    Be Fruitful and Multiply, God's First Blessing to Man. Most parents would agree, their children are a blessing. But once a husband and wife have multiplied, does God permit them to STOP being fruitful? Who has the authority to close a fruitful womb? Does God bless those who trust Him with the womb? Ron Wilson addresses these questions and other issues about reproduction in a non-condemning way, yet straight from the pages of the Bible using the example of Abraham and Sarah as the background. This message is sure to encourage those who leave control of the womb to God and challenge those who don't to ask if the Scripture speaks to this issue.

    Paul's charge to the men of Corinth remains for the men of the Church today: Be on alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.

This is a must-hear for all Christian men; ladies will appreciate it too. By Ron Wilson. Also available on one CD.

    When Love Demands We Lay Down Rights: As Christians we strive to love one another by giving our time, energy, a helping hand, a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, a word of encouragement, our money, etc. But agape love sometimes requires giving up our rights!

    Womens' Head Coverings, 1 Corinthians 11.2-16: One of the most heavily debated sections of the New Testament. Does Paul teach women should wear head-coverings? If yes, was he dealing with a cultural issue relevant only to the Corinthians? Should Christian women today wear a head-covering? Is the woman's long hair to be considered her head-covering?

    Life of Abraham and the Abrahamic Covenant: God's covenant to Abraham is one of the most fascinating studies in the Bible! It is the foundation of all prophecies of Jesus' first and second comings. Throughout the New Testament, Abraham is offered as the prime example of how God declares a person righteous on the basis of faith alone in the gospel of Jesus. Also, you will find an unmatched picture of God's promise of redemption through the gospel of His Son, and a clear understanding of the Son's promised Kingdom upon this earth. By Ron Wilson.
