"Whom shall I believe?" We open the Bible and at once voices on every side cry at us to follow their way of reading it! But which pathway to understanding is the true one? How can I know which teacher to follow, or what commentary to believe? Or should I simply follow my conscience? The best help in this dilemma is a good understanding of an art called hermeneutics. That is what this book is about."Hermeneutics" comes from the name of the god Hermes, which the Greeks borrowed and u...

You are about to begin a fascinating adventure: a quest to penetrate the veil, to step into another dimension, to learn what is happening in the world of spirits.Our quest is in two sections, the first (this book) deals with the kingdom of light, and the second (my book Demonology) with the kingdom of darkness. You will find familiar things here; you may also find things that startle and amaze you. Unless you are already full of knowledge, I am sure the following pages will enrich ...

When God made Adam and Eve in his "image" he gave them a form that was a reflection of the divine. Built into that first human couple was a resemblance in physical form to the spiritual form of God. Their life came from God, their human personality, the laws of their existence, the nature of their minds, were all based on the divine pattern.Because of that "likeness", and though they were physical beings, Adam and Eve were able to enjoy free and delightful communion with God. The re...

This is the first part of a two part series on "Christology" - or the study of Christ. The subject is presented in two parts, a study of Jesus as a man, which is this study, and a study of Jesus as God, and for no other reason than an attempt to make this study a little easier to grasp..."The coming of Jesus into the world is the most stupendous event in human history ... whatever is truly admirable in the achievements of the succeeding centuries, in art and literature, in music an...

The city of Corinth in southern Greece was founded by Julius Caesar in 46 B.C. as a Roman colony, upon the ruins of an ancient town. Within 100 years it had grown to a great cosmopolitan seaport, and eventually attained a population of possibly 500,000 inhabitants, many thousands of whom were slaves.The location of Corinth on a narrow isthmus gave it both access to the sea from a port on either side, and a pleasant climate. It was a favourite site of the Roman emperors, who frequent...

Here is an arresting description of a well-balanced Christian: "Happy is the man who has no reason to condemn himself for what he allows" (Ro 14:22).If the goal of all life is to achieve happiness, then Paul has revealed one of the key factors in that achievement: happiness is reaching that place of inner poise where you know exactly what is permissible for you so that you live free from the misery of self-condemnation.Now that is a most desirable state, although it is one ...

BECOMING A MOUNTAIN MOVER!The rightness or wrongness of our believing is something we must all face. The Bible warns against the results of wrong believing, and vigorously stresses the importance of right believing. So it is vital for you to learn how to have faith in God, but even more, how to use your faith rightly.The Bible says: "Without faith it is impossible to please God, for those who come to God must believe." Plainly then, if you wish to please God, you must come t...

This is a book about salvation. Not just any salvation. But that GREAT SALVATION . . . which was declared first by the Lord, and then was confirmed to us by those who heard him, while God added his own testimony through signs and wonders, various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit (He 2:3,4).In the language of the New Testament, to be saved means two things: first, to be brought into a place of "safety"; and second, to be brought into a state of "soundness". One who is saved ha...

This book is a presentation of the Pentecostal position on Holy Spirit baptism. Not all those who are connected with the movement will agree with all that is in these pages; but the position taken does generally represent both the Pentecostal and Charismatic viewpoint. It probably hovers somewhere in the middle of the more extreme views taken by some on either side. The Pentecostal position on the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and on the gifts of the Spirit, depends on establishing four thin...

The Pentecostal PulpitOne of the most influential spiritual leaders in England during the early 17th century was a divine by the name of Laurence Chaderton. He is remembered mostly now as a scholar and as one of the translators of the King James Version of the Bible. But in his own time he was most famous for his preaching.For 50 years he preached nearly every Sunday in the same church to enthralled crowds. Such a remarkable career was certainly not foreseen in his childhoo...

Perhaps no myth is so prevalent in the church as the idea that the ministry is a difficult profession, wearying to the soul and exhausting to the body. That is not how Jesus saw it. He called his yoke comfortable, and his burden light! The operative word is no doubt "his". The yoke that is easy is "his". The burden that is light is "his". There is nothing in the work Christ gives a pastor to do that could ravage him or her emotionally, mentally, physically, or spiritually. The things that ...
