AN AGENDA FOR TEENS comes from a career long effort to assemble the biblical books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes into a meaningful tool. These books are not mere collections of moral sayings. They are Divinely inspired to provide an annotated checklist for the practical
experiences and observations of God's people.
Proverbs and Ecclesiastes provide a training agenda for young people; a method for the practice of Christian holiness; and a resource for parents to collaborate on behalf of their young people.
The intent of this podcast is to converge upon the actual expectations of the Lord for his people, both stated and implied. The expectations of the kingdom of God will apply for Christians of all venues and nations of the earth.
The 31 core episodes have been limited to about 10 to 15 minutes each. The attached notes contain primary takeaways which have been identified from a line-by-line analysis of the scriptures. There is a lot of ground to cover, with about 100 takeaways from the New Testament (Matt. 7:24-27) and about 60 from the Law of Israel (Matt. 5:17-20).
These podcast episodes are example oriented, with experiences of the author as well as from church history.

In time some of these will be shared, and in some cases by interviews with those who have a real story to tell.

THE TOOLS OF AN INTERCESSOR comes from a career long journey by the author.
The message of all Christians is one of God's love for all humanity; however, there is a time limit. The gravity of the final judgment is far more of a threat than has been supposed by much of the church, never mind the unbelieving world.
The call of God with a specific mandate is an undertaking which must receive the strength of one’s livelihood in a very short number of years on earth. This book is to provide a point of reference for a response to the call of God, and to offer hope and courage if you have experienced this.
THE STATUTES OF THE KINGDOM is about generalizing at an appropriate level the substance of the Law of Israel. It is for application by its present audience of the followers of Jesus Christ.
The government of ancient Israel is long gone, together with its procedures and requirements for the Jews of the time. However, the Divine intent was an example oriented illustration of how the kingdom of God works, relevant for all of God's people for all time and all venues.
The Lord expects real respect for the principles illustrated by the Old Covenant, taking into account its finest points (Matt. 5:17-20); and at the judgment will consider the example set by assemblies and by individuals.
DOES FAITH ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING? is an examination of the book of Psalms, which is a collection of songs about the dealings of the God of Israel among his people and in the earth.
The demonstrated magic of the kingdom of God is to searched out by his people. There is a process for finding visibility into the dealings of the Most High, which will be characterized by testing and hard earned rewards.

THE CONCERNS OF THE MOST HIGH speaks to a world which is full of itself to the brim, and to a church which is not on the alert as it should be.

THE KINGDOM OF GOD UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT is for assemblies of Christians which have been entrusted with the formidable and urgent task of managing the kingdom of God.

This book seeks to characterize the mandate and business of the assemblies as expressed by the first century apostles of Jesus Christ.
