In a society that encourages us to believe it's all about "me, me, me," it is a novel concept to discover it's really all about Christ. When we fail to recognize it's all about Him and begin to think that it is all about us, we are setting ourselves up for a great fall, shares Bishop Nate Holcomb in this thought-provoking new book It's All About Him: The Doctrine of Christ. How can the righteous prepare for battle? You can commit to learning Christ's doctrine and the six guiding principles. Don't miss this chance to obtain these spiritual life-saving lessons Accentuated by theological linguistic history and backed by scriptural documentation, It's All About Him relates that most Christians sadly cannot enunciate or enumerate the principles of the doctrine of Christ -- even if their lives depend on it. Ironically, the spiritual life of a Christian does, in fact, depend on these paramount teachings. This masterfully written book is an important weapon for every Christian's war chest. The Bible warns that nation will rise against nation. Bishop Nate Holcomb, however, says that does not mean country versus country but rather people raising up against one another. And who hasn't been witness to that personally or through media accounts? What can the righteous do to be ready for spiritual battle? It's All About Him relates that we can make the commitment to learn Christ's doctrine and six guiding principles. This book draws upon a vast array of specific scriptural passages from the Bible to accompany the reader through Christ's doctrine and guiding principles as derived from the Book of Hebrews in the New Testament. These principles include: repentance from dead works, faith toward God, the doctrine of baptisms, "laying on of hands," resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. It's All About Him shares the difference and importance of good works, wicked works, and dead works, divulges the seven types of baptisms (several of which may come as a surprise to many Believers), and instructs about the purpose and application for the laying on of hands. Each principle is explored by lingual origin, through scripture, then fully deciphered and applied for the reader. Bishop Holcomb's scriptural explanations and applicable analogies make otherwise complex concepts comprehensive to all levels. And he's not afraid to tell it like it is, offering an eye-opening history of the personage of the devil and the incumbent danger. Other concepts explored include: brokenness, speaking in tongues as an indicator of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and maturation beyond "milk-fed" Christianity. When Christ is built in people, He enables them to handle life's crises, Bishop Holcomb says. If the foundation is wrong, the building will lean or produce cracks in the walls. So it is with the Christian life and belief system. This remarkable book brings a message of truth to all Christians. Book jacket.
