Christianity does not deny the Holy Spirit's existence and most Christians would confess they believe in the Spirit, at least with their head and creed. But few "experience" him in their daily walk or have a biblical understanding of who he is, why he came and what his role is in the Christian life. The Holy Spirit is a living presence""a person""and as such must be experienced, not neglected, within the church and the individual believer. The crucial role of the Spirit in Paul's life, thinking and theology was always that of the personal presence of God. As a Christian, a believing follower of Christ, the Spirit is the empowering presence experienced in our lives as we await the perfect ending of the Kingdom of God.

It was God’s love for His creation that allowed Moses, Elijah, James, Peter, and John to unfold God’s plan for all mankind. These saints were sanctified and chosen to be witnesses to the transfiguration and deity of God’s only Son Jesus Christ. These witnesses were recognized and honored by God for their obedience and faithfulness. All of mankind has been richly blessed by these men of God, as they became servants of God in accomplishing many great miracles. These specific saints were allowed to see Jesus in all His glory as He was transformed from His earthly body to the holy splendor of His heavenly body. This experience was terrifying for the apostles and was seared into their very being. From that day forward God would use the apostles James, Peter, and John in unfolding God’s love and plan for all of mankind. First Kings 19:12 reads, “And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.” God spoke to Elijah and to the souls of men in a still small voice of love, grace, and mercy.

This book provides a detailed analysis of the Messiah's bloodline that reveals many important concepts related to the human condition of mankind. The analysis expands our understanding of the scope of God's love for all of mankind. The bloodline includes God's patriarchs, many godly kings, many women who were gentiles, and men who were evil. The Messiah's bloodline reflects a cross section of mankind and fulfills Old Testament prophecies. The bloodline is the introduction to God's only Son, Jesus, and his life, death, and resurrection. God loves and communes with his creation on a daily basis. The only possible way for God to continue his relationship with man beyond death was to send his only Son to act as an escape for the penalty of sin. At no time has the bloodline of the Messiah been more important than now. The worship of idols and the new paganism of today are very dangerous and extremely contagious to all of mankind. 1 Peter 2:9 reads, "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light."

God’s plan for mankind is as unique as each person that has lived on this earth. From the time of inception to the moment of death, God has orchestrated a plan for each person. God’s love for mankind is all inclusive and allows for man’s failures and achievements. We wait and act in complete humility and prayer looking and listening for his direction and will for our life. First Peter 5:6–7 reads, “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your cares upon him; for he careth for you.” The believer receives the glorious gift of the Holy Spirit when a decision is made and a confession of faith made. This is the same Holy Spirit that Peter received at Pentecost that empowered him to preach with such conviction that thousands were baptized and received the Holy Spirit into their being. Christianity is under attack from multiple directions today. The society of today no longer wants to recognize or obey any of God’s commands. Society of today is focused entirely on self and greed without love for one’s neighbor.

God gave man the breath of life, a soul and a spirit that allows the Holy Spirit to commune with man. Genesis 2:7 reads, “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living Soul.” Man was created with both a physical body and a spiritual body. The spiritual body lives forever and is composed of both a soul and a spirit. At the center of the soul is the spirit that lives forever for the purpose of worshiping, praising, and thanking him for the gift of eternal life through his Son, Jesus Christ. Luke 1:46–47 reads, “And Mary said, ‘My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior.’” Since the time Adam was created, God has been communicating with man in many different ways and through many different people and angels. Men and women have been given a physical body that is miraculous in many ways, but fragile and vulnerable to disease and sin. Our time here on earth is short and can end at any moment. We need to begin by listening to his messengers.

Our very existence on a planet that is lost in a universe that defies measurement is a miracle beyond our comprehension. We are guests on an extremely rare and beautiful planet that God has prepared for us to care for and enjoy. We need to realize the importance of this gift and praise and thank God for his love for us. We are his creation and we need to share his love with others. He loved us first. Isaiah 44:24 reads, "Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself." In the beginning it was God's breath that created man as a spiritual being. We have both a physical body and a spirit. We also have free will that allows us to make the decision to accept or reject the belief that Jesus (God's only Son) came to this earth to die for our sins that our spirits may live forever with God our Creator. It is God's grace, mercy, and love that allows miracles to take place today.

Today, the voices from the secular left are hard at work removing any trace of religion from government and the law. Meanwhile, secular historians have successfully limited Christianity’s contribution in history to the Crusades and Inquisitions; as if that is all Christians have to speak for. The real story is quite different, primarily that everything good in Western Civilization has its roots in the Christian religion. How Christianity Built Western Civilization is the epic tale of how our Christian forefathers stood up to history’s darkest forces, to forge a new way of life, grounded in the biblical worldview. Over the centuries it has become evident that Western Civilization has emerged as mankind’s greatest achievement. It is here where the greatest political and economic systems were born, and here that we see the concept of human rights emerge, along with the modern scientific process and the greatest discoveries. It is in the West that we find the most advanced educational institutions, along with the greatest charities, artistic masterpieces and architectural innovations. Is this a coincidence, or the deliberate result of our worldview? How Christianity Built Western Civilization answers this question with chapters on human rights, modern science, universal education, charity, art and architecture; focusing entirely on the revolutionary milestones and individuals that made these achievements possible. Each chapter unfolds chronologically, starting with the biblical foundation and moving through the work of the early and Medieval Church, arriving at modern times. The author builds a compelling case demonstrating how Western Civilization would be indistinguishable from India, China or Africa today, if not for the teachings of Christ and the Bible.
