Profound Mystery

Creation Books

Creation, Chaos, & Restoration

Who has not gazed  at the stars on a clear night and wondered

at the origin of the universe?

Who has not marveled at the order and precise workings of our

own planet and pondered its cause? Finally, the most profound

mystery of all: How did life begin?

Did our complex, orderly universe simply explode into existence

by chance alone? Did lifeless matter accidentally spawn living

organisms over millions of years, or was everything created instantly

by an omnipotent designer? Only the infallible Word of God

accurately answers these questions.

God instantly created  the heavens and the earth. This pristine earth,

originally occupied by the angels, became a chaotic ruin following

Satan's revolt against God. In grace God restored  the planet in six

days for human habitation. Learn the divine account of the origin

of the universe and the human race.

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn , hope that if you just

show up and try to do the right things, the dawn will come.

You wait and watch and work: you don't give up.

Against The Gates Of Hell

Victorious Proclamation

History's most unique testimony to the Gospel occurred

shortly after Jesus Christ rose from the grave. Christ em-

barked on a remarkable journey to make"proclamation to

the spirits in prison." Who were these spirits? Why and

where were they incarcerated? The spirits were the "sons

of God" of Genesis 6, Satan's minions, who waged war in 

the antediluvian civilization to prevent the advent of Jesus

Christ through whom God would fulfill His promise of 

salvation. When  God judged the earth with a worldwide

flood, He imprisoned these transgressing demons in Tartarus.

Jesus Christ's pronouncement of His victory on the cross 

resounded against the gates of hell. The resurrected Christ

was visible proof to the incarcerated demons of the utter

failure and defeat of Satan's strategy. Jesus Christ had paid 

the penalty for sin so that anyone can express faith in Him

and enter into a relationship with God for all eternity.

Hagar

"You are now pregnant and you will give birth to a son. You shall name

him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard of your misery. He will be a wild donkey 

of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him,

and  he will live in hostility toward all his brothers"

Genesis 11

We Must Eliminate Confusion

Satan And Demonism

Before the beginning of human  history, Satan and his angels instigated  a 

conflict in the spiritual realm that continues to this very moment. The drama

of  this  spiritual warfare storms across the pages of the Bible from Genesis to

Revelation. Mankind was created to resolve this ancient conflict, but Satan and

the unseen demon hordes he commands will not suffer defeat without an intense

struggle.One tactic  Satan  employs is the  varied  facets of demon activity, which

have plagued  mankind since  the fall of Adam. Demonism  blinds  unbelievers to

the  Gospel, distracts believers from the  spiritual life, and threatens  nations  with

divine judgment. Those who are ignorant or confused about Satan's subtle strategies

 become easy prey. The Bible emphatically warns against courting or consorting  with

any from of demonism. Critical questions continually arise: How do people become

enmeshed in demonism? What is demon influence? Who can be demon possessed? Is

exorcism valid? How can the believer  protect himself  from the  demonic? Only the

Bible can answer  these questions and   eliminate the  confusion.

Understanding

Levitical Offerings

Depicted the person and work of Christ before He  "became flesh

and tabernacled among us". The Jewish rituals revealed in the Old

Testament give us a new appreciation of our magnificent Savior.

Why is  He the "Lamb of God"? Why is His saving work called the

"blood of Christ"? Five Levitical offerings instituted in Leviticus 1---6

teach vital doctrines concerning our so-great salvation and the mechanics

of recovering temporal fellowship with God after committing sin. Generation

upon generation of believers learned Bible doctrine from these dramatic

ceremonies,  and as we view our Lord's work from this ancient perspective,

we increase our own understanding of God's Word.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust

in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the

Holy Spirit.

Rom. 15:13

A Single Star

In Harm's Way

This message is dedicated to men and women in the military who are

on active duty. The present crises in the Middle East remind us again

that military service is honorable and a part of full-time Christian service.

 God has ordained and given us wonderful principles of doctrine

related to freedom through military victory and the maintenance of peace

 by military deterrent. In World War I and II, the Blue Star Service Banner

   was proudly displayed in the windows of the homes of those serving

 in the United States armed forces. Each family member in the service was

represented by a single star. The banner served as a constant reminder of

those in foreign lands fighting to preserve our freedom.

The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of God stands forever.

Isa. 40:8

Cherished Liberty

Freedom Through Military Victory

Can a believer in Jesus Christ serve his country as a soldier, kill the enemy, and

 at the same time be a good Christian? Can a believer justify being a conscientious

 objector? Did God contradict Himself in the commandments, "You shall not murder"

and "You  shall defeat them, then you shall utterly destroy them"? The Bible answers

  these critical questions. God established a principle by which a nation may guard

 its sovereignty, maintain its freedom, and protect its citizenry from the horrors of

 conquest by a foreign power. An alert and

  stalwart military force averts armed conflict and deters wanton aggression. Yet when

an enemy aggressor will not be deterred, the military must defend and protect those

who cannot defend themselves. those in military service who place a higher value on

their families, friends, and nation then on their own lives ensure the survival of our

cherished liberty. Just as the Lord Jesus Christ made the greatest sacrifice of all history

on the cross-- dying so that mankind might have eternal life---so the military warriors

sacrifice their time, their fortunes, and sometimes their lives that others might live in

freedom.

" I am the light of the world. Whoever follows  Me will never

walk in darkness, but will have the light of life"

Etched In Time

The Divine Outline Of History:

Dispensations And The Church

The divine outline of history is etched  in time and explained 

in the Word of God. God unfolds His plan for mankind as a 

sequence of historical epochs. Unique characteristics identify

each period as a distinct  administration or "dispensation" of

divine  grace. God Himself  never changes. His  successive 

dispensations achieve His unchanging purpose, revealing His

self  and His perfect glory in every human situation. This book

casts a dramatic light on Jesus Christ, the focal point of human

history. Biblical mandates for the current epoch, the Age of the

Church, clarify the Christian's role in history and his unique

opportunity for glorifying Christ.

Book By R.B. Thieme, Jr. 

Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the 

Lord's purpose that prevails.
