The Church SecretsXulon Press, 2004 - 208 pàgines *Why all the competing Christian Denominations? *Where's the unity in the Body of Christ? *Why are there so many opinions on Scripture? *Why do the Catholics do that? *Why do the Protestants do that? The "Church" Secrets answers these nagging questions and many more by examining "Church" traditions compared to God's Word. The root of the confusion begins with the word "Church" itself. The prideful secrets of men are exposed to identify the gradual drift Christianity has taken away from God's Word. This book offers an interactive, in-depth study of God's Word that is geared toward both the young and old in Christ. Traditions run deep and are powerful. Questioning one's traditions can expose one's pride; humility, however, is found in Christ dying on the Cross for us. With that realized, our own pride should mean nothing. If you desire a deeper understanding of God's plans for His Body, and want to live by His Spirit in truth, this is the book for you. |
