People are the same everywhere No matter where you go, people have the same problems across cultures and places. This article is for pastors, from churchplantingworkshop.com, and explains how turnover in churches is to the preacher's advantage (and the pastor as counselor). I speak to the reuse of counseling and preaching material.

Westerners understanding Islam A realistic examination of the concepts within Islam and how they are unilaterally opposite of Christianity and western Democratic Republic government.
Topics: Stephen Young's article in American Thinker | To Meditate and Summarize | Where does tolerance come it? | Jizya | How to Deal with Muslims | The Muslim Community | Being Harsh with Muslims is the only Language they understand | In Summary.
Excerpt: Muslims are different from everybody else in that morally, their religion gives them permission to 1) kill non-Muslims, and 2) to enslave non-Muslims... Islam commands Muslims to convert people of other religions or kill them, the easiest thing just kill them.

Buy me a Cup of Coffee! To make an old Christian work into a PDF, a module for theWord, MySword, or eSword takes time. These works are scans from old books, and as such, I have to go through the text some dozen times looking for places where the OCR is incorrect, blurred, or just skipped something.
Text Editing.Then there are the old Bible references like John iii. 16. Many young Christians and even preachers do not know the Latin system for books of the Bible. I convert Roman numerals in these books to Arabic (iii. to 3).
I have had to invest days and days in writing macros to read a long text, and make substitutions (for the above, search for "iii" and replace with "3:"). Unfortunately, with Psalms you have to start with 150 in Roman numerals (CL) and work your way backwards. But using macros, it is almost instantaneous the next time I need this. Work smarter, not harder. All this takes time and patience, (and being smart enough to do it in a macro language) (as well as a lot of coffee) and then making the text into theWord or eSword, mySword or a PDF.
Please donate something to me once every 6 months or even once a year, even if it is only $5, so that I can pay my bills for hosting, and also keep things moving along. It costs me about $10 per month to keep a website on the Internet. My websites also contains ads which have links to my sermons, tracts, books, that I have written. These keep my works before visitors, even if they are not visiting the specific website where I have them stored. It is my own "web" internally of my own sites with links to good Christian literature. May God bless for your prayers and donations.
Take a look at a few of our tracts:
salv76 suffering should seek his Savior - explains how we should react to problems and sufferings, we should seek the Savior.
pc15 How to fight against depression - we treat the problem of depression. Depression is not a physical disease, it is an emotional and spiritual disease that "bleeds over" and causes aggravation and physical consequences if not attended to at the spiritual-social-emotional level.
ch15 Congregating because we Love - a tract about why we attend church. Our relationship with our brethren in Christ is highly integrated with our salvation and our sanctification.
SSTeen1-01 Existence of God - Does God really exist? This is not a tract but a teen Sunday School Class that I wrote answering this important question.
fam48 Men are God's Agents - Men are God’s Agents to accomplish His Will, looks at man as God wants him to be. Manhood and the husband-wife relationship.

Sheldon-Redemption of Freetown
INTRODUCTION
This little story was first read by me to my Young People’s society of Christian Endeavor in the Central Church, Topeka, Kan., during the spring of 1898.
There is nothing impossible in the story, which is largely founded on actual facts known to very many besides myself. What seems to be miraculous or impossible in the redemption of humanity seems so because too often the Christian disciple does not give himself for the solution of the human problem.
This is the one great truth I have wished to impress by the telling of this history, which is partly true, and might easily be wholly so; the truth that it is God with us, Emmanuel, who is redeeming the world, and it must be ourselves, the Christ in us, with the unredeemed humanity near us, that must redeem it. The moment the churches, the Endeavor societies, the Christian disciples everywhere, put themselves into any unredeemed spot in any town or city or place, the miracle of redemption will begin.
It is with the prayer that all who read this little story will give something of this redeeming love to a needy world that the book is sent out. There is the secret of the atonement in the three short words, “Who gave Himself.”
Charles M. Sheldon.

Mead Almost Christian Discovered
Mead Almost Christian Discovered
“Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.” Those words were spoken by Agrippa, after hearing Paul’s testimony of his conversion and after Paul’s witnessing to him the gospel (Acts xxvi.28). Paul responded, “I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost and altogether such as I am, except these bonds” (Acts 26:31).

Anne Kaestner – What’s the Use
What’s the Use
By Anne Kaestner
This short book focuses on the emotions most of us feel at times when the world seems too overwhelming to bare. It’s as if some strange force is coming against us in such a persistent, tenacious pattern that we want to just stick our head under the bed covers and block it all out. We ask the question, “God, what are you doing to me?” This is the testimony of one woman who found the answer.
