Sanctification,
Sin Nature and True Repentance |
|
Holiness
has become almost a buzzword among Christians today, and this teaching
attempts to bring clarity to the whole subject. The relevant biblical
term is sanctification, which is the act of making holy, and which occurs
at the time of the New Birth. But sanctification is also a present process,
because of the sin nature that continues to dwell in us. The teaching
that a Christian no longer has a sin nature is then refuted, which introduces
the need for clear teaching on what constitutes true repentance. The fruits
of true repentance are then identified, which enables us to know when
we have genuinely turned away from sinful habits of belief and practice.

Let's Not Keep The
Secret A Secret |
|
One
of the most critical of all biblical subjects to understand is the secret
set forth in Ephesians, that the Church of the Body of Christ is distinct
from Israel and unique to this current biblical administration. But then
how can Jesus speak to Nicodemus in John 3 about being born again, something
that applies only to Christians in the Church administration? This teaching
resolves that apparent contradiction caused by an error in translation,
and shows from the Old Testament exactly what it was that Jesus expected
Nicodemus to understand. By

What Is Christian
Leadership? |
|
You
can see by this title that it addresses an issue of indescribable importance
to every Christian. This teaching is for anyone aspiring to Christian
leadership, as well as for any believers who have been abused by Christian
leaders and who are now suspicious of or even negative toward the whole
idea of leadership in the Church. We are enthused about what this teaching
can do for your relationship with God, the Lord Jesus and your Christian
brethren. By

There is much confusion
in Christian circles about all that happens in a person when he is born
again. This inspirational teaching identifies and briefly expounds upon
24 biblical terms describing the New Birth and all that occurs in the
believer at that one-time event: seed, adoption, inheritance, anointed,
baptized, sealed, filled with the holy spirit, etc. In this teaching,
these terms are likened to the spokes of a wheel, a powerful tool we use
to carry heavy burdens. In the New Birth, God empowers us to carry the
burdens of our own lives, as well as of those to whom we minister. By

A Matter Of Life
And Death |
|
This teaching encapsulates
the material covered in our book titled Is There Death After Life? The
issue of what happens to someone when he dies is one that has plagued
the human heart since the dawn of man. The stark reality of death itself
is so overwhelming to man that throughout the centuries theory upon theory
about its aftermath has been propounded. Most of these deny the reality
of death, and thus negate the glorious truth of resurrection life available
only through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Understanding this truth
will help you more greatly appreciate what he did at Calvary. By

Take My Word For
It |
|
This is a teaching
on the subject of faith, without which, according to Scripture, it is
impossible to please God. How so? That's one thing covered in the teaching.
You will also learn what faith is, how you can have it and how it can
grow in your heart. Whether or not we trust God (have faith) is the bottom
line for every Christian no matter how much he matures in the Lord. It
is available for you to keep the faith. By

Defeating The Enemy
Within |
|
This teaching is
for humans only. If you are in that category, the "statement of the
problem" is most pertinent: "Something is wrong with me."
This teaching shows that the problem is "the sin that dwells in us,"
and that the only solution on a daily basis is the Savior from sin, Jesus
Christ. It biblically demonstrates the necessity for each Christian to
recognize this internal enemy and allow his helplessness against it to
drive him into the arms of the Lord Jesus. The Bible is the story of two
Adams, and each Christian has those two Adams within him. This teaching
will help you to be more like the Last Adam, Jesus Christ. By

Good News! Read
All About It! |
|
This teaching gives
a detailed explanation of "the Gospel of Christ," relating the
good news of Christ's victory over the tyrant, sin. It exhorts us to rejoice
in the privilege of bearing this "good news" to those who are
in need of salvation, and relates the credibility of the Scripture to
the effective publishing of this good news. This news remains continually
relevant in our ongoing battle against "the sin that dwells in us,"
enabling us to honestly face our sinful flesh in the light of God's acceptance
and justification. This teaching shows how the concept of "good news"
can help the believer separate truth from error, because false teachings
are clearly not very good news at all. By

Running For The
Prize |
|
What value is there
in really working hard for the Lord and striving to obey Him? Why not
just get saved and then do what's convenient and comfortable? This teaching
clearly sets forth the difference between salvation and the rewards
that Christ will give to those believers who have earned them. It
also suggests what some of those rewards may be and teaches why the subject
of future rewards is so misunderstood in most churches today. We believe
it will help to motivate you to more diligently and enthusiastically walk
with the Lord Jesus Christ. By

The Purpose Of The
Ages |
|
We believe this teaching
is one of the most important we have ever done, because it presents an
overview of the "administrations" in Scripture from Paradise
lost to Paradise regained. We assert that if one does not understand these,
the Bible will in large part be a closed book, especially in terms of
its practical application to life today. The teaching focuses on the Administration
of Grace and the Church of the Body of Christ that began on the day of
Pentecost. It shows how Jesus Christ is the golden thread that runs throughout
and holds together the royal tapestry of truth, the Word of God. This
is a "must hear" teaching. By

The Ten Commandments

The New Testament
teaching that Christians are not "under the Law" has often been
misunderstood to the end that the directions given in the Old Testament
have not been studied or applied. Although it is true that the Christian
is not under the Levitical statutes pertaining to sacrifices, ritual cleansing,
etc., the fact is that there are many laws of God written in the Old Testament
that believers today need to obey. This teaching explains how the Christian
can separate the laws that were "done away" in Christ from the
ones still applicable. It gives special attention to the Ten Commandments
and how they are to be applied today. By

Perfecting Holiness In The Fear Of God |
|
Holiness is not a
destination, but a lifelong journey. The finished work of Jesus Christ
is the starting point for each Christian's journey, and it is also the
reason why each of us can become like Him, despite the sin nature that
dwells in us. "Holiness" means conformity in thought, word and
deed to the character of God, our Father. It is available for us to achieve
this character to a great degree, and we hope this teaching will help
you move forward on your own personal path of righteousness. By
