The Unstable Peace of Life
"/>Surely nothing is more tragic than to believe life is peaceful and secure without God, only to discover one day that one faces eternal disaster. Here is the false peace that imprisons us in this material world and keeps us from seeking and finding the Lord.

The Faith of Samuel

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.
The Golden Chain of Blessing
Dr Peter Masters
The apostle is about to unfold the great 'cycle' of spiritual experience for Christian workers by teaching the golden chain of pressures (prayer: encouragement: thanksgiving). He wants all Christians to see pressures turn into spiritual encouragements, such as deliverances, provisions, strength and fruitfulness.
Biblical Roles of Men and Women
Dr Peter Masters
In Christ ‘there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.’ Neither male nor female is superior to the other in the sight of God. All are heirs together of salvation, equal in standing before God, equal in spiritual value, equal in inheritance.
The Necessity and Justification for the Free Offer of the Gospel
Rev. Malcolm Watts
God has laid in the record of the Gospel a firm foundation for the faith of sinners. They have his own warrant and therefore a perfect right to receive the Lord Jesus, in all his grace and fulness, for their salvation. Faith is receiving Christ, but no person can receive anything unless it is first offered to him as a gift (John 3.27; 4.10).

Compassion for Souls
Dr Peter Masters
It is amazing how much detailed and practical guidance is stored in the Gospels and the Book of Acts for all who engage in personal witness and preaching. Are we aware that the Lord Jesus Christ employed distinctive strategies for different kinds of unbeliever, and these may be studied and employed?
Richard Dawkins’ Fictional World
Mr Robin Compston
Richard Dawkins has attacked the God of the Bible with a ferocity unseen since communism. But these assaults contain numerous mistakes. Robin Compston exposes these with exceptional clarity, simultaneously showing the reality and value of the faith under attack.
Remember the Lord’s Day
Dr Peter Masters
Why was the Sabbath instituted by the Lord? Does it continue as the Lord’s Day? If so, how has it changed with the coming of Christ? How should it be kept? This booklet responds, showing that the sabbath principle is still God’s will for believers today, and listing its purposes and blessings.
