When God Changes Your Mind
"/>Here is the very first sermon of the Christian Church, given by Peter in Jerusalem. Thousands of Jews were challenged to change their entire way of thinking, and to seek the forgiveness of Christ. This is what happened and how 3000 were totally changed that day.

Everything Depends on Christ
"/>Who is the 'seed' of Abraham to whom the promises of salvation were given? Saved people from all lands (many not being descendants of Abraham) are the outcome. Christ primarily is the seed, and the redeemed are His by adoption. Here is the key to so much.

The Unseen Limits on Life
"/>A parable from the prophet Isaiah shows major limitations placed by God upon human life when He is left out of consideration. Here are the consequences of a materialistic life, and the great release that comes from turning to the Lord.

Reasons Why Salvation is by Grace

Worship or Entertainment?
Dr Peter Masters
Where will your church be five or ten years from now? With the adoption of contemporary worship, many have changed beyond recognition. This is one of the most important issues confronting Bible churches today, and here is why.
Joshua’s Sixteen Resolutions
Dr Peter Masters
Speaking by divine inspiration, the aged leader Joshua gave the people sixteen profound and heart-searching resolutions that stand to this day as monitors of the committed spiritual life. Although given in the form of exhortations, they are clearly intended to be embraced as personal resolutions or pledges by those who love and serve the Lord.
Antidotes to Backsliding
Dr Peter Masters
Every believer in Christ wants to know the biblical antidotes to backsliding, and this passage in Hebrews 3 is the inspired guide to many of them. Of course, the primary purpose of the passage is to warn unconverted people about the consequences of unbelief, but the points that are made apply also to believers, and this will be our concern in this article.
The Dual Nature And The Duel Within
C H Spurgeon
There are in all believers two principles. The apostle speaks of the law of his mind and then of another law in his members warring against the law of his mind. The converted man is a new man in Christ Jesus, but the old nature remains within him. Often the old nature appears to be uppermost, and yet, by the grace of God, it never can be.

God’s Rules for Holiness
Dr Peter Masters
Taken at face value the Ten Commandments are binding on all people, and will guard the way to Heaven, so that evil will never spoil its glory and purity. But the Commandments are far greater than their surface meaning, as this book shows. They challenge us as Christians on a wide range of sinful deeds and attitudes, and give immense help for staying close to the Lord.
Hallmarks of Christian Character
Dr Peter Masters
Here are great themes for the Christian life. Beginning with the foundation of humility, these pages show the real pilgrimage shared by true Christians, their outgoing helpfulness, their closeness to God, their attitude to serving the Lord, their happiness and their access to the power of the Spirit.
The New Calvinists
Dr E.S. Williams
Satan's major strategy is the infiltration and overthrow of the church by the world; worldliness now threatens every believer and church. This book reveals the new 'gospel' of the so-called 'New Calvinism' - a gospel that changes the terms of salvation, and that loves the world and embraces its culture.
The Meaning and Purpose of the Book of Job
Dr Peter Masters
The chief theme of Job is salvation by grace alone, but this 'patriarchal Bible' reveals many other topics, including the attributes of God, especially His sovereignty, the errors of 'works' religion, the aims of Satan, the purpose of suffering, the vulnerabilities of the believer and his ultimate blessing from God.
