Iron sharpens iron, So one man sharpens another. – Proverbs 27:17
In abundance of counselors there is victory. – Proverbs 11:14

We are blessed to have available to us today the writings of many wonderful men of God who have come before us, true saints of the faith, some of whom also gave their lives as martyrs. More than ever in history, we have a wealth of information available to read and learn from and the freedom to openly read these materials.[1] The resources listed below are helpful and predominantly free of false teachings. However, great discernment must be used when reading, recommending, and using any non-inspired materials written by man.[2]

Some of the books are out of print and may be difficult to find, but I recommend that you try to find and read editions that were printed as close to the original author’s first date of publication as possible, as newer revisions offer an opportunity once again for editors and publishers to twist, distort, or even rewrite the original author’s content and introduce their own false doctrines and teachings. And lastly, before purchasing any book, look to see what other books that same author (or publisher) has published; doing so will help you understand if their books can be trusted to be in agreement with Scripture.

EACHDAY.ORG (CHURCH OF CHRIST)

EachDay.org was created to share the pure gospel message of Jesus Christ, which is the hope of eternal life realized in Christ through His death on the cross and subsequent resurrection to life, as it was “handed down once for all time” in Scripture, as “a voice of one crying in the wilderness” of modern, liberal, corrupt, apostate, lukewarm, dead, pretend “Christianity”: “make straight” the gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

THE PROMISE OF HOPE

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing. – 2 Tim. 4:7-8
