Rock and Roll Music Moves People
Even a casual observer will have to conclude that music alone, without the assistance of lyrics, does affect mankind. And, that different styles of music affect mankind in different ways. Anthems stir us to pride and duty. They make soldiers serve willingly in the cause of their country. Dixieland sets our hands clapping and our feet tapping. Hymns make us reflective and appeal to the higher senses of God and spirit. What does Rock and Roll do to man? What has Rock and Roll done to man?

Marriage, Divorce and Remarriage — A Biblical Perspective
Our prayer in this series of studies was to know the mind of God or the attitude of God toward marriage, divorce and re-marriage. The focus of our study was to understand what allowance God has made for those who are the “victims” in a situation where their partner has been guilty of sexual immorality or where their partner has abandoned them. Our desire was to first allow the scripture to indicate God’s original intent in the marriage. Second, to understand what allowance God, in his mercy, has granted those whose spouse has not followed God’s original intent relevant to marriage.

Sexual Abuse Survivors
Sexual abuse is probably the most harmful crime that can be committed. The victims often carry deep mental and emotional scars. This study is an effort to help those who have been so terribly abused to find the relief and rest that only a personal and loving God can give.

Proof The Bible is the Word of God
The Bible was written by about 40 different human writers who lived over a period of about 1500 years (50 generations). Many of these writers had no opportunity to collaborate with each other and yet, there are no contradictions in their writings! Like no other book, the writers all agreed on such themes as morality, child rearing, husband and wife relationships, the character of God, the way of salvation and the birth, life, death and resurrection of the Savior of mankind, in minute details.

Bible Study on Acts
An early Greek manuscript simply placed the title (praxeis, doings) Acts on this book. It has been suggested the title “Acts of the Holy Spirit” would be more accurate because of the many references to the person and work of the Holy Spirit in matters of directing the early church.

Important “Keys” to Bible Understanding
When studying the scriptures, there are four important points or “keys” to keep in mind. Neglect of these points has lead to much confusion and false doctrine. Whereas, careful application of these precepts may help open the Holy Scriptures for a clearer understanding of the will of God for our lives.

XMAS, the Diabolical Paradox
Diabolical: of, or pertaining to, the Devil.
Paradox: a self-contradictory statement.
Christmas is purported to be a celebration honoring the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. By simply and honestly examining the history, the scriptures and the actual practices of Christmas, it may be easily seen that it is truly a work of Satan foisted on an unsuspecting and willingly gullible humanity.

Does Easter Glorify Christ?
Easter traces its roots back to the vilest pagan traditions which are specifically condemned by the word of God. Christians should seek to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ in their lives as directed by the Bible and not through pagan traditions.

Seasons Greetings
Sincerely and honestly, at this time and always, we wish you the joy from above that only the Lord Jesus Christ can give — let us tell you why — we wish you then, not a Merry Christmas, but a joyous eternity.

Bible Study on the Good News of the Gospel
There are fundamentally only two religions in the world: the religion of self-effort, and Biblical Christianity. One is way more popular because it is based on what you can do, but the other one is true because it is based on what Jesus Christ already did for you.

Shocking Facts About the Church
This little brochure may have some information about The Church that will be shocking to you. Some of the names have been changed for the benefit of those who might not want to be identified, but the truth will remain just as shocking to many.

Are You a Religious Drunkard?
If there is only “one, true, spiritual church” then, of course, the so-called “visible” churches are not “true” and they are not “spiritual.” Since the Lord Jesus Christ is building only one church, the one concerning which He promised: “Upon this rock I will build my church,” who but a “drunk” could think He is building any one of these man-made, local churches — to say nothing of the 666 varying, competing, sectarian corporations called Christian Churches?

Join the Church of Your Choice or Join the Church of God’s Choice
Is there a Church of God’s choice for his children? We believe God has commanded us to endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. We want to study God’s word with you to prove the body of Christ is functional and the only church the Lord is building. Salvation by God’s grace makes you a member of His church.

Testing the Mormon Gospel
Since we are instructed in the word of God to ”prove all things and hold fast to that which is good“ (1 Thess 5:21), at least three questions should immediately come to mind. How does the gospel ministered by the apostle Paul in the Bible compare with the ”fullness of the everlasting gospel“ contained in Mormonism? Does Joseph Smith pass God’s test for a true prophet? Does the ”account of the former inhabitants of this continent“ in the Book of Mormon find verification in history and archaeology as the Bible does with its record?

Three Open Leters To Herbert W. Armstrong
These letters were written many years ago, and there have been changes in the so-called World Wide Church of God since then, but we are continuing to publish them because they have been referenced in other wide-spread literature and we still receive many requests for them. We know that Satan doesn’t have any new tricks up his sleeves, so these principles can help today, “lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices (2 Corinthians 2:11).”

Calvanism
The three basic tenants of Calvanism: (1) limited atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ (2) total blindness of unsaved, and (3) unconditional election of the saved (and therefore the lost), are answered from a Biblical perspective.
