Bible Commentary

Losing a pet is an experience that leaves a gaping hole in our hearts. I find that just talking about a rainbow bridge doesn't really help. It is a beautiful thought, but I am a Bible-believing Christian, so that led me to look up all references to rainbow in the Bible. Although there is no mention of a "rainbow bridge," what I found was that the rainbow covenant God made with Noah wasn't just to mankind but to every living creature that was with him! It was a covenant between God and all of his creation! God made an eternal, binding promise to animals!

Jude Commentary is about the Bible book of Jude, with simple and easy to understand explanations.

In the spring of 2020, Christians in North Carolina began to pray for a spiritual awakening. It began in Marble, NC, with a 95-year-old preacher named Fred Lunsford, who felt God extended his days to pray for America. He traveled two miles daily to pray in his wife’s prayer garden at the bottom of Lighthouse Mountain. His faithful praying proves “the earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results” (James 5:16). What has happened since is nothing short of a miracle.

Rarely does a book come along that shakes the foundations of the church like Whole Bible Christianity by Bruce S. Bertram. Starting with the Garden and using almost 1,500 references from every book in the Bible, Bruce first shows that there is no church in the Bible. Then he identifies modern Pharisees and illustrates how they have led many churches to abandon the New Covenant, pursuing instead worldly ideas of self-seeking.

Is Joseph - the deserted son of Jacob from the Old Testament - relevant in our modern age? For Madeleine L'Engle, the answer is a resounding yes; not solely because Joseph is an important historical character, but primarily because his experiences of disenfranchisement, tragedy, and profound betrayal resonate within our own society. These thoughtful meditations on obedience, prophecy, forgiveness, and compassion are masterfully woven to bridge gaps of belief, politics, education, and even faith.

The Lord desires a people who will embrace their responsibilities. The history of Israel in the wilderness is a sad narrative of a people with hearts hardened by complaint and rebellion to God's ordained authorities. They were slaves, not an army. They would recognize the tyranny of Pharaoh but disregard the servant-leadership of Moses. God would judge the generation he led out of captivity, while training a new generation to conquer Canaan. The Book of Numbers reveals God's dealings with both generations.

This epistle is considered the sweetest of the epistles written by the apostle Paul. It is as though an essay sent by him to the church in all eras, and to every believer in all times, exhorting them to live perpetually exulting, despite any situation prevailing around them; through practicing the new life that knows no idleness, but is on an un-ceasing motion in Christ Jesus. The apostle wrote this epistle to a congregation with which he had a special relationship of love, that made them provide him with gifts to spend on the message of the gospel; whether concerning his necessary needs, ...

In Twisted Unto Destruction, Donald J. Johnson (Convinced, Unprotected) shows how ditching the Church in favor of private Bible interpretation has also enabled some of the modern world’s worst crimes and vices. Once an Evangelical Protestant who took sola scriptura for granted, Johnson came to realize that setting ourselves up as little Magisteriums—whose opinions on the Bible’s meaning have to be as valid as anyone else’s—not only leads to endless splintering, but makes it possible to use Scripture to justify anything.

This thoroughly enjoyable new commentary, The Pillar of the Truth, gives background for the three letters, brings out parallels between the Apostolic age and Israel's time in the wilderness, and, in step-by-step fashion, shows how the Apostle Paul was preparing the nascent Church for institutionalization.

These messages were preached consecutively as part of the study in the book of Deuteronomy at Immanuel Baptist Church in Tucumcari, New Mexico. Pastor Runyan brings his conversational, "street-level" style to bear on the last of the books of Moses, Deuteronomy. The second generation after the exodus from Egypt had come to the banks of the Jordan River, able to look across into the Promised Land. They had recently accomplished two stunning victories against the imposing armies of pagan kings. Deuteronomy is the last address of Moses to the people. He won't be making the journey with them, ...

This audiobook presentation on the biblical "Genesis Gap" study, also referred to as "The PreAdamic Creation", is presented in terms that can be understood by theologians and laypersons alike. It is a highly intriguing Bible subject - one of the most interesting contained within The Holy Scriptures. Why is the study important? Because it lends greatly to an understanding of what the evil spirits called "devils" are (the tempters of mankind) and where they came from.

I can think of no greater privilege than to bring to light the incredible works of a great American mystic, Neville Goddard, a prolific author, teacher, and a true man of God. Over his 40 years of teaching he left behind a legacy of printed material that rivals most metaphysical authors. It would be impossible to over-estimate the spiritual value of the teachings he left behind. He not only published 10 books, but he also left us over 300 printed lectures during his lifetime.
