A map almost ruined our honeymoon. It was our second day of marriage, and as we were driving up the Olympic Peninsula to Port Angeles, I found it difficult to read the map and drive at the same time. So I handed the map to my Debbie and asked her to tell me where to turn.As a new believer, I felt like Debbie: Someone hands you a Bible and expects you to know how to read it. Jesus had transformed me into a new creation, but I was a baby who did childish things and needed a parent to nurture me along and stimulate my spiritual development. I hope that in a way, I can be that for you as you read the lessons I learned in my pursuit to be a follower of Christ, such aslearning to effectively tell people how Jesus changed my life,becoming consistent in spending time alone with God,letting prayer be a vital part of my life,discovering what helps grow my faith,finding an easy way to study the Bible, andmastering sin in my life.I thank my heavenly Father and Lord Jesus for my journey because with each lesson, I have grown closer to Them. As that intimacy deepens, so does the longing to be with Them in heaven. My prayer is that this will happen to you as I share my journey with you.

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.

In the library of books we call The Bible, some things are strange.Did a donkey really speak?Did the sun really stand still at the command of a warrior-leader?Did the heat of a furnace really not touch three men thrown into it? Did a fish really swallow a man?Did a professional soldier really come to know Jesus as the Son of God? Did Jesus really walk through walls after his resurrection?Did Jesus really stand to see the first Christian martyr die?Did John really see Jesus ride on a white horse?These and many other strange people, events and teaching will b e examined and won't fail to challenge our thinking and our faith.This book aims to see if there is a challenge in a strange person, incident, teaching or statement in each of the 6 books of the Bible.As Jesus said to Jairus, the Jewish synagogue leader, ' Don't be afraid; just believe' (Mark 5:36). That is a challenge from Jesus.Really? Really!A possible way to use this book?Why not use it for daily devotion taking one of its vignettes, or small chapters, each day for 66 days and look ni faith to God to use it to speak ot you and bring you encouragement.

He will be called a coming Prophet, Priest, and King.New Testament - The second half of the Bible, called the New Testament, tells the story of Jesus' coming, His life, death, and resurrection, and explains how His sacrifice is good news for all who would believe.Inside this Bible Study Guide, you'll find:Chronological Order: That means that you will be reading each of the passages of Scripture as close to the order that they were written as we know. In order to read them in chronological order, you'll have to "jump around" in the Bible from time to time. Ultimately, this will help you keep the overarching story in order as you readOverview of 66 Books: As you encounter new books, from Genesis to Revelation, you will have an overview of the book to help you understand the big picture before you read all of the details.

Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you...I call with all my heart; answer me, O LORD... My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?These few excerpts from the Book of Psalms touch upon the essential fact that it is a book about relationship-having a real and meaningful connection with God. Far from dry and dreary religion, worship and prayer in the psalms is spirited and sincere. The psalms proclaim that all are invited to encounter God and to dialogue with him. That invitation comes down to us... and also led to this book being written.This book is for anyone who wants to get into the psalms. There are three parts: Into their World, Into their Message, Into our Lives.

Este libro contiene lo esencial que debe saber una persona que va a ser bautizada en la fe cristiana. No es necesario que cada capítulo se dé en una clase; es mejor que los capítulos se vean por completo, en varias clases, si es necesario.La primera clase que dé el pastor o el maestro de estas lecciones, debe ser para orientar, explicar el sistema de abreviaturas de la Biblia, que se encuentra en su Tabla de los libros.

La profecía ha sido un tema bíblico muy descuidado,a veces mal interpretado, muy espiritualizadoy, en cierto sentido, despreciado. Nadie puede negar,sin embargo, que gran parte del contenido bíblico esprofecía.Como quiera que sea, no podemos eliminar dela Biblia los libros que contienen profecías para eltiempo del fin, especialmente Daniel en el AntiguoTestamento y Apocalipsis en el Nuevo Testamento.Por supuesto, tampoco podemos poner a un ladolas profecías para el tiempo del fin que se hallan enIsaías, en los Salmos y en otras partes de ambosTestamentos.Los que pertenecemos a la Iglesia de Cristoqueremos saber cuál es el significado de Apocalipsisy Daniel. Si en la primera venida de Cristo secumplieron al pie de la letra muchas profecías, ¿secumplirán las demás? ¿A quién van dirigidas estasprofecías?Éste no es un tratado enjundioso sobre escatologíabíblica, sino unos estudios sencillos para los que seinician en el estudio de este tema. Están respaldadaspor el texto bíblico y por la enseñanza ortodoxa de laIglesia de Cristo a través de los siglos.Si con este libro tú creces en la práctica de la vidacristiana y en el entendimiento serio de la Palabra deDios, quedaré completamente satisfecho.Francisco Liévano

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.

Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned reader and believer of Scripture, this book will inform, and greatly surprise you. Are you a believer in The Messiah but do not keep the Torah (Law) of Moshe (Moses)? Are you a believer in the Messiah but still keep the Torah of Moshe? Perhaps you simply do not understand the New Covenant (Testament) Scriptures and just don't know what to think. Regardless of your stance, this book gets to the root of the age old debated question, "Are we under the Law or not?" Our Beloved Creator has hidden His Truth in plain sight within the pages of His Scriptures. What you think you know about the Besorah (Good News aka Gospel) will be greatly challenged and what you don't know will be pleasantly enriched. We are living in an age of the earth with prophecy unfolding like never before. It is critical that all true believers come to fully understand what it means to worship our Creator in Spirit and in Truth. That can only be done when we know what our Creator demands of us and what His will (not ours) is. This book is an amazing tool that highlights Scripture like you've never before read nor comprehended. It's past time we toss away the lies of religion based on the traditions of men and come to really know our Creator and His one and only Advocate He has so lovingly gifted us. If you are a sincere seeker of the Creator's Truth, this book, via Scripture Truths brought forth and the Power of the Creator's Spirit, will remove the scales from your eyes and send you on a spiritual journey unlike anything you can imagine. Our Creator's Truth is the only truth and He is waiting to reveal it to you. Also included is a must read power packed, inspiring bonus chapter that highlights why people should freely choose to serve the one true Creator.

Cuidadosamente investigado y cuidadosamente escrito, el Dr. Ahokas ha proporcionado a sus lectores una comprensión más profunda del significado y la importancia del nacimiento de Jesús como "'¡El Cordero de Dios que quita el pecado del mundo!" Les animo a leer "La historia de la Navidad... Como Siempre será contada" durante la temporada de adviento o en cualquier momento del año para ganar un mayor aprecio por el maravilloso regalo del Hijo de Dios.¿ - Evangelista Danny Ottoson Steve (Dr. Stephen Ahokas) ha puesto todo su corazón en este proyecto. Ha investigado incansablemente, buscado consejo pastoral y crítico, y ha creado incansablemente un estudio devocional único. Él efectivamente comunica algunos detalles a menudo pasados por alto que rodean el nacimiento de Cristo que deberían hacerte pensar sobre las circunstancias de Su nacimiento y dejarte caer de rodillas en adoración a Él como tu Salvador personal. Cada persona que toma unos minutos cada día durante la temporada de adviento para reflexionar sobre la historia de Navidad junto con Steve debe alejarse de un creyente más equipado en la verdadera historia de la Navidad.-Pastor Paul KlassenHace más de dos mil años las circunstancias que rodearon el nacimiento de Cristo pintaron un cuadro vívido -una señal- para el pueblo judío de que Jesús nació para ser el Salvador que moriría por el pueblo de Dios. Pero pocos entendieron la señal. Asimismo, por casi dos mil años los cristianos gentiles han estado diciendo, "¡Digno es el CORDERO que fue muerto . . ! ", sin siquiera darse cuenta del significado de lo que están diciendo. En consecuencia, el significado del nacimiento de Cristo y el tiempo de Navidad no son comúnmente entendidos por las masas. Este libro aclara todo para judíos y gentiles al explorar cómo y qué las circunstancias del nacimiento de Cristo hablaron al pueblo judío en el momento de Su nacimiento, y así, revelando a todos nosotros el significado más profundo de referirse a Jesús como el Cordero de Dios que quita el pecado del mundo.

Anthropology, the study of man. In a time where opinions seem to plague the church, concerning the Scriptures, we need to know the truth. The Bible is a very powerful and educational tool when used correctly. There is so much to be known about the Scriptures, but this information cannot be known through the flesh and/or man's knowledge.In this installment of The Revelation of Jesus Christ Which God Gave to Apostle C. A. Cowart we will explore several facets of the book that has seemingly caused so much confusion. We will gain an understanding of what is sin through a comprehensive study of several topics such as: What Is Man, the Doctrine of Predestination, Hell, and Life in Heaven. These among other topics will collectively help us understand the fullness of the thing that separates us from Christ, as explained by the Bible.It is our prayer that this series has served as a powerful Bible study curriculum, it is also our desire that this book will serve the same purpose. So, as you take your journey through this literary masterpiece, prepare your mind to encounter a wealth of Biblical knowledge.

