The fact remains people tend to resist difficult subjects, and one of the most neglected and challenging topics of the Christian life is ‘Spiritual Warfare’. Christians today take the rosy and naïve view of the Christian life epitomized by some Christian postcards: adorable baby chickens pictured on the front and John chapter three verse sixteen printed on the back. These believers imagine a life with Christ without serious difficulty or temptation. This is a wrong impression of the Christian walk that ignores the reality of spiritual conflict. Yes, charming baby birds are part of the world God created, but so is the hawk, who is able to swoop down on little chicks and capture them as prey. You’re in a serious battle! The question is, are you awake? Are you alerted to the enemies you face? If you claim to know the Savior and you know nothing of this battle, you’re in serious trouble.

Most Christians go through the whole of their life seldom hearing about the ‘Minor Prophets.’ There is even a smaller number who have actually studied them.

The ‘Minor Prophets’ wrestle with things like; “What the people are to understand of the nature of God’s love,” and “What are we to make of the evil God allows in the world?” As well as, “How can a person identify hypocrisy within one’s own heart?” In this significant study, we will investigate the definition of a prophet, explore the historical framework in which the prophets operate, and probe a hermeneutical method for studying the 'Minor Prophets.'

The ‘Doctrines of Grace’ have in time past, been historically referred to as The Five Points of Calvinism. It has received over time some sever attacks and given a bad name. However, the question that one must raise is this, “Is it Biblical Doctrine?” In other words, can we go to the Scripture and make a case? The Doctrines of Grace are not easy truths, quickly grasped and immediately accepted. That is why they need to be studied over and over again, until one is convinced, by a proper handling of the Word of God that these are Biblical doctrines.
