This Epistle was written during a brief stay of three months at Corinth, during Paul’s third missionary journey. The time of writing this letter is thought to be around 58 AD. The book of Romans is considered the great dogmatic epistle, and in it Paul gives an exposition of the Gospel in a systematic way that is widely recognized as the outstanding source of Christian doctrine in the Bible. One of the great doctrines of this epistle is that of justification by faith. Justification indicates that a person is freed from the penalty of their sin through faith, and they are accepted by God as worthy of being saved. In this epistle Paul indicates that the only way this can happen is for the sinner to stand in the righteousness of Christ, and have his sin atoned for: then it is as if the sin had not been committed.
The Bible states that our Lord Jesus Christ was born of the seed of David. Our book concludes that a regenerated (without a sin nature) seed, bonds with an egg in Mary’s body, to begin a gestation period ending nine-months later in a stable in the town of Bethlehem. When the Holy Spirit came upon Mary, the power of the Most High brooded over her much as He did when He created our world: to bring about a process that led to the birth of our Lord and Savior. Thus, Jesus was born of His father David, and His mother Mary, who was a descendant of David through His son Nathan (see Luke 3:23-38). This book describes the genealogy leading up to the Lord’s birth from the beginning to the flood, from the flood to Abraham, from Isaac through Judah, from Pharez through David, and ultimately to the birth of Christ.
For Politics and for Survival in Tough Times… If you have been involved in politics for any length of time whatsoever, you have a vague understanding of what a precinct is and what a county is and that you live in one of each. The precinct is the basic building block of political organization. If you want to have an impact in your area on issues and candidates, you simply must get organized and be a part of a team effort to get information out and make sure the people know when it is important to vote – especially in surprise local special elections and all the ‘little’ bond elections.
The chapters in this book are about eight different subjects that seemed to me worth collecting into this volume: 1) believing or not believing what the Bible says about God; 2) Jesus taking our sins; 3) biblical forgiveness; 4) temptation(s), 5) the rapture/resurrection of God’s elect 6) when does God give the Holy Spirit, 7) strongholds, and 8) dead or alive. Although I (Jesse C. Jones) know that God has led me to write on many different subjects, and has given me guidance and insight in the writing, I do not know if others can, or will, accept this writing as truth from God’s Word. I have attempted to accurately interpret what the KJV of the Bible records on the subjects God has led me to, but in many cases what I have written differs from accepted Bible exposition. I hope that readers will be led to check everything I have written against God’s Holy Bible. If they do, this writing will certainly have achieved one of God’s purposes in putting me on this path. God has taught me much about Himself during this time, and that may be the purpose He had in convincing me to undertake this task: I have been greatly blessed by doing His will in this effort. The book is 171 pages.
Weighed in the Balances traces the path of a natural man becoming a spiritual man. 1 Corinthians 2:14-15 says, “But the natural man receiveth not the things of Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, for they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.” The book is 69 pages.
The wisdom of God is obviously beyond our comprehension, but with His book (the Bible), and guidance from the Holy Spirit, we may be able to grasp at least an inkling of His nature, as it relates to bringing some to eternal life. This is the task undertaken in this book. I can only pray that what is documented here accurately describes God’s purposes, thoughts, and understanding in this great mystery, so that some insight concerning these things can be conveyed to readers. This book is 86 pages.
I recently came across a prophecy by David Wilkerson having to do with the state of our nation, and its need for revival. He pointed out that we cannot have faith for revival unless we are convinced that God still wants to pour out His Spirit upon us. He makes his point here by comparing America to Judah, the Southern Kingdom of the Jews, after the Northern Kingdom of Israel had been conquered by Sargon, King of Assyria, in 722 B.C. “God had already divorced Israel, giving them . . . a certificate of divorce” (Jeremiah. 3:8). But now His attention was on Judah, a people who had cheated on Him and walked away from him. God still had a heart for Judah, and He came to them crying to see the certificate of divorce (see Isa. 50:1). He was saying, ‘Show Me your divorce papers! Prove to Me I ever put you away. It was you who walked away from Me! I did nothing to grieve or hurt you. I loved you the whole time. I came to you and I called to you!’ ” Editor's Note: This book was written before the overturn of Roe vs Wade in June 2022.

This book presents an analysis of the biblical scriptures that prophesy events that must come about just before and after Jesus Christ returns to earth in the clouds to gather His elect in what is referred to as the rapture/resurrection. His coming to earth occurs in two phases: 1) to gather those identified in the Bible as the elect given to Him by God the Father, and 2) to bring Satan’s rule as prince of this world to an end by defeating his hordes at the battle of Armageddon. It is the first phase of Christ’s coming that is the focus of this writing.
