I have written this book for the non-Christian. If you are a person who does not attend church or has had little to no Christian/church upbringing, then this book is for you. I have sought to eliminate any religious language that would be familiar only to Christians. While I quote extensively from the Bible, I deliberately chose not to include the Scripture references so the text does get bogged down with unfamiliar books and locations (example, 2 Chronicles 29:15). All Bible verses are set off in quotation marks.

This is the most important book I have ever written or will ever write. There can be no greater need today than to disciple Christians one-on-one to obey Jesus Christ as Lord. The Great Commission is the fulfillment of the Great Commandment. To love is to obey, and to obey Jesus is to make disciples of all nations. Making disciples one-on-one is very simple, but it will cost you your life. Making disciples one-on-one is very powerful. You get to impart and teach Christians everything the Lord has commanded you. What a great advantage this is for new believers.

Here is what this book is about in a nutshell: Jesus Christ is coming once, not twice, at the end of the age. Jesus Christ is coming visibly, not secretly. The Lord Jesus comes in great glory and great power on the Day of the Lord to rapture His church. This biblical doctrine is clear and unmistakable. I’ve divided this book into four sections: The 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ, The Rapture of the Church, The Day of the Lord, and A Historical Review of End-Time Beliefs. The secret coming of Jesus was first taught in the 1830s by John Nelson Darby and the Plymouth Brethren movement.

The twenty-six biblical qualifications for church elders/bishops found in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1 are a supernatural revelation given to the apostle Paul by the Holy Spirit. It is such a revealing study into Gods holiness and standards. The Lord really loves His church, and He requires that only well-qualified believers be appointed and placed in leadership positions.

In this audiobook, we are going to carefully examine every main verse on “fornication” or “sexual immorality” in the New Testament. The Bible gives a lot of instruction against sexual sin and how to avoid it or repent of it. We start with the Lord Jesus Christ, the one who is the truth. Jesus said that fornication—sex between boyfriend and girlfriend—is evil, and it defiles people. He exposes the root of the sin and shows its damaging effect on anyone who engages in it.

I am amazed at how often God’s people in the Bible had to confront witchcraft. Make no mistake about it—God really hates witchcraft. He detests it because He knows how it will destroy our lives. I want to look closely at the four instances where the early apostles confronted witchcraft in various forms. Also, I will share some personal stories of how I’ve had to deal with witchcraft in my pastoral ministry over the years. I believe these testimonies will reveal key aspects of witchcraft that Christian believers are facing today.

We go to God’s Word and get God’s wisdom on how to deal with this powerful emotion. From the very first pages of the Bible, all the way to its end, we find instruction on anger. It is life’s most powerful emotion.
