| **Am I Ready To Be Baptized? Call Num: J 265 BUT |
Butt, Kyle, Farber, John |
Peaceful House Publishing | 2006 | Baptism. | 0976214016 |
| The dream of every Christian parent is to one day see his or her child mature to the point of becoming a Christian. Training up a child in the way he should go certainly is no easy task. In fact, it ranks among the most difficult missions this side of eternity. One of the most challenging aspects of this job is knowing when your child is ready to take responsibility for his or her soul by being baptized and becoming a Christian. As a concerned parent, you probably have been over the scenarios in your mind a hundred times. You know that you do not want to turn your children away from God by denying them the opportunity to become a Christian when they are ready. You also know, however, that if the decision is made too early, when the child is not ready, that could potentially be just as detrimental. How old does a child need to be to be a candidate for baptism? When will your child be ready? In truth, every child is different. There is no magic age like 12 or 13 when a child suddenly graduates into maturity. For some it is sooner, for others it is later. And, just like there is no magic age, neither is there a mathematical formula you as the parent can apply to be sure that you make the right decision. You are, however, in the best position to know your child. This book, therefore, is written to help you ask your child some of the vital questions involved in becoming a Christian. There is no substitute for godly parents who are bringing their children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. This book, however, can be a valuable resource that can be used to open up dialog between the parent and child. Written and illustrated in a style that maturing children can understand and appreciate, this book forces its young readers to ask themselves some really tough questions. In the process, it supplies the reader with the crucial biblical knowledge needed to become a child of God. | |||||

| Answering Atheism : Defending The God Of The Bible Call Num: DVD 290.3 BUT |
Butt, Kyle | Apologetics Press | 2011 | Atheism. | 1600630391 |
| The modern atheistic community has initiated a ruthless attack against the God of the Bible. High profile atheists accuse God of being a brutal tyrant Who enforces His petty whims by acts of violence. These spokesmen for godlessness insist that the Bible writers condone immorality and approve of sexism and cruel human slavery. According to them, atheism offers a much better moral system than the Bible. Answering Atheism strips these groundless accusations of their misleading trappings, and lays bare the fact that God and His Word provide the only viable foundation upon which to build a moral system. Lesson Topics ? Moral Implications of Atheism (34 min.) ? Death of the Innocent (33 min.) ? The Bible and Slavery (39 min.) ? The Biblical View of Women (40 min.) ? Evil, Pain, and Suffering (24 min.) ? A Loving God and an Eternal Hell (25 min.) | |||||
| Behold! The Lamb Of God - DVD : Exploring the Historicity, Deity, and Personality of Christ Call Num: DVD 232 BUT |
Butt, Kyle, Lyons, Eric |
World Video Bible School, Apologetics Press | 2008 | Jesus Christ. | |
| First-century Christians were able and willing to give a reasonable defense for their belief in Christ as the Son of God. Are Christians in the twenty-first century able to do the same? What prophecies did Christ fulfill? What miracles did He work? How is it that centuries before the time of Christ, stories were rehearsed among pagans of ?crucified, resurrected, savior gods?? What makes Jesus different from everyone else in human history? Or, is He really all that different? Is the view of Christ presented in books like The Da Vinci Code accurate? The person of Jesus Christ is the most outstanding, positive manifestation of God?s care that our lost and sinful world has ever known. "Behold! The Lamb of God" presents a well-documented, persuasive case for the historicity, deity, and uniqueness of Jesus Christ. The viewer will be brought forcefully face-to-face with the compelling question: What do you think of Christ? | |||||
| Behold! The Word Of God : Exploring the Evidence for the Inspiration of the Bible. Call Num: 220 BUT |
Butt, Kyle | Apologetics Press | 2007 | Bible. -- Christian theology. -- Comparative religion. | 1600630022 |
| In a world of shifting values, uncertain standards, and rampant skepticism, the message of the Bible has remained unchanged for millennia. But the Bible has not been without its enemies. Can those who believe the Bible ably defend it against the incessant attacks of modern-day critics? Does the Bible contain prophecies that came true hundreds of years after they were spoken? How does the Bible's authenticity compare to that of our ancient books? Is there proof that the Bible is accurate? Can the Christian really provide evidence that the Bible is God's Word? What makes the Bible different from other books that claim to be inspired? Aside, perhaps, from proving the existence of God and the deity of Christ, nothing is more fundamental for a Christian to be able to prove than the divine inspiration of the Bible. The 66 books of the Bible are the most impressive, awe-inspiring works of literature ever penned. Behold! The Word of God presents a well-documented, persuasive case for the accuracy, authenticity, and inspiration of the Bible. The honest reader will be compelled to conclude that "all Scripture is given by the inspiration of God." | |||||
| Christian's Guide To Refuting Modern Atheism , A : An Expanded Study of the Butt/Barker Debate Call Num: 212 BUT |
Butt, Kyle | Apologetics Press, Inc. | 2010 | Apologetics and polemics. -- Atheism. -- Creation. -- Religious ethics. | 9781600630323 |
| Atheist Dan Barker, in his book Godless, said that 20 years ago there were only about six secular student organizations on university campuses across the country. Now, two decades later, he says there are hundreds of them. Unfortunately, in this instance, Dan is right about one thing: the atheistic community's numbers are on the rise in the U.S. due to its fervent evangelistic tactics among our nation's impressionable youth. Christians have been called to "always be ready to give a defense to anyone" who would challenge the existence of God and the Faith of His Son Jesus Christ. There is a God, and His Word is the only truth that can make people free. The skeptical attacks against God, the Bible, and Jesus Christ fail on every front. It is high time that Christians recognize the threat of modern atheism, and equip themselves to face it. | |||||

Butt, Kyle | Apologetics Press, Inc. | 2009 | Existence of God. -- God. | |
| Of all the important questions pertaining to human existence, none is more crucial than whether the God of the Bible exists. Atheist and theist meet in this historic confrontation.

