Locking Shields Many Christian men have bought into a lie: "Now that I've been saved and set free, my struggles, weaknesses, and hang-ups should be a thing of the past. I've got this under control." That lie is setting you up for failure. Yes, we have been forgiven for all that we've done, but frequently the reprecussions from our struggle with pornography, substance abuse, anger, selfishness, etc. still have to be walked out. We have many things to unlearn. Most of us feel like we're the only one fighting to overcome an obstacle in our life. Satan would love for us to stay focused on the struggle, trying to do it by ourselves. God never intended for us to do this alone. It's important to know that other Christian men are struggling too. We draw strength, encouragement, and godly wisdom through close association with other men. There is power in locking shields of faith, driving back the enemy of our soul, and taking ground in Jesus' name. Locking Shields is a Bible study guide designed for those who want a deeper connection with God and their brothers in Christ. This collection of direct and passionate lessons enables you to grab a few guys and start pursuing the freedom Jesus offers. The reason we meet is to pursue our relationship with God and encourage each other as we go after all of who He is and all that He has for us. It is both life changing and life giving. The time is now. Let's get after it.

Through the author's personal stories and experiences, Heart Language brings to life key ways in which God communicates with mankind.

Here's a chance to peer into the deaf world and the Bible to learn to communicate with Heart Language. Heart Language can change lives. Let us learn it! Let us live it! Let us become fluent users of this unique language, and let us change the world!

"How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation" Hebrews 2:3. This "great salvation" includes much more than escape from God's judgment and condemnation, although that escape is of immeasurable benefit. This great salvation also brings believers into the family of God as His children and provides the capacity through His Holy Spirit to transform believers into godly children. The Mystery of Godliness addresses the wonder of being created and being saved but its major emphasis is the blessed process of becoming godly. Mysteries beg to be solved and clues are needed to do it. As this mystery of godliness is explored, readers will discover clues about the process by which their mind can be renewed and they can be transformed into the image of Christ. The path to godliness is both a journey and a destination. For many, achieving godliness seems unattainable, as if it were up to the individual; but Scripture teaches that it is a result of the work of God. Belief drives practice is a central theme of this book. To achieve the goal of godly practice, a person must believe truth. To know truth, a person must know the Lord Jesus and the Bible. What you believe matters; it impacts what you do and who you are. In the course of reading this book, readers will discover many applications of this principle, which are clues to the mystery of godliness. Believing God's truth will result in attitudes and behaviors that are godly. Through these pages, readers will come to marvel at this "so great salvation" and with a thankful heart come to know and love the Lord Jesus more and more.
