Description:

The following notes were first compiled while I was pastor of the First Evangelical Free
Church at Minneapolis, Minn.
I was invited by Dr. Robert L. Moyer, then Dean of Northwestern Bible School, to teach
Biblical Hermeneutics at their evening school. At first, I hesitated because I had not had any full
course on the subject. But Dr. Moyer insisted that I should come. He said that he would have his
secretary come to his class, take down his complete lecture, and have it typed for me. I could
then use them as a basis for my notes and teaching. With this kind offer, I could not very well
refuse. So during the years 1932-33, I taught Biblical Hermeneutics at the school founded by Dr.
Wm. B. Riley.
I have always counted it as one of the greatest blessings in my early ministerial years, to
have known and worked with this excellent Bible student, expositor, and kind friend.
During the years my original notes have been revised and enlarged to their present form.
Besides Northwestern Bible School, I have also taught this subject at The Evangelical Free
Church Bible Institute at Chicago, Illinois; Milwaukee Bible Institute at Milwaukee, Wisconsin;
and now most recently to my Thursday night Bible Class held at The Southwest YWCA at Hales
Corners, Wisconsin.
Besides Dr. Moyer, I am also indebted to such Bible scholars as Dr. Arthur T. Pierson,
Dr. Ethelbert W. Bullinger, and Dr. W. Graham Scroggie for helpful hints on this important
subject.
If you receive the same help in understanding the Sacred Scriptures from these notes as I
have, all the time and effort put forth in compiling them will have been well repaid.

Description:

Dr. Michael Brown's Authentic Fire puts the brakes on John MacArthur's crusade against charismatics with irrefutable logic, extraordinary insight, Christ-like graciousness, and an undisputable handling of Scripture. This is the definitive book to give to anyone who asks, "Is MacArthur's denunciation of charismatic Christians fair and accurate?"  Frank Viola,
Dr. Brown speaks on behalf of millions who are not adequately trained to express in writing their own encounters with the supernatural power of God. With the skill of a surgeon, Dr. Brown takes the sword of the Spirit to the crippling cancer of cessationist doctrine that has, for so long, paralyzed the Body of Christ from walking in the fullness of the Holy Spirit's anointing.   David Ravenhill, author, How to Survive the Anointing
Michael Brown demolishes the weak arguments outlined in John MacArthur's Strange Fire book and conference. He does so robustly but without resorting to divisive or schismatic language. Dr. Adrian Warnock, author, Raised with Christ: How the Resurrection Changes Everything

Description:

In the early 1900's a famous baseball player was accused of cheating. Unfortunately, the
accusation proved to be true. A young fan met the baseball player and said, "Say it ain't
so!"
I have often felt that way while doing research about the Roman Catholic Church.
Sometimes it has caused me so much distress that it has adversely affected my health.
However, the truth is precious, even when it is painful. Our God is Truth incarnate. (John
14:6; Romans 3:4) And He promised that the truth would set us free. (John 8:32)
Please read the poems at the end of this book. They will help you see these issues from
the long-term perspective of God’s love and faithfulness.
May the Lord bless you, protect you, guard you, and guide you. And may He reveal
Himself to you in a new way.

Author: Mary Ann Collins
Title: Catholic Concerns: Where Does The Road To Rome Lead?
Publisher / Editor: Mary Ann Collins
Format: PDF
Size Of File: 468 KB
Pages: 184.

Description:

Official documents from the Second Vatican Council show that Rome wants to bring all Christians back into the Catholic Church. The goal of ecumenism is to reverse the Protestant Reformation. In today's ecumenical world, Evangelicals need to understand what Catholicism is and how easily it mixes with non-Christian religions. That's why Catholic Concerns was written. Evangelical pastors are promoting Catholic mysticism and contemplative prayer. But where does it lead? At the end of this road, we find Catholic monks who want to be good Buddhists, and Catholic priests who act like gurus, wear orange robes, call Hindu temples a "sacrament" and consider non-Christians to be their brothers and sisters in Christ. Catholic Concerns reveals what is hiding behind Rome's modern, ecumenical image. It presents complex subjects in a clear, straightforward manner that is easy to understand. It confronts troubling issues with compassion and objectivity. Come explore the world of Catholicism, where grace can be "merited" and Mary has a "saving office" (The Catholic Church teaches that Mary's intercession brings salvation).

