What God Hath Joined: A Biblical View of Divorce and Remarriage

 From “A Note To The Reader” (Page 3):

In a world where marriage is increasingly treated as temporary, conditional, and disposable, the need for biblical clarity on divorce and remarriage has never been greater. The culture says, “Do what makes you happy” — but Scripture calls believers to a higher standard: covenant faithfulness. Sadly, many Christians find themselves caught in painful, complicated situations involving broken vows, remarriage, and guilt. Some are confused. Others are burdened by false teaching that offers no hope of restoration.

  This study is not written from a place of judgment, but from a desire to uphold the truth of God’s Word while extending the grace of God’s heart. Marriage matters. Vows matter. But so does repentance, and so does God’s ability to forgive, redeem, and use anyone for His glory.

  This truth must not stay in the library — it must reach the next generation from the pulpit. We are raising children in a culture where divorce is not just common — it’s expected. If we fail to teach them God’s unchanging design for marriage and the sacred weight of this covenant, the world will shape their view before the Word ever does. They cannot wait until marriage to learn what it means to honor it. Our young people need truth now — before vows are spoken, before hearts are broken, and before the culture writes their theology.

The goal of this study is to present a biblically grounded view of divorce and remarriage — one that is uncompromising in doctrine, honest about sin, and overflowing with grace and truth.


Not New: A Guide To 200 Years Of KJV Revision Debate

From “A Note To The Reader” (page 4):

This book is not written to win arguments against critics. It is written to equip the next generation of preachers and church leaders with the nuts and bolts of history, so that when the shimmer of revisionist rhetoric flashes before them, they can see the actual undergirding of their cry.  It’s a field guide – a quick survey – to understanding and evaluating the revisionist movement.

You will find here both historical case studies and modern parallels, woven together to show that the revisionist cry is not new, not different, and never satisfied.  My prayer is that this work will strengthen your resolve to stand where faithful men have stood, and to feed your flock the Word of God that has endured revivals, persecutions, and centuries of scrutiny.

Finding God’s Man – A Biblical Approach to Pastoral Succession

When a church finds itself without a pastor, it enters one of the most vulnerable seasons of its existence. Without clear Biblical guidance, churches often turn to worldly methods, corporate models, or emotional decisions to find their next pastor — and sadly, the results are, too often: division, discouragement, and decline.

This book was born from a burden — a burden to see local churches follow the Spirit of God, not the wisdom of man, in finding God’s man to lead them. I pray that the pages that follow will encourage churches to trust the Scriptures fully, honor the Lord faithfully, and experience the unity and blessing that come when we follow God’s way instead of our own.

Wine Is A Mocker – Why Alcohol and Holiness Can’t Walk Hand in Hand

This booklet was not written out of tradition, personal preference, or pre-determined loyalty. It was born from a deep desire to approach a difficult and often controversial subject with one driving question in mind: What does the Bible actually say about alcohol?

  In a time when Christian liberty is frequently used as a justification for questionable choices, I believe it’s crucial for believers to be both honest and thorough in our examination of Scripture. My prayer is that what you’ll find in these pages is not just an argument, but a call — a call to holiness, discernment, and a life that glorifies God in every choice, including what we consume.

  I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I do know the Bible does. And when we lay aside culture, assumption, and emotion to let God’s Word speak clearly, the truth becomes beautifully—and sometimes uncomfortably—clear.

  Whether you’re convinced, curious, or even critical, I invite you to read with an open Bible, an open mind, and a heart submitted to Christ. May this study help you walk more wisely and reflect the holiness of the One who saved you.

Making The Bible Version Debate SIMPLE

  For the hundreds of English Bible versions, there seem to be twice as many opinions about which one you should use. The sad fact is that questions, answers, and conversations revolving around this subject have become so deep that the average Christian gets lost in the first paragraph. What is the result?

  The average Christian is left in the dark when it comes to the FACTS of the Bible version debate.

  The goal of this study is to “unwrap” the contents of the Bible version debate, beginning with what the Bible says about itself, the foundation of the Bible versions, answering controversial questions, and much more! This is accomplished in a simple, easy to read format that will allow the reader to comprehend the facts of the conversation!  I pray that it will be a blessing.
