Out Of Action ‘katargeo’, a very useful word which has been translated in several different ways: – abolish, destroy, nullify, release.
Bedrock ‘petra’, ‘petros’ and the difference between bedrock and a boulder! ‘On this rock’, said Jesus, ‘I will build my Church’.
Children Several different words describing believers as ‘children’ in the New Testament : ‘pais’, ‘paidion’, ‘nepios’, ‘teknon’, ‘teknion’. What do they all mean? What can we learn from them?
Manipulation ‘eritheia’ A word that turns up only seven times in the New Testament, but with sinister undertones and strong warnings. See also The Seeking of Control (short leaflet) and Witchcraft – Public Enemy Number One (a long talk, more than 1 Hour) both from Derek Prince. (Direct links + downloads if wanted)
Truth ‘aletheia’ Not just the absence of lies, not just some religious theory . . .
Folded ‘entulisso’ Thoughts on resurrection – but why ‘folded’? Read and find out!
Building The House This is a single chapter taken from Designed to Grow. What does ‘edify’ really mean? Jesus and Paul both used this word ‘oikodomeo’ – and several related words – all related to church growth.
