Stop waiting for the water to move. Start walking in your command. For 38 years, a man sat by the Pool of Bethesda, paralyzed by tradition and trapped in a cycle of "waiting." In this volume of the Master Guide Series, Rev. Dr. Chantell Beaty Bello forensically deconstructs John 5:8 to reveal the mechanics of the sovereign "I AM" factor. Utilizing the Unified Synthesis method, this guide provides two distinct tracks for the seeker: The Church Ministry Track: A foundational, faith-based approach to the Word.

Stop settling for a "surface-level" faith that crumbles under pressure. It’s time to go deep without drowning. There is a persistent and damaging myth in the church today: We are often told that we have to choose between a "smart" faith and a "passionate" faith. The assumption is that you can either be a theology nerd who treats God like a complex math problem to be solved, or you can be a spiritual seeker who loves God intensely but couldn't explain why to a neighbor. One side has a big head and a small heart; the other has a big heart and a confused head. This book destroys that myth. ...

Religious experiences are usually private though occasionally they are intersubjective, involving multiple individuals at the same time. These group experiences carry extra evidential weight. But what of mass religious experiences, in which hundreds or even thousands of people apparently experience the same supernatural occurrence at the same time? Such events are rare historically, but of great interest in evidential terms, since they are more difficult to explain scientifically.

The ages to come are revealed in the writings of the prophets. Bible students study with earnest expectation to comprehend God’s coming wonders.

Prophets Rule provides commentary on the nine Minor Prophets whose ministries took place prior to Judah’s Babylonian captivity. Although these prophets wrote around 700-500 BC, major parts of their conversation concern future events ...

The education system is broken. People are quick to agree with that statement. They might even have their own opinions on why it's true.

We wring our hands, point fingers, and never get around to fixing the system. Angie Taylor has spent more than 30 years in education and knew firsthand what wasn't working. She watched as kids with potential were lost in the system.

Trusted by Classical Conversations for thousands of CC Challenge students. Paul requires Christian fathers to provide their children with a "paideia of the Lord." To the ancient world, the boundaries of paideia were much wider than the boundaries of what we understand as education. Far more is involved in paideia than taking the kids to church, having an occasional time of devotions in the home, or even providing the kids with a Christian curriculum.

Who are the Jehovah's Witnesses? Many of us have seen or been visited by folks calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses. Most of us have slammed the door in the faces of these hard working young men and women as they try to share their gospel with us. I, however, use to delight in conversation with such folks as these, not to be argumentative but to try and understand their doctrine.

Christianity believes every religion, faith and religious organization — aside from Christianity - is a cult. In actuality, by its very definition, every religion is a cult, including the religion — the cult - of Christianity.
