Study Bible Commentary

Are you looking for a congregational journey to break through barriers of race, gender, generation, and social class for the sake of the Gospel? Are you ready to build new relationships in your life and ministry? Are you seeking to grow an inclusive discipleship outreach? Are you praying for a spiritual journey that is deep and wide?

Sound interesting? The author thinks so too! Listen to The Shortest Books of the Bible and hear commentary on the 11 shortest books of the Bible: 1st Epistle of John, 2nd Epistle of John, Philemon, Jude, Obadiah, Haggai, Titus, 2nd Thessalonians, Nahum, Jonah, and Habakkuk.

The miracles of Jesus were valid. He was neither a trickster nor a slight-of-hand artist. Jesus meant exactly what he said and said exactly what he meant. He deliberately followed his teaching by providing physical evidence that he had access to a spiritual power which he used as consciously as you and I use any other laws of nature.

Vista, udito, tatto, gusto, olfatto. La fisicità della divinità deve essere presa alla lettera. Erri De Luca e Gennaro Matino vanno dritti alla sostanza della lingua sacra. Perché le scritture per parlarci devono adottare vie di comunicazione a noi familiari. Gli apostoli vedono Dio, lo toccano, sentono la sua voce, ne percepiscono il profumo, condividono il pane nell'ultima cena.

Over 300 of Neville Goddard's exceptional lectures are now available for the student of metaphysics and Bible study. 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, a 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.

The Pinnacle of Compassion presents 10 stories from the New Testament and how they zero in on the bottomless well of Christ’s compassion, setting the example of how we, too, can tap into our own wells to help heal a world that sometimes seems to be drowning in anguish and sorrow.

Psalm 100: A Primer in Praise Many people, including many who devoutly follow the paths of righteousness, seem to view serving God as some sort of tiresome enterprise. Necessary? Yes. Important? Yes. But, Joyful? Far from it. This attitude, though, is far from Biblical. Psalm 100 opens with "Make a Joyful Noise Unto the Lord." It continues to say we should "Serve the Lord with Gladness." That's hardly the severe image many in the church project to the world. A Joyful Noise takes Psalm 100 phrase by phrase to discover the joy in true religious practice. In this study we discover a joyful ...

The plague of one-dimensional thinking is responsible for more unnecessary divisions, more useless doctrinal arguments, and more dangerous discrediting of inspired scriptures among God’s people than any other factor. The cure is to start thinking two-dimensionally. In this treatise, Paul Kasch challenges believers to consider matters from God’s perspective – and by so doing, attempts to unite us under the core values of our faith, better equipping us for our service and daily struggles while sojourning in this hostile environment. We have enough tribulation without fighting each other...

Können Christen nach Erleuchtung streben? Ja! Da wir heute viel mehr wissen, als noch vor 50 Jahren, braucht niemand mehr den christlichen Glauben zu verlassen, um nach Befreiung seines Geistes zu streben. Die geheimen Lehren Jesu sind in der Gestalt des Thomasevangeliums nach 2000 Jahren zum ersten Mal für jeden Interessierten verfügbar. Dieses Evangelium wurde 1945 in in einer Höhle in der Nähe des Dorfes Nag Hamadi entdeckt.

The New Testament book of Jude is a brief yet powerful treatise on the perils of false teaching within the Christian church. Dr. Herndon, in this new passage by passage commentary, makes the argument that Biblical doctrines are like dominos - they stand or fall together as a body of beliefs. Dominos is the first in a new series of dynamic commentaries.

More and more, the world is becoming multi-ethnic and multi-religious. Wherever you live, you are coming in contact with people of other ethnic and religious backgrounds. We need to understand how to communicate with them. John wrote his gospel when he was living in Ephesus, a city with a multi-ethic and multi-religious society. People from all over the empire came to Ephesus because it was the political, social and economic center for this region.

The Daily Visits Series is a collection of devotions written over more than fifteen years. These brief studies, collected together, now form a simple commentary of specific portions of the Word of God. My prayer is that they may be helpful to the reader for Personal devotions Bible study or perhaps Sermon starter ideas.

Strongholds are anything that holds power over you. This should hopefully be Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, but often it is sin and darkness. Millions of people are living in misery today because Satan holds sway over them. This book will show you the way out of darkness and into the light. How to fight off your strongholds by uniting with or reuniting with the spirit of God.

Most Christians have never been challenged to grow up because the institutional church is a religion and not the family of God. Most of what is taught about the Bible is taught out of context and the false prophets are multiplying. When will we stop playing church and become the body of Christ that the Father ordained us to be? Who are you and why are you here? This book will challenge you to give up your religion for a true relationship with the God and Father of our Lord Jesus.

The book, Fifty Bible Devotionals, is a book described by its title. The author has been active for over 40 years in teaching and preaching from God's word. It has become his close companion over those years, as he daily takes the time around 5:00 AM to read and study its pages. Each one is built upon a passage of scripture that can be applied to our daily lives. They can also be used as the subject or topic for a bible study as well as the jumping-off point for sermons.

Over the years, I have observed the different trends that occur among people who are non-believers in God and also among those who are believers but who for some reason, have become angry with the God they have previously embraced. It has to do with tragedies they witness or experience in life. You can hear them making comments to the effect of: "How could God allow such tragedies and atrocities to occur in this world, when the Bible says he is a loving God?"

Billions of people across the world and across time have followed the words of this ancient book. Countless numbers have died defending it. Even today, in the 21st century heated debates are fought every day over the truth which lies within. Great thinkers and intellectuals have seen something of pure wisdom and truth in it and others simply see it as an historical document, written by people from a different time and place.

Sorrow is a familiar companion of every Christian. But for those who rest confidently in the good and perfect purposes of God, there exists an inexplicable, subjective awareness of God's all-sufficient grace - a tranquil peace impervious to circumstances that flows from the fountain of His covenantal love for those he has redeemed. The purpose of this little volume is to help believers develop a deeper understanding of this dynamic force of divine resources, one that transforms all believers at the moment of salvation and empowers them in every aspect of their life in Christ.

This is a collection of my LDS warning publications. Obviously these are the latter-days and that times are going to get tough, but there will come a severe testing that will be so bad that there will be a great division of the LDS Church. This book goes over all the issues, but includes ways out or ways to endure the upcoming danger. This book is not meant to scare members, instead it is meant to inform, so that members can prepare and be prepared like the five wise virgins from Jesus' parables.
