Matthew 16:13-19: "When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?" So they said, "Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets." (You will notice that in giving this answer they are saying that everyone they had talked to said that He was someone from the past). He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living GOD." Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."Here we have a short passage in which Peter, as a representative or spokesperson for the other disciples, recognized under GOD's inspiration that Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of GOD. As soon as he said this, Jesus then says in response that He will build His church. It is as if having confessed this to Jesus, having come to the realization of who He was, then Jesus said; "Great, that's what I was looking for and now I can begin to build My church." Then He adds that the gates of Hades will not prevail against it, meaning that now that it has begun it will go on forever until its purpose is accomplished; but we know from secular history, and we can see bits and pieces of it within GOD's Word, that within a couple of generations the church Jesus founded had been corrupted both from within and without. However, Jesus' word stands true in that He did found that church and it will continue despite death, despite all the machinations of Satan the Devil, and it will continue and does continue to this day. By the beginning of the second century the church that appears under the name Christian is nothing like the one that turned the world upside down after that day of Pentecost in AD 31. Biblical scholar Jesse Lyman Hurlburt who said that when the curtain was raised on the second century, the church that appears as Christian is totally different from the one that Jesus founded. It certainly seemed that when the corruption set in on the church that it would collapse and die, but the few faithful children of GOD went underground for the most part. They fled to remote but still peaceful areas of the Roman Empire and even went beyond the empire where they could practice their faith without persecution. The church that was left behind by these faithful people became this corrupted church. This visible, corrupt church appropriated the name "Christian" and took on a form of righteousness that adhered in some ways to the teachings of Christ but as the decades rolled on it found itself unable to even uphold many of those. By the time you get to the fourth century and the time of Constantine and the great councils of that church, they had rejected a major portion of true Christianity, but they continued on as the visible church. This corruption in that visible church became especially evident during the late Middle Ages in the 14th and 15th centuries. Lately, I have been reading a book called A Distant Mirror: the Calamitous 14th Century by Barbara W. Tuckman, which I highly recommend. It is an excellent historical survey of the cultures, people, and events during the time of the Hundred Years War. The Hundred Years War was that great war between England and France that just dragged on and on because of the territorial ambitions of the kings of England. One of the major players in this century and in these wars was the Roman Catholic Church. That was the name of the successor of that visible Christian but corrupt church that came out of the second century.

The publication of the King James version of the Bible, translated between 1603 and 1611, coincided with an extraordinary flowering of English literature and is universally acknowledged as the greatest influence on English-language literature in history. Now, world-class literary writers introduce the book of the King James Bible in a series of beautifully designed, small-format volumes. The introducers' passionate, provocative, and personal engagements with the spirituality and the language of the text make the Bible come alive as a stunning work of literature and remind us of its overwhelming contemporary relevance.

From Matt 16:13-17 this book will explore the Rock that the church was built upon to position her to accomplish her end-time purpose in the earth. From these verses we can see clearly what the rock is. #1 The Church was built upon the Revelation of Jesus Christ - Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God. #2 The Church was built for battle - the gates of hell will not prevail against it. #3 The Church was built upon Prayer, to bind the kingdom of darkness, and to release heaven on earth - and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven... whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. To accomplish her mission the church must understand the person revealed in the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Only the church built upon this rock will be able to withstand the gates of Hell at the end of the age, to prepare the earth for the coming kingdom of God.

Today, it is not easy to find what a church is, which is a local New Testament church. Almost every church does claim to be a local New Testament church of Jesus Christ. A classic example is the Roman Catholic Church, which traces its origin back to Matthew 16:18. However, this is not true. The true church which had its beginnings in Matthew 16:18 has indelible marks that are exactly opposite to the characteristics of the Roman Catholic Church or any other churches for that matter. There are marks and types of what a church is, which positively identify a true New Testament church.

Straightforward answers about Roman Catholicism for a Protestant audience The Roman Catholic faith is one of the world's most widespread religious traditions, yet the unique aspects of Roman Catholicism elicit perennial questions from adherents and outsiders alike. Such questions tend to fall into three major categories: historical backgrounds, theological matters, and personal relationships. Using Catholic Church documents and the writings of Catholic scholars, Baptist systematic theologian Gregg R. Allison distills the teachings of Catholicism around forty common questions about Catholic foundations, beliefs, and practices. The accessible question-and-answer format guides readers to the areas of interest, including: Where do Roman Catholic and Protestant beliefs differ? What happens during a Roman Catholic Mass? How does Roman Catholicism understand the biblical teaching about Mary? Who are the saints and what is their role? How can my Roman Catholic loved ones and I talk about the gospel? 40 Questions About Roman Catholicism explores theology and practice, doctrine and liturgy, sacraments and Mariology, contributions and scandals, and many other things, clarifying both real and perceived differences and similarities with other Christian traditions.

Where is this church of power that we see in the Book of Acts? Where are the local bodies of believers that manifest the supernatural power of God today? Has the desire to preach the gospel and win souls all but disappeared from the local church? This intense and challenging book seeks to answer the simple question. “How did Jesus intend every local church to be built.” It will present the ten most basic principles in the building of every local church. After some 30 years of doing seminars on the ‘concept of build’ every church that received this teaching has admitted to applying less than two of these principles. As a result, many sitting in the church pews are just not saved. Further, there is a lack of discipleship to equip the saints to go forth and advance the kingdom of God. The hope of this book is to see a restoration of local churches. Churches that will turn from their traditions and man-made ways of growing a church to building a church that the Lord will take pleasure in and be glorified.

In THE CHURCH AWAKENING, Charles Swindoll discusses the challenges, struggles, and priorities of the church in the twenty-first century. He reveals the problems inherent in the entertainment-based postmodern church and shows how a return to biblical teaching will restore its strength and impact. Now being replaced by a feel-good message instead of what Christians need to know to stand strong in a world that's lost its way--Swindoll exposes the problems of--and solutions for--the postmodern evangelical church. Just as he opened readers' eyes with his bold statements in The Grace Awakening, now he offers a straightforward volume revealing how to reestablish a life-altering church with Christ as Lord and Master. Illuminating and empowering, THE CHURCH AWAKENING will ignite a revolution in the way Christians "do church" for years to come.
