Hopefully very soon, we are going to begin a tape ministry here in Kittanning PA. We will be giving away tapes and other material (articles) that discuss various cults, world religions, theological and ethical issues.
The tapes are from various conferences in which researchers come together and discuss the beliefs of different groups.
The groups consist of Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Oneness Pentecostalism, Christian Science, the Occult, International Church of Christ and the list could go on.
We also have material on various theological and apologetic issues such as the problem of evil, evolution, existence of God, skepticism and much much more.
One of my concerns in that the church continues to be the "Sleeping Giant of Orthodoxy." We need to as Jude 3 says, "Content for the faith, once for all delievered to the saints." My hope and prayer is that the body of Christ will be well equipped and be willing to engage the culture for Jesus Christ.
We are offering this material for free. But, if you believe that a ministry such as this is needed, we certainly welcome donations (tapes do cost).
Also, I am looking hold a seminar in the area in which we will address the history and beliefs of the Jehovah's Witnesses and we will give a defense for historic Christianity. Look for an annoucement in the Leader-Times. It probably will not be until September sometime (Lord willing).
If you have any questions or need information on a specific topic, let me know.
In HIS service,
