The greatest need in our Independent Fundamental Baptist Churches is to teach our new converts the art of winning other souls to Christ. We cannot claim to fulfil the Great Commission just by soul- winning. Jesus also commanded us to "teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you..."

This manual is a point-by-point method of mentoring a person into becoming a fruitful soul winner. The program outlined here has trained scores of new converts and new members on the "how to's" of soul winning at the First Baptist Church in Hammond, Indiana. Learn More

By Dr. Jack Schaap
The Savoiur’s willingness to journey to the Cross, willingly accept God’s judgment for mankind’s sin, and freely pay that price with His life bought freedom and forgiveness for every man. Dr. Jack Schaap explores the power of the cross in 12 chapters that address the Christian’s enduring relationship with the Cross of Jesus Christ. The victory of the Cross is available to every Christian who will likewise make his own journey to that Cross of Calvary—even as he labors under the burden of his own cross. The irony is that in carrying his cross, the Christian finds the freedom and fulfillment of the Cross.

Music has been with man since Creation. God wanted music to be an integral part of the Christian’s life. Both singing and the playing of instruments were a part of God’s Creation. God likes to hear the playing of instruments and the singing of voices. The Bible has much to say about music, including how to define the different Biblical themes of music; how the Bible ties music to one’s spirit, one’s thought life, and one’s emotional life; how the most prolific song writer in the Bible wrote 1,005 songs; how music is associated with wisdom; and how all music can be divided into the “song of the fool” or the “song of the wise.” This practical booklet is an effort to bring a little sanity to the body of believers about music and also to serve as a reminder of “this we believe” about music.

Some questions I am asked more than those on any other subject include the following
• “Pastor, exactly what does the Bible say about dress?”
• “Why do our church ladies wear dresses and skirts when it seems so many Christian ladies don’t?”
• “Are we good or weird or old-fashioned or out of date?”
• “Pastor, where in the Bible does it say that we have to dress in a certain way?”
• “What does the Bible say about women wearing pants?”
I believe each of these questions is valid and appropriate. Because I have been asked these questions and a myriad of others like them so often, I want to share an overview of what the Bible says about apparel starting in Genesis chapter 2.
