	Lessons from A Mad Prophet — A Seventeen-Week Study of the Book of Ezekiel   Ezekiel is one of the most fascinating books of the Old Testament, its unusual language and imagery having puzzled and inspired Jewish and Christian exegetes alike. This study gives you an overview of the book as well as looking at some of the key individual passages of it. Designed as a Sunday School curriculum for sixteen or seventeen weeks, this can also be used as a small-group study guide or for personal enrichment. It is available in a Study Guide or in a Workbook format.     .: Top :.

	Devotionals
	Faith: Taking God at His Word and Acting Upon It   Arising from the author's personal struggles with faith, this devotional takes a careful look at how both the Old and New Testaments define and describe faith. It also includes an excursus on the differences between Hebrew and Greek thought patterns.     Fear Killer Fear is the one thing that weakens the strongest of human beings, making them unable to do what must be done. But there is one thing that can break fear once and for all and this is found in Isaiah 8:11-18. Learn more about this great liberator through this sermon.     God Is King God is King of the earth. That is a given which most Christians will agree with, but what exactly does it mean, for God to be King? Here is a sermon on the idea that God is King — not like the king of a modern parliamentary monarchy, but like an ancient middle-eastern autocrat. It also takes a look at how such a view of God impacts the lives of His children.     Knowing God How can one get to know God? The answer is surprisingly simple. Take a look at this brief treatise to find out more.   .: Top :.

	Scholarly Papers
	Beating The Systems   The greatest divisive force in Christianity are the various theological systems that exist among her adherents. An examination of the fundamental features of all theological systems that cause these divisions, “Beating the Systems” challenges the reader to hold the Bible as the greatest authority, to take a new view of their personal system and to display a biblical attitude towards those whose systems differ from theirs.     Deliverance Beyond Divine Revelation One of the most controversial parts of the Deliverance Ministries' practices is their questioning of demons to be able to receive information they believe is pertinent to casting them out. This paper takes a look at Deuteronomy 18:10-11 and Isaiah 8:19-20, two of the most clear passages dealing with various forms of procuring special knowledge pertaining to the spiritual world, and compares them to some of the practices of the Deliverance Ministries' primary leaders. Appendices are attached, quoting extended passages from the books written by the people in question.     Imagined Memories of Her This paper takes a careful look at the presuppositions and hermeneutics of renowned feminist theologian Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza and then presents an Evangelical response to her writings.     Regarding the Morality of Music A response to Kurt Woetzel's article "An Important Question for Our Times - Is Music Moral?", this is a careful look at that view as presented in his article. This looks at the topic from Biblical, linguistic, communicative, and anthropological points of view, offering an alternative solution to the dilemma using a communication model and suggesting guidelines for dealing with the situation.     .: Top :.
