Are the deceased still among us? How does one deal with living in haunted houses? What does God's word say about ghost hunting and busting? What does the Bible say about near death experiences? What does the Bible say about reincarnation? All of these questions are scripturally answered in this easy to read booklet.
In order to make the gospel freely available to all, most of the teachings in our booklets are also available in a shorter form on our site or in our articles published elsewhere on the internet, magazines, ezines, newspapers, etc. The booklets, however, offer the advantage of a more in depth study, including a questionnaire to be used for Sunday school or personal evaluation. You will also find case studies and starters for small and large group discussions. The booklets also contain other studies that are related to the general topic to gain a thorough understanding needed to be able to teach others.
The articles/teachings on this site are an example of the in-depth biblical investigation that goes into every booklet we release.

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14)
Just as we hear that not all that glitters is gold, let's remember that not all that appears Christian, is of God. As we see the Bereans did in the book of Acts, let's search the scriptures to verify if what is being taught or manifested is of God (Acts 17:11).
Whenever Vanessa Winters, a student advocate, entered a classroom of senior high students armed with the Booklet, MISSION:Conflict Resolution, both she and the students were in for a very rewarding and fulfilling fifty minutes. The five to seven minute reads stirred emotions and stimulated minds. The shyest student lost his inhibitions in eagerness to express his opinions.
Order was maintained by setting up a mock trial in which everyone had a part, no matter the size of the class. Students learn to reason and think for themselves as well as verbal expression of their ideas.
Since there are no pre-learned lines, everyone expresses, through ad-libbing, just what he feels about a character and his behavior. But they learn to do it with respect and in an orderly fashion. The conflicts the character's involved in, mimick those of the students, so they truly identify, empathize, and defend or prosecute the characters with "real" convictions.
Whether you're a teacher, parent, or counselor, the included Facilitator's Guide will equip you with the skill to evoke the same kind of responses from your group.

Article Excerpts
Note: This writing is directed to those who study any system of the martial arts (Chinese kung-fu/Japanese karate/ Judo etc.), not only to learn to fight but also for health reasons which often leads to the study and practice of Tai Chi Ch'uan (an internal or 'soft' form of Chinese kung-fu).
As a former martial arts practitioner, I have studied tae kwon do, kenpo and the wah lum (northern praying mantis) system of kung-fu. The vast majority of native Westerners (from the Western Hemisphere of the world) is ignorant of the main religions of the countries in which these arts originated. The martial arts were born from tradition, family life and religion, and it should be kept in mind that religion is the most important of these three as it determined tradition and family life. Training in the fighting arts cannot be separated from the religion/s in which they were founded. Christianity and the martial arts.
Sadly, many Americans, including Christians are not in obedience to the the scriptures that command us to be wise as serpents (Mat. 10:16). Be informed about the deception of the new national "ID" card on which you may read here.
Understandably, there is confusion regarding just what blasphemy is and what punishment it carries. There are biblical passages that speak of the blasphemer being put to death, others speak of his forgiveness. There are also the scriptures that speak of the blasphemy of the Holy Ghost which constitutes the unpardonable sin. Its not only imperative to understand how to avoid committing the unforgivable, but also to understand exactly why there is forgiveness for blasphemy against Jesus, but not against the Holy Spirit. Misunderstanding of this truth, sadly, has been used to give credence to the false teaching that Jesus is not God since blasphemy against Him is pardonable.

Mark 6:5-6 says: And he (Jesus) could do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. Mark 10:27 says: With men it is impossible, but not with God, for with God all things are possible. In light of these scriptures, is it logical to conclude that since Jesus could not perform mighty works in his own land, he must not have truly been God or else mighty works would not have been impossible for him.

There shall arise false Christs, and false prophets (followers of false Christs) (Mat. 24:24). For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many (Mat. 24:5).
Note: This is not a contest to find the differences in the two images. They are identical. We do not consider them a representation of Jesus. They are simply used for this activity. We will hear from each Jesus, advice on a particular question and teaching on various subjects. Each will offer guidance for Christian living. Each will tell you that he is the Jesus of the Holy Bible and he will use scripture to support all that he says. Which one will you believe? Click Jesus Or His Impostor? to find out.
In 1917, a huge silver disk spun in the skies over Fatima, Portugal. The bizarre flying object took a plunge toward the earth, then ascended back toward the sun and vanished. The significant fact surrounding this event is that it was observed simultaneously by approximately 50,000 people. One person may be said to be delusional, but, an entire crowd is not.

How many fellow Christians have you personally known who have been executed for their faith?
According to statistics published by Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (2006), approximately 171,000 Christians worldwide are martyred for their faith each year. Therefore, before the alarm awakens you tomorrow morning, over 300 of your eternal brothers and sisters will die for this reason: they have put their faith in Jesus Christ. How should we respond to this?
The obvious answer is that we should pray, pray, pray. Imagine what our Lord might do if His people remembered to pray each day for the persecuted church around the worldnot just on The International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church (Nov. 9, 2008), but on each and every day.
God has made prayer simple, yet powerful. His command regarding it is simple: Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you (Matthew 7:7). Though we are sometimes perplexed at Gods choices of how to answer our prayers, one simple truth is plain: if we pray, God will act in His way and in His time. What will we say when our martyred brothers and sisters approach us in Heaven and ask, Did you pray for me?
Violated innocent blood speaks. God says so. He said to Cain, "What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. (Genesis 4:10). From then until the cries of the tribulation martyrs (Revelation 6:9-10), the voices of the faithful, obedient souls redeemed by God are testimony of the fallen world's injustice and malice toward God, His people, and His ways.
Yes, we should pray. It should be a priority--more like the Great Responsibility, rather than the Great Option.
Beyond that, we should add our voices to protest the martyrdom of our eternal brothers and sisters. We will have to seek the truth regarding their persecution, for it will not come to us through the mainstream media. However, armed with the truth, we can write letters to American legislators and international cabinet members. We can support organizations dedicated to worldwide awareness.
The rising tide of protest is reaching new heights. On March 6-8, 2007, in Amsterdam, over a dozen international Christian organizations met to form the Religious Liberty Partnership, with the expressed purpose of initiating a more solidified voice against Christian persecution and martyrdom globally.
Between personal response and global response, we can also raise awareness and call to action. Form a prayer group in your church. Lead a committee dedicated to the issue. Speak to your local denomination association about ideas to raise the issue to all of your associate churches.
The Voice of the Martyrs ( www.persecution.com ) may be the most well-known organization for shining the light of truth on the issue of Christian martyrdomone of the most under-reported tragedies of modern history. The Voice of the Martyrs website and magazine have consistently kept believers up-to-date on the suffering and persecuted Body of Christ.
Family was the first human institution ordained by God. Of all of the manners in which God could describe His relationship with us, He chose family. He is our Heavenly Father; we are His children.
Yes, we are our brothers and sisters keepers. God watches to see if we do our part in standing up for the Family.
