Evidence for Eras
In the book of Revelation, Jesus commanded the apostle John to record seven letters and to deliver them to seven churches. Many believe that these messages picture seven chronological eras of God’s Church, each occurring at a specific time in history. Others categorically dismiss such a claim, asserting that there is no evidence for Church eras in the book of Revelation, or in the entire Bible. What is the truth? Is there evidence for Church eras? The answer may be the single most important truth for us to understand as we enter the end of the age.

A Sabbath Test
Every week thousands of true believers assemble on God’s Sabbath and honor the King of the Universe. This day pictures a time when a world bent on its own destruction will be rescued from itself, and the misery it has created will be replaced with unimaginable peace and prosperity.  But is it possible that many of God’s children have lost sight of the great purpose pictured by the Sabbath? Has this day simply become a time for comfort and convenience? Has it become a day to enjoy personal pleasures disguised as spiritual activities?  Just how serious are you when it comes to this profound commandment? Do you respect God’s word regarding His Sabbath? Or do you see the Sabbath as YOUR day?

The 144,000
From the time the apostle John first recorded his incredible vision in the book of Revelation, a shroud of mystery has surrounded the identity and destiny of a unique assembly described as - the 144,000. Who are these people, and exactly when do they make their appearance on the prophetic scene? What does the Bible mean when it states that they are sealed? Could there be more than one group of 144,000, and are they comprised of only physical Israelites? Why are the tribes of Dan and Ephriam excluded? What do the Scriptures mean when they declare that they are virgins and not defiled by women? What future awaits these individuals, and how does their destiny differ from the rest of mankind? Answering these and many more questions with compelling biblical insights, The 144,000 is a book all God's people should read.

The Ten Commandments - Are They Required Today?
There is a growing movement in our civilization—one that is undermining the future of the United States, and will ultimately affect the entire world. Ominous forces are at work removing the truth of God from our society. One of the most serious and protracted of these attacks has been directed at the Ten Commandments. Ironically the greatest assault has come from the professing Christian community itself. Are God’s Ten Commandments truly no longer required? Was the law only for ancient Israel? Did they exist before being given at Mt. Sinai? Were the Commandments simply a schoolmaster? Are they out of date? How exactly did Christ fulfill the law and the prophets? Did Jesus abolish these laws? Were they nailed to the stake? How is Christ the end of the law? Are we under a curse if we keep them? What is the relationship between law and grace?  Does grace free us from the Commandments? Did Paul teach that they have been done away? What does the New Testament say about the law? 

It Came Without Warning
On September 11, 2001 the United States was violently attacked by fanatical Islamic terrorists bent on inflicting as much carnage on innocent lives as possible. This single act resulted in the greatest loss of civilian life in American history. Was this simply a random act of violence or is it the beginning of a series of events that will cripple the mightiest nation in history. This book examines end time Bible prophecy in the light of this national tragedy. It Came Without Warning explains with remarkable clarity the presence of evil, the absence of deliverance, and the role of Gods people in the last days.
