The practice of cursing remains a significant aspect of life in many African countries. This book addresses this practice with the seriousness it deserves, arguing that Christ is the ultimate curse remover.Dr. Elkanah K. Cheboi examines the meaning and implications of the Pauline statement in Galatians that "Christ became a curse for us." Drawing from biblical passages referencing judicial curses, and the widespread practice of cursing and blessing within the Ancient Near East and Greco-Roman world, he investigates how the crucified and cursed Christ provides the ultimate solution to the power and dominion of curses. Demonstrating the insufficiencies of curse remedies, both in the ancient world and the modern African context, this study offers christological insight into the implications of Christ's death not simply for human sin but also human curses. Dr. Cheboi specifically examines parallels between the New Testament context and Kenya's Marakwet culture, where curses are still deeply feared as life-threatening and generational.Offering powerful insight into aspects of contemporary African culture not always fully understood, this book integrates biblical scholarship with practical application and is an excellent resource for pastors, missionaries, and theologians alike.

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it." (Matthew 13:45-46)Volume 9A deep, inspiring, and often challenging study of the Lord Jesus Christ's miracles and parables.Men who were led by the hand or groped their way along the wall to reach Jesus were touched by his finger and went home without a guide, rejoicing that Jesus Christ had opened their eyes. Jesus is still able to perform such miracles. And, with the power of the Holy Spirit, his Word will be expounded and we'll watch for the signs to follow, expecting to see them at once. Why shouldn't those who read this be blessed with the light of heaven? This is my heart's inmost desire.I can't put fine words together. I've never studied speech. In fact, my heart loathes the very thought of intentionally speaking with fine words when souls are in danger of eternal punishment. No, I work to speak straight to your hearts and consciences, and if there is anyone with faith to receive, God will bless them with fresh revelation.- Charles H. SpurgeonIn this ninth volume, Charles H. Spurgeon expounds on the pearl of great price, the parable of the vineyard workers, the first and the last, the parable of the wedding feast, the parable of the talents, the parable of the sower, the blind leading the blind, the separating of the goats and the sheep, and he includes a message for nominal believers.List of ChaptersA Great Bargain (Matthew 13:45-46)Early and Late (Matthew 20:1, 3, 5-6)The First Last, and the Last First (Matthew 19:30)A Message to Nominal Followers of Religion (Matthew 21:28-32)Work for Jesus (Matthew 21:28)The Parable of the Wedding Feast (Matthew 22:2-4)Making Light of Christ (Matthew 22:5)The Wedding Was Furnished with Guests (Matthew 22:10)What Is the Wedding Garment?

The Atonement is R. W. Dale's exceptional commentary upon the pillar belief of Christianity: that Jesus died for the sins of humanity and was reconciled with His father, the Lord God.Originally, this Biblical study was delivered as a series of lectures to students and believers present at the Congregational Union Memorial Hall in England. R. W. Dale sought to share decades of accumulated study and wisdom to seekers of Christ, and clarify the circumstances and significance of the death of Jesus upon the cross. The treatment given by Dale is thoroughly meticulous and therefore lengthy; in total ten lectures are accompanied by annotations appended as endnotes to each, with further long notes present in the appendix.The Biblical scholarship of R. W. Dale is in full display in this work. Chapter by chapter and verse by verse, we are taken through words pertinent to the death of Jesus and the atonement. Analysis of the Gospels and the appraisal of the Apostle Paul are accompanied with a deeper reading of various Bible passages, plus the meditations of Saint Peter and other Christian figures. The very theology of Christianity is explained at length; Christ declared that His blood be shed for the remission of sins, this phrase alone proving a wellspring for devotion.

When you read chapter 18 in the book of Revelation, you can easily become curious as to what country this place called Babylon the Great could be referring to. Theologians of the past said it was the literal Babylon located in Iraq; however, upon a more current review of the clues woven within the verses, we find that the evidence points to America.In this amazing comparison of up-to-date facts between a city in Iraq and the United States, ample proof has been uncovered and presented that was not previously seen. The author, a theologian himself, has hammered out another interesting read.

The limitless dimensions of the love that Jesus has for His bride cannot even begin to be expressed in human language. And He longs for His bride to be all that He has created and called her to be in all Her glorious victory. He draws her with His increasing Presence, and the promise of even greater fruitfulness and manifestations of His Glory as the end of days approaches. The Ekklesia is not just called to win the lost. It has been raised up by God to transform nations from grassroots to Government. "One Net, Many Boats" is an in depth study of the potential of the end times Ekklesia. It contains blueprints for revival at personal, corporate, and national levels, and the role of the Ekklesia as a vehicle to enable this is examined in detail. 21st century paradigms such as apostolic centres, hubs and networks, as well as Kingdom worship and resource centres are explored; as are the relationships between the transformation of individuals, Ekklesias, spheres of society, and nations. It documents working examples of the concepts that are discussed. The book is filled with testimonies of Heavenly encounters and of meetings filled with miraculous fruit that spills over into the surrounding regions. This REVISED EDITION expands on the content of the original work, and also includes new testimonies from the field of the miraculous goodness of God.

