I am part of a vast ocean of Christians that view the Word of God through a different set of eyes than those of many pastors, professors, and church staff members. I have interest in the deep theology of scripture and recognize my need to be exposed to and covered by the Word of God similar to that of my "called" brothers in Christ. Yet I want it delivered to me in a simple "worker's language." Recent translations have strived toward this end and...

Understanding the Old Testament's Purpose in the Christian's Life Today
The Old Testament makes up the majority of the Christian Bible, yet incorrect teaching of its texts abounds in the church. Without effectively studying these stories, covenants, and kingdoms within their close, continuing, and complete biblical contexts, believers miss the beauty of the Old Testament, including how it points to Jesus, and why it still matters today.

Here, among other texts, are writings describing the girlhood and betrothal of Mary and her life before Christ's birth; the childhood of Jesus, as described by Peter and Nicodemus; and the appearance of Christ before the gates of Hell, from whence he...

God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 4:6
This book is a cry from the heart of John Piper. He is pleading that God himself, as revealed in Christ's death and resurrection, is the ultimate and greatest gift of the gospel.
None of Christ's gospel deeds and none of our gospel blessings are good news except as means of...

For too long, too many people have told us too many ways in which we should worship God. God, Himself, told us how to worship Him, and thats all we need to know. This book will not give you any answers but should raise many questions, for which you need to ask God to get the answers. My goal is that when you have finished this book, you will feel very uncomfortable with what you have been told to believe. I believe we are living in prophetic times,...

Media teaches that all is fair in love and lust and the woman with the tightest tee-shirt wins. But when men, money, and the mirror fail us and our feminine wiles betray us, God rescues. Jesus reclaims. The Holy Spirit retrains us to wield our femininity-not our wiles-to the glory of God. But for those who are stuck in between wielding our wiles and wielding a mighty witness for Christ, we resonate with the temptations of biblical women like Eve,...

Patiently He teaches us about ourselves and His great love for us as He transforms bad into good, confusion into clarity, and trouble into hope. May God bless...

Gracias a su modo de escribir, se comprende que Jesús de Nazaret es ahora el «Señor de la gloria», que ha resucitado, que se ha realizado...

He has found that people, the ones in the Christian faith, go on and live on what they hear others say. Their whole believe system is based on what somebody else says. There are some that read the Holy Bible and cannot get an understanding of what they are reading. Some read just to prove a point and some just to point a finger....
