Summary

The aim of this book was to debunk the notorious late 19th-century hoax of Leo Taxil. The latter was a French anti-clericalist, suddenly converted to Catholicism in 1885. In his new religion, he started his loud campaign against Freemasonry, which was even sanctioned by the pope. Taxil wrote a number of books in which he claimed that Freemasonry was a worldwide satanic conspiracy. In the presented here book, Waite systematically debunks Taxil, citing factual inaccuracies, plagiarism, and absurdities. Waite's language is witty, sarcastic, and utilizes extensive firsthand knowledge of Victorian mystical and masonic groups to demolish Taxil. A year after Waite's publication, Taxil summoned a press conference where he declared that his conversion to Catholicism was a fake and that he created his absurd texts to embarrass the Catholic church. He also confessed that his only motive for targeting the Freemasons was their rejection of his application to join them.

    Supernatural experiences can be powerfully moving, but they also can be diverse and complex. God desires to anoint all His people with His supernatural power so that we can encounter Him in deep and personal ways. To rightly walk in this power, we must understand both the opportunity and the responsibility that come with this invitation. 
     
     
     
    After experiencing numerous moves of the Spirit and seeing many tragic casualties in the church, Dr. James Goll has written Standing Strong in the Anointing to help us understand the biblical nature of the anointing, interpret the various ways of the Holy Spirit, and walk wisely as we experience divine encounters. You will learn how to cooperate with the Holy Spirit to increase the anointing in your life; unlock supernatural encounters; recognize the deception and temptations that can undermine the anointing; and safeguard your faith so you can finish strong. 
     
     
     
    The ultimate goal of any supernatural encounter is to reveal Jesus. He is our great reward, and He is also able to keep us from stumbling as we discern the traps and embrace all the blessings of supernatural encounters. We have been entrusted with the priceless power and presence of God. Let us endeavor to stand strong in that anointing so that we can bear lasting fruit—in our lives and for the growth of God's kingdom on earth.

    The Big Story - God's Epic Plan...

    For many years, I have wanted to write a book that focuses on the main theme in the Bible, which is the story of the whole redemptive plan of God in history that includes us. There are many awesome things in the Bible, and they are all related, either directly or indirectly, to that redemptive theme, but I wanted to strip it right down and focus on that central theme in a simple, yet powerful way that connected all of the main dots. My ultimate goal would be that when someone is finished reading this book they could say, “I know what the Bible is about. I know what God has done for me, and what His plan is for me.” And so, here it is." 
    ~Pastor Doug Bergsma 
    Join Pastor Doug as he addresses and answers tough questions that each of us have asked at some point. Questions like:If God knows everything, including the future and what would happen, why would He allow such terrible things to occur?Why did God have to give His only Son to die a cruel death? (Couldn’t He have fixed things some other way)?If Satan is the primary enemy of all that is good, why doesn’t God just lock him up?Where do I fit into the picture? What does the future hold for me? 
    These answers are not found through casual observation or in everyday events; they are part of The Big Story that truly explains it all.