The church in North America is at a crucial moment. Christian ministers and church members have noticed a tangible shift in the way many people within the church are addressing the hot topics of our day. Solid biblical concepts are being replaced by secular ideas, and scriptural words are being replaced by a more current societal vocabulary. Some are feeling more empowered to speak up, while others are shrinking back into silence, afraid to engage. What is the issue? Progressive Theology - a powerful combination of the prevailing worldly wisdom of our day and a low view of scripture. It is real, dangerous, and is spreading through churches today at an alarming rate.This book describes the elements involved in an unexamined progressive approach to scripture, and offers some sound advice to Christians who are concerned about how to lovingly engage our culture without compromising biblical truth.Daren Overstreet discusses the makeup of progressive theology, paying special attention to how it is influencing body life and doctrine within the church, using recent data and essays from people close to the different hot topics that are impacting today's church. It will be a good resource for leaders and members alike as they navigate out complex world.Daren currently serves as an evangelist in the Anchor Point Church in Tampa, Florida.

Have you ever wondered why there are so many churches and they all teach different things? All claim to strive to follow the Bible, but end up in very different places doctrinally. Can they all be right or are we seeing the results of Jesus's warnings in Scripture? Jesus said there would be false teachers who would appear as wolves in sheep's clothing (Mat. 7:15). 1 John 4:1 says "do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world." In this book, you will examine videos that were submitted by viewers to Aaron and Don as they seek to rightly divide The Scriptures (2 Tim. 2:15) and bring attention to doctrines that they believe to be false. Grab your Bibles and let's search the Scriptures together to see if these things are so (Acts 17:11).

In recent decades, the traditional definition of the original text of the New Testament (NT) has shifted from seeking one singular text to seeking a number of texts. Instead of one ""authorial"" text, now it is claimed that it could be one of several different texts based on their locations in the history of transmission: preauthorial, authorial, canonical, and postcanonical. These distinctions were first listed by Eldon Epp in his article ""The Multivalence of the Term 'Original Text' in New Testament Textual Criticism"" as ""predecessor,"" ""autographic,"" ""canonical,"" and ""interpretive"" text-forms. It is apparent that with such changing definitions of the original text of the NT, text-critics are ambivalent regarding reaching the traditional goal of NT textual criticism. Instead, attention is now given towards hypothesizing regarding the emergence of the variant readings. Furthermore, any attempt towards utilizing text-critical principles to reach the original text is looked upon as being out of date and pointless. All such shifting definitions of the original text and the ensuing claims have far-reaching consequences for biblical faith and praxis.In this work, three different scholars will present their methodologies for retrieving the original text of the NT. No matter how each of the presenters evaluates the text-critical evidence, it is obvious that they all believe in the inerrancy and retrievability of the NT text.

Have you ever wondered why the world is so broken? Where is God among the fragmented pieces of life? What are God's answers to ordinary people, who have been gathered from the broken world to become a redeemed grace-filled community?The Apostle Paul addressed this when writing to people living in First Century Ephesus who had gathered to worship and adore Jesus Christ their Savior and Messiah. This monumental letter is packed with theological and doctrinal truth that mends people at the core of their humanity. By His grace, Christ had saved each one of them and gathered them into a new community of faith.These grace-gathered ones are called to imitate the love and grace of their Heavenly Father to whom they now belong. As His children, they are to be growing in their understanding of their new life in Christ. In Christ, there is a depth of satisfying love that not only mends their hearts but also produces love for those around them who are still broken.Through the power of the Holy Spirit, this Grace Gathering carries forth the Good News of eternal life in and among the battered and broken. The new life that Christ gives is lived out at the core of life's relationships in the midst of life's deepest trials. God answers the question of suffering through the broken who have been recipients of such healing grace. They are not satisfied unless they are growing in and sharing the grace of Christ's redeeming love with others.As long as the world is broken, the Grace Gathering is relevant because of its hope-filled message of life in Christ. God calls all people to this new life in Christ to be a part of this grace-gathered community. Those who answer the call display Christ's grace, truth, and love to the broken world. The Grace Gathering is the very Body of Christ beaming His light into a dark and broken world.
