How was the Bible written?—“Whence is it? From heaven, or of men?”—Had the writers of the Bible any special or peculiar help in doing their work?—Is there anything in the Bible which makes it unlike all other books, and therefore demands our respectful attention?—These are questions of vast importance. They are questions to which I wish to offer an answer in this volume. To speak plainly, the subject I propose to examine is that deep one, the inspiration of Scripture. I believe the Bible to have been written by inspira¬tion of God, and I want others to be of the same belief. ...

Now that the Time has come the words are being opened and Yehovah is revealing things about the Time of the End that have previously been closed.

THE great fact of the Old Testament is the fact of God. Amid all life's uncertainties He was to the devout Hebrew the supreme certainty, the great Person with whom one had always to reckon. His presence might be radiantly manifested in the material blessings of this life — in the grain, the wine, and the oil, in peace and prosperity, and other such things dear to the ancient Hebrew heart; or He might seem to stand afar off and hide His face. But always He was felt to be somewhere; happiness lay in being near Him, and His friendship was the most precious thing in the world. Thus nothing ...

Are the Old Testament's messianic-era prophecies fulfilled in the church? Yes! Are these same prophecies fulfilled in Israel? Yes! The church does not completely "replace" Israel. How can this be? Because Israel fulfills these prophecies literally, and the church fulfills them spiritually (figuratively). Throughout her long history, the church has generally assumed that these prophecies describe the final, immortal, blessed ("saved") state, and thus can only be spiritually fulfilled in the church.

Forty years as a 4th generation member of a conservative Presbyterian "church family" didn't count for much when this author's wife had an affair and he sought council from his church shepherds. Robinson tithed his time, his talents, and his money, and church young people ate at his table at least once a week, but when he and his teenaged daughter went to their pastor and board of elders for help, they were branded as despicable liars and turned away. Eventually, even after the truth came out, they were still shown the door.

BRILLIANTS ¬ Selected from the Writings of C. H. SPURGEON *** ¬ The truest lengthening of life is to live while we live, wasting no time, but using every hour for the highest ends. *** So sweet are the comforts of the Lord, that not only the saints themselves may sing of them, but even the heavens and the earth may take up the song. It Cakes something to make a mountain sing; and yet the prophet summons quite a choir of them. Lebanon, and Sirion, and the high hills of Bashan and Moab, he would set them all singing because of Jehovah's grace to His own Zion. May we not also make mountains ...

THE title of this tract is an Apostolic caution against false doctrine. It forms part of a warning which St. Paul addressed to Hebrew Christians. It is a caution just as much needed now as it was eighteen hundred years ago. Never, I think, was it so important for Christian ministers to cry aloud continually, “Be not carried about.” That old enemy of mankind, the devil, has no more subtle device for ruining souls than that of spreading false doctrine. “A murderer and a liar from the beginning,” he never ceases going to and fro in the earth, seeking whom he may devour. Outside the ...

Great leaders are constantly growing. If a leader is not continuously growing and learning, she/he will soon become irrelevant and no longer be fully equipped to lead. During my more than a decade of coaching leaders, I (Kay) have found an inordinate number of church leaders who lack self-awareness and, as a result, seem un-coachable. Leaders must be willing to be fully self-aware of who they are, who they aren’t, and be willing to continuously self-evaluate as they continuously grow and evolve as a person, a follower of Christ, and a leader. I have run across leaders who have come to the...

You probably know the story of St. Paul’s shipwreck. (Acts 28) You remember how the apostle and his companions were exceedingly tossed with a tempest for thirteen days. Neither sun nor stars in many days appeared. All hope that they should be saved was taken away. But do you recollect that when the fourteenth night was come, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country? They sounded and found it twenty fathoms. When they had gone a little further they sounded again and found it fifteen fathoms. Then fearing lest they should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four ...

Todd Wilson’s church was devoted to the gospel and had long aspired to be the kind of city on a hill Jesus talks about in the Sermon on the Mount. They wanted their hurting neighbors to see the light of Christ and be drawn to meet Jesus, and they found the answers they were looking for in Titus. In that often-overlooked book of the Bible, they discovered a call to be zealous for good works. Zealous for Good Works is an exposition of Titus with a particular focus on mobilizing the church towards acting in kindness and goodness toward her neighbors.

"Everything great in history has been built by people who dreamed of a bigger future. I loved reading Go Forth with Hearts on Fire. It is profound and practical. I hope the whole diocese gathers around Bishop Loverde to bring this bold vision to life." -- Matthew Kelly, founder of DynamicCatholic.com In Go Forth with Hearts on Fire, Bishop Paul S. Loverde challenges all of us to realize that we are meant to be evangelists, no matter what our state in life or profession may be. This compelling pastoral letter invites us to refocus our lives on Christ. In deepening our relationship with Him, ...

This book is for parents or carers, those with faith or no faith, to share with their children. This is the second book in the series. The first was about how Nathaniel's parents, Michelle and Jason, prayed for a son. That book ended with a celebration after Nathaniel was dedicated to God on his first visit to church. This book picks up the theme of the dedication and then journeys with the parents through Nathaniel's first year in church. It looks at how his parents manage the transition from a couple to a family with a young baby in church.

I think there is a resistance within me when it comes to giving God my all, even when I know that is the right thing to do. Since the error of my way is comfortable and familiar, even when God’s blessing is withheld, I want to pretend it is for reasons other than me. In order to break this same type of resistance by the nation Israel, God uses two men to speak to the nation on His behalf. They were the prophets Haggai and Zechariah. I wonder if these two prophets can’t light our own path back to where God wants us to be in life, to understand what He wants us to do here and now. If you ...
