The Mystery of God: A Biblical Approach to Understanding the Godhead. 
In this book, we will explore the mystery of God; that is, the doctrine of the Trinity or Triune God. For years, the debate continues as to whether Jesus Christ and the Father are the same or if they are separate. Answers to this controversy are within the word of God which clearly reveals the truth. 
In addition, we will plainly discuss the Godhead; that is, the divine nature of God. Through the presentation of biblical truth, we will bring clarity to this controversial subject.

The Doctrine of Spiritual Warfare: Understanding the Enemy of the Christian
The devil is real. His number one deception is to cause mankind not to believe in his existence. The Bible tells us otherwise. As believers, we must understand that we have an adversary, and we must engage in spiritual warfare.
Because God is love, debates have been ongoing as to how He could create such an evil being who wreaked havoc on the world. God created Lucifer in all righteousness. But he chose to become corrupt. In this issue, we will provide an introduction to spiritual warfare. It is our hope that Christians will discover who the adversary is and how to overcome him.

The Doctrine of Sanctification: Understanding Sanctification and Holiness in the Christian Life
Sanctification is a vital aspect of the Christian experience. Those who come to Christ are sanctified; that is, set apart for God s plan and purpose. However, sanctification is not just a positional work of grace, but also a conditional work of believers as they grow in the knowledge of Christ. In this issue, we will discuss the doctrine of sanctification and its place in the Christian s life. In addition, we will explore the conditional and positional aspects of sanctification and its relationship to holiness.

On Defending the Faith (Post 1): The Mandate of Christian Apologetics

What is truth? This question posed by Pilate to Jesus has challenged philosophers, thinkers, and theologians. However (like Pilate who walked away after his inquiry) many who claim they are in search of truth, really have no interest in finding "truth" because it will demand a lifestyle response. Therefore, many make truth elusive, especially where the divine is concerned, so no ultimate commitment or rejection is required due to glorified agnosticism. Though there have been distortions of the Christian faith, doctrine, and practice, the core truth claims of Christianity remain. The Christian, today, has to be willing to stand on the faith and have the proper approach, appeal, and apparatus to defend the faith. This post is the beginning of a three part series concerning Christian apologetics. When individuals hear the word apologetics, they oftentimes feel this is reserved for a special class of Christians who are well versed, educated, and hold some sort of ecclesiastical a...

On Defending the Faith (Post 2): The Mindset of Christian Apologetics

Relativism is an established doctrine of today's society. Though there are those who hold to traditional values with respect to culture and religion, the global trend is to promote the idea of "personal truth." This means that what is true for one, may not be true for another: just live out your own truth. Because of this prevailing attitude toward faith and spirituality, the Christian must be spiritually and mentally prepared to engage in apologetics. The Christian must have the proper mindset while standing in defense of the faith. Continuing our examination of I Peter 3:15-16, we find that Peter gives us the proper mindset needed for effective apologetics. "...but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you..." (I Peter 3:15a)         As opposed to the generalized theism presented in society, the Christian has to have a passionate, unwavering fear, reveren...
