Spurgeon went on to preach at the New Park Street Chapel, later the Metropolitan Tabernacle, for 38 years. He was an important...

Everything starts with identity. Our identity affects what we see, value, believe, and act upon. And no identity is more fundamental than "we are children of God" (Romans 8:16). But what we often fail to understand is that our heavenly heritage is both a fact and a choice.
The challenges of the modern world make devoting our whole selves to following the Lord and His servants increasingly difficult. Too often we fail to examine the forces influencing...

You are not the first sheep to follow the Shepherd; and you will not be the last.
For 3,000 years, people of faith have found meaning and comfort in the 23rd Psalm. This widely known song has had an impact across time and culture. But in the twenty-first century, this psalm appears idle. For many, it only serves as a short reading at the end of funerals. How did this happen?
Most books about Psalm 23 focus only on the author's interpretation. Many...

The most famous story of Jesus retold
Prodigals digs deeply into each line from Jesus's famous parable about the prodigal son, inviting all readers―those down on their luck or high on their horse―to identify as prodigals. A prodigal is anyone who accepts they have a sinful human nature and turns toward the love of home, the place where we find a deeper relationship with God.
Rather than divide the world into prodigals and nonprodigals, Taylor...

As fewer Christians read the Bible daily, fewer understand what a marvelous revelation it is from God to man.

There is no other book like the Bible. God used at least forty human writers over more than 1,600 years to compost...

The Bible teaches spiritual truth in many different ways. Each chapter gives direct and simple teachings of the truth, unsurpassed in any other work.

The first book of Kings recounts the lives of the kings of Israel and Judea over a period of 400 years after the death of King David. His son, Solomon, features heavily in these chapters, first to show God's generous blessings to a faithful king and, later, as an example of the consequences of turning away from God. This book also details the split of the northern and southern tribes of Israel, and the subsequent appointment of the prophet Elijah...

The subject of the kingdom dominated Jesus' message from the first days of his ministry to the last. The book presents scriptural evidences to show that the kingdom of...

A biblical defense of egalitarianism that relies on Scripture to affirm gender equality in the church and in the home.
"Biblical womanhood" is the idea that the Bible teaches God-ordained male leadership and female submission in the home and subordination in the church. Some say this hierarchy of authority is sufficiently evidenced by examples of male leadership (and lack of female leadership) in the Bible: the first human was male, Israel's official...
