Do you want to really understand the warnings in John’s letters to the Seven Churches in the Book of Revelation? If so, then you must read this book. John’s letters to the seven churches warn all to pay attention to events and to listen to what the Spirit tells them. The admonishment, ‘He that hath an ear pay attention to what’s happening’ was repeated in each of the seven letters. This admonishment was not addressed to the ‘seven’ churches.’ It was addressed seven times to ‘all’ churches; especially today’s churches. At this time, and to those ancient churches; what ...

In chapter 24 of Matthew’s Gospel we are told that when Jesus returns to call His church away, things here on earth will be just like they were during the days of Noah. You ask, “How were things”? Well… people were eating and drinking and going about ‘business as usual’. Crime was high, violence filled the land, and people were greedy. There were wars, famines, pandemics, and earthquakes. Does that seem to resemble today, or what? Is a trumpet about to sound? You decide.

First published in 1987, this book was one of a very small handful that passed on a renewed revelation of how to understand Scripture and LGBTQ inclusion in the Christian church. At that time, almost no mainstream denominations were openly inclusive of LGBTQ people, neither in membership nor in ministry. Very few people were preaching a gospel of inclusion. Things They Never Told You in Sunday School took what had been explained in rather complicated detail by some others and organized the information into a layperson’s, easy to understand journey that walked simply through the Bible ...

This book gives voice to those people. There are strong reasons the Church of the Nazarene should become fully LGBTQ+ affirming. The writers of these essays – whether queer or straight – lay out those reasons, share their experiences, and explain why change is needed. Love rests at the heart of the denomination’s view of God. And yet its statement about human sexuality does not support the ...

I was told it is demonic and not to mess with it. It is Satan worship, they said. There are witches calling themselves mediums who communicate with evil spirits posing as our deceased loved ones. The Bible clearly teaches against Spiritualism I was told. If I get involved, even if I just attend one service at a Spiritualist church, I risk becoming possessed by a demon, my soul will be in jeopardy of being cast into Hell for all eternity when I die, I was warned. Whatever “Spiritualism” they were talking about I haven’t found. The Spiritualism I have come to know is a Godly religion of...
