Envy. It’s insidious. Pervasive. Corrosive. In the age of materialism and social media, it’s difficult not to feel the creep of this increasing and ever-present temptation. Pastor and teacher Mike Fabarez diagnoses the problem of this pervasive sin. He brings the listener to biblical stories with often-overlooked ties to envy that expose and demonstrate the seriousness and harm caused by our unexamined motives. When envy is allowed to reside unchecked in our hearts, there are internal, relational, and societal costs—Envy explores all of these.

In this writing I will demonstrate that the scriptures emphatically teach a contingent of angels called “Holy Watchers” decided to have offspring with human women and knowingly commit this great abomination of sin toward the Most High. The Sons of God and the Divine Council mentioned in the Bible are these same “Holy Watchers” (a position of angelic authority) mentioned in Enoch and Jasher and in Genesis 6 that not only conceived children with human women but also gave mankind knowledge, technologies, and weapons.

The book is presented like we are part of the army of God. Before any battle is fought, there is a battle plan. God wants us to be part of the plan. He has the blueprints laid out on the table within his tent and is inviting us to come in and take a look at them with him. He is the captain of the army.

Welcome to Sanctioned Chaos in the age of infotech! A completely new level of control in a post-internet, Un-United States. It makes FDR’s New Deal seem amateur. It’s the world’s most sophisticated marketing system complete with engineered speech, and behavior. Unimaginable power that the political puppeteers could only dream of a generation ago. It can fix elections, shut down the economy, and unchecked, it will re-synthesize the American way of life. But it's fascinating, the solutions are as rudimentary as the elements. Or, are we so educated that we no longer need faith?

This book is written especially for parents seeking to fortify their children against the transgender craze currently dominating our culture, but ought to be a helpful tool for any Christian seeking to contend for the biblical worldview in the battle over sexuality.

This book is a conglomeration of miscellaneous poems written for friends and dealing with poem suggestions from those friends. They are also dealing with the crazy situations occurring in our lives in this time of turmoil. Many people believe that this time we are in is mirroring the events of the Bible book of Revelation. The poems concerning those event topics may be a bit biting to those that are not "red-pilled".

Our spiritual enemy is coming after our children, and he doesn’t care who knows it. He wants their minds. He wants their hearts. He wants their beliefs. He wants their lives. Most of all, he wants to stake a claim on their identity. He wants to destroy the foundation of who our children are by letting culture, or even themselves, determine “their truth.” But there is no truth but God’s Word. It is absolute truth that transcends time and cultural advancement.

Picking up where he left off in his electrifying Letter to the American Church, Eric Metaxas renews and deepens his call to believers not to “practice” their faith but to live it—heroically and with joy. Invoking famous but misunderstood words of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, he shows that God’s answer to evil is “religionless Christianity”—the rejection of religiosity and the embrace of a living and active faith, one that consumes the whole person and affects every aspect of his life. The awakening of this faith will bring revival, a “new birth of freedom,” and a renaissance of Christian culture.

For the first time in history, a growing percentage of women have been swept up by the same savage undertow as men, and they are drowning together in this heaving, destructive sea.

He covers a range of topics, including how to approach the use of pronouns in the workplace.

This is how Satan is disguising himself, by using the media for many ways, and everyone is refusing to pay any attention. Later it becomes an addiction, like a drug. This is how Satan gets believers and unbelievers to worship him. This is how believers are falling in the trap and church worship is leaving their life. Are you shutting the church out of your life? In the end, we find out by letting the media idols become an addiction to our life. Most never realized what was going on. Oh, how easily believers are getting blinded.

We are at a crossroads. Opioid and alcohol abuse are leaving a path of destruction in their wake. Pornography is desecrating families. Obesity is skyrocketing and plaguing millions, reaching epidemic levels in children. Heart disease and cancer are—by far—the leading “killers” in America. And on and on it goes, from nicotine to caffeine to food. As a society, we are out of control. But are there answers? Yes, absolutely—if we once again set our sights on God’s truth.

On January 6, 2021, hundreds of Americans stormed the Capitol to prevent the certification of their political opponent’s election. At the forefront were Christians claiming to act in the name of Jesus Christ and his supposed representative on earth, Donald Trump. How can this have happened? David P. Gushee tackles the question in this timely work of Christian political ethics. Gushee calls us to preserve democratic norms, including constitutional government, the rule of law, and equal rights for all, even as many Christians take a reactionary and antidemocratic stance.

Something is terribly wrong in the world—we all feel it. The elite controlling our society commit heinous crimes with no punishment while Christians silently await a rescue rapture. Most in the Church expect increasing cultural demise before we escape. However, through His prophets of old, God already showed us what would happen—we just got the ending wrong. This book presents compelling, yet provocative evidence that Christians fail to discern the times, leading to unfulfilled destinies and needless fear-based paralysis.

Daniel Reinhardt spent 24 years as a police officer near Cleveland, Ohio. He was long unaware of the ways the culture of the police department was shaping him, but gradually, through his own experiences as a police officer and through the mentorship of Black Christians in his life, his eyes were opened to a difficult truth: police brutality against racial minorities was endemic to the culture of the system itself. In Rethinking the Police, Reinhardt lays out a history of policing in the United States, showing how it developed a culture of dehumanization, systemic racism, and brutality.

As the cultural conversation around race, gender, and sexuality has evolved, straight white men are becoming increasingly aware of their privilege. But many may be left thinking, "OK, what am I supposed to do about it?" "We need a way forward beyond feelings of guilt, overwhelmingness, anger, and denial." Straight white male pastor Chris Furr offers a guide to deconstructing that privilege in Straight White Male. With an emphasis on confession and redemption, Furr invites other privileged men to reconsider the ways they live, work, believe, and interact with others.

Fighting, disagreements, hatred, dissension, and silence. These things seem common in the wider Christian community today. Politics, theology, and even personal preference create seemingly insurmountable rifts. It’s hard not to see ourselves as “at war” with each other. We’re not doomed to be stuck here, though. There is a twofold path out of this destructive war, out of seeing our brothers and sisters as enemies―and into a spacious place of loving each other even as we disagree.