This book is about the in's and out's of preaching. The book will help the younger preachers, pastors, as well as the seasoned veterans.

The story of Ruth has inspired millions of people worldwide. It is idyllic, riveting, and profoundly mesmerizing. The genius of the Bible writer is just breathtaking. It invites you to consider the unthinkable and will challenge your thinking and sense of morality to the core.For example, How do you judge someone who dresses as a prostitute and deceives her father-in-law to trick him into having a child with him? Where is the moral compass of someone who marries his niece to raise the name of a dead brother? Would you exchange your two daughters to be raped to save two male guests at your house?Do not discount anything because this story contains everything. It will invite you to consider the depth of human depravity and how God has to work through all that to save people. Come with me on the journey of a lifetime!

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.

The third Volume of The Dictionary of Classical Hebrew Revised, Zayin-Teth, arrives 27 years after the publication of the corresponding volume in the first edition (DCH) in 1996. Readers will find in the present volume some 32% more words (lemmas) than in the original 3rd volume, amounting to 40% more material, which consists of many thousands of additions and corrections, references to the multitude of Dead Sea Scrolls texts and inscriptions published since 1996, and a much expanded Bibliography.The nine volumes of DCHR were originally expected to be published at intervals of approximately one year, after the first volume in August 2018. There was, after the second volume, in 2019, a pause until now. From 2019 to 2022 David J.A. Clines, prior to his final illnesses and death:completed every necessary editorial task for the future volumes;oversaw the preparation of and collation of most materials;and provided the means by which the project Research Associate, David Stec, could bring the remaining volumes to completion between 2023 and 2028.David Clines wrote the Preface for this volume and David Stec completed all outstanding work including the final collation of the sets of synonyms.The Dictionary of Classical Hebrew Revised, when completed, will contain more than 6,420 Hebrew words not in BDB, and will refer to many newly published texts, including 540 Dead Sea Scrolls and 4,000 ancient Hebrew inscriptions. New features in DCHR include: a notation of 4,285 byforms (words with the same meaning and similar form) identified for the first time; 717 verbal nouns (nouns derived from a verb) with their own articles (not previously shown in Hebrew lexica), 345 denominative verbs (verbs derived from a noun), and the semantic field to which every word belongs (a totally new feature for Hebrew dictionaries).Data on synonyms have been greatly expanded, and loanwords from other languages included. Articles on personal names show (for the first time) all short forms, long forms, and alternative forms of each name, the Bibliography has been updated and expanded, and 35,000 emendations of biblical texts noted.Every occurrence of each word in Classical Hebrew is noted. All the subjects and objects of verbs are listed, and the verbs used with each noun, as well as all nouns used in a construct (genitive) relation with another noun. As with DCH, every Hebrew word in the revised Dictionary (except for the variant forms of a word, the byforms and the sections on synonyms) is followed immediately by an English translation, so that the Dictionary can be easily understood by a person with little or no Hebrew. Among the resources that have been reviewed for the present volume are: philological studies on Hebrew words, such as Aitken on blessing and cursing, Koller on tools, and Peters on cooking;handbooks on loanwords from other languages, such as Noonan on non-Semitic words, Mankowski on Akkadian and Muchiki on Egyptian loanwords;treatments of realia such as Borowski on agriculture and animals, Musselman on plants and Wiggins on weather;collections of inscriptions such as the second volume of Davies on Hebrew inscriptions, Lifschits and Vanderhooft on Yehud stamp impressions and Deutsch on Hebrew bullae and biblical period epigraphy.The Bibliography itself, with over 4,000 entries, an average of 30 items- merely on words beginning Zayin to Teth-for each of the last 120 years, testifies to the vitality of scholarship on the Classical Hebrew language.

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).

A parable is a story told to illustrate a truth that helps us understand things at a deeper level. Parables are earthly stories with heavenly meaning. Jesus relied heavily on storytelling to deliver His lessons.Over the course of this 10-week Bible study book, author and Bible teacher Kathy A. Weckwerth explores ten of her favorite parables to discover how Jesus taught others through His incredible art of storytelling. With each parable lesson, you'll find nuggets of truth and life lessons you can apply to your daily walk with Christ.

I have brought my Atheist Bear to church many times, but he never listens. He never asks to hear anything. But, the people in the church have asked to hear these things, so even though his picture is on the cover, it's their interest that is satisfied. These are all messages which were actually requested by people about things they wanted to know. There are things in here to interest every Christian and those who are interested in knowing about God's word. Among them, we'll talk about how to heal a broken heart, what to do when people turn against you, how to cope, how to resolve conflicts.

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.
