For a great door and effectual is opened unto me…
By Larry Schoonover, Puyallup, WA  

The apostle Paul in writing to the church at Corinth , communicated his desire to be with them (the church at Corinth ), but was not sure it was in the plan of God.  He expressed his desire to remain at Ephesus until the Feast of Pentecost and that he discerned that God had given him an effectual open door there.

The Harvest Awaits Our Sowing Of Promises
By Pastor Jeff Arnold, Gainesville, FL

Most folks know it is totally impossible to reap a harvest where NO SEED HAS BEEN SOWN.  None, in their right mind, would believe that something would be coming up when there has been nothing THAT WENT DOWN.  “Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground, it abides alone.”  JESUS SAID that to show us a principle:  Without sowing there cannot be any reaping.  We must SOW, if we really expect to REAP.  That truth impacts many areas of our lives, to say the least

The Nautical Hour - by Tony Bailey  $10.00
Before the days of satellite guiding systems, navigation on the open sea took a great deal of skill and understanding. In order to point the ship in the desired heading the Navigator had to know more than where he desired to go, he had to know the ship's present location. Since no landmarks are visible on the open sea, stable points of reference had to be discovered before the Navigator could accurately triangulate the ship's position.  Order online here!

Many people have taught their children separation from the world with statements like, "We don't do that!" or something like, "Our church does not believe in that." never really taking time to teach the principle of a matter to guide their life and decisions later in life when a parent is not there.  Like a newly licensed driver there tendency is to over correct.  Whether the method of instruction was improper or the perception of the student was tainted, there is a great need to Strike a Balance

"Power Encounters" Two Kingdoms In Conflict
  by Jeff Arnold  $10.00 

Weakness versus Power.

Two kingdoms are vying for our souls. One kingdom seeks to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. God’s Kingdom offers grace, mercy, and life.

Condemnation versus Conviction. 
Satan’s kingdom confronts us continuously with temptations, and traps, and snares. God does not force His Kingdom upon anyone.

Error versus Truth.
…and the devil saith unto Him, “All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.” 
Then saith Jesus unto him, “Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.” Matthew 4:9 KJV

The choice is ours to make.
In this book, Rev. Jeff Arnold explores the Power Encounters that can change our lives and bring us out of darkness. The struggle for our souls is intense.

When Men Pray - by Larry Schoonover  $10.00
From time to time as a Christian, I would sit in services or attend conferences where a dear elder would preach to us concerning the sin of prayerlessness. Each time I would resolve in myself that this was the answer. There were no magical methods or new fangled tools for evangelism that the church needed, and none that I personally lacked to lead my family as the head of our home. It became obvious to me that there were no shortcuts to a truly consecrated life and walk with God. There was no getting around it; I would have to learn to pray... Order online here!
