"For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward." (1 Timothy 5:18) And 1 Corinthians 9:8-14: "Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ. Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar ? Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel."

What IF???
by Bruce R. Booker  I am writing this to all those who call themselves "Christians" (followers of Christ). We all tend to think that the faith we now practice is one that follows the model set by the First Century believers in Jesus. This book explores the question of how the Church has incorporated pagan originated practices into itself over the centuries - something that God has prohibited His people from doing in His Word. Should God be pleased with us when we do what He forbids Israel from doing in His Word? Why should He speak loving and sweet words to us in our unbiblical practice when He sharply rebukes Israel for doing the same?
Yeshua said, "These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled." Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and He said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day, and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem (Luke 24:44-47)."
As proof of His credentials as Messiah, He fulfilled the TANAKH (Older Testament). He is the One of Whom the prophets spoke. He came to fulfill ALL the Feasts of the Lord (Moedim) found in Leviticus 23.
We have been told that as believers in Jesus that since Jesus "fulfilled" the Law as found in the "Old Testament" and "did away with the Law" that we don't have to keep it.
The purpose of this book is to share with believers in Jesus that we need to reconsider seriously what we have been taught and insure that what we have been taught by our pastors, professors, and fellow believers is indeed true and solidly in line with all of Scripture - or we may very well find ourselves in opposition to God!

Is Israel simply a person, or a people? If a people, who does it consist of?
For many centuries now, the Church has proclaimed that it has replaced the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and is now "spiritual Israel."
In this book, we examine the implications of that proclamation in the light of Scripture and history.
I think this is where we would find a difference of understanding in our expression to Him. Many of us who love God desire to become intimate with Him and to express our love without reservation to Him. That should be all of our desire.
From the Scriptures, we learn that God is a covenant-making God and He is the One who institutes the covenant we have with Him. He is the One who instituted the covenant of marriage in human institutions to give us an earthly touch of what it means to have a covenant with Him and He is the One who institutes the covenant we have with Him: which is likened to the marriage covenant!
How then is that marriage covenant we have with God to be walked out? That is the essence of this book.

A Call to Holiness
by Bruce R. Booker 
Publisher Comments This book is a clarion call for Christians to come back to God's standards of holiness, instead of what we define them to be. It challenges the believer to re-examine the things that they have been taught and encourages them to be a catalyst for change within their local churches. For centuries, the Church has wandered away from the truths of God's Word and by so doing, is missing the blessings that could be hers. Soon, the Messiah will return and will want her to be "made ready" for His coming. This means that she has to remove herself from the worldly, paganistic ways and return back to the holiness that once was hers.
Publisher Comments Does the Silence of the Apostolic Writings Regarding Torah Observance by non-Jewish Believers in Jesus Imply That the Torah Does NOT Apply to Them?
"The argument from silence (also called argumentum ex silentio in Latin) is generally a conclusion based on silence or lack of contrary evidence. In the field of classical studies, it often refers to the deduction from the lack of references to a subject in the available writings of an author to the conclusion that he was ignorant of it."
In this book I seek to answer the following question that seems to plague the Messianic Community today: "Does the Torah apply to non-Jewish believers in Yeshua/Jesus?"
We shall look at two examples of Christian Church practice that was evidently based upon Torah command, yet not commanded in the New Testament.
Many will say to Me on that day, `Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?'"And then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'
In that statement we discover the criteria of entry into the Kingdom. Do we, as the Body of Christ meet the criteria of entering His Kingdom?
