big one. "How do I be a Disciple?" is common. "What if I sin?" is one we all must consider. "How do I study the Bible?" is important to ask. Becoming a Christian is not the end, but the beginning. You have questions (a lot of them). That's okay. The Bible has the answers. Let's talk about it...

Fell invites readers to step away from performance-driven worship and return to something more ancient, more authentic, and more aligned with Scripture: heartfelt a cappella praise.

Jesus is real. He is with you. He is for you. He is your pastor. And he wants to be the pastor of your church. These statements might seem obvious, but what if we all took them seriously? Aaron Gerrard did just that in his journey to plant a church in Ancaster, Ontario, Canada. In a new book, Quit Pastoring Your Church, he tells the story of a small church making Jesus their pastor. Gerrard candidly shares his journey to start a new kind of church by allowing Jesus to be the guide, and it radically impacted the story of this new congregation.

Our nation and American Christianity are both in crisis, with mainline Protestant, Roman Catholic, and conservative Evangelical churches experiencing significant decline. Distrust in traditional institutions, clergy abuse scandals, and increasing partisanship have driven many away, particularly younger adults who reject the sexism, racism, and intolerance in conservative denominations. As the nation reckons with systemic racism highlighted by events such as the Charlottesville rally, George Floyd’s murder, and the Capitol insurrection, churches must face their roles in perpetuating or ...

Judaism Versus ChristianityThis project also developed into under-standing the differences between Christianity and rabbinic Judaism. The primary difference is that Christianity claims to believe the Master Yahusha, the one whom they insist on calling “Lord Jesus Christ,” but they twist the Scriptures that would show them that believing the Master Yahusha includes believing Moshe (Moses). Rabbinic Judaism does the same in the opposite direction: claiming to believe and follow Moshe, but twisting the Scriptures that show that the Master Yahusha is indeed the promised Messiah, recognizing...

The Church of Christ, at this present hour, is host to a multitude of frustrated and disenchanted ministers and scholars. From the inside of ministry, the veneer of our movement disappears and the blemishes take center-stage. Discouragement is common. In response to this state of affairs, we asked an eclectic cast of authors, ministers, and scholars to answer the question, "Why did you stay within our movement?" The result is a diverse set of answers which we hope will create some hope for the future of our people. Contents: Preface, Scot McKnight Introduction, Benjamin J. Williams I Stayed...

BRILLIANTS ¬ Selected from the Writings of C. H. SPURGEON *** ¬ The truest lengthening of life is to live while we live, wasting no time, but using every hour for the highest ends. *** So sweet are the comforts of the Lord, that not only the saints themselves may sing of them, but even the heavens and the earth may take up the song. It Cakes something to make a mountain sing; and yet the prophet summons quite a choir of them. Lebanon, and Sirion, and the high hills of Bashan and Moab, he would set them all singing because of Jehovah's grace to His own Zion. May we not also make mountains ...

This is the fourth book in a series of books I have written about the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). I have drawn from other portions of my other writings to have some continuity with my other writings. However, in this particular book I wanted to have the focus upon NAR apostles and their beliefs in apostolic government. I wanted to make a concentrated writing in which people outside the New Apostolic Reformation could understand NARs emphasis on apostles. I have included some quotes from several famous NAR apostles to validate their doctrinal beliefs. Even though I have named them, it ...

Are the Old Testament's messianic-era prophecies fulfilled in the church? Yes! Are these same prophecies fulfilled in Israel? Yes! The church does not completely "replace" Israel. How can this be? Because Israel fulfills these prophecies literally, and the church fulfills them spiritually (figuratively). Throughout her long history, the church has generally assumed that these prophecies describe the final, immortal, blessed ("saved") state, and thus can only be spiritually fulfilled in the church.
