What happened that Friday on a Roman cross 2,000 years ago? Hidden in this mystery are treasures just waiting to be discovered! You can discover the most valuable treasure you could ever find in your lifetime. This treasure is Jesus Christ and His awesome love for you. You can begin to experience this genuine love through the information presented in this book! Unfortunately, most of us go through life without realizing the depth of God's passionate love for us―a love so great that He would rather die an excruciating death than live in heaven without you. If you only knew how much He desires to have a personal relationship with you and how much He wants you to be with Him for eternity. The gateway to realizing the depth of God's love is by comprehending the meaning of Christ's death on the cross and that He died there personally for YOU! But has the mystery of the cross of Christ been difficult for you to understand? It was for me. At one point in my life, I used to think that it was just a tradition handed down to us by the church―without relevance for our generation in the 21st century. One day I had a life-changing encounter with the God of the Bible and suddenly began to see things in a whole new light. Since that time, during my 40 years of being a Christian, the Holy Spirit has given me insights into the meaning of Christ's death on the cross, and my book Treasures from the Cross is the result. I have written this book because I am eager to help you discover its deeper meanings, just as I did―and not only to help you discover them, but to encourage you to go beyond the discovery to obtaining them and living a richer Christian life because of them, and ultimately enjoy fellowship with Christ forever. Why did the Father send His only Son to this earth? Why did Jesus endure such incredible, horrific suffering? What did God hope to accomplish? Christ desires that we understand this expression of His great love for us and that we comprehend the spiritual wealth He has lavished upon us through the cross of Christ. Jesus Christ paid the highest price possible to secure for you the greatest treasures of all. Do you know what these treasures are? Uncover 16 precious spiritual gifts that are already yours as a believer but may remain hidden from you. Now imagine receiving a very lovely present and when you unwrap and open it, to your surprise, you find many individual smaller gifts beautifully wrapped inside. Similarly, the treasures from the cross are contained in the person of Christ. But imagine leaving some of these gifts unopened. Who would do that? Yet this is what many Christians do with the gifts of Christ. For whatever reason, they fail to “open,” or understand, all the treasures Jesus has obtained for them on the cross. As a result, because of this ignorance of all the victories He has won for them, they experience defeat and frustration in many areas of their lives. Although Jesus has already purchased these costly gifts for us, they are not automatically ours. A gift can not be earned. We can only accept or reject it. Indeed, is any gift truly “ours” until we receive it? These wonderful treasures do not become ours until we receive Christ. Jesus Christ purchased incredible spiritual wealth for each one of us. These treasures that Christ paid so dearly for are the most expensive love gifts you will ever be offered. Jesus wants you to understand these marvelous gifts so you can respond to His love and obtain them. How many gifts are you aware of that Jesus bought personally for you? These hidden treasures from the cross lay waiting to be discovered! In addition to getting a greater insight into the depth of Christ’s love, you will also obtain a better comprehension of God’s ways―ways so much higher, different, and foreign to our human way of thinking as He provides salvation for a sinful human race. And finally, you’ll gain a greater understanding of what exactly Jesus accomplished for you by His death and resurrection. Of all the vast knowledge that you can obtain in this Information Age, these are the most valuable truths that you could ever know in this life because of their eternal ramifications.

