Download or read book 10 Keys to Witnessing to Cults written by Rose Publishing and published by Rose Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2008-02 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cults are based on a simple theological fallacy—that God is not what the Bible says that He is. Once simple scriptural observations are made, we can be sure that there is a God, and that He is everything that He claims to be in His Word. Having a dialogue with someone who believes differently about God can be difficult, but this pamphlet helps in many ways. Clearly explaining how cultists think, giving biblical responses to their arguments, providing information about additional resources, and offering questions that cultists must answer for themselves, authors Ron Rhodes and Christy (Harvey) Darlington provide a simple resource to assist Christians in their conversations with those involved in cults.

Download or read book 24 Ways to Explain the Gospel Laminated Pamphlet written by William Brent Ashby and published by Rose Publishing. This book was released on 2009-10 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 24 Ways to Explain the Gospel contains dozens of word pictures and illustrations that will help you communicate the gospel in ways everyone can understand. "Why do I need to be saved?" "From what?" These are common questions in today's society. Salvation can be a difficult concept to explain to a postmodern thinker. Fortunately, God's Word provides many ways of looking at our situation, and at God's solution. 14 panels, fits inside most Bibles, 8.5 x 5.5 inches, unfolds to 38 inches long. The Bible is full of illustrations that use common experiences, such as gardening, having debt, a campfire, or joining a family, to explain what Jesus accomplished on the cross. In 24 Ways to Explain the Gospel, you will see 24 metaphors from the Bible, positive and negative examples, and several illustrations that show how the positive/negative examples can be explained. (A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase compares or describes something. For example: "A mighty fortress is our God"--"mighty fortress" is a metaphor to help to describe God.) Below is an example from 24 Ways to Explain the Gospel Metaphor: Light--Jesus is the light that shines on our path toward God (John 12:46) Positive examples: Light--Jesus is the light of the world (John 8:12) Jesus' light shines in our heart (2 Cor. 4:4-6) Children of the light (Eph. 5:8) Jesus has rescued us from darkness (Col. 1:13) Putting aside the deeds of darkness (Romans 13:12) Negative examples: Dark--People living in darkness have seen a great light (Matt. 4:16) People loved darkness (John 3:19) Illustrations--A campfire in the wilderness provides light, warmth, safety and sustenance. The light helps campers to find their way back to camp. It provides warmth for the night. It keeps the animals away. It cooks food and purifies water. In a similar way, Jesus provides us with a guiding light, warmth, safety, and sustenance for our journey of life.

Download or read book Christmas Story in Prophecy written by Rose Publishing and published by Rose Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2013-12-06 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Christmas Story: Scripture from the Gospels and the Prophets Here is the story of Jesus' birth and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies in a beautiful ebook that can be used as a handout at Christmas and as a Bible study to use during Advent. Using traditional wording from Matthew and Luke's Gospels, and beautiful full-color art, this ebook starts with the angelic announcement of John the Baptist's birth and the angel Gabriel's visit to Mary. It continues with Mary and Joseph traveling to Nazareth, the birth of Jesus, and the visitation of the shepherds and the Wise Men. It ends with the Gospel story and a forward look toward Christ's second coming. This beautiful ebook will be treasured. Contains suggestions for Advent celebrations and traditional suggested readings; also includes suggestions for using the ebook as a Christmas program script. Ideas for Use Questions for Discussion or Journaling: •Read "The Advent of Hope" (panels 1-4). In the New Testament, John the Baptist fulfills the role of Elijah (also known as Elias in some Bible versions). What did the ancient biblical prophecies say he would do and why? •How did Jesus fulfill Psalm 89:3-4? What is the connection between Jesus and King David? •How did Mary respond to the angel's message? How did Joseph respond? How does the Lord deal with our own confusion in life? •Read "The Advent of Peace" (panels 5-6). In those days, the most powerful man in the world was Caesar Augustus. Look at the Old Testament prophecies. How is Jesus similar and different from Caesar? You may want to compare their status in society, their wealth and power, and their effect on future societies. Both would bring a kind of peace to the world. How would you describe the differences? •Read "The Advent of Joy" (panels 8-9). King Herod of Judea was one of the most ruthless rulers of the time. As a baby, Jesus had powerful enemies and his life was in danger. How did God protect him? Many people expected Jesus to be the Messiah for the Jewish people only, but God's plan was to bless the entire world. How do we see hints in these Scriptures. •Read "The Advent of Love" (panels 10-11). The Christmas story is more than the story of a tiny baby. Jesus was sent to earth to "seek and save" us. How was Jesus similar to us? How is he different? •Read Isaiah 53:5-6. What was the greater purpose for Jesus' life? How did he redeem us? Why is Jesus good news for all people? •At the time of Jesus' birth there was war and destruction. Within a few years of Jesus' death, Jerusalem and the Temple were destroyed. What hope does Jesus bring to a dark world?,br/>•Jesus died, rose again, and ascended into heaven where he intercedes with the Father on our behalf. What is our response to Jesus? What claim does he have on our lives? Have you ever asked him to forgive your sins and be Messiah and king of your life?

Download or read book The Witness Wore Red written by Rebecca Musser and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2013-09-10 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You've watched Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey, the top 5 true-crime docuseries on Netflix. Now discover the revealing memoir of one woman featured in the series who was forced into polygamous marriage and her brave struggle to protect others from the same fate. Rebecca Musser grew up in fear, concealing her family's polygamous lifestyle from the "dangerous" outside world. Covered head-to-toe in strict, modest clothing, she received a rigorous education at Alta Academy, the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' school headed by Warren Jeffs. Always seeking to be an obedient Priesthood girl, in her teens she became the nineteenth wife of her people's prophet: 85-year-old Rulon Jeffs, Warren's father. Finally sickened by the abuse she suffered and saw around her, she pulled off a daring escape and sought to build a new life and family. The church, however, had a way of pulling her back in-and by 2007, Rebecca had no choice but to take the witness stand against the new prophet of the FLDS in order to protect her little sisters and other young girls from being forced to marry at shockingly young ages. The following year, Rebecca and the rest of the world watched as a team of Texas Rangers raided the Yearning for Zion Ranch, a stronghold of the FLDS. Rebecca's subsequent testimony would reveal the horrific secrets taking place behind closed doors of the temple, sending their leaders to prison for years, and Warren Jeffs for life. The Witness Wore Red is a gripping account of one woman's struggle to escape the perverse embrace of religious fanaticism and sexual slavery, and a courageous story of hope and transformation.