Butt, Kyle | Peaceful House Publishing | 2009 | Christian life -- Growth -- Juvenile literature. -- Juvenile literature. | 9780976214052 |
| Watching your child be baptized into Christ is one of the most amazing things that a Christian parent can experience this side of eternity. Yet the wise mother or father understands that becoming a Christian is the beginning of a maturing child's Christian journey, certainly not the end. Each new babe in Christ needs nurturing and continued teaching from God's Word. New Christians need to be impressed with their new responsibilities, blessings, and promised rewards. They need to be equipped with the proper spiritual tools to deal with temptation, and to know how to handle it when they do occasionally sin. It is often the case that parents of new Christians wonder where to start. What aspects of the Christian life need to be addressed first? What Bible stories, facts, and principles will help a young Christian get moving in the proper direction? This book was written to answer some of those very important questions. It is designed to show new Christians God's will about how they should worship, relate to their peers and their parents, and live godly lives. When a young person becomes a Christian, those close to him or her often wonder how they can help the new convert mature in Christ. By putting the babe in Christ in contact with the teachings in this book, a caring family member can help the new Christian respond to the question, "I'm a Christian, What's Next?" | |||||

| That Their Souls Might Be Saved : Revisiting The Neglected Command Of Church Discipline Call Num: 262.9 BUT |
Butt, Kyle | Peaceful House Publishing | 2008 | Discipline, Church. | 9780976214038 |
| It is the sad truth that an individual could have been sitting in the pews of many congregations of the Lord's Church every Sunday for the past 20 years and have never seen a person publicly withdrawn from. Congregations that have been so faithful in other areas of their corporate life have chosen to neglect the command to disfellowship. Christians in the Church know that such is the case. They have been sitting in those pews for the past several decades bearing silent witness to this fact. Many saw public withdrawal done in the days of their parents or in "years gone by," but are painfully aware of its absence in recent years. It is high time we revisited God's command to lovingly withdraw fellowship from those who refuse to repent in an effort to save their souls. | |||||

| Truth About Giving, The : God's Dare To Give Scripturally Call Num: 248.6 BUT |
Butt, Kyle, Farber, John |
Gospel Advocate Company | 2011-12-21 | Giving. | 9780892255900 |
| A 2009 survey conducted by the Department of Labor reported that the average American family spends 34.43 percent of their annual income on housing alone. The rest of their money will be spent on food, transportation, entertainment, health care, etc. Giving to God did not make the list. Although that may not surprise you, did you know that surveys among American Christians reveal similar results? And if God is not left out, He is left for last. In this book, Kyle Butt and John Farber shed light on the fact that it is time for Christians to make a change in how we give. In Malachi 3:10, God dares His people to give so He can pour out "such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it." Will you accept His challenge? The blessing is yours when you become a scriptural giver - one who gives what is right in the right way and for the right reasons. Let The Truth About Giving guide you through that process and into a right relationship with your money and your God. | |||||

| Waves Of Change : A Guidebook for Helping Young Christians Deal with Change in the Church Call Num: Y 230.66 BUT |
Butt, Kyle, Butt, Jr., Stan |
Apologetics Press | 2006 | Church -- Doctrine. -- New Testament Christianity. -- New Testament Christianity. | 9780976214007 |
| In a modern world that demands change in virtually every aspect of life, especially religion and worship, God's eternal plan for the Church refuses to budge. It is the same today as it was on the Day of Pentecost when 3,000 souls were added to the Church. And it will be the same 2,000 years from now, should the world last that long. Unfortunately, many of the young people in the Lord's Church are being influenced to "adjust" God's will to make it more acceptable to the ever-changing world in which they live. Satan is effectively drawing many of our youth away from the old Cross Road, into the broad way of "contemporary worship," less stringent qualifications for salvation, less reliance on the Bible, and more feeling-oriented decision making. Knowing that the youth of today comprise the church leaders of tomorrow, Satan delights in filling our young people's minds with dissatisfaction with God's eternal plan for the Church, worship, salvation, and morality. He perches on their spiritual shoulders and whispers, "You must change. You must fit in. You must keep pace with the world." Waves of Change is a book designed to combat Satan's cries for change. It is designed to help our youth critically analyze where such changes come from and where they will lead. It is a book intended to direct their minds in the fundamental truths of God's Word and equip them to deal with many of the sinful changes that are bombarding the Church, while at the same time offering a well-balanced approach that veers neither to the right nor the left. It is our hope and prayer that this book will help those who study it to avoid being tossed about with every wind of doctrine (Ephesians 4:14), and to effectively stand strong against the powerful waves of change. This book contains material that deals with such topics as the Holy Spirit, baptism, women's role in worship, instrumental music, lifting holy hands, and much more. | |||||

Knowing that the youth of today comprise the church leaders of tomorrow, Satan delights in filling our young people's minds with dissatisfaction with God's eternal plan for the Church, worship, salvation, and morality. He perches on their spiritual shoulders and whispers, "You must change. You must fit in. You must keep pace with the world." Waves of Change is a book designed to combat Satan's cries for change. It is designed to help our youth critically analyze where such changes come from and where they will lead. It is a book intended to direct their minds in the fundamental truths of God's Word and equip them to deal with many of the sinful changes that are bombarding the Church, while at the same time offering a well-balanced approach that veers neither to the right nor the left. It is our hope and prayer that this book will help those who study it to avoid being tossed about with every wind of doctrine (Ephesians 4:14), and to effectively stand strong against the powerful waves of change. This book contains material that deals with such topics as the Holy Spirit, baptism, women's role in worship, instrumental music, lifting holy hands, and much more. | |||||
