Most people believe that hell is the final state of the condemned following the final judgment. At the same time, many people cannot comprehend why God created hell for the unsaved. Respected church fathers held a variety of views dating back to the early centuries of the church. This book...

The book of Revelation is one of the most fascinating books in the Bible. It reveals a relationship between the Creator and his creation that extends from the beginning of days to the end of days. Would it surprise you, however, to learn that most of the book of Revelation was written in the present tense and the past tense, and very little of it, in comparison, was written in the future tense?

"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4) is one of the most familiar scriptures from the Bible today. Man shall not live by bread alone means that physical nourishment, worldly goods, and material possessions are not enough for a healthy life. We need spiritual nourishment as well. And that spiritual fulfillment is found in God's Son, Jesus!

Prodigals digs deeply into each line from Jesus's famous parable about the prodigal son, inviting all listeners—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 invites listeners to find themselves in the teaching of Jesus as either younger or elder siblings.

As the father of a son with special needs, I’ve long been drawn to Jesus’ encounter with a paralytic in Luke 5. When previously pondering this encounter, I always did so from Jesus’ perspective. Until recently, I never viewed this remarkable event from the perspective of the paralytic’s four friends. Approaching this encounter from that viewpoint gave rise to this new eight-chapter book.

Die Schätze des Himmels, von denen ich spreche, sind Nächstenliebe, sein Glück teilen und Gutes wirken, alles Dinge, die das Leben bedeutungsvoller und schöner machen! Was am Ende bei Gott zählt, zählt jetzt schon auf der Erde und schafft hier und heute ein Stück Himmel.

Ihr habt nun selbst erlebt, wie die einen hören, während die anderen sich verschließen. Wie die einen sich zum Licht ausstrecken, während die anderen sich in die Dunkelheit zurückziehen. Hört mich genau an. Ich bin nicht auf die Welt gekommen, um Frieden zu bringen. Nein, ich bringe das Schwert. Wie eine Klinge, die spaltet, bringe ich Trennung.

The world is a broken place marred by evil, and evil’s influence impacts us all. It is often difficult for people to grasp what God is like in a world such as ours. Jesus shows us the heart of God in a world of heartache. He is the most beautiful, compelling, tender person who has lived.

How can we persevere through persecution? First-century Christians wrestled with this question. They were often harassed, slandered, beaten, and ostracized for their faith. As they endured these difficult circumstances, we can imagine their joy upon receiving two encouraging letters from the Apostle Peter. No stranger to suffering, Peter likely penned these letters while in a Roman prison just before his martyrdom. In this volume, Dr. R.C. Sproul takes us through Peter’s epistles line by line.

The Exposition of the Gospel of John is a careful and thorough study of the Apostle John’s gospel. It was originally published in Arthur W. Pink’s monthly Studies in the Scriptures. Prior to writing it, Pink studied the gospel of John for ten years (consulting over forty commentaries), and preached through John three times in three different churches.

An accessible introduction to the historical and theological developments between the Old and New Testament. Bridging the end of the Old Testament period and the beginning of the New Testament period, this book surveys the history and theological developments of four significant eras in Israel's...

The contented heart is never out of heart. Contentment is a golden shield that beats back discouragement. True contentment will trust God even when it cannot see him. Why are you discontented? Is it because you are temporarily dispossessed of comforts? You who are discontented because you do not have all you would like to have, let me tell you, either your faith is a nonentity, or, at best, it is just an embryo. It is a weak faith that must have stilts and crutches to support it.

Some Christians think Paul's reference to "saved through childbearing" in 1 Timothy 2:15 means that women are slated primarily for delivering and raising children. Alternate readings, however, sometimes fail to build on the best historical and textual evidence. Sandra Glahn thinks that we have misunderstood Paul by misunderstanding the context to which he wrote. A key to reading and applying 1 Timothy, Glahn argues, lies in getting to know a mysterious figure who haunts the letter: the goddess Artemis.

As Christians, we often ask what the gospel is, when we should be asking why it is. Matthew W. Bates has previously demonstrated that the “good news” of the gospel is that Jesus is King. But in his latest book, he explores God’s intentions: why has God issued this royal proclamation? And what role can it play in our everyday lives? As Bates observes, we find the answer in a simple but challenging realization: “I am a horrible king of my own life."

Jesus, throughout his ministry, did both individual healings as well as healings of the multitudes, and after his crucifixion this same healing ministry was continued on by his disciples, letting us know that healing is still for today and can be performed by other men. As you listen through these healings, it is my prayer that your faith and expectancy will come alive and that you will be one step closer to receiving your divine healing.

This selection of Psalms from the American King James Version of the Bible is read softly and calmly with the aim of inducing slumber and sleep. I hope it works!

God is continually engaged in the lifelong process of teaching his children. Knowing how helpful and useful picture illustrations are in the learning process, he has provided us with hundreds of them. These pictures have been graciously provided not only to hold our interest as his Word is being taught, but, more importantly, to also simplify what might otherwise be a complex and complicated passage of Scripture.

Mary’s Journey describes the Blessed Virgin Mary, the mother of the Lord and his foremost disciple, as a model for following Jesus in our own time. The book begins by tracing her life journey of faith and discipleship in the New Testament. A second section describes the Church’s journey of faith with her in the four major Marian doctrines. Finally, the book links our journey of prayer with Mary by considering the principal Marian feast days and various devotions. The overall aim of the book is to draw us closer to the Blessed Virgin Mary and, through her, closer to her son, Jesus Christ.

