There is no conflict between the Bible and science that is evidence-based. The conflict is between belief in the Biblical Worldview and belief in a non-biblical worldview. If a claim about nature is not testable or observable and then confirmable, it is not science. This book shows where evidence-based science supports the Biblical Worldview, and where evidence-based science conflicts with the other so-called "scientific" worldviews of our modern times. For instance, experiments have shown over and over that life does not arise from chemicals, observations show that biological change is limited, chance does not cause anything, and the Big Bang violates the principle of cause and effect, is not testable, and therefore is not scientific. In his 1859 book, On the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin correctly wrote about his "belief in the transmutation of species" (p302), that "The theory of natural selection is grounded on . . . belief" (p320), and that he believed we descended from one common ancestor (p484). Darwin believed in evolution because he had no evidence. Concerning On the Origin of Species, he admitted that "the whole volume is one long argument" (p459). Concerning God, Darwin wrote about ". . . the laws impressed on matter by the Creator" (p488).Yet, evolutionist Jerry Coyne of the University of Chicago wrote that "the bulk of Darwin's 1859 book, On the Origin of Species (first edition) actually comprises evidence for evolution." This claim was in a 2014 letter from atheists complaining about the author to his University President. A signer of this letter (from the Freedom From Religion Foundation) was British multi-millionaire, Richard Dawkins. Atheists such as Coyne and Dawkins have no evidence for their claims that life came from chemicals, that we descended from a common ancestor, or that there is no God. They believe these claims.

The book of Revelation tells us that there will soon be a war to end all wars-one defined by the Prince of Evil squaring off against the King of Light. While we must keep that final battle in our minds at all times, there are also struggles we must face now.In this book, the author provides guidance on overcoming obstacles and considers difficult questions that Christians have struggled to answer for generations, including:¿Why are there so many translations to the Bible-and can they all be trusted?¿Why did the Lord curse all of humanity over the eating of some fruit?¿Does the Bible condone slavery, and if so, why?¿Why does the Bible have so many nitpicky rules?The author also examines the concept of suffering, which can be a challenging topic as God allows even good people to suffer.God is the king of all kings, the lord of all lords, and the priest of all priests. He is exalted above all. Find out why he's the best at what a king should do, which includes leading his followers into battle.

Do you long for genuine relationships where you can know others and be known by them? Do you desire more than just gathering in the same space with others without any real connection? Yet, simultaneously, do you find yourself occasionally pushing back when someone gets too close? Why do you think you have that longing, and why do you think deep-abiding relationships are such a struggle to find and maintain? In this book, Pastor Neal Ledbetter makes the case that the gospel of Jesus Christ gives us answers. In the gospel, we are offered the endless treasure of Jesus and the never-ending, overflowing supply of treasures found in him. One of the rare jewels that comes with a new identity in Christ is a new gospel community, kingdom-family, and people to which we belong and in which we can know and be known. Paul calls it our inheritance in the saints (Eph 1:18), our citizenship with the saints, and our membership among the household of God (Eph 2:19-22). This new gospel community and kingdom-family is simply too important and too wonderful a treasure to ignore, avoid, or treat as unnecessary, unimportant, or secondary to our lives. This study will explore the extraordinary gift we have been given in gospel community. We'll see how the gospel transforms us individually and simultaneously forms us into a new people. We'll survey how we are intended to live together and the only sustaining motive and power for doing so. And finally, we'll examine several characteristics necessary to experience the rare jewel of gospel community.

Vision of the Light presents a creative nonfiction narrative that explores deep existential questions and encourages you to seek the truth of the biblical scriptures, finding answers before the presence of the glory of God in an intimate way.This book is deemed as a "... collection of Christian meditations," and " ...a compelling read" by Kirkus Review! These verses merge themes of philosophy, science, and theology into a cohesive spirit of worship that expresses the truth of God's purpose for humanity. The goal of this effort is to create a cohesive concept to explain life and its existence, its meaning and logic - to be able to fulfill the endless inquiry of reason and will within the bounds of our human condition. Immersing our entire beings and senses, this book encourages the reader to pursue the higher dimension of the kingdom of God, and yearn to experience God's divine goodness, providence, and glory through the study of his logic and creation.This collection goes through the birth of Creation and knowing God, man coming to the void and finding meaning through the Gospel, and the believer learning to abide in God's presence by surrendering to the will of God and standing firm in faith in all circumstances. It dwells on the joys of coming to know intimately the love of God as one matures in the faith, the experience of the believer coming into a calling, and it speaks into the rising of the collective call God has for the church to inspire our generation of believers to stand firm in the calling.The 2023 Kirkus Review states, "Archibold strikes a straightforward, empathetic tone throughout, assuring her readers that her book is divinely inspired by a call to simple obedience: "Relinquish yourself to me," God commands, "for I am always to sustain you, provide for you, and protect you." We eagerly look forward to releasing an album that includes six poems from this poetry collection that were adapted into songs by composer and vocalist, Michael Richardson. These songs are, at their core, anchor hymns that we see coming into the congregational worship setting. Also, this book will be released with a companion prompt journal for reflection and devotional journaling that has wonderful quotes as prompts that are sure to stir and inspire you. The book will also be available as an ebook and an audiobook. A Spanish translation of this collection will also be released. Stay tuned! www.zionsprouts.com

"As much as we love life's mountain peaks, we can't stay there. Life is lived in the plains and valleys, with the rub and hubbub of other folks" (Michael Wittmer, Foreword). This book will take you to some of the most important mountain peaks in God's Word, explain what happened there, and then give you life lessons you can learn from that mountain. God did not tell us these mountain top stories just to entertain us or to explain the experience on the mountain. He told us these stories so that we might learn from them. God's Lessons from the Mountains will teach you how to engage as a deeper student of the Bible, and grow in your Christian walk.

Can we get closer to God? Yes, and this method is a powerful way to do it. Try it you will like it.
