Sharpen Your Sword contains a wealth of information and help for the believer in their knowledge and use of the Word of God. Also called "the sword of the Spirit," the Bible should be the weapon we use daily in spiritual warfare. However, the Sword is useless if it is not picked up. It is also meaningless if we do not study and use it properly. This book begins with an introduction, or overview, of the Bible. It also contains vital help for reading, studying, and memorizing the Scriptures. Other chapters explore some of the most significant texts regarding understanding the Bible, such as 2 Timothy 3:16, Psalm 19, and Psalm 119. The Sword of the Spirit has been given to the believer to help gain victory. I pray this book will aid each reader in skillfully wielding his Sword.

Open, close, or closed (restricted) communion? Which of the three positions is the biblical one? All three are practiced by those who call themselves Independent Baptists. In this booklet, Brother Matthew Hines presents the case that closed communion is the biblical way to observe the ordinance of the Lord's supper. The local New Testament Baptist church has been given authority by Christ to administer this ordinance and to call her members to a somber commemoration of what their Lord and Saviour did for them on Calvary.

How thankful I am for the privilege of growing up in a Christian home. I accepted the Lord as my personal Saviour when I was a young child, and my parents taught me how to pray and trust the Lord for all things in my life. I went to a small Christian college, met my husband there, and we've been married since 1970. We enjoy spending time with our children and eight granddaughters. My husband, Dick, has always been my best friend, encourager, and spiritual rock throughout our years together. I was always very involved in church and outdoor activities. However, after having two back surgeries, I developed a rare spinal disease in 2000 that caused constant, excruciating pain and left me unable to do much of anything. I did not receive relief from doctors as they were unfamiliar with this condition. After much prayer and guidance from a dear Christian doctor, we researched and found no cure, but there are ways to help me cope and function. For that, we are truly thankful. During this time, I asked the Lord to use me in some way to be a blessing to others. He brought to mind many precious promises from His Word and sweet hymns that I had learned as a child. I began writing poems and songs. Through this trial, I wanted to share His Word, His promises, and valuable lessons that gave me peace and even joy. He brought me through my darkest hours, and He can do the same for you. Trust in the Lord and be encouraged by Him and His Word.
