Disc: $7.00 "Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin. God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it"
In the 1960s, a landmark case brought before the Supreme Court of the United States of America by one Madeline Murray O'Hair forever changed the face of the US of A. In the Supreme Court's decision, it was declared that public schools could no longer engage in teacher- or administration-led prayer to God as it was deemed a violation of the separation of Church and State clause as founding the Constitution of the United States of America. This case was the basis for further cases and decisions which have, to this date in the year 2010, effectively removed from public school the very mention of the name of Jesus Christ. How has this affected the United States since? Has America been bettered because of this decision, or worsened?

Disc: $7.00 The doctrine of our regeneration, or new birth in Christ Jesus, though one of the most fundamental doctrines of Christianity, is so seldom considered, and so little understood by those professing to be born again, that we would be apt to find many who grasp even the rudimentary concepts of their salvation experience.
Men for the most part are orthodox in the common articles of their creed; they believe "There is but one God," and "One Mediator between God and men, even the man Christ Jesus;" and that there is "No other Name given under heaven, whereby they can be saved, besides His": But then tell them, they must be regenerated [born again], and they are ready to cry out as Nicodemus did, "How can these things be?"

Disc: $7.00 ". . . And the disciples were called Christians [a follower of Christ] first in Antioch" (Acts 11:26). A true Christian views Christianity as a way of life, and does his/her best to live a Christ like life. There are no double standards, no hidden agendas, and no secretive sides to them. They give God all the glory for everything in their lives, because what we often view as bad, are lessons to be learned, and we know by faith that good shall ultimately come out of it.
Because true Christians know who they are, they love themselves and therefore can honestly love everyone around them as Jesus Christ said in Matthew Chapter 22, Verse 39, "And the second is like unto it, Thou Shalt Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself."

Disc: $7.00 God is Holy and God is Love. His Holiness demands that our sin be punished infinitely. His Love provides a way for us to be saved from this punishment. How is this possible that Another was willing to suffer what we deserved? Yet, our substitute had to be a sinless man, able to suffer the infinite anger of God against our sin. The only One able to take our place was God's only Son.
The Bible tells us that for three hours He laid on His Son the infinite punishment we deserve for our sin. The darkness was broken when Jesus Christ called out with a loud voice "It is finished." He had accomplished His mighty work, God's Great Plan of Salvation for the World!

Disc: $7.00 If you were to look at the average Christian congregation, how many of the members are actually involved in the church's efforts to gather the harvest of souls? In America, at least, it seems that many are involved in what meets their needs and their children's needs, but shy away from the mission to minister the gospel to the lost. We have an abundance of churches, but few workers.
"Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few [this tells us that the Salvation of souls is a priority with the Lord; in fat, for everyone who doesn't have the privilege to hear, as far as that person is concerned, Jesus died in vain; there are many engaged in the fishing business, but very few who are actually fishing]: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest" (Luke 10:2).

Disc: $7.00 We are about to witness a change in our way of life that will be of magnanimous [earth shaking] proportion. Yet, this change should be neither surprising nor unexpected. We have long boasted how we do not need God in our society, in our schools, in our homes or in our lives. Sadly, the same thing we have so brazenly demanded – change – will turn out to be a snare unto our souls.
If we fail to carefully consider our history and continue to ignore the inherent truths of the Word of God, we too are doomed to repeat our failures and in turn be ill prepared for our future. Sadly, what we have failed to comprehend and embrace as it relates to “times” and “seasons,” we shall soon behold with wide-eyed astonishment.

Print: $7.80 Download: $3.50 "Okay, I’m Saved, Now What, is a “benefit package” to Christians of all ages who are eager to enter into the fullness of their inheritance in Christ Jesus. After the “tingly” feelings wear off, there are questions: “What do I do now?” “Where do I do,” and “Who do I talk to?” Too often, these and many other questions hang over the heads of Christians almost like the proverbial “Sword of Damocles.”

Disc: $7.00 If we are to surrender our lives to the Will of the Lord, then we must first be willing to give ourselves, Mentally, Physically, Emotionally, Socially, Economically, Paternalistically, and finally Spiritually to Christ. There can be no other way!
I am crucified with Christ [as the Foundation of all Victory; Paul, here, takes us back to Rom. 6:3-5]: nevertheless I live [have new life]; yet not I [not by my own strength and ability], but Christ liveth in me [by virtue of me dying with Him on the Cross, and being raised with Him in newness of life]: and the life which I now live in the flesh [my daily walk before God] I live by the faith of the Son of God [the Cross is ever the Object of my Faith], who loved me, and gave himself for me [which is the only way that I could be saved]” (Galatians 2:20).

Disc: $7.00 "Can two walk together, except they be agreed? [Companionship with God can only be enjoyed upon the basis of separation from evil.]" (Amos 3:3).
The Scriptures tell us this, "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death [Salvation by sacraments and personal merit (in other words, any way other than the Cross) is to most men an acceptable way to eternal life, but, in reality, it leads to death. The right way is "Jesus Christ and Him Crucified," and that alone (I Cor. 1:23)" (Proverbs 14:12).
• The Cross opened up the Throne of God to sinful....man, and did so by making man clean through....the shed Blood of the Lamb.....
• The Cross makes possible total victory in every....capacity typified by the Seven Horns.....

Disc: $7.00 With every challenge in life, we have two choices, quit or keep believing. The three Hebrew boys made a choice to believe God for deliverance and not bow to the idiotic demands of the king: a choice that could have cost them their life. Can we do no less when faced with the challenges and decisions of life? "If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up" (Daniel 3:18).
"Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Disc: $7.00 "Change will not come if we wait for some other person or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek" –Barack Obama
This quote from our President is sadly the prevailing thought throughout most of the world. However, the root cause of the problems we are now facing can be traced back to one spewing source, the scarcity of the true gospel being preached from behind pulpits! Yet, the sound of an abundance of rain [revival] is even now sweeping across the land!
"And this gospel of the kingdom (refers to the same type of Gospel preached by Christ and Paul) shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations (not every person, but to all nations; this is close presently to being fulfilled); and then shall the end come (the Second Coming)" (Matthew 24:14).

Print: $8.60 Download: $5.00 GrandMamma’s Prayers is a testimony to the praying power of white haired GrandMamma’s everywhere, the stanchions of faith who literally prayed loved one’s out of trouble and back to the "paths of righteousness." I learned firsthand that GrandMamma believed in prayer. She taught us that if we fail to give thanks [to God] for our daily blessings, (i.e., life, food, friends, health and strength) we could just as easily mistake an "uncomfortable" blessing as a curse. Prayer, as we learned firsthand, was more than mincing words, it was real and life changing!

I learned firsthand that GrandMamma believed in prayer. So much so that one truth stands out in my mind: anytime you fail to give thanks [to God] for your daily blessings, (i.e., life, food, friends, health and strength) you could easily mistake an uncomfortable situation in your life, all intended for your good, as a curse. Prayer, as we learned was more than mincing words it was real and life changing!
