Poignant meditations occasioned by a unique convergence of commemorative events. On Good Friday, April 14, 1995, Christians remembered the crucifixion of Jesus, Jews reenacted the Passover, and the world at large observed the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II and the Holocaust. That unusual juxtaposition formed the backdrop as Joel Marcus - a Jew by birth, a Christian by choice - took the pulpit at St. Mary's Cathedral in Glasgow, Scotland.

As was Christ, my brethren, when in this world, so are we also. Such, indeed, is our calling of God. As Jesus was “the true light which lights every man that comes into the world,” so He says to His disciples, “You are the light of the world.” How memorable are those words of our Lord—“As you, Father, have sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world!” And how weighty are those expressions of the apostle—“We pray you in Christ’s stead!”—“We then, as workers together with Him!” There is something more than an interesting parallel that I ...

The Bethany home is one of the most sacred spots in Palestine. There it was that Jesus found a shelter of love amid enmities and antagonisms. There his heart found rest after being wearied and hurt by the unbelief, criticism, and hypocrisy of the rulers. It is a joy to think of the comfort that he found in that sweet home, that there was one spot where he was sure of love, and where he knew that no hostile eye was upon him and no unfriendly ear was listening to catch him in his words. There were two sisters in that home. Both of them loved the Master, and both were dear to him. Each showed ...

Nada es imposible para Dios, el le puede ayudar ahora en este mismo instante de su vida, solo debe disponer un tiempo a solas con él, escucharlo y dejarse llevar de sus manos.

A descriptive commentary on the Seven Last Words spoken by Christ as he was dying on the cross.

Short Stories with an element of mystery and biblical spirituality. The setting for each of these speculative accounts is from the time of Adam's creation to Noah's flood. There is no attempt at presenting a totally historical account of events, only an effort to paint word pictures of what might have happened in the lives of a few folk from that time period. Some of the characters in the stories we know by name and others are fictitious, but all of the speculative accounts are well within the realm of reason. Each account is an attempt to illustrate a larger theme that, hopefully, will ...

El exceso de impiedad que ha derribado las riberas de la civilidad y la modestia comunes, al principio llevó mis pensamientos a estos temas siguientes. Los espíritus de los hombres están fermentados por el ateísmo, y sus vidas están manchadas por el libertinaje. No sé cómo llamarlos sino paganos bautizados. Estoy seguro de que las inundaciones del pecado han aumentado, hasta llegar a un diluvio. Hay una generación entre nosotros de la que puedo decir que milita contra la religión. Son tan excesivamente profanos que consideran que la Biblia es una fábula, y se burlarían de toda ...

This volume contains guided Christian meditations using Active Imagination to visit Biblical stories of Jesus and other "Spiritual Journeys" to encounter Jesus and receive inner healing. Christian meditation is a modern adaptation of the traditional method known as Lectio Divina. Dr. Schmitt studied under The Rev. Dr. Morton Kelsey where he learned this method of meditation and prayer. These meditations can be read by one person or read to a group. It might also be possible to record them and then listen to the playback. Dr. Schmitt hopes to publish an audio version of the book in the future.

Joseph Lumpkin's concise study of Deuteronomy, the fifth and final book of the Torah, offers a profound exploration of its role as a pivotal bridge between the wilderness narratives and the subsequent history of Israel in the Promised Land, detailed in Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings. The name "Deuteronomy," derived from the Greek "Deuteronomion," meaning "second law," aptly captures its purpose as a reiteration and expansion of earlier laws.

Freedom is the theme that resonates most profoundly within the human spirit surpassing even love, comfort, and sometimes life itself. The quest for freedom for ourselves, our communities, and our nations has been the clarion call for the world's greatest leaders, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, and Moses.

Joseph Lumpkin's compelling short study on the Book of Leviticus delves into the essential role shared laws and beliefs play in maintaining societal cohesion. Just as a nation thrives on a unified language, culture, and legal system, so too does a religion rely on a common set of beliefs. These elements are intertwined, with religion shaping culture, culture influencing religion, and language reflecting both. Leviticus serves as a foundational blueprint, ensuring religious, legal, moral, and cultural unity for a fledgling nation—a theocracy led by Moses.

What is life to the full? Our souls long for a life that is full and flourishing, but so often it feels beyond our reach. Blinded by false rewards and temporary relief, we look to sources that promise happiness and wholeness. We attempt to fill our lives with more, increasing our pace and capacity, but accumulation doesn’t ever seem to satisfy. We see the circumstantial evidence that others might have found this sort of life, but we cannot seem to experience it for ourselves.
