The Book of Job is the oldest book in the Bible, yet is also one of the greatest works of epic poetry in history.

Who was the man we know as Job? When and where did he live, and what was happening in the world at the time? What are some of the mysteries and little-known scientific curiosities that Job was familiar with that were only rediscovered within the last several centuries? And what of the Ice ...

You may ask the question from the title, "Why 38 Days of Christmas?" I am sure you thought it should be the 12 days of Christmas from the songs and stories that are told and sung during the Christmas Season, or my have thought that even with the addition of the Advent Season, we still would only have a month of Christmas, but in reality, not so. We must understand that Christmas really takes you out of one year and into the next, for you will find that in the Western tradition we celebrate Christmas at the end of the year, however in the Eastern traditions of the church, Christmas in at the...

The main reason that I wrote this book was to remember and celebrate becoming a Christian fifty years ago. I got saved on December 14th, 1967. That means that this year, 2017, will mark my fiftieth anniversary of having walked with the Lord. It has been a quick, but rewarding, journey for me. So in grateful appreciation for all that He has meant and continues to mean to me, this book has been written as my Christmas present to the Lord. I am truly grateful that Jesus died on the cross to pay my sin debt. I am truly grateful that He has made His great salvation free to anyone who will come ...

B. die "Neuen Atheisten" um Richard Dawkins sind sich wenigstens darin einig, dass beides gleichzeitig nicht geht. Und viele Menschen, die sich vom christlichen Glauben angezogen fühlen, fragen sich daher: "Wie soll ich der Bibel glauben, wenn das bedeutet, dass ich die Wissenschaft ablehnen muss?" Aber ist das wirklich so? Muss man sich wirklich zwischen Wissenschaft und Religion entscheiden? Timothy Keller möchte sowohl glaubenden wie auch auch suchenden Menschen helfen, Wissenschaft und Glauben in Einklang zu bringen.

This book clears up the misunderstandings by examining how and what the circumstances of Christ's birth spoke to His people at the time of His birth.

Er wurde vom Herrn angewiesen, eine Arche zu bauen, in der er, seine Familie und eine große Anzahl von Vögeln und von Landtieren hineinbringen sollte, damit sie nicht von der Flut ertränkt würden. Gottes Entscheidung, eine Sintflut über die Erde zu bringen, wurde durch die Realität des Bösen, das er von den Menschen ausgeübt sah, tief beeinflusst. Das Lied von Chey, "The Book of Life" am Ende der Predigt gibt den Zuhörern die Möglichkeit, über die Predigt nachzudenken.

George Santayana once said those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. I will take it one step further and declare those who don’t learn from the ancient writings are doomed. Back in ancient times, the emperor of eternity spoke to man. He gave humankind his rules and prescriptions, and he appointed priests to administer his government. The priests became lackadaisical, so he sent forth prophets to return them to the prescribed ways. This also failed, so he established a local king to rule them rightly. Such is the story of the Kingdom of Eretz. By means of analyzing ...
