Self-deception is inherent in everyone, even born-again Christians, those who have much biblical light and knowledge. And whatever degree of holiness they are currently at, they are satisfied with where they are. In this satisfaction, they often flatter themselves, believing that God is as pleased with them as they are of themselves. Many people in the church flatter themselves, believing they have discovered an easier path in the Christian walk, and in the eternal salvation which brings them to heaven, than Paul was aware of. They assume they will achieve victory and receive the crown not by battling and mortifying their own sins, but by deluding themselves into thinking they are something rather than nothing and engaging in cleverly crafted self-talk full of gracious words and empty persuasiveness. This only serves to disguise their own hypocrisy and unfaithfulness to Christ's covenant, leading to the deception and ruin of themselves, and even other people they infect. The Christian church is filled with people like this. Are you one of them? Self-flattery is a sin against the ninth commandment which must be unmasked. In this work, McMahon seeks to uncover this very pervasive sin, showing what self-flattery is, how one comes to flatter themselves in their daily walk, and the motives to shun self-flattery in order to mortify it by the power of the Spirit. People often like to hear from the preacher, just tell me Jesus loves me and leave it at that. This delusion is the cornerstone of a self-flattering person. People always say, "I'm a Christian!" The question revolves around whether they act like it as well; do they have a life answerable to the profession they make when they say it? Or are they hiding behind the mask of smooth words they tell themselves about their spiritual condition?

Nicholas Chewney (1610-1685) was a puritan divine who was a powerful Reformed Gospel preacher and theologian. This treatise was originally penned by Nicholas Chewney in response to a Socinian tract written by Samuel Richardson which denied hell. Chewney takes up the biblical and Reformed position on hell as Jesus Christ taught it in Scripture. The treatise is divided into four sections: he shows that there is such a place as hell, what this place is, and where it is. He concludes with a final section on application. He does not refute Richardson as a Christian polemic would point by point. Chewney confesses that a polemic was his first line of thinking. However, he wrote this tract to simply allow Scripture to teach the church the biblical doctrine of hell. As a result, his purpose in writing this treatise on hell was for the glory of God, both in his mercy and justice, for the comfort of all poor, believing souls, and for the terror of all wicked and ungodly wretches. This work is not a scan or facsimile and has been made easy to read with an active table of contents for electronic versions.

He doesn't realize how hard this request is on her and the problems it will cause between them. How will they manage the complexities of school, work, friendships, and now romantic entanglements?

Today, few people would recognize the name "Rafael Sabatini", but in the 1920s and 1930s he was one of the most popular authors in the world. He was called "the Alexandre Dumas of Modern Fiction" and "the Prince of Storytellers", and he almost singlehandedly resurrected the genre of the swashbuckler both in literature and on film. Historical romances and adventure stories were Sabatini's stock-in-trade and the focal point of the majority of his literary writings, but for a brief time, at the beginning of his writing career, he must have had at least a passing interest in hypnotism, for he would write, not one, but two stories dealing with the subject. The first of his hypnotic tales was The Avenger, which appeared in the March 1909 issue of Gunter's Magazine. In The Avenger, we meet Roger Galliphant, a man with medical training and a strong interest in psychology and psychic research. Galliphant is also a powerful hypnotist who, while performing a simple demonstration of hypnotism in front of friends, discovers that an acquaintance of his, James Chester, has used hypnotism to commit at least two murders. Roger Galliphant, knowing the difficulty of proving Chester's crimes in a court of law, plans on avenging the murder victims' deaths, and he does so by using his own hypnotic powers against those of Chester's-and thus a battle between hypnotists ensues. Roger Galliphant also appears in Sabatini's second tale dealing with hypnosis, The Dream, a novelette published in the August 1912 issue of The Story-Teller. Galliphant appears toward the end of the story when he is needed as an eminent authority on hypnotism, and he must decide if Francis Orpington was under the influence of hypnotic suggestion when he killed an unarmed man.
Is there the need for something beyond what we experience in this universe to explain who we are?Is God necessary or can we happily exist without him?What is the end result of societies designed without an ethos attached to a metaphysical foundation?This book attempts to answer these plus many other questions, providing a final solution for the argument from evil, argument from free will, the need for objective morality and what is the essence of atheism and its consequences within society.The downward spiral humanity delves itself into when abandoning the sense of being, beyond what nature designed to be, is discussed in detail, just like the many downfalls of subjectivizing anything from morality to the meaning of our existence. This book addresses the consequences of replacing religious ethos with an atheist ethos including socialism, Marxism, feminism, Wokeness, red pilling and many forms of tribalism.A neologism is introduced ('faux-atheism') to classify those who wish to detach themselves from spiritual belief yet do not wish to live with its consequences, leading to compatibilism, humanism and other non-sensical designs, in a desperate attempt to salvage the inevitable: can humans understand and explain their existence without God?
"Kelvin's calm, empirical, and even skeptical approach to spiritual matters has always impressed me. And in his new book he shares with us memories of dozens of lifetimes using that same rational approach. More importantly, he shares how knowing these past lives makes a difference in the here and now. The stories are entertaining. And you will come away with a better understanding of who you are as more than just the role you are playing in this one lifetime."Brian D. SmithWhat happens after we die? Do we ever become human again? In a different body?In a different culture?Kelvin's memories, which reach back 6,000 years, indicate we do.In 1977, back when he often teased others for their interest in reincarnation, Kelvin spontaneously started remembering events from his own past lives.His memories now span two dozen lifetimes - from ancient Sumeria, Egypt, Judea and Rome to Asia, 18th century Europe, and 19th and 20th century America.Kelvin's memories also provide fascinating windows into the development of our personality traits, revealing similarities in behavioral and emotional patterns that could help each of us understand our own personalities better.Kelvin's memories will take you along on his personal journey through recorded history, shedding new light on many well-known events.Kelvin Chin is a public speaker, author, and meditation teacher.He is the Executive Director & Founder of Turning Within.org and the Overcoming the Fear of Death Foundation.He has helped people, in many different ways, to live more effective and enjoyable lives since the 1970s."This book is a brilliant recollection of lives lived in the past. It will make you think and possibly even trigger those memories that are stored within your own subconscious. That's what it did for me!"Annmarie Martin

