Read David’s inaugural song of thanksgiving at the Tabernacle of David again (1 Chronicles 16). That describes someone who “fears and loves to think about God” (Malachi 3:16-18).

It was ...

This book gives you God’s big picture, a short narrative that covers God’s purposes from Genesis through Revelation for the earth, for man, for Satan and his war with God, God’s plans for Jesus, and God’s conclusion culminating in his mighty wrath against his enemies. Of course, we have a big Genesis Surprise, because God is exposing the lies about the Copernicus/NASA Heliocentric model of the Universe. Christians are admitting to each other in private that they believe the Bible describes a flat earth, and this topic has become one of the top “secret” topics among Christians ...

Jesus quoted Hosea in saying, "I desire mercy and not sacrifice." The prophet Samuel similarly told King Saul, "To obey is better than sacrifice. In fact, an attentive read through the Old Testament will show that there are a lot of things better than sacrifice. What was the role of Old Testament sacrifices? How does that affect our understanding of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross? Pavao forces us to look at verses we gloss over because they contradict our understanding of the purpose of the Jewish sacrificial system. Have you ever considered that God once said: I didn’t speak to your ...

The modern Christian Church is in a state of serious decline. But this was prophesied all through the New Testament. The World Christian Encyclopedia estimates there are over 40,000 denominations worldwide. Even if the truth were only 10% of that number, this would be a ludicrous situation. Many of these denominations are relatively small and localized, but others are large and widely recognized. And that number does not include quasi-Christian movements like the Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses. But the reason there are so many denominations is because there are that many belief systems. ...

Many Christians are under the impression that God's grace and his favor are two different things - that while his grace may be a gift, his favor is something we must earn. This misunderstanding has led to destructive teachings about "prosperity" and blessings, and ultimately to lives that feel unfulfilled and inadequate. Pastor Greg Gilbert puts favor back in its rightful place, as God's gift through Jesus Christ. He shows how the favor that Jesus earned through his perfect life and sacrificial death becomes ours the moment we believe.

This second book (How They Wrote the Gospels Volume 2) fulfils the promise of the first volume “How They Wrote the Gospels”.

The source document in question was a history of the Jewish War probably written by Marcus Agrippa Jr and appropriated by his secretary, the man we call ...

In this thorough yet easy-to-understand study, Isaac Dargan demonstrates that Jesus Christ truly is the Word made flesh, through the examination of the Brazen Alter – the first of six items of furniture contained within ...

Kein anderes Buch hat die Weltgeschichte und die Kultur so geprägt wie die Bibel, die von sich behauptet, Gottes Wort und Wahrheit zu sein. Kann es sein, dass dieser enorme Einfluss der Bibel bloß auf menschlichem Irrtum beruht und das Buch der Bücher doch nichts weiter ist als eine Sammlung rein menschlicher Märchen und Mythen? Um das herauszufinden, muss die Bibel auf den Prüfstand gestellt und untersucht werden, ob sie ihrem absoluten Anspruch standhalten kann.
