When it comes to religion—and more specifically, Christianity—”God” is a divisive issue. Either you’re a believer who loves him, or an atheist (or other spiritual believer) who denounces his existence and hates him. Who is right? Which side got it correct? Is there even a right answer, or does that become a philosophical question of what “faith” truly is? In Dr. DuWayne A. Carlson’s new book Atheistic Christianity, the topic of “God” transcends conventional belief systems as the author encourages listeners to cultivate a different view.

The Word was made flesh and dwelt among men in the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He rose again on the third day, ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God. The Logos, resisted and rejected as reason, as general revelation, and as special (redemptive) revelation, comes once more to man and is crucified. He came to accomplish redemption and now rules to apply redemption. Jesus came as Messiah, full of grace and truth. It is by His life and death that this grace and truth come.

“Torah”, the Hebrew word for instruction or law, is the collective name for the first five Books of the Tanakh, or Jewish Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy.

This 21st century modernization of that text is called the Revised Geneva Translation. It is intended to make the Received Text as actionable as possible to a modern audience.

We are called to live a life obedient to God. But what does this look like? And how can we live in a way that's pleasing to Him? The answer is found in faith. Long considered the father of faith, Abraham sets the standard for what it means to be obedient. The book of Genesis holds the remarkable story of Abraham, a man who would give birth to a nation, and make the way for our Savior. Part of Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe's best-selling "BE" commentary series, Be Obedient has now been updated with study questions and a new introduction by Ken Baugh.

During His life and ministry, Christ assured the apostles that He would one day return for His people. But how should this future event affect our lives today? In Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians, he reveals that the promise of Christ’s return is more than a doctrine of our faith. It is a remarkable truth that can shape how we live, how we connect, and how we view ministry. Part of Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe’s best-selling “BE” commentary series, Be Ready has now been updated with study questions and a new introduction by Ken Baugh.

Much has been written about the life, ministry, and theology of the apostle Paul. But what about Paul specifically as a preacher?

The letters of the Apostle Paul are central witnesses to the Christian faith and to the earliest history of Christianity. And yet, when students, preachers, and others turn to Paul, they find many things "hard to understand" (2 Peter 3:16) in these ancient writings.

Steeped in up-to-date scholarship and a passion for the gospel Paul preached, Prothro draws listeners into Paul's life and letters in order to help them hear the Apostle's voice.

The book of Ecclesiastes is confusing to many believers, who see it as a debate between an untrustworthy nihilist and a genuinely wise man who trust in God instead of giving way to despair. However, Douglas Wilson takes issue with this interpretation, arguing that the author of Ecclesiastes is looking at the world with biblically informed vision. Because God is sovereign and will one day judge all men and restore the world, believers can work, rejoice, marry, eat, and worship God in hope.

For the majority of my fifty-seven years following Jesus, I have recorded my discoveries in a private spiritual journal. Over time, it grew into several notebooks that were eventually transferred to my computer. They contained various thoughts and insights that seemed important to my spiritual development. Some were pivotal, others less so, but I recorded them all, not knowing how God would use them in my life. All of the notes I recorded were meant for personal use, and as my way of showing God that I was paying attention.
