Cessationism — Proving Charismatic Gifts have Ceased
Dr Peter MastersDoes the Bible teach definitively that the charismatic gifts have ceased? The ceasing of revelatory and sign-gifts in the time of the apostles is so plainly taught in God’s Word, that the opposite view has only seriously appeared in the last 100 years.
Are The Architects Of New Morality Affected By Conscience?

Ask, Seek, Knock

Great Hymns & Psalms of the Faith – CD recording
Metropolitan Tabernacle
The glories of 'traditional' praise are often swept aside by 'contemporary' compositions lacking depth and spiritual quality.

Here is inspiring, heartfelt worship by believers of all nationalities.
How to Seek and Find the Lord
Dr Peter Masters
This is for people who want to find the Lord. The author shows that finding God is not a vague matter, for there is a definite way of salvation provided by God, and revealed in the Bible. Responding to this message leads to conversion - a great change which brings a person to know and relate to the living God.