Description:

In Stop Counseling! Start Ministering! Martin and Deidre Bobgan tell why Christians should literally Stop Counseling! and Start Ministering! They choose the word counseling because it is generic enough to cover both psychological (psychotherapy) and biblical counseling where the problems discussed at length are those personal and interpersonal problems of living that are normally taken to one who is designated as a psychological or biblical counselor. The commonality for both psychological and biblical counseling is that both are sinfully problem-centered! In contrast, personal ministry is helping individuals in need overcome their fixation on their problems and become Christ-centered on a daily basis. This book provides ways of equipping those in need with the truths of Scripture and encouraging them to live the daily life that will be honoring to the Lord and beneficial for meeting problems of living without sinfully talking about them.

Publisher / Editor: David C Cook
Format: EPUB
Size Of File: 258 KB
Pages: 275.

Description:

The role of the Holy Spirit in a Christian's life is often misunderstood. Some believers focus solely on spiritual gifts, some emphasize the practical over the spiritual, and others avoid the subject altogether. Yet in spite of the apparent confusion, the truth is surprisingly simple: God's Spirit is a vital part of our relationship with Him.

The Silent Shepherd offers a balanced, scripturally sound look at the personality, works, and deity of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from over 40 years in ministry, pastor and author John MacArthur, Jr. clears away misconceptions, offers fresh insights, and shares how God's Spirit can guide, lead, and empower every believer. This revised and updated edition includes a guide for both personal and group study and features discovery questions, suggestions for prayer, and activities, all designed to connect life-changing truths with everyday living.

Title: An Evaluation Of Theophostic Prayer Ministry
Publisher / Editor: CRI Publications
Format: PDF
Size Of File: 539 KB
Pages: 31.

Description:

After an exhaustive evaluation, CRI detects nothing unbiblical about the core theory and practice of
Theophostic Prayer Ministry (TPM). The theory is elegant in its profound simplicity, and the anecdotal
reports of its effectiveness in practice justify further investigation; nonetheless, much more scientific
research needs to be done before even the more modest claims of TPM can be validated, and some of the
extravagant claims seem unlikely ever to be established.
CRI does have several peripheral concerns about TPM, but we have been favorably impressed by founder
Ed Smith’s openness to constructive criticism and change. We caution Christians who practice or receive
TPM to be discerning about Smith’s past teachings on the sin nature, sanctification, and satanic ritual
abuse, and to be aware that, despite major improvements, there are still aspects of Smith’s teaching on
spiritual warfare that CRI does not endorse.

Title: Counseling The Depressed Person
Publisher / Editor: 
Format: PDF
Size Of File: 672 KB
Pages: 90.

Description:

While there is an abundance of existing literature written on the subject of counseling depressed people from both secular psychological and religious perspectives, the views and methods of the Puritans on the subject are largely unknown, untapped and unapplied among contemporary Christians. Even though depressed moods and traits have been in existence since the fall of mankind, many secular psychologists and Christian counselors still do not rightly understand its origins, causes and cures and are too quick to medicate the problem or resort to self-help methods. But the ancient Biblical principles documented and applied by the Puritans for the diagnosis and cure of depression have proven to be what sufferers really need and desire. Therefore, the general intent is to put the topic of counseling of the depressed to the test by examining the historical writings and counsel of
Puritan writers against that of their current counterparts, namely the secular psychological methods, and how these modern methods fall short in dealing with a syndrome of depression.In particular, the Puritan foundational theories of diagnosing a pattern of depression and the theological themes they used for cures of such situations are examined and thoroughly documented. Finally, these methods of the Puritans are considered for the current culture and how the diagnosis, causes, cures and prognosis can all be rightly and widely applied to those who are chronically depressed in the contemporary church.

Description:

The Bible clearly states that a great apostasy must occur before Christ's Second Coming. Christians today are being deceived by a worldview that is more subtle and seductive than any before. We will look at some of the dangers in the growing acceptance and practice of:

Positive and possibility thinking
Healing of memories
Self-help philosophies
Holistic medicine

This seduction of Christianity will not appear as a frontal assault or oppression of our religious beliefs. Instead, it will come as the latest fashionable philosophies that will promise to make us happier, healthier, better educated, and even more spiritual. A compelling look at the times in which we live and a clear call to every believer to choose between the original and the counterfeit. Only then can we hope to escape the seduction of Christianity.

