Being Reconciled With God
The Bible speaks internationally when it says there is one mediator between God and man. No other religion presents a mediator. All say that humans can achieve acceptance with God. Why is a mediator so vital? How did Christ carry out His role?

God in Three Persons
The Three Persons of the Godhead are named in this verse, leading us to marvel at the glory of God and His electing love, secondly to see the work of the Spirit in saving and sanctifying, and thirdly how Christ accomplished redemption.

How God Views Wayward Churches
'The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when king Zedekiah sent unto him Pashur the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying, Enquire, I pray thee, of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon maketh war against us; if so be that the LORD will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us.'

Paul’s Blueprint For A Sacrificial Church
Dr Peter Masters
One of the most beautiful characteristics in a congregation is a sacrificial spirit, and we should greatly desire and work for this. A sacrificial people fulfil the principle of Romans 12.1 – ‘I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.’
What Satan Can and Cannot Do
Dr Peter Masters
With Calvary before Him, the Lord spoke these remarkable words – ‘Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.’ From this time Satan would be curbed in his power, still able to work much wickedness until the final day, but severely limited.

It is astonishing that even evangelical churches are hiring counsellors to ‘heal’ Christians who need biblical advice, not psychological therapy.
Against Hastening to Remove from our Post of Duty
C H Spurgeon

Dr Peter Masters
Where will your church be five or ten years from now? – asks the author. With the adoption of contemporary music worship many have already changed beyond recognition. Yet more will do so. Here are four essential principles which Jesus Christ laid down for worship, and by which every new idea must be judged.
The Dark Side of Christian Counselling
Dr E.S. Williams
It is amazing how rapidly the Christian counselling movement has spread through churches, teaching that life's trials are all illnesses to be treated and implying that for 1900 years the Bible has been insufficient for God's people. Medical doctor Ted Williams challenges these claims.
When to Stand Apart
Dr Peter Masters
It is clear that Christians must stand apart from false teachers who deny the fundamentals of the faith. Many scriptures make this plain. But what about 'secondary' separation, meaning separation from believers who walk closely with heretics and wrongdoers? Here is guidance on the use of love and discretion in applying the doctrine of separation.
