Clothed in His Righteousness


Book Description

This is basic to Christianity, you must understand who you are in Christ that and that alone is the foundation upon which you operate. And if all you do is just get in the pulpit or all you do is just try to challenge yourself to live the Christian life whimsically beating yourself sort of into it emotionally you're going to miss it. You've got to understand the foundation principles, this is who I am, this is my position, this is my understanding of it, and Paul is praying for the Ephesians, oh God may they deeply understand who they are, may they get a grip on this incredible reality that they are one with the eternal God through Christ, that all of the blessings of the heavenlies are theirs, that this is the standard of their existence forever and may they live... Therefore, the purpose of this book is to explain the concept of some of the biblical doctrine: The Concept of Sin; The Consequences of Sin; The Christian and the law; The concept of Redemption; The concept of Righteousness; The Concept of sanctification; Who is the Holy Spirit, The concept of grace, The privileges of the Believer and many more. All these concepts are in their simplified form, though not exhaustive so that you may understand the meaning and application of the word of God. My desire is to equip you with the word of truth so that you will stop been tossed to and fro with every kind of doctrine. My position is to declare what the bible says about the topics in question and to provoke you to further studies. In themselves they are not exhaustive, but they will help you to appreciate and appropriate the significance of these theological doctrines in your daily life...




The Gospel Comes With a House Key: A Critical Review


Book Description

The Christian church is facing many opponents to its historical teachings on sexuality in the world and within its own walls. Because of this, many have sought out the help of Christians who testify to having been saved out of the LGBTQ lifestyle. Among those whose counsel is being diligently sought and extolled is Dr. Rosaria Butterfield. Given her former life as a Lesbian, leftist, postmodern academic, Butterfield seems to offer helpful insight into LGBTQ matters, as well as present Christians with helpful advice they can implement in evangelistic encounters and relationships. However, a critical analysis of her book and some of her related writings demonstrates rather clearly that Butterfield's doctrine of hospitality is her deeply rooted postmodern philosophical and feminist-theological beliefs, all of which stand in contradiction to the clear teachings of Scripture. In The Gospel Comes With A House Key: A Critical Review, Hiram R. Diaz III gives a careful, sustained, and detailed analysis of Butterfield's book, and warns Christians that it is neither helpful nor neutral but, in reality, a means whereby pro-LGBTQ "Christianity" can weaken the walls of sound doctrine and pave the way for more radical, "inclusive" theologies of sexuality.
