  Forgiveness  (Download PDF)

The heart of forgiveness is “give”. It is true, both of the English word, as well as the Greek.  That fact suggests the nature of the concept. It is something God does for us, and we do for others as an act of grace, and not merit. As such, it has no eaning apart from the love…  (Continue)

  On Being Led By The Spirit  (Download PDF)

“If prayer is the most puzzling part of our relationship to Christ, guidance is probably the most problematical. How does one ever really know if one is in the will of God?

Books

  Olympus Bared

Olympus Bared is a novel dealing with the odyssey of the Marlin family. After the death of his father, Bret Marlin is lead by his cynical uncle, Winston Decker, on a search for a valid basis for living life. Ultimately disillusioned with the gods of both secular society and sacred society, Bret and Winston encounter Lance Kingman, "not another religious weirdo," but an agent of Christ, capable of answering the many serious, thought-provoking and difficult questions concerning God and faith.

David, the Man of the Heart  (Currently Not Available)

David, The Man of the Heart is a book of essays exploring the impact and implications of the character of King David as revealed through a study of key Psalms. This book is not a chronological biography, but rather an exploration of King David's life as a type of Christ as the Shepherd, the Soldier, the Sovereign, the Sinner, and the Singer. At the same time, the reader is introduced to valuable guidelines to a study of the Psalms.

  Baron

Baron - A Cynic's Guide to an Absurd World is a sort of sequel to "Olympus Bared," though it can be read independently. It is the story of Baron Bruner, a successful international lawyer with an existential philosophy of life and a cynical world-view that makes good sense to him and, for that matter, to many in the western world. Aboard a Concorde flight to Paris to rescue a wayward client, a mutual friend introduces Baron to fellow-attorney and former cynic, Winston Decker, and Winston, in turn, introduces him to Lance Kingman. Finally Baron must face plausible answers to his troubling questions.

  Bedrock - Finding a Foundation for Faith

Bedrock, Finding a Foundation for Faith is an essay which considers various philosophical views concerning the existence or non-existence of God. Ultimately, the author concludes that God is essentially unknowable without His participation in revealing Himself to mankind.

  Uncharted Voyage - Book I. Perceptions of Marriage Before the Fact.

The "Uncharted Voyage" of marriage was instituted by God in the book of Genesis. If entered into without God, marriage very often produces neither happiness nor fulfillment and usually multiplies problems rather than diminishing them. This book uses a question and answer format to explore essential questions about marriage. It was designed for engaged couples, but contains benefit for any who are contemplating engagement or who are trying to comprehend their own marriages.

"Reaching for the real" in the midst of a world filled with illusions, David Morsey examines our relation to God, to persons, to things. Come and explore the mountain with the wilderness shepherd. You will find as he that Jesus Christ will be a faithful companion in your own Arduous Odyssey.

Prophets Speak (The)  (Currently Not Available)

The Prophets Speak is a collection of essays that explores the whole issue of prophecy as a basic communication between God and His people. The author discusses how we can avoid excessive speculation and predictions about the future by determining what the Bible says, when considered through the eyes of history and contemporary world events. In order to properly interpret the prophetic statements of Scripture, we must understand the meaning of prophecy as including the past, present, and future aspects of God's revelation concerning His deliverance of mankind. If we focus on the predictive elements only, we will distort the ultimate meaning and purpose of God's Word. The specter of speculation has haunted the teaching of prophecy throughout the history of the Church. The author of these articles reminds the reader that "speculation in the name of revelation is the watchword of deception."

  Arduous Odyssey Series (The)

The struggles of The Arduous Odyssey of life are confronted in this book by David Morsey. It is written in an informal style and addresses the issues people face in their daily lives. Human relationships, circumstances, and God's intended meanings behind them help us learn to "reach for the real." Relating to others, to a spouse, to children, and especially to God, all are dealt with honestly and openly by the author with the heart of a shepherd. In the author's own words, shortly before he succumbed to cancer, he said, "Remember this, we were created by God with the opportunity to be responsive to His Spirit and apart from that, human beings do not make a lot of sense." This book speaks of finding peace with God in the Arduous Odyssey through which each of us must pass.
