… as a Berean
“And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.”
Ecclesiastes 12:12-14
Seduction of Christianity
Spiritual Discernment in the Last Days
Dave Hunt
“The Bible clearly states that a great Apostasy must occur before Christ’s second coming. Today, Christians are being deceived by a worldview more subtle and seductive than any before. What are the dangers in the growing acceptance and practice of:
- Positive and possibility thinking
- Healing of memories
- Self-help philosophies
- Holistic medicine
The seduction of Christianity will not appear as a frontal assault or oppression of our religious beliefs. Instead, it will come as the latest fashionable philosophies offering to make us happier, healthier, better educated, and even more spiritual. A compelling look at the times in which we live and a clear call to every believer to choose between the original and the counterfeit.”
Vengeance Is Ours
THE CHURCH IN DOMINION
Albert James Dager – 283 Pages
A new militancy is stirring in the breasts of Christians in response to the evils that beset society. Tens of thousands attend spiritual warfare seminars hoping to learn how to “take back from Satan what he has stolen.” A call for vengeance on God’s enemies and a restructuring of society under God’s Law is being heard in ever-widening circles.
But is it the Christian’s responsibility to take control of society and to reconstruct it in accordance with God’s Law?
Vengeance Is Ours presents some startling revelations in this analysis of various forms of dominion theology from Manifested Sons of God to Christian Reconstructionism. Media Spotlight
Letter to my children concerning
GOD AND COUNTRY
From A Christian Perspective;
by Carl Mease
“This 45 page booklet (5.5×8.5 stapled) is a result of a parent’s discipling his teenage sons, and the resulting prayer guided research into the New Testament position on non-resistance. Due to requests from other teens, the letter was put into booklet form. Because the content also addresses civil diobedience, patriotism, just war, and terrorism; the booklet form of the letter took on the God and Country title. There are much longer works presenting this biblical position, yet this book is unique, in that while being brief, the New Testament position is sufficiently presented. Whether a traditionalist, orthodox, liberal, evangelical, fundamentalist, or skeptic, you will find this work to be challenging, insightful, and maybe even life changing.”
Carl Mease’s booklet is an important contribution to our discussion. Carl and I may not agree on everything, but I truly appreciate his heart and intent.

The Hydra of Carnage:
Bush’s Imperial War-making
and The Rule of Law
An Analysis of the Objectives and Delusions of Empire
By Craig B. Hulet
“Craig B. Hulet was Special Assistant to Congressman Jack Metcalf (R, WA) for Special Projects and periodically a consultant (Domestic Militia Movement) to The United States Treasury Department’s Bureau of Alcohol tobacco and Firearms (ATF). He served in Vietnam with the 101st Airborne as a weapons expert (MOS 45J20). Mr. Hulet has appeared on the Arsenio Hall Show, CNN, and has over 10,000 hours of media interviews over the past twenty years. He presently is Government Policy Analyst, KC & Associates (business/political consultants) in Washington State.”
Craig Hulet has some very important things to say about the nature of this world system. He exposes both the political right wing as well as the progressive left. I do not agree with his Nietchean philosophy and I do not believe he professes to follow Jesus in the same sense that we Evangelicals believe. But his analysis of the political and economic power structure should be considered. Mr. Hulet also has harsh criticism for American Evangelicals that we need to hear. My conclusions are not the same as his and what I consider solutions and our ultimate hope is not the same as he would advocate. But Craig Hulet should be part of our discussion.
SIX ROMAN CATHOLIC DOCTRINES THAT NULLIFY SALVATION BY GRACE

“Citing the Roman Catholic St. Joseph’s Edition of the New American Bible, this study proves the truth of salvation by grace. It then proves that the Roman Catholic Church nullifies salvation by grace in spite of its words to the contrary. According to Roman Catholicism, salvation comes by God’s grace, but the only way to receive that grace is through partaking of the Roman Catholic sacraments dispensed through the priesthood. An important aid for non-Catholic Christians in understanding the true nature of Roman Catholic “grace,” this study arms believers with the knowledge to witness to their Roman Catholic friends and family.”

An Investigation into
the Murder of Pope John Paul I
“On September 28, 1978, thirty-three days after his election, Pope John Paul I, “the Smiling Pope,” was delcared dead. No official death certificate has ever been issued. No autopsy ever performed. His body was hastily embalmed. Cause of death: Unknown. And Vatican business continues.”
Author: A journalist, David Yallop
The author does not profess to be a Biblical Christian.
“His book has two strengths. It brings up to date and tells well the story of how the Vatican has conducted its finacial affairs. The portayal of hitherto little-known John Paul I is also excellently done… an engrossing and disturbing book. It reflects no credit on the Vatican that its spokesmen affect to view the charges with contempt and ignore the questions raised” – The Economist
“Denounced by the Vatican… Acclaimed around the world… Vindicated by new evidence… Winner of the 1985 Crime writers’ Gold Dagger Award for best non-fiction… “

“It ought to be obvious to even the casual observer of history that the real story of the church is not the one recorded in secular history. [This book] demonstrates that the true heart of this amazing drama is not even recorded in church history books.”
“Who were the Waldensians? The Lollards? The Stundists? The Anabaptists? These names were given by their enemies to those who claimed only the name of Christ, and who were prepared to suffer for His cause rather than submit to those man-made traditions that they believed contradicted the word of God.”

Showtime for the Sheep? The Church and the Passion of the Christ
“Is Mel Gibson’s blockbuster movie biblically true? Have silver-screen portrayals of biblical epics become the new “silver bullet” of evangelism? While Showtime for the Sheep? addresses these questions with eye-opening insights, it is far more than a polemic examining The Passion of the Christ. This block-busting little book addresses several key trends that are storming the church in this media-mesmerized millennium:
“The increasing use of entertainment and amusement to teach the Word of God – and expanding efforts to make the Gospel message more “seeker-sensitive”
“The advancing cause of ecumenism over evangelism – and the resultant confusion between Catholicism and biblical Christianity
“The muliplying effect of doctrinal error through increasingly popular paraphrased “Bibles” – and the proliferation of visual interpretations of Scripture.”
