Description
The whole Bible is an expression of divine truth. Our understanding of that truth is not gained by the private interpretation of any one particular Scripture (2 Pet. 1:20), but rather through the guidance of the Holy Spirit in comparing Scripture with Scripture (1 Cor. 2:13). By reviewing the whole of Scripture, we are able to answer with a high degree of confidence such questions as: Does God have a future plan to bless the Jewish nation of Israel?...

In Moses' day the Israelites failed to obtain God's rest in Canaan because of disbelief (Heb. 4:4-6). Under Joshua's leadership, the Israelites did enter the land and after seven years of conquest obtained God's rest, but then failed to secure their inheritance in faith after receiving it. Consequently, the rest Jehovah had for them was never fully realized and, in time, was lost. The writer of Hebrews uses their failure as an exhortation, "Let us...

"The flesh" describes the natural man. God has no program to change the flesh. Rather He brings in something new: "and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit" (John 3:6). A new struggle is brought to our attention. It is no longer the new nature or the believer striving for mastery over sin in the body, it is the Holy Spirit striving against the old nature. The little boy coming home from school was beaten up by a big bully. He was on the bottom,...

The book of Ezekiel conveys God's jealous anger over Israel's idolatry, His righteous judgments to purify her of spiritual harlotry, and His future intentions of restoring the Jewish nation to Himself and fulfilling all His covenants to her. Ezekiel contrasts God's loyalty with Israel's infidelity as an adulterous wife. God has not abandoned His covenant people of old, He has an agenda for restoring them to a position of honor and blessing. Ezekiel's...

Many Christians have read the books of Jeremiah and Lamentations, but few (including myself, until recently) have made these a topic of thorough study. Some contend that the prophetic narrative of Jeremiah and its epilogue, Lamentations, have Jewish historical significance only and no application for the Church today. Others choose to merely, skim these texts because their "doom and gloom" format is distressing, they may glean little from these books...

The Christian community sits upon a vast resource of vintage exposition, exegetic and apologetic writings from a host of writers who have long since been ushered into the Lord's presence. Most of these books are out of print and some are difficult to obtain. In general, these writings sustain a devotional depth and a Christ-centered attraction that is void in much of today's Christian literature. The author has endeavored to include some of the best...

Numbers records the wilderness experience of God's covenant people, who are moving towards receiving the promises of God in Canaan, despite their failures and unbelief. It is a humbling story as far as man is concerned, but also a blessed and beautiful account of God's exhaustless patience and mercy, as He works to refine His people. Deuteronomy has more occurrences of the expression "the Lord our God" than any other book in the Bible. The frequency...

From Scripture, we will learn of God's holy anger, then commence upon the difficult task of aligning our selfish anger and unrighteous behavior with His righteousness. This task will require each of us to honestly evaluate our anger tendencies, to remove internal conditions that frequently induce angry feelings, and to learn techniques to manage our anger in a God-honoring way. If you mismanage anger, this book will guide you into better self-control....

Description
The twelve Minor Prophets chiefly addressed God's covenant people between the ninth and fifth centuries B.C. One striking feature of their prophecies is how often expressions of God's grace and affection are embedded within scathing denunciations of Jewish stubborn waywardness. Joel's prophetic indictment concisely summarizes God's overall plan to restore the Jewish nation, to judge the wicked, and to establish Messiah's kingdom in the future. Scripture...

Many believers today are wondering if the Church's present lethargic state is the final curtain call for the Church Age. Many of the great revivals of the last three centuries began when a few consecrated Christians desperate for God, disgusted by the spiritual darkness of their time, pleaded with the Lord to do the spectacular. In response to those prayers, a great work of grace invigorated the Church, and many believers were emboldened to proclaim...

Description
In Exodus, God's covenant people had been redeemed by the blood of the Passover lamb and delivered from both bondage and Egypt. The book of Leviticus then reveals two central truths concerning Jehovah's new beginning with His people: they were permitted to come near to worship Him through blood atonement and they must be a holy people, for their God is holy. The first Hebrew word of the Leviticus text is qara', which means "to call out", clearly introduces...

Description
This book deals with a much-neglected portion of God's Word which looks at the vitally important themes of headship and the glory of God. The author has not avoided issues and has included thorough research both from Church history and the original language of the New Testament. The section dealing with the objections to the head covering reveals the desperate attempts that have been made in recent times to avoid the clear implications of the 1 Corinthians...

The greatest benefits God has conferred on human life, fatherhood, motherhood, childhood, home, become the greatest curse if Jesus Christ is not the head. - Oswald Chambers Most of the Christian children's ministry today is aimed at raising "moral" children. The teaching of right and wrong is necessary, but this agenda will fall pitifully short of producing "spiritual" children. Children must develop morally, physically, spiritually, emotionally,...

As a man thinks, so is he. This is a fact we do well to heed. "For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace" (Rom. 8:6-9) In Mind Frames, the author shares six scriptural exercises to strengthen the mind's ability to focus Godward and then presents a dozen Christlike attitudes -mind frames- to guard our thoughts in challenging circumstances. These mind frames are used by the spirit to bring our thoughts into alignment...

The chapter "To Marry or Not?" offers guidance and encouragement to unmarried women, both those called to "singleness" and those "maids in waiting."

Have you wondered: "What happens when someone dies?" "Is there a spiritual realm of bliss and peace in the afterlife?" "Is there a place that wicked people will be judged?" "What will I be like after death?" "Will I recognize loved ones after I die?" please read on - life is too brief not to have such questions answered. We need not fear death, if we have properly prepared for eternity now. When it comes to the subject of afterlife, eternity is too...

It was refreshing and encouraging to read a book, that did not focus on man's needs or a "how to" method for success. Behold the Saviour focuses on the Lord Jesus: His Godhood, human goodness and glories as revealed in the multi-faceted presentation of Holy Scriptures. For when we behold Him in His glory we are "changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord" (2 Cor. 3:18). -Anonymous Pre-Publication Reviewer (to...

“Nexus” speaks of a connection, which links two or more things together. The Evil Nexus investigates seven ways that Christians can, often unwittingly, be unnaturally linked with the devil to accomplish his wicked agenda. Paul sharply rebuked believers in Galatia for their destructive conduct towards each other (Gal. 5:15). Regrettably, this onslaught continues to this day. The Christian community is the only army on earth, which regularly permits...