One man's story of recovery from addiction, while growing up in central and shoreline Connecticut in the early 1960s. The journey of George Gdovin's life, as remembered in this collection of true stories, provides a telling history of a man who survived near-death at birth only to suffer for two decades in early adulthood with crippling alcohol and drug addiction. After losing the love of his first wife-and his sons for a time-because of addiction, a light eventually shined when caring people awoke a spiritually lost man and steered him into the miracle of recovery in his early forties. The story of Gdovin's life-as told in his own words-about growing up in central and shoreline Connecticut in the early-1960s as part of a close-knit Italian American family, becoming a Printer's Devil and then a master draftsman-while riding motorcycles on weekends from one Connecticut bar to another with his "posse"-are just some of the entertaining and informative chapters in this book. Thanks to the miracles that touched George Gdovin through the years, he could maintain sobriety and use that recovery process to help others in prisons and AA groups for over three decades. He also established a decorated 35-year career as a licensed municipal Building Official, met and married his spiritual equal, and helped save a historical lighthouse in Guilford, Connecticut.
The end of a thingis better than its beginning . . .>From a very young age I had a love for music. With faith in God and His help, I accomplished my goal of sharing the joys of music with students, audiences, and family and friends, despite my difficulties.I want others to know they can accomplish much in spite of tribulation, which produces perseverance, character, and hope (Romans 5:3-5). For me, the end of a thing was truly better than its beginning."
A STUDY OF THE BIBLICAL TEXTS ON BAPTISMThe water of baptism which God meant to unite us has become the waterthat divides us. But the topic of baptism does not have to divide us-it canbe one of the Bible doctrines that submerges us in a common relationshipwith our Lord Jesus.Scripture is far from silent on the subject of baptism, yet history is strewnwith such a variety of perspectives that it becomes difficult to gain a clearview of what the Bible itself actually has to say.In thirteen chapters, Dr. Cottrell discusses twelve major texts on baptismin the New Testament by examining the meaning of the original words, thehistorical background, and the comparative references.The texts covered: - Matthew 28:18-20- Mark 16:15-16- John 3:3-5- Acts 2:38-39- Acts 22:16- Romans 6:3-4- 1 Corinthians 12:13- Galatians 3:26-27- Ephesians 5:25-27- Colossians 2:11-13- Titus 3:5- 1 Peter 3:21A thorough and landmark study, this book should be in the library ofevery serious Bible student.
Arthur Pendragon's lifelong struggle to reconcile his royal lineage began with the tragic loss of his father nearly two decades ago. Since that fateful day, he has been tormented by relentless nightmares, each one hauntingly replaying the moment his father met his demise in the flame-coated depths of the Camelot forest. These ever-evolving, surreal visions have cast a shroud of doubt over the actual events of that night, leaving Arthur grappling with the truth.Compounding his inner turmoil is the pervasive shadow of his uncle, King Ergott, his looming presence serving only to deepen Arthur's sense of detachment from the royal family, particularly as the city begins to call for the fulfilment of the Born King prophecy. The weight of his destiny clashes with King Ergott's reign, exiling Arthur from the fringes of the world he once considered his own. With little choice but to embark on a fresh start in an unfamiliar locale, Arthur's path converges with a forgotten cohort of historical Knights whose role in his quest will prove irreplaceable.To reclaim his birthright and stop his uncle's evil plans, Arthur must learn to change for the better. His journey ahead demands that he learns to become a Knight - only by embracing his fate can he hope to defeat the darkness that has shadowed the land of Braynor and fulfil his destiny as the rightful ruler of Camelot.

