Lust, Violence, Religion

Is Your Religion Robbing You?


Book Description

IS YOUR RELIGION ROBBING YOU? St. John clearly gave illumination to the deception of darkness when he wrote concerning Jesus: In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the Light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not comprehend it (John 1: 4-5). Yet even today many who love God and believe in Jesus are not able to comprehend the Light and thus are deprived of the life He offers. Where there is no Light of the Gospel there is no real life with Jesus. This is the result of being cheated and robbed by that spiritual being who rules the darkness in this world, and is the imposter of God in the counterfeit spirit of religion. This book offers freedom to all whose hearts desire is to comprehend and experience the Light of the World in all His fullness and glory! Thomas C. Reinecke and his wife Phyllis are ordained ministers with Christian International Apostolic Network, under Dr. Bill Hamon. Together, in 1986 they founded Faith, Hope & Love, Inc., a ministry that undergirded their work as missionaries to ten overseas nations as well as pastoral work in the State of Florida. They published their first book, To Know, Love & Serve God in 1994. In recent years they founded a prophetic training school called The School of The Holy Spirit, as well as Sapphire Family Church, an apostolic/prophetic church both located in Baltimore, Maryland and under the pastoral leadership of their son Tim and wife Brenda. Their oldest son Tom Jr. and wife Nancy have served the Lord in missionary work in Africa and Southeast Asia for nearly 25 years. Tom & Phyllis three daughters and families are all saved and love the Lord Jesus.










Seventh-day Adventist Christian: Do You Know Who You Are?


Book Description

Do you know who you are? “Of course I know who I am! I am Professor John Smith of Someplace, USA, born to Bob and Patty Smith.” But I’m not talking about your name, your profession, where you live, or who your parents are. Let me reword the question. Do you know who you are in terms of your religious beliefs and relationship with God? “Of course I know who I am! I am a Seventh-day Adventist.” OK, but what does that mean? Dr. Max Hammonds proposes that it goes beyond simply saying that we obey ALL of the Ten Commandments and that Jesus is coming back to take His followers home to heaven. Presented in this book is a carefully reasoned and biblically sound exploration of familiar topics that we always thought we understood. With warm personal stories told in the style of a private conversation at a quiet retreat, Dr. Hammonds works through the basic fundamentals of what it means to be a Christian and a Seventh-day Adventist in the real world, living for God during the Time of the End. This is not just another book about Adventist doctrines. This book gets at the heart of Christianity while focusing on the special calling we have as Adventists.
