It was through drive and divine intervention that God gave me the courage to write what he wanted men to know and to remind them that he is still in control.
We live in a time of uncertainty; we are subjected to circumstances and situations which will challenge our very existence.
The church is not a denomination; however, we are the churches. Not the beautiful synagogues or lustrous cathedrals, it's us. We are the church of God in crisis.

This book is about four radical and daring Catholic women – radical and daring because they chose to enter the American maelstrom of race. One, Katharine Drexel, became a saint in 2000. The others, Dorothy Day, Catherine de Hueck Doherty, and Sister Thea Bowman were all declared Servants of God – the title bestowed by the Catholic Church on those on the first rung of official sanctity. Of the four women, three are white, one is black; two were...

Normalmente cuando oímos hablar de gloria siempre pensamos en bendiciones, en riquezas, en carro nuevo, en local más grande, en dinero, en casa nueva, carro nuevo.

Cuando se escribe un libro de este tipo de gloria, rápidamente se convierten en los más vendidos. En este libro lamentablemente no voy a hablar de ese...

En la época actual, Jesús de Nazaret cosecha elogios y aplausos en casi todos los frentes. Atrás quedan los virulentos ataques de otros tiempos en los que hasta de su existencia histórica se llegó a dudar.

For the writing of this book is exciting to me, of us being able to prepare for Jesus' return. And as the Scriptures say, to watch and pray means that Jesus really would like to have us come with Him on His return to the Father's house in heaven.Most do know very little about the function of a church body of believers when it comes to the proper role of an apostle, a prophet, an evangelist, a bishop/pastor, and a teacher. And as how to define the...

A common question when a Christian meets another believer is "where do you go to church?" Often that leads to an understanding of what type of church that is - is it part of an association or denomination, or if independent, what characteristics best define the church (worship style, doctrinal distinctives, etc.). This can be a helpful part of building healthy relationships with other believers - knowing where we have commonalities and where we might...

The holy scriptures are not always easy to read and understand. The Old Testament has many laws that are impossible for us to keep. Consider some of the following laws. Should we apply capital punishment for incorrigible children? (Exodus 21:18-21), for those caught in adultery? And if you will be honest with yourself, this will include a vast number of people today (Leviticus 20:10). What about the false teachers among us (Deuteronomy 13:1-11), should...
