This book provides a correlation of geological, archaeological and historical records with the Bible presented in a new perspective. Why a new perspective? This implies that previous attempts at correlating these items have not provided satisfactory answers to all the factors involved, and from my own experience, this is correct. Most Bible teaching does not include correlation of historical information from other nations with the historical events of the Israelites, and so important information is not conveyed to the student. Teachers should not be faulted for this because this type of ...

Son! Done! Come! These three single words present the key to the great mystery of the book of Revelation. This is the story of Jesus. He was born as a son. He died, and it was done. He lives again and has come to create a living community in himself and the Father through the Spirit. Experiencing Revelation presents a new perspective on this book of the Bible. Rather than analyze countless details separately, the apostle John’s Revelation is best understood as it was designed–a three-act dramatic play revealing Jesus Christ, to be experienced straight through as a whole.

The Bible is filled with many fascinating individuals who lived their lives in the shadowlands of insignificance. Tucked away here and there in the pages of sacred Scripture, we may have passed over them as irrelevant nobodies, yet many of them lived their lives in faith and obedience to God despite facing overwhelming odds. Compiled and significantly adapted or rewritten for today's listener from the classic writings of numerous legendary Christian expositors, such as Charles Spurgeon and others, these passages provide truth that is as relevant today as the day they were penned.

Because Jesus said His Kingdom isn’t “of this world,” many assume that only Heaven is worthy of being pursued, and that the Earth should be forever viewed as an enemy of God’s Kingdom. But nothing could be further from the truth. Jesus didn’t say the Earth itself was unworthy or ungodly; He simply stated that His Kingdom wasn’t “of this world.” What’s more, the phrase “of this world,” really just means it’s not “from this world.” Saying it’s not “of” implies an inherent incompatibility between Earth and this other place; but saying it’s not “from” ...

The Bible is the inspired word of God, but is the Bible we read today the same Bible our ancestors read? For centuries, there were meetings of church leaders to discuss and hash out the contents of the Bible. These included many arguments, disagreements, and controversies before the proper books of the Bible could be decided upon. Questions and curiosities about the Bible are not limited to the nonbeliever.

Isn't it shocking that the precious holy name of the heavenly father has been removed from his own book almost 7,000 times. How do you think God feels? When Jesus taught us how to pray, He said: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name...what name? Is it "God"? That's not his name...it's a title. Is the name "Lord"? That's also not his name...it's also a title. What is the personal holy name of the god you serve? Why is it important to use and praise God's true name?