Not-for-Profit (5th) Edition. . . . Welcome to an educational and entertaining encounter with your RV's 12-Volt Electricity. This Primer was explicitly designed to get all RVers thinking in a different direction. Written for all RV enthusiasts, especially those who are: Initially "CONSIDERING" RVing, Just "BEGINNING" their RVing experience, Have been "CAMPING for YEARS," or, Living the dream of "FULL-TIMING." . . . The information within will clearly demonstrate that an RV "house" battery is NOT like a car "starting" battery, and give everyone the background to understand just how many different "things" in their RV are actually powered by 12-Volts, as well as why this system is considered to be the RV's "lifeblood." Additionally, this Primer endeavors to help all readers establish a good working knowledge of "basic" 12-Volt RV Electricity. Principally, a knowledge level that will enable each reader to start thinking in terms of efficient "maintenance and use" of their 12-Volt system, and, thus, preventing the proverbially frustrating, "I Think The Batteries Are Dead?!" . . . The included Editorial Comments embody the author's many years of hands-on experience: using and living in RV's, conducting the business of repairing RVs, and also specializing in educating the RV owners. Also included are lots of "tips and tricks" on how to help your RV's battery bank work more efficiently and "live" longer. . . . The ladies are especially encouraged to read everything between this book's covers. Then they will understand why it is more probable to check for a "blown fuse" rather than a "tripped circuit breaker." . . . Note: Not-Eligible-for-Wholesale-Purchase. . . . WHY A "NOT-FOR-PROFIT" EDITION? . . . When it was first written, this Primer was an integral part of the author's Understanding Your RV series of four books for all RVers. Unfortunately, it has been out of circulation far too long and not available for several editions as a stand-alone book. It was, however, offered as a free "bonus" book when purchasing the other three books ("Shore Power," "Appliances," and "Holding Tanks") as a set. . . . Ideally, as a publishing company, we would like make up for the angst many readers have expressed because of its stand-alone scarcity and give the book away for free. Regrettably, to do so has proven to be very challenging. There are several "production" layers in a publication venture, which require financial compensation. . . . As a result, we are offering this updated (5th) edition of the "Battery Power" Primer to our readers for the cost of minimal fees - those required by others who are a part of the "production" process: Professional Preparation Fees, Printing Fees, Promotion Fees, and Sales Processing Fees, to name just a few. . . . It is appropriately referred to as a "Not-for-Profit" book because the author, while retaining his copyrights, is foregoing Royalty income from the sale of this special edition of "Battery Power." Also, this Primer will not be available for what is known as "Expanded Distribution," meaning it will not be available for Volume Wholesale Purchasing. Hence the "Not Eligible for Wholesale Purchase" tag at the bottom of the pages.

A LAST STAND AGAINST INSANE ODDS. Charismatic Spanish sea captain and Armada castaway Francisco de Cuéllar has hardly been rescued by Santiago and Muireann, when terrible tidings reach the Irish kingdom of Dartry at the start of a winter that is harsh beyond memory. Queen Elizabeth's viceroy has left Dublin, leading an army of two thousand strong across Ireland. As one rebel chieftain after another is crushed in his path, the English commander's destination appears to be Santiago's hideout in Dartry. The tribe's sufferings are set to greatly worsen as they are forced to withdraw to the frosty mountains with their herds and belongings. They leave behind them nine Spaniards led by the brash Captain de Cuéllar, sworn to defend the island fort of Rossclogher. As the viceroy's army gathers about the tower-house, Santiago must fight a lost cause of his own making. Vile betrayal worsens the odds faced by the defenders, who must choose between fatal surrender and a heroic last stand.

In 1938, land between the current Thomas Tallis school and Kidbrooke railway station was the location of the RAF No. 1 Balloon Centre. During WW2 it flew barrage balloons to defend targets from German bombing. RAF Balloon Command had twenty Centres that flew thousands of balloons in the British Isles and abroad. No1 Centre was the first to come into operation, with its Squadrons 901, 902 and 903. Personnel and support were needed for round the clock operation in all weathers. It was a dangerous home-front service. Around 50, of the Balloon Command's 500 servicemen and women who lost their lives, died serving in this Centre. Along the path to placing memorials at the site, its historic importance was recognised by the grant of a Heritage Award of the Royal Aeronautical Society. Described here are the creation of the Centre, its facilities, record books and its post-war use. This book gives insight into life at the Centre. More detail, across national WW2 balloon use, is available in the numerous articles posted on www.bbrclub.org. Peter Sydenham10 January 2024
