From Sabbath to Sabbath: returning the holy Sabbath to the disciples of Jesus / by Lancaster, D. Thomas.;

Why don't Christians in the church today keep the biblical Sabbath? Was the observance of the seventh-day Sabbath done away with, canceled, changed, replaced, fulfilled, made obsolete, suppressed, hijacked, or simply forgotten? Even if you already know the answers, you'll want to read this book. From Sabbath to Sabbath approaches the question of the Sabbath from a completely new Messianic Jewish perspective. Lancaster introduces the Sabbath, its observance, and the story of how the church transitioned from Sabbath to Sunday. This theological table-turner is a fun-to-read and inspiring journey into the world of the Bible.

The origins of Christmas / by Kelly, Joseph F.(Joseph Francis),1945-(CARDINAL)810009;

The birth of Jesus -- Creating the Christmas story -- Creating Christmas day and the Christmas season -- Jesus, Mary, the magi, and an obscure Asian bishop -- The popular acceptance of Christmas.When was Christmas first celebrated? How did December 25 become the date for the feast? How did the Bible's "magi from the East" become three kings named Melchior, Caspar, and Balthasar who rode camels from three different continents to worship the newborn Christ? How did the Feast of the Nativity generate an entire liturgical season from Advent to Candlemas? Why did medieval and Renaissance artists portray Joseph as an old man? When did the first Christmas music appear? And who was the real Saint Nicholas?These and many other questions are answered in this revised and expanded edition of The Origins of Christmas. The story of the origins of Christmas is not well known, but it is a fascinating tale. It begins when the first Christians had little interest in Christ's Nativity, and it finishes when Christmas had become an integral part of Christian life and Western culture.

It's not like being black : how sexual activists hijacked the civil rights movement / by Baucham, Voddie T.,Jr.,1969-author.;

Includes bibliographical references.Introduction: The key to Pandora's box -- The myth of the "sexual minority": The making of the myth -- Loving v. Virginia -- The founders of the feast -- The ubiquitous, ever-growing, self-contradictory acronym: LGBT -- QIA2S+ -- The growth of the movement: How we got here -- The enemy within -- The truth we must define and defend: Is it fair to use the Bible? -- What happens when we buy the lie? -- God's design for marriage -- And such were some of you -- Conclusion."We are living in crazy times. Biological men are competing and winning against biological women in sports. The newest Supreme Court justice declined to answer the simple question: 'What is a woman?' Record numbers of young Americans now identify as transgender. Sexually explicit materials permeate schools. Pedophiles have rebranded as 'minor-attracted persons. And now sexual identity and gender ideology advocates have hijacked the civil rights movement, co-opting its success for their own insidious purposes. They have sold the lie that sexual identities are equivalent to race and that the fight for the rights of 'sexual minorities' is the final frontier in the struggle for civil rights. To make matters even worse, many evangelical leaders, eager to appease the culture, have gone along to get along--even excusing and redefining sinful behavior as a mere 'sexual identity.' In It's Not Like Being Black, pastor and bestselling author Voddie T. Baucham Jr. equips Christians to fight back against this pervasive sexual identity ideology and stand firm in biblical truths, giving them the courage to: Remain vigilant and protect their children from the onslaught of this insidious ideology, contend for biblical truth in the marketplace of ideas, Boldly celebrate, cherish, and defend true marriage, willingly suffer as strangers and aliens for holding fast to what the Bible actually says. Now is the time for the Church to act. Christians cannot contradict Scripture, discard thousands of years of tradition, subvert the English language, and deny fundamental reality without paying a heavy price." --
