The Perversion and Subversion of John 3:16 reveals a rancid putrid
cancer in the Christian realm today. The Bible is being rewritten
and reinterpreted in the new versions. Ancient heresies cloaked in
a new garb have found a new venue. A battle for true Biblical
Christianity rages out of sight and mind of the average Christian.
This book documents, without a doubt, the most important Christian
issue in our time. It is time for Bible believing Christians to
return to our true Biblical heritage and take a firm stand with our
traditional conservative Biblical faith.
Title: LIVING IN THE PRESENCE AND PRINCIPLES OF CHRIST As
believers, we have a responsibility to set the example for Kingdom
living here on earth. God created us in His image so that we could
live in harmony with His plan for our life's journey. As you
probably know, His first creation failed the obedience test. Are we
going to make the same mistake? The world would not have an
"identity crisis" if we returned to Christ, our redeemer. It is not
enough to just exist in His presence; we have to live by his
principles also if we desire to enjoy an abundant life. The
essential premise of this book is to enlighten and encourage
believers and non-believers to have confidence in the truth that we
are deeply loved, highly valued, and totally significant to God.
When we recognize whose we are, then we will accept who we are as
children of God. 1 John 4:17 says," Love has been perfected among
us in this: as He is so are we in this world." My desire is to
empower and compel the body of Christ to advance to the next realm
of their Kingdom assignment. First, we have to receive the
revelation that we are loved and highly favored before we can live
effectively in the manifestation of His promises and principles. My
hope is to saturate you with the love of the Lord so that the enemy
will have no place. Our spirit was transformed when we were born
again, but our soul (mind, will, and emotions) constantly need
renewing to keep us from returning to the "old man" again. These
inspirational pages will increase your desire to have a
Spirit-filled encounter with Jesus. You will have an unquenchable
thirst to be made whole in every area of your life-spirit, soul,
and body. Hopefully, you will live the highest level of life
possible as you learn to truly appreciate living in His presence
while being guided by His principles. Dr. Bell has written this
profound book of empowerment to enlighten and encourage you to
recapture the place of prominence that God intended for you. The
idea is for you to regain the greatness that has been overlooked
due to the world's view of who you are. After reading this
inspiring and personal tribute about living each day in God's
loving presence, you will have greater appreciation and a desire to
live by His principles also. In this book you will discover: Why
God Designed you in His Image Your Predestined Life of Victory
Reborn to Reign Blessed by Abundance
The writer believes that the three-fold feature of this book is not
arbitrarily introduced. He began its study with no thought whatever
of reducing the book to any numerical basis. The divisions were, in
every case, the result of careful investigation. He commits this
volume to the reading public in the hope of making the epistle to
the Ephesians as attractive to students as it has seemed
instructive and inspiring to recent auditors
A delightful description of a dedicated God-fearing family as

It's not all fun...and this little girl portrays her experiences

Before the Bible Belt fastened itself across the South, competing
factions of evangelicals fought over their faith's future, and a
contrarian sect, self-named the Primitive Baptists, made its stand.
Joshua Guthman here tells the story of how a band of antimissionary
and antirevivalistic Baptists defended Calvinism, America's oldest
Protestant creed, from what they feared were the unbridled forces
of evangelical greed and power. In their harrowing confessions of
faith and in the quavering uncertainty of their singing, Guthman
finds the emotional catalyst of the Primitives' early
nineteenth-century movement: a searing experience of doubt that
motivated believers rather than paralyzed them. But Primitives' old
orthodoxies proved startlingly flexible. After the Civil War,
African American Primitives elevated a renewed Calvinism coursing
with freedom's energies. Tracing the faith into the twentieth
century, Guthman demonstrates how a Primitive Baptist spirit,
unmoored from its original theological underpinnings, seeped into
the music of renowned southern artists such as Roscoe Holcomb and
Ralph Stanley, whose ""high lonesome sound"" appealed to popular
audiences searching for meaning in the drift of postwar American
life. In an account that weaves together religious, emotional, and
musical histories, Strangers Below demonstrates the unlikely but
enduring influence of Primitive Baptists on American religious and
cultural life.
God's Word says, "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a
workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word
of truth" (II Timothy 2:15). Rightly dividing or being able to
understand God's Word will require study. This book is designed to
assist you in studying God's Word. Fifty-two major doctrines of the
Bible are outlined in four separate books. Each chapter examines a
different Bible doctrine. The chapters are written in such a way to
help you thoroughly understand the doctrines--without needing a
seminary degree. If you want to be an approved workman unto God,
this book will help you accomplish that goal The thirteen chapters
of Book Three covers: Hell, Trinity, God the Father, God the Son
(2), God the Holy Spirit (2), The Gift of Tongues, Bible
Memorization, Sanctification, Angels (2), and The Second Coming of
Christ.

for claiming the promises of God. Learn who you are in Christ
Jesus, the "Seed" to whom the promise was made.

word.

prayer. Promises of God is your faith. It gives you substance to
stand upon, fully knowing that what God promised He will
perform.

greedy wish we request. But, He is a rewarder of those who
diligently seek Him in prayer. Be prepared to energize your prayer
life like never before. Start receiving from God today.
This is an excellent set for the preacher who aspires to be true to
the Word and who wishes to enrich his preaching ministry. It is an
invaluable aid for the teacher who seeks to guide his class to a
deeper knowledge and appreciation of God's Revelation to us. It is
an ideal set for any student of the Bible who desires to hear what
God has to say to him. This is more than a commentary. It is
rightly called an interpretation.
EVER since I wrote By the Still Waters, while a country pastor, I
have longed to write more in the same vein. Friends who say they
were blessed by those rustic sketches have encouraged me to write a
companion volume, but a city pastorate of five years and many
preaching journeys over the land have not provided a suitable
setting for rural reflections. One cannot write of these things in
a hotel room. It has become possible through circumstances,
evidently the Lord's leading, to spend a few autumn weeks in the
old home in the hills. No sooner had this opportunity opened before
me than I felt impressed to return to my first love and resume the
trail of reflections I left in the Carolina lowlands. Then it was
the low country, and now it is the hills, but both are Carolina and
both are "countrified" and I trust the theme in both cases is
common to hearts everywhere. A few of these sketches were published
with some changes in the Charlotte (N. C.) Observer, and grateful
acknowledgement is hereby made for permission to reprint them. But
all of them are FOREWORD A skin, and in these simple matters that
abide time makes little difference. They are sent forth to the
glory of our Lord Who spoke the colorful language of the outdoors
and Who bade His disciples of old, "Come ye yourselves apart and
rest awhile." V. H. Greensboro, N. C.
At the time of its publication this set was acclaimed to constitute
"the greatest commentary on the English Bible ever published"
(Baptist and Reflector). It remains to this day a reliable guide to
a thorough understanding of the Scriptures. This is an excellent
set for the preacher who aspires to be true to the Word and who
wishes to enrich his preaching ministry. It is an invaluable aid
for the teacher who seeks to guide his class to a deeper knowledge
and appreciation of God's Revelation to us. It is an ideal set for
any student of the Bible who desires to hear what God has to say to
him. This is more than a commentary. It is rightly called an
interpretation.
