The book of Philemon is Paul’s letter to Philemon, a wealthy believer, seeking to reconcile him with Onesimus, his runaway slave. Onesimus previously was useless and most likely a thief; however, after hearing the gospel, he became tremendously useful, including becoming Paul’s assistant in Rome (Phm 1:11-13). Since Onesimus broke the law by running away from his master and could legally receive the death sentence, Paul wrote this touching letter to appeal to Philemon to take Onesimus back, not only as a slave but as a dear brother in the faith (Phm 1:16). The book ends with a cliff-...

Have you ever wondered how so many religious groups, even those who claim to be "bible-based," have so many interpretations of the Bible's meaning? They can't all be right, so what to do? One course is to give up and consider the Bible too confusing or contradictory. Another would be to let the church you like tell you what the Scriptures mean without question and assume all the others must be wrong. However, if you would much rather find out how to properly interpret the Bible, with the help of independent and objective scholarship, this book is for you!

Studies in the book of Colossians (Pauline Epistles Series Book One) is one of “a verse by verse analytical study series" and is written to combat errors in the Church and show that believers have everything they need in Christ. …Be heavenly minded…think on things above… However we should not be so heavenly minded that we are of no earthly use nor so earthly minded that we miss our heavenly goal. Studies in the book of Colossians is a book of connections, a book of an embattled Church, a book of timeless truth. A book that presents Christ as the head, power source, the redeemer, the...

What reasonable evidence exists that the Bible is true? Many people, even in intellectual and academic circles, believe that because the Bible is a "religious" book, it can't withstand scientific or critical analysis. In this brief yet comprehensive guide, you can find answers to compelling questions such as: How do we know that the Bible is accurate?

Quienes estudian la Biblia a menudo la encuentran difícil de aprehender y comprender cabalmente. Sin embargo, nosotros sabemos que la Biblia realmente tiene un solo Autor, Dios mismo; es la Palabra de Dios. Por tanto, si tenemos revelación por parte del Espíritu Santo, veremos que los temas hallados en la Biblia se presentan en líneas consistentes de principio a fin.

Disclaimer: Previously published by the author under the title of Understanding Genesis 1-11, From Adam to Abraham The narrative of humanity begins with creation—an expression of divine purpose, beauty, and intent. From the origin of life to human history, we see a consistent theme of relationship, promise, and redemption. This progression from creation to covenant transcends mere historical or theological accounts; it embodies God’s engagement with His people. Dr. Andrew Koh explores a major biblical theme, connecting the creation of the world to the sacred promises that shape our ...

Rather than contain vague references to the words and actions of "the LORD" and "God" within the text, The First Seventy offers both seasoned readers/listeners of the Bible and those new to the text a spiritual explanation that can be discussed, debated, and incorporated into each individual's moment-to-moment life. Weaving direct quotations from the Bible into a fluid narrative, The First Seventy: A Retelling Commentary, Creation - The Ten Commandments retells and explains the interconnected story that spans the first seventy chapters of the Bible.

There is perhaps no greater proof of man's innate sinfulness and hostility toward God than the staggering immorality of our culture. Most people, even many Christians, have either a distorted or a non-existent understanding of how God views his or her body, the primary focus of this book. As result, they are vulnerable to the deceptions and threats of the sexual revolutionaries. By examining and obeying God's perspective, we are equipped to navigate a culture saturated with sexual perversion and prurience, and we learn how to walk on a godly path of blessing and joy.

What happens at the end of our lives and of the course of history? Will God bring about a just and peaceful world? What lies beyond this realm, and what can we know of the beings who dwell there? In Death, the End of History, and Beyond, Greg Carey offers resources for understanding multiple, even conflicting, ways that the Bible imagines these ultimate realities.

Historicism is the method of interpretation that actually developed out of the Protestant Reformation, which is the reason why, to quote one critic, the “view was so widely held, that for a long time it was called the Protestant view”. That alone should pique interest to a deeper study of the view.

Dr. Andrew C.S. Koh's book, General Epistles, is a must-read for Christians of all maturity levels. This 3-in-1 guide of 1 Peter, 2 Peter, and James provides a comprehensive Bible study and devotional guide to help readers grow in the knowledge of the grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Philemon is one of the shortest books of the New Testament. This small letter is one of the Prison Epistles, written by the Apostle Paul at about the same time as Ephesians and Colossians and may have been carried back to Philemon by the same person and at the same time as Colossians and Ephesians. It is also considered to be one of the purest. This study will take us through the Book of Philemon with a magnifying glass; sometimes a microscope, as we discover practical insights into Christian and especially pastoral ethics.

Today, we are witnessing the historically powerful American Order experiencing perhaps its greatest peril as it struggles against the tidal wave of new challenges from Covid-19, the rapid rise of Christian Nationalism, large-scale Apostasy, and an increasingly divided nation streaming toward increased violence and possibly even Civil War. Dr. Kelly takes on these growing trends by examining Scripture by Scripture, the Sixth Chapter of the Book of Revelation as a Template to help explain the reasons for the current Crisis, and where America is likely headed.

In this illuminating and inspiring work, Koh explores the story of Philemon, Onesimus, and the Apostle Paul, showing its relevance to both the first-century context and modern life. Koh highlights the importance of forgiveness, grace, and the gospel's power to break down dividing barriers, using careful ...

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.

This book is a sequel to the book "The Bible Promises of Healing, 16 Letters for Mom." God's promises and His will for our healing are so extensive that it is hard to capture in one book all of the places in Scripture where He shares them. This volume and the first are great gifts for anyone searching for Scriptures and Bible promises related to healing, especially if they are trying to overcome illness.