Dangers of the Ecumenical movement

Many Christians are joining the ecumenical movement, thinking God has ordained it to bring all Christians into unity. But this book reveals that the ecumenical movement is nothing more than a smokescreen, hiding the Vatican's real intent, to stamp out religious freedom and rule the world.

Our fight is not with the Roman Catholic people who have been betrayed by their church. Our job is to rip the mask off her face, and let the poor Roman Catholics see what they're really tied to. They have to find Christ as the answer and it's our job to try to win them to Christ.

Pages: 15.

Description:

This booklet examines the veracity of Bible teaching based on literal interpretation and spoof-texting.

Spoof-texting is a teaching method that employs a word-search-approach to present lots of scriptures without time for thought. It is concluded that man-centric literal interpretation, including spoof-texting, leads directly to the different literal system discussed herein.

This literal system is dispensationalism and is in wide spread use today.

MacArthur asks for Biblical proof that the Old Testament Israel is the church and Dr. Gary Harloff respectfully responds with ample Scriptural evidence to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Israel is the Church and the Church is Israel. Dr. Harloff also provides a chart a the end comparing dispensationalism to covenant theology.

Pages: 75.

Description:

John Piper (b. 1946) has a rapidly-growing influence among fundamentalists in general and Independent

Baptists in particular.

A 2005 survey of roughly 1, 100 “ young fundamentalists,” found that John Piper has a significant influence.Almost 50% agreed with the statement, “John Piper’s ministry has been a help to me.”

The survey largely represented graduates of Bob Jones University (29% of those surveyed), Maranatha Baptist Bible College (22%), and Northland Baptist Bible College (21%). (For more on this see the report “A Survey of Young Fundamentalists” at the Way of Life web site.)

Kevin Bauder of Central Baptist Seminary has used his blog to praise “conservative evangelicals” such as Piper.

John Piper is the senior pastor at Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota, which is so wishywashy that the board of elders proposed in 2002 that the constitution be amended to allow a candidate to reject believer’s baptism by immersion if he “sincerely and humbly believes that it would be contrary to Scripture and conscience--and not just contrary to family tradition or desires--to be baptized by immersion and thus to count his infant baptism or his adult sprinkling as improper or invalid.” The proposal did not pass, but the fact remains that Piper and the elders were willing to entertain infant baptism in some instances, which is a heretical position for a so-called Baptist church to take.The Greek word “baptizo” means immersion and baptism is called a burial in Scripture (Rom. 6:3-4; Col. 2:12).Immersion is not just a mode of baptism; it is baptism; and there is not one example in Scripture of an infant being baptized.To the contrary, the requirement for baptism is faith in Christ and an infant is clearly incapable of that (Mk. 16:16; Acts 8:36-39; 16:30-33).Though many sincerely believe that their infant baptism or adult sprinkling is a genuine baptism, they are sincerely misled and should in no wise be encouraged in their error by Baptist preachers.

Because of John Piper’s rapidly growing influence in fundamentalist circles, I have studied two of his major

books to understand his teaching, an old one and a new one: Desiring God: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist (2011 edition) and Don’t Waste Your Life (2009 edition).I have also spent time reading his blog.

My conclusion is that Piper’s teaching is a web of truth and error. It appears to me that he is a very sincere man who is the product of corrupt contemporary evangelicalism (Fuller Theological Seminary) and major

personalities within this movement (e.g., Harold Ockenga, Francis Schaeffer, C.S. Lewis, and Daniel

Fuller).

Piper’s writings contain many golden nuggets, but there is death in the pot and I could not quote him in my

writings in good conscience, just as I cannot quote C.S. Lewis.

Piper has a commendable passion for world evangelism.He doesn’t beat around the bush about some very

fundamental truths, such as the lostness of man, the narrowness of the Gospel, the blood atonement, and the

reality of hell.

But as we will see, even his gospel is terribly confused by his hyper-Calvinistic “you must be born again before you believe” heresy.
