A Pure Church, A Biblical Theology of Ecclesiastical Separation

This book has been co-authored by pastors Mike Custer, Dave Mallinak, Erich McCandless, Bobby Mitchell, Dave Sutton, Gary Webb, Kent Brandenburg and myself.

The book is more than 300 pages, and deals with the biblical doctrine of ecclesiastical separation and the current trends that threaten the purity of the Lord's churches. It has been our goal to hold up the standard of the Lord's holiness and His desire for a pure church. We believe this work will encourage pastors and churches and promote the cause of "perfecting holiness in the fear of God" (II Corinthians 7:1).

Some of the subjects dealt with include:

God's holiness in the Old and New Testaments
Pastoral responsibility related to church purity
The Lord's Supper and the purity of the church
Separating from unbelievers
The unity of John 17
The proceedure for marking and avoiding
When churches are to separate from other churches
Separating from sinning believers
Resolving offenses in the church.

And A Time To Heal

Trauma tries the soul, and when it comes we are wounded; our inner person is permanently changed into a whole new being. To remove the scars is to go back to being who you were before the trauma. Then what would have been the point of trauma? Where would be the building of our inner person if the trauma did not test our soul? You can have scars and have healing The question then becomes, will we choose to have a life after trauma? Will our trauma make us bitter or will we see through the calamity for the opportunities and blessings our new life holds?

How to be The Second Man In the Ministry

Many books have been written about the Pastor and the responsibilities of his office. However, much less has been written about the men of God who serve in a subordinate position in the ministry. These are men who are ery definitely called by God into the ministry, but who for at least some period of time (maybe a lifetime) are expected to serve under another man. These men are placed in a unique and sometimes very difficult position, much like the wife in a marriage. This book focuses heavily upon those who have been called to serve under some other man. Since God's normal way to accomplish His work is through a team, our goal is to reveal exactly what God desires from those He places in a subordinate position to another man of God.

The Mystery of Christ and His Church

The Bible is full of self-proclaimed mysteries. While most mysteries are clearly resolved through in the written word of God, others will only be completely brought to light when we step into eternity. The mystery of the relationship between Christ and His local churches is a perfect example. This book uses a lot of Scripture to bring to sharp focus what modern christendom has made nebulous, or fuzzy. Dr. McCandless takes an honest look at the Hebrew cultural wedding traditions and sheds much light on this mystery. If you are a student of Scripture who holds that the work of the Lord is to be accomplished through His New Testament churches, put this book on your Must Read list.