The purpose of this book is to signal the warning that a gathering storm is on the horizon. Events are leading us closer to the prophesied apostasy and the rapture of the church. In the growing darkened social and spiritual climate, Christians may face a deepening isolation and an outright denial of the opportunity to witness the saving grace of Christ Jesus. Churches may also begin to feel a sharp curtailment of ministry, especially in speaking against the moral evils of the culture. Not all of the chapters in this book are warning chapters, but together they are meant to lay out a mosaic of things to come. Some of those things have to do with what is taking place in the world, but other issues also point to drastic changes within the larger Evangelical culture. 1. Sixteen outstanding authors and scholars have come together to warn Christians that the storm prophesied in Scripture is on the horizon. 2. The majority of Evangelical seminaries are shifting away from the teaching of prophetic truth. Learn why in this book. 3. Why are truths like the rapture, the tribulation, and the kingdom reign of Christ being denied? This book is written to tell you. 4. In the growing denial of Bible prophecy, what can we expect next? As the November election of 2004 neared, America awakened and found itself split down the middle between two ideologies, between liberal and conservative, but more, between moral Christian values, and between humanistic and secular values. Never before has the nation been so divided in such a deep and devious way. Events that unfold and transpire past 2004 will tell us just how deep the split is in the psyche of the nation. But while America is coming to terms with a liberal agenda that is without doubt destructive, in Europe and Asia there is no division because Christian mores have nothing to do with what is taking place in those cultural and religious climates. Europe long ago repudiated the spiritual heritage left over from the Reformation. And it can be fair to say that the tombstone is about to be placed over the Christian influences that have so led this nation in the past. The changes are now coming so fast spiritually and morally that the entire social fabric of the country is about to tear and fragment. Here are some examples: l In 1993 63% of Americans claimed to be Protestant, but unfortunately in that survey, Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses were included in the count. In 2002 the number saying they are Protestant Christians had dropped to 52%. Within a few years Protestants will be a minority in America! l In 2003 14% percent of Americans claimed to have no religion. l Up to 1993 Protestant denominations retained 90% of their congregants. The number now is 80%. It is admitted that because the mainline denominations are turning so quickly to liberalism, they are shrinking rapidly and may soon disappear altogether. The signs that the nation, and the world, is rapidly moving quickly to social and moral humanism are seen in the issues listed below on which Christian values no longer have an influence: Abortion Stem-cell research using aborted baby tissue Homosexual agendas Same-sex marriage Galloping socialism Euthanasia While some argue that these issues are simply social shifts that will not sap the strength of the western nations, such rapid changes point to an outright repudiation of biblical morality. Then there is the Middle East and Israel. Evangelicals who hold strongly to what the Bible teaches about the end times, see prophetic patterns in the establishment of the nation of Israel along with the return of the Jewish people to the promised land, and the rise of militant Islam. The Middle East is a powder keg that could explode and draw into that area the entire world. Changes in Europe also point to prophetic signposts. Europe is now virtually a united one nation! It now uses a Euro-dollar, and has a sitting parliament with an elected president. It also is rapidly moving to a total economic inter-dependence. Many of these changes point clearly to the prophesied one-world government that will dominate the globe during the great seven-year tribulation period. I have assembled some close friends and outstanding spiritual scholars to write about the deepening moral darkness looming on the horizon of our world. I trust that what they have written will help believers in Christ to understand the times we live in, but too, to become more diligent about sharing the good news of salvation found only in the Lord Jesus Christ.

“Let me tell you about the day I died.” So begins the story of Roman citizen Aulus Aurelius who, along with his family, was murdered for his faith in AD 67. Since then he has observed Earth from Heaven and now writes these letters to the modern church. With unique insights on eternity, prayer, and the Kingdom of God, he will challenge today’s Christian to have intimacy with God in private and boldness before others in public. Aulus tells of: · A Vietnamese Christian who sifted through human waste in prison latrines for the Bible. · An Eastern European orphan who died and changed history. · A girl saved from suicide by through three simple words, “I love you.” Letters From a Martyred Christian is page-turning fiction that will grip readers from the first sentence but also encourages practical application. It is designed with Christian discipleship classes, small groups, and book clubs in mind. Discussion questions for each chapter are included. “Many nights I was unable to sleep. I would pace in our garden, staring at the stars and pleading with God. I had three requests: One, that I would remain faithful to the Gospel. Two, that if need be, I would die in a way that pleased Him. And three, that my wife and children would not suffer. Two of my requests were granted.”

“They beat themselves” is a common refrain one is likely to hear after watching a sporting event. As is so often the case, a team usually gets beat because they provided too many opportunities for the opponent to be successful. Sadly, That is the position that the American Church finds herself in today. My friend, Dr. Gregory Thompson, spells out for all who have the courage to look at the truth that America is in the position that we are in because minds of our children have been “intercepted” because of our unwillingness to “tackle” the enemy in the battle for truth. If we do not awaken soon, the clock will run out on this once-great Christian nation.

In an era in which sexual sin is destroying marriages and families, toppling government leaders, causing rampant STDs among a generation, ravaging entire nations through AIDS…Unmasked is a book with revelation about God’s gift of sexuality, the heart of a woman, the true role of a man, God’s true design for men and women, a father’s role in protecting his daughters and training his sons, the worship of sex that has saturated the nations of the earth, and the church's mandate in a culture that worships sex. Today the most searched theme or topic in Christian websites is sex. Multiple generations are searching for answers to the confusion that surrounds sexuality, relationships, morality and marriage both in and outside the church. Unmasked presents a prophetic panorama of our sexually broken and death-dominated present-day culture. It exposes the ravenous wolves of America’s sex culture that seek to destroy a generation of young women and men. It is a manual for fathers and leaders not content with a casual and peaceful co-existence with the cultural moral direction that is ravaging sons and daughters of every nation. Unmasked has insights that offer… Release to women as they recognize the lies of the culture that have affected them. A challenge to men and fathers to rise up and recognize the war that is being waged against their mothers, daughters, sisters and wives and take their place as protectors instead of predators. A call to pastors and leaders to identify, confront and tear down the false ideologies that allow the worship of sex to continue, and create a culture in the church to heal and restore and train God’s people in purity and his ways in relationships.