What if we looked at all of life through the lens of the gospel? Imagine the good news of Jesus Christ as a pair of glasses. When you look through the gospel lens everything suddenly takes on a different color, contour, clarity, and consequently, a different meaning. The purpose of this book is to show you how to view all of life through the gospel, the very heart of Jesus.

This thoroughly enjoyable new commentary, The Pillar of the Truth, gives background for the three letters, brings out parallels between the Apostolic age and Israel's time in the wilderness, and, in step-by-step fashion, shows how the Apostle Paul was preparing the nascent Church for institutionalization.

Der eine sät, der andere erntet. Alle vor euch, die jedes Wort aus den Heiligen Schriften zusammengetragen haben, haben gesät. Und der Herr, der sein Wort und Licht zu den Menschen brachte, säte. Jeden Einzelnen, der meine Botschaft vernimmt, sende ich aus, dass ihr erntet, wo ihr nicht gearbeitet habt. Doch nimmt euch auch ein Beispiel an jenen, die vor euch waren, und sät weiter, auf dass der Hunger aller Seelen gesättigt werde.

Eitelkeit und Hochmut sprechen aus dir, nicht dein Glaube und Vertrauen in Gott. Nicht fürchtest du mich als Dämon, sondern durch mein Wunder in den Schatten gestellt zu werden. Du kennst keine Demut vor etwas Größerem und Mächtigerem als dir, du willst selbst an der Spitze stehen.

To be JourneyWise is to discover and live out the simple yet powerful truths of the Beatitudes. It is through the Beatitudes, which literally mean “blessings,” that Jesus gives us a new definition of significance before leading us to reflect on the deeper meaning of life, our relationship with God, and the interconnections we have with others. They speak to our friendships, actions, fears, prejudices, and joys. They are pragmatic, powerful lessons wrapped in simple words. In their simplicity and accuracy, the Beatitudes yield amazing results when practiced faithfully.

Will I have enough? Am I enough? Do I matter? Deep in our souls is an ache that longs to be noticed, filled, transformed. And that ache boils down to these three fundamental questions. The extraordinary thing is that we find the answers to all three questions in the temptations of Christ. As Jesus faces the wilderness, the core needs of every human being are on display: the ache to be secure, to be approved of, to have some control over our lives. But the ways that we are tempted to fill these needs inevitably fail.

We cannot know Jesus without knowing his story. Today the debate over who Jesus is rages on. Has the Bible bound Christians to a narrow and mistaken notion of Jesus? To answer these questions we need to know what story Jesus claimed for himself. Christopher Wright is convinced that Jesus's own story is rooted in the story of Israel. In this revised and updated book he traces the life of Christ as it is illuminated by the Old Testament. And he describes God's design for Israel as it is fulfilled in the story of Jesus.

In a time filled with challenges and a longing for something greater, the tale of Jesus shines like a bright light, showing us the way to love, kindness, and finding purpose. Get ready to be swept away by a story that begins with humble beginnings, filled with teachings that inspire, and ends with a sacrifice that changed everything.

This book studies the New Testament texts to determine what faith is all about. As a lay author, he inspects with the conviction that if a relationship with God is not accessible to all persons, then the idea of religion makes little sense. The chapters invite listeners to examine what they believe or determine the impact of no belief on their life’s direction. While the author discloses much of his views, it is not an attempt to convert any listener to believe as he does. Whether Christianity is true or not, there is no denying its impact on civilization.

Imagine what it would be like to welcome a stranger when the world seems so closed off and untrusting. What if that stranger turned out to be someone important—maybe even the most important person you could serve? Holy Stranger revisits the story of our very own Lord and Savior, who even in his womb was knocking on doors looking for someone to welcome him and his family. Not long after Jesus is born, his family must flee from Bethlehem to Egypt in order to avoid an evil king. In this way, Jesus and his family become strangers, or immigrants and refugees.

Two thousand years ago, a former construction worker wanders around the back streets of a third-rate country in the Roman Empire. For a couple of years, he preaches in obscure parables. He never writes anything down. He has a handful of close disciples—all of whom run away when he is arrested. He dies in ignominious agony, nailed to a cross as a criminal. That should be the end of that sad tale.

There was only one man who was so important that his birth caused our calendar to split in two (B.C./A.D). There was only one man who, despite being tempted, did not sin even once. There was only one man who died for your sins and mine, and by whom we can have eternal life. That man was Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

In the much-awaited follow-up to Cross-Examined: Putting Christianity on Trial, trial lawyer John W. Campbell demonstrates why Christians are fundamentally wrong about Jesus, the leader of the movement that developed into modern Christianity. Using the most up-to-date research and findings, Campbell shows, among other things, why Jesus was not the Jewish Messiah, why the true Jesus was replaced by Paul's Christ of faith, and why Jesus was not resurrected from the dead. Campbell explains who Jesus really was, what he believed, and why he would be so disappointed with modern Christianity.

It’s not a Bible verse: “Do your best,” but this truth is communicated in Scripture. Ecclesiastes 9:10 says, “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might,” and Colossians 3:23-24 says, “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” The Family Guide will help you do your best and learn what is the work of a Christian. Discover joy and purpose in all you do!

Mark doesn't waste words in his Gospel. His Jesus, the Jesus, is a man on a mission, determined, racing. Mark doesn't waste words, but his words pack a punch and his brief descriptions beg for deep reflection. Like a passenger in a car driving quickly, we can easily miss the details of the landscape if we don't pay careful attention. Mark sets us on a race, but it's important to stop along the way. A Path Strewn with Sinners sets us on Jesus' race to the cross, but it also insists we take time to ponder, to notice what Mark notes, and what he doesn't.
