Divine Healing: He gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of weakness – Matthew 10:1 (Murray Updated Classics Book 3)


Andrew Murray - 1974
    Salvation offers holiness and healing, and the Holy Spirit is willing to give us a manifestation of His power. When we ask why this divine power is not more often seen, the only biblical answer to be found is: “Because of your unbelief.” Health as well as salvation is to be obtained by faith. The natural tendency of man is to bring about his salvation by his works, and it is only with difficulty that he comes to receive it by faith. But when it is a question of healing the body, he has still more difficulty grasping that truth. As to salvation, he finally accepts it because there is no other way to open the door of heaven. But for the body, he makes use of many other treatments. But happy is he who understands that it is the will of God to show the power of Jesus and to reveal to us His Fatherly love by healing physically as well as spiritually. By doing so, He increases and confirms our faith and teaches us that He demonstrates the power of redemption in the body as well as in the soul. This book provides biblical clarity concerning divine healing, and supplies basic and applicable principles necessary to having faith concerning healing. The author makes it very clear that we are not healed based on who we are, but based on who Christ is. About the Author Andrew Murray (1828-1917) was a well-known South African writer, teacher, and pastor.

But I Have Called You Friends

Yet it is friendship and love, unmasked and real, that every man seeks. Mother Mary Francis tells us how to recapture the commodity in shortest supply in the world, the love and friendship of Jesus Christ, in whom we have our friendship with all his brothers and sisters. This book is for everyone. For those married, and about to be, for here is the deepest of human friendships. It is for religious, for in Christ they are to make a community of friendship. For friends, and for those you would like to be your friends.

Each was preached by Schaeffer at L'Abri Fellowship in Switzerland to the community that gathered there to work, learn, and worship together. The focus of this collection is the lasting truth of the Bible, the faithfulness of God, the sufficiency of the work of Christ, and the reality of God's Spirit in history. The sermons represent a variety of styles-some are topical, some expound Old Testament passages, and still others delve into New Testament texts. No Little People includes theological sermons and messages that focus specifically on daily life and Christian practice. Each sermon is a single unit, and all are valuable for family devotions or other group study and worship. Readers will be encouraged by the value that God places on each person made in His image.

Anti-Semitism


R.B. Thieme Jr. - 1974
    Endless Jewish persecutions verify Satan-inspired antagonism toward God's elect people. History authenticates the devastating effect of such virulent bigotry.The biblical portrayal of this heinous intolerance presents the divine perspective and solution and outlines the plan of God for the Jew throughout human history. In the unconditional covenants to Israel, God guarantees that the Jew will survive despite cruel treatment. Therefore, He condemns anti-Semitism as a contradiction to His sovereign will and purpose.No one should ever be guilty of this insidious prejudice. Divine judgment and utter ruin are the ultimate destiny of individuals or nations that practice anti-Semitism-in the past, present, and future.This title is also available:On the MP3 CD special Spiritual Logistics IIOn 5 cassette tapes
