Bible Commentary

Do you want to have a better understanding of the Bible? Do you want to see the big picture and how all the pieces tie together? Do you want to have a deeper appreciation for how the New and Old Testaments compliment one another? Beyond the Verse is a collection of Wes McAdams' observations as he embarked on - and completed - a transformational journey of reading whole books of the Bible in one sitting. His summaries of each book of the Bible will help you to notice important themes, ideas, and concepts as you transform the way you read Scripture.

The New Testament book of Jude is a brief yet powerful treatise on the perils of false teaching within the Christian church. Dr. Herndon, in this new passage by passage commentary, makes the argument that Biblical doctrines are like dominos - they stand or fall together as a body of beliefs. Dominos is the first in a new series of dynamic commentaries.

It's the first and greatest command - the most important thing. But even if we want to love God that way, most of us don't. Are we doomed? Absolutely not. Drawing from psychology, Shakespeare, loads of Scripture, and her personal experience falling in love at 13 (and staying in love for 26 years), Gerhardt makes a story-rich case for a surefire way to fall in love and stay in love with God. Inspiring, warm, genuine, and practical, Look to Love is both convincing and comforting. This isn’t a book to shame you into reading your Bible. It’s an invitation and a help.

Este maravilloso libro comunica la infalibilidad del amor de Dios e inspira el renuevo, desde la perspectiva de la mujer, y conecta a la mujer de hoy con la fuente de toda realización que sostuvo a sus hermanas en los tiempos bíblicos, la relación con Dios.

We live in a church age of such profound apostasy that a large segment of evangelicalism is unable to biblically explain what it is to be a "Christian". This is largely due to a wholesale neglect of the doctrine of regeneration - that supernatural impartation of spiritual life to the spiritually dead that causes individuals to savingly believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and so radically transforms their natures that the very desires of their hearts and acts of their wills reflect the nature of God who has made them new creatures in Christ. This is the subject of this little book.

We are all prone to debilitating physical and spiritual weakness. But knowing how to find spiritual strength in those seasons of weakness - especially in the face of persecution - is elusive for most. Timothy, the apostle Paul's son in the faith, struggled with this very thing. But God revealed to him some very practical ways to tap into the resources he already possessed, bringing him much needed comfort and encouragement, while at the same time giving him power to persevere and prevail in the face of overwhelming forces of opposition.

There is perhaps no greater proof of man's innate sinfulness and hostility toward God than the staggering immorality of our culture. Most people, even many Christians, have either a distorted or a non-existent understanding of how God views his or her body, the primary focus of this book. As result, they are vulnerable to the deceptions and threats of the sexual revolutionaries. By examining and obeying God's perspective, we are equipped to navigate a culture saturated with sexual perversion and prurience, and we learn how to walk on a godly path of blessing and joy.

The three letters of John found near the end of the New Testament have a tendency to be oversimplified or simply overlooked in the study of the Scriptures. However, though these letters may on the surface seem less applicable to our time because they address heresies and church management issues that seem unique to the early church, careful study reveals just how contemporary these concerns are. In this volume of James Montgomery Boice’s popular commentary series, pastors, Bible students, and laypersons will find analysis of John’s timeless messages of righteousness, truth, and love.

The purpose of this mini book is to help believers develop a deeper grasp of what it means to be "in Christ", that together we might embrace this intimate oneness more fully by faith and experience more of the confidence, power, and soul-satisfying joy of the presence of our exalted Redeemer. Charles Spurgeon said it best: "There is no joy in this world like union with Christ! The more we can feel it, the happier we are, whatever our circumstances." Through the careful exposition of relevant biblical passages regarding this subject, this little book is certain to animate this joy.

Sorrow is a familiar companion of every Christian. But for those who rest confidently in the good and perfect purposes of God, there exists an inexplicable, subjective awareness of God's all-sufficient grace - a tranquil peace impervious to circumstances that flows from the fountain of His covenantal love for those he has redeemed. The purpose of this little volume is to help believers develop a deeper understanding of this dynamic force of divine resources, one that transforms all believers at the moment of salvation and empowers them in every aspect of their life in Christ.
