We receive the testimony of God, that “all scripture is given by inspiration of God.” The words which God had the prophets and apostles write down were the very words which God inspired those men to record. Not only did God inspire men to pen His words, but He also preserved those words as promised. We know from the testimony of scripture that Satan has worked to cast doubt upon the word of God from the beginning. Equipped with the understanding of God's promise to preserve His words and Satan's avowed attack upon them, we have carefully examined the testimony of the scriptures and ultimately identified the preserved word of God in our English language.
We are persuaded that God not only preserved His words but had them arranged in the very order they are placed in our English copy. This persuasion comes from the internal evidence of the word of God. By following the God designed order, the very order in which He is reconciling “all things,” we come to understand what God is doing today. As a result, we have come to appreciate why the apostle Paul was “separated unto the gospel of God” (Rom 1:1).
Understanding Paul’s unique apostleship as “the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles” (Rom 15:16) equips us to handle the word of God accordingly. We prayerfully commend the studies under the “Listen” tab on this site, that you may be edified by the inspired, preserved, and divinely ordered words of God.

Satan and His Plan of Evil by Keith Blades
"I Will Be Like The Most High..." With these words, the most exalted creature in God's heavenly creation - "Lucifer, the anointed cherub" - launched his career as Satan, the adversary to God. To be "like the most High" is the object of Satan's desire, and he formulated a plan of evil designed to achieve that goal. This is a synopsis of what the Bible teaches about Satan and his activities, both in heaven and on earth, as he seeks to succeed with his plan of evil. It examines God’s response to this plan, formulating His own plan that He will use as He settles His contention with Satan.
Properly Handling The Word of Truth by Keith Blades
Without a doubt there is no greater, or more valuable possession that we can hold in our hands than the word of God – The Holy Bible. And while we hold, and read, and study God’s word, we have no greater need than to know how to handle it as God has intended that we handle it. For only then will we handle the Bible properly, and only then will it be able to effectually and fully function for us as “the word of truth” that it is, and thereby be able to accomplish what God has designed it to accomplish in our minds, and hearts, and lives. These 12 basic lessons are designed to ensure you handle the Bible as God intends.
The Mystery of Godliness by David Winston Busch
This Pauline primer addresses the various components that make up the edification process following the pattern of Paul's epistles. It is aimed at "stablishing" us concerning "the mystery" as we go from a "babe" in Christ to an "elder" in the faith. It provides an overview of how godly edification progresses in Paul's gospel from Roman "establishment” to Ephesian "completion" and Thessalonian "perfection.”
